The area had a snowstorm at the time he went missing. His chances looked bad. But he met his end doing something he loved.

Can you provide a link where you get this information? It seems incorrect. I can think of Sarajevo and Istanbul that have Pride events. So that would bring your "2" up to a total of 4 majority Muslim countries with Pride events.

Now that it's over it was certainly a sad outcome. But back to the OP No you are not insensitive. I recognized how the lamestream media was dishing up continual content about the incident and I chose to turn away or click away. Continual speculation and rehashing the likely outcome did not appeal to me yet I get how many are drawn to it. Gawkers are gonna gawk. At the point where a famous film director weighed in on the incident seemed a stretch. Honestly don't know why his opinion mattered because I wasn't paying attention but apparently to many it did. From an engineering standpoint one might ask how the design integrity was ever proven in the first place. Or more to the point, how they failed to understand time-to-failure was far less than whatever factor is expected for such a design. As someone stated above, at that depth it crushed like a bug.

Saw Yzhao again. 👍👍😁 I need to try his 4 hand option!

Muchova's facial expressions on court reminded me of a young Chris Evert. Loved that Evert was there for the women's final. Though Muchova took 1 set, Swiatek was so tough! Can anyone beat Djokavik at Wimbledon? He seems unbeatable

YouTube knows what I like. Plus, this guy is funny.

Did you read Flower of Iowa? Curious how In Memoriam compares.

If the rate is ASK, I've been inclined to pass. However a favorite provider recently updated his profile rate to ASK, though he didn't change his rates. He gives a top rate, skilled massage service and is a sweet guy. I may think twice from now on before deciding to pass on profiles with an ASK rate.

Taylor Swift is worth a mere $400,000,000 while Jeff Bezos new yacht cost $500,000,000. So Swiftonomics may not be all that we are conjuring in our head. That said, if the paycheck to paycheck crowd in here can afford to hire escorts, imagine the trophy hires available to folks with big money.

Yeah 300 is a lot. I agree.

I got a special 5.10% rate at my credit union 3 months ago, for new money. Was hoping they would come back with another special, but no. Your 5.25% at 24 months looks nice.

My credit union best CD rate just dropped from 4.5 to 3.5%. Surprised me. But doesn't matter, I just locked in 4.75% at Citibank. The concierge banker at the local branch was a young hot latino dude which was a bonus. More importantly he was extremely helpful, professional and polite.

He mentioned he'd be moving to another apartment so might have been in between availability. I don't rely on RM emails. I texted him directly. He was responsive.

I scheduled Joe today. Had the Thai combo. Nice guy. 👍

I tried booking him but not successful setting anything up when he advertised visiting Laguna Beach. I'd guess he has plenty of clients already but to be fair, does it really matter the reason it did not work out? Yes it can be disappointing, but people might want to chill out.

Did you book an appointment? Which masseur?

I read Time Out's 3 star review of Brokeback Mountain, now playing in London's West End. That Mike Faist and Lucas Hedges are cast as Jack and Ennis is enough for me to look past middling reviews. Would love to see their stage performance. I expect I would enjoy it enough to overlook any complaints by the tortured theater queens. But chances are I'll not have the pleasure. Runs until mid August. from Belfast Telegraph article Time Out 3 star review

Has anyone tried Billy? He's there tomorrow and Saturday.

The Kite Runner. I listened to the audiobook. Although an immensely popular book, I found myself getting impatient and even angry with the author. I just could not understand how the main character Amir allowed himself to behave in so many despicable ways. Afghanistan is a culture I would not want to live under. I could not bring myself to empathize where the author probably expected the reader to. It felt manipulative and melodramatic. If not for the sweet and noble Hassan I would not have kept on.

I didn't want the thread polluted with your nonsense. It worked for my purposes. Just because you were a doctor is not that important. Many do not consider you such an authority you expect we might.

1. Last of the Wine (Spoiler) How Alexias realizes a dead soldier being carried away was his lover Lysis. Devastating, poignant writing. Before battle, Lysis was worried one of Alexias sandals needed repair. Though the dead body being carried was covered, "the feet were showing beneath the cloak and one of the sandals was mended." The reader then knows Lysis must have traded sandals with his young love Alexias, and had died in battle. 2. A Boy's Own Story It begins with a late night boat ride with his dad on the lake in Michigan. Hemingway-like. There were other memorable scenes, e.g. Stonewall, in the Edmund Trilogy but this is the one I think of. 3. Giovanni's Room Near the beginning. It's morning. David and Joey are naked, in bed. David watches beautiful young, innocent Joey sleeping. David gets up and leaves. I always think how the sweet Joey had dodged a bullet, to be rid of David.

I just finished Young Mungo. Fun fact for those that read it. +++++++++++++++++++++++ The hairdressing student Young Mungo met outside the pawn shop was Shuggie Bain. You can Google that. A24 is working a TV series Young Mungo. The two books share similarities. Young Mungo is well written IMO. I enjoyed it more.

For sure. He gave me creepy vibes.

I returned on time for the 2nd dose today, even though I did have the smallpox vaccine in the past. Weighing the input from this thread and other available information, getting a 2nd dose made the most sense for me. Plus, there was this hot young latino doctor in form fitting scrubs working today. Nice view. Sigh! I recommend that clinic. 😁
