  1. I noticed his face seems to change from reasonably good looking to not good looking at all. Nice body only wish I could see him from a position where all I saw was the back of his head.
  2. Sleep apnea is a common medical condition which can be classified as Central Sleep Apnea or Obstructive Peripheral Sleep Apnea (OSA). OSA is much more common although one can have a mixed picture. The risk factors for OSA include a neck greater than 18.5 inches in diameter, obesity, smoking, enlarged adenoids and a severe overbite. One can suspect OSA by symptoms such as loud snoring, daytime drowsiness, inability to concentrate or witnessed stoppage of breathing while asleep. A simple questionair the Epworth Sleepiness Scale has a series of questions with a selection of answers. After taking this brief test, a score of over 13 indicates that there is a possibility of OSA. OSA is not something that should be ignored. An overnight sleep study either in a sleep center or one of a selection of good quality home tests done under a doctor's guidance will determine if you have sleep apnea, how severe it is and will lead to distinguishing which type of sleep apnea predominates. CPAP is the quick fix. It can be difficult to get used to, but even 4 hours a night of use can reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, sudden death and hypertension that go along with OSA. Most people tend to either adjust to it quickly, or give up, but with persistence, most people can get accustomed to it. Long term, weight loss can make a big difference and it does not have to be massive weight loss. As little as 10 to 15 pound weight loss can diminish symptoms greatly. Smoking cessation will of course benefit you in many ways and decrease in OSA is just one of them. Enlarged adenoids and tonsils can be removed and can give significant relief. Inspire is an implanted device that stimulates you to breath when is is noted that you are not doing so. These are just a few of the basic facts about OSA. There is lots of information on line. IF you think you or someone you know may have OSA, take the Epworth test. It takes about 2 minutes and it can confirm whether you should be concerned or not. Honesty in taking the test is of utmost import.
  3. I believe that should be a rump roast unless the term butt roast is used in Buffalo, but it was not used when I lived there. In any case or deli case, the reference is to the selection of meats and or meets and was an original part of the HooBoy years.
  4. Good for you for still having it. Tie tacks are the kind of item that gets lost very easily. You must value it greatly to have mnaged to not drop it, leave it in a tie and forget about it, put it in a pocket and leave it there, put it on a bureau and have it fall behind it or any one of a dozen other mishaps.
  5. As to Its a Small World, it is played continuously by the ride of the same name at Disney World and then repeats for at least 24 hours continuously in the head of all that ride that ride
  6. Tie tack or tie clip? Does anyone use them anymore?
  7. Zac from in wrestling trunks all buffed up and sweaty. What more do you need for 90 minutes?
  8. Enjoyed the season. Looking forward to how they resolve the cliffhanger or rather the dirt loss.
  9. It really depends on your finances. I just went for a casual dinner at Outback Steakhouse. Nothing fancy and I was by myself. Wound up costing $75 without alcohol. So, figure out if this person is a one dinner two dinner or 5 dinner friend and calculate accordingly based on your budget
  10. He can be an angel and he can be a devil, strangely enough he can be both at the same time.
  11. Like some great sex, a great pun causes you to groan gutterally and yet be delighted to have the experience. I am sorry that the relish pun just did not meet that standard.
  12. My father was a barber and when business was not so good, the family ate quite a bit of spaghetti. Sometimes we would have is 6 or 7 times in a week. For variation, the topping would change. Spaghetti and tomato sauce, with chick peas, with butter, with lima beans, with cauliflower and fried bread crumbs, with peas and my least favorite, with lentils might all be on the menu in a week. Certainly spaghetti and meatballs was the inspiration for spaghetti and chili, The chili after all is not much more than chopped meat and a tomato based sauce. The cheddar piled as high as depicted in the photograph above, is a bit much, but it is really just a poor man's Ptarmigan. With that said, I would willingly eat any of the combinations I mentioned from my childhood, while I would not touch that Ohio offering. Also SamHexum, tube-iquitous is more of a portmanteau than a pun. The relish statement is a pun, but in reality, it is not a good pun.

    HPV

    Geez, your tight tight phrasing is a wonder to behold and in truth that tightness got me more than a little excited.

