Agree we can’t discuss the question of Hamas in this forum but we could at least get the spelling correct. Lol

As I pointed out above we should be talking about balances at the end of each month, not monthly charges. If you leave $1000 on your card regularly each month you are racking up interest expenses. If you can you should pay off the entire amount of your monthly charges at the end of each month.

I read the article fully and only saw in the corrections at the end they are talking about debt being balances kept at the end of each month. So charges on your card that are paid off completely each month don’t figure as credit card debt. The good articles on this subject will specify what percentage of consumers pay off their balances each month and therefore incur no interest each month. The standard rates on most cards here in Canada are over 20 percent so there is a great incentive not to incur charges that can’t be paid off monthly. 20 years ago when interest rates were higher than today, the standard rates on credit cards were around 9 percent. Then they went to 13 percent. Then to 19 percent. All this while interest rates generally were going down to very low levels. Credit cards are the worst form of debt to carry other than pay day loans or debts to loan sharks. Ironically these latter types of debt are carried by the poorest in society.

Very unusual profile. Older guy but looks like fun. Don’t like the pnp tho. Looks like he is as well equipped as his mount. 😍

Just to keep some balance in my life, I also love assuming the bottom position in my extra- curricular activities involving escorts where I am the volunteer with some hired help.

For me going to university meant the opportunity to cultivate my mind. Perhaps a quaint notion these days but my having attended 8 years of post high school education gave me the foundation to pursue the career I wanted. I’ve been retired for 25 years after taking an early retirement and continue to cultivate my mind. Learning in different environments has given me new skills and competencies. I currently hold top positions in three organizations on a volunteer basis and write a regular newspaper column. I could never have succeeded at these and other posts I have held during my so called retirement if I had’t gone to university and learned how to learn.

I think it depends on the closeness of the relationship in actual fact, not the nominal relationship. Some people might be closer to an uncle than to their own father, for instance. A cousin may mean more than a brother or sister you never got along with in life. When one of these people die in the middle of the night those next to them when it happens immediately want to let you know. I understand that. Perhaps I would hold back if I were in that situation but I understand why others might not.

Are you a former boyfriend that she ditched?

I still have my landline along with my computer for emails and my smartphone for a lot of things all in one device. I use my old phone quite a bit and people still call me on it almost daily during the week. The landline is also connected to my security system in my home. I will never give it up but in my life a couple of the most dramatic events came late at night when I got that dreaded call in the middle of the night. In both cases it was about someone close in my family having just died. Of course once you receive that news you don’t go back to bed again and know your life has been irrevocably changed. But I didn’t mind. I can’t imagine getting such news in any other way unless they come to your door.

He was just in Ottawa these last few days. Probably had a client who flew him in and he decided to stay a couple of days. I wasn’t tempted to make the short trip to try to see him. Did I miss something?

I’ve never actually had that happen to me. Only once did I feel an escort not wear the appropriate outfit and that was in NYC with a guy who was doing porn for Lucas Entertainment at the time. I had met with him previously in Montreal and we had several dates set up for my trip to NY. It was our first night together and I had told him where we were going, to an upscale restaurant close to my mid town hotel. He showed up in cut off jeans and a tank top. Of course it showed off his gorgeous physique so I just went with the flow. At the restaurant the maître d’ placed us at a table discreetly tucked away near the rear with quite subdued lighting. But we got excellent service with all the male waiters responding to our every request and even unspoken desire. They were especially solicitous to my date. When the time came for the check, they didn’ t bother to ask but just handed it me. 😂

Looks like last October was a bad month for him. Both his negative reviews are from then. The other 5 are stellar and from different times.

From the pics and his ad claiming 8 inches, if that is all true then many who claim 8 are south of 7.

I have the odd time asked a provider to wear a jockstrap when I see him in one in a photo. I did this recently and he obliged without any mention of a costume fee. He was getting $300 for the incall at his place but I gave him his outcall fee of $350 since he was so good.

That has not been my experience at all over the many years I have hired (except one recent appointment where the provider claimed to have gotten food poisoning just before our time). Normally I make the arrangements days in advance so there is little reason for the provider to flake unless that is in his nature. I vet my selections well so avoid those who have sketchy reviews or none.

