I'm not american, but make a nice corn pudding. Apropos to the topic, this lists the geographic distribution of major side dishes: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/heres-what-your-part-of-america-eats-on-thanksgiving/ Hope everyone has a great thanksgiving

Thank you for sharing this info!!

The areas you describe are lovely. I sometimes spend a long weekend with friends from new york driving down to the Brandywine museum, Winterthur or Longwood Gardens for a day and spending the night in Center City or somewhere along the mainline. Very charming part of the country.

I’m a big fan of the National Park system Whenever i travel to one, i only hear foreign speakers, not many Americans. Mostly Europeans and Asians.

Isn't sex traffickig only if the OP profits from it? He is only inviting them to stay with him and perhaps in exchange for the use of his space, some alone time???

I only used the retrofit toilet seat/bidet combination (not the full toilet, so if it is, i’m not able to give you the best info)...However, if you are looking for a toilet seat/bidet combo, I’d recommend the washlet S500e or S550e. I prefer the S500e version as it does not have automatic lid, which has been a nuisance (can turn off though). They are quite low profile, easy to install (per my super), and really helps save a lot of toilet paper. After using the older brand S350 for a few years, i recently changed to the S500e. Similar in function but nicer remote. The oscillating/pulse features are great and makes you feel very refreshed (hope this is not oversharing). The bidet is one thing i miss after traveling.

@bluestorm, I hope it turns out to be a success! He certainly looks beautiful and worth exploring

When i went to school, we had to stand when the teacher or headmaster entered the room.

They start wearing poppies in the UK and Canada by early November. I have mine when i went home to Toronto last week. In manhattan, the Canadian consulate was giving out poppies earlier this month as well. John McRae who wrote In Flanders Fields was Canadian and his poem is quite lovely and moving. I’m hardly sentimental and did not lose any family during last century’s wars but I am touched by the sacrifice of so many.

Wow 4300 per night is a lot. I'm lucky my guys are a lot cheaper than that.

Having a toto bidet toilet is a much more civilized option to using TP to wipe.

Sounds like the landlord is very attentive, responsible and caring. Nice that you have such a valuable resource. Tip him well for Christmas!

It’s a great hobby !!!

You’re right. Avalon needs to want to make the change. It’s like my neighbor who is obese and has joined a local gym, but has only been to the gym 10 times the entire year. He needs to want to change and actually take action himself. No one can force him to.

Actually, it will make you safer if you use the walker and hopefully help prevent falls. You may think relying on something will make your muscles weaker and more dependent on the walker, but if you don’t move about, you will become deconditioned very quickly.

I don't mind his postings...I do hope he is alright and in a good space. Some of his musings are entertaining and I do appreciate seeing the other side of the fence, as we age, we will all have to face mobility issues. It's good to think about things and prepare in advance. Fortunately, i still have a strong social group and close friends nearby that seem (at the moment) will be able to help out. A few of us are looking into buying condos next to each other in Palm Springs and Montreal so we can remain close to each other and help each other out.

Sometimes, it is just referred to as an "amuse"

It's about making the right healthy choices in food selection It is difficult but it can be done.

In New York, there are programs with SAGE that help older gay men. My friend volunteers and helps a shut on a weekly basis in with his computers or taxes. Perhaps you can find something like that in your neighborhood or maybe SAGE has a local chapter in your area? It is worrisome that you feel like you don’t want to impose on your landlord with things that are normal day to day necessities.

Can you ship things to your place and ask your super to bring it to you? I’m sure you’d save money on the mailbox rental and you can use the money to tip the super.

Unfortunately, many of the "japanese" restaurants in the US are run by chinese/taiwanese. Nothing wrong with that, but may be lacking in the authentic "omotenashi" experience.

"i can't get hard for lard"... as some of my friends would say.

He looks hot from his pics online... hope you have a great time

Zuma Las Vegas is also fun

I may be biased, but NYC has the most number of Michelin stars in the US at 76. 20% of these are Japanese. Not only the the Michelin starred ones, but there are many single specialty restaurants that serve only one type of dish or from one region: Kyoto-style, onigri, okonomiyaki, skewered meats, and those that specialize only in chicken or pork. I know no reason to look elsewhere (in the US, that is). Although it is fun to explore and to experience new places, i am pretty content with the offerings here.
