Negative much to the surprise of everyone. Yeah they wanted to rush me off to another hospital by ambulance for emergency CABG. Woke me up to tell me that. Needless to say I was not pleased when they told me what was happening. I asked them if they could fix it at the hospital I was at. They said only if I was having chest pain. I said "well I guess I am having chest pain" I was not. took two stents to control it as it continued to dissect distally after the first one. No chest pain then nor since.

As some of you know, about 3.5 years ago, I had an elective cardiac catheterization. Good news is they found no significant heart disease. Bad news, is they dissected the prominal left anterior descending artery and nearly killed me, While I was told that the stents to repair this were fine and I did not have a heart attack, I still have a stents in place. For those of the medical persuasion I had 5 to 7 mm ST elevation across the precordium which translated to non permanent injury to the left venticle. So, after a few days in the hospital, I went to cardiac rehab and did fine, I was able to easily complete the 6 minute walk and was started on a regimen to increase my cardiac fitness, I started slow and progressed well until 6 months later, I returned to full time work. Making a major error, I went back to work and stopped the exercise, Soon after, I was let go from that job in a downsizing and 6 months later I started another job. All that time and I did not much but mope around the house. The medications which were started just slowed me to a crawl and I had no energy for anything, Over the last six months my level of fitness has dropped to an all time low for me. So, today I started to exercise again. My level of fitness is an abomination. I was able to walk about 1/2 mile on flat ground while getting winded and with leg pain. One of the meds I am taking has been causing me to be short of breath since I started it and the cardiologist suggested I "just deal with it" Anyway, 1/2 mile, winded and cramps in the legs. For those suggesting medical testing, been there, done that, bought the tee shirt. Started dieting again a week ago and doing well with that so far. I was wondering if there are any others out there who have been in the worst shape of their life and managed to get back to some level of fitness. I am certainly not giving up after one day. I have made a plan for daily walks starting at the 1/2 mild mark to be expanded once I can complete it without the shortness of breath and the leg pain.

Just tp be clear, what you think is true and what is a fact are two different things. It may be your preference, but preferences change. Marilyn Monroe was a size 12. In the fifties she was the definition of sexy, today, a size twelve woman is considered large. IF it can change, it is an opinion or a preference. Your statement that it is a fact is the issue, not your preference. It is my opinion that people who categorically think people who are fat and hairy are ugly are body shaming assholes. IT is a fact that I think it, it is an opinion that they are assholes.

Well possibly he was taking sex for pay, but the expression "I am here for all your needs" or some such similar phrasing is common among bellmen. Consider, if it had been a bellwoman and she said the same exact phrase the same exact way, would you have considered it a come on. If the answer is no, then it probably was just service as usual and wishful thinking. If the answer is yes, then, you blew it and he didn't.

Netflix Tales Of The City Series...
+ purplekow replied to LoveNDino's topic in TV and Streaming services
They have six episodes and while I remembers most of the major plot points, having seen the most recent incarnation recently, I was able to piece in some details that had faded. For example, I did not realize that Norman the detective was working for Mona's mom and Mrs. Madrigal's ex. -
For the readers of Daddy's reviews, there is a posted default suggesting that Daddy is likely in the hospital. I do not have a way of personally contacting Daddy, but I do wish him well IF he is indeed in the hospital. If there are those with means of contacting Daddy personally, please let us know if there is anything we can do to help IF he is indeed ill.

Is getting catfished by a provider ever ok??
+ purplekow replied to Methodic98's topic in Spas & Masseurs
If I were to have had this experience, I would say exactly what you said here. Something like: I had a great time with him. He was easy to contact and making arrangements was quite easy. When I got to his place and he opened the door, I was surprised to see someone much more handsome than the pictures he had sent. In fact, the pictures were not his but as he explained they are representative of him without revealing his true identity. If this decpetion bothers you, you should probably skip him, but if you go in knowing this and giive him a chance, you will have a great experience and will easily overlook the photo switch, as I have. Thereby giving a great review and a warning at the same time. If I saw this review, I would still hire him if I was attracted to the photos even knowing that the person I am going to see is not that person.. Others might not but they may lose out on a great experience otherwise. -
When I opened a walk in medical facilty 25 years ago, my sister and my niece told me that they went to their local walk in due to the handsome doctor there. After that, I always tried to hire handsome men, who were congenial and of course qualified. Though the years I was successful in hiring several and I was geneerous in my payments so as to keep them in the fold. The ancillary staff would frequently comment on the stable of regulars certain of the doctors were attracting.

I was just flipping through and saw that a new version of Big Brother is on the air. I guess it is three or four episodes in already. I took the time to check out the stud and shirtless factors. Seems there are quite a few well built young men who have no difficulty strutting the stuff shirtless. I did not stay around long enoug to put the names to memory, but it does seem it is worth a brief perusal for those of us who like nicely put together twenty somethings.

If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a sexy realtor your vice; so my personal point of view, get an ugly realtor to look for you.

You know Ralph and Ed decide that perhaps they need to expand their sexual horizons as Trixie and Alice do not even want to sleep in the same bed with their husbands. They start to put together a Grindr profile for the both of them. Hilarity ensues.

Just a coincidence, for medical school graduation show, we did a version of the Honeymooners as well. Perhaps we can do a version in Palm Springs. I did have the lead and even did a song. It went over extremely well as did many of the other skits.

How thin is your skin that you a wounded by Loser. I would think that would be on the lower end of that scale of insults that have been thrown in your direction. Anyone's direction. Toxic bullies however, rolls off your keyboard. Interesting dichotomy.

I think in a way this site is a lot less contentious but as a result, a bit less entertaining than it used to be. I still enjoy coming to the site daily, but apart from the political section, it is more an old man's pastime than an active sport. Sure courteousness and politeness are appreciated, but every now and again a claw bearing cat fight can be entertaining. While I am sure that there are those who enjoy the large number of photos posted, I have mentioned in the past that for me, it is too much of a good thing. I think many come, look at the photos and go. It seems the new postings are generally posted by the same few people and the diversity of responders is less. These seem to be major changes. Still, I do enjoy my daily visit. Sometimes several visits in a day, if a particular thread is getting a influx of thoughtful posts, rather than the +1 or me too that sometimes dominate. As to posters who have left the scene, I miss Rick Munroe's dry humor.

He was quite the character.

Netflix Tales Of The City Series...
+ purplekow replied to LoveNDino's topic in TV and Streaming services
Mona's death was mentioned peripherally in this showing. Although Mona was a main character, her mention and that of other characters such as Beacham, was in keeping with how people are brought up in conversation when they have past and all the people in the conversation are familiar with them. I suppose they could have summarized Mona's relationship with Anna and how they were disenfranchised and then came back together, but if the viewer was unfamiliar with that, it would probably have little dramatic impact in the retelling. -
As opposed to the trump tax break pushers?

It is hard to believe that there is not a universal plan when stuff like this happens.

I do not believe there is such a thing anymore.

If you enjoy Micah Stock you need to watch Bonding. Fun show and he brings a lot to what in other hands may have been a throwaway role. -

Yes that flashback episode was heartbreaking and revelatory. It was the best episode of the series and in the final episode when you see the young Anna in Grand Central Station, well a not so subtle foreshadow. -

Nothing is the same as it was then, but it as in life, it has a new and different interest with a melancholy shadow of things past. I mostly liked it. -
But he does not have public squabbles over dinner, so there is plenty to like.

Definitely a sexy intelligent man. I would recommend hiring him if he is to your liking. I have had several meetings with him and for the most part, they were positive and some were excellent.
