Kurtis, although you did not read my rather eloquently stated talking point, you nailed the answer. I guess you are just a good nailer.

I recently saw Boys in the Band and it struck me that most of the characters, though they were purportedly friends, really did not like each other. Even at the end, there is an encounter between the two characters who have been the most vile to each other in which one is leaving (with the hot escort who was brought as a $20 birthday present) and he says to the other after a particularly vilifying final attack: "i will call you tomorrow" I have a friend who I have known for 50 years. He has been someone I can rely on to help out if I need it. I would certainly help him out in any way I could should he need my assistance. Lately though, time spent with him is getting more and more onerous. I have gotten to the point that I am not sure that I really like him, though I would still call him my closest friend. Any thoughts?

I believe the most expensive meal I have had for two without wine or other alcohol was $800. Grated Black truffles were an unnecessary indulgence.

Sometimes more is more and sometimes more is less. I leave it to the reader to decide which is which in this case.

Obviously we have never met otherwise you may be speaking out of the other side of your ugly old man to be. Artificial intelligence is artificial and while it may be more intelligent than the intelligence that put it together, it is obvious to anyone with real intelligence that the information that goes in determining what is good looking is based on statistics and subjective data and not on facts. So AI may identify who is good looking by the criteria it is given, but as there is nothing that is 100% good looking, its identification is based on limited and subjective date. Subjective in, subjective out. I would agree that AI is able to measure who best matches the criterion that is used to determine good looks. I would also agree that there are measures which would suggest that there are indeed facial geometric determinations which would increase the likelihood of AI being correct in determining if someone is good looking or not. But the very definition of good, defines it as subjective. Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is the best. By the way, if artificial intelligence or any intelligence could definitively say who is good looking, we would have a know percentage of good looking people.

Symmetric posts.

Granted there have been studies which show across ethnic lines facial symmetry is considered good looking and the more symmetric the face, the better looking an individual is considered to be by the population as a whole. That however does not mean that good looks are not subjective. Individuals can and do have preferences which are well outside the societal mean. So your good looking may be my meh!

Many body builders are in contest shape and then they are not. Some stay in contest shape all the time whether they are actually competing or not. Some of this may hae to do with steroid use but not necessarily. So if you want to ask, you probably should ask are you in competition shape or not.

No I prefer to see UU Unbelievably Ugly. Lets me know that he appreciates my aesthetic.

Working with many persons with dementia and psychiatric issues for the long term, I have seen disasters befall people who were in your situation. When there is no one to say stop, the obligation is to do everything. In NJ. You need to have a POLST (Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment) which designates your desires and names your representative. While it is a good plan to have someone as a back up, having two people with the decision making power is opening up a can of worms for a potential controversy as to whose decision is the ultimate decision. So please name one person. And name a backup not a codecider. Make it clear to that person what your end of life wishes are. Fill out a POLST and make sure you have it with you so that treatment is not started against your wishes. Be careful with a power of attorney however, as I have seen legal battles over the fitness to decision make between the patient and their named representative. This has been the case several times when there is a partner and a child and the child is given the POA and the partner is left out in the lurch. The Power of Attorney does insure an easy transition of financial decision making but again, make sure the person who is given that power will always have your best interests at heart. In one case with which I am dealing now, a child with a drug problem which was in remission was given the POA and then a few years later, after a relapse of the drug problem, the change to another POA was not made. Disaster has ensued. Good luck with the MS. I am glad you can tolerate steroids. I was on Prednisone for 4 days and had to stop as a result of side effects. Stay healthy. Make good decisions. Do not be afraid of difficult conversations which discuss unpleasant realities.

