  1. Still not sure whether you need a CPA, an attorney, or the kid at the Jackson Hewitt kiosk over at Walmart? Well, you don't need a tax specialist to tell you that donating to the Forum is the right thing to do, even if it isn't tax-deductible.
  2. I feel the same as you do about massage. Unless I "need a massage" i.e. my back or shoulders are bothering me, the massage is not really satisfying for the reasons you mentioned. We could call this "Chicken Soup for the Libido."
  3. You could always take a page out of Risky Business and do it on a Muni Metro car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKOpN1Q4fNQ:134 If you are fortunate enough to get a new train that has longitudinal seating you would have plenty of room to spread out, unlike poor Tom. But seriously, the apps listed here are a good option for situations like yours.
  4. He's still advertising on RM, but as a versatile/top. Perhaps they are trying to say "fuck the confederate flag."
  5. "I don't know! All I did was post a comment about generic Allegra and the next thing I know..."
  6. My cats took notuice when I watched the video. Meow, meow.
  7. It is interesting that you mention privacy rules because before reaching the computer's login page every employee at my company has to acknowledge their understanding that they should not assume their computer or Internet usage is private. Just to make sure we don't randomly click through the page Info Security will rearrange the "Yes" and "No" buttons. Clicking "No" boots the user out of the login process, which requires a power-down and re-start to try again. Speaking only for my employer and for vendors whose sites I've visited, the wifi is typically behind the firewall and for use by employees and by authorized visitors. Customer-use wifi is often outside of the firewall, but as you stated dating, hookup, adult-themed, and sites whose content is questionable is almost always blocked. A funny anecdote from several years ago comes to mind. When an employee of my company would attempt to reach our sibling and parent company's website we would be blocked from doing so. The reason displayed on screen was "internet porn." This was in the 1990's, before the concept of "white-listing" was widespread.
  8. Something similar happened to me when I bought my current phone. I forgot to "forget" my work's wifi network and the phone tried to connect to it. Fortunately, the "guest password" pop-up displayed first and so it did not try connecting over the employee wifi network. Now it uses my trusty Verizon data plan by default.
  9. Hil-fucking-larious
  10. I'm sorry - mis-read your post. Well, at least we know how he found you. Why he was looking - who knows? I was about to say "he seems to be a bit shifty" but that is an understatement. Maybe he is a whack job.
  11. There are two privacy settings around who can see you as a member. One, as @Gar1eth pointed out, controls whether an advertiser can see whether you checked them out. This can be set to "No - don't track me." @bostonman did not check the guy out before receiving the message, so this setting would not have affected whether the escort would have or not have seen him. There is another setting that controls whether your profile is visible when someone does a search. This can be set to "Invisible." My guess is that @bostonman has not changed this setting from "Visible" to "Invisible" and so the escort was able to search for guys in a particular city and in so doing @bostonman's profile displayed in the search results. All that being said, it seems unusual that an escort would send a note to a prospective client and then not reply to the prospective client's reply. Based on a quick read of @bostonman's original post he seems to be as perplexed as I am.
  12. Not to make the waters muddier, but if you see a review from Musl Lvr it is written by neither of the above gentlemen. It is written by me. wrote my first couple of reviews prior to joining the Forum and there is/was yet another gent who went by "Musl Lvr" on the Forum when I joined. Back to the topic, both men are beautiful.
  13. Very damn musky when I met him. That said, I have missed texts because they get lost in the shuffle of alerts and notifications and other texts. Sending a follow-up is not that hard.
  14. Apple refused to acknowledge that the keyboard design or a design defect caused the keyboards to stick and would charge the customer hundreds of dollars to replace the keyboard. Here's an excerpt from an article that appeared on SlashGear: "...Different strokes for different folks Were it just a matter of personal taste, the butterfly keyboard probably wouldn’t have so many detractors. Unfortunately, along with that frustration came some reliability concerns. Reports of sticky keys, keys that wouldn’t respond to presses, or keys that produced multiple letters even though only tapped once began to circulate. The nature of the new mechanism, though, meant that fixing those issues was tougher than with most notebook keyboards. Unlike the old scissor keys, the butterfly mechanism couldn’t be easily pried up so that dust, trumps, and other detritus could be cleaned out. Trying to do so, indeed, could leave you with a completely broken key. Apple’s advice was the judicious application of some compressed air, but even that wasn’t enough in many cases. Worse still, the company refused to acknowledge any part its design might have played in its temperamental ‘boards. Repairs could escalate to the hundreds of dollars, because the whole keyboard assembly needed to be replaced..." I call that "where bad design meets hubris."
  15. The problem was Apple refused to admit the keyboards were defective. Good news that they are going back to the old-style keyboards.
  16. Then you mean meat-like, meat-free products are the fad which (like @LivingnLA) I do not believe are a fad. Impossible is but one company that produces such products. Beyond is another. Being soy intolerant, I have not tried Impossible burgers, but I have tried Beyond Meat burgers and liked them. By the way, unless the party was catered by a restaurant, you did not have Impossible meatballs. They are not sold directly to consumers. You probably had a product that was made by Beyond Meat. Whoever called it an Impossible meatball was wrong. On second thought, they were right. It is impossible to buy Impossible burgers and meatballs in a retail store or wholesale club.
  17. It isn't a fad. It is the name of a company that makes meat-like products that are not made of meat. Here's a link to their website. Their competitor is called Beyond Meat. I don't find either brand name to be an over-used or empty word, but I'm wondering whether the Forum gets the same visceral reaction to "Beyond Meat" as it does to "Impossible Burger." By the way, Impossible does not make veggie burgers. The primary ingredients are water, soy protein concentrate, and various types of oil. Here's a list of ingredients from an article in Cooking Light: Water, Soy Protein Concentrate, Coconut Oil, Sunflower Oil, Natural Flavors, 2% or less of: Potato Protein, Methylcellulose, Yeast Extract, Cultured Dextrose, Food Starch Modified, Soy Leghemoglobin, Salt, Soy Protein Isolate, Mixed Tocopherols (Vitamin E), Zinc Gluconate, Thiamine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B1), Sodium Ascorbate (Vitamin C), Niacin, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6), Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Vitamin B12. On the other hand, Gardenburger (which markets itself as a veggie burger) is made of actual vegetables as well as other ingredients: Cooked Brown Rice (long Grain Brown Rice, Water), Button Mushrooms, Rolled Oats, Mozzarella Cheese (pasteurized Part-skim Milk, Cultures, Salt, Enzymes), Onions, Water, Hydrated Wheat Bulgur (water, Bulgur Wheat), Crimini Mushrooms, Spices, Portabella Mushrooms, Cheddar Cheese (pasteurized Milk, Salt, Enzymes, Cultures, Annatto Color), Contains Two Percent Or Less Of Salt, Natural Flavors, Modified Vegetable Gum, Garlic Powder, Yeast Extract, Citric Acid, Whey, Malted Barley, Annatto Color, Malted Barley Flour, Onion Powder, Mushroom Powder, Guar Gum, Annatto Extract (color), Turmeric Extract (color), Soy Lecithin.
  18. Have to agree with you there. Tampa is not as bad as Orlando and environs, but that bar is set very low.
  19. And Michael Vincenzo. Don't forget about him! You took the words right out of my mou, er, keyboard.
  20. He advertised under a different name, which escapes me at the moment. I like the last line in his ad: "My nipples are sensitive; don't call them names."
  21. In the same vein, "hand-crafted"sandwiches How the hell else would one make a sandwich?
  22. I loved every one of the 185,000 miles I drove in my Plymouth Horizon between 1988 and 1997. Thanks, Lee Iacocca! RIP.
