I was picked up at Whole Foods by a guy who kept bumping into me and commenting on the food (nice carrots, wow! look at that zucchini, those are some plump sausages, etc). He walked home with me and offered to "help put away the groceries." Then there was a guy I hooked up with who I later learned was an Ameritech (local phone company) technician when he showed up to my home to hook up a second phone line, wearing his uniform completely unzipped and no underwear. When he was finished with the phone line we hooked up. He traded a blow job for getting a friend's phone connected when a shortage of technicians (after a merger and layoff) would have delayed her getting a phone by six months. I also blew the technician who connected my friend's phone.

There was a Mintboys ad that turned out to be for something like this. The whole thing sounded weird, and I just couldn't go through with meeting any of the guys the advertiser supposedly represented. If you feel uncomfortable with the offer then take a pass.

The link above doesn't work, but I think this is the one we are looking for: https://www.companyofmen.org/topic/89924-411-on-gymast-from-la/#elControls_1054502_menu Scroll down for the intel.

I've hired https://rent.men/Monkeypoxvaxed and would not repeat. He used to advertise under TeddyHunter. You can PM me for any details. I exchanged messages with https://rent.men/SanDiegoDreamBoy but our schedules did not mesh and we never got together.

@JEC, I'm with you on chicken thighs in soups and chili. My sensitive tummy can't handle beans, but garbanzos and hominy are OK. I might sub one of those ingredients for the beans.

Moderator's Note: Stop the sniping and stay on the topic of Pine-Sol and Clorox cleaners that have been recalled.

Oh, no! I'm so sorry to hear this sad news. :(

I've picked up three prescriptions within the course of three weeks at Safeway and each time they offer me a flu shot. I intend to get it this weekend.

Sorry to hear about your experience. An escort who advertises on Rentmen in LA had a Mintboys profile in Phoenix, so I reached out to him using his RM contact. Needless to say, he was not in Phoenix and thanked me for alerting him to someone who was using his pics.

Recognize this is a little late but have some insight to share. I bought a Breville Smart Oven Air about five years ago and love it. I've only used the air fryer feature a couple of times and it was OK. What I like is it uses less power, heats up more quickly than my oven, and throws less heat into the kitchen than the oven does. I can bake a couple of chicken breasts and roast vegetables or kale using the oven feature. It also does a nice job broiling, which is helpful when I don't want to run down to the grills in my building's courtyard. It is big enough to roast a small turkey or a turkey breast. The current model is called the Joule, I believe. To me, it is worth the price and the space it takes up on the counter.

In addition to all of the options still being there, the search functionality has improved. In the previous version, each time you checked a box, the filter was applied and the results were refreshed. If you wanted to search on, say, six attributes the page had to refresh six times. In the current version, you choose the options, click a button, and see the results. I like the new site design, but am skeptical that they will be ready to launch when they say they will.

Welcome back! Looks like you have acquired a couple of n's while you were away.

I just received my second Jynneos and COVID booster on Tuesday. Maricopa County (in which Phoenix is located) runs a very well-oiled vaccination machine. It took less time to get checked in and get jabbed than it did to find a parking space.

Looking at his profile text I suspect he's trying to drive traffic to an OnlyFans/JustForFans site.

My guess is a glitch withing Rentmen. Their app was supposed to launch this week (or maybe last) but now the banner reads 64 days. Something tells me all is not well within RM.

Another option is to ask your physician about prescribing a 90-day supply. Before I was required to use a mail order specialty pharmacy, Safeway suggested a 90-day supply and worked with my doctor to switch the script. It was easier for everyone.

Moderator's Note: The topic of this thread is not "Commentary about other Forum members," it is "ivyleaguehungvers." Please stick to it. In days of old, @Guy Fawkes (may he rest in peace) would suggest it was "time to order pizza." For the new folks, that meant "it is time to cut the bullshit or else the thread gets locked and we klunk heads together." We are getting close to having pizza.

That little dog is adorable! Thanks for posting.

His rentmen ad was hidden long before monkeypox arrived on the scene.

What you are referring to is called "pass through" deposit insurance, which is how balances held on prepaid debit cards, services like Venmo and PayPal, and non-bank Fintechs such as Chime are insured. Wise does not work like that. Per their Customer Agreement, "...Holding A Balance in your Borderless Account Wise is not a bank and your Borderless Account is not a bank account. The specified bank account details that we provide to you in order for you to receive funds from third parties are for accounts held by Wise and its affiliates (and we will credit your Borderless Account, which is held by us, upon receipt of such funds), and are not for a bank account held by you. Value held as a balance in your Borderless Account represents an unsecured claim against Wise and is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other deposit protection scheme. Wise invests balances held by its customers in permissible investments in accordance with state money transmitter laws. Wise owns the interest or other earnings on these investments, if any. Wise does not use balances held by its customers for operating expenses or other corporate purposes and will not voluntarily make such funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. For further information on how we look after your money, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page..." Searching for "safeguarding" on the website lead to this: Despite their claim of providing "radical transparency," they don't list the institutions that hold their funds in the US. Not that it matters, as they don't offer pass-through deposit insurance. Regarding their being a publicly-traded company, Citibank, Bank of America, and Washington Mutual were all long-standing institutions that were traded on public stock exchanges at the time of their failures. Citi and BofA received "open bank assistance" (i.e. a bailout from the FDIC) to remain open and WaMu was seized and sold to JP Morgan Chase. In all three of these cases, routine business continued. If Wise becomes insolvent there will be no rescue. If you are using Wise to maintain a small (i.e. less than $1K) balance while on a trip, they might be worth the risk assuming you are comfortable with their fees and the hassle of maintaining one more bank-like account. I haven't done an analysis, but I suspect their total fees and the fees charged for non-US transactions by a US bank probably end up being the same or similar.

A couple of things jumped out at this former retail banker: Deposit Insurance: Funds on deposit with Wise are not insured, as are funds on deposit at a bank. If they become insolvent, you have no guarantee that you will receive your funds. Their "Help" section states depositors' funds are "safeguarded" by being deposited into bank accounts that are separate from Wise's corporate accounts. While it could be true that the funds would not be available to creditors in the case of insolvency, there is no guarantee the depositor will receive all of their funds up to the $250K maximum set forth by the FDIC. Absence of FDIC Supervision: The FDIC does more than insure deposits. They also ensure that failed institutions are resolved as seamlessly and orderly as possible. In 99% of bank failures, the FDIC appoints a different bank to assume the deposits of the failed institution and the depositors are able to access their money as if nothing happened. Additionally, the FDIC requires institutions to demonstrate they can maintain operations in case of a failure. This is done by conducting an annual takeover simulation, evaluating the results, and making them available for the FDIC to examine. Having participated in these exercises over the course of 10 years I can tell you they are rigorous and one tiny mistake can land you in a vat of boiling oil. (as it should when handling ither people's money) Squishy language about regulations: They claim to be regulated by FinCEN (The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network). That's technically incorrect. They are required to register as a money transfer business with the US Department of the Treasury, of which FinCEN is a program. It's OK to make little mistakes in casual conversation, but regulatory language needs to be correct. Makes me wonder what other mistakes they make.

Moderator's Note: This topic was split from one about PrEP and PEP because it is an important discussion but strayed away from the original topic.

I received the first shot in my forearm on September 1. A week later, it looks like a mosquito bite - slightly raised red welt. The nurse mentioned it might itch (like a mosquito bite) but it doesn't. It is just red.

Am I the only one who sees the humor and irony in the notion that "other people being triggered" is, in itself, a trigger worthy of two pages worth of commentary?