I already am working on some numbers for a new attempt at King Kong The Musical. Show stopper would be: I want to Monkey Around with You. Big Dance Number Skull Island Bossa Nova. With tribal tones and smoking volcano in the background a troupe of monkeys does a lively dance to bossa nova beat. Lots of rhythmic drums and animal screeches but no words except except a distant chanting of Kong....King Kong....shut your mouth....but, I'm taking about Kong.....then we can dig it I Want To Monkey Around with You Some say too hairy Some say too tall I say there's nary A thing wrong at all Its him keeps me warm With his animal charm It him keeps me calm When I sit in his palm And this is what I'm feeling It's this that is true No lover sets me reeling Like when I Monkey Around with You. When it comes lovers Human or simian I pray to the big guy To Please gimme gimme him His breath like bananas Picked fresh from the tree His grunts are cantanas Volcanic and free Who knew that Skull Island Would have such a catch And now he's come to my land To complete karma's match Oh climb the tallest buildings Run through the street Swat down a copter Crush people with your feet Take machine gun fire To your hairy chest Just get yourself to my place Let love do the rest Cause there is no way to fight it And really there is no use Cause god my bod's delighted When I Monkey Around with You. Some say unnatural Some say depraved Some just caterwahl And scream vile names Some want you captured Some want you dead But only I've been enraptured and taken to you bed So they cannot know They cannot see its true That our love's truly special I want to Monkey Around with you. One more time.....I said I want to Monkey....I want to Monkey around....I want to Monkey around with.....................Big hairy wonderfully simian......youuuuuuuu. Any Angels out there?

As I recall: Greatness. Great mess.

Where can one find this classic film? What is the name?

I have two labs and a mutt who people say looks like a pit bull. The black lab is the one that barks and scares people, though he is very sweet. The mutt is also noisy when people come to the door but she would likely lick any intruders into submission. All in all. people are afraid of the black dog and people are afraid of the "pit mutt" but Bonehead, the yellow lab gets a pass on everything, but they are equally friendly.

Thank you all of you for your good wishes. I wish I could thank each of you personally but my knees couldn't stand the strain.

Obviously that is a self delusion. Doesn't he have friends. A brother, father or uncle. One can develop an emotional attachment to a dog, a cat, a book, a blanket. He may want to believe that he would not develop the kind of emotional bond with a man that is usually considered the purview of opposite sex couples, but the human mind and the human heart are too capricious to be tied to that rule.

Next time you are there you might start out with: If you don't mind my asking you a question...I am looking to hire a personal trainer and I was wondering if you could suggest one because you seem to be in great shape. As he is certified, as you learned from your snooping, he may offer his services, for a fee. If not, follow up by asking which gym he would recommend for an old geezer like you. Tell him you might be uncomfortable in a gym full of youngsters. If he tries to contradict you, you may have a shot. If he just lets you demean yourself without coming to your assistance, then keep the eye candy and keep your eyes open for another bartender and another big piece of beef to eat.

She has been near death a few times. I guess she just sang Think to the Grim Reaper and scared him off.

I also just wrote to Greg and I strongly recommended Vin for the position that Greg seeks. If anyone would want further information, I will be glad to supply it. But as I said in a previous post, there is the body, there is the sexual energy, there is the handsome face, there is the intelligence and there is the basic fabric of a man who makes one feel special just by being in his presence.

I believe, the actual complaint was that he made coffee and never came back. At least that was the intent of the post, I have no desire to try and find my post regarding that. However, there really does not seem to be an equivalence in the issues in either case.

As I stated, I did put one in. Significant concentration is only for away from home.

He said aimlessly" used to be an amusing bit o fluff that I heard in my youth and which stayed with me. Then it became an occasional actual occurrence when I was drunk or tired or just in a hurry. Now this bit of tripe has become a regular part of my life. When I redid my master bath, I put in a urinal so that middle the night pees hit the water not the floor. Nowadays, away from my home field, I find myself needing to really concentrate in order to avoid creating a flood. I dread the next step, the sit down to pee. It just seems terribly inconvenient and for sure there will be a longer wait at crowded events. Who knows what follows that?. I shudder to think.

The what you say is not as important as how you say it. Don't fumble. Don't retract. if you say something that you know was wrong and he calls you on it, just blame him... "You got cum in your ears boy, I said..." Don't make it too fancy, it will only sound forced and funny. Simple declarative sentences with very few adjectives other than in relation to size. "You want my cock?" so so "You want my big cock" better "You want my big cock in your mouth" better still But if you try "You want my massive monster cock in your cum hungry mouth" it will either turn into a tongue twister or it will sound forced. IF you can pull it off, well then you have better skills than I. Less is more, so do not make a whole tory out if. Find a phrase that works, add a few accusatory statements or orders such as "Don't you." "Tell me" "Take it" and of course the ever popular "Squeal like a pig"
