  1. I agree that there is a difference between being friends and being friendly, but if you have a friendly and interested nature, then you may become friends with anyone. Considering that the number of escort client interactions with different pairings (or thruples or more..) which have occurred with forum members probably stretches to the millions, it would seem inevitable that some of those would wind up as friends. It seems most likely that those people who are open to the idea of such relationships would be the ones most likely to develop one. So, can a provider be a real friend for some people? IMO, the probabilities are so high as to make it almost a certainty, though a rarity. Is it probable given the circumstances of the relationship and human bandwidth? No not likely but inevitably yes. As a doctor I was not friends with the vast majority of my patients, but after years and more than ten thousand encounters with different patients, I am friends with a select few. Go to the house for holidays friends, get invited to the kid's wedding friends, attend the funeral of a parent or a spouse friend, have a drink out and watch a football game friend, borrow their tools and don't return them friends, and yes even get a call in the middle of the night to go bail their kid out of jail friend. This while living in a well populated state and meeting these people after I had a well establish coterie of other people in my life. Where does the new doctor in town in Alaska make his friends? Watch Northern Exposure Reruns to find out.
  2. Just another point, antibiotic development is not particularly profitable for drug companies. As opposed to daily medications such as statins or blood pressure medication, antibiotics are taken as needed and as such sales are many times higher in the daily drugs. In order for medicine to keep up with mutations which lead to drug resistance, companies are going to have to have a financial incentive to increase research in this field.
  3. While resistant gonorrhea is going to become a larger and larger problem, at this time, the routine treatment for gonorrhea is cheap and effective in most cases in most places. There are pockets of areas where there is a larger percentage of resistant strain gonorrhea and in those areas a drug which is effective against the resistant bacteria is beneficial. While the article states that eventually the treatment cost will be as inexpensive as treatment for GC is now, that will occur only after the developing company has lost its patent, at least that will be the case in the US. So given the likely high initial cost, the possibility of resistance to this drug developing from overuse and the relative effectiveness of the present treatment, this advance initially only will make a small difference in the manner in which GC will be treated, Prevention is still the best course of action. Public health efforts such as legalization of sex work and required testing for sex workers in order to locate and treat unsuspected cases of the disease would also slow the development of a more resistant GC dominant strain. But the bacteria always win these races. Encouragement of use of condoms,( I know I know I know no one wants to hear that) is another potential brake on the eventual collision of humans and super resistant GC.
  4. More interesting would be to do it during sex. This question has been asked a lot and discussed forever. There is really one simple answer. Friendly people make friends wherever they go. So yes one can, as to whether most can is another question and a third question is whether most escorts want clients as friends.
  5. Be prepared for the chills if it is your first time to the Viet Nam Memorial or even if it is you 100th. Those chills are there whether it is December or the dog days of August.
  6. Probably because as with most out of state drivers, they cannot figure out the jug handle turn. A simple improvement on the left turn that many people from out of the Garden State cannot master. There is a rumor from the Revolutionary War that even George Washington when returning from crossing the Delaware, could not figure out the jug handle turn and so he built a bridge to New York where the less talented drivers find sitting for hours in traffic preferable.
  7. Vin is right about the men in Jersey. There is a lot of beefy muscle and quite a bit of sexual energy among the dad bod set. Unfortunately, I have the grandad bod and while the engine is running and it can still get me where I need to go, there is a lot more milage on it.
  8. I grew up in NYC and I live in NJ. NYC definitely has its obvious charms while NJ is a more subtle beauty but one has to leave the Parkways and the Turnpike to see it. Many people from NYC are just a bit close minded on the subject, except of course in the summer when they leave the swelter of the city to come the the Jersey beaches or the autumn when they come to he Delaware Water Gap to view the foliage or in the spring when the warm weather offers great open spaces or the winter for the convenient skiing/. Or any times of the year when the NYC folk are looking for affordable housing near their jobs. New Jersey is actually a well kept secret for those in the know however, it is a great place to visit or live. For those who wish to pass, the bad jokes are a small price to pay for not having to deal with their bad driving. Just wondering which Airport you prefer Newark International here in Jersey or LaGuardia or Kennedy convenient located just a few miles from Manhattan, an easy 2 to 4 hour drive. .
