About a year ago, I bought a small place in the French Quarter to have an escape from rural Mississippi where I relocated to be close to my family. The economics were easy - monthly costs of ownership (including flood insurance!) are less than a single weekend at my favorite hotel a couple blocks away - where I usually get one of their suites for entertaining frequent visitors that fly in. Renovation should be complete in 30 days and I’ll start using it for weekend entertaining. I think it’s anything but a money pit since the savings vs hotels will be 2-4k/month. Ask me how I feel about it after a hurricane though 😏 Both @BeamerBikes and @jusmeinbr have seen it and can probably attest that it’s perfect for my purpose Ironically, my family is now chasing a job and relocating to New Orleans. So this will become a transitional home while I look for something permanent there. I will keep this little place as a getaway since it’s easy to entertain friends in the middle of the French Quarter (where Airbnb/VRBO is forbidden) and I can walk to everything (including groceries, pharmacy, bars, restaurants, theaters, etc) To me, a house in the country sounds overwhelming. Too many things to maintain from afar and too many things to go wrong. Since this isn’t a market where real estate ownership is rewarded with assured appreciation in value, I look at every expenditure like this as needing to either make me cash flow equal to my securities or reduce my expenses.

I don't know...I suspect the rules have changed. For instance, what I inherited was grandfathered and not subject to RMD - which wouldn't have mattered if the balances had been taxed, right? Beyond that outdated experience I had, I'm certain you are better versed in current requirements than me.

I’m shocked at how much demand there is for my profile on hookup apps. In addition to certain anatomical characteristics, my communication is polite, articulate, respectful - so young professionals respond well and float to the top

Not just real estate. Retirement accounts get stepped up basis too. Saved me a fortune when my mom died

I’m considerably more selective and more focused on making reliable, drama free, sober regulars

I just met him for the first time and found him charming. Although I usually do weekends, my schedule only allowed a couple hours. Definitely will repeat for a weekend. I’m going to have to learn Spanish to know what he was moaning during the “action” 😅🤭

Some guys can handle their addiction. It’s when it becomes a problem to their reliability and presence that it matters. At that point, cut bait and move on

I prefer to focus on the 90%+ positive experiences - but I did have four that turned into very bad experiences: - After a couple of good trips, one from Oklahoma City (KaidenFoxx) lied and ghosted me before a big trip before coming clean weeks later (and then disappearing from the internet) - After three good trips, one from Chicago went histrionic because he didn't like the fact that I got along better with his boyfriend than him - I'll leave nameless out of respect for his boyfriend. - One in New Orleans (SkylerDiamond) proved completely unreliable on every dimension - communication, timely, honesty, etc - One in New Orleans proved very disappointing as we he fell off the detox wagon and reverted to addiction on his way to becoming like SkylerDiamond. Maturity, Intelligence, Sobriety - 2025 taught me what to focus on and it's AMAZING how elevated the experiences are!

Cross dressing

I’m ecstatic for you both 👰‍♂️ 🤵‍♂️

What's the difference between sugaring and waxing?

Decades ago, my wife and I spent a fortune with laser and electrolysis. My balls are clear and bush is reduced and much softer (she erased EVERYthing shoulders down!). I’ve tried the new razors on other parts but they just don’t live me unscathed

It’s what you say…but not all are as good as others

This is not too far from scenarios I expose myself to in social media. Exploration with men is new to me over the last couple of years. I've evolved to the position of I'm not going to modify my life, I'm not going to advertise my personal business, I'm not going to hide my personal business, nor am I going to lie. If anyone has the courage to ask me, they'll hear the truth. If they don't, they're gonna think what they're gonna think. If I were still married, I'd likely feel differently. My kids have been told, they're supportive, and that's all that matters to me. I've come out directly to a couple of friends and one, in turn, came out to ME....uh huh, and then we made a week trip to consummate the new knowledge.

Everything happens for a reason People are going to think what people are going to think Accept the outcome and walk in new light.

I have not licensed my picture for public use. Cease and desist! 🤣🤣😅

I understand. I’m not being critical. How you process the experience is your choice to make….but I can assure you many here have had much worse.

I can’t imagine how hard it is for providers to tailor specifically to every need that comes up. So much is spontaneous and in the moment. While it wasn’t exactly what you wanted, it doesn’t sound like a terrible experience to me

How many stings have we heard about through RM? Whether 1 or 100, it doesn’t matter. If it bothers you, learn the keys “thousand shalt nots” to insulate yourself.

I’m in Austin at 4AM and he’s laying next to me. Visiting his home town, he’s curated the weekend. After a few visits, he knows me and has tailored it to what he knows I enjoy. This is a quality young man at every dimension. He’s is smart, witty, and refined. And unlike most his age, he stays present and off his phone. We already have three trips on schedule in coming months and we are starting to sketch out #4

If he’s making what he wants and has recurring business, that’s how the math works…

Oh! There’s wall paper!

I’m not!!

I'm so glad that I've gotten on his schedule. With only a couple of exceptions, New Orleans has been very disappointing and to have quality talent visiting for such a long time is awesome. So I've scheduled time with him in a couple of weeks! To have someone attractive, smart, articulate, and addiction free is a special thing there! It sounds like anyone visiting for Mardi Gras should start with him in their planning! I'm glad that he's staying close to my place in the FQ so our time together should be easy despite the Mardi Gras activities!
