Very wise advice indeed. I had not considered the "love" aspect at all, because if there was "love," it was not the romantic kind. But your point is well-taken, and makes a lot of sense. Thank you for sharing it with me. It is very enlightening, and most definitely helpful.

So he has blocked you on all social media.  Might I suggest from a mental health point of view to get some closure.  Write him an old fashioned letter.  You have been to his home and so ou probably know the address.  Write out whatever it is you want to say.  After it is done.  Rip that first one up and write the second one with all the initial hurt and anger diffused.  Mail it out and forget about it and him.  He may try to contract you and at that point you can make a decision of finality but I would say don't return to the scene of this crime after the closing letter.  

Lie, kind of.  Say, something to the effect that I was really looking forward to meeting you but something urgent came up and I really needed to take care of it.  Is it alright to contact when I have a bit more time.  Thanks for answering so quickly.  

Watched some of the Harry Potter movies on tv and then went to bed.  I took the dogs in and closed the door so that they would not go barking into the backyard through the doggie door which is what would have happened due to the fireworks.  Keep a radio on to drown out the fireworks and feel asleep.  AT 2AM, I woke up and said happy new year to my prostate as I tried to coax a reasonable flow.  It seemed to work.

She will be remembered as one of the most brilliant ground-breaking entertainers ever. Thats Madonna.  
 

 

 

Will she be thought of as ground breaking because by that time she will have had so much surgery she will look as though she rose up from a grave?

Many people who have cosmetic surgery see the "imperfections" that others don't see even if they are pointed out.  They start with small procedures and the small change eliminates one imperfection but highlights another and then so it goes.  Smaller procedures become larger and more surgery ensues.  

There is a place for plastic surgery certainly.  Defects are corrected, lives can be changed, function can be restored but cosmetic surgery to me is a hope for something beyond the physical.  It is an attempt to turn back the clock which is an illusion even when cosmetically successful.

I have a provider that I see at least monthly and we are on friendly terms.  I am pretty new (about 8 months) to hiring for erotic massages, but I love massage and after putting it off for a long time, took the plunge and it has been better than I ever expected.  Our sessions get better every time we meet. 

We will talk about family, activities, etc.  He does not know my actual family situation because I didn't share it as in the beginning this was a business transaction to me.  Now that we are friendly with each other, I am feeling like I should tell him what is real.  I haven't because I am afraid of wrecking things.  Things are still on a business level..I pay and tip him the same as our very first meeting, but I find him to be kind and sincere and consider him a friend and he acts the same toward me.  I'm torn on what I should do here.

Chances are that the provider does not care what your life away from him entails as far as your orientation, or at the least, he does not care about knowing as much as you care about telling.  So when you are ready, tell him what you want him to know.  He has heard it all and it likely does not rub him the wrong the way.  

As far as being out, I was happy in a monogamous heterosexual relationship and as a result, I did not start seeing men until I was almost 50,  It seems that at that age no one really cares with whom you have sex and it may be that some do not believe that sex happens for people over 50. Being widowed, did occasionally raise the question as to whether I would date again or marry again.  I did ty dating again and did not care for it with either sex.   In any case, my situation now is Don't Ask, Don't Tell.  They don't ask and I feel no responsibility to discuss my sex likes with them.  I also do not ask them about their sex life.  To me, it is rude to ask  and it is really none of my business if my friends or relatives are having sex, how often, with whom, in what position.  On the rare occasion that sex comes up in conversation with my friends, it is usually relating funny experiences and long past stories, which have been told numerous times in the past. 

In my office, I do have a gay pride flag that was given out by the hospital years ago and which sits wordlessly on top of a cabinet. If people notice, they do not ask.   A few months ago, while taking photos for a graduation of medical residents, there was a different group taking photos for Gay Pride month and they asked for Gay and Gay Allied persons to join their photo.  I did so.  Again without comment from me or to me.  

So really, at this point, my sex life to others is more. Don't Care and Please Keep it to Yourself.  

