  1. @BasketBaller, it would be great to have you join us in DC!
  2. Make sure to follow the instructions for the pain meds. Don't wait until you need them to take them.
  3. @SundayZip that was the reaction I was expecting - nothing inappropriate at all. [uSER=8086] Sounds like a special room at Canyon Club......[/user]
  4. I tip my barber $5 per haircut. (Cut was $15, but increased to $16 this year.) At my last haircut of the year, I pay him $40.

  6. There is quite a bit of information on the subject of undetectable = untransmittable. Here is a link to one such article. https://www.positivelyaware.com/articles/undetectable-equals-untransmittable Perhaps reviewing some of these studies will help you reach a decision.
  7. She's apologizing for the pain and she states asks if it hurts. Although I think she is also aware of the embarrassment factor as well. On my last visit, she dropped the swab before getting the sample and had to leave the exam room to get another clean one. Before leaving, she gave me an option to cover up in case someone was walking by as she opened the door.
  8. Two of PK's three listed items. And internet porn.
  9. I've not experienced any discomfort from the rectal swabbing. Yes, I can feel what's going on, but not to the point of pain.
  10. Despite my concerns about it being potentially rigged, I have to admit I was pleased to see Sharna finally win.
  11. I've learned to say at some point in the message, "I'd like to unwind now, so I might nod off. Feel free to nudge me if I start to snore." That has been successful in getting the chit-chat to stop.
  12. My primary physician won't do the things necessary to test for these. He's nearing retirement and isn't interested in keeping up on PrEP. As such, I see another physician in the office for anything related to sexual health. I am one of four patients in the office she sees for PrEP. She swabs for both oral and rectal samples. I find it amusing that she assumes that the rectal swab might cause pain and she apologies every time for needing to do it.
  13. I taped most of the season and watched the finale late last night. For the first time I felt the show was rigged. (1) All four routines received perfect scores for their second dance. No way that the winner's routine was on par with the other dances. As value of the judges' scores are represented as a percentage of the total scores for all teams. As a result, this improved the score for the eventual winner compared to the other dancers. (2) The fan voting was real time and thus only available to the audiences watching the show live. I suspect that the eventual winner's fan base is skewed to those time zones and thus it helped him more than his competitors. I wonder if the fan voting would have had the same result if the standard overnight voting was allowed with a results show the next night as in many of the past seasons.
  14. In her latter years, my grandmother felt she had a right to say anything she thought in public to whomever she felt needed to hear it. We discussed it with her several times and nothing changed. While out for Sunday brunch, she made an inappropriate comment to her great-grandson loudly enough that the customers at nearby tables all stopped talking and stared at my nephew. I stood up without saying anything, released the brakes on here wheelchair and rolled her out the front door to the car. When she claimed that she wasn't done yet, I explained to her why she was done and told her if she ever again made such a comment, I would not join her for family meals again. After many years of conversation, that finally hit the mark. I recommend straight talk now, let her know there will be consequences. Include how her behavior affects your enjoyment of the event and you are tired of it. Let her know if she does it again, you will not be attending future events if she continues the behavior so that you can enjoy the holidays.
  15. Having served on a board of a non-profit, I know that many times specifically donated funds for something like this rarely go to administrative expenses, as an organization like the Red Cross already has the administrative expenses covered from its general fund. Overhead expenses, such as transporting relief supplies, are still incurred, but reduced through donations from businesses of the services and individuals and religious groups volunteering to provide the man-hours needed to deliver the relief.
  16. As if a good, professional photographer couldn't adequately capture this. I hope that if she does leave behind the "artwork" for the grandkids there are also sufficient funds for the years of counseling they may need.
  17. When I got into my car for my drive home from work last night, the radio picked up the middle of an ad from the American Red Cross seeking donations. What I heard was, "to donate to California wildfires, please visit xxx.org or call toll free to (800) xxx-xxxx. Your support is needed. To donate to California wildfires, please visit xxx.org or call toll free to (800) xxx-xxxx." (Yes, the sentence was repeated.) All I could think was, "Those fires are burning just fine without my financial support." This morning I heard the full commercial and the part I missed mentioned how the funds will be used to support the victims of the fires, but the ending of the commercial did in fact ask for donations for "California wildfires" and not "California wildfire relief" or some other phrase representing how they are really using the funds.
  18. I think so, and you asked what her favorite album cover is.
  19. I think you would like Jake Hughes. I visited DC the summer of '17 to do some sightseeing with a friend and had a massage from Jake the night I arrived. https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/29878/
  20. In the days of grinder hook ups and all, I'm not sure that any partner you have in the future expect that you've been waiting for Mr. Perfect. That being the case, I know that I've hired fewer times than the number of hook-ups some friends have had. So if the discussion comes up about your sexual past, feel comfortable stating that you've had x partners. If asked how you met someone, feel free to use one of the answers I use truthfully: "we met on-line" or "I was feeling lonely and wanted a hook up, and I saw his ad."
  21. Save me a seat at your table!
  22. "Did you mean to leave this at the front door?"
  23. I've had several users of walkers indicate that they like having a basket on their walkers. Perhaps things are more likely to fall to the floor with a tray?
  24. I saw this film this morning and enjoyed it quite a bit. While I wouldn't say that I'm a Queen fan (other than Freddy Mercury, I couldn't name a member of the band before seeing the movie), I do enjoy several of their songs. It is the music that makes the film.
  25. Three siblings were killed in the Indiana this week while waiting for their bus in the dark.
