"My income is static, so paying increased prices, higher credit card interest & fees, increased MTS fees etc... past 6 weeks I have paid $300 co-pays for out patient procedures, $225 for MRI's, $80 for post procedure medication, $85 for doctor visits. I did get a purple cast, though!!!" Whew, I getcha, Auntie. Time for some reform, huh?— October 26, 2009 1:28 a.m.

Straight Eye for the Gay Guy
Oh gosh--still sleepy--forgot for a moment this had to define a gaycon crush. Ok, I guess I imagined it would be embarrassing a. because of the unavailability of the gaycon, as mentioned by others in this thread, and b. gayness has an obvious, though unfortunate stigma attached. Add in any other wierdnesses or complications, and you add in further embarrassment and vulnerability.— October 26, 2009 12:49 a.m.
Straight Eye for the Gay Guy
Yes, Mistuh Meat and his tale of meeting--oh, and he wasn't in "full whore attire?" Hmmm. :) I thought I just sort of did explain, but---sighhhh--ok, just had a nice nap, so will oblige. I sometimes can't tell when you are like, testing me to see if I'll answer appropriately, or when you are seriously seeking an answer, Fishy... So. They are called "crushes" because they are not often happy. Crushes almost always carry at least a bit of vulnerability with them. The vulnerability of allowing oneself to feel a sense of intimacy for someone otherwise unknown--('get a life, man'). This vulnerability can translate to a sense of embarrassment, because crushes remain almost by definition unrequited--if the other person likes you, it is then a mutual crush, and the term might take on a more sensual connotation than it does for a single love/lust-angsty party. I feel like this captures the main point, but it would be interesting to hear others add to the definition.— October 26, 2009 12:39 a.m.

Straight Eye for the Gay Guy
re: #34: Surely you can see why one might consider it a tad embarrassing, Cuddle. Crushes in general can be embarrassing. So here is more tripe from answerbag on the burning question (for me) of the day: Is Art Garfunkel gay? This guy clearly relishes this tale, embellished over years of retelling: http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/73630 "No question he is. I was attending an Art Garfunkel show at Starlight Ampitheater in Kansas City probably a decade ago. It was mid to late summer and I was in decent shape, clad in shorts and frankly, looking pretty good. I was with a good friend of mine who was renting equipment to some of Garfunkel's backup musicians. Anyway, I was standing offstage during the show and during a break, he came over to where I was standing in a circle of about 3-4 others. He grabbed a towel from one of his handlers, then took a step forward and stuck his face right in mine. The lighting was poor, and I simply presumed he was trying to figure out who I was and why I was in such close proximity to the state. No biggie. After the show, I was leaning against my buddy's car which was pulled up behind the stage area of this outdoor venue, waiting for him to retrieve the equipment he'd rented the band. Art Garfunkel comes out of his dressing room, strides past 3-4 aging female groupies each decked-out in full whore attire, and made a beeline straight towards me. He refused to even turn his head to acknowledge these ladies, instead staring daggers into me as he walked straight toward me from a range of 40 yards. As he came within 10 feet of me, and without taking his eyes off of me, he made a sharp turn and boarded his tour bus, clearly demonstrating to me his predeliction for good looking younger men. I felt like a piece of meat."— October 25, 2009 9:54 p.m.
