Hey! I was equal opportunity inviter! Everyone got invited at the same time, I think. Except for those who I did't invite at all....is that rude? :)

A! My dear friend I'm sorry. Crap, rat spit and more crap! Is it the job? The airline industry doesn't exactly have a reputation for building steady relationships with happy homes. Have you tried an in-flight announcement to the passengers, "This is the captain speaking any hot, single gay guy interested in a committed relationship please report to the cockpit immediately." Just a thought.

Hahaha! That would! And it would almost be worth losing my job! Almost.

Hahaha! Now you’re giving me ideas! No wonder I’m not meeting anybody, I never think of doing anything like this! But maybe I should wait until I’m closer to retirement, then it won’t matter if they do fire me!

A. my dear friend. Do you have to insist that he be an intelligent gay pro football player? I mean intelligent? You couldn't just settle for a gay pro player who hasn't had his brain completely scrambled yet by repeated head injuries?

No, not the job. A man will put up with anything about you if they love you and really want to be with you. I’ve witnessed it with my own eyes. I’ve seen completely neurotic, borderline psychotic, certifiably crazy gay men, light into their totally hot, completely adorable hunky boyfriends and publicly abuse them in the most abominable manner. And yet, said hunky boyfriend stays with them and puts up with it. If they behave like that in public, can you imagine how they are in private?
Which leaves me wondering, If these total-whack-job homos’ can get a man and keep a man, and get away with how badly they mistreat their men, then there must really be something totally screwed up with me!
It’s sort of like all these young and still-single shop girls working at Bridal stores, waiting on all these control-freak Bridezillas, all the while wondering how on earth these bitches, with all their outrageous, demanding behaviour, ever found anybody to marry them?!
Okay! Whew…tirade over. I’m climbing down from my soapbox now.

Oh, I’d settle for one of those, alright. That way, when he tries to say anything intelligent, I can just reach up and close his mouth, clamp my legs harder around him and shout, “Oh, just shut up and do me!!!”.

No way. You are fun and witty, attractive, fit, intelligent and need I say it, well traveled. You are interesting and empathetic, thoughtful and energetic. You make me laugh and you always have a kind word to say. All that and you dress well too. (That suit you wore to the fundraiser fit you to perfection!) I am proud of you! Rog thinks you're the greatest and he is a good judge of character. After all he thinks I'm the bees knees so he must be one smart cookie.

That really does beggar the question, doesn’t it?
The longer I remain single, the more I’m convinced that we are not attracted to someone for the reasons we tell ourselves, we don’t reject someone for the reasons we tell ourselves, we don’t love someone for the reasons we give ourselves, and we don’t leave or dump someone for the reasons we give ourselves either.
This whole business of attraction, repulsion, coming together, staying together, and growing apart, is driven on a level far, far below anything we’re conscious of.
Haven’t you noticed, when someone "falls in love" with you, there’s nothing you can do to turn them away, and when someone "falls out of love with you", there’s absolutely nothing you can do to win them back?
I’m convinced that we love someone or leave someone first, and THEN come up with reasons to justify it, and not the other way around. It looks like the reasons come first, but in reality, the reasons come after.
But what do I know? I’ve not been in a relationship worthy of the name in a decade.

Really sorry Tj. There is no reason with the tools available for pain management that they cannot keep you free of pain. I think they are doing a sucky job and aren't even trying to treat you fully.

YYYYYESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, Lucas. I think you’re the cat’s pyjamas too.
Oh, wait!…this is the Complaints Department! Sorry...

You humble me. In all earnestness, you make me remember how very little I really have to complain about. Thank you.
May all your doctor visits, no matter how tiring and vexing, bring you a measurable amount of relief.

Grrrrr…….I hate that too. Although I did manage to turn that into a positive while reading Special Forces. Because comments were flooding in from Australia and North America and Asia and Europe, you could literally check in on the group first thing when you woke up, whenever you had a free moment during the day, and again before going to bed at night, and someone, somewhere, would have posted something new.
Damn…forgot again! Complaints! *Slaps palm to forehead*

TJ, I agree with Lucas. Your doctors suck! And I'm sorry you're in pain all the time. On the plus side, your in-laws aren't visiting so you can look at and read all the man on man action you want, right?

Okay Laura. Done.
My complaint is that my friends in England are 5 hours ahead of the US Eastern Time zone so if I don't get an email to them in the morning they won't see my email until the next day. :-{

Regardless. I'm annoyed at Rule 2's business about ending a sentence with a preposition. Hell, isn't it better, easier and more street-wise to ask "Hoo ya goin wif?" than to use the snobbish "Wif hoom are ya goin?" The latta sounds ya goin to listen ta some old fat tart tryin to sing at cha, usually soundin like 'er Calvin Kleins are too tight! S**t, I dunno. And der's der second damn rool I hate. No swearin? Wat yer on 'bout, ay?
I'll let yerz all know me udder hates anudder time, when I feel like rooly complainin. Peace!

