It is far more important to me that the guy drive a nice truck.

You are soooooo eating your pork and beans on a fukcing Chinet when you come to my house hooker!

Seriously. Sure, I'm pretty inspiring, but still.

It must have been your inspiration. We gentlemen raise our game against quality opposition

YES! Thank you . . .

I think that all things happen for a reason. I have never been so drained physically and emotionally in all my life. The closest of his family live about 9 hours away (his brother), so I was really the only one to monitor the disaster as it unfolded. They have repeatedly told me that he probably would have killed himself without medical intervention. Well, I don't know about that, but it certainly could have gotten to that point easily, which was VERY scary.

I have learned alot about myself through all of this, and really educated myself about addictions and mental illness. The only way to deal with the uncertainty and fear involved in these two issues is through education, especially with respect to bipolar illness, which is an biological based chemical inbalance that you are born with. I did not escape unscathed; I also had to take care of myself, which involved moving out, establishing strong boundaries and going for some counseling for anxiety (shouldn't be hard to figure out why!!).

What doesn't kill you WILL make you stronger!

I met Derek at the gay bar here in Minneapolis. He just looked at me as I walked by him on night, and that was it. LoL, even someone like me can get lucky once in awhile. We've been together for almost 2 years now.

Thank you. I was really surprised because I'm a pretty heavy guy, and most, NOT ALL, gay men are pretty obsessive about being thin. It's also funnybecause when I'm at the bar, unlike most of the guys there, I'm not on a nonstop mission to get some ass.

I hate going to proms at my age though.

Chinet is fine with me. I would however, like my Patron in a glass of some sort.

Was dating a hot Jordanian guy. Really, looking back...HOT...way out of my league. Just "bizzy" partners. He took me to meet some of his "cousins." There amongst the "cousin gang" was my future husband. I absolutely could NOT stand him, and told him as much. The rest is slightly embarrassing, and not for PG audiences.

I've been married 13 years, w/ him 14 as of 7/4/06. The guy is honestly a patron saint, cause only he and the creator of the Universe could POSSIBLY put up w. my BS. That said he is a constant thorn in my side, but I love him

Have you ever had Camino tequila? I had some in Kenya and it was excellent.
