I lived in Miami for the winters of 1998 to 2003, after I had retired. The winter weather was gorgeous. So glad I got to experience that.

They shut it down when AIDs struck

The steam room in St Marks in New York in those days was a large well lit tiled room with ranges of tiered sitting around the sides. The sex was going on like in a Roman baccanalia

From his guttural muttering I took him to be German lol Likd sweet nuthins in my ear

Pushed up against the tile wall with steam all around could hardly make out who was doing me

First time I got fucked in a sauna was in Munich in the 1970s

It was pretty steamy pun intended

I don’t go to saunas at my age anymore but back in the day a lot of sex was going on in the actual saunas.

From reading the article it seems having sex in saunas may be implicated. Fungus loves to spread in warm moist environments.

Hi ad is gone.

I'm one of those. And a top with an equally good sense of humour is nice to meet.

Don’t get your reference to Carol Channing and Hollywood. I was merely pointing out the type of English spoken on both sides of the Atlantic can differ and lead to some amusing misunderstandings.

Reminds me of the expression “Americans and British, divided by a common language” lol

It’s an interesting website. Has lots of info on gay related travel. In one page they list the 10 safest countries for gays to travel in and the 10 most dangerous. I was surprised to see Canada listed as number 1. Well maybe not totally surprised. But some European countries like the Netherlands or Denmark would have been ahead of Canada to my thinking. And France dropped off the top 10 list this year. The US was nowhere to be seen.

I was under the impression that the women in the recent case in New York had sought compensation for remaining quiet about their trysts with the defendant.

What used to be called blackmail is now referred to as hush money. Apparently, the latter is not illegal, as was often pointed out during the recent trial in New York.

Thanks for the info. I'm wondering though how to get the new one I have transplanted to twist and develop branches.

Anyone recognize this type of rubber plant. I’ve had it for 10 years or so and it was mature when I bought it. It has an interesting shape with multiple branches. The little one beside it I planted from a shoot of the mother plant but it is just growing straight up. How do I get it to branch out like the mother plant?

This may be true today in the UK but I am old enough to remember the Profumo affair. That was every bit as salacious as what we heard in a New York court room over the last 5 weeks. For the youngsters here, you can google it but briefly a British cabinet minister lied in the House of Commons about an affair he was having with a high class call girl, as they were referred to in those days. The fallout was spectacular and the whole escort scene in London was revealed to the entire world. The girls had a procurer who was a society osteopath and he committed suicide. Profumo lost his career and turned to good works with the less fortunate. It was even speculated that a youthful good looking American president had dallied but nothing came to light. Plus ca change.

I read in the news reports that Florida is one state where felons are treated harshly. Moving from New York to Florida and establishing your residence there can backfire if you contemplate committing a felony somewhere in the country and happen to get convicted.

In the case of financial crimes, I imagine they would get audited every year by the IRS. Some felons are used to that however. Keeps their accountants and lawyers busy.

Pope Francis has made a scene recently with his comments on gay seminarians.

Love the carpet. Persian I assume.

I have a different take on this subject than that expressed by most here. I lived and or worked for years in Europe and got used to “service compris”, or service included in restaurants with full service. This was added to the bill but not set out in a separate itemized price. Nowadays in Canada I find restaurants are using machines for payment that offer a few alternatives for tipping, like 18, 20 or 25 percent. I usually opt for 20 but if something was amiss, then 18. If the meal was presented in a superlative fashion I’ll go 25 percent. That’s rather rare.