I would think not. I avoided it for the longest time for fear of choking or even aspirating the piss. Then I tried it with a very skilled top after we had had several sessions so I was confident in his abilities. Unfortunately on the second go around he experienced some discomfort with his dick. I think it flexed the wrong way which could lead to a serious injury. It didn’t but he didn’t want to repeat which I thoroughly understood. I found another top recently and we tried it in a different position and everything went swimmingly.

Yes it is. 10 percent down. Only another $40,000 to pay. Or 9 more coats. 😀

I would generally agree with that but with Russian sable, the world’s most expensive fur, it would seem a shame to hide it on the inside. The few times when I wear it on the outside of this reversible jacket, I get the odd compliment. Encountering three people once on a snowy night in Montreal going the other way, one of the group said “Wow did you see that coat” after he had passed by.

I had checked their value a couple of times over the years and yes, they are quite valuable as they are in nice condition. I’ve never believed in insuring my art works or other valuable artifacts that are only in the range of several thousand dollars apiece. The cost of insurance riders would eat up appreciation in values over the years. Also another thing is the valuation by an expert. Those don’t come cheap. You’re looking at about $140 for an item that is maybe worth $4000 or so. That is what I was charged last year for a gold item that was to be donated to a charitable cause since Revenue Canada insists on a valuation by an expert in order to accept a tax receipt for any item over $1000. Some charities will pay for the valuation in order to get the gift, I have also experienced.

If we do, I would be happy to collect the funds and present them to him personally. I could put your names on a card which I would give to him after we had met. 😜

I thought they were reasonable. I have a leather reversible Russian sable jacket that retailed for $35,000 US. That was over 15 years ago and it looks as good as the day I got it. (I paid much much less as I bought it from the estate of a man who died shortly after getting the jacket and his widow just wanted to get rid of it.) The fur is dark brown blue point Russian sable vertically sewn in entire pelts and the leather is buttery soft dark chocolate brown. Very simple design with slit pockets and fur shawl collar that is the only part that shows fur when the leather is worn outside. On the reverse only fur shows, for those days when the temperatures plummet. In 1982 I bought a leather Armani bomber jacket in Florence the first year he established his store. It cost about $1000 then and I still have it. I would wear it but it’s too small for me now as that was my skinny 160 pound period and now I’m 180. The same for the green leather pants I bought on the same visit. Those I gave to a female friend years later. You never regret buying quality clothes.

If I understand your situation, you initially hired this bi or gay for pay escort off Rentmen mostly to satisfy your curiosity about having gay sex and since you say it hurt I assume he fucked you. You didn’t want to repeat that but wanted to see him again repeatedly based on mostly a platonic level and this went on for years with you travelling to his state far away. The odd time some sex might transpire but not the heavy stuff I assume, Regarding payment for his time, you had a casual understanding that money need not change hands most of the time but expensive gifts he desired (since they were on his wish list) you willingly showered on him to the tune of thousands of dollars. Then things turned frosty fairly suddenly and he demanded back payment sort of like the tax man coming at you for taxes unpaid from previous years. When you demurred, he blocked you. If this is an objective assessment of your situation, hurt as it may, since you obviously have strong feelings for his friendship, you should try to forget him as a part of your future and focus on other aspects of your life that give you happiness and satisfaction. I had a situation years ago a bit like yours but different in some major ways and I had to put a stop to our relationship. Fifteen years later I rarely think about him even when looking at his magnificent paintings in my home which I paid him to do as I was helping him to get established as an artist. His work became much more valuable later but he never sent me a bill for past work.

My father gave me the books over 40 years ago. I always intended to read them and now I have. I will be passing them on to my nephew, who has two sons in their teens. Maybe they will read them too as I understand at least one is a keen reader.

It may be expensive but most of the items appear to be very practical in terms of serviceability. Useful additions for any young man on the go. Now he just needs to find a sd to finance their acquisition.

Interestingly I am reading the diaries of Captain Robert Scott from the time of his last ill fated expedition to the South Pole. New Year’s Day in 1912 was a Monday. He died before the spring but his diaries were discovered 8 months later in his frozen tent alongside him and his two companions. The diaries were turned into a book produced in two volumes entitled Scott’s Last Expedition which I inherited from my grandfather through my father. He acquired a first edition in 1913 when it was first published. A gripping tale. There is an entry for almost everyday of the expedition until the day he died, when he wrote his last words.
