It definitely sounds like they can redesignate the funds at some point in time. If this was my gift, I would request the paragraph to be stricken. If the foundation is not agreeable to such removal, I would request that the decision to reallocate the funds be made by the foundation's board of direction rather than Chancellor.

I either didn't know or had forgotten that there was a Columbus connection with him. Of course, I didn't move to the area until 1999, so maybe that explains it.

My go-to brand for dress shoes is Allen Edmonds. I've notice that they now have sneakers, some that seem to fit the description. Men's Dress Sneakers & Casual Sneakers: Leather & Suede | Allen Edmonds

Just out of college, I traveled frequently with a group of friends and often four of us would share a hotel room to save on the budget (too many weddings the first two years out of school.) One of the fiends often talked in his sleep, using language that was unexpected coming from him. Turns out, he was often quoting movie lines - or that was his claim. We learned to ignore his sleep talk - and I decided I wouldn't watch movies this friend recommended.

While marijuana may not directly enhance performance, I have a college friend who has been smoking medical marijuana for years to address her arthritis pain. It doesn't directly address the condition, just helps with pain. I see how athletes could use this to allow them to show up and participate by masking their discomfort.

There's room for both in your wardrobe!

In high school and colleague, I taught swimming lessons for seven years. Advantages to learning to swim while wearing a brief cut (a/k/a Speedo), lycra square cut, or jammers are: As previously mentioned, swim trunks made from other materials can absorb the water and weigh one down. Other cuts from bulkier material may limit ones range of motion while trying to learn the various strokes. Wearing close fitting suits made of lycra or nylon allow the novice swimmer to better learn the feel of the water. Other, loosely fitting styles may "balloon" in the water, especially those with pockets. This additional drag makes it more difficult for people to move through the water. Quite frankly, many are designed for fashion and not function. Being distracted by trunks that are not staying in place because they don't have the functioning drawstrings that stay tied often hinders the quality of the lesson.

Thanks - I struggled finding the right example. Years ago, I had an employee leave the company when her husband got a new job in Kankakee. It was very fun to say out loud and every since it has been something I say to myself any time I want to smile.

I had forgotten how quick witted Carson can be.

And you didn't let me know this was going on?

@hwic04, in my experience, overnight appointments are not much different than weekend appointments. The difference is there's a little less time to get the know the guys you are spending time with. In my overnights, they have usually included dinner. They don't always include morning activities. I do think amount of play time will vary based on whether you are planning a week night or weeknd appointment. Many guys with jobs outside of escorting may indicate they need x hours of sleep to be ready for the office the next day.

I didn't have the chance to spend any 1:1 time with Damian in Palm Springs, but I did enjoy sitting across the table from him at dinner one evening. An absolutely lovely man.

What happens when we're at 69%? 😉

Sorry - that won't happen again!

In the meantime, I hear the Jeopardy! theme song running through my mind waiting for the tally!

What a great line!

@JeffThom - With other things in life, do you jump into the deep end right away, or do you tend to take small steps? I tend to be risk adverse. When I decided to act on my attraction to men (at age 44), I started with an erotic massage as it felt that it would not be a big risk. Back then advertisements on the massage sites were less restricted, and the guy I hired listed his services as 45 minutes of massage followed by 15 minutes of oral play. I decided that was enough to dip my toe in the water. For me, just having another naked man in the room who was touching me was wonderful. And the oral play made it even better. After that massage I was comfortable taking the next steps.

I will provide the third endorsement. I try to see him on each visit I make to Ft. Lauderdale.

This and the guys that are flabbergasted when a masseur advertises therapeutic massage only and only has one face photo and is disappointed that other services are not offered.

Hopefully this thread answers you question, Scott. Working on a new review site - Features & Feedback - M4M Forum (m4m-forum.org)

In my experience, I've seen Ask Me when the masseur offers a 90-min massage in addition to a 60-min massage. I've asked and been told that he's had potential clients expect the 60-min rate to be the 90-min rate, so it was easier to list the rates as Ask Me.

I think of some of the athletes that compete in "Olympic" sports such as swimming, track, wrestling, etc. and the relatively short window of opportunity compared to athletes competing in higher-profile sports such as football and basketball. For those individuals graduation (or the next Olympics) is often the end of their competitive careers and the opportunity to ink an endorsement deal is gone.
