My apologies, as that was not my intent. I was simply responding to the question I was asked in reply to my original post in the thread. That post I believe was on topic.

We were the first jury under the court's social distancing practices. Jury box had been partitioned off so that we each had our own 'box' with a chair and divider between each of us and the two rows. From about shoulders up the partitions were Plexiglas. There were no sidebars in the typical sense, as the sidebars couldn't be done with social distancing. As such, the prosecution, defense, and judge left the room to be able to remain 6 ft. separate and have the sidebar conversation. Jurors were not required to wear masks; however, 12 of the 14 jurors did wear them. I took mine off when I needed my glasses to see exhibits that were projected across the room. A couple of others removed them most of the time we were seated. All court staff also had them on when moving around; however, as the testimony was being given, they were usually removed as everyone was at least 10 feet apart. In the jury room, we each had a designated spot where we remained other than to use the restroom. After the first day, many of us got comfortable removing our masks in the jury room as it was difficult to hear folks seated across the room with the masks on. Overall, the court was well-prepared to support social distancing.

I just completed four days of jury duty. As such, I did my first dining out (I've been doing pick up or delivery once or twice a week all along) since March. It was a very different experience, but it was also at restaurants that I would not normally eat as the courthouse was not near my usual hangouts.

I don't understand why the original pride flag didn't already cover everyone.

I have trips planned in July (FL), August (IN) and September (CA.) Hopefully they will all still take place.

I braved the Columbus casino last weekend - day two of its reopening. Masks were required at all table games and as soon as someone left the table the pit boss was sanitizing it to make it available for another player. We could hold our cards at games that typically would allow it. Only three people allowed at each table, but since there was no wait, it was a moot point. Masks were not required at the slot machines and about half of the guests were wearing them. I may go back this weekend and see if things are more lively. Let me know when you want to venture to the Midwest.

One of my neighbors is collecting items for the local food pantry. Since most of my groceries are perishables, I ran to the store tonight to pick up items on the "needed" list. The difference in the Giant Eagle I shopped at tonight vs. the Meijer I've been primarily using during the pandemic has me stumped. The vibe at the Meijer has pretty much returned to pre-COVID levels: energetic customers and employees, well-lit, and fairly busy. The vibe at Giant Eagle is much different that pre-COVID: eerily quiet, few customers, (but employee friendliness was still strong.) I'm chalking it up in part to the good reviews I'm hearing about the Giant Eagle pick up and delivery service in comparison to Meijer.

Who needs labels these days? Just be Biff and Baller until something naturally evolves to describe your relationship.

I think we are due for some luck. It's got to happen!!!!

I've talked to Josh a couple of times trying to connect. The conversations have been great and I hope to schedule time with him in the future. We were to meet this spring right around the time my employers' travel restrictions were being introduced and we had to cancel.

I remember watching the show with my father when Wally Bruner was the host. Potential panelists for a current version - Martha Stewart, John Legend, Donna Murphy, Maria Shriver, Ru Paul, Mario Lopez

Prior to the ads getting watered down, I chose him for my first gay massage years ago because his ad was very upfront. I miss the days of uncensored ads.

I didn't think of it as disappointing. I took it as an indication that I was asking for services he wasn't providing. (I forgot to mention that it was also a week in advance of my arrival in PS.) His quick reply, even if a little brief, allowed me to make other arrangements.

I reached out to him in 2019. I sent my stats and expressed interest in an erotic session and the reply was, "I'll pass."

Congratulations Victor! My the new venture bring you every success you hope to achieve.

It's been a couple of years since I saw him when he was visiting my town, but I would see Joe again. https://rentmasseur.com/MuscledMasseur

In the financial industry, we see customers fall prey to this type of scam all the time. It usually happens when an email has been hacked and the hacker is rerouting traffic through its site to get the victims' personal information. Look at the email address for the response to see if it was from [email protected]. Many times the spammer's email will show in your in box as the name of the valid business; however, when you look at the actual email address it will be something like, "[email protected]."

It is great fun to meet others. There are plenty of great guys that post here, and I've found that I know I interpret the post of someone I've met differently when I know more of their personal background than is often shared here.

I'm guessing it is a bit of both safety and long-term profits. The reputational risk of a COVID-19 outbreak caused by a non-registered guest could be huge, and the expenses of appropriately screening customers for a day pass are probably a break-even prospect at best.

I've only had one escort ask for a photo. When setting up the appointment, I told him we previously met when he was with another Forum member in a group setting. I assumed that he had asked to make sure he was correctly connecting the right face with my name. While I rarely am asked my stats, I don't hesitate providing them. I decided long ago that as long as he's not asking for my debit card PIN, the more an escort knows about me the better experience I may have.

The grocery I worked at from 1980 - 86 envisioned itself as a classy shopping experience. (The aisles were carpeted.) As such, the PDQ stocking option was not possible. The one thing you did not want to see when you checked your stocking assignment for your shift was the baby food aisle. Getting all of those small jars to stock neatly was a royal pain. A close second was the cat food in the days of the tin cans before the pull top aluminum cans current used were available.

I had an emergency today when I decided it was too warm for coffee in the morning and decided to have a diet Coke. The when I had my lunchtime diet Coke, the refrigerator was bare. As soon as I finished my last conference call I dashed to the grocery. While I was there, I noticed all of the employees were wearing masks; however, I was the only one of ten customers I saw that was wearing one. I didn't expect that everyone would be masked, but I was surprised that I was the only customer.
