  1. He sure can throw a mean f**k. And he’s now doing bb films. I wonder what he does for clients.
  2. I was once in a long relationship with an escort (5 years) and he got in trouble with the law once and went to jail for something like 6 months but only served time in for about two and a half months. He went to Bordeaux Jail in Montreal which is for criminals serving up to two years less a day. Beyond that you go to the penitentiary which is for much more serious crimes. My guy was a sweetheart and we did a lot together outside of the bedroom and he practically lived at my place for half the week every week. The rest of the time he was with his girlfriend. .Anyway, I really missed him so I started to visit him after making arrangements with the jail. He picked me as his only visitor over his mother and gf. Probably because I set up an account of $100 for him to spend on stuff in the jail store and would replenish it as required. I don't think his gf would have done that as I think she had brought charges against him. Anyway, when he got out I picked him up and we resumed life as if nothing had happened. (The story has many more chapters but too long to relate here.)
  3. He'd better be careful then, as he may end up there again.
  4. What sort of crimes land you in San Quentin?
  5. And, if they pay taxes on their income, they can claim it as a business expense.
  6. I don't find that outrageous considering what escorts charge for their services. They reach a wide audience of potential clients from around the world and the decent ones make a good living, as they should, for providing an "essential" service. I am alos willing to pay for the premium service as a client so I can see a little more about what I am looking for. I think it's a good business model all around.
  7. The Christians got pretty good at dispatching non believers during the Spanish Inquisition a thousand years later when they were in control of Europe. And it wasn't restricted just to Spain, as the name would suggest; they were burning, beheading and burying alive their victims in far greater numbers all across Europe than the number of Christians killed by the Roman pagans. In the Netherlands alone, priests killed thousands which led to the Dutch revolt against the Catholic Church.
  8. What about Bernie Cornfeld's IOS mutual fund, which collapsed in 1970, leaving thousands of investors with huge losses. Technically, it collapsed shortly after Robert Vesco took over from Bernie, after irregularities were discovered in the accounting department,
  9. I have to agree with you that in cultural terms, especially architecture and their development of the arch which led to the dome over the Pantheon, the Romans had a genius which was also allied to engineering. In style, they borrowed heavily from the Greeks (and the Etruscans), who in a sense were more original, but the Romans extended exponentially to creating structures that served all aspects of living (and dying). The Romans had indoor plumbing and central heating, things that only became available in Britain at the end of the Victorian period, And of course, in terms of bread and circuses, you couldn't beat the Roman Forum and the gladiator spectacles.
  10. Why do you find the drying difficult? I use my home appliances and because towels get heavy when wet, I need to do multiple loads after having an escort for an overnight (pun intended). On the other hand, once they come out of the washer, most of the water has been wrung out of them so they are lighter and hence you can do more in a single load.
  11. Back to the jokes: uck my ick.
  12. 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
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.

    Literature

    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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. No pee in providers, no deal.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. I use a whole mattress cover rather than small pads. Takes the worry out of soaking the mattress.
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
