  1. Good Evening with Dudley Moore and Peter Cook
  2. More gun owners die accidentally from their own gun then people who defend themselves by shooting someone else, so chances are he may have already been dead. Deaths in the US years. Guns 50000. knives 1500. so about 150 people a day in US killed with guns, about 5 a day with knives. Fatalities from drunk driving, about 37 per day.
  3. Probably when some one can stand on a rooftop and stab 50 people to death or when 2000 children are stabbed to death, most of them accidentally in any calendar year. Or perhaps when cleaning one's knife one accidentally kills oneself when they thought the blade wasn't sharp. Need I go one? Probably not because all those bullets flying have left gun advocates seaf to the desire of the majority of the people in the US and their gun lobbies continue to buy government officials. The Nation Knife Association does not have that much pull or money.
  4. I guess one could be strapped for cash and wind up being killed by a strapping thief.
  5. This is not a new idea at all. I can remembers hearing of several such places in the 70s and of course, you can get that kind of treatment in any restaurant in NYC.
  6. I agree that it is likely she did not pay anything for it and just as likely that she was paid to walk around with it. American consumers are sheep and so companies feed the lead sheep and slaughter the ones that follow.
  7. Fulfillment of any dream takes a combination of hard work, imagination and a certain degree of luck and also time. . Not all American Dreams are achieved via a free pass to the Ivy League. Some dreams are smaller first steps and need to be realistic for the circumstances into which one is born. So sure, there are those who are lucky enough to be born into favorable circumstances and the chances for success are higher. There are those who are born into financial. emotional or educational poverty to whom achieving the ultimate dream is less attainable. When my grandfather left Europe and came to the US with a dream for success, it took 100 years of work by him, his children and his grandchildren to have demonstrably achieved the American Dream. Still, this Dream has only been achieved to the standard we have set for success. There is no doubt that there are privileged individuals who start with a big lead. There are also exceptionally talented people who rush ahead. There are particularly lucky people who find the key to success on an early try. That does not mean the Dream is only for them. Success is not going to be achieved by all, rather the opportunity for success is there for all with a small number with a big lead and most others trying to inch close step by step and in my case generation by generation.
  8. I received a phone call just after dinner from a well known escort who was dancing at a all female Christmas party and they asked him to dress as Santa. This escort lives several hours from me but the party was only 30 minutes away and he asked if I would like to get together. Having no plans, I said sure. When he arrived, he was wearing the Santa suit from the party. He is 6 foot 3 or so and very muscular and I was surprisingly turned on by the outfit and muscle Santa Needless to say, soon after we started having Christmas cheers, I found out that he enjoyed those on his naughty list and eventually both Santa and I emptied our sacks. By the way, Santa does come more than once a year. Has anyone here enjoyed hosting Santa?
  9. If the American dream is having the ability to establish one's own dream and achieving it, then I have. Lower middle class upbringing though my father did own his own barber shop so perhaps that made us middle middle class. Still, there was no extra money once the mortgage was paid and the family was fed. Scholarships, jobs and loans got me through college and one year working got me debt free. Graduate degree put me back in debt but one year out I was once again debt free. I bought my first new car when I was 25 and saw my father teary eyed when he bought his first new car at age 65. I can still hear him saying: "I never thought I would be able to do this." Though certainly at different economic levels, my father achieved the American dream of doing better than his parents and having his children do better than he did. I feel as though I have continued that dream.
  10. So is this guy hot, Luke warm or cold. His speedo embarrasses his daughter in the commercial. ttps://giphy.com/gifs/MtoLaapiXZNwevbSGl
  11. There is a former male escort working as a roofing estimator in Florida. Making quite a nice amount of money, according to him, sitting at a desk most of the time and he has plenty of time for gym. When he does have to go out to do the estimate, he always wears tight fitting clothes to please the ladies and the gay men and perhaps to stir up some hidden feelings in the "straight men".
  12. Just what everybody wants a drunk guy on their roof with an AK 47. I am not sure who he is trying to attract with this ad. Gy guys would like the eye candy but probably not the politics. I think most women could be quite content with his guns but not the AK$& type. So probably is just a gimmick. If you Want a roof like heaven get an AK 47 cause you gotta have a gimmick.
