  1. Tattooed New Yorker's report NASTY skin conditions... http://www.citylab.com/work/2015/05/tattooed-new-yorkers-report-all-kinds-of-nasty-skin-conditions/394304/
  2. In order to get a required business license in LA, I had to submit a document stating the amount of traffic I expected at my home. Fortunately they didn't ask about after hours providers.
  3. My grandmother said upon exiting the grocery, "Prices in there are high as a cat's back!" i still imagine the prices rising as she walked past the shelves just as a cat's back arches. Before and after Granny walked by the prices were normal, but as she walked past they rose 50% or so.
  4. In the little enclave I grew up in, the shopping cart is known as a buggy. "You get the buggy, I'll be in Produce."
  5. I've followed these suggestions the last 7-10 years. Get back to what's natural and moderate the amount I eat. Butter is soo much better than margarine, etc. if you start checking the ingredients, you'll see that the substitute for fat in low-fat items is usually a man-altered sugar, like high-fructose corn syrup. Lowering fats in food ruins their flavor, so why not stick some sugar in there? It's still low-fat! NOT! I'm all FOR coconut oil, especially in my popcorn! But Moderation is key. I stopped the olive oil in pasta cooking water - Olive Oil is 120 calories per table spoon. That's a sneaky way to make a 400 calorie dish of pasta into 600-700 calories. I save the Olive Oil for the pasta sauce!
  6. You anticipating gaining a discount from those cut for religious reasons during the High Holy Days? WHAT BALLS!!!
  7. It might be time for our enemies to believe one of us would finger the button... remember Teddy Roosevelt? Speak softly and carry a big stick. Where's our big stick?
  8. As told in HS Drama Class Awards Ceremony by the Teacher "A teacher, a lawyer and a priest on a plane. The plane was going down and the teacher says we have to save the children. The attorney says "F*** the children!" and the priest says "OOOOH..Do we have time for that???" http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Angry-mom-School-awards-ceremony-featured-swearing-sex-toys-261759461.html
  9. um. I'm thinking I need to wear short shorts next time BVB is buying Bombay Sapphire on the West Coast. :o
  10. Don't forget Honorable Mention - "I Found A Cadillac Of A Woman In The Back Seat Of My Chevy"
  11. I agree with Bozo, circumcision is to Jewish conversions what baptism is to Baptist conversions.
  12. McSpider, you're replying to a post from 7/20/12, in thirteen months surely verymarried has learned what he needed or lost interest.
  13. But hey, if he's sticking cigarettes in his mouth, HE'LL STICK ANYTHING IN THERE!
  14. Every ONE of these responses are AWESOME! Thank YOU!
  15. It's 81 here in the Valley, and humidity is about 50. But seriously, you're retired, you can pull off "Mall-Walker" easily...
  16. How do 70% of the people get those prescriptions? Who's prescribing all those 'scripts? Without even considering the number of individuals who are not covered by health insurance in the equation, 70% of the population taking prescriptions, 20% of whom take 5 or more prescriptions - the AMA, medical doctors in general are prescribing pills instead of consulting, counseling and teaching their patients how to change their behaviors.
  17. Allow me to elucidate my point about McDonald's adding sugar to their buns. I'm not speaking of the naturally occurring sugars in the grains used to make the bread through the reaction of the yeast with those grain sugars. I am saying that PAST THAT NATURALLY OCCURRING SUGAR, McDonalds adds raw sugar (maybe they've switched to high fructose corn syrup) to increase the addiction kids have to MickeyD's food. They are doping their buns with sugar for a chemically enhanced flavor profile that pleases their customers. HTH
  18. i can buy vegetables to feed four for a day on the price of one super sized McDonald's meal. It's a matter of priority of convenience over preparation. http://atlanta.cbslocal.com/2013/06/19/study-70-percent-of-americans-on-prescription-drugs-one-fifth-take-5-or-more/
  19. I would submit that it's more an educational issue about the correct dietary lifestyle. McDonald's isn't cheaper than a home-cooked meal. It's not lower in calories nor healthier. It's more convenient. Hell, MickeyD's puts SUGAR in their buns! Along with the education comes understanding that frying foods is unhealthy. Another point is that fresh vegetables are less expensive than frozen or processed vegetable, but they require home-cooking because no restaurant can make money selling fresh veggies for 3 times the store price. But fried and processed foods are the worst thing you could eat. One rule of thumb I like to use is only shop on the perimeter of the supermarket. Think about the way most stores are set up, fresh produce along the wall yielding to fresh dairy to fresh butchering to fresh bakery. All that crap in the center of the store is the PROFITABLE stuff - processed, frozen and marked up.
  20. I would say that's too broad a definition - My judgement is that Obesity is a common result of a multitude of diseases. One person's hormonal disorder resulting in overeating isn't the next person's metabolic disorder resulting in an inability to burn calories efficiently. Some people observed to be obese are later found to have tumors causing the obese appearance. That said, the AMA is in my mind one of the biggest perpetuators of obesity. Rather than coaching us to exercise more, count calories, figure out our personal body types and how we react to certain foods, the AMA tends to push pills. Thankfully, my endocrinologist cusses and yells at me to get more exercise and cut down on my portions all the time. What my 25 year old godson can eat in one meal is a full day's calorie count for this 57 year old. But his metabolism is higher, he needs more calories than I do. It's the curse of our prosperity that we can afford more food (calories) more often and once we've built our appetite through our early years, it is hard for us see a regular burger as sufficient when we could be doing the 1/3 pounder.
