Huh? Any guy who takes good care of himself can still look good/hot in his 60s and 70s. Just look at Paul Newman and Sean Connery.

Most women start to fade in their 30s, some can maintain their looks up to their mid 50s, but after that, the best thing they can aim for is to look attractive and well kept.

GC
There is no taking it back. You cannot unring the bell.

Hilary and Jackie

Sheesh, GC, for an uberman you're not all that cultured.

So...ever read Evelyn Waugh?

GC
NORMAL people don't think like that. NORMAL people are attracted to GROWN UPS not children.
Sex with children is violence to their lives. Men like you JUSTIFY it and gratify your sick desires and I'm sorry to say there is probably no help for you. The recidivism rate for sex offenders is the same with and without therapy. YOU ARE SICK.

GC,

You've toyed with us and just now discovered that your toys come with teeth and a conscience.

You're the young urchin who makes obscene gestures to get other people's attention.

Linda and Peter P,

Although I'm not in favor of further discussions on this topic, I do think GC's primary motive was to provoke reactions from us, positive or negative, and he doesn't actually want a real discussion about man boy love. He's aware enough to know he won't really get that discussion here.

Now , back to housing and knives.
My knife set was handmade by a fellow in Portland (Din) Oregon.
Dave Murphy Blades.
Beautiful.
And
a shortsale is something the bank has to agree to...that is why they need to let you know in the listing. In the early 90s there were many short sales. The bank would rather sell this way because they are not in the house selling biz. And they don't want to be. The house might still go into foreclosure if the shortsale doesn't go through fast enough. This happened to me on my 3rd house...I then bought it from th bank 10 years ago for $160K. 3bdrm-2ba pool 1800 sq ft.

GC is an asshloe.

Linda, I totally understand your anger. But let's give GC a chance for now. Perhaps he does not really have sick thoughts. However, he is guilty until he is proven innocent.

-asshloe.
+asshole

Linda, calm down. Anger and stress are no good to you.

Thread admin, are you falling asleep?

Talking about gay act is one thing, speaking of child molestation and paedophilia is entirely another matter. I think GentleCheetah should be banned for crossing the line.

I don't visit this site for gay topic, there are far better sites with more graphic illustration to satisfy those who have interest in this topic.

Can someone delete GC's posts as well? If you go down this path, a lot of poster who have more interesting things to say will be discouraged to come visit again.

Anger and stress are not good to hold in.
Letting them out on the appropriate subject is another story altogether.
Look at X!
It keeps him young!
Oh, right, he IS young,

I think I’ll go home kick the cat or something. Oh wait that would mean I would have to let the cat out of the bag first.

Ray, OVER THE LINE

Kick the cat indeed.

GC
Stop, go away, or we'll ban you.
Asshole.

Owneroccupier,

Good point. It's better not to alienate people for one man's exhibitionism.

Peter P,

Although I'm not personally offended, it will be better to erase the offending remarks.

I think GentleCheetah should be banned for crossing the line.

Let's delete for now. He should considered himself warned for potential banning.

Thank you Peter P.
As you can see he struck a chord with me.
I not only have a gorgeous 13 year old boy but I have worked with troubled teens whos lives were trashed by jerks that think like GC.
This is an area not to be tred upon lightly.

Linda,

Thanks! I read about Murphy's knives on the knife forum I linked yesterday.

I think that might be a bit too special for me right now, though those are quite beautiful and not expensive for what they are. I think that for now, I will get a low end MAC knife, and a good water stone. That should keep my knives appropriately sharp and usable, until I can afford more.

I apoligize to the rest of you for my profanity...
but alas...I wouldn't have said it any differently.
It needed to be said.
And I thank those of you who helped.
Greatly appreciated.

Thanks Peter P.

I went to a Catholic boy's school for most of my school life. While I was very lucky to end up with kind-hearted and dedicated fathers who did everything possible to give us the best education, I do know someone less fortunate and got his life messed up by a child-molesting priest who was eventually brought to justice many years later.

It is not a topic that should be discussed lightly on any site, it belongs to some kind of forum for the support group.

I apoligize to the rest of you for my profanity…

I totally understand.

If you look at the ziprealty inventory, why is Evergreen in San Jose having the highest inventory? I am under the impression that Evergreen is a quite decent part of San Jose. Its inventory is higher than Gilroy and Morgan Hill!

Linda,

It's fine. You're right to be angry.

Although I don't think GC would actually act on his impulses, that sort of dehumanizing of victims thinking is the sort that aids many a gruesome crimes.

I used to know a guy named Mr. Morgan
that raised Morgan horses on Morgan Hill!

Also, I am not seeing anything above $2M moving since 2 months ago. Of course, beyond the $2M mark, there are LOTS of $2-5M on the market, hundreds for sure. Do the owners have to sell? Why do they want to sell? Where do you scoop up so many homeless multi-millioanires to take over these multi-million dollar homes?

Is 95138 any good?

Linda,

he should have branded his horses: Morgan Horses by Mr. Morgan of Morgan Hill. That would have been a very distinctive brand :-)

Shut up, "BenJammin."

I think 95138 is near the Coyote Creek Park at the Eastern foothill, better than getting trapped in the middle. San Jose has several good spots, IMHO, downtown, because it is getting cool, west side Almaden, Santa Teresa, and the Eastside foothill. Anything trapped in the middle is just not interesting at all.

Around LA the buyers lately of the 900K homes are rich folks downsizing from their multi mil$ home on the westside. So, the question...who are all these buyers and where do they get all that $$$ has been answered. I believe there are still some specuvestors at work in the Sherman Oaks, Studio City area...but fewer.
I am waiting to hear of short sales as I believe they are the first concrete sign that prices have dropped and banks aren't expecting them to rise any day soon.
Short sales are a very good sign.
I would love to hear if there are short sales in other areas.
LA seems to follow Orange County...anybody from there?

What is short sale?

http://www.shortsaleexpert.com/

It means that the homedebtor is trying to sell for less than the loan amount. It requires bank approval and may have tax consequences. It is messy but it is one way to avert foreclosure.

quoting from Requiem (thanks for the clarification, BTW),

"Quoting eHow:
A short sale in real estate occurs when the outstanding obligations (loans) against a property are greater than what the property can be sold for."

Thanks, requiem --very cool (and timely)!

Peter P.
I plagiarized your shortsale post ;)

SP
I almost don't recognize you with your new name.
PS(post script)...I like the name LILLL. :)
It's a good short cut.
Sould I change my handle to LILLL?

Oh!

Yeah, we Bay Areareits are proud to announce the birth of our first batch of NEOs! (Negative Equity Owners)

We should have a sidebar here for a NEO support group, NEOs from around the world, Tokyo, London, Hong Kong, SF, UNITE!

astrid,

Nah, I won't worry about that too much, the banks have the muscle, not the pity little NEOs. I have seen NEOs around the world go down in flames without a dime of help from the government. In fact there was a few NEO pride parade in HK a few years ago, nothing happened.

Astrid
Last crash round the govt did nothing to help NEOs. Instead, they passed the 500K cap gains law.
The gov might help out Fannie but I doubt the neighborhood NEOs will benefit. If they do deflate the USD, I doubt it will be to help the NEO...it would be to reduce the national debt...don't you think? Any NEO benefit would just be a lucky side-effect.
What do you guys think?
