  1. We're all going to go to hell .... but I'm not sure about prison
  2. We all know that Derek Atlas's moral compass is set in the wrong spot - he lies about his age, sets up appointments with clients and doesn't show up, and he's gone to prison more than once. I'm now concerned about your moral compass, Mr. Purplekow. Please explain how a morally virtuous human being who is 44 can legitimately claim to be 36
  3. I suspect Jake Cruise had a lot of money to pay top-level hunks like Apollo Phoenix, Zeb Atlas, Arpad Mikos, and Brenden Cage to appear with him in videos
  4. Here's a video of Apollo Phoenix, using the name Joe Thunder, in a video with Jake Cruise - Jake Cruise and Joe Thunder Cc73 P1: Gay Blowjob Porn | xHamster If you go to mymusclevideo.com and search Joe Thunder a few more videos with him are available

    Any ad that I see on rentmen that lacks a face photo is an ad that I ignore
  6. Of course the tax laws can change dramatically, but the RMDs associated with my IRA will occur at a time when I'll be earning a pension from my job plus Social Security. I've known people whose retirement income was higher than the salary during their working years. Looking at the figures, it's better for me to pay $10k in taxes now with the Roth conversion rather than $20k in taxes in 2040. Also, hoping that I make good investment decisions, the 2040 balance on my Roth IRA will be much higher than my IRA balance now, so I'm happy to see that future investment income as tax free
  7. This year I'll convert cash from my IRA to a Roth IRA. This is my first Roth conversion and I plan to do it annually for the several years. I've done my homework and I understand why the conversion has its benefits. I'll only convert from my IRA a sum that will put my taxable income at the upper limit of my tax bracket, without bumping me into a higher bracket. Have any of you done a Roth Conversion only to regret it later?
  8. An interesting article in the March 2026 issue of AAII Journal (which I received today) looked at decades of dollar-cost averaging versus lump-sum investing. Lump-sum investing outperformed. Here's an interesting quote from the article for those against going in lump-sum : 'You must think that stocks are going to go up, or you wouldn't be buying them. Why do you think stocks will go down first? if you think they're going to go down, why buy them at all?'
  9. I've been looking at his ad for a few months now since I prefer middle-aged muscle hunks. I wish I could see a face picture
  10. Caruso, Callas, Pavarotti, Fleming, etc. all had some negative critics. I've met opera fans like Mr. Pons in the past, whose attitude is "I, truly, am one of the few who know great singing. You cannot fool me. The people running the operas houses in Vienna and New York don't know, but I know". Those of us who attend the opera on a regular basis all have our own opinions.
  11. Simply put - I was so scared that I was not sexually active with other men. I rented a lot of porn videos during those years.
  12. Have any of you discovered the Vocal Reckoning channel on youtube by ex-tenor Emilio Pons? Here is his review of the Met's Tristan und Isolde and, at 12:25, he says Ryan Speedo Green was horrible -
  13. You wouldn't turn away the guy in the selfie, but would you pay the same price? I wouldn't pay the guy in the selfie the same amount as the guy in those photos that are now over 10 years old
  14. Someone once said to me "a cluttered home is a cluttered mind" and I live in a very minimalist environment. It works for me and when I have to move into an assisted living facility it won't be difficult to downsize
  15. Here is his ad, claiming to be 36 though he's 44 this year - DerekLV - Male Escort, Gay massage - Las Vegas | Rent.Men
  16. I don't know who Mr. Chalamet is but, as an actor, would he say: "Who wants to see King Lear when Dancing with the Stars is so much more an enriching experience". He probably is 100% Hollywood - superficial and dumb
  17. I have only seen Tristan und Isolde twice - Heppner & Eaglen, Robert Dean Smith & Voigt. Both sopranos were good. The third act is murderous for the tenor. Heppner, IMHO, was the most overrated tenor of his generation and he never made history as a Wagnerian tenor. Robert Dean Smith had a light voice and Tristan was not his role.
  18. as the saying goes: "Time in the market is more important than Timing the market"
  19. Big Frank appeared as a guest on the Robin Byrd Show. If you want to see Frank's ass as he dances go to the site below, scroll down; on the lower right you'll choose "Archive of Show Dancers". Then you'll click on the left "Frank 1" and "Frank 2". www.robinbyrd.com/robinbyrddotcom/main.html
  20. Nothing more depressing than negative reviews about a provider with phenomenal looks and a phenomenal body.
  21. Miss Price has mentioned that Sam Barber composed some of "Antony and Cleopatra" whilst visiting her at home and enjoying the delicious meals prepared by her companion Lulu Shoemaker
  22. I know somebody who knew Miss Price and was actually inside her house. While she was living there the house definitely did not have 4,576 square feet of livable space with 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms.
  23. Acc. to the streeteasy ad "5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms". The architect must be a genius to fit 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms into such a tiny house. He/she must have extended the house in the back, reducing the size of the garden
  24. I've heard that singers like Terfel and Kaufman are very family oriented and prefer to stay on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean to be close to home. Rehearsals and then a run of performances in NY would require a commitment of 5 weeks or more. Cecilia Bartoli does not like to fly (she's said that in interviews) and she may get higher performance fees in Europe. I have never heard Lise Davidsen sing live, but don't you think Cecilia Bartoli is the more important singer of the two? .... albeit singing very different repertoire. On a side note, the finest female singer I ever heard in my entire life was Sydney's own Joan Sutherland.
  25. Does the Australian government subsidize Opera Australia in any way? The Met Opera apparently gets very little money from our government; it relies on the generosity of wealthy benefactors. I read once that if the Met were to sell out every performance it would still only generate 50% of the annual budget. The other 50% has to come from other sources. The other problem is a lack of star singers willing to come to the USA. If Cecilia Bartoli, Bryn Terfel, or Jonas Kaufman were on the Met roster it would be easier to sell tickets.
