Aww...thanks ebayj! I hope our paths cross again in 2008!

Yes! Logic Puzzles too!

For the competitive amongst you, why not take a sudoku puzzle out of the paper, photocopy it (or print two of the same puzzle from online), then race to see who finishes first. The loser has to buy dinner. Or provide some other form of service or payment. :D

Furthermore, I think that the most real kindness you can give kids is examples of well adjusted, happy gay people that the kids see in their everyday lives. In fact, I think that applies to more than kids. *That's* how we earn respect.

Bingo. A man who is man enough to to kiss you in public! Now THAT'S romantic! :D

I felt bad for the retired couples park right behind us at that time... And come to think of it, i wasn't even sure if there were kids in those cars... Maybe it is just me... it just doesn't seem quite right to do that infront of kids or where kids could see...

WHAAAT?!

I agree, but without the football watching (this Euro transplant still had not found any interest in American football). Oh yeah, and switch the beer to vodka or campari. What do we have left? Oh yeah, masculine guy :D
Trip to Paris for me is always romantic, Ive done this so many times, but would still find it most romantic with the right guy.

Also, I have bought a ticket just to go through security to meet someone, on several occasions, I do too think its romantic.

Oh, and to give my 2 cents worth... I do find PDA to be a bit much for me (let it be straight or gay), maybe its just my upbringing, but I don't like to do it and when a guy tries to kiss yours truly in public, I always get rather shy about it.

My BF and I have never shied away from a goodbye kiss (or a hello kiss either) at the airport. Because we live in different cities, our visits often begin or end at the airport. He usually walks me to the start of the security line, and we say our goodbye there, and it doesn't bother us if someone sees us and doesn't approve. That's their problem, not ours. It's not like our goodbye kiss is anything pornographic either; we'll save the heavy stuff for home, because that's just our style.

When he flies to Houston to see me, I always find a way through security to greet him at the gate, and on his way out of town, I go through security again and wait for the flight with him, and we say our goodbye at the gate during the boarding process.

I just recalled one occurrence… My friend was picking me up from campus one day… And when I opened the door to the truck, I saw 3 red roses on the seat… a small teddy bear was strapped to the stems and it was wearing my favorite 24 nascar overall… Silly me, I didn’t know the significance of 3 roses at that time… and that whole trip, I was happily playing with the teddy bear with my right hand… and my left hand, was holding his right… :)

I asked that because…

1) At airports that I've been to, I hardly saw any kissing between same sex couples… So I wasn’t sure…

2) There have been articles, which might have been discussed here, about gay couple told to cover up their act in the plane by cabin crew, or one about a gay couple told to leave the cabin because they were acting intimately or something like that… And that confused me further… :confused:

I think they are trying to make it easy for us who grew up watching football being kicked rather than handled - by introducing the NFL fantasy league… U can place guys u fantasize of in your league… I think that is how it works… :p I tried pretty hard to form my team… and so far, i only have four members in it… and all coaches…

1. Wade Phillips (cowboys)… His quarterback gave him a big high-five one Sunday and he was shaking his hand in pain after that… The following Sunday, the quarterback did a soft smack on his palm… U should have seen his reaction… Like a little boy who just got a smooch from his childhood sweetheart… That grin was so darn cute… ;)

2. Brian Billick (ravens)… He was throwing kisses to a player from the team his is playing against… That was such a refreshing sight… I tried to catch a few of those kisses… But Ray Lewis smacked them down before they get a chance to travel 10 yards… :(

3. Andy Reid (eagles)… He once made a bet with TO that if he were to catch 15 TDs, he would wear a spandex pants… Now, that would be quite a sight too… And that was the only season I was rooting for TO…

4. Mike Holmgren (seahawks)… He looks just like an identical twin to Andy Reid, doesn’t he???

To keep this post on topic, I bet Atlanta QB Joey Harrington would be very romantic. Sigh...

Years ago my mom and sister came to visit me in New York from San Francisco. I hadn't officially come out to my family and and the trip was to let them see what my life was all about at the time. Anyway, I took them to my favorite restaurant in Chelsea. When the waiter heard that it was my birthday he gave me a huge kiss on the mouth. My mom, who was pretty liberal, took a moment to process what she saw. Finally, she said to my sister 'I guess New York is a lot more European than San Francisco!'. I think at that moment she knew I was gay and happy with my life.

Yepper… I find it weird myself… For some reasons I am wired quite differently… Some people finding their partners to be extra sexy when they speak in Italian or French… If my guy can speak with a southern drawl like Larry the cable guy, I would find that to be pretty tantalizing… Just like a chunky piece of meat drenched in spicy BBQ sauce… hot hot hot…

Ok, I need help!!! lol

What is the significance of 3 roses?
