  1. I did not think you intended to mean what you said in that particular sentence, but I could not resist a bit of tweak. Glad you had a good time and I hope to be part of the some you enjoy meeting next year.
  2. Hmmm does that mean that it was not a pleasure meeting and speaking to others? Or more likely, or at least more politely, that you only had to opportunity to speak with and meet some of the people.
  3. Hoping for the best for you. Keep us informed. If there is something that the forum can do, I am sure the forum will do it. That certainly applies to me.
  4. Still no tales of debauchery. I know that some believe what happens in PS stays in PS but I know for a fact there are those of the if you have nothing good to say come sit by me persuasion, so dish please.
  5. A few things: 1. CALR positive patient with MFN actually have a better prognosis than those who do not have it if they are negative for other markers such as JAK 2. 2. As we age, the sites of bone marrow decrease in size and intensity in each of us. If you are younger than expected for the level of bone marrow loss, it may be a natural process and not carry the significance of MFN. 3. That your other blood tests are normal or essentially normal, suggests that this is not a condition that has reached a level where intervention is necessary even if you should have MFN. If you were my patient, and I had the full details of what was going on, I would be able to give you more details about your condition. At the very least, a JAK 2 test would be done. If that is present, then there is greater reason for concern but that alone will not give a definitive diagnosis. SED rate and CPR are tests for inflammation and may be of benefit in a general way. I would also tell you, that until you have all the results, worrying about the outcome is natural but ultimately without benefit. You have gotten all the good you can out of worrying when it led you to seek out medical care. Any further worrying is not productive. Alternatives to deal with your worry might include meditation and exercise (as permitted by you knee pain, which btw, may be piriformis syndrome as Unicorn mentioned). As with anyone with an unknown health situation, I hope for the best for you. If this turns out to be MFN, and you are just CALR positive, that portends a better prognosis. That all your other tests are normal also portends a good outcome. Treatments for conditions such as MFN are improving all the time. Until you are sure, do not stress yourself further and once you are sure, determine the best path to take to insure the best outcome you can have.
  6. Which one? Liking them in a box or not liking them baked into bread? I would go with liking them in a box is odd as it they become all gooey and matted and generally unpalatable.
  7. Wish I could have attended. A living memorial to Daddy is appropriate and I hope to see it in bloom next year.
  8. Rick Hammersmith Vin Marco Apollo Phoenix Rod Roddick Mike Miller Sylvester. Russ Brooklyn All about 5 11 to 6 2 and all about 240 to 270. There are two others whose name I am caught on and then a bunch that are in runner up category. Two other ones are A Georgia Boy I saw a few times. Total bottom who soon after I saw him got into wearing fishnet stockings and high heels. A Purdue boy from Indiana who went to California and did some porn. Was into dating prep transexuals and went from clean cut to long haired and evil looking. Help with the names if they ring a bell for you. I will probably remember them after I get back from lunch. Purdue boy is Vince Ferrelli.
  9. I am not a big whiffer but I do like to take my partners underwear and either rub them in their face or on rare occasion, while a parter is restrained, take the underwear and put them in his mouth. I have mentioned this here in the past but I will repeat it here. I had an escort unzip and placed myself in his underwear and came in them while he was wearing them. Wethen went to dinner with him still wet with my load. When we returned home, I brought them up to his face and had him smell our intermingled scents.
  10. Timeless, as any Met fan would know.
  11. I am a Mets fan and it took the Mets 8019 games to get their first no hitter. With the likes of Tom Seaver, Dwight Gooden, Jerry Koosman, Nolan Ryan, one wonders what took so long. The Mets have only one no hitter in their history and that one came with a bad call from an umpire that called a fair ball foul, and thereby eliminating a sure hit from the record. San Diego took 8206 games to get their first one. However, there were no obviously wrong calls in this game and so no question that it was valid. The Padres and the Mets are now tied at 1 no hitter each, with the Mets about 7 seasons older than the Padres. Congratulations on sticking with the Padresfor so long. At least the Mets have 5 Pennants and 2 World Series wins so 59 years of following the team has not been all heartbreak.
  12. David I hope your intro party went well. It was always a great way to start the weekend. I hope that you will be having that party again next year and I can convince you and Todd to give me a private tour of the house ??????
  13. While I have not got to view them in person, Vin Marco has been bicycling up to 100 miles a day and leg pressing as much as 1100 pounds and his legs look amazing in his texts. I wish I could find a picture, but I know he is in Palm Springs tonight so perhaps one of the weekenders should give him a call and see what all that leg work can do.
  14. Ah, so when we finally have a session together, my neighbors won't be suspicious when I get you to cry "uncle".
  15. Please keep those of us who could not make it updated on the activities. I hope you all have as great a time as I have had there in the past.
