Whenever I see one of those "fainting couches", I always think of Empress Josephine, for some reason.

I would have turned the lights down low and had a feast on the cock and body. I understand paper bags are no longer de riguer. LOL

I was with an escort this past summer and he said he had broken his dick. There was another escort present so I didn't pursue the subject too much. He said he had had an operation to fix it about two months before our meeting. His erection was about three quarters to seven eighths and he has a ten inch dick, very thick, so I didn't notice much difference when it slid in me. He and I had been together several times before and he always had a raging erection for up to two hours. He did bottom for the other escort though so he wouldn't have to maintain the erection too long. He said the doctor told him he should regain full erections over time. I haven't seen him since because of Covid restrictions. But I will see him in the next year as we keep in touch.

You're welcome. The per diem idea works well because it removes the dependency factor in a subtle way and the whole experience becomes more boy friend rather than transactional in tone. Of course I'm a great one at self delusion. LOL

One other thing I did do was to give him some "walking around" money. I didn't ask him whether he had credit cards he could use but since he was in a different country, having some cash in the local currency meant he could buy himself treats without asking me each time we were out in public. Also, I'm not the type to take escorts shopping. First I hate shopping myself, except for groceries, since I like to cook. Every other type of shopping I find a chore.

I can see why you are engaging an escort for 4 days since he is coming from afar. I've done a few times and it worked out fine but I did do my homework diligently before hiring. With an American escort, I helped by paying for his airfare as he was not in the habit of going outside the US. He was with me for two nights and three days. Lovely guy.

Another great line I once heard from someone who was underendowed in that department but smart in every other way: "It doesn't bother me if my penis doesn't please you. It sure gives me pleasure".

It used to be a destination. ?

Part of the concern we have about Daddy’s condition is also related in addition to his health the steps that can be taken to try to avoid falling into his situation when one lives alone and has a health crisis. There have been several suggestions that have been very useful in knowing how to prepare oneself. All of life is a learning experience if we are open to discussing things openly and with good intentions. Of course we are deeply concerned about Daddy but there is precious little we can do about it in the current circumstances.

I think in my dad’s case the coroner was called because they might have suspected foul play, because of his wife’s sudden death with no apparent trauma but a pillow would have sufficed. I was surprised to see him there actually, but as a lawyer, I could see what they were trying to establish. Was I in on a plan with my father? He had already given his version of events before I arrived and when they questioned me, my version coincided with his.

I understand POLST orders are relatively new but in any case they did not exist in Canada 20 years ago. The DNR order as I said was done by my stepmother's daughter, who was a physician. Since my step mother was in cardiac arrest and not breathing, once they read the order, they stopped from applying an electric charge to try to start the heart. They had only got to the stage of putting on the electrodes to her upper chest. I arrived at their home 20 minutes after this happened and the coroner and police were already there. I had pre-arranged with my father to pick him up to take him on a one week trip. If we had decided to leave one hour earlier, she would have died alone. My dad called 911 which was the right thing to do. As it was, I had to answer a few questions as to why I was there. A few minutes later the coroner signed the death certificate stating she had died of natural causes.

You're right. My mistake.

Being a bottom myself, I totally understand.

I don't see it that way. I would think the DNR relieves the EMRs from having to make the decision since the decision is made before hand by the person who wrote it. I also think that if a DNR is not followed, then if the person is brought back to life but suffers irreparable brain injury, the medics could be held accountable.

A little more background. My stepmother had three children who were doctors but hated going to doctors herself. She was the fatalistic type. She was 80 when she died and it was her first major event, health wise. My father was more the optimistic type but when he wrote his DNR, he had had two major heart attacks in the previous 5 years which left his heart quite damaged. He didn't want to survive a third heart attack and be incapacitated in a long term care home.

I thought the Pope was Argentinian. And Argentina is full of Italians, who went there after WWII. Even Adolph Eichman.

Good question.

My sister, who is younger than me and was a professor of nursing at a large university for 32 years, has my power of attorney and Living Will, as we call them here in Canada. The latter contains instructions as to what to do in the event I am incapacitated. I also have her contact info in my wallet, which I either carry with me when outside or have in the kitchen in plain sight. I live alone. My late father had an experience 20 years ago when his wife, my step-mother, went into cardiac arrest at their condo. Both she and my father had DNR's in an envelope, taped to their fridge door in the kitchen. When the medics came within 5 minutes to their apartment, they started immediately to try to resuscitate her. My father sent one of them into the kitchen to retrieve the envelope. He came back and told his team members to stop what they were doing and they let her die. The only reason they had done the DNR on the fridge was on account of her daughter, who was a physician and had advised them 6 months earlier. As a result, my step-mother's wishes were carried out.

Except I understand that Haulover Beach in North Miami still has a gay clothing optional beach. No such beach in Ftl.

