  1. I have done several extended hires from 2 to 5 days. I've only had good experiences. I attribute that to careful selection of my companion and clear communication of about my expectations for our time together. I always expect the guy I'm with to want some time to take care of personal business or go to the gym. (If I don't let him at least answer emails, this forum will eat him up for being non-responsive.) Sometimes there are shows, sometimes bar hopping, usually at least one nicer dinner, and perhaps some sight seeing. I think of it as a long weekend traveling with my college friends that we do several things together with some solo time. Very casual and just hanging out.
  2. Thank you for sharing this update. So glad there was a peaceful ending to this chapter of Ian's story.
  3. We discussed this one at my weekly poker game Friday night. My friend who got the email knew that it wasn't true as he is a former IT worker. Since he never uses the camera on his PC, he has duct taped over it. Also, the password included in the email he only uses on four websites, two for pizza delivery, one for his newspaper subscription, and the community rec center. He's now contacting each of the four sites to ask fi they have been hacked. I'm looking forward to an update on Friday.
  4. For her last 10 years of life or so, my grandmother had an in-house companion that did not provide medical care, other than making sure she got her medications at breakfast and dinner. (Grandma lived to the age of 99.) The companion's responsibilities were relatively straight-forward. Prepare meals for her and clean up afterward, bring in the morning paper and the daily mail, feed the dog, and let the dog in and out of the back door. After she broke a leg, she also needed some help getting between her wheelchair and bed. Perhaps the most important role the companion played was simply watching TV with her, helping with the crossword puzzle, or just chatting. She also had someone with her overnight so she had someone with her pretty much around the clock. All this was paid for without insurance. (Thus on weekends, I would take a shift as the companion. Grandma liked that because I would let her order pizza. and a sister would take a couple of week nights.) Somewhere along the line, we also had a visiting nurse that came in three times a week to provide bathing and take vitals. The visiting nurse was fully covered by Medicare (or other of her insurance.) We got companions from a couple of private agencies, one was owned by a member of our church and another a referral from her physician. Typically we were rotating a team of five or six ladies staying with her. Over time, additional companions came from referrals from friends, her visiting nurse looking for extra $$$, and a college student that wanted to do nights as studying at her house was more effective than trying to study at the library.
  5. When someone is visiting Columbus, I got to his hotel, as I live in the suburbs and it is probably just more convenient for him for me to come to him. However, when I'm traveling I tend to host in my hotel room. Since I'm usually hiring a local guy in these occasions, I assume that he can more easily find his way to me than I can to him.
  6. If you have your balls and/or crack sugared or waxed, do you need to wait before having some playtime or can you go straight from the spa to meet your escort?
  7. I love my two Skagens - unfortunately one of them I wore out the leather band and I haven't found a suitable replacement yet.
  8. Happy Birthday Cooper!
  9. Happy Birthday, and only the best for you!
  10. I think I read that Blake had moved back to Canada and a career in nursing.
  11. Adam is my first choice. Nice, quiet guy with good massage skills. https://rent.men/adamexplorer
  12. Do your kegel exercises regularly and then use them on him. I've found that when I do so, my partners do not last much longer.
  13. In most cases on this list, I believe that both individuals have some level of recognition either via entertainment, sports, or the arts.
  14. There are positions where this is more critical than others. One of my close peers at work manages our internal communications team. He usually has several highly-qualified applicants for a position on the team - many more than he could make time to interview. He uses the applicants' writing style in the resume as a screening for selecting the final interview candidates, including whether or not there are two spaces after the period.

  16. Just because the technology illiterate have decided one space is acceptable, it isn't correct. Next thing you know everyone will go to dinner with friends and text their entire conversation rather than actually talking. I have found that as my vision declines and obscure fonts are introduced, I really appreciate the two spaces.
  17. It is amazing what people feel they can say. I haven't figured out the right response yet, but when the conversation is over and other person turns to leave, he may have received a middle finger salute behind his back.
  18. I loved Eartha Kitt's Catwoman. I also enjoyed Lee Meriwether and Michelle Pfeiffer in that role.
  19. When did it become LGBT rather than GLBT?
  20. So was I and I agree that the set feels smaller in reality than on the air. Also, it was cheaply constructed. It is amazing what a good can of paint and some track lighting can do to plywood.
  21. Same thing for me. Hadn't heard of it before today.
  22. It has a been a few years since I've had an appointment with Tony when he was based in the Midwest. I highly recommend him. If you express your expectations, I suspect you will be pleased. If you see him, make sure you ask him to massage your scalp - - by far the most relaxing massage experience I have ever had.
  23. James Monroe John Glenn Benjamin Franklin
  24. Congrats and best wishes with the new venture.
  25. Happiest of days to you Lance!