    HPV

    Side effects as listed for medications do not necessarily mean cause and effect. People can report any side effects to the manufacturer when taking medication and if that measures to more than 2% the side effect is listed as possible related. Lesser side effects will also be listed, just not was prominently. HPV is given as two injections between ages 9 and 14 usually 18 months or so apart. If not completed additional vaccinations can be given between ages 15 and 26. If there is immunosuppressive condition, a third vaccination is suggested. After age 26 until age 45, the decision to vaccinate is a decision between doctor and patient. Usually it is considered that a person with prior low exposure who might now, at an older age be more exposed, is someone who is eligible for a vaccine in that age group. There are no recommendations for immunization after the age or 45. If you were to receive it, a physician would be giving the medication off label. If there were a significant reaction, the drug manufacturer would have greater legal protection from liability. Not all physicians are willing to give medications off label, but many do. A physician who deals with sexually active mature adults, such as the physician providing PrEP, would likely be amenable to a discussion of the appropriateness of HPV vaccination for anyone who has a concern about it.
  15. Every now and again I go to a gay bar, usually when I am on vacation. I enjoy people watching and checking out whatever attractive men are there.. I do not expect to pick someone up. In fact, I am fine if no one speaks to me, but usually, someone does and I will have a fun, usually superficial conversation. Certainly I find it more entertaining then heading back to the hotel after dinner. So I am old. I am okay with my looks and my life and I find an occasional night out at a bar checking out men I will never have, enjoyable. I am actually someone you should aspire to be, an old man who has seen better days and also has seen better days than 90% of the younger, fitter gay guys at that bar will ever see. When I leave the bar, almost always alone, I head back to a life I am happy to have.
  16. Now explain to him what writing is.
  17. Fred what to me was a valid explanation. Most hiring sites have functions that allow the client to limit the qualities such as height, weight and age. While all of these things are fixed data, weight may vary. And two men of 35 may appear 20 years apart. He therefore feels that if he looks 35 he will lose clients that would be very happy with his appearance should he list as 50. As long as the pictures are recent, I do not care how old the provider is. Of course, I only hire 30 and above, as that is where my sweet spot is.
  18. It is a foolish question. I would have written back saying that I was planning not shopping for now but that question took him out of my plans. If he responded I would not have continued the conversation unless the reply was an apology of some sort.
  19. First off, they have amazingly long fingers. Second, their movements on the bench are very sexual and I was envisioning a movie in which they are not brothers and they have a long passionate kiss at the end and then you see them fucking through their reflections on the piano.
  20. I have paid by check. Only to escorts I know well and they have no difficulty accepting it. Usually it is as a result of my not having had time to go to the bank. I usually add a bit of a service fee to their fee for the inconvenience, but it really does not seem to bother them. At this point in my life, I am not concerned about the paper trail.
  21. If you mean passive top, active bottom to be the insertive partner is lying back and the receptive partner lowers himself down and then does most of the pounding and thrusting, then I am passive top. However, once I am feeling the need for speed, I am mo longer quite so passive, although these days it is difficult to get up from that recumbent position so it is mostly thrusting from below.
  22. You can heed good advice or not (in regard to the Shakespeare quote). In my case, I have never regretted refusing to lend someone money. I have on occasion lent money that was more than I would want to lose but the situation was such that I was confident I would get it back. In the three cases of which I am thinking I got the money back, only after having to ask for it several times. That did leave me regretting ever having lent the money to start.
  23. As usual, a joy to spend much of my PS time with Danny. I just wish I was there for a longer time.
  24. Finally back on the East Coast and now the decision to be made is whether or not to put a bid in on one of the two houses that I saw and liked. I will need to make a quick decision and I am 50 50 on it right now. Thanks to Oliver and David and the whole Palm Springs crew for all their work and hospitality.
  25. I have been assuming that the money difference is such that the choice is yes at a lower price or no at the requested one because of financial limitations. Asking is not insulting to my mind. And as you point out in your post, you will consider alternative pricing for your own reasons, in your case to get content with a hot guy. Other may have different reasons and you do not know until you ask. Again I am not a Marvin Hagler, but I would not be insulted by one.
