The Great British Baking Show on PBS. I love hunky Paul Hollywood (oh, those beautiful blue eyes!) and the saucy (pun intended) Mary Berry (no pun intended). Their holiday bake-off was yummy.

As one who provided therapy for 30 years in a variety of setting, I think it is important to emphasize that therapy is not navel-gazing, it's not magic, it's not so much about the past as the present. Therapy is about CHANGE. Perhaps it's about changing your habits, perhaps it's about changing your way of thinking about yourself or your life, perhaps it's about changing the way you react to people or situations. After YOU (with your therapist's help) decide WHAT SPECIFICALLY you want to change, you and he/she can determine a course of action to make these changes. Change (and therapy) mostly happens BETWEEN sessions, not in session when you try out new ways of thinking and/or acting. That is why a good therapist almost always gives "homework." You also need specific goals in order to determine whether you are actually making progress (SMART GOALS = specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time-oriented). Insurance companies today won't pay your therapy if you don't have specific goals - no more sitting around talking about "problem-of-the-day) - and they usually won't pay for your sessions after a few months (which should be plenty of time in most situations). If you haven't made any progress towards your SMART GOALS after six months or so (weekly sessions normally), I would look for another therapist. Therapy works, if you work at it! Having said that, I've always also said that a really good, honest, friend is worth about five therapists.

Trump probably doesn't know enough about Net Neutrality to even care - as long as they don't interfere with his four to eight hours of watching television each day (per NY Times).

One of the benefits of having a dentist in the family (e.g. one that provides mostly free services) is that you get only the most BASIC of dental services, no frills.

Calling this con job "Tax Cuts" is the ultimate Orwellian Mind Game. The Republican playbook says that, when the people don't fall for an obvious lie, re-package it into an even bigger lie, and repeat until the uneducated and "low info" voters finally start to repeat it themselves. Of course the patsies also need a daily dose of Fox De-Information to reinforce the lie. Presiding at every one of these economic travesties is "good Catholic boy" and Ayn Rand devotee, Paul Ryan, smiling at the camera, holding an important-looking binder, ready to lead the lemmings off a cliff - what a great American. And Trump, Manafort, Flynn, Trump Jr, Kushner, et al. should be in jail, not running this country into ruin.

Prince Charles - he can hardly wait until his mother dies so he can become Queen.

Yes.

I think they are probably phasing in a new "telephone numbers only" policy and eliminating a description of "services" that individuals offer - again, Rentboy repercussions continue to affect the escort industry. Just a guess.

Suprirse, surprise, surprise! Citizen's Arrest! Citizen's Arrest!

Pirro is a loud-mouthed, repulsive hate-mongering liar whose vitriol and malice spews from her big mouth every time she opens it. Her voice makes Fran Drescher sound like an opera singer. She is disgusting, even by Fox News standards.

Peter Berlin in That Boy. A classic.

I liked Matt on the Today show but I was always struck by how incredibly tight his pants were - sometimes displaying a VPL. On the right person, there's nothing wrong with that - but, in my opinion, he was not the right person.

Just a word of caution regarding Chaturbate: I bought tokens a couple of times and enjoyed tipping my favorite "models." However, I noticed that on my credit card four months later that I had been billed $25 a month from Chaturbate (I know, you should check your credit card bill every month for unauthorized payments - unfortunately, I wasn't doing that). I called Chaturbate to find out what the $25 was for. A woman (with a foreign accent) stated that I had signed up for this monthly "privilege" that allowed me to talk to the models privately and to use the word "f**k" in my conversations. Someone in one of these forums told me later that, when you are buying tokens they slip this option in 2 or 3 times - and it is very easy to authorize this payment, if you aren't careful. So, be very careful when purchasing tokens on these sites.

I took one of those DNA ethnicity tests recently and it stated that I was half Scotch and half bourbon.

Signed First Editions. An expensive hobby that misappropriates money that should be spent on Escorts.

Just don't take him to the theatre.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Police say a woman was trying to do a kind deed for a homeless man -- but he repaid her by stealing her purse. According to an arrest report, the incident took place just after 12 p.m. on Tuesday at the McDonald's at 4306 Bardstown Road, near S. Watterson Trail. Police say 28-year-old Shawn Mattingly, a homeless man, asked a woman to buy him some food at the McDonald's. The woman, along with one of her elderly family members, went inside with Mattingly and bought him lunch. After Mattingly ate, police say the woman got up from the table and left her purse with her elderly family member. That's when police say Mattingly struck. "While the victim was up from the table, Mr. Mattingly took the purse and fled the location on foot," the arrest report states.

I used to work with guys who were suffering from addiction. Recent true story. I was pulling in to the drive-in window of a fast food place when a former client came rushing up to my car window: Him: Could you please give me a couple of dollars? Me: Tim (not his real name), what do you need the money for? Him: I'm hungry. I haven't eaten in a while. (I pull out my wallet and Tim sees that I have quite a few dollars) Him: Could I have five dollars? Me: I tell you what, Tim. I will pull my car over and park and we will both go in and I will buy you whatever food you want. No limit. Or, I will just give you a dollar. Him: I'll take the dollar. I gave him a dollar.

The top four conventional dishwashers per Consumer Reports are from KitchenAid. They rate the most reliable brand as Bosch (Samsung came in least reliable). Personally, I have a GE model which was in the home when I moved in 15 years ago - it works perfectly.

Ah-men.

I agree that your eyes are the key to picking up strangers. The scenario, from my experience, usually goes like this: your eyes to other guy's eyes; your eyes to other guy's crotch; your eyes to other guy's eyes. Maybe a smile. If he's in the game he will usually make a quick and somewhat ambiguous touch to his package. If he gives no sign or looks away, move on. Has worked for me since LBJ was president though, since George Bush Original, the "ambiguous touches" are getting less frequent.

When I lived in L.A. I was amused when people would stick IN-n-OUT BURGER bumper stickers on their cars but would block out the "B" and second "R" to make it read "IN-n-OUT URGE"

Does getting a hideous-looking tattoo on an otherwise nice-looking body give off an idiot vibe? Yes.
