I'm not sure about Japan but amongst the G7 countries, the USA lags far behind other advanced countries for vacation, sick leave, parental leave etc. In Canada, when I started working in 1973, I was entitled to 3 weeks vacation, 13 days sick leave and all could be carried over. When I retired 25 years later, I had over 260 days of sick leave and it all went up on smoke. I did use all my accumulated vacation in the form of severance pay. I think over the whole time I only took a couple of sick days annually except for my second year when I had an eye operation and needed a month to recuperate in a darkened room. My employer advanced me the time as I had not accumulated enough.

Is Lucky's sarcastic comment that difficult to grasp?

I sometimes experience mild sore throat symptoms (not acute as I assume you meant) after deepthroating cock for a prolongued session. I goes away after a day or two. I got gonorrhea of the throat a couple of times in my life and that results in a sore throat as well so if the symptoms persist get tested. The cure is relatively painless. You also need to alert your sexual partners, as you would appreciate having them inform you if they were infected. Here in Canada the public health authorities follow up if you test positive for an sti.

Maybe it helps me that I took an undergraduate degree in psychology and sociology. I then studied law and graduated with a degree in law. I acquired a lot of theoretical and practical knowledge of human behaviour. Along the way I learned a lot about myself as well. Society was undergoing incredible changes in the 1960's when I was in school and university. I was undergoing changes in myself and learning to live with being gay in a largely straight world. I managed to survive and I would say thrive in those times despite the difficulties of fitting in. Having friends, family and colleagues and some lovers along the way gave me great support. I also tried to be nice to people along the way. You get back what you give. I never felt the need for therapy. Having gay family doctors at crucial times in my life helped. I consider myself lucky but I also made good decisions for myself as well. Like avoiding drugs, too much alcohol and other self destructive behaviour.

Why in heaven's name would a normal, well adjusted person need a therapist?

I just watched a concert he gave in Toronto in 1968 in a stadium which someone posted in the NYT in the comments section of his obit. While I appreciated his singing style and thumping of the piano, his music didn't do as much for me as some of the other talents of that period. The camera panned to the audience frequently and there they were in the dazzling sunshine, thousands of pretty girls and slim young men dancing along to the music. My generation, the boomers. Today they are all old and gray or worse, gone. Sic transit gloria.

It's been 27 hours since my second dose and only a little mark where tje needle went in. No side effects.

I would for an hour with Cade Maddox but that's just me. I would want it on film though with release rights so I could peddle it to Lucas Entertainment. Lol.

I went to Montreal today and got my second vax sc. The nurse told me I should get a booster 2 years from now as the effects of the two I received will wear off. We'll see what the situation is then. Meantime I feel I have done what I can to deal with the threat of acquiring Monkeypox. Took advantage of the visit to eat at one of my favorite restaurants. And then a lovely walk along the beautiful historic Lachine Canal where it empties into Lac St. Louie.

I don't recall you criticizing the CDC when it dropped its recommendation on masking indoors in March 2021, when other countries like Canada didn't follow suit. And then the CDC having to reverse itself a few months months later when Delta was deemed to be a game changer.

I have tried to loosen up a little in the last few months but as I caught a cold the other day I realize that using a mask over the last several years has decreased my risk of infection from viruses generally. These last few days I have donned a mask whenever encountering anyone. I live alone but saw an escort late last week. I wonder whether he gave me the cold. He did kiss me.

I never use their products. What's wrong with good old soap.

Epigonos and I both go back to the HooBoy era but we have never met in person. Still, from his entertaining posts I felt I had come to know him as he was so open about talking about his life. I knew he was older than myself and admired how he still led an adventursome life right up to the end. Oliver, I know you and he were close friends so this must be a terrible shock, coming as it has so suddenly. Take care of yourself, talk to friends and please stay engaged on this forum. I was so looking forward to meeting Epigonos next April in PS. And sampling his devilled eggs, which he despised but loved to make.

Demanding???

God, is French Market still going? I went there a few times in the 1990's.

Just read that document and it is written to deal with cases where a guest stays in a rental unit with a tenant, not a person who owns their own residence. It lays out the rules in all the states where the guest becomes a tenant that is added to the lease if they meet the criteria. It doesn't deal with unwanted guests in someone's home which belongs to them.

Many thanks to RadioBob for this complicated and prudential task. You have our deepest gratitude for all you do for this site.

I've only run into a few escorts who told me they took drugs for anxiety. One was an American porn star. I've never been afflicted by anxiety or depression or other mental disorders requiring treatment so I can't presume to know what drove them to medications. I think there is a stigma attached to mental problems and it's no different in the escort world.

Todat's RM indicates he's in Guam and already has a positive review from there. You may have to wait awhile to get his attention.

I got a cold on the weekend and am still coughing. Putting a mask on when in indoor places. Will work from home tomorrow when I was scheduled to go in at a volunteer organization with several elderly colleagues. I had the same thing in April, no fever, nausea, sore throat or loss of taste and smell. I tested negative then and will test tomorrow just to make sure.

Asking for problems. Haven't you already paid for his rent for the year?

Yes. They took away Brooks Akinson's name from the theatre. What did he do to deserve that?.

The NYT today has an article about the late Lena Horn's co-op being recently listed for sale at just over $2million. Six rooms and huge living room 30x17 in the Volnay on UES. The downside is the $5900 monthly maintenance fee, hence the bargain price for over 2100 sq ft in a nice area. In house restaurant an added feature.

That works out to 50 french fries per serving of mashed potato. That seems about right when you consider how many fries accompany the main course in most restaurants. I can only get through about 15 the odd time I order them.

I'd rather you just send me the cake. Lol.
