Well, the British had the advantage of ruling over entire continents and sub continents which had multiple time zones, like Canada with its 6. A world map was produced in 1898 which showed British possessions colored in red. The world was awash in red ink

As the pandemic has worn on, I am reordering my priorities concerning the list of "intos" to place greater emphasis on kissing for my first hire coming out of the third wave restrictions. For me it ranks high on the feeling of connectiveness I have been missing the last 5 months.

It's a good question. My answer would be that she presided over a period when Britain became the undisputed superpower in the world. She was the first monarch in Britain's 1000 year monarchical history to become the Empress as well as Queen, a title bestowed on her by her favorite Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli. She ruled an empire greater than even the Roman Empire, and greater than any before or since. As was the saying, the sun never set on the British Empire, meaning at any time in the 24 hour day, the sun was shining on a British flag waving above a British territory. Of course, the sun did set eventually, but not in her time or her son's or grandson's time. The American Empire, although not officially acknowledged, started after WWII. We will have to see whether it still functions in 2045.

The CDC is no longer recording cases of COVID infection happening to fully vaccinated people although over 11 thousand cases have been reported. Over 900 of those cases required hospitalization and over 160 patients died. Some experts are criticizing this decision as they say knowing this info is important going forward to fully understand the disease and it’s progress.

I hope we can still discuss it. Today I read an article that a Canadian researcher has uncovered a book about Horace in Latin, published at the time of Shakespeare, that might have been owned by the bard and used as a resource for his writing.

I just checked the province of Ontario criteria for serving on juries and as a student-of-law, I would be disqualified. But that was so many years ago.

I’ve never been called myself but I have a law degree and always assumed I wouldn’t qualify. If called I would love to serve.

I always understood if you tried to talk your way out of jury duty, it was by way of giving pretty unflattering comments about yourself.

No pee in providers, no deal.

When Imoved out of Montreal in 2010 to Ontario, it was a two hour drive for me to get back. Then they tore up the Turcott interchange in what has become a decades long project of rebuilding the vast interchange of highways and my trip became a three hour one. Now with the #40 bridge closed, I will have to use #30 and that involves a circuitous detour to the south shore ( it was intended to bypass Montreal for people heading east or west) so that will add another half hour I imagine. All in all a great disincentive to visit Montreal when I can now drive the extra distance to Toronto in about a little over a half hour extra.

I only had it happen a couple of times and figured it was part of the transition period still going on in the background. Didn’t faze me but then I am mostly unperturbable anyway.

I use a whole mattress cover rather than small pads. Takes the worry out of soaking the mattress.

It’s interesting to read about Empire Day and it’s abolition with the result that Queen Victoria is no longer commemorated in Australia. Of course, Queen Victoria died just a few months before the founding of the Australian Parliament on July 9th, 1901. I remember this because my grandfather was in Melbourne on that day and was presented to the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York, who stood in for the new King, Edward VII. The Duke went on to become King George V. Our national holiday became known as Dominion Day, July 1st, and later Canada Day. But we still remember old Queen Vic. I think it’s more pragmatic than anything, though, as the date marks the unofficial beginning of summer in Canada, when the weather is usually glorious, as it is this year, and everyone able to flees the cities for their country cabins to enjoy nature.

Now that we are near the end of May, it still seems it will be quite some time before indoor bars and clubs will reopen. Outdoor terraces may open in a month or so. Quebec has got a better control on the numbers of cases so is reopening sooner but Ontario is taking a more cautious approach. What goes for the reopening of the US border is anyone's guess but not this summer I believe. The latest wrinkle that developed this weekend is the abrupt closure of the main bridge linking Montreal to Ontario. That is the one I take when driving to Montreal. With only the older smaller bridge open on highway 20, traffic will be snarled for the foreseeable future. That is also going to affect Trudeau Airport for passengers from Ontario but in the short term not an issue as noone is flying out of Canada for leisure.

I always take some towels to hotels I am driving to where I intend to see escorts. Obviously not if flying. I take a whole shopping bag with towels, face clothes and sometimes a cover sheet. I like to engage in watersports so things can get messy and I don't want to bother the hotel staff too much. But I do often seek out the chambermaids in the halls in the morning to get extra towels.

Actually it's the details I am always concerned about in planning a date. And the towels (and sheets) that I anticipate being used are part of the planning I think about. It's become so common I don't really have to give it much thought any more, I just prepare accordingly.

I would imagine that masseurs are faced with more laundry if they see more clients per day when they are working than escorts do. My guess is that masseurs do more incalls and hence are left with the linens they use. When escorts do incalls, there is also a need to change the linens if they are in their own homes. But clients may not have as much need for towels unless showering is involved. As a client, I go through a lot of linens during a session, particularly if it's a multihour or overnight. If I am at an escort's home, I often bring at least a small towel in my backpack or valise. This is as much for my own convenience as out of consideration for the escort.

He looks great. 11 great reviews and only one negative, something about being cold. His name in the older reviews is Kevon.

He looks hot if the pics are accurate. Sometimes pornstars go with their old photos when they were in their prime.

Thanks. It’s a quiet weekend this year because of the lockdown we are still undergoing. Quite a departure from previous years when I could celebrate with others. Last year I had a blast and hired an escort for the whole weekend. While the pandemic was already underway, it wasn’t so bad in terms of numbers here and took a chance, which worked out well. He was a real sweetie and sent me a message today with a pic of him working out naked in his home gym he has set up. We stay in regular touch and I met with him three times last summer and fall, until the pandemic got too tough. Hope to see him again when things open up.

Here in Canada we celebrate the holiday known as Victoria Day, named in honour of Queen Victoria, whose birthday was the 24th of May. It also happens to be my birthday and as a result I always got a school holiday on my birthday. November 11th is our “Memorial Day”, to remember soldiers lost in the various wars Canada has participated in with distinction, I might add. We always responded with our blood and fortune to defend democracy when it was threatened from abroad. I operate a small cemetery and in the spring the two big holidays for remembrance are Mothers’ and Fathers’ Day. Flowers are left on the graves of dearly departed family members. Something I was brought up to do and continue to this day.

I'm a bit like Lucky in that I found the images off-putting and taking up too much space. I'm a print oriented type on the Internet probably because I read so much printed material and rarely watch TVor movies. I do enjoy the forums where pics are the main feature, as contributed by posters. So I just disabled the images as RadioBob suggested. Suits me.

The olives stuffed with almonds that I buy are Greek olives imported by Polaris into Canada in 1 litre glass jars. They last me about a month or so as I usually have a few each day. I also like black olives with the pits and whole Kalamata olives with pits. The latter are also from Greece. I eat salads for lunch almost every day so olives form a part of my daily diet. I just pop in three or four with all the other things that go to making a tasty and nutritious meal

I am rather attracted to Tim Krueger of Timtales. He's a hunky daddy type.

Thanks I'll try it next time. I was never good at the old quote button and never used it. I just used the reply under the post I wanted to cite.