  16. The best laid plans....unfortunately my dog Bubba has been ill for awhile. He has a tumor called a chemocytoma which is a slow growing cancer near the heart. Its location causes him to go into heart failure and have his abdomen fill up with fluid. He needs to have the fluid drained every three weeks. I thought I could convince myself to leave him with a good friend or a relative, both of whom he knows. As time has grown closer, he has worsened and I am not sure he will make it through the week I was planning on being away. So unfortunately, I have cancelled my plans to attend. I hope you all have a great time. This is the second time I have had a last minute illness derail my plans to attend. The last time I was the one that was hospitalized. With the fluid removal, this will be the fourth time, Bubba usually bounces back, but like a rubber ball, each subsequent bounce is not as high and not as strong. I will be thinking of you. More disheartening for some, I have told Vin Marco, that I have had to cancel our plans to spend the weekend together as he planned to accompany me to each of the festivities. Sorry guys.

  18. I had been happily married and then widowed. My wife's passing left me shaken and after a year or slightly more I tried to date only to find no joy in interacting with women. At work one day, a sexy young man came in, tight pants and a well fitted shirt with a muscular body. I found myself thinking, I could fuck that guy. With that realization, at age 48, I began to consider whether sex with men would be an option for me. I went to various M4M chat rooms on AOL and eventually was told about this site, though I had seen others. When I came to the forum, it was not really a warm welcome. I asked not only newbie questions about escorts, but newbie questions about gay sex, But I did eventually hire my first male escort from here on a trip to San Francisco. After a hot night with our very own Steven Kesslar, I came back to write a review and stayed for entertainment. Steven was not the first escort I hired, I do not recall how I met the first two, one of whom I still contact and the other, sadly has passed on. Steven Kesslar was a great hire for a newbie and was the first man I had the privilege of knowing in every sense. He was great enough hat he and this site have had a major impact on how my life has progressed since then.
  19. You know Daddy would be very mad at you right now for breaking the rules about making and other than English language post. My feeling is that he may have forgiven you just this once.
  20. For the last several weeks I have come to this site expecting this news and was then relieved when it was not here. I was just heading to bed and decided I would check again, just to be sure. Unfortunately, this time, my expectation was met I hope that in his life, he had a sense of the important role he played in the life of many of the men of this site. I had the opportunity to meet him at the Palm Springs Party and found him to be a caring man but to me, he was more than a bit sad. It my sincere hope that he found joy in his life, satisfaction in his work and companionship in times of need. I also hope that in his passing he will be remembered as a hard working and dedicated individual who held this site together and who, as a result of that, held us together. It seems that we will all soon need to move on with our lives without the comfort and joy this site brings. When we miss this site, we should also take time to consider and thank the man who worked so diligently to bring it to us.
  21. Oh I quoted him in the chart in case this situation does go further. I agree it was a total horror show. I have spoken to the Chief of Medicine and have asked that the ER portion of the care be reviewed. As for myself, by the time I collected the information I called for them to cancel the case but the patient was already in the OR. Ultimately I was supervising the residents and I could have stopped delayed the case until I had all the data so I am not blameless in this matter. I think there is a whole lot of blame to go around. It started with a deceptive patient but it definitely was not the finest moment of anyone involved.
  22. . Time to get rid of those pills. Potency issues after fourteen years.
  23. To reiterate, I found these things disheartening. I did not take the first remarks as anything other than the very toxic words of a manipulator. But the kind of mind that comes yp with that is disheartening and the ease with which he said it made me think that he has said these words of some version of them Ito others. . The second was definitely not a jesting remark. I had only one floor ride with him and if the first event had not just happened I probably just would have chalked it up to his being an ass. As it was, I was just further disheartened by world in which we live. Disheartened, not offended, but definitely saddened. I went and got an ice cream and sublimated. Almond Crunch Pop. it was delicious.
  24. Let me just say that it fortunate that I did not need a CT scan for a stroke based on how this case was handled. Admitted to my service when I was not on call. ER relied on a CT report on a cell phone...well there was plenty of other nonsense all compounded by his lack of cooperation to have testing done and the ER's admitting the patient with terrible information likely because he was abusive and they did not want him in the crowded ER yelling. A very experienced urologist agreed to do a cystoscopy and did it while the pieces of his story were being torn apart. When he had the cystoscopy and was told no stone no pain med is when he went on his worse of numerous tirades. He was no a kid, he was over 40. This may have been the most obvious drug seeking attempt I have seen in a long time and everyone just was bullied or turned a blind eye. This is not the usual level of care at this facility but it was one of the worst handled cases I have encountered.
  25. I did not care what they said, but the tone and vitriol was disturbing and bothersome and as the question asks, disheartening. . The words themselves were rude and in the first case, would have been incomprehensible for me to imagine anyone saying. it is bothersome because as we go about our lives, we are faced with people who are so desperate and so thoughtless as to say these things. That one would not be disheartened by these statements suggests that perhaps we have become inured to the outrageousness of these kind of indignities. I have heard worse and had worse directed at me, shrugging it off to an acceptance that this is just the world we live in is a sad commentary on how far we have fallen.
