I am still optimistic that in a month things will have settled down and 10 days in Palm Springs would be just what the doctor ordered. Hope springs eternal.

I was speaking with a friend today who mentioned that his dog needed to lose 12 pounds. I asked him what he was using for treats and he said he gave the dog 2 slices of American cheese individual wrappings. I told him with all assuring that it was found that only 1/100th of a slice of American cheese was sufficient incentive for a dog to consider it a treat. Here is my point, I know I read that in the distant past. In my mind it is as true as anything else. However, there is really one way to verify the veracity of this statement and I have absolutely no idea where and when or even why I would have heard this,. Why I have taken it as gospel and spout it out at the first opportunity to use this nugget is a mystery to me. However, until proven otherwise, it takes only 1/100th of a piece of American Cheese to use as a training tidbit for dogs. So, who else has totally unverifiable trivial truths locked in their head and have you had the chance to use this small pearl? Have you just dropped it in conversation to the amazement and bewilderment of your fellow conversant?

Feliz cumpleaños I believe is the correct salutation for where you are at the moment. I hope all is going well.

Just learned that the business trip that was the tail end of my stay in California will not be paid for by my employer. So now I have five days in California after Palm Springs with nothing on may schedule. Sounds like a vacation provided the virus cooperates.

As a health care worker, I knew it would eventually be the case that the coronavirus would strike close to home. A good friend of mine is an Xray tech and he just found out he was exposed to the coronavirus from an ER patient who is now on life support. He works in a hospital in northern NJ. My friend tells me the hospital does not have a cogent plan as to how to handle this and he is being asked to work despite having had direct contact with the patient, The other two local hospitals here have had their first cases and my guess is my hospital will have one very soon. Our disaster plan is also a work in progress at this time. The concerns are having enough staff to take care of the sick patients. It seems the hospital is also very short on gloves and facemarks. This virus will present all kinds of logistical problems and the costs to the health care industry will be very high. Of course there will be morality and mortality. Hopefully this will peak soon.. The weather is changing and that speaks well for controlling most coronaviruses.

I am thinking many of these are based on more financial risk of lawsuits vs actual risk. Not to say that there is not a risk. In NYC the cases have doubled in the last two days but they number under 400. If they continue to double, now that would become very serious, very fast. But as people are aware and taking precautions and the known cases are quarantined, the curve of new cases will likely flatten and then decrease, One know exposure had led to the closing of a school district. Columbia University has closed down classes for a few days. It would seem that densely populated areas would be at greatest risk for transmission. so the NYC and NYS emergency precautions are valid. All that being said, I am still planning on coming to PS and then to a medical convention in LA afterwards.

Throw up on the pilot's shoes

Unfortunately several ships have been centers of concern. I saw today that a ship had 2400 people quarantined to their room for the remainder of the cruise as a result of a single person with an exposure. The next item on the news was tracking the first case in NYC in which 18 people have been confirmed to have contracted the disease from him and another 168 have been quarantined. With that kind of spread and the heightened sense of worry, it is possible for just the hint of a sneeze or a cough or a fever would be enough for the cruise line to quarantine the entire ship. Ten days on a boat in a room, is not my idea of a good time. If I had travel insurance I would definitely cancel. Without it, I would weigh the pros and cons and make my decision based on number of cases in your area and type of screening, if any, the cruise line is doing.

Hip movement,

Assuming you had at most carryon, could you just get off the flight at LAX feigning illness?

At the party, it was raw second most popular thing to pop in your mouth and savor.

Was working for the alliteration of pecs for pesos. Could have done delta for dollars. Pecs for Pa'anga has the alliteration but not the clear message of he is doing it for the money honey. Thanks for the economics lesson though.

Prefer hairless armpits? Not really but it is hardly a deal breaker for me. And while I think he likes showing off the results of his hard work, Tongans usually are shirtless so some of it is cultural. Also, I think he probably figures, correctly I am sure, that he can turn those pecs into pesos.

Most will recall him from the numerous insightful interviews with actors and filmmakers. He had an easy style and had a great love of acting and movies. I have missed his interview program and I am saddened by his passing.

Some may recall he carried the Tongan flag at the 2016 Summer and 2018 Winter Olympics and he has just qualified for the 2020 Games. He was notable for carrying the flag shirtless and covered in coconut oil.

I bought Intellivion when it was the hot thing on the market. Never played it enough to be worth the investment and I have no idea where it went.

Savannah has not been that warm. Dominican Republic?

I just went out to a wine paired dinner with a regular and the evening turned late. He had to beg off on the recreation so I paid him and have a session on credit now. This has happened once before. It is nice to not actually supply funds during and after a session. I have never had a true freebie, but I have overnights extend to two days without additional cost.

Your rotary wall phone did not have a ring value control at the bottom? It did not silence the ring but qjuieted it so as to no disturb sleeping children. Though no one really called after 8PM, much too late to call. LOL

Rod Roddick had broken up with his fiancé and stayed at my home for a few weeks. I helped him to find an apartment in NYC Within two weeks, he called me to tell me he was in the ER and that he wanted advice as to what to do. I spoke with his doctor. I then told Rod I was coming to the ER. By the time I arrived, he was already headed to ICU. After several weeks in the hospital he made it home. I visited him and he was in great spirits and he had just adopted a puppy. Within two weeks he was gone.

If I can't get a kiss, I tell them to kiss off.

I remember hearing Dwight Eisenhower had a heart attack on a gold course and the nation held its breath hoping for the best for the President. Those really were the good old days. Perhaps we will be lucky enough to see some of that come back.

I have rarely tried to bottom and with little success when I do. So I consider myself a non-bottom, yet many of the escorts I hire list their preference as Top. I still hire them and find plenty of things to do. If you are having trouble finding something to do with a young, good lucking sexy man who wants to have an intimate time with you, you are not using your imagination. My best advice to you would to be to forget traditional roles and roll with the situation, Since you state that sex does not need to include penetration, you clearly have other sexual interests. Pursue those. You may be surprised that in the heat of the night, one of you may decide: "I need to fuck that ass. " and even if that does not happen, you can still walk away with a hitch in your giddyap and a smile on your face.

While there are different names and dates, this is one listing of the generations with dates and associated names. Most of us here are Boomers I believe, but there are a few Silent Generation members, also known as the greatest generation. I doubt there are any GI Generation members here but if there are please say it pround. Generation Z are not old enough to drink legally in the US, so there are very few if any of them here. 2000–: New Silent Generation or Generation Z. 1980 to 2000: Millennials or Generation Y. 1965 to 1979: Thirteeners or Generation X. 1946 to 1964: Baby Boomers. 1925 to 1945: the Silent Generation. (Also known as Greatest Generation) 1900 to 1924: the G.I. Generation. I am a Boomer. I take OK Boomer as a compliment rather than the put down it is sometimes intended. I remember Vanna White before she wore orthopedic high heels. I remember when seeing the NBC Peacock instilled wonder. I know from whence came the title of this thread, What about the rest of you? As an aside, do you feel any sort of special identification with the members of your generation?

Tyger you had told me this story in person but seeing it in writing was even more moving. I think it is the power of the written word to be eternal that made that so. I hope Micheal Jackson (the cat not the singer, who ...spoiler alert....is dead) is doing well.
