From the "Urban Dictionary": Binary Thinking Phrase. Denotes a system of thought that predominantly considers things in an "either, or", "right, wrong", "black, white" way, ignoring any subtleties or consideration of third or more alternatives. In philosophy, this is know as a "bifurcation fallacy". People who habitually think in this way are usually fairly unintelligent and unimaginative. G.W. Bush: "You're either with us, or your with the terrorists". Me: "Wow, Bush can only seem to understand the world through binary thinking..."

et le mots juste, j'espere

I've only watched about three of Season Two episodes, but I still find this case extremely compelling. It's obvious that defense attorney Kathleen Zellner is the main protagonist and that (former Prosecutor) Ken Kratz and the other prosecutors in the Manitowoc County office are the incompetent villains in this ongoing saga. The Avery family continue to be portrayed as hardworking junk car dealers, and a bit slow, perhaps leading one to think of them as simpletons who would be easy to set up. Excellent production quality even though I fear that the victim (Teresa Halbach) and her family are the ones who have the most to lose in such a slick commercial presentation.

I remember what David Letterman said about lotteries: What's the difference between having a lottery ticket and not having one? Answer: None.

Here's my standard procedure, maybe it seems a bit gauche, but it does help set my expectations and also assures the escort that I respect his time as well: As soon as the escort takes off his jacket, sits down, and gets half-way comfortable, I say: "Thanks for coming. Let's see, it's now 2:00 o'clock so we have until 4:00 o'clock to take our time and not feel rushed." That way, I can periodically and surreptitiously (especially after an hour or so) check the time in order to pace myself, and to make sure that we are not going to end early or late. I did this last week with an escort in Nashville and he did not seem upset by my mention of the time parameters. I also NEVER put the "donation" out in the open as it gives too much control over the denouement to the escort rather than to myself. It may also, unconsciously, give the escort the impression that that's all he's getting, leaving no expectation for a tip for exceptional service.

He had a previous name on Rentmen as "HardzzReady" in San Francisco, but I couldn't find any comments or reviews for him either.

That might explain why, in one of the photos, he appears to be displaying a book by Kevin O'Leary regarding money advice. Now I'm skeptical. Thanks.

Anybody have any experience with this guy, or does he ring any alarms, or has he appeared under a different moniker in any other rental iteration? He responded very quickly to my email with reasonable rates. He is currently on both A4A and Grindr locally. Thanks in advance. https://rentmen.eu/DrillaXLDavid

I had a professor in college who said that "sex is more than just the proximation of genitals." He was correct - truly good sex is also the proximation of feelings, trust, and desire to please the other. I've had great sex with both gays and straights, and bad sex with both straights and gays. Having said that, I agree with the old saying that "When sex is good, it's really good; when it's bad..... it's still pretty damn good."

I used the Geek Squad about five years ago when my motherboard went dead. They fixed it with no questions asked - they are Geeks, after all. It took a couple of days and they called and said "Your laptop is ready." I think as long as you don't have kiddie porn popping up, they couldn't care less what you were watching. They were pretty reasonable, cost-wise.

You haven't seen a tight singlet until you see the guy in the green singlet. Hot match, too. "You gotta work that bottom." Truer words never spoken.

No, but his boyfriend was.

Are you an escort? If so, should you not post in "Escort Travels?" If so, do you have an ad somewhere? If not, perhaps your post should be in "Traveling Members?"

The Boards and Associations that I am familiar with will not process a complaint against a practitioner unless the complainant signs a Waiver of Confidentiality and for a Release of Records. Otherwise, the practitioner would likely be unable to defend himself/herself. This would especially be true in a lawsuit where there is a question of whether the practitioner was guilty of malpractice in regards to quality or standard of care. There was a situation in which a third party filed a complaint against a therapist whom I supervised - the grandmother of the client complained that the therapist was rude to her over the phone and that the therapist would not take her advice regarding the client. In that case, the Board sent the complaint to the therapist who responded about the "rudeness" part. The therapist cited confidentiality for the "not following the granny's advice." The Board later sent a letter to granny stating that it found no merit in her complaint.

