    sutherland got a reaction from TruHart1 in Opera and Porn   
    If you like opera and porn, this tenor shows off a very attractive ass at the conclusion of the cabaletta in Act II of Rigoletto -

    sutherland got a reaction from + Charlie in Montserrat Caballe   
    It was the steely quality of Caballe's voice that never appealed to me.  Also in the Bel Canto repertory she lacked the notes above High-C. She made studio recordings of Lucia di Lammermoor and I Puritani without the High-Ds and High-E flats that we got from Callas, Sutherland, and Sills.  Yes, I do love the thrill of sustained high notes.
    That said, I can appreciate the elegance of her phrasing, the phenomenal breath control, and the high pianissimo notes. The ease with which she ascends to the High-C in "O patria mia" from Aida has never been matched.
    Her daughter tried a singing career but didn't get very far.

    I used to listen to Ric Edelman's radio program religiously. He always said to ask a new broker if he/she is a fiduciary (check with finra). You need a broker who takes a flat fee and does not get a commission.

    Thanks for the advice. One of my brokerage accounts is with Fidelity and I'll look into it

    I have created a ladder of 3-month T-bills.  They are only taxed on our Federal income tax, unlike CDs that are taxed on both Federal and Local income tax returns (unless you're lucky enough to live in Florida, Nevada, etc. where there is no local income tax). When the recession hits I'll have maturities on a regular basis and put the money into the market at rock bottom.

    sutherland got a reaction from Marc in Calif in New French guy at Villa Gianni in London   
    I would not use the adjective 'ugly'. I would say that the boys there are average looking.  I, personally, find latinos attractive so I have a penchant for the Brazilians that work at Villa Giani.
    During my visits there the manager always asked if I was satisfied with the boy I hired.  That would not allow for the 'bate and switch' problem I have had on several occasions when hiring escorts online.

    Hi Gentlemen,
    I have just returned from Amsterdam and London and here is what happened when I visited the gay brothels in those cities-
    Boys Club 21 (Amsterdam) - I went to the location at Spuistraat 21.  The last I heard was this club opened at 4pm Thursdays thru Sundays only.  Unfortunately, on the door was a sign that said "By appointment only in February" and there was a phone number on the sign.  I did not call.  This brothel's web site has not been functioning for some time and its Facebook page hasn't had any recent updates
    Villa Giani (London) - this place is located in the basement of a residential building and I've been there before, most recently in 2019.  There is no signage outside.  When you ring the doorbell the working boys run into a back room in which they stand behind a glass window.  The 'madame' lets you in and you view the boys through the window and make a selection.  They boys are generally Latinos in their early 20s.  You are then given a room with a double bed, atmospheric lighting, and background music.  The place closes at 8pm so 7pm is the last time to pay £130 for an hour-long session.  My visit there on a Friday afternoon was not a success.  I was shown 3 average-looking Brazilians.  The madame told me that another Brazilian and an Irish guy were with clients and he showed me their photos; I left.  I returned the next day and there was only 1 guy working at 4pm - a Brazilian.  He was cute with a nice personality and we had a good time together.  You are given wet towels to clean up at the end of your session.

    That topic has been discussed here and 6 years, or more, is common. From what I see the worst offender is Brendon Cage whose rentmen ad gives 38 as his age.  He is really 53 (and a grandfather)
