  1. There are actually risks to standing all the time too. Basically you need to move as much as you can manage. Sam, physical therapy has made leaps and bounds in the last 20 years in terms of what they can do. I strongly recommend you check them out, and make sure to get one who spends the whole hour with you versus working on you with five other client. It hasn't eliminated my issues, but after nine months of doing the exercises they gave me I felt better than I had in decades.
  2. How exactly does the test reveal a cousin? They send you names of other customers who appear similar to you? That's not keeping your information private.
  3. When I was first dipping my toe in the water I would go to a bar after work. Little did I know that gay men don't go out until 11pm even on weeknights. I'd be the only person there except for a 70-year-old alcoholic in the corner, say to myself "I guess I am the only one" and go home. There are two gay rugby teams and you don't need to play to get involved with them or go to their social events - the DC Renegades and the DC Scandals. I think the latter may be "more" gay as it split off from the Renegades. But Renegades had a lot of military when the team was founded during Don't Ask Don't Tell - so they have generally been a little quieter about being a predominantly gay team than I think some might have liked. The competitive season is over but they will likely both be having fundraisers all winter as the Bingham Cup 2018 is in Amsterdam in June. Age range for the gay rugby teams is college age to 50s.
  4. Two of my college friends used a surrogate and my brother and his wife went through several rounds of IVF to have their kids. And I used to do a little reading on the subject when I was younger thinking about whether/how I would have children.
  5. Have you considered fertilizing a couple with donor sperm just in case? My understanding is frozen embryos hold up much better/have a higher success rate than frozen eggs, but that may be out of date info. Might be useful to have a backup in the event "Mr. Right" turns out to have fertility issues.
  6. When they say 1 or 2% anything take it with a huge grain of salt. They are looking at markers that are much more common in particular areas, not necessarily exclusive to those areas.
  7. I went to a wedding last year where a friend brought a plus one who was really just an acquaintance. I thought that was bizarre. And the invites were not "and guest."
  8. If these are all people in their 20s it's possible the friend didn't realize this was a "dinner party" and thought it was a "house party." Still should have run it by the host but if all their prior experiences were of the latter kind it's slightly more understandable.
  9. Yeah a friend who had been following the story elsewhere said that was what it was. But that then would seem to rise to a level where you'd think he'd get jail time. Though I suppose it also means he has the money to buy people off...or he has a little black book that includes the judge...
  10. Look how far apart the seats are in that commercial! And that's coach!
  11. Wait, this guy had DOZENS of hookers working under him and he only collected "up to $400/week?" Was he "The pimp who cares?"
  12. #notmysexiestmanalive
  13. I have a female friend in Kansas (godless liberal democrat) who thinks he's hot. I'm like maybe ten years ago if he actually hit the gym instead of this dadbod thing he's got going. He's not unattractive, but man he doesn't come close to working with what he's got. If he did he could merit the award. I think there's something about the midwest where they see a person as they would look if they tried to look good and react as if he looks that way.
  14. The law in that case is about traffic safety. Why the hell shouldn't someone be able to give someone else money if they want to?
  15. I think any numerical estimate would have an EXTREMELY wide margin of error. Also this study is only looking at escorts who advertise online. There are significant numbers of escorts who don't advertise because they get their clients through stripping gigs(I would say at least half of Adonis Lounge dancers are "available" but only a handful have ads, for example).
  16. I'm "Huscular" - "husky" but muscular. Too fat for the body Nazis, too fit for the bear chasers.
  17. I don't think crime stats bear out your assertion that the streets are meaner today than they were 25 years ago. For one thing, the murder rate is something like half of what it was back then. We just hear more about stuff because of social media.
  18. A "therapy hour" is 50 minutes. As long as you're getting that, they aren't IMO cheating you. But they should say "hour" instead of "60 minutes" when giving you their rates. Less than 50 minutes is definitely an issue.
  19. Yeah, I never give to anyone at an intersection. Aside from the risk to you, it's dangerous for them and you don't want to encourage it. Some of these morons are out there in dark clothing at night.
  20. Actually your facts aren't correct and we did rebuff them. The rate is half of what you said it is.
  21. If you're talking with a friend who has a tattoo, do you say, "I think tattoos are disgusting" or something a tad more diplomatic like "I don't care for them myself, but whatever floats your boat?" There's a difference between expressing an opinion and casting aspersions while you do it.
  22. There are fraternities that are predominantly Jewish. In fact, there was a mini-scandal at MIT in the early 1990s when the national of AEPi "reorganized" the MIT chapter ostensibly because they had a keg or something, then re-invited all of the Jewish brothers plus one non-Jew and kicked the other 70% of the house out.
  23. Massage and handjobs are certainly safer from an STD standpoint than full-on sex, but if you hire erotic masseurs, it's kind of a rude thing to describe people one step further on the same slippery slope you are on as "disgusting" and not expect some pushback.
  24. If most of them were passed out drunk themselves it's not clear they could form the intent. This is one of those things where some of them are definitely guilty of something but pinning it on specific members is trickier.
  25. Well, judging from my straight friends, that's about the time a lot of their wives stop touching them and they are looking for any outlet they can find short of actually fucking another woman.
