overeasy

I was disappointed to read so many pannings of the movie Red White and Royal Blue.  It should not be surprising that a fantasy love story would not have the preciseness of a documentary nor the explicitness of a pornographic oriented work.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching good people being good to each other in contrast to the more common storylines of today.
It was refreshing to see expressions of intimacy born of true romance with warmth and tenderness rather than the typical farm-animal-like rooting and snorting gilded with feigned moans and sighs punctuated with juvenile outbursts of expletives. 
My other disappointment is that the possibility of a sequel appears uncertain, I was hoping it might blossom into a short series.

After "daddy" ungraded him, he still preferred just a Coke for the welcome drink! 

I took the plunge. Very eager to please  and an energizer bunny. I’ll repeat for sure. 🙂

I contacted him a little over a year ago to inquire about flying him in for a weekend visit.  Before the discussion could even begin he informed me, without voice communication, that he would need to have the names of  recent hires who were still advertising (I guess to contact for references?) or basically full prepayment of most of his honorarium in advance....in spite of the fact that I would be paying for the airfare up front.  I had been prepared, after an anticipated discussion of rates and dates and a little chit chat,  to set up an appointment since he seemed to have the look and presentation that appeals to me.  I told him that some of my hires had retired, although were still available, etc, and that I felt it in bad form to request information he might not want released if he was a recent hire.  Had to wonder if he would be ok if his name and contact info were released.   I have never cheated, misused or not totally respected any hire in over 20 years....and felt a little, no, a lot, insulted.  Not only did I not pursue hiring this handsome lad, I have not hired period since that attempt.  Guess maybe I should thank him for saving me money....

As we approach the 2nd Anniversary of @Guy Fawkes passing it’s a good time to ask yourself the question: If anything happened to me, who would know? 
@Guy Fawkes lived alone. No neighbor or friend knew he was in need of help. After not hearing from him for a couple of days, the police were called to do a Wellness Check. Sadly, he was found on the floor barely alive and, a month later, passed away  
The outcome might have been different had he been found sooner. For those of you who live alone do you have a contact person who would realize something might be wrong if they didn’t hear from you? If there is one thing we can learn for this loss its the importance of having that contact person. 
RIP: @Guy Fawkes
 
 

Charlie - Traditional economic view would probably support your decision....holds that if you would be paying more in interest than you could recognize in earnings from those funds, it makes economic sense to forego the debt....going back to my econ class days....Not to mention that you didn't go through the loan application process followed by the need to make the scheduled payments on an ongoing basis...
