Highly unlikely. I didn't see anyone taking photos at the event in respect to our host Oliver's request to not take any.

If I'm meeting a guy for the first time in a public place with the intent to get to know the guy first, it would depend on the casino and the location within the casino. I don't want to be trying to talk to the guy over a lousy house band or next to the penny slots that pay out every 15 seconds with the flashing lights and blaring horns. But if there is a bar in a quieter area of the casino, it works well.

As a banker, I can attest to the benefits of reviewing the financials and how that has helped the heirs of the deceased. (a) upon hearing of the passing on someone, it is not uncommon for a provider to 'accidently' bill for services that were already paid. (b) sometimes the review of the checkbook ledger uncovers a $10,000 check paid to Bank X (not the regular bank of the deceased) leading to the discovery of a certificate of deposit. When my grandmother died, not only were her checkbooks reviewed, but was also reviewed any of her folders with her records of investments or insurance policies purchased. In doing so, we found cash here and there. Grandma always wanted to have 'emergency cash' on hand, but didn't want it in her purse. We suspect that her financial records were some place she would remember she had hidden money in the house.

I feel fortunate that my health insurance through my employer covers Truvada. I only pay $10 co-pay. What I do find intriguing is that the insurance will not cover a 90-day supply and I must refill every 30 days. My physician and my pharmacy indicate that they have several other patients whose insurance does allow a 90-day refill.

I think if your are responding to an email or text message, it is fine to direct me to your website if the question is a generic "what are your fees?" However, if the question is asked during a phone conversation, then a direct response would be appropriate. Where I would recommend a direct response would be if you are engaged in an exchange about spending time together and the question is specific, "what is your fee for a two-hour appointment?" A response of $x would be appropriate and then reference your website as well. I would understand that a back and forth of asking for all options would not be appropriate.

Take him to a Goodwill store. You never know what will be on the rack.

I understand about decompressing. Adding in the return to the Eastern Time Zone and my first day back yesterday was all scrambled. Always good to catch up with everyone. Conversations at the breakfast tables each morning is one of the highlights for me; reconnecting with some forum members and making new friends - what a better way to start the day!

I've seen a several of masseurs in their homes; it makes the whole massage a better experience. They often have rooms that are set up to provide the massage with a good table, appropriate lighting, and music available to set a relaxing mood. Those sessions have been great. I've only had two escorts invite me to an in call their residences. Two things that would make me uncomfortable with in calls to a provider's residence: cats (I have an allergy) and someone else (roommate/spouse) being present during my session.

Well......climbing over each other is never a problem for me.

Epigonos, thank you - I don't know how toys weren't on my packing list yet.

So I'm beginning to pack for my week in Palm Springs. As a gay man, how many pieces of luggage is acceptable?

If there is a separate resort fee from the charge for the room, it may cover the housekeeping gratuity. It would be appropriate to ask when you check in. If the there is one flat resort fee, then I assume that it does not include the gratuity and leave something.

A banker kept calling me. I asked him to leave me a loan.

I'm sure the increase due the virtuous hearts of the younger generation. Abstaining from any sex for one year makes a gay guy eligible to be a blood donor.

Two weeks!

My second-grade teacher is a neighbor of my mothers, so I see her once or twice a year on visits back home. I occasionally hear from my high school German teacher, and another high school teacher married a friend from college (also a teacher) so I occasionally see them at my college homecoming.

My last visit I stayed at LaTeDa and enjoyed it quite a bit. And Randy Roberts' show there is great. I enjoy going to Camille's for breakfast.

Kman - I am a banker and sent you a PM.

I am looking forward to catching up with every one. The morning chats while enjoying a second or third cup of coffee are among the highlights of the week for me.

I just realized that I check into InnDulge in only 34 days! Hopefully that also means no more hearing about wind chill factor on the weather forecast.

If you are playing, I'm in.

Bumping this message so others who may have missed the opportunity to support the efforts for one of our members can do so.

The grin on our faces gives tells others what we are (or not) wearing. Especially when we're being tramps.

Sorry, the merchandising of items with that slogan has been restricted to jock straps and thongs....

David - Thanks for sharing your story. I'm looking forward to reading it. 40% there....
