An early photo of John Waters?

I bet he could use some help tightening those straps! [swoon]

Ulcer, cancer or idiopathic thrombocytopenia Purpura. In my case there was no breath test and a stool sample failed to show it but a blood test did.

It’s not just 3rd or 2nd world countries. It can be anywhere hygiene is not pristine. It’s very prevalent here in very south Texas along the Rio Grand. So is Diabetes but for other reasons.

Yea but you don’t take Medicare

25-26? An overnight? I better check with my cardiologist. Have fun.

Thank you @purplekow . I forgot about the Pepcid.

I recently spent too much time in the oncology ward of a hospital in a big city. One day I turned on Scruff only to discover the goofy face of the art therapist who was trying to ameliorate our plight a bit. I smiled broadly at him thereafter. I think he knew why. i’ll not see him again. I’m cured (thankfully) and live 200 miles away. Besides the pic was goofy: not sexy. There were other staff members with more sexy profiles but I was confined to that ward and had a roommate.

Congratulations on being diagnosed. H.pylori is readily treated with 14 days of rather common (and inexpensive) antibiotics. I know. I was just so cured. But only after enduring a variety of expensive treatments for idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura a condition that ate my platelets (almost all of them) putting me in danger of bleeding to death internally. H.pylori can also cause ulcers or stomach cancer. I never knew I was infected. Several Hematologists asked if I’d been sick. I said no. I’d had no symptoms. But after 6 months of ineffective treatments, a local hematologist tested for H.pylori because here in south Texas along the Rio Grand it’s common. Sure enough I’d had it and the antibiotics did the trick quickly. Were I you, I would focus on getting prompt treatment for you and your partner. A fortnight of celibacy while on the antibiotics might be better than worrying about infecting your ever lov’n.

I’m thinking a remote cabin shared with a dozen uninhibited naked bodybuilders half of whom are blond and rest Asia or black. And should I expire in flagrant delicio there would be no need for assisted living.

Sorry @corndog . You’re assumption is correct. Now would you care to explain “TIAFFP”?

With or without cream and sugar? [swoon]

Reste en paix grand Cassandra!

Depends on where. In Kuala Lumpur the many “money boys” on Grindr charge between M Ringget 150 and 200. That’s about US$50. ps. It’s only about a 23 hour flight.

I think I’ve seen this image on countless covers pulp fiction romance novels. [swoon]

They have so much to show why stop at the nipples (as if you could)!

And I thought the Bentley hood ornament was spectacular.

Raisins currants and mixed candied peel I believe.

When I lived in NYC I awarded my yearly Grinch prize to the first store on Columbus Ave. with Christmas decorations. The prize went to a wine store whose “Santa” appeared before Columbus Day. Bah Humbug.

Does he have anything else he’d like to show? [swoon]

Come on up. The door’s unlocked.

Sorta a mixed message here. A wrestling singlet loosely draped over a wrestler’s body holding a basketball on a basketball court. [swoon]

Be still my libido!!

And considering that the movie brought in millions more than projected for the first weekend, I'm sure there will be sequels.

I bought my ticket for last Friday on-line thru Fandango. Yesterday I received from Airbnb an offer to stay at Highclere Castle (i.e. Downton Abbey). Unfortunately I’m busy this week.
