Personally, I think it’s fine to agree to what’s requested but - to be fair - to pay more or market rate if the encounter exceeds your expectation.

Hmmm, I’m curious - how did he do all these things you attribute to him? Did not the “free markets” and possibly Congress have anything to do with it? And @KensingtonHomo, insulting a dead man’s service IS tacky when you speak of a truth that is merely your opinion.

His manuevering through the '87 stock market crisis was phenomenal He manuevered through two decades of low inflation through multiple presidencies and vast political swings in electorate He manuevered through the post 9/11 crisis He led the Fed's mandate of "full employment" for a historically long period The soft landing in the 90's was skillfully executed He was an articulate influencer Barney Frank had more to do with the Great Recession than Greenspan - policies driven outside the Fed through the FHLB, Freddie, and Fannie - were far more problematic than fed policy. To call him a ghoul is harsh not to mention tacky

welcome to the forum!

At least he went out at par!

The last girlfriend I had would come hard and often and always would laugh a giggly laugh each time. So, I’m guessing it’s not just a guy thing. But as a guy, preejaculatory laughter can be a bit unnerving 😂

The Hacienda at Warm Springs 12 rooms, two pools, one hot tub, great service But if you want public debauchery, you may want someplace else.

I found this interesting: Economists have long pushed for prediction markets. The reality is not what they’d hoped for | CNN Business

Wow! I could never see myself saying it that way unless with a sub bottom. But since you’ve said it’s happened multiple times, I’m curious - how would you have preferred it be said?

Is it possible that they use a management company to monitor and respond to communication? If so, the stern warning likely came from someone else following a standard script. Consider them the “handlers”…I suppose you’d have to have a coded message provided by the guy to signal that you’re in the “A-List” and can “get in”

It’s only happened once. It was predictably at the end of a weekend filled with epicurean delights. He’d cleaned diligently but alas. I mentioned it, suggested I’d wash off, then he refreshed, and things resumed. Rinse. Lather. Repeat.

At least it’s a dry heat…🤣 NOLA hit a heat index this week of 113. Then a tropical storm came through and brought it to 106! I imagine the high prices will push the airlines to raise their medallion thresholds. I already made Diamond with Delta, so maybe I’ll focus on American for the balance of the year (since I detest United) Or maybe I could save money getting a hot air balloon for my travels

It may be relevant that the poverty in Brazil is much more extreme than anything we observe in the US. Average household Net Worth there is about 15% of that in the US. Similar comparisons exist in Purchasing Power Parity. So by comparison, the US is amazingly attractive place to earn money and return home with reserves that go a lot farther.

I just redirected my vpn to Switzerland a few minutes ago and saw all the comments

Not a turnoff, but I do better with guys my own size because of more options with positions

Sounds complicated. If they have a lot of friends, that should take care of itself. If it’s clients they’re trying to tap, confidentiality matters Rock, meet hard place

I’m so sorry I overlooked that

Do both…that’s what I’d do. Maybe even at the same time

Yeah. So maybe think twice before starting such a diversion next time. There’s never resolution in such a pedantic response

Interesting that you have to outsource your thinking to try to be articulate Like @BOZO T CLOWN, I know of plenty of pasty light skinned folks concerned about entry or reentry. In fact I have a couple of waspy porn stars I travel with who always get added screening at TSA - presumably, because of facial recognition - every time - even though there is nothing in their possession warranting inspection. When you outsource your thinking, you’re seeking validation to a question that you likely asked in a biased way leading to the desired outcome. BTC has made a valid point and we all should be open to hearing inconvenient truths. At least his AI search was seeking data on the topic.

Being new to exploring men, it represented a bridge while I built direct personal connections socially. But, my social connections don’t have the flexibility to drop everything and go with me on my frequent travels, so I always see a need for some of the outstanding men that have made it to the “sober, mature, intelligent” short list and I suspect I’ll represent steady income to them for the foreseeable future and beyond.

And I guess thick hair and beards are the requirement. It felt like I was walking by the HARLEQUIN rack at the drug store.

First, I hope you’re on a path to full recovery Dr PK! I redid everything at the beginning of COVID when notaries witnessed signatures by video. I was late 50’s. I had previous wills and planning that became irrelevant as my kids launched and grandkids entered the picture.