Well we can freaking go nuts saying stuff like No Frigging Fracking! But if we used those nasty four letter words we couldn't have an open group because we'd have to be an adult group and only take members 18 years old or older. That would not be good because then I'd have to do work admitting applicants and folks would not have instant membership like it is now.
The rule about not ending sentences with a preposition was made so people could have have something to complain about if their lives were otherwise perfect.
My own rat spit bad arse complaint is that I cannot see the rules dammit. I wanted to be annoyed by them but darn fool programmers must have exempted founders/moderators from seeing the annoying rules. You see rules really? Drat. I don't. Everybody who can see rules raise your hand. No, use your right hand Preston. Geez. I'd tell him off but the rules say we cannot complain about fellow members except you can complain about me.
Thanks Justin for some really well phased points of protest. It is obvious you are a highly edjumacated writer with strong language skills.

So would I, but I hate that because I work from home I still have to do all the housework and cooking. I don't do the laundry, that fall to my partner, who is always losing one of a pair of socks in the tumble dryer. Actually, I let the dusting take care of itself on the advice of of housekeeping guru Quentin Crisp.
I hate books with copious citation notes at the end which all turn out to only say "Ibid" (which is short for ibidem, and which is only TWO letters longer, so why not use the long version?).

How come Aves is allowed to spell it "pyjamas" and I'm forced to Americanize it to "pajamas", which looks totally stoopid to English (that's British English) ears.

I work at my home art studio, so I have to do all the housework and cooking too. And my Partner can't even do the Laundry right! How can a genius person doesn't have a clue about managing the household!!

Please pose your comments in the form of a complaint or face the consequences which may include not be served any fairy cakes should we ever serve fair cakes here which is highly doubtful.

Thanks Shannon. The frelling rule against the four-letter word kind of cursing is because the donkeyholes at Goodreads would make this group become restricted to people who are 18 years old or older then we would have to close the group and make people apply
for membership. We'd rather keep it an open group with instant access by keeping the language creatively harsh but not unacceptable for children's delicate ears. This is irritating I know but necessary and you may feel free to complain about it as I am doing my best to do.

Because Roger has an issue with the rules now everyone must suffer with having the rules popup every time you post. You cannot complain about Roger because it's against the rules to complain about other members but you may complain about me all you like.
Everyone is allowed to spell any word anyway they please here. Misspelling is encouraged and Typos are welcome.

BTW Fracking is not being allowed in Britain, even though we are desperate for all the gas it would release, which is freaking lots of people out.
Just thought I'd add that.

OK, Luccass…

But Lucas, that's your fault for being 5 hours behind!

I'm ticked off that Roger Kean author of the magnificent 130,000+ word gay male romance A Life Apart doesn't understand his time zone is called Greenwich Mean Time because while he is up and active in the Mean Time I'm sleeping and that is while they call British time Mean (as in cruel.)

I'm getting almost slightly a wee bit imperceptibly perturbed that Zack author of Zack the Art didn't quite comply with The First Rule although I'll let it pass because the complaint was implied though not formally stated plus he did such a great job at calling me an ass (Ok. Luccass) although I'm sure his partner Roger is gritting his teeth and thinking that he should have written Luccarse to use the proper British spelling of the word for beautiful bubble butt cheeks.

Although this comment comes dangerously close to violating the Fourth Rule it is allowed because I originated the use of the word intelligent in this thread and criticizing me is not only allowed but is encouraged.

Um…to shamelessly turn the focus back on ME, I’ve STILL got "beautiful bubble butt cheeks”. I acquired them the only way a hapless, genetically butt-challenged Asian man can: through years and years of ballet classes. I may be well into middle-age, but I’ve had no complaints yet.

While A. is technically in violation of the First Rule it can be overlooked because (1) he used the word "complaints" in his message and (2) he does have beautiful bubble butt cheeks.
In reference to Aves' arse I am upset that none of our members has yet set him up with a hunky straight-acting, muscular, gay guy who is into worshipful fidelity to a sweet, funny and cute airline pilot whose name begins with A.

Ahahahaha!!!!!!! You are SOOOO funny!!!!!! *picking self up off floor and holding belly because of uncontrollable laughing*
Your fiancé is so incredibly lucky to have you! And never, ever pass up an opportunity to remind him so.

:( Untrue, they arrived about a week ago with an open-ended leave date! They were even here yesterday for my birthday. Spoiled it all as well by just oh, so thoughtfully getting a cake for me and insisting on eating it right then with me. I had the cake I want in the fridge. Darn me and my need to be polite!!!

Girl, just take one for the team and carry on being polite. Politeness and good manners are such a rare commodity these days, and are therefore to be prized. And one day rewarded.
I know you feel really put upon, but you’ll almost never regret zipping it. As long as no outrageous demands are made of you, and you can reasonably tolerate the imposition, you will do better in the long run to keep your reputation for graciousness intact.

Well *bleep*! Weren't they just visiting? Lucky they have you and not me for a DIL seeing as I have a big mouth and homophobes drive me bat*bleep* crazy! *giant hugs*


Show them. I'll complain if you don't!"
Oh I would love to, while I've still got them, because I don't know how much longer I can keep these bubble butt cheeks nice and high and tight. They're gonna have to go eventually. Unfortunately, releasing one's bootie shots into the wild, blue, world wide web, is fraught with peril. They have a way of showing up in the most unintended places, such as your boss' computer. Maddeningly inconvenient.
Uh-oh, the Complaint forms are running out.