  9. Well at least they had a non stop flight. Yes they took the Panda Express. But I believe it is best that they are returned, we do not want to pander to the Chinese for a few bears. Certainly for some who thought they were a gift, they were bamboo zled. Any suggestions for the in flight Movie? Kung Fu Panda seems too obvious. Peter Panda. the story of a a bear that just didn't want to grow up. The Un Bear able Lightness of Being The story of 1982 Czechoslovakia and of two men, two women and a Panda who survive the Czech Spring Panda's Labyrinth. Story of a young Panda who finds its way to a strange and magical land Panda or a Box. Movie about a game show where you can either win a bear or unleash all the troubles of the world from a locked vessel Or maybe just a concert from someone playing the Panda's Flute
  10. I saw an interview with her on Oprah where she first spoke about this ability. Subsequently about 10 more people came forward to say that they too had total recall. Subsequently I saw her with that group on Sixty Minutes discussing the pros and cons of such an ability. She said that when she was remembering these things along with the memory, the emotions of the moment also came back. So when she thought of her mother's death, the pain of the memory was just as intense as if it were just happening. They also asked her to state her memories of a particular date, which turned out to be the day she lost her virginity and she thought that was very funny. Also, though many of us would not recall the date, the memory of our first time is probably deeply embedded in the memory of each of us. The fact that I remember this with this detail makes me realize what a horror it must be to remember all of the less than memorable details of one's life.
  11. On you, spandex in any color is back. Baby's Got Back.
  12. There is no specific contraindication to statins. There are several drugs which should be avoided such as blood thinners and other erectile medications. Marijuana may also cause difficulties. Certain medication conditions also should limit the use of Trimix including multiple myeloma, uncontrolled hypertension and a history of bleeding disorders and a history of priapism. Best to speak with your doctor before using it. If not, at least do the research of checking the package insert and insuring that you do not have any of the listed contraindications.
  13. When I first opened my office, I was going to be working at two different sites for aa total of about 14 hours a day for 7 days a week. As a result, I indulged in a nice jaguar convertible lease as I felt I wanted a little compensation that was tangible to remind me why I was working that hard to start. I enjoyed the ride, putting down the roof, especially in the winter and turning on the heat to keep the car warm and the sunshine coming in. I enjoyed looking back from a start off a red light and not seeing any cars near me. Little pleasures which were a treat I felt I deserved. At the time the lease was about 1200 per month. I have subsequently figured out better ways to spend my money and better ways to validate my choice toward that hard work. Now I drive a Chevy Cruze which I bought new for 17000 and not surprisingly, I still get where I am going.
  14. I agree with your not attending when the wishes of the deceased about a personal choice is disregarded. In Mr Perry's case, he was saying how he would like to be remembered but none of us has the ability to control our legacy, try as we might, others will determine that. His philanthropic work and his attempts to aid in recovery for those addicted is being highlighted now, but his notoriety will always be related to the project that brought him to public consciousness and which allowed him to do good works. It may have not been what he would have wanted, but that those works are being mentioned as frequently as they are now is still a major accomplishment.
  15. I am not a big fan of the holidays and it seems to me that escorts also have additional family obligations and friends to visit so their schedules tend to be a little tight. So while I might enjoy some time with them, they have a personal life to which they need to attend. As far as generosity at the holidays, I do try to be generous with those providers I encounter. BuffaloKyle, I lived in Buffalo for 4 years in my younger days. It seems to me those cold days are a perfect time to in a warm bed with a hot man. Don't let your libido go on vacation, enjoy it while you have it. Getting an escort to come to Buffalo in the winter may be a different issue.
  16. I used to hire a couple who worked together and separately/. I had a great time with them. They hardly interacted with each other at all, which meant the focus was on me but I never asked them to interact with each other which would have given me a breather in our two to three =hour sessions, As a result, my legs were always wobbly leaving their apartment. Eventually, I came to enjoy one of them more than the other and they were reluctant to work with that and so I stopped hiring them. A threesome I had which occurred spontaneously after an escort I had hired suggested that his friend who was at a party with us, join us. That did not work out as well.
