Bears Who Hate Bush
If anyone's interested, I run a lively little Yahoo Group by the above name. Nominally it's for the Bear crowd because that's what I identify with, but I don't care who joins. It's smallish, usually around 300+ members, and very active. We have a lot of good people, a few of whom are on DU also, I believe.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bearswhohatebush/

The group is classified as "Adult," and there's a little male nudity in the Photos section, Members' folder, so if that offends you, then don't go in there. We also have a ton of political artwork in the files and photos section. Generally, the tone is serious and pissed off, a lot like here. All are welcome.

Dirk

2. Me too!
Even though I'm not so much a bear any more. More of a sissy with a beard.

5. Hi Pagerbear
I don't think we've ever said hi before, but it's nice to get together here in the new forum (you're quite the Lounge Personality, ya know?).

So you "used to be" a bear? Lose a lot of weight?

It sounds like a good group. However, I'm not going to be upset if there are pics of cute bears, as well. :-)

Just kidding. I'm glad you joined. I think a number of people got depressed and left.

My boyfriend wouldn't like it if I were SERIOUSLY flirting with you, sweetie. :-)

But if you have a body like that...your man is lucky. Besides having such a warm, caring guy in his life.

35. A friend of mine owns "Bears Lycra Speedos"
For the swimsuit purist! I used to belong to Underbears, but some time back I cut way down on the number of Yahoo groups I was in. Too many to keep up with, way to much pornmail coming in.

37. Oh yes...
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BearsLycraSpeedos/

It's seriously for lovers of big men. The motto is:

"We like our men like we like our peanut butter: CHUNKY!"

You can see quite a bit of me there, if you look in the right places. :P

Dave, the owner, is a great and brilliant man, now in Boston, a very socially conscious guy who's worked in affordable housing and community development forever. And a *very* sexy man.

Man, there are some real hunks in there...some nice bears in the teeniest of Speedos. One in particular wearing a wet pair of blue Speedos...YUM.

Thanks for the link, Terran. Give me some clues as to where I can find you in the group. :-)

27. Strange Hobby
Seeking out and going to the high point of a particular place (State, County, National Park), etc. Interesting way to get out and see the country.

30. Oh, doesn't sound strange to me.
I think I'd enjoy that. You should climb Mt. Tamalpais in the Bay Area--that's an astonishing view.

HP of Marin County - beautiful view of Bay Area. Mt. Diablo (Contra Costa County HP) is also a great view.

Like, the link didn't work? The group itself is auto-join. You do have to have a Yahoo ID set up to access the web site features, I believe.

Not that I'm criticizing or anything. I'm a Scorpio, and therefore fated to be a slut also.

<pats head> We were all cubs once. :)

Seriously, no discrimination here. I think most of the active members are middle-agers like me, so we could use more of the youngins' viewpoints.

There is a Members' folder in the Photos section, you can upload a picture there if you want. You have to have a Yahoo ID set up to access that feature though.

52. woof!
That's about all I can say while keeping it PG-13, ya know.

I'm just an average looking middle-age gay guy that loves his daddybear (18 years together). I loves the bears!

Woofers again Terran you sweetie. I can look and flirt too, but that's all. And I'll let my daddybear look and flirt as well, but anything else and it's grrrrrr.... for the both of us! Damn you're cute!

Hi vajraroshana--thanks very much for the compliment. Understood about the flirting--that's about the extent of what goes on outside my 18 year relationship too!
