Me in preop listening to 80s music while waiting to see if my prep was good enough.

Is it worth the prep? And good lord. It was a good event, but that was the longest two hours of my life--and not just because of the colonoscopy prep.

I helped moderate a Zoom panel while doing the colonoscopy prep. I wish I had bought some martini glasses to put the juice into.

Doing the Miralax prep and my hair for the event. Scheduling here is not ideal.

You want to lose your virginity too?

Thanks, Kevin. This is very helpful advice. The doctor ordered a Miralax prep with non-red Gatorade. 64 Oz the day before, and wake up early and so 64 Oz the day of. (She also recommend Miso soup and similar to mix it up.) Then you down the magnesium citrate right before The event is at 5 the day before so relatively early. It’s a diagnostic rather than a screening so I want to make sure I don’t screw it up.

Mine is on Monday. Should you expect to be totally useless the night before the colonoscopy,? Is it unwise to participate to schedule a zoom event for time, if I could go mute/off camera after the first few minutes?

To be clear: Concern about COVID was an excuse in this situation, but it was and is the truth, particularly during this BA2 surge that is hitting previously uninfected people. That's why I asked to dine outdoors and wore an KF94 while we were in an indoor public space. (I normally wear an N95, but I prefer the look of the KF94. FWIW, I met with my internist recently, and he says he's “living life”, going to concerts and parties, but “being careful” and wearing an N95. Others feel differently about outdoor vs indoor dining, N95s vs surgical masks (which Unicorn has discussed), or about wearing masks at all. Andrew says he is done taking precautions except around elderly or other immunocompromised people. I respect his right (and yours) to do what's right for him and told him I appreciated his willingness to dine outdoors.

You felt it? 😳 I’ve had Propofol/MAC a few times for different procedures and can't remember anything after the anes tells me “you’ll feel a burning sensation on your arm.”

This. Just book for one night and leave when you're done. There's no need to return the plastic key cards. Unless it's a tiny hotel, no one will notice when you leave unless you stay past check out time.

This is what I would have said if I could do it over. Unfortunately, I was caught off guard. As for the previous poster’s remarks: Like I said, my instinct was that Andrew wouldn't get too pushy. But if my instincts had been wrong, as they occasionally are, I’d rather find out about it in a public place.

Which of you was the virgin?

The gender issues makes it a bigger deal. But as I texted with Andrew, I thought of this Street Scenes post from years ago..The poster is long gone, so I won’t credit him. “ (…)and returning to choose from among the smorgasboard of cute young Hispanic guys hanging around the Main Street bar area. There is of course risk involved, but so far I have met mostly fun guys and their rates are small slivers of the guys reviewed here. I usually drive them over to a fast food place and get them a bite to eat while I try to figure them out. If something seems not right - like if they talk about drugs or are obviously not clean, I usually give them a small bill and return them to where I met them.” Andrew talked about drugs, so I returned him to his corner. Luckily, he bought me dinner first.

Definitely possible. His body language suggested he wasn’t entirely comfortable, but he extended the evening at every opportunity. We definitely shut down the place.

I agree that he may have been clueless. I wish I had just told him that I meet everyone in public. I came in a mask and initially forgot to remove it when we went outside to dine, so he may believe that I’m paranoid about COVID? I initially thought he might be gay. But when we briefly touched on the topic of gay men who aren’t free to come out, he vigorously proclaimed his complete heterosexuality.

Yes, there have definitely been discussions here about meeting for 15 minutes in public first and how the escort should be compensated for that. I love @glutes ‘s Peet’s and greet.

During the pandemic, I took up a hobby that involved Zoom workshops. In one of these classes, I met a guy named Andrew and later joimed a smaller group he was organizing. Andrew lives in San Diego, and I suggested meeting him for dinner while I was there. The idea was that we’d have dinner. On the day we were set to meet, Andrew texted me his address and said he hoped to “have a drink” (apparently at home) before going to dinner. I was pretty surprised that he’d expect a stranger to come to his home, so using COVID as a (poor) excuse, I said I’d prefer to meet outdoors. He then sent me a photo of his terrace We eventually met at a restaurant and had a great time, but I had to gently insist. I had thought that meeting in public the first time was the norm, but I now wonder if I gave him the impression that I don’t trust him. In fact, I thought (and still think) he’s a very sweet guy who is unlikely to harm me, but this is a matter of principle for me. Do you think it’s reasonable to insist on meeting online friends in public the first time?

I wish that were possible but he’s thousands of miles away.

The resident isn’t someone I know well, so I wouldn’t want to ask the facility about him. He’s just someone whose day I want to brighten.

The person has Parkinson’s disease, and the facility is not local. He uses a walker but can clearly type etc. However, he is not groomed, which makes me thinks he’s struggling to access suppliesh needs. I’d like to send a particular brand of pie that is considered really good. It needs to be cut, but I figure i’ll send a pizza cutter thing separately. Does this sound like a good idea? If not, do you any ideas for something that that would work?

What exactly is the Academy planning to “investigate” btw? If they want to discuss whether to sanction him, just say that

I’m going to catch hell for this, but here goes: Imagine that everyone walks around naked. You have a rare condition which caused your 8 inch dick to wither to 1 inch, and one of your balls is gone—permanently. That’s what life is like for a relatively young woman with alopecia. As I said, though, assaulting Rock wasn’t the way to handle it. Best thing he could have done is sneer and shake his head for the camera. Those around him didn’t react, so the joke fell flat anyway.

Smith was out of line. So was Chris Rick for mocking Pinkett. She apparently has severe alopecia, which absolutely kills a woman’s self esteem. No one understands that as well as the live Hollywood audience.

Multiple outlets have written pieces on his tv show. Others discuss is now-famous t-shirt. Why not this?