One shouldn't confuse the cost of jewelry with its value, particularly if it belonged to a personage of world wide fame. I had a friend who was with a private bank in Geneva in 1987, when the first auction of the Duchess of Windsor's jewelry was being held. He went there to bid on behalf of the bank's clients, the Banque Privee de Geneve, owned by a Rothschild. He was a young and relatively inexperienced banker and came away astounded by the bids that were being made, as they invariably went over by substantial amounts of the pre-bid estimates. The same happened when Jackie Onassis's possessions were put up for auction a decade or so later. In the latter case, a lot of the stuff was "junk" but considered "magic" as Jackie had owned it. Also Edward VIII got a lot of jewelry for Wallis while he was Prince of Wales and for the short time he was king. Some of it was from the Royal family. There are stories that when Edward was still Prince of Wales and started dating Mrs. Simpson, her husband being conveniently absent in New York City where he had a business, she showed up with stunning diamond jewelry and other gems. She certainly made an impression at receptions and dinner parties, whose guests knew she had no private fortune of her own. During this period he had access to the Royal vaults, which was not the case after 1936. One of the top priced items was a diamond and ruby necklace he gave her while he was king for her 40th birthday, which went for $2.4 million, which today would be over $5 million. Admittedly, the baubles Edward bought after the marriage at Cartier did not come cheap but many cost only in the range of 10's of thousands of dollars, which 40 years later commanded prices at auction in the hundreds and even millions of dollars for the best of individual pieces. During the 1940's and 50's, $10,000 would buy a nice house in America in most cities. If you follow these things, as I sometimes do, the Royal family often sells casts offs from their family at auction, such as a decade or so ago when a lot of Princess Margaret's things went up for sale. The prices fetched were fabulous as Meg had the requisite glamour. More recently, stuff from Queen Mary was auctioned off, as a friend of mine bought a large piece of furniture from her estate. She paid 4 or 5 times the actual value of the antique and it came with an impressive parchment certificate from Sotheby's proving its provenance. You are right though that Edward was no cheapskate when it came to buying gifts for his wife "the woman I love", for whom he gave up the throne.

I read that at the time that Dodi had purchased the house but it is true the Windsor's only rented it. They did own a mill in France where the Duke liked to garden. The Royal family was stingy with the Duke and the couple always felt financially precarious which is why they never picked up the tab when out dining with friends.

That sounds more likely. Such a scene would not be in the Catcher.

Beware jacuzzi jets. Years ago I was at the gym of a university that was near my home and found myself relaxing after a workout by taking a jacuzzi. It was men only so no bathing suits required. The jacuzzi jets was near my rear end and felt pleasant massaging my butt so I got closer to it. Well too close, as it turned out. All of a sudden the jet of hot water penetrated my anus like a super hot enema, only with great force. A wave of nausea overcame me and I almost passed out. Boy did I get out of there fast and into a cold shower.

My understanding of the events that night was that they were leaving the Ritz Hotel, which was owned by Jodi Fayed's father, to go to the house Jodi had just bought in Paris, that had once been the home of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor in the Bois du Boulogne. I believe the driver was not Princess Diana's but Jodi's driver or he might have been an employee of the Ritz. He had been waiting a considerable time while the couple were having dinner at the hotel. During this time he had been drinking to pass the time, I suppose. Not at all professional, I admit. I don't think Diana was very familiar with him, as she would have been with her own driver. She did have the British body guard with her, though, the only one who survived (I assume he was hers but not sure of that). He should have paid more attention to the state of the driver, but I don't recall whether he was ever held blameworthy (he suffered immense head injuries and probably didn't remember much of the events just prior to the crash). I personally think Diana was the victim of circumstances beyond her control.

I think you have summed up the situation very well. You must be quite familiar with how the Monarchy functio I think your comments are spot on. The monarchy in Britain has been streamlining the Royal apparatus, if you want to call it that, for over a decade. The Queen is now paying taxes, the numbers of Royals on the "list" who receive free housing and other perks, are much reduced, and titles are not being handed out to all grandchildren willy-nilly, as they were in the days of Queen Victoria. Of course in those days, when there were royal families in most of Europe's countries, Queen Victoria was busy all her later life seeing that her progeny were suitably installed on thrones everywhere, whether allies or foes. The fact that Archie didn't get a title at birth was not a slight, in my view, in the context of the British monarchy trying to remold itself in the 21st century. When you think of it, only a generation or two ago, there were rigid rules about who could marry into the "Firm", as Harry and Megan refer to it. Lady Diana Spencer , Harry's mother, was not an outsider, even if not a Royal. Her family were ancient and illustrious nobles. Even Winston Churchill, a commoner but descendant of the Duke of Marlborough, was a Spencer (his middle name) Winston S. Churchill. Megan grew up in Los Angeles and would have faced discrimination in her youth. As her father stated the other day, California is not lacking in racism (he put it more directly). And he was a white man married to a Black woman. One would think she would have developed some coping mechanisms, even as we gay men have learned to cope, especially those of us who grew up before Stonewall. If Megan suffers from depression or other mental illnesses, then she should and can get help, especially now that she finds herself in Los Angeles. She won't be the first actress to go that route.
