  1. Yup, yup, and yup.
  2. I worked for a mid-sized (small by today's standards) institution in Chicago that had a couple of niches, one of which was vault services. We had about half the currency exchanges (check cashing companies), dozens of small banks, several retailers and fast-food places, and assorted other businesses. We also counted coin and tokens for the Chicago Transit Authority. It was actually a fun environment. There were cameras everywhere, of course, and an entry system that looked like the intro to Get Smart. When a client reported a shortage all involved would get polygraphed. In the three years I worked there fewer than five people were fired. We rarely had shortages.
  3. I never had a favorite piece, but was the banker almost every time we played. Next year will be my 35th year working in banking. My first job? Counting currency in the cash vault.
  4. He has updated his age. Apparently he, like a friend and I, celebrates an annual thirtieth birthday.
  5. Humor on display in the Chicago suburbs:
  6. @Rudynate , your post reminded me that back in the 1970's the same Chicago Transit Authority referenced above had in-bus signage (such as "No Smoking" and " Move to the Rear" in several languages. If memory serves they were printed in English, Spanish, Polish, German, and Chinese. To this day the city has both English and Chinese signage in the historic Chinatown area on the Near South Side. I can't recall whether similar signage is present in "New Chinatown" on the North Side around Argyle and Broadway. Or should I say around 阿盖尔 和 百老汇
  7. For many years, the Chicago Transit Authority denoted the way to a station exit using a sign that read "OUT" with an arrow pointing in the direction of the exit. It is a pretty efficient way of getting the message across.
  8. His ad is gone, unfortunately.

  10. Can't tell whether he eats roast beef, but apparently he does go wee, wee, wee all the way home.
  11. Given the neatly-printed sign with yesterday's date, I'm going to say he is legit. And he prints neatly. I'll clean his fountain pen bits any time.
  12. And then there's the ad text that states his name as "Eric" but the text that displays with his phone number instructs you to ask for StevenHarrison.
  13. The article mentions that BaitBus and others are scripted, but this is not. Well, that's Thailand and this is Florida. However, we could send law enforcement over there research purposes. PURELY research. Completely agree.
  14. That's a result of the new EU privacy regulations.
  15. I does not sound like you are drawing a conclusion about his character or about his worth as a human being based on the presence of cutting scars. Regardless whether you are or aren't, if the scars will detract from the pleasure you derive from spending time with him then don't contact him.
  16. Right. Proper names are capitalized. As you stated, African American is a proper name that refers to an American (proper name derived from a proper noun) who is of African (proper name derived from a proper noun) descent. I'm of German and Polish ancestry (and maybe more - let's see what my DNA test reveals) so I can be classified as a German American, Polish American, and/or European American. We also call people of my skin tone "white." We would call me and others who look like me "white American," i.e. "white" is a common noun (so it is not capitalized) and "American" is a proper noun (so it is capitalized).
  17. What a charmer.
  18. The page quoted in the original post displays a "404 - Not Found" error."
  19. Hmm, you gave a compliment to a fellow escort and he "...just threw up in [his] mouth a little..." What an asshole. I give compliments to colleagues all the time and they say "thank you." There's no telling why he responded that way. Frankly, I can't fathom why anyone would give that response to a compliment. He lists PNP as an interest, so maybe the drugs have addled his brain and caused him to have tummy issues that cause random acts of vomiting Regarding comments about you being a "gay stereotype," if being in a loving committed relationship has become a gay stereotype then hooray!!
  20. Adjectives and common nouns are not capitalized unless they begin a sentence or are part of an official title (such as The San Diego Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Community Center). If we want to start capitalizing "Gay," then for consistency we should capitalize "Straight" when it refers to a person, Bisexual, Queer, Transgender, and so forth. I'm curious: What is the logic behind capitalizing "Gay?"
  21. From his ad: "If you email we can swap over to texting if thats easier." I can tell you from my own experience having a job that keeps me very busy I can't always text. Email is much easier. Besides, as quoted above he will text after an initial contact. Not sure why using email first is a big deal.
  22. Just do the Chipotle part of the evening at the end. All those onions and beans could prove problematic.
  23. I'd say within the last three to six months.