  17. I have a different take on this. I do not find it strange that actors or athletes or singers may touch a person's life in a way that is disproportionate to the actual significance the interaction. As a boy my baseball hero was Mickey Mantle which was not unusual in NYC at the time. When he died more than 30 years later I was more affected by his death than I was with the death of some family members and others with a real world connection to my life. And the impact of his death lasted for several days. But Mickey Mantle for me was, as a 9 year old, an aspiration and a real inspiration. Not the real life alcoholic, misogynist, absentee father, but the person I imagined him to be, confident, capable and heroic. I imagine many children of the 90s had a similar feeling about the cast members of Friends or perhaps other shows. The images of these characters came into your home weekly. They made you laugh and they had problems which were relatable to your life while not being alive at all. The characters were not afraid to be vulnerable, they shared their secrets with you and you knew that they would be there as scheduled each Thursday. And even now, they are there almost all day long, dancing in a fountain or hanging out endlessly at a coffee shop or dating some hot new guy or girl. Matthew Perry seems to have done some good work with overcoming addiction and helping others to do so. There are at least 10 people who come to counsel addicts at my hospital doing real work and saving real lives, but they do not come into my living room and tell me who they are dating. So in that way, the real people do not seem to be nearly as real as the characters. So those flowers are being left for the impact which that character had in their life, for the real unreal relationship that exists with the deceased and the flowers have little to do with the real person who has died. Their involvement in this way is a credit to the work Mr Perry did professionally as an actor and that work is the main reason that most who care about his involvement with helping others with their sobriety. He has succeeded in getting his message across, although for most people, that realization occurred as a result of his passing.
  18. The first time I went to a strip joint I was a 16 year old college freshman and some of the more experienced 18 year olds took me to a place in downtown Buffalo, do not recall the name. The first dancer came on and danced to the Popcorn song and I was mesmerized by the way she bounced her breasts until finally the bra she was wearing loosened and she continued to dance in rhythm with the song bouncing her breasts for the full time. I do not know if that is talent or dedication but it was amazing enough that I can still see those breasts in my mind's eye bouncing and eventually freeing themselves from the bonds of he bra more than 50 years later. the+popcorn+song - Google Search WWW.GOOGLE.COM
  19. Once you have finished the prep work, I will be trying to get on the list like Swifties on the first day of ticket availability. No ifs and or butt plugs.
  20. Ah if only you were more inclined for others to get behind you.
  21. My wife and I used to celebrate thanksgiving alone. I worked while she prepared dinner and then when I arrived at home from the office, I was ready to spend time with the person for whom I was the most thankful. We even got married on Thanksgiving weekend. Now, this time, being the 24th year since her passing, I will be having dinner at home. Usually I am alone and thankful for the solitude and for the fact that I make a great turkey dinner. I do not leave the country, rather I celebrate the concept of being thankful even if it is being thankful for what once was. Of all the holidays, I would say I am most thankful for Thanksgiving.
  22. This thread reminds me of sitting at the Thanksgiving table and having someone ask each of us at the table to say for what we are grateful. The usual responses are the food, the company, good health or gratitude for many blessings in life without specification. Soon enough, someone is stumped as to what to say or more likely how to say it and that ends the chain as the guests start to clamor to get to the food. I always felt awkward at such times and I was always most grateful if the chain did not get around to me. That was usually because I was fortunate enough to be one of those who truly have had so much for which to be grateful. I do not have an acquisitive nature. I set my expectations of my life in a way that I want for little and I get by with what I have. That has always been the case. When I was younger, I had little and got by quite contentedly with cans or tomato soup and rice. Dinner was either a can a soup, a bowl of rice or a bowl of tomato rice soup. I do recall being surprised and disheartened when the price of a can of tomato soup went from ten cents a can to eleven cents a can. I asked one of the employees of the store why that happened, and he explained to me that things change and not usually for the better, so I should get used to spending more, getting less and hoping for the best. I decided that he was probably right and that rather than wishing it was not so, I should work hard and make sure that I was prepared no matter where life would take me, I have found that this has served me well and for this lesson I am very grateful. I now am comfortable in my life. This Thanksgiving, if I should be asked for what I am grateful, I will be able to say I am grateful to be free from the fear of hunger, and lack of shelter and for the good company I have on my travels through this life. I am grateful for the great good fortune to have led a basically healthy life, In addition, rather than to be stumped there, I will also be able to say I am grateful to have led a life a compassion and service. I am grateful that I am able to help many around me who are in need and for whom a small increase in the price of every day staples is a battle rather than an inconvenience. I am grateful that I have led a life I can look back upon with minimal regret and maximum delight. I am grateful to have learned to look forward to the big picture rather than focusing on any temporary difficulty. I am grateful to recognize how lucky I have been , for how well my life has worked out and for the opportunity to express my gratitude to any and all who wish to listen. I am grateful to The Rolling Stones, who perhaps express it as well as any when they sing: If you try some time, you just might find, you get what you need.
