I'm sad to see this end. I've become somewhat obsessed with this, looking over wikis (https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Main_Page) to keep all the people and families straight (and lots of spoilers there, even for me who's read the Dunk/Egg stories).

I just noticed a little icon at the left of my Chrome address bar, looks like a monitor with a down arrow. Hovering over it says "Install Company of Men". Any idea what it is?

Holly Hunter is the same alien species that Carol Kane was in Strange New Worlds, which explains some of her 'quirkiness' - and maybe her hair.

I'm just about to re-read Project Hail Mary, with the movie coming out next month. I read it a few years ago and remember absolutely loving it. The Martian was great too, Andy Weir's second book Artemis wasn't all that great.

One of my favorite things! Sean Cody's "Amos & Calvin" massage video is a favorite.

aren't those the birds Ilya called "stupid Canadian wolf birds" in Heated Rivalry? 🙂

Often I'm restrained by travelers' schedules and when they're in town, but I've noticed I'll do Saturday late afternoon more frequently than other days.

First hire was 1987 or 1988, from an ad in the back of the local bar rag. I've had times where I've gone months without hiring, and times when I was hiring just about every week. Mostly great experiences!

I booked those two about 10 years ago or more. Twice, actually, the first time one wasn't feeling well so it was just one of them (https://rentmasseur.com/StrongHandsDad) and we played out a fun coach/shy jock scenario. We did something similar the next time with both guys. I recommend.

This looks a lot like Jonathan Bailey to me, but that's got to be just wishful thinking.

Normally I'd assume it's frozen for a reason and wait for it to unfreeze. Given that you've seen him twice before and have his number, I might text him to let him know you're interested in meeting up; I'd put *something* in the text like "Hope all is well" or "Hope you're doing okay".

I read at the bar. Started years ago with decompressing from the week at my usual watering hole on Friday right after work. I was always open to chatting with people if there were others there, but if not, it was more fulfilling than just drinking. I wasn't the only one with a book there. I mentioned it to a friend, another voracious reader, and she thought it was odd and pretentious. And when I had the last Harry Potter book there once, another woman at the bar asked me "I just have to know - does Harry die?" 😁

My old roommate had a favorite cake from her childhood that used raw eggs. I made it for her birthday and asked her about it - she said she'd been eating it for 30 years with no issues 🙂 it's honestly a great cake, I haven't made it in years and now I want to.

A guy in the gym was having obvious issues with the knot on his speedo drawstring. I remember it was knotted in the back, and very tightly, so he couldn't see to undo it. I offered to help, he seemed embarrassed but let me help. This was in full view of the locker room, right outside the shower area. I wasn't able to undo it either, and ended up cutting the cord with the penknife on my keychain. True story. And nothing else happened 😁 even though he was very hot.

I'd heard from dancers at Gold Coast (closed about six years now) in Detroit had that same policy. I wonder how common it is?

When I first got access to word processing, in the early 80's, I wrote a college term paper using it. My first draft was just basically rambling, typing out everything I meant to put in the paper. It was huge, unorganized, and repetitive. I printed it out, went wild with a red marker, and reorganized the whole thing. Re-print and re-edit as necessary. Three drafts in and it was a solid paper, then I gave it to some co-workers to review. It ended up being a really good paper.

I passed the first test for Jeopardy contestants, but failed badly in the second round of tests.

in my 20's, Cosmic Encounter was a favorite of my friends. I am semi-banned from playing Trivial Pursuit with friends because my mind is filled with trivial facts.

He did, but it was long ago, like 20 years ago or more. He had an ad in Detroit and I've regretted never meeting up with him since then.

I do that with emails and texts and so on. Years ago I read something: Don't write so you can be understood. Write so you can't be misunderstood. I really took that to heart.

I've also asked "Do you ever see guys outside the club?" I've got a decent record of taking dancers home. It's always been after getting a private dance from them. Rarely that night (since by the time their shift ends I'm definitely asleep), but we make arrangements for another night. Actually there was one time 'that night', a dancer was very interested and we fooled around in my car in a roadside parking lot after the club closed. That was a hookup, not a paid encounter, and kind of amazed me, he was way out of my league.

I think it's a common thing for many British series. Downton Abbey did them, I think All Creatures Great and Small does too.

This made me very sad when I read it yesterday. RIP, Moira Rose.
