    I just noticed Kyle Hendricks of the Cubs is tied for the major league lead in wins with 14. Pretty crazy for a team 18 games under .500 to have the MLB wins leader. 

    Consistency has always been Hendricks' calling card.

    He hasn't had a season ERA above 4.0 since his sophomore year of hight school.

  2. The group of us are trying to gain access to Guy/Daddy's apartment and keys.

    If you are not not extremely well versed in computer issues, PLEASE do not destroy any meta-info that may be needed to needle inside Mister Wizard's empire. His machines are sitting there ready to serve. If you move them without taking proper precautions they may never recover. (And that's only half of the equation anyway.)

  3. How does that go on now? I had set up a recurring payment (monthly) to Daddy, so I don't forget. It's a physical check; will that be sitting in a PO box that nobody has access to?

    "We" don't know. At this point in time, I am unaware of anyone who has gained access to his PO Box, but this could be completely wrong. I just have not been informed of it so I can not give informed advice.

     

    Personally, I would suspend sending payments until new management stands up and says "HERE WE ARE AND HERE'S WHAT WE'LL DO".

  4. I have no business experience, and I barely understand the Internet. Can someone please explain to me where the money comes from to run a website like this one, which has no advertising or membership fees?

    Almost 100% Member contributions.

     

    There are advertising fees from flirt4free.com, but my understanding is that it was negligible. (But it did get us invited to their partner Christmas party at Playboy Mansion a few years back. :D)

     

    Hooboy accepted contributions, but for the most part he self-funded. Daddy continued that lacking Hooboy's resources.

  5. Message Forums, in general, have been a more-or-less dead format with waning interest for many years. Much of the content formerly in forums has migrated to things like Facebook Groups (and whatever the other platforms call the same feature).

     

    Can't you just see a Male Escort Pinterest board? Well, sure, the topic is a little risky -- the PTB will drop the axe quickly. There are a few topics that "polite" society finds verboten and we're one of them. <sigh>

  6. The St. Louis Cardinals play here in Philadelphia next month. There is seating available on the third base line.

     

    Almost all MLB teams have local approval for some level of fan attendance this year.

     

    Of course if Philly in early April is anything like Chicago in early April, they can KEEP those tickets! LOL

  7. Hey Guys,

     

    Would anyone know how to find the urls for the images on RM with a MacBook or do reverse image search for RM photos on a MacBook?

    On my old PC I would just use the left click and copy it but since I switched to a Mac I have no idea how to do that now. Any help is appreciated.

     

    Thanks

    I assume you mean right-click on a PC since left-click wouldn't do anything.

     

    On a Macbook you should be able to get an "alternate click" (right-click) with a two-finger tap on the track-pad.

  8. Some of my friends think it tastes like soap. I'm wondering if that reaction is genetic?

     

    Maybe. I was raised by a farm girl who fed us all manner of home-grown vegetation and learned to like absolutely all of it. Eat what you grow, grow what you eat. Yum.

     

    But the first time I tasted pork carnitas in a taco covered in cilantro I took one bite and spit it out. The pork was great, but the cilantro was awful.

  9. Off topic, I know, but some years ago I went to the hilarious Dame Edna Everage Farewell Tour. She several times referred to her therapist, "Dr. Schadenfreude."

     

    And I'm wondering why NOT ONE of the gays around here posted the Broadway explanation of the term:

  10. Interesting factoid:

    Stocking items on a retail shelf in cut-open boxes is called PDQ Master Packing. It was developed by WalMart to speed up stocking shelves. PDQ stands for “Pretty Dam Quick.”

    (Whisper: it's the way we did it when I worked in a grocery store in the 1970's. ;))

  11. As a teenager I worked at a grocery store, sometimes stocking shelves. As a kid with bronchial issues already, the soap aisle was really deadly. I could end up calling out sick for two days just for filling up those shelves.

     

    You do you. But understand you may have an impact on someone else.

  12. I get furious that people don't wear masks around others . No one knows who has the virus and is spreading it but we do know a huge number do and it's much more contagious than anything we've experienced before. Not wearing a mask is a huge Fuck You to people you pass or go in a store with. If masks were law here, as in several countries, our infection and death rate may be halved.

     

    This post takes me back many years to the earliest days of the AIDS epidemic. Apparently we didn't learn anything from that.

  13. Robster's tool worked, but what's Snip and Sketch (i.e. through what application does one access it)?

    In Windows 10 (actually it goes back to Windows 8), open the start menu and type snip.

     

    The start menu will show you the program. From there you can right-click and pin it to the start menu or the taskbar. Or you can just do the search each time. I don't know how often you want to do screen shots.

  14. Some of the preparation for a pandemic is a lot like preparation for any kind of widespread disaster, like an earthquake

    Yeah, it's like preparing for an earthquake or a tornado or a hurricane. Some of us have been doing it out of habit for years. I will admit I took a mental inventory and need to update the deep freeze with meat. I've become a little lazy there. But for dry goods and pantry items, I can probably go several weeks.

     

    I'll probably pick up some extra hand sanitizer this weekend. I suspect that will be in short supply once full-blown panic sets in.

     

    I overheard a local yahoo discussing plans to put barbed wire around the periphery of his property. Something tells me nobody wants to visit him anyway.

     

    It's all basic common sense, which is anything but common.
