This isn't me bent out of shape. I'd have to give a shit about you for that to happen.

What an ugly fucking comparison. Couth up man.

This thread is definitely going as expected. As I've said before, a lot of these replies say more about the poster than the subject.

No. The gay bar is dying. And from an investment standpoint, the cost to bond a liquor license, as well as insurance and build-out costs, the whole idea is a nice thought, but a compete money pit. Save your money. Go travel the world.

A jab IS a compliment from me I only abuse the ones I like

I feel like you could set these sentences to music as the long-lost third verse to The Golden Girls theme song.

This reply should be bronzed and stuck to the top of every forum.

People who aren't nomadic will never understand the concept of making friends everywhere you go. I have pals who tour with Broadway shows. Same thing. That 'gypsy' life requires you to not only find a family within your cast, but to also make connections all over the world. A traveling escort is basically in the same boat. I feel fortunate to really enjoy both: My tight-knit group in San Antonio and the people I've met everywhere else along the way.

It's more palatable to think of Cade like he's the premium ticketing option for a hot Broadway show. Hamilton... With less clothing. The Producers... Of a raging erection.

These threads always start and end the same way. Let's not bemoan- or shame- if you can't or don't want to afford a guy's rates. Just move forward. Tons of other quality options out there.

It's simple: CK did it because he could. Many older wealthy gay men play Pygmalion with younger, inexperienced guys... And it's always a crapshoot. The younger guy has to have enough sense to learn something, appreciate the experience and make decisions that will secure his future.

Agreed that a good mattress can be life-changing. I truly love mine. One size doesn't fit all, so make sure to get 30-90 day return terms and send it back if it's not the right fit.

Anyone know if there's a statute of limitations on this one? 2005 is quite long ago. I'm assuming at Weber being 74 years old, these guys are just going for a quick settlement and not anything criminal.

Why's that? It's not as if their 'church' is different from any other 'church' It's really all the same shtick. Same general system of belief: Different characters. As to the IRS, they fight hard for their cut and don't easily grant these tax exemptions without a lot of legal hand-wringing. Something must have been presented that made sure the Satanic Temple was in-line with every other major.

This. A lot of people talk about Dubai without ever having stepped foot there. They read something or a friend of a friend told a story and suddenly it's fear of public stonings and how archaic it all is. I've been to Dubai many times, as well as Abu Dhabi and I've never had fear in either place. I enjoyed myself immensely. The cultural is fascinating. Superb blends of old and new architecture. Incredible food. Extremely friendly people.

Depending on what you're charging to begin with, that's a risky move. It's can kill the goose that laid the golden egg. Reminds me of a client who took me on my first visit to an Aman property. *cue flashback fade and music* Picture it. Amangiri. 2009. I was stunned by the whole place. Just cinematically designed and almost ethereal. I continue to travel with this fella to interesting places because I didn't slam him on an extended rate. It's been fun.

Now I'm curious about the property. Ladera? Jade Mountain? Sugar Beach?

If sharing some of my life entertains you, I've done my job

Oh, the IRS messes with a lot of 'churches' who don't have official tax-exempt status. It's how the war between Scientology and the IRS started in 1992 (or so), with Scientology being one of the few entities ever who strong-armed the IRS into submission. The Satanic Temple was granted status in early 2019. If his home was considered an official 'church,' he may indeed claim all of this raised money tax-free.

That's not true. I fly with AA a lot and they've made it clear on every flight I've been on that they don't allow vented masks and/or just face shields. COVID cesspool because they are a company with shareholders and want to fill every seat? Numerous studies have been done saying that leaving a middle seat open does nothing to combat COVID, as it's still nowhere near a 6ft radius between pax. It's just something some airlines do to make people FEEL safer.
