I have no doubt you’re loyal, Unicorn, but Quinn doesn’t know that. Just as you’ve done extensive due diligence on him, it makes sense for him to closely at you and the potential live in situation—and to look at actions as well as words. Is it possible that Quinn took the pasta episode as a signal that you’ll be less generous than he wants? Have you discussed the specifics of your offer—specifically whether you’re offering a stipend on top of room and board? Also, I get the feeling you’re smitten with Lindero. Do you prefer him over Quinn? Lindero may be sending flirtatious texts, but the relationship isn’t as far along as the current one. Once things get down to brass tacks, Lindero may be no less hesitant than Quinn.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. We’re living apart (and didn’t celebrate most of the time in normal years ), so just doing my own thing this year.

Anyone else like Charles’s joke about the bear and the hunter?

Also, if she was against it, why would she voice her concerns only a few days before the wedding? I‘m also skeptical of the idea that Diana seriously considered calling it off. I‘m curious enough to read a Diana bio, maybe the Sally Bedell Smith one.

Others on this thread knew BVB better than I did; he and I spoke several times but never met. Nevertheless, I’m pretty sad about this. I hadn’t spoken to him in a couple of years, but it’s hard to believe that he and I will never talk again or meet.

I don’t know what to say. He was incredibly kind and, yes, an assertive alpha guy. RIP. I remember his love for boating. I still remember his reaction to the Boaty McBoatface story. https://www.companyofmen.org/threads/boaty-mcboatface.112814/#post-1074536

Both the guy being pursued and the cougar‘s “cub” are hot.

This is what I figured. Also, the con was an attempt to do something worthwhile— keep schoolboys busy after school and keep them out of trouble

I think the scene in Oklahoma makes it clear that Jud’s death isn’t Curly’s fault. Jud is the one who repeatedly tried to kill Curly, who merely defends himself. Not Curly’s fault that Jud has a glass jaw and stabs himself.

One of the major tenets of the code was that wrongdoing should nor be depicted in a sympathetic manner. In practice, this usually meant that wrongdoers were punished at a level appropriate to the “crime.” Yet Harold Hill gets off relatively easily for his serial con artistry. His redemption requires serious suspension of disbelief, and does anyone really believe he won’t skip town sooner rather than later? Am I off on this, or were the censors lenient on wrongdoing that didn’t appear on the “never show” or “be careful” list?

The “media” option doesn’t include Twitter anymore. Is there a workaround that displays a Tweet rather than just printing the hyperlink?

This French reporter would look good without the mask

People make mistakes, but he was on a private call while the New Yorker was paying him.

No other good reporters available at this critical time? Sounds like CNN has been caught with its pants down.

The audio was bad. He thought it was an election stimulation.

Wait, these moaning massages are covered by insurance!?

Love how my nails look after a manicure. But I don’t feel safe doing them now, even outdoors with masks. On me, they can look good if they’re not over buffed.

He says he's not gay or bi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vdj7w-U5HcM:6

Is anyone watching that Indian Matchmaking show? My gaydar went off a bit on the jewelry/model guy with the big walk in closet.

That ship sailed when fathers were allowed into delivery rooms.
