The legendary diva of the stage talks 'the dumbing down' of Broadway, her honest thoughts about 'Sunset Boulevard', and much more in this new interview. 
While Patti Lupone Vows She’ll Never Do Another Musical, She Is Singing Soon Onstage in L.A.
WWW.HOLLYWOODREPORTER.COM The performer, who'll present 'Patti Lupone: A Life In Notes' at LA Opera on April 20, talks about the "dumbing down" of Broadway, her honest thoughts...  

My city did this to a major thoroughfare which is lined with businesses and restaurants. They narrowed a two lane road (which lead traffic out of the downtown to the on-ramp of a major highway) to a one lane road, removed parking spaces and installed a barely-used bike lane to the anger of business owners. Mostly to appease the college students at three nearby universities.
After four years of traffic turmoil and a major loss to businesses, the new mayor (elected last November) has finally listened to the business community and angry drivers and has decided to remove the bike lane and revert back to the way things used to be by the end of May. It will cost taz payers a few hundreds of thousands of dollars to do this - same as it cost to install the bike lane in 2020. 

What a cute guy ! And what a great ass on him ! 

personally i wouldn't bother. i don't see how a drug related offense (especially in the past) is relevant to the experience they had or will have.

If the bike lane was barely used, then the college students who fought so hard for its installation didn't actually bother using it.  Note that the students didn't bear the negative economic impact, the business owners did.  I hope the local government increased the 3 nearby universities' property taxes to pay for the bike lane boondoggle, but I have my doubts.  The whole fiasco ended up as just a very expensive exercise in virtue-signaling.
If the 3 universities had sent out a letter to all the student activists that their tuition would go up $300 to pay for the bike lane, I wonder how many would still have favored it.  Life is so damn easy when you don't have to pay for the consequences of your actions.

The above clip with Dixie Carter in that costume only points to the fact that she should have seriously considered ALW's offer to take over the role of 'Norma Desmond' in 'Sunset Blvd' back in 1996. She would've been spectacular. 
But I agree - she would've been a great 'Mame'. 

I know nothing about doing my own taxes so I go to my CPA (who charges $275 for a simple tax return with no itemizations).  Anyhow, I had my appointment two weeks ago with him, and I owed* quite a bit more in fed taxes than I did the year before, even though nothing changed in my income. He explained to me that EVERYONE owed more this year due to a change in taxes in 2023, which not many people were aware of until they filed this year. As he said, "It snuck up on everyone - including him."  So it may not be you doing anything wrong - it's just the tax laws which have changed slightly.
 
*I might have said this before, but I will say it again. Years ago, when I was just starting out with my own business as a 'D/B/A', my CPA said it's always best to owe the feds money each April, rather than get a big refund. As he said, 'Why get a refund of a few thousand dollars ?  Why let the Feds use your extra thousands and then return it to you with no interest accumulated ? '  He said it's always best to owe them money - usually $200 or less is perfect (at least for my income).  So each year I owe - usually under $100.  Last year I owed $19.  This year - with the the tax laws changing as I mentioned - I owed $150. 

I think it needs celebrity names on the marquee to make it successful - just like Midler in 'Gypsy' and Jackman in 'The Music Man'.

I've been Mountain Biking for 30 + years.  I have two bikes hanging from my ceiling.  I'm also not sure road biking belongs in major cities and feel very conflicted about it.  I think I land on the "Your not out in rural America so don't act as if you are."  I mean, they lost 71 metered sites just so people can what?  Bike?

This is what the Mods told me: " Use the link below. Add user you want to block here. They will see your posts though."

So if you're tired of seeing posts, reactions, and DMs from any of the members (for example, you're tired of me, yours truly). You can add that person on that ignore list! You'll never see any of their stuff. They'll still see the stuff you post though, which is not too bad (It'll let them still obsess getting your attention, and they can still respond to your posts, but they won't know you've ignored their existence.)
Also, Ask for more clarification in the “ask a moderator” sub forum if you need more help. Happy Browsing!

He's heading back to RI in a couple of weeks. For $150, I might take another spin with him. Just need to wear ear plugs so I don't have to listen to him. 

He's back in my area this weekend, with a name change...

I'll be repeating. $150 for a muscular escort ? Not a bad deal. 

I did end up seeing Barak. He's very handsome for someone who will be 48 in a few days, and his body is beautiful. He loved talking about himself - especially about his time on the show. I'll have to admit the guy LOVES to brag about himself. The 'massage' was OK and lasted about fifteen minutes, and then it went straight into 'play' which I didn't mind. I'd probably repeat if I'm looking for an escort service (for only $150) than a massage.

Well, Sitges isn't exactly a "gay town." But it is one of Europe's premier gay holiday destinations and has tons of stuff for gay men. Not much for lesbians, though. 
In the top holiday months, the population of Sitges might be 30% gay -- especially in the summer and during the pride celebrations.

Using the word "hotlink" marks you as an authentic Old Timer. 
Wear that label with pride!  🥰

He lists charges per minute for various services. 
But he also says this: "It is up to the discretion of the therapist when to end the service depending on their needs."
Confusing -- to say the least! 😉

Are you "wondering" how much $$$ you want to lose on him? 😊

First, why is 24 "extremely low" for you? Is that not enough to choose a masseur?
Second, and perhaps you haven't considered this -- there just might be websites other than RentMasseur that bodywork providers use to advertise in Europe. 
Check out the Destinations > Europe forum to learn more. You've posted and commented there before. 
And you're in Spain right now, right? You've been posting from Europe this week.  So have you asked someone where to find masseurs when RentMasseur isn't enough for you?
