A serving of cereal is nowhere near a meal's worth of calories.

Seegey appears to be back on the schedule assuming it's the same one.

I'm not so sure how true that is given the people moving into that cohort are the ones less likely to have a pension, more likely to have married later, and borrowed against their houses to send their kids to college. The average wealth might be higher but I suspect the median is slipping.

Well a few stated have assisted suicide now so if you reach a certain age and have some conditions you would prefer not to progress, you can choose to not go on...

I don't buy the narrative and think the government has actually made the problem worse with the crackdown(note deaths have soared since the restrictions). I come from a family with addictive tendencies and didn't get hooked. The people I grew up with who wound up getting hooked were pretty universally the kind of kids who eagerly looked forward to getting their wisdom teeth out because they'd be getting pills to use recreationally. Those people arw still finding their pills while bedbound people in unremitting nerve pain are being told to take Tylenol. I have a relative with a Stage 4 bedsore and they're being miserly with the narcotics because of these stupid state mandates that only affect the helpless people who aren't addicted and even if they were are in no position to cause other problems because of it.

There have been many medical advances since your grandparents' time. I'd say compare their ages at death to life expectancy for their birth year for that calculation. My grandfather died at 77 in 1970 of hepatitis from a blood transfusion. But he was working full time as a hotel manager at that age. If not for that event that current screening methods would prevent, and even if it didn't, is treatable today, he'd probably have made it to 90. My other grandfather died of complications of diabetes at about 70 in the 1960s, but today with insulin pumps etc. more people are able to successfully manage it. Pops died at 62 but he was a chainsmoker of unfiltered cigarettes for 50+ years. I'm not going out like he did. I figure barring random cancer/accidents/brain aneurysm, most not-financially struggling people who generally take care of themselves can expect to get to 80something. After that it's a crapshoot. There doesn't seem to be dementia in my family tree, but I do worry about mobility.

Seems cheaper to return this stuff, than, say, to honor any of the various treaties we're in continual violation of with them.

Info from your youth is out of date today. Back then Hoboken was poor and now it's full of millionaires. All those small NJ cities along the Hudson have changed a lot in the last 30 years.

Dude, come on. There's what you say and how you say it.

I had a childhood friend who is just about 3 months older than me. I remember going to his third birthday party and thinking I was still only two. Also remember my sister's birth five months later, and getting to carry her to the front of the house in the cardboard box the hospital gave you with new children back then(this was before car seat laws). Please note I was taller, stronger, and heavier than the typical 6 year old at age three so this isn't as negligent as it sounds...

Girls, girls, you're ALL pretty!

Given there are many different strains of HPV, you should get the vaccine even if you've already had it. Your Dr should have been able to tell you if the strain you have was a low or high risk strain for becoming cancerous. If s/he didn't do that testing, time for a new doc.

I have a Fitbit. I don't think it's super ACCURATE. But it's consistent, and that is useful.

Dave Angel Wing was incredibly hot, but I went to talk to him and the cigarette breath was so powerful I just walked away. I've never encountered anything thst str9ng before or since and my dad was a Pall Mall chainsmoker.

But 200 bucks here and there isn't going to ruin someone. If it is, they were kind of already screwed.

Like lots of people can rent a day of luxury and take a picture to post to social media. Doesn't mean it's anything like theire day to day existence.

You see people claiming to do it on Twitter, but are they really? Are there THAT many people of means who can do this who don't have anyone else in their lives who would notice?

Short of mutilation this has got to be the most self-destructive.fetish out there. I really don't think there are too many people into it as subs though, because the rentmen who advertise the service still seem to live in the same shitty apartments 15 years later.

Yeah that's him the Army part I remember. Maybe he was stationed there?

For a real legit massage that's why you want to go to an Eastern European guy they just get in there and work the glute.

He was tall (6'4") blond and fairly buff would think muscular before lean as the descriptor. He could pass for Swedish lookswise but he was defitnitely American - no accent. Maybe for marketing purposes he said Swedish and that well could have been his lineage. But 98% sure he was from Alaska.

Gaiety was my first hire too...Thomas from Alaska. A bit of a dud, so I considered TJ/Scott Anthony(RIP) my official first. Then there was Chris from Baltimore, Jeff(the big Canadian bodybuilder/boxer), Jonathan(cute Canadian twink who sometimes did a backflip onstage)....and a few others.

Tangent: when I was 39 i got almost no hits on my dating profiles, because that's the age a lot of people list who are anywhere from 1-50 years older. But once the age field said 40, the daddychasers came out of the woodwork.

I think the other credit cards have jacked up their merchant fees and the gap is smaller than it was in years past.

It's very hard to tease out correlation/causation on college degrees and earnings since employers made them a requirement and simultaneously the collapse of unions led to plummetting wages in most jobs that don't require a degree. But you absolutely shouldn't go six figures in debt in your early 20s unless it's to be a doctor. Too many people go to the "best" school they got into(i.e. most expensive) asuming it will all work itself out and that simply isn't how it works anymore.
