Palm Springs Get Together. Would you attend?
+ purplekow replied to + purplekow's topic in The Lounge
There does seem to be sufficient interest. I will begin preliminary investigation to the possibility of doing this. My house seems too small for this kind of event and so I am looking into some sites with a pool that might host such an event. I have checked giggster.com and there do seem to be houses which can be rented by the hour. Once Pride is done here in Palm Springs, I will look into this further. for example this house: https://giggster.com/listing/midcentury-modern-house-with-rat-pack-vibes -
Always good to have your machine checked against a manual BP. I used to encourage my patients to bring in their home BP cuff and check the BP measurements at the one visit making sue they were relaitvely close.

Blood pressure readings can vary widely and the proper way to take it for the most accurate reading is at rest for 5 minutes at least, seated with both feet on the ground and with an appropriate size cuff. The blood pressure should be taken once and then repeated every few minutes until there are two readings with the systolic BP (upper number) of the readings being withing 10 and the diastolic (lower number) within 5. This is much more involved than blood pressure readings usually are. There are so many factors which can cause tranient elevations and decreases in BP and as a result improperly taken BP as a single reading is likely to be minimally useful.

In the past, I have used my childhood phone number with an exchange as my password. It was useless information that was repurposed and did not require a great memory to recall. For awhile I added special characters at the end but that did start to be problematic in recall which ones I used and how many. In the past I also used the letters in the phone numbers of some import to make a word which made it easier to recall the number. Now mnemonics and other devices to recall information is essentially obsolete.

My brother a diabetic who needed to lose weight was fine until 7.5 and then the shit hit the fan and everywhere else. He could not leave his house for more than two weeks and he was off the medication for another month. In that time he regained the 30 pounds he had lost. He restarted at 2.5 and is now on 5 mg. He does not intend to go higher as his HgbA1C is under 6.7 and he has not had a recurrence of the diarrhea. He has lost about 50 pounds off of a 270 pound frame over the last 7 months. To be totally open about it, in that same time he was diagnosed with lung cancer, had curative surgery but he has been unable to exercise to any extent, so his weight loss is strictly due to diet changes. His lack of recovery of muscle tone after the surgery could be due to the medication.

Without knowing who suggested the bath house in the first place, it is hard to call the provider a scam artist. In addition, even if it was the provider, the OP could have said no. The OP states that he felt uncomfortable with the first room and asked to change it. So the provider was willing, at least initially, to provide some service. This happened before the OP sent the fee and at this point he had several options. However, it seems the OP's anxiety spiraled and the provider did not do anything to make the situation better. The entire "I am a cop and my cousin is downstairs and he is also a cop" definitely sounds like a gaslighting. The escort apparently took advantage of the OP's anxiety. So I would say that the OP has to take responsibility for placing himself in a situation that he knew had the potential to make him uncomfortable and once he was uncomfortable he did very little to end the situation. The escort on the other hand, may not have intended initially to gaslight the OP, but once he did, he was sadistic in exploiting him. I think either the OP or the provider should have had a Moonstruck moment. (with or without the slap)

Palm Springs Get Together. Would you attend?
+ purplekow replied to + purplekow's topic in The Lounge
IF this happens, it will be to give closure to the years this event has taken place and it will give those who have attended the chance to catch up and make for future arrangements. Anyone is welcome to arrange a similar or similarly based event in LA or any other city. Several years of events took place in DC using MAL with moderate success. That being said, I hope that new people will come this year. Once I hear that there is sufficient interest, 20 to 25 people who will likely attend, then I will look into what it would take to make this event work. Oliver will be present and I am sure he will add insights that have allowed this to be a success over the 20 0dd years of this event. So far, ten people have answered in the affirmative and I expect more will be forthcoming. -
Would you allow a client to tickle you?
+ purplekow replied to knismophile's topic in Questions About Hiring
Nate, stop is not a reason to stop tickling. Almost everyone says stop when they are being tickled. Perhaps a safe word like STOPITASSHOLE would work better. -
It seems Oliver will be in Palm Springs for only a short time this year and as such, he is not going to be hosting the yearly get together. I have some ideas as to how to continue this tradition but I will only begin to look into the feasibility of such an undertaking if there is sufficient interest in attending. So, if you believe it is highly likely you would attend a get together for the weekend of April 9 to 13, please answer in this thread. Once again, thanks to Oliver for many years of hard party planning.
-
It appears to be the end of an era. This saddens me but it is understandable that all good things come to an end. I think we all need to thank Oliver for all his hard work. I do raise the issue that if there were to be a weekend such as we have had in the past, how many people are willing to attend. I have several ideas as to how this tradition could be continued. Different but with the same feeling about it, but it would require quite a bit of work and time and if there is not sufficient interest, I would not even beging to look into how to do it. I will start another thread asking for likely attendees.

