  1. Please don't mention such forbidden words ? - I want all things in this hobby back to how they were in 2019.?
  2. Sometime after her 98th birthday, my grandmother didn't always have enough things to keep her mind busy, so one day, she sat down with one of my sisters to plan her memorial service. Besides a prayer, three hymns, and comments from the pastor, each of her adult decedents was to speak at the service; the great-grandchildren did not need to speak. One sister was to talk about her career in education, my mother was to discuss her youth, my uncle her faith and how she met her husband through church, and my other sister was to talk about her as a parent, grandparent, and great-grandmother. And what was the assigned topic for me? Grandma thought it would be important for me to discuss the active and vibrant sex life my grandparents shared with each other well into their 70s (just before my grandfathers passing.) Needless to say, we wanted to keep the service under an hour and some of the content was edited out.
  3. Participation in this hobby is what ties attendees at this event together more than any other factor. I've enjoyed talking to gentlemen nearly 25 years my senior as well as 25 years younger at the pool party.
  4. Water sports is a great example of a fetish I have not learned to enjoy. For me, they do nothing. However, I'm not repulsed by them either. So even thought for me its a big 'meh,' I have agreed to participate the few times I've been requested. Still nothing. However, leather is another story. I'm more and more interested in that fetish as time goes by. I'm still a novice, but open to learning more over time.
  5. In the past, I've not taken part in this hobby much after the first weekend in December, so this year will not be much different. My work schedule is usually busy getting things completed prior to year-end. And then I spend time visiting my family out of town. By January, I'm ready to get back in the swing of things.
  6. I retired in August and successfully signed up for COBRA without missing a day of insurance coverage. While vacationing in Las Vegas last month, I received a call from my former employer asking me to come back to work on a project through most of 2021.
  7. My grandfather had a routine of polishing his shoes every Sunday evening. He was raised in a family where resources were limited and he only had one pair of good shoes through all of college and grad school. He felt is was important to keep them polished so they would last. Eventually he added a second pair of shoes so that he would always have available a pair when it was time to get the other pair resoled. I've not been a frugal as my grandfather. About once a quarter I realize that a pair of shoes needs polishing, so I pull out all of the shoes I can polish and do them all at once.
  8. I regret that I didn't get an escort in my non-vaccine bubble....
  9. The Walleyes? Most common fish in Lake Erie.
  10. The four-month countdown has begun!
  11. I think sending cards to clients that you have fired would give the impression that you want them back as clients. For comparison - When I was still in a customer facing role at the bank, we would only send cards to existing customers and top prospects. Customers who we asked to leave did not receive a card.
  12. Adam4Adam - Free online dating & hookup, gay, chat, cam
  13. Thanks for the reminder - I need to sit down and address them. I bought them weeks ago. As recently as five years ago, I sent close to 100 cards, including co-workers, those that were associated with the non-profit whose board I was the chair, and neighbors. Once my tenure on the board ended, I reduced the list to college friends and family members. Now that nieces as nephews are moving out on their own, my mailing list has grown to about 50. In some years I've done a brief note including my travels and work events, but haven't so in a few years.
  14. It was fairly good - I saw him a couple more times. He was near my mother's house (she lives a couple of hours away from me) and I was able to schedule time with him while I visited, usually on my way out of town. I've not been back to him since as trying to coordinate activities when I'm visiting Mom simply became too much of an effort.
  15. I received my first massage that included a prostate massage from that masseur ten years ago.
  16. Your ad hasn't resulted in anyone phoning / texting to schedule an appointment? Maybe in addition to spell checking, you should proof read your phone number.
  17. 1. Family is the one you choose, not the one you are born into - although the one you are born into may be part of your chosen family. 2. Make sure to balance your work life with your personal life. 3. Get out of the closet.
  18. At this time I wouldn't schedule a special appointment to address it. I would bring it up at my next regularly scheduled appointment.
  19. Mostly, the 71 do not get completed, even with the cheating. My patience wears out after 45 minutes or so.
  20. Yesterday I went shopping and as I approached the area where paper towels and toilet paper were stocked, I was relieved to see that the shelves were fully stocked. Then as I got closer, I was disappointed to discover that I was going need to buy generic as the Cottonelle that I prefer (nor any other brand) was in stock. As soon as I can find the Cottonelle, I will be restocking the guest bathroom reserve supply with the generic. (Not that a guest has used the guest bathroom since February.)
  21. I'm assuming that you mean other than seeing his mug shot as part of the evening news. If so, then no.
  22. One thing I'm trying to do is a crossword puzzle several days a week. So far, I'm 1 for 72 in being able to complete one without "cheating."
  23. BVB was one of the first members to send me a private message when I began posting. His warm outreach helped me quickly realize how much benefit I could receive from staying connected to the forum.
  24. Accidently left porn (not erotic art) out in my residence where visitors have seen it.