  21. And if you so choose to consider discrimination in and of itself without the legalese, stupid - go right ahead, stupid. And if you so choose to file a complaint against a sex-worker for discriminating against you in their preferences, go right ahead. I believe the agency for filing such complaint is the Federal Court system. And if you are so cross with me that you'd say a sex-worker who has contrary preferences to their client should still spend the hour with the client - not having sex and collecting the hourly rate, with total disregard to the consequences of an angered client filing a negative review, I can add another item to your stupid list (double entendré intended)! So far as your example of the apartment for rent, it doesn't fly. Discrimination in apartment rentals occur frequently. Consider an ad for an apartment that charges a monthly rent amount but not showing a security deposit amount. The landlord may freely adjust the amount of the security deposit based on credit checks, pets and his very own whim so that he makes it more advantageous for the preferred renter than for the less desirable applicants. And unless the denied applicant files a complaint, no one will ever investigate the landlord's basis for the disproportionate security deposit amounts. I have seen landlords in my neighborhood go from calm, mild-mannered nice people to total flipped out whackos when an undesirable candidate for tenancy even looked at an apartment. That might explain some reviews where the escort "appeared to be on something", "acted strangely" and my favorite, didn't "put me at ease." We only find out about those when someone writes a review. Things are not always as they appear, and the laws of the land often go unenforced. So go ahead and complain about escorts discriminating according to their personal preferences - see what that gets you, stupid.
  22. No, I think I understand the meaning of the word, discrimination, very well, having grown up in Alabama in the 1960's. But let's use a dictionary definition: to recognize a distinction; differentiate. Like, he's white and I'm black. It was this distinction recognition that said the Whites get the main floor and the Blacks get the Balcony of my local movie theatre. But also it was a prejudicial distinction - Whites are better than Blacks. A prejudice I totally reject. I have Black friends that I prefer over some White folks. But I have some White friends that I prefer over Black folks. But my PREFERENCES are not illegal discriminations, because I'm not discriminating based on a prejudiced opinion, nor am I basing my preferences upon race, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, or disability. Which are the only illegal discriminations in our society and apply mainly to commerce. I am unaware of BVB's experience with Spencer, and I never knew BVB was a East Asian of Indian and African descent aka Mutt (joke). I only know BVB on the message board (and I love his sense of humor!). If what I am surmising here is true, that Spencer rejected him upon arrival at an appointment, I would be disappointed and confused by Spencer. That's not my experience with him. Actually, Obesity is considered a disability under the anti-discrimnation laws. And discrimination isn't stupid. Making a distinction is celebrated when it's a Brad Pitt. We celebrated his distinctive looks, his distinctive lifestyle and his distinctive success. But he discriminated himself into his life because he chose one way over many others. Some people prefer single-story homes, some people prefer townhouses, some people drive 4-door cars, some people drive 2-door cars - none of these are stupid reasons to discriminate - they are simply preferences. Gman, I wish you hadn't introduced the word prejudices into the discussion. Prejudice to me is a mean word. It means to PRE-JUDGE, or as I prefer to say it, TO JUDGE WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE. Growing up in the South, I ached when I heard people discuss the worthlessness of other people simply based on the color of their skin, without ever knowing their name even! I ached when I saw 'Whites Only' signs on the restroom doors and over the water fountains of the county courthouse, knowing that there were "Colored Only" signs on the same places in the basement. I couldn't understand why Black folks had to walk downstairs just to pee? But illegal discrimination has been codified into law as these types of discrimination: race, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, or disability. Discrimination isn't an ugly word except when it includes prejudice and applies to those seven areas of life. I can understand why any escort would reject and appointment with someone of a different race, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, or disability, but only from the standpoint of his preferences. I don't see his preferences as a prejudiced. The escort knows better than anyone how he will perform in this most physically intimate encounter.Why should he, in the name of anti-discrimination, place himself in a situation where he already knows he risks underperforming even failing to satisfy the client?
  23. Gman, I'd have to take issue of your use of 'discrimination' in the matter of escorts preferences. We do have a Constitution right to freedom of association and none of us are required to check our preferences at the door when it comes to with whom we get naked and with whom we shall not. To take away an escort's right to have his preferences is discriminating, not his expression of his preferences in a service oriented business. An escort's intimacy is a far cry from a 'White's Only' lunch counter in Selma Alabama in 1963, in my mind.
  24. He was hot and wonderful many times with this middle-aged overweight white man...read my review.
  25. I think I have to agree with Daddy on this one. For whatever reason, the escort, formerly know a Trey Thurston, has or has not elected to employ a fictitious name in his current advertising offering his escort services. Anyone with a web browser can gather all the pertinent details for himself. Meantime, the Message-Forum is totally anonymous except for those who've self-revealed themselves to the MF. One of the Terms of Service is No Private Information. The coincidence that a former escort known by what is now a quite public name after his television interviews discussing his multiple plastic surgeries is just a coincidence. Besides that, how do we know if either TT or JJ are his true given and legal names?
