LOL! I agree, he definitely looks like he swings for the other side. Is that a Santa suit or a fluffy white boa?

I didn't see that comment coming but hey, I guess beer goggles have no limits.

Nice post, Davie! You will be in CH before you know it! It is hard to believe it has been a year since you started researching!

Can't wait to get back to some much needed sunshine, myself!

It is not beer goggles, it is just I am one of the few people who will speak my mind and not care what anyone thinks of it. Yes, that guy is totally hot. I would like to look like him. Would I want to be with him, of course not. Straight girls do the same thing all the time, but there is a stigma regarding men doing it for some reason.

The crime in this city is so horrendous that it makes other places look tame. People over in the Orlando forum always complain about crime, but its safe compared to the things that go on in this town. Dont get me wrong, I love LV but its both saddening and maddening that this wonderful city has such a HUGE problem with crime. A month or so back I remember reading about the 25 most dangerous neighborhoods in America (not cities, but the neighborhoods within) and 3 of those 25 were in LV. One was 28th Street, another was Balzar Ave and the 3rd was D Street, ranked 2,3 and 8

I remember having my 7th birthday party at a Chuck E Cheese, and I would be traumatized even to this day if I had witnessed that

They say that Metro is too trigger happy, but sometimes I can see why

Maybe. I felt much safer when I lived on your end of town. I think the news here is blowing some of it out of proportion but thats any news market

Speaking of Cleveland airics you might get a good laugh of these videos im going to send you

Where you live in Vegas definitely will color how you see it. And...watching the news sometimes gives you a feeling that it's worse than it is. It's pretty quiet where I am. When I first moved to Vegas I lived in the Desert Shores apartments and although Desert Shores is a nice area there was a lot of crime in the apartment complex. You would see police cars there every night for some reason or another. It was scary for me as my husband at that time was gone a lot for work so I often would pack up and stay at my aunts while he was gone.

Speak your mind all you wish, I feel the same way. However, I think there is a bit of a difference between admiring his physical appearance and saying you would almost turn gay for him. Either way, I found what you said to be funny and that's all that matters.

Far more shocking to me, given the high unemployment rate, destitution, people that have simply given up-thrown in the towels and face clothes, is there's not even more crime.

IMO, we're getting off pretty easy, so far!

Put yourself into the position of someone who has lost everything, no job on the horizon, children to feed. Now I understand when I recently read an article on homeless teenagers, why even parents today are pushing their kids onto the streets, can't afford to keep them around.