  13. At 77 years old, Dolly Parton had former Dallas Cowboy quarterback, and quite a nice stud, Tony Romo, drooling over her half time performance. Dolly dressed in a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader uniform sang several of her biggest hits and some other songs during the half time of the Washing Dallas Thanksgiving day football game. Tony Romo, who was the color analyst for the game, had a definite leer in his voice as he wide-eyedly commented about the show after the performance. Dolly and the favorable camera angles which had her looking decades younger, made the show memorable. If one watched carefully, you might note her holding onto half walls for support and there was an occasional angle that suggested that her real age, but all in all, Dolly and the girls filled out the cheerleader uniform with her signature breasts, a flat abdomen camouflaged a bit by a sparkling midriff sheer and quite shapely legs shown to perfection in the cheerleader short shorts. All in all, after this performance, Dolly at a future Super Bowl would not come as a surprise.
  14. Very nicely written and heartfelt. Wish I could have been in Tahiti to see that beauty and of course the sunset as well.
  15. An escort being denied entry is a mystery since many here pay for just the opposite, eagerly waiting to accept entry.
  16. Reports are that is was a $300000 Bentley and that they were going to Canada to exchange money. Car goes out of control and blows up. Move on, Nothing suspicious here.
  17. The drug effect might explain the initial behavior but drug effect does not wear off as soon as the money is paid. So while possible, it is hard to explain how things turned out.
  18. It seems that the time to speak with him was at the time of the encounter. Unless you had given him his fee up front, I might have considered a small, thanks for coming over but you are wasting my time payment in other words carfare. Not getting his fee might have gotten him talking. It sounds as though he had some type of psychiatric problem and if you though that was the case, giving him the whole fee was probably the safest best. A review here on the forum might save some others from falling into the same black hole where even sound does not escape.
  19. In actuality Number 3 is the most difficult for me but I am working on getting better at asking for help mainly because as I get older, I actually need more help. Number 2 was never uttered in my household. #1 is jtough. #4 I am reasonably good with saying. As far as Worcestershire sauce. Tried it. Didn't like it. So, Never use it never will.
  20. One through 4 are all tied and equally difficult for me but Worcestershire sauce is #1.
  21. You know the best way to have people offering you what they feel is good advice that you don't want? Stop trying to convince people they are wrong, and you are right. Continue to do what you are doing. Continue to stew about how it is not working but stop talking about it with the expectation of a tsunami of support. You are not going to get it. Telling Vin he is privileged, is absolutely correct. He is privileged to have learned how to promote himself and his business. He is privileged to be extremely client friendly. He is privileged to offer a premier service stripped down to the basics. He is ;privileged in that he goes about his business uncomplainingly and professionally. He is privileged to know how to keep the small things small. He is privileged to have a loyal clientele who are loyal because they feel privileged to know him. I have been with him when he was speaking with the owner of a diner. The owner asked if he was Greek and he said no. He then asked if he was Brazilian and Vin said no. The owner then asked, well then what are you. He said that he was Mexican. The owner looked disgusted and said OH and ended the conversation. I was infuriated but he laughed at the ignorance. He made the small slight stay small. He prevented the small man from gaining any power over him. Keep venting here about these issues if you like, but don't expect the people here to change their minds about this deposit issue. Don't expect them to kowtow to you request to be leave your posts unanswered. If you do not want the answers, do not put forth the topic. BTW, we met in PS and I found you charming and funny and very personable. Try using those privileges in your business to a greater extent and at some point perhaps you can find some peace in your work. Good luck to you.
  22. I fail to understand the issue any longer: You may ask for a deposit. The client can refuse. End stop. Badgering the client is not going to change his mind or at the best it places the visit on an adversarial basis. So continue to ask and continue to get a certain percentage of rejections and stop wondering why or don't ask.
  23. Rybelsus is the oral form of semaglutide. Ozempic is the injectable so no flavoring needed. I would consider asking your compounder about bubblegum flavor.
  24. I am assuming that as the OP asked the question, the easy solution of dumping one or the other or both is kind of off the table. Otherwise just pick the flavor you like the most and end the situation with the other. The main reason for asking it would seem to me is that he wants to keep things going with both.
