When I was doing my residency program, I regularly took care of Raymond Patriarca who was the Godfather of the Providence and non-Boston mafia. Mr. Patriarca was facing trial and jail time and as fate would have it, each time his trial date was nigh, he would have chest pain which would land him in the ICU until the trial date was moved. There would very often be very burly men in white coats sitting in the ICU and who did nothing more than sit and look at the doors.

Quite incidently, my grandfather's brother, was Al Capone's second in command and he took over when Capone went to jail. I say there is somewhat of a chance that my grandfather actually killed your grandfather.

My next door neighbor was pictured on the front of an issue of the NY Daily news under the headline he wined her he dined her he killed her. Seems he took his girlfriend out on the then he told the limo driver they were going to have sex in the back of the car and then claimed that he choked her to death during rough sex

A greatThanksgiving to you and your family. it is evident that you are fully appreciative of all the blessings you have been given. Thank you for sharing with us all here and for allowing us to peek in at life for your American family.

Just a strategical hint about crying. I have had the need for a good cry on a regular basis since my wife's passing nigh on 17 years ago. That is a lot of crying and I have found the best place to have that cry is in the shower. You get in the shower, bring the cause of the sadness to the fore. Cry for the length of the shower. Wash your face as you are leaving the shower. No muss nor fuss and if there is anyone around, no evidence. I started doing this when my wife was ill and I did not want to make her feel worse which she would have had she seen me crying. I have suggested this to patients, friends and now here on the board. I found that forcing myself to face those bad feelings, lets me cleanse my mind and soul while I cleanse my body.

Some of us have booked an extra room so do not despair if you are roomless in Palm Springs.

This one is perhaps a bit too easy.http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/03/16/16/3E55366D00000578-0-image-a-107_1489680940620.jpg

I believe that even a non traveler such as myself would suggest that this is Trevi fountain in Rome Of course I am totally ignorant of landmarks and the like so it could be an imitation fountain in Kansas City, the city of Fountains.

I believe you are in error, even that Big Daddy was a gay producer.....Brick after all was more a man's man than a lady's man.

Cynical group here. When I give, which is sometimes, I do so with the expectation that I have no control over what that person may do with the money I give to him nor how much money that person has accrued by this activity, but rather I do it with the expectation that at this particular time and in this particular place, I am feeling a kindness towards another human being who may need my help. On a cold winter night walking in the streets of the NE, I may slip a bill of some denomination into the sleeping bag of a person sleeping on the street with the hope that this may be the dollar or five or ten, that brings this person back. I know some find this naive, I find that the world is frequently a hopeless place and I figure I am not giving away money, I am buying a bit of hope for myself and perhaps the recipient as well.

What is the significance of this? Seems mindlessly esoteric with so many gay actors out there, how is this a thing?

Obviously you write very detailed and accurate index cards. The only thing I have written on my index card about you is, pillow talk, when it enough too much.

Steven, not a surprise. This is evidenced by your inability, in you usual posts, to recall what you wrote in the first sentence by the time you write your last sentence. .

I agree with you but if either or both of the other two hairy guys wanted to join in, I would definitely be up for rock climbing.

I can't even remember the last guy with whom I had sex. It seems to me he had the same name as the POTUS at the time, Abraham.

I saw you as I was walking in the airport the other day. I followed you, watching that great ass move gracefully from side to side in those tight jeans. I almost said hello, then I woke up. Hate falling asleep while waiting for a plane

I hate to say it but the answer could have been yes. Waiting for the perfect anything is likely to leave you with nothing.

My wife and I tried to have children and we ere devastated when we could not have them. When we first started to try she was diagnosed with cervical cancer whivh put the whoe idea on hold. Later, she wanted to try and chemotherapy had put her into premature menopause so she had multiple treatement and finally succeeded in producing eggs. She never produced enough to harvest though her totals eggs were increasing with each cycle. Her cancer returned and put the whole idea on the back burner. After she passed, I was glad that we did not have a child, as it would have been just too much to have a toddler and be a single dad with a career. I would have done it, but I believe it worked out for the best.

Junior have you opted not to come or just do not want to come to the Canyon Club and now have reservations at a more elegant place.

Is that Thailand Thighland or more likely both. Best I can gather it was about 8AM when you posted were you sleepy waking up or sleepy going to bed?

Every event is not for everyone. No one has been held hostage at this event I assume if one went and did not enjoy the company that there are plenty of other things to do in Palm Springs. Good Grief, clearly this is your decision. The party will go on, fun will be had. I assume you will have something fabulous planned for that weekend if you do not attend. So come and have fun or do not come and have fun elsewhere.

Mr Powers is much too subtle than to go in the obvious direction, this opinion gleaned from reading his posts on the forum and sharing time with him in the pursuit of pleasure.

I think Mr. Kessler would have been clearer had he said: Robster always takes his clothes off and then usually jumps in the pool.

JD is that you?

Why in the world not? This is a very inclusive group. Most of us came to our first event knowing no one or at best, knowing an escort or two. After four days around the pool, or at the breakfast buffet or at one of the meals, it has felt like old home week to many of us. I would suggest to write to anyone who has said they have attended and ask about whatever would give you a feeling that you would not be welcomed. What I have found enjoyable about these get togethers is that it is a safe environment to stretch limits, meet new people and eat for free, well at Oliver's anyway, I have not been able to get anyone to pick up my other dinner bills.
