I was having trouble reading your blog but I would just increase the page size to get the font readable. This new font looks great and is readable for me even without my glasses. In my late forties, I guess it was embarrassing to bring up. I have trouble reading some other blogs because of their choice of colors (Black on dark grey isn't readable for me. I get around that by highlighting the text so it becomes white on green. Much better.)

The lasik thing sounds great, but I want to wait a few years to see what happens with the crowd getting it done now. I don't want to find out about long-term problems developing. I know nothing about the technology, so maybe my concerns are misplaced.

I could do lipo, and rogaine, and get rid of the crow's feet, but seeing most of Hollywood looking like Plastic-surgery hell, I just don't want to go there. Plus, after appendix and gall bladder, I don't want my abdomen carved up any further.

Glad I read the whole post. I had to refresh to have the new font size take affect. Much better. View text bigger had to be clicked every time I viewed your blog.

Who knew so much of your audience was older? I'd thank you for increasing the font size, but since I'm officially only 43, I don't need bifocals yet, and it was okay before. By the way, assuming that catering to the older audience is a means towards your ultimate goal of becoming a full-time boy toy, I think you should be more proactive and hire an agent. I reckon that you're too much trouble for any one older gentleman, but if you drop yourself into an LLC and sell limited partnership interests, you can find a way to have a dozen or so men sharing your time and body. Just make sure to keep all the voting shares for yourself and draft the LLC agreement so that you retain any real estate that the LLC purchases to keep you in the style that you deserve. That way when you hit forty-five and everyone loses interest, you'll be set for a life of leisure. And in the meantime, you can deduct your lube as an ordinary and necessary business expense. I could probably find a way for you to write off your Lasik, too.

Wonder no longer.

As another oldster (46ish), I thank you for the new font size. Size certainly matters after 40.

Firstly.
I feel the need to go wash my brain out with a combination of lysol and ammonia . . maybe liberally dose it with lye.
I made the mistake of opening up the "lemon party" link.
I really do think I smell ben-gay . . or it could be some burned out synapsis from having viewed that. *gag*

Secondly, I did have a problem reading your site . .however . .I just attributed it to the fact that I'm reading it on a flat screen TV across the room from me. I just bumped up the font size and move on with life.

You maybe a people pleaser. But I don't expect the world to change for me . . at least not without a lot of work.
Even a Crazed World Dictator has to start somewhere.

Yes, it's too small but you can just go to "view", "view text larger". It's that easy.

And, thanks for the votes!

Your blog seems narrower; did you lose some inches?

I saw in People that Jamie Lee Curtis dropped 18 whopping lbs and then posed nude for AARP. Of course her "fat" shot before has her looking like she got her face stuck on the hot plate and singed all her hair, and melted her eyes into Louis Vuitton shoulder bags beneath her eyes. She looks much cheerier now, but I can tell a chemical peel when I see one.

I wonder: if you're furry, can you have a chemical peel, i.e. other places than your face?

More power to the Lemon Party guys in the photo. I hope when I'm that old I'll still be able to have threeways and suck cock.

DB: I still don't see any elderly buttsex happening on that Lemon Party page, which is tooooootally fine, really. But since someone took the time to shock us with a link to the real thing, I thought I'd point that out. I also give those old dudes credit for still engaging in sexual activity -- especially daisy chains. I'm just surprised. At some point, doesn't our libido slow down...significantly? According to that photo, not if you're gay! Unbelievable. Gay men are piggy until the very end, it seems. I don't want to be sexual after a certain age. I really don't. It preoccupies too much of my time already. We all could more productive if we didn't have the urges and constant fantasies rotating through our minds every 8 minutes. I mean, I'll still do it once in a great while if necessary, but I'd prefer to be less needy in that department. I'd rather turn in my dick when I hit 80 and take up painting or dog walking.

That photo of Ms. van Ark has been "enhanced" to make her look worse than she really does. I passed her walking across the street a while back in Tribeca and she looked electrifying.

I wouldn't know yet about the slowing libido yet...I am only 45...I turn 46 on the 27th and until then don't you dare call me 46...DON"T YOU DARE!! The partner did...they'll find the dismembered body parts...someday...maybe.

Anyhow, I do know about the eyes going bad...wake up one day and while perusing the hooker ads in the back of Gay Chicago (HEY, HEY...I was shopping for a friend's birthday!) you feel the need to run to Walgreens for a pair of $10 half moon magnifiers with a pearl neck string. It happens TJ...you've got about 10 more years.

Also, I don't recommend that you give up sex too easily in old age. I don't know you but somehow I don't think cross stitch, scrapbooking and watching 40s movie musical DVDs will pick up the slack...you'll probably end up being a grammar troll on other people's blogs :)

Hmmm ... I didn't smell Ben Gay ... it was Oil of Olay (Oil of Old Lady) instead.

I like the new font size ... it looks cleaner and tighter.

And for your demographics, I'm 49 and had Lasik in 1999 and have not regretted having it done at all! Nor have I regretted any other "enhancements" that have been done over the past few years ;-)

Oh sure, now your font is big, yeah, so?

Ya know how to use it? Lots of guys with big fonts type with no flair at all, in my opinion. Just kinda write like they're making a grocery list thinking just having big type is enough to satisfy.

So, look, now that you got your font surgically enhanced, try to like use it creatively, ok? Play with the pacing, come at topics from different angles, and definitely, when we're least expecting it, go deep.

"I mean, I'll still do it once in a great while if necessary, but I'd prefer to be less needy in that department. I'd rather turn in my dick when I hit 80 and take up painting or dog walking."

I've already taken up pottery. As you get older the neediness subsides naturally. Most times I'd settle for a nice massage.

Um, one should NEVER use Ben Gay as lube. It falls under the "bad idea" header. So do ketchup and Tigger Bubbles.

And 80 year olds don't have buttsex, because when the top pulls out, so do the bottom's intestines. Just like in "Pigs at the Troff"

Everyone will be living well into their 100s by the time you're 80 and 20 to 30 years of painting and dog walking sounds like it would get old after a while.

And if 50 is the new 40 now, surely 80 will at least be the new 70 then.

Honey child, Lasic doesn't help with the need for reading glasses when you hit your 40s. I discussed this with my sexy eye doctor last year. At 44-years-ancient I am now cursed with old person eyes.

Do you really think your other half is going to sit for all those portraits you plan on painting?

Maybe you should take up mentoring to the slightly less aged, or open up a sex shop, sell novelties and trade bawdy stories of when you were young. Or you can buy out the owner of Gbooks and settle into a life of sampling every brand of poppers available.

It ain't the font SIZE, Heartface, it's the colour.

If it were black it would be totally legible. But it is grey. Like a pair of fifteen year-old tighty whities.

That makes it hard to read.

So you are not a size-queen. You are a dinge queen.

Hey Bud - Here's another old fart (49) who reads your blog. I want you to google "lasik disaster" before you consider doing it. I had it done and it isn't always the walk in the park you might think it is. Many people have loved it but there are a lot of folks who've had problems. Besides, your cute mug would look good in glasses.

Ctrl and + increases the text size also.

Flexible Spending Account, you can at least get Lasik pretax.