A hire goes over the deep end - and tries to take you along
+ purplekow replied to NipLuvr212's topic in The Lounge
I might have contacted him when you found he was making the presentation. It would have been an excellent time to either ask him to pay you back so you could make a donation to real charity and not one such as the one he concocted for himself. I would have mentioned that his hard work has worked out, but there is no free ride. I would also advise him that if he made a donation to a specified charity, he could sent you the receipt and he could take the tax benefit. What this young man was deceitful and a few tears at a McDonald's is not enough. In addition, his grandfather likely could have given him the money. If he did not ask there or did not receive it there, there was likely a good reason. Given his aunt's response, it seems likely that he had pulled other scams. It is fine that you are fine with the outcome, but I would only feel okay if he did indeed pay back the money either to me or pay it forward to a charity. Going to the meeting to meet him face to face would have been my option if he did not agree to a charitable recompensation. But hey, I am Sicilian, so my credo is similar to Don Corleone. (lion heart for those that never gave it much thought). -
His impact here and on the people who post here is obvious in the loving way people still speak of him. I know he was a great freind to you and many on the forum.

The Invisible Survivors: Long-Term AIDS Crisis Veterans
+ purplekow replied to CheckCar's topic in The Lounge
Not taking Biktarvy is a dangerous solution as even missing a few doses may decrease effectiveness and allow for mutation which may lead it to being ineffective against his strain of the virus. I understand that there are financial constraints but he should discuss with his physician the better alternative whether that be not taking any medication or taking a different less expensive choice. Please suggest that he not handle this delicate balance of medication without guidance from his physician. At the very least, have him google is it dangerous to miss a Biktarvy dose and he will get quite a bit information regarding why it is potentially dangerous. -
The Invisible Survivors: Long-Term AIDS Crisis Veterans
+ purplekow replied to CheckCar's topic in The Lounge
As a physician who worked at St Vincent's in Greenwich Village from 1976 until 1979 and who opened in 1982, in a nearby suburb of NYC, an office which offered free service to HIV patients, mostly from Manhattan, who had nowhere else to go, the toll was devastating on everyone who was involved. I worked in that office until 1988. In 1988, a powerful physician in the area had a son who contracted HIV related to his hemophilia and that led the hospital to add an HIV clinic. Up until I retired one year ago, I was still diagnosing new cases of HIV and still having difficulty finding appropriate care for newly diagnosed. The long tern survivors are a great resource for the newly diagnosed and in many cases, they know the ins and outs of the HIV medical care system better than the people running it. All one has to do to realize that HIV is not a thing of the past or a chronic disease that can always be managed is to go to the intake area of a local HIV facility. One look at Scruff or Tinder and the number pf profiles that list undetectable as a status is remarkable and it is also a warning to those of us who remain negative. Prep is only effective if you take it without fail. Those of us who are negative need to take care to stay that way. We need to disabuse the concept that becoming positive and then just taking the medication is a reasonable option. Yes, I have seen newly diagnosed patients who were "bug chasers". Social support, emotional support and financial support is needed for all those dealing with this scurge. Just because it does not make the headlines very often if at all these days, does not mean the problem has disappeared. -

Linda Lavind's character dies. Lupone comes out for the funeral as her estranged sister looking for an inheritance. When there is none she refuses to leave the guest room. Just as sassy and just as stereotypically Jewish but an aunt rather than a mother. Down the road it can come out that LuPone is actually his mother as she got pregnant at a young age and her sister took in the child and they agreed that she was his "mother". For a bit of a twist, LuPone is divorced and now living as a lesbian.

