Is it just me or is that a nose on the verge of collapse from coke use?

Could also be they have some nerve impingement in certain positions.

Eh, tbh I kind of agree. It's just not my cup of tea and a couple of the gay clubs I've been involved with seem to be all drag all the time in their fundraisers etc. Hell, half my local grindr grid is drag queens and the straight guys who chase them.

It's a big enough factor to put you in the priority list for treatment. I'm not taking about people who are 5 lbs overweight. I'm talking about people whi are heavy enough that it's effectively like having your lungs already impaired. If you are double the weight you should be, your lungs already have to work harder to oxygenate your blood( because you have more but your lungs aren't any bigger). So you're in danger from anything that impairs your lungs. Meanwhile smoking damage is cumulative...a younger smoker may not yet have totally destroyed their lungs. Older long-term smokers it's a bigger deal.

Has to do with oxygen uptake. More weight means more oxygen is needed and thus an impairment to your lung function is a bigger deal, all else equal.

40% of the people dying being vaccinated is absolutely not the same thing as saying 40% of vaccinated people who contract it are dying. There are about 350 people per day dying and about 100,000 new cases per day. That is well under 1%.

That last two sentences there have no logical connection whatsoever. The fatality rate of COVID for people who are vaccinated is far less than 1%.

Those premiums are far lower than what I was quoted in my 30s 15+ years ago. Your parents lucked out by getting it and using it before the market adjusted. A lot of companies went under and did not pay oit.

There are a few who don't bother with the stage name and just give you their real one.

I remember back in the 90s there was a bit of an ethical debate over whether to destroy the remaining smallpox laboratory samples, as it would mark the first deliberate extinction of a life form.

It's not "my" year, but I may crash the reunions this year because they invited the two classes whose 25th were cancelled by the pandemic to go, which means there will be 3 different classes I had overlap with in attendance.

I mean it's been on life support for a long time. Didn't the mansion close up fairly soon after Grindr came about 10+ years ago? They rewrote the code and took away functionality, of course nobody wants to pay them for that.

I'm not sure they means test you whether to provide a lawyer. I think you have the choice of paying for one or taking the one they give you. Most people with the means and reasonable judgment would choose to pay for their own, but this is a guy who has already demonstrated poor judgment.

In a work situation when it's internal I almost never bcc because I don't want twenty people forwarding it to each other "FYI". I'll occasionally bcc my boss on something just to keep him in the loop on what I'm doing.

As for not restraining him...the first class seats don't typically have the type of armrests you can tie someone to.

The US being having people from all over the world should be expected to be middle of the pack.

Eh, I think it's just basic street smarts for any woman meeting a man for the first time to do so in public and I don't think she should feel any need to tiptoe around that. Straight up say you're old school that way. If a guy has a problem with that, it's a red flag.

There are, but at least until fairly recently, I found the gay guys tended to sort of overdo it on the grooming in a way that is subtly feminine(e.g. eyebrows tweezed just a bit too much), and that's not the look I prefer.

Don't you have people on speed dial who can tag in?

You guys know generic Truvada is on the market now, right? I think in the haze of the pandemic this didn't get nearly the news coverage it warrants. It's far, far cheaper now, and I assume less likely the insurer will put up a fight.

There was a manager/announcer in the late 90s early aughts who had this incredibly sexy voice and was not a bad looking guy himself just not in stripper shape. Hope that's not the one who got killed.

I seem to have accidentally changed my display to white text on a black background and don't see how to change it back.

How many women has Travolta been linked with vs how many men? I think he might be bisexual, but he sure seems to "round up to gay." given you never hear about affairs with women. At least one of his kids were in vitro IIRC... He could be homosexual and heteroromantic even.

Most guys don't seem to get into the massage biz that early, particularly the formally trained ones. I think you'd have better luck buying your own table and chatting up your local go-go twink and see what he's down for if the age is a real requirement for you.

When I first went to the Gaiety in 1998 the going rate was $150 but what happened varied widely and there were always people (Chris from Baltimore comes to mind - wonder WEHT him...) who played the a la carte pricing game.