I am licensed by two state Boards to provide therapy; each month I read the minutes of both Boards' meetings. Board minutes provide the name and violation of any provider who has been found guilty of violating state ethics codes - and the punishment. The quickest way to losing you license is by putting yourself in a "dual relationship" with a client. Some dual relationships are considered "boundary crossings" - often unintentional and usually harmless (hiring someone off Craiglists to paint your home and you discover it's a client). What gets you into trouble are "boundary violations" such as flirting or dating a client. And, if you have sex with a client, you might as well put your application in at UPS. And you can't just terminate therapy so you can date the client - most state Boards and professional associations (e.g. NASW) will bar you from engaging in "dual relationships for a certain time period (e.g. five years) and some codes prohibit a relationship ever. As far as "plausible deniability" you'd be surprised at how many clients keep notes, emails, and logs of telephone calls about their therapists, and will almost ALWAYS report you to the state Board when the flirting/dating/relationship goes south. Fury hath no equal than a therapy client scorned.

We may have been better off if some lines of Neanderthals had gone completely extinct:

I have monitored the escort/masseur scene in St. Louis for years since it is only a few hours driving time from where I live. I have NEVER been tempted to visit St. Louis to satisfy any carnal desire. It is a wasteland, true "fly over" territory. If I only had a year to live, I'd move to either Cincinnati or St. Louis as it would make the time go by soooo much more slowly and death wouldn't seem so bad.

In Cold Blood, one of my all-time faves, along with Catcher in the Rye, A Separate Peace (for no other reason than, in high school, I had a huge crush on a school jock and readily empathized with Gene's feelings about Finny), Pride and Prejudice, Moby Dick (like Captain Ahab, I have a monomaniacal focus on Dick), and ANYTHING by John Irving (esp Cider House Rules - the last book that literally brought me to tears). Whenever I get lazy about checking the doors/windows at night, I remind myself of the fate of Herb Clutter and family of Holcomb, Kansas.

I read biography usually. And mostly what can be found at Costco. Recent books: 1) Leonard Da Vinci by Walter Isaacson. I have no doubt that Leonardo would belong to this Forum were he alive today - he certainly had an eye for male beauty (his sometime "model" and assistant, Salai ("the little devil") would have made big bucks on Rentmen). BTW, Salai was the model for Leonardo's painting "John the Baptist." 2) Grant by Ron Chernow. I have nothing but the highest respect for this totally honest, humble, and patriotic gentleman. He reflects what was totally good about rural America in the 19th Century especially his treatment of African Americans and Native Americans. What a contrast to the immoral, corrupt blob currently residing at 1600 Penn Ave. 3) Eisenhower in War and Peace by Jean Edward Smith. Ike had the good fortune of enjoying the sponsorship of older military men throughout his career. But, he had excellent administrative abilities and his assessment by historians seems to grow every year so that he ranked #7 as far as "best presidents" in a 2015 poll - he was a darn good president. Currently reading about a local celebrity - Ali: A Life by Jonathan Eig. For someone whose IQ was tested at 83, was originally rejected by the Army for flunking their intelligence exam, and was barely able to read or do basic math (after one of his fights his manager told him he would earn "half of $35,000" - Ali asked how much that would be - for all of this he was bright, funny, charming, and a damn good boxer. If you ever get to Louisville, drive by Spalding University and you will see a kid's bicycle hanging at the top of the building indicating where Ali's bike was stolen which led him to take up boxing so he could "whoop" the guy who stole his bike. I also read on a Kindle at night in bed (I like that I can make the font huge so I don't have to wear my spectacles). Currently I am reading The Last Days of Marilyn Monroe, which was on sale for $1.99 . Her death was very suspicious - for someone who supposedly swallowed a couple of bottles of barbiturates there was no sign of it in her digestive track at her autopsy leading many to speculate that she had been injected with an overdose. Some think the Kennedy brothers or the Mafia were involved. Interesting reading.

Being bisexual also doubles your chances of getting a date on Saturday night.

The well-dressed Sugar Daddy

Good to know. Did you actually meet him?

Ramblers? Seriously? How lame is that! Go Lions!

Charles Von der Ahe was the founder of Von's supermarkets and was a major donor to Loyola Marymount University (Go Lions!). Their library is named after him. Like the supermarket, this Nashville "Von" appears to specialize in excellent meat products. I hope to find out before week's end. I do see, however, in the "Urban Dictionary" that an Oral Top is someone who only enjoys receiving a BJ but not giving it "Jesse is a total oral top, he never reciprocates".

Not working for me on any level. Maybe as my Realtor.
