This sounds a bit harsh. Some of these ailments can be found in any large North American city. Poisoned water??? That's over the top. Must be thinking of Flint, Michigan lol.

That's what I was thinking. Whenever I have visited LA, I was struck by how many good looking people were all around. I wrote it off to a lot of Hollywood star wannabes.

His RM ad says he's in Toronto now. The province just went into another lockdown effective tonight. Wonder if he'll stay.

He's now got 3 reviews, two positive and one negative. Only two pics but they are attractive. The last reviewer said his model good looks were rare in LA, a somewhat dubious claim I would think.

"Scapegoat" Bible: a goat sent into the wilderness after the Jewish chief priest had symbolically laid the sins of the people upon it.

Does any food actually appear in that kitchen lol.

Understand your feelings but wasn't there ever anyone to warm your butt in freezing DC 😜

I had the best New Year's eves during the winters I was in Miami back around the turn of the century. One could go out to the bars and have a great time without having to dress for the cold. Of course this applies to other sun destinations as well but Miami had a certain zest back then, which I understand has somewhat fizzled. Of course, I also spent some NY eves in Ft Lauderdale, which was only a 30 minute drive away and equally fun.

I loved that as a kid, sleeping under a pile of blankets with a down filled comforter on top and the window open to the wind blasting in from across the lake in our mountain retreat north of Montreal. My two brothers were similarly ensconced in our large bedroom on the second level, with mother, father and sister more sheltered in their downstairs bedrooms at the back of the house, protected from the wind. I wouldn't trade places with them for anything.

My last dog was a mutt who would eat anything. My previous two dogs were purebreds who were somewhat more diffident about kibbles, which I have always preferred to feed my dogs. They would eat kibbles but not with the relish that they devoured human food in the form of table scraps.

I've never been a fan of traveling in peak seasons.

I can empathize with Epigonos. I always said gravity was a dog's best friend in the kitchen.

Gone.

Write a book.

I sleep naked in bed except in the cold weather, when I wear a t-shirt to keep my shoulders and upper arms warm. Like a cool house at night in the winter, around 69. When I sleep with providers, I like us both naked completely, since body heat keeps me comfy without need for t-shirt. One of my regulars insists on putting a t-shirt back on before going to sleep.

I just watched the 3 minute clip above of Cohen's rant. He is just a vulgar loudmouth, imo.

I was able to get my booster shot just before Christmas so am looking forward to travel by mid January. Where to go is the big question. While Montreal would have been high on my list, it's not looking good right now. I may look south to US or Mexico to see what looks feasible.

I’ll drink to that!

I think Southern Comfort is also orangy in taste but it's been 50 odd years since I had any. Too much in fact at a fraternity party and I have never touched it since. Lol

A bit like Cointreau and Grand Marnier. All sort of orangy.

Baby beef liver is not as tender as calves liver. I think the difference in ages of the cattle is about two years, the calves being under a year. Baby beef is next two years and then beef liver, which is the oldest and toughest of the livers. With calves liver, you can almost cut it with a fork.

With today's announcement of a new lockdown and curfew across Quebec starting New Year's Eve tomorrow, I take it all social life is screeching to a halt. What a downer for starting 2022.

My father, who was a Chartered Accountant, always said the way to approach the taxman was to make any claim you felt entitled to on your tax return and back it up with the required paperwork, however outlandish your claim might be and all they could say at worst was no. On the other hand, if you tried to hide something and they found out, watch out!

Not only look alike but virtually the same stats.

I also felt safer in Sao Paulo than Rio but had no problems in either city when I visited years ago, actually just two weeks before my nephew did.
