  1. What do you mean by "photo search?"
  2. watch out, @azdr0710, you are going to be labeled as an ENABLER.
  3. No experience here, sorry. He is cute, though. Hope you get some feedback.
  4. Alternatively, we could encourage him to develop hobbies, take a walk outside, and step away from the keyboard. It's all about balance. That said, I do enjoy your posts, @LoveNDino. Speaking of "outside," I'm stepping out on the terrace right now before it gets to 100 degrees. Thank God for my iPad and a big data plan.
  5. Your reply, @bigvalboy , triggered a memory. An escort I regularly hired worked at a video/gay bookstore in San Diego. The first time I saw him behind the counter I was buying lube for our playdate later in the evening. We both laughed. The next time we got together he asked me if I wanted him to pick anything up for me. I bumped into the same escort at Horton Plaza in downtown San Diego. That time, I gave him a ride home. I bumped into another escort who had retired at the farmers' market. He introduced me to his then-partner as a friend from the neighborhood. We did, in fact, live in the same area. A week later he broke up with said partner and was escorting again. Lastly, I was walking down the street and heard someone calling my name. It was a favorite escort from LA visiting San Diego. His visit was unplanned and was going to call me later in the day to see if I wanted to hook up. I saved him a call.
  6. That would also explain the relatively modest sum for the three vacations. I agree they do not need both the 5-series and the SUV. They also don't need that particular SUV. Then again, $400/month is a modest car payment, so they might as well have a nice car. Checking the MTA's fares, an unlimited 30-day MetroCard is $121. If they got rid of one car and both took the subway, they would spend an additional $242/month, so the net savings would be $158 plus gasoline. I'm assuming their parking is comped at the office. I read it as they go out as a couple once every two weeks and assumed they ate out or bought take-out/have delivery as a family several times a week. I won't mention that every couple I know who feels the need to have a designated "date night" has a rocky marriage. Well, they will not be able to afford the tuition at the rate they are going. They also won't be able to afford private school, so the kids will get (gasp) a public school education and, thanks to the couple's income, won't qualify for financial aid. Yeah, the same is true in Southern California and in Chicago. They all look the same. In fairness, for a family of four $10K/year is essentially $200/person per month. If that includes dental visits, birthday/holiday/anniversary/event presents, museum/sports/cultural outings it really isn't THAT much. Still, it seems some of that could be cut out when they are "living paycheck to paycheck."
  7. I can see requiring a car w/2 kids living in Brooklyn. That said, this reminds me of a couple I knew in college who got married and moved int a small condo in Chicago's Gold Coast. Of course, they didn't own a car - they walked, biked, or took transit everywhere. Eventually, they bought the condo next door and combined the two units. After having kids they didn't buy a car - they sent the kids to a very good public school that was walking distance from the condo and they rented a car when it was their turn to shuttle the team around or they visited family and friends in the suburbs. I commented once that it must be expensive to do all the shopping at the local Walgreens or supermarket. They said they did the math and they were saving money because 1) they did not have a car payment, insurance bill, or pay for gasoline and 2) didn't require a ton of storage for the large quantities they would buy at a Target or Costco. They also mentioned that trekking to Target for a "deal" required renting a car, so they thought twice about purchases.
  8. I'll give them a pass on the home - they live in NYC and $1.5 million buys an average apartment in Brooklyn. The article indicates they lease their vehicles, which is why the payments are relatively low. However, there's no reason they need two of them. I also question the gasoline. Where in the hell do they drive? The article mentions that parents in NYC, SF, and LA have the kids take lessons so they have an upper hand when applying to private schools. Where is THAT money, not to mention college tuition, going to come from? Agree on the number of cars. In regards to the taxes, take a look at the article. That's taking into consideration Federal, state, and city income taxes plus Medicare and Social Security deductions. I didn't see line items for health, dental, or insurance premiums, so my guess is "taxes" should actually read "deductions." Still, these people could make some cuts to avoid living paycheck to paycheck. Heck, they could move to Chicago, keep the salary, and spend less. No, actually, they wouldn't. They would still find a way to spend all of their money.
  9. I would: Get rid of at least one of the cars and trade the other in for a less costly model (in fairness, the payment on each car is reasonable, which leads me to wonder where they got the money for the down payment, as they are apparently only able to save $600/month) Cut the charitable contributions in half Eat two fewer meals out per week as a family (or cut out two take-out meals) and buy cheaper groceries Cut one vacation (although $6K/vacation for 4 people is not THAT bad) Reduce the driving - that figure seems high for NYC Reduce the children's lessons by half Stop contributing to the college alumni fund until after the student loans have been paid off Watch the "Miscellaneous" expense - $10K for stuff that comes up is excessive BTW: They live in Brooklyn. They don't need the two cars and the SUV doesn't have to be a Land Cruiser.
  10. Told ya!
  11. The background is actually the interchange between the 5 and 8 freeways in the Old Town area of San Diego. Sean Cody films in a house located in Mission Hills, which overlooks the two freeways and Old Town.
  12. And if the curtains weren't bad enough, now we have freeway traffic! http://str8upgayporn.com/sean-cody-jakob-lane/
  13. Just make a derogatory post about AhugeUNCUThairy. He will surface, I'm sure.

    Yup, its a play on words. By the way...the same jingle was used for both brands. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOhIJzZ1Lhg

    I wonder if hipster fisters use coconut oil instead? :rolleyes:
  16. Very funny. Makes me want some meaty, juicy thighs and creamy cole slaw.
  17. Always found Chance Caldwell to be creepy. Not sure I could get a massage from the man.
  18. Actually, I think he has the Photoshop Titanium plan.

    I've used olive oil.
  20. From the Yelp review of a supermarket wine department.
  21. No, they are not alone. My physician in San Diego emphasized condom use while on PrEP and my current doc in Phoenix does, as well. The current doc required that I complete a PrEP agreement, which addressed the blood and urine testing requirements as well as condom use in addition to PrEP use.

    Ray Dalton

    I exchanged a few messages with him but didn't hire thanks to schedule conflicts on my end. He was a real sweetheart when we were getting to know each others' likes/dislikes (mostly likes) and when I had to tell him that the timing wasn't right he was extremely understanding. If that extends to his escort sessions I think he would be a great guy to hire.
  23. I find it interesting that a new member who joined on April 24 is suggesting that a member who joined two years ago created a fake account because he is I am probably not alone in the belief that "always" is typically not equated to "the last eight days."
  24. I wish I could triple-like that.
  25. Here's a link to his reviews: LINK BTW: Reviews that were posted prior to the hiatus are still available. Just click on the "Reviews" link on the home page and you will be navigated to a search page. Happy hunting!
