I'd say it's for real. I tend to prefer mid-'30's rather tahn mid twenties, and 45 would probably be too old.

FBO designation? Please explain.

About every three sentences, or every change of thought is a good idea for paragraphs.

i'm heading off to Hawaii with a 'scort. Six days together. He just texted me to tell me he got me a room at the Airport hotel on the night we return. He's such a sweetie. We've already done a couple of 5 day trips, so we know we're compatible.

That was painful to read. That was painful to read, even in a word processor.

Tea and biscuits. Biscuit or cookie? “England and America are two countries divided by a common language.” So said George Bernard Shaw (allegedly). Much has been written about words that are chiefly used in one country or the other (for example, eggplant in the US and aubergine in the UK), but there are also words that exist in both countries but have different meanings depending on which side of the Atlantic you are on, and it’s very possible to find yourself lost in translation if you don’t know the lingo. For example, if someone in the US were to say they are wearing pants and suspenders to a party, you wouldn’t think anything of it, though you might question your friend’s fashion choices. If you were to make the same declaration in the UK, well, you might question what kind of party you’re going to, and decide to stay in for the night. Having grown up in the US and the UK, I am acutely aware of how American English and British English are different, and it’s especially interesting when the difference is so subtle. As we’ve recently added snacky to OxfordDictionaries.com, we thought this would be a good opportunity to look at the subtle differences between the biscuit and the cookie. Biscuit Let’s start with the biscuit. In the UK, your biscuit might be topped with chocolate or have currants in it. You might dip it in your cup of tea, or have one (or two or maybe three) as a snack after lunch. If you were in the US, however, you might put bacon and eggs on it or smother it in gravy and have it for breakfast. Or you might put a piece of chicken on it and have it for dinner. Oxforddictionaries.com notes this difference, giving two definitions for the word. But how did these two very different meanings come to be? According to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), the word biscuit comes originally from the Latin biscotum (panem), which means bread ‘twice baked’, which would explain the hard, crunchy quality of a British biscuit. An American biscuit is more like what the Brits would call a scone (and an American scone is something else entirely), and the pronunciation is another matter entirely. It’s unclear how these two different foods came to have the same word, and we can only speculate about the influence of the French language in the southern United States. Cookie The word cookie opens up a whole other can of worms. In the UK, a cookie is a soft, squishy, moist biscuit (for lack of a better word). British cookies tend to be bigger and more substantial than a British biscuit. In the US, a cookie covers both what the British would call a biscuit and a cookie. The word comes from the Dutch koekje, meaning ‘little cake,’ and could have been popularized in the US due to early Dutch colonization, though we don’t know for sure. So you’ve got it, right? A British biscuit is an American cookie and an American cookie is a British cookie and an American biscuit is a British scone and an American scone is something else entirely. Simple! Now, what would you like with your tea? https://blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2014/05/27/biscuit-vs-cookie/

My Fraternity brothers and I would go to Haymarket for a tree (we lived in Kenmore Square). We'd buy the tree, get on the T, and sing Charlie at least once, much to the chagrin (or enjoyment) of the train operator.

For completions sake: "… For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry" And "This above all: To thine own self be true, And it must follow as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man." I was in hospital for two months, and my Housemate lost my handicap placard. He denies any responsibility for it. THAT's why I'm reticent to loan him anything.

It's the "T", like Chicago's is the "L". Short for MBTA: Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority.

Assuming you don't mind cold, wet, snowy winters or heat waves that rival Florida. I think the best season is Fall, what with the foliage being wonderful (although with global warming, this may disappear), with Spring a close second.

REGARDING generics versus brand name drugs: At my medical school, we were only taught generic drug names. There were a lot of brand names I had to look up and learn to be able to communicate with pharmacies and patients. In Massachusetts, where it has been years since I wrote a prescription or physically had one, I do believe the Law of the Commonwealth is that generic drugs must be supplied unless "No Substitution" was written by the prescriber. Thus, Valium 5 mg would be filled with Diazepam 5 mg. It might actually BE Valium-brand of diazepam, but if aanother choice is available and cheaper, then the generic is given. We've come a long way since ... "generics" have become available. An interesing problem was with Dilantin brand of Phenytoin. Dilantin was always an extended-release drug, and since Pfizer was the only one making it, the usual dose was 300 mg once a day. When the generic came out, people were both being overdosed and had uncontrolled seizures, because the pharmakokinetics (the right word) weren't appreciated. It should have been given as 100 mg every eight hours. I do believe the FDA has considered this is approving generic drugs, but it's an interesting tale of how government good intentions can go wrong.

Hmmmmmm ... lemme think about that.

I discovered that my RMD (Required Minimum Distribution), which I have to start in 4 years, is MUCH greater than what I'm spending now. I hope to make some escorts very, VERY happy ... or else, my nephew will.

Think about it ... the base REALLY doesn't matter, unless it's < 1.0

I wound up in the hospital for two months on January 28, 2017. They never came down.

In 1980 I rented a two-bedroom apartment for $250/month, in the South End. Of course, the bedrooms (in the "garden" section of the apartment) were under construction, and the upstairs had unfinished floors. But it was income for my landlord which he wouldn't have had otherwise, and I needed a place to crash for two years during residency. It's now like $2500 a month. NO a/c but heat included.

I chug at a nominal 15Mbps, but only get about 5Mbps. we have two iphones, one ipad, two computers, and two televisions. Technical Support told me when to reboot the modem: Yeah, over time, it starts to get clogged with crap. I can tell because my kids play games, and when I stop hearing gunshots, I know it's time to reboot.

Is the vertical, dependent, "y" axis linear or logarithmic?

I have a very large book on a very tall desk, illuminated by candle light and whatever glow comes off the coal in the fireplace. Mr. Scrooge is very good to me, monitarily, but skimps on the red ink, of which, fortunately, there is little.

I suggest you ask him about it. He might just be "accepting", not really INTO IT. I'd say his text is more of a turnoff here. No self esteem issues!

Be still, my heart.
