Yup, twice a year since summer 2000.

@Damien Black , I love your avatar picture - do you have a link to an ad?

I will rarely negotiate. If a guy offers to drop his price, I'm going to wonder if it means a corresponding drop in service.

You're not alone. I ran into this glitch yesterday. It wouldn't let me click both boxes, as soon as I clicked one the screen refreshed. The glitch cleared up after a few hours.

I'm more inclined to use freecycle unless the thing I'm disposing of is obviously worth a lot. My father sold my mother's oxygen concentrator on Craigslist after she died. It went to a woman far away, somewhere in Oregon maybe, she said with that she could work her waitressing job again. They worked out a payment schedule, he received the first few payments but then nothing more. He was philosophical about it, thinking he'd done a good deed and didn't mind not getting the rest; months later, the payments started up again and I'm pretty sure he got the full amount they agreed on.

Friends of mine shared an office at the university they worked and often came across like an old married couple bickering with each other. The woman objected to the guy letting her go through the door first; he claimed it wasn't a gender thing, it was a height thing, and he always let the shorter person go first. Since he was about 6'4", that included just about everybody.

yeah, it just doesn't bother some people. My sisters say my Dad prefers the mess, I'm more inclined to believe he'd prefer order over chaos if it didn't take any effort, but doesn't prefer it ENOUGH that it's worth the work.

The last guy is just visiting, correct. No experience with him. https://rentmasseur.com/MuscledMasseur - saw him many years ago, just once - decent time but I haven't repeated. https://rentmasseur.com/MuscDadMasseur - I've seen him many times, he's a bit formidable looking but he gives a good erotic massage.

Can't wait for Thanksgiving dinner with that family.

Odd phrasing and/or typos in their ad: "We are both tips and both can fill your desires. " :-) "One of us will reach 8” inches inside of you and the other one will reach 9” inches inside of you" - my mind immediately asked "With what?"

it's been discussed in several threads. I'm appalled by it, but yeah, I can believe it.

Hmmm. I always save the olive (or the onion) for the very end, after it's been infused from the alcohol. Have I been doing it wrong? I'll have to try that the next time I have a martini...or a Gibson.

I love gin, but I often smile when I think of the line in Heinlein's novella "The Door Into Summer", when the protagonist runs into his now-old ex: "She was already pouring it-straight gin, the lonely girl's friend."

Agreed. I saw one ad there from a couple of guys that I saw five or six years ago, I know for certain they long ago split up, moved, and left the business.

Some of the old classics from "ABC Movie of the Week". Duel (early Spielberg) and The Night Stalker. "Trilogy of Terror", three independent stories all starring Karen Black. The last bit with the African totem doll chasing her through her apartment has given MANY people nightmares. I watched it with my roommate and his girlfriend, she left the room she was so scared; found out later she'd gone to the bathroom to throw up she was so frightened. Not sure if Made for HBO counts, but I heard the tail end of a scathing review of HBO's Fahrenheit 451 last night. The reviewer concluded saying something like "Bradbury [the author of the novel Fahrenheit 451] was making a point that people should read. People should read the book rather that watch this disappointing movie".

Don't know. The concierge/phone-ahead service is new enough that protocols haven't really been established. Putting in an order just 20 minutes ago, imho, wouldn't qualify you to jump to the head of the line. I can think of many times I've waited that long at the counter. Michigan's drivers license offices (called Secretary of State in Michigan, not DMV) have set up concierge service and appointments, and they are definitely working out the kinks. I tried making an appointment just to take my father to change his address, and the first available appt was a week away. We tried "get in line online" and they gave me a time a few hours from the time I made it (which is fine), but then kept texting updates about the time changing wildly. I headed out when it said my wait was an hour (time enough to pick up my Dad and get to the office) and the time changed several times on the drive, both earlier and later. We did get through the process pretty quickly once we got there, seeing my 86-year-old father there may have made them bump us up quickly once they saw him. On a not-too-far tangent, if I found a deli counter where the people behind it actually hustled, it would have my loyal business forever.

Give it a while. Like 10 years. It'll be funny eventually.

I can deal with perfectionism, my dad is like that in many ways. The "could not refrain from commenting on it" part would drive me nuts, though.

That's Steven Strait, currently on the just-cancelled "The Expanse". I went through a phase of collecting his pictures :-) That's from when he was a good 10 years younger than he is now. Curious, I haven't watched "The Expanse", is his chest shaved in that?

Family can be so difficult sometimes :-(

Our high school gym class was a free-for-all. Very little organized activity, just let us loose in the gym to play basketball or whatever we wanted. There was a whole year where a bunch of us would play chess in the corner.

There will be some of us who will think the parents were Trekkies. http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/USS_Kelvin

in our city they'll pick those up every week. It goes into a city yard where it's made into mulch, and there are a half-dozen spots around the city (parking lots for parks, mostly) where they'll drop it off the mulch and residents can come help themselves. It goes quickly, they re-drop it off every couple of weeks.