They do know each other, at least many of them do.  Three of the m Xavier Frankie and Nicole all played in season 16 I believe.  Savier and Taylor also know each other.  Danielle was the first black contestant to do well though I believe Taylor was the first black female to win.  So they may have relationships outside of BB, so there may be more to the Danielle story than they are saying as to why they felt so bad about her leaving.

Party drugs for a party boy.   To maintain that kind of body, his methamphetamine use must not be overwhelming but one would have to be careful about mood and behavior.  As Robberbaron4u states, one should be careful.

Republican from Illinois.  He was quite the statesman as Sensate Minority leader and had a distinctive rasp to his voice.  I believe there is a memorialized building to him in congress.  

AF he has been as single As Fuck. Amusingly, in this sentence, as fuck means without fuck. 

Some sexy underwear would work if you know his size or his brand.  Add a small gift card to that if you want to do more.

Checked out the full 100 List.  Succession was way too high in my opinion.  There were none on the list that I truly disliked but Jeopardy was very low for a show that is legendary and still going.  

definitely prefer the beefy one to the skinny ripped one.  Very handsome man either way.

Not to mention anyone starring in the long-awaited Karl Malden Story.

I remember him in the TV show with a young hot Michael Douglas.  The Schnoz of San Francisco.  

Would anyone consider doing Cyrano without a prosthetic nose?   Even actors of a bulbous persuasion would opt to enhance this character defining characteristic.  

Libel requires a written or symbolic defamation which is proveably untrue and which causes damage to the reputation of the subject named.  

Slander is a verbal defamation.   So she was correct using slander until she stated that she would contact a lawyer about "what was libeled against me"  

However since her name was never mentioned, there is no chance that she would win if indeed the case ever got to court.  

On the other hand, she may have slandered Hunter Biden IF he is not proven to have influence peddled.   

Quite frankly, Ms. McCain was probably one of less than 100 viewers who even recall  her being on the panel, let alone connected these particular catty dots.  

Unless the statue shows Jesus having a religious experience with Mary Magdalene in exquisite detail, it would seem that this will come down to a freedom of speech issue, if all other local ordinances are met.  

Should Mary Magdalene be on her knees and reciting the 23rd psalm in a sultry way,  a community standards issue will probably stop the construction.  

“For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” Psalm 23:4.   I suppose most of us have been comforted by a rod or a staff.  

He is Just stupid.   Let us move on. 

People have been getting screwed b the Senate for years, this one is just recorded for posterity 

Ketamine also known as the Club Drug Special K was very popular in the early 2000s.  Since I have not stepped into a club since then, unless you count nude parties and strip joints as clubs, I have no idea if it is still popular.

She's been an actress for a very long time. Her 'claim to fame' was back in 1988 when she played the 'young Bette Midler' in the movie 'Beaches'. She got a new following of fans when she co-starred in the CBS sitcom 'Big Bang Theory' (2010-19).

Her main claim to fame before the Big Bang Theory which she was on for 9 years was her starring role as Blossom in the same named comedy series from about 30 years ago in the early 1990s.    She also has an advanced degree I believe in Neuroscience much like her BBT character.

@Rudynate you're a better man than me lol I live in extremes... I eat clean probably 90% of the year but that other 10% almost anything goes and in copious amounts... There's a hotel in Tahiti ( Bora Bora ) that has an outstanding 5 star buffet ( breakfast ) and I go for it! Also @purplekow knows of an awesome sushi place in New Jersey that I also go all out, balls to the wall lol 😂 stuff my face at. Talk about amazing pumps the following day! 🙌🏽💪🏽😎

I've always said that in most places if you smile and ask nicely they will provide food prepared exactly how you need it. 

Surprisingly good all you can eat sushi place that Vin is determined to eat out of business.  

They do seem to interview him more than the others.  An appeal to Ariane Grande fans or perhaps he is just the most interesting person there, which is a sad testament.  

We discussed it, which we would have done beforehand had he mentioned it.
