CVS in Arizona is distributing them at the front cash registers. I think "pharmacy" is being used instead of "drugstore."

I haven't received mine yet. Here in Phoenix the tests have become readily available. Even AJ's (a gourmet grocery that is part of the Bashas' chain) sells them.

I beg to differ. Oh, wait - sorry, different kind of milkman. 😹 Here are some new ones that should enter the repertoire: Social media influencer Bitcoin investor Day trader Broken phone screen repair guy Voice of connected home device that develops a human form and becomes sentient

It never ceases to amaze me how some people immediately go down a road leading to the most salacious, not to mention unlikely, outcome.

Sorry to hear that. What's his RM name now?

I agree with @Tygerscent. It could improve the reliability of RM's reviews.

I noticed you are still here on the Forum, @samhexum, so apparently you have not metamorphosized. But seriously, I hope all your tests turn out OK.

After working for my now-former employer for 18.5 years, in July 2021 my role ended as a result of a reorganization. I received a generous severance package and at 57 was able to take my retirement benefits. They aren't enough to live on, but they are certainly a plus. My package included nine months of outplacement, including the services of an executive coach. She has been very helpful, and I would encourage you to hire one who has experience with people in your profession and age bracket. You've mentioned being 58 and having 35 years at the same company a few times. You've also mentioned the number of people who report to you and the number of them who are managers. Do yourself a favor if and think beyond age, longevity, and number of reports. Instead, think in terms of the skills you bring to an employer. Managing a 230-member team with 20 leaders is irrelevant if you are interviewing with a retailer who has ten stores and 100 employees. However, leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills plus resiliency will be relevant. In a different post, you mentioned concerns had been raised about your leadership. I worked for someone I like quite a lot who happens to be 61 or 62. She learned how to be a leader in the 1980's and 1990's and it shows. One day we were chatting, and I just blurted out "1991 called and it wants its management style back." She laughed hysterically and said she was working on it. Given the concerns that were raised about your leadership you might want to ask yourself what decade your leadership style belongs in vs what decade we are in today. You might also want to ask yourself what steps you can take to address the concerns that were raised.

I've flown American and Southwest between Phoenix and Florida. On each of the flights the flight attendants were diligent about reminding passengers that masks are to be worn between sips and/or bites. The captain also made announcements to that effect.

Yes, they do. All people who earn income are required to report it and pay taxes on it to the IRS and pay into Social Security and Medicare. Whether they do is a different story. But back to the topic: I don't think there are fewer straight guys working as escorts, but instead there are more guys in general working as escorts. The result is/could be the proportion of straight guys vs the overall population has diminished because the overall population has increased.

I'm reading this with one cat planted on my lap and the other sitting on the arm of the chair with his head resting on my arm. This is after waking up with one cat on my right side and the other curled up between my legs.

The title of this thread made me think of the novella by Kafka. Let's hope you are still you when you wake up in the morning.

You can always put the waterproof sheet on the mattress and one of those microfiber blankets on top of the sheet. They are comfy and basically indestructible. Brown is my go-to color.

Not to take us off-topic, but how much time is required to get the quick charge? Back to topic: I addressed my personal gasoline crisis by buying a smaller car.

@mike carey, you paid the equivalent of US $4.81/gallon for diesel, which is higher than the average price here in Phoenix ($3.90) but lower than that in San Francisco ($4.95) according to the American Automobile Association (i.e. the motor club). I just paid $3.79 for a gallon of regular at the local Chevron. That station tends to be a little cheaper than other Chevrons, though.

Waterproof incontinence pads also work well. I buy these from Amazon Subscribe And Save.

"Teller of 'like it was' "

The last sentence of his ad raised a red flag with me: "Please note this is a non sexual experience."

At least they have a face shot.

Instead of Kathy Lee singing the welcome song they could have the Talking Heads sing:

@menaughty, please accept my condolences over losing your mother. You've received some solid advice and I'd like to add some of my own. Dallas has an LGBT center called Resource Center. I hoped they had a coming out group, but it appears they don't have anything like that for men. They do have a community center and referrals to counselors, which might be worth pursuing. Also, there is a coming out group on Reddit you might find beneficial. Lastly, welcome to our forum! You always have us to lean on. Please feel free to ask for help like you have done here. That's what we are here for.

The parent company filed for bankruptcy protection on January 20, but it appears Crystal Cruises did not. Had they done so, the Crystal Symphony mess might have been avoided.

@TruHart1, you made me think about something he said to me when we met. After explaining to him that bottoming is often difficult for me and the reason why he said "Don't worry - I am a professional and I know what I am doing. It won't hurt." We didn't get to topping/bottoming, but will do so next time.

Oh, that's easy! If you look at the photos while rotating backwards at 33 1/3 you receive a special message. But seriously...the only thing sillier is when a therapist posts a stock image of a massage table as one of their pics.