71. I thought it would be higher but I have a variety of tastes and vanilla is one I like as well.

The general twist I saw coming, the particular persons involved, I did not, nor were there clues to exactly who it was. I have bing watched the first three seasons over the last 4 days and I am looking forward to Season 4. I am sorry they are making me dislike my favorite character, though the British Spy love interest is very hot, they had every opportunity to give use some nice r ated nudity with him and they disappointed. I did not need to see the Prime Minister fucking his wife though her emotionlessly droning "more vigorous" was pretty funny. I know they have a Season 4 coming up.

Boots- new series on Netflix
+ purplekow replied to + SirBillybob's topic in TV and Streaming services
Lots of nice ass shots in the shower. I also liked the man he served with prior to coming to be a DI. Beautiful hairy chest and a great ass. -
only murders in the building (hulu)
+ purplekow replied to samhexum's topic in TV and Streaming services
He told me it was 765 per month. But I would need to check that. It was up near Colombia University. I was there once or twice and it was a nice space but I would definitely need a larger space in addition, perhaps to keep this place as a second home. -
I have had several encounters of longer duration and it is true that other men will see a handsome man in a hot tub, at a restaurant, at the gym, on a train, at a play or movie, or in any other circumstance and they will will flirt with him. A professional escort likely deals with this kind of flirtation frequently, but as the client, it may be a bit unsettling or upsetting. The escort should know how to handle this situation but if he does not do so to your satisfaction, you can simply tell him. Something to the effect that you realize that he gets attention from men, but for the time he is with you, you prefer that the attention he pays to other men be limited to a brief thank you. I for one though, find it a bit exciting to see men try to engage the man with whom I am leaving. One one occasion, that turned into a very pleasant three way after I gave the escort the go ahead to make that arrangement. To answer the question, if I felt like a third wheel, the answer is a resounding no, thanks to a great escort and my own animal magnetism. :LOL

That is the opposite of my experience. I can find something in common with almost every escort (any person) I meet. If I am hiring them for sex, I want more than a hard dick or an open orifice. Most of the escorts I hire are intelligent, accomplished individuals who have travelled widely and met many different types of men along the way. They have amusing stories to tell and have interesting back stories. If you cannot or care not to find anything in common with that, you must be a fairly distant individual. If all you want is a quick fuck, there are many less expensive ways to do it than having an escort who you do not care to know just a little bit about at your beckon call. . But I assume that many escorts who you might hire would be just as happy not to know anything about you except if you brought the cash.

Why are some clients saying “I only pay in cash”, when…
+ purplekow replied to JB_Studio38's topic in The Lounge
I will minimize the details in this story rather than explain the whys and wherefores. I received a call from a friend at 5AM on a Saturday AM that her nephew was in jail and she needed a help to bail him out. She came to my home and I asked her if she had enough money and she said about $500 dollars. Knowing this was not enough, I took a box out of my freezer than had about $100000 dollars in 100 dollar bills in it and off we went. When we got to the jail, bail was $25000 dollars. She was aghast and I told her I had it. We still laugh about this. We went back to my car and counted out the money and went back inside. The police were curious why we had that much cash and I said casino winnings so they called out someone to count it. They checked each bill. The first bill was counterfeit as was the second. I imagined myself going to jail, but the rest were all good. Strangely, they gave me back to two counterfeit bills rather than holding them. Two days later, I went to the bank and made a substantial deposit with the two "counterfeits" in there. They were not picked out. As I had gotten the bills from the bank initially, I felt no compunction about giving them back to that same bank. Perhaps they were not counterfeit at all. -
So have the Bills won a game in the new uniforms? My only problem with the uniforms is that they are not right enough over the ass and crotch. You can not even glimpse Allen's ass crack nor his package. Come on, no one really watches football for the game, it is for the hot guys in tight uniforms, fantasy leagues and gambling. I used to live in Buffalo. My question is, when it was suggested that downtown Buffalo would have been a better location, I wondered if the speaker had ever been there.
