Veg...

Your kind words mean more to me than you can know. I really appreciate them. It's tough sometimes, and just a few words of encouragement and understanding can go a long way. Bless you.
 
Two things have occurred to me...

One just occurred to me in the last couple of hours and the other thing occurred to me a couple of weeks ago.

One, on this site, you've got a great group of people who all have a very good sense of humor and no one is easily offended. People are gay friendly, straight friendly, accepting, and generally can police themselves to not go over the line in a way that may offend others. It's damn near utopian. The current membership is a perfect mix of people who interact well together. And most importantly, the current membership has a spirit of all-inclusiveness that values everyone and values all newcomers. So...

I say, shut down the membership right where it is and don't let anyone else in. If you don't have a membership by now, tough, we don't want to take the chance of some ne'r-do-wells coming in here and screwing everything up. I mean, we got a good thing going and why risk it. Sure, maybe some good people might drop by, but we have plenty of good people here already and we don't want any hooligans running rampant in the place. OK? Let's become exclusive as a pre-emptive strike to protect our self-interest.

OK, so that was one thought I had in the last couple of hours.
 
You know, it's funny you should say that Veg, because I've been astounded ever since I discovered this place. I didn't want to say anything I was thinking because I was just feeling my way around and trying to get to know the people and trying to gauge the sensitivities and so forth. But now I think I feel comfortable saying this.

YOU QUEERS ARE MORE MANLY THAN I'LL EVER BE!!

I'm glad I said that and got it off my chest. You know, you go to a website for advice on appliances and you expect to encounter a bunch of grizzled guys with hair on their backs and pot bellies that have the cracks of their asses on constant display. You expect them to only have 5 or 6 words that they can grunt outside of whatever technical terms they need to know. "Yeah, grunt, the potentiometer rubbed against, grunt ballast, order from Cleveland, eight weeks, grunt."

I can't fix a damn thing. I'm calling cleaning out a moldy refrigerator a restoration project and impressing my friends with my mechanical prowess, who are less adept than I am. I am astounded that if you really want good info on this stuff and you really want to talk to the experts, and if you want to talk to people who really know their way around tools and all things mechanical, you seek out gay guys! When did this happen? And what are the grizzled guys with hair on their backs with the ass cracks on display doing for a living these days? Interior decorating?

So, yeah, this has been an amazing experience for me. And my astonishment still hasn't worn off yet. Which is good. Because when it does, I'm going to be really pissed off at you guys for being more manly than me and making me feel inadequate.
 
Strange that my Subject Drift didn't get posted with that. That was in response to Veg's "Okay, is it me, or are we the straightest bunch of queers on earth?" question to put it in some context.
 
I'll take that

I'll take a slim "grizzled guy with hair on his back", to fix my appiance. He should be a clean grizzled and nonsmoking guy though. see my refrigerator hasn't been working right, oh yeah...
 
Vers, Jason, I too, am, (almost ashamed to admit it) oh well here goes, straight. WHEW! That was tough. I had to laugh when I first was on this site. I said to my brother, "I think most of these guys are gay." He thought I was kidding him. In our area, most appliance guys are just drunks.
 
Have a cocktail, all will look better....

Just a theory, but:

IMHO- The "drunk" helps them DEAL with being closeted gays.
"I was so drunk last night I don't remember a thing....."

Again, just an observation:
Pennsylvania Station (Penn Station) NYC is the grand terminus of the Long Island Railroad (to go east) and New Jersey Transit (to go west). It amazes me to see the percentage of men that have a drink before heading home. Is wife and kiddie-land in suburbia so bad? Or are there other issues going on?
 
Toggle,

Sorry to talk about my rump, just responding to Versatronic's statement above. At least your response wasn't "tounge-in-cheek(s)" so to speak. LOL LOL LOL! couldn't help it. rough morning.
 
for those heteros...

Tounges in cheeks and rumps, oh, I don't think that line of conversation is appropriate here. REAlly ! :^[

You all should know that for all you, well, dare I say it, heterosexuals, I accept you.
(perhaps you should consider aversion treatments) Just don't display your offensive behavior in front of me.
 
Is wife and kiddie-land in suburbia so bad?

Unfortunately it's the very things us heteros desire (wives and kids) that sometimes drive us to drink. If it ain't the woman, it'll be the kids that push them over the brink.
 
Regarding Toggle's Theory

I have no wife and kids at all
But I still slurp down alcohol
So it's not the wife that makes you drink
It probably what Mr. Toggle thinks
That there're only two types of men about
Those in the closet and those who are out
It's just a theory but that's his call
It's a wonder we procreate at all
