You seem to have come to the same conclusion that several other members have stated, if he won’t change his current approach after discussing with him, accept what he’s providing as service or move onto someone who will provide you the service you seek.

Well the finale aired this past Sunday. Sort of played out as I expected - the children got what they all deserved. Tom's twist was interesting and Greg's ability to keep going was interesting. They could have edited the episode and made it into the normal 60 minute length.

Had seriously considered buying a second home to retire to in NM but life circumstances changed. Corrales was my main focus since you could be close to ABQ for nightlife/restaurants, but was a quiet area and you had some distance from your neighbors. Santa Fe was only about an hour up the interstate and it was fairly easy to go N/S/E/W given ABQ being at the junction of the two major interstate highways. Crime yes has been an issue for the city. There used to be (may still be there) a gay retirement property outside of Santa Fe. Toured it many years ago but it wasn't for me given the close proximity to other houses and it truly was out in the woods. I do still enjoy taking vacation time in New Mexico.

The person with the Red feather helmet/hat sitting in front of Harry is actually Princess Anne.

Given he only had the Masseurfinder ad at that time - it wasn't an option.

https://rentmasseur.com/NJHANDS Brian has a rentmasseur ad as well. Had a couple of sessions with him pre-Covid, at that time he didn’t advertise on rentmasseur. The sessions were all therapeutic and draped. Nice guy, skilled but pricey for the service provided.

Had a session with Oliver last week. Nice guy, strong hands and it was a deep massage. Started with stretching thru the towel, progressed to the deep tissue massage. All therapeutic, nothing sensual. Nice facility.

Have experienced the massage with one hand and checking the phone with the other but not recently. Actually taking a call during a session was the one that was the worst. A guy who I had several sessions with before (Battery Park City NYC) back in the mid 2000's. He was talented and was trained gave a good massage and stretching session and typically provided a nice ending. On the last visit - the session started as normal, about 10 to 15 minutes into the session his phone started ringing he ignored it and it would ring again (repeat), he apologized and took the call. Conversation ensued and then some strong language back and forth on the phone and said he had to go give something to a friend in the lobby (from what I overhead sounded sketchy) about 10 minutes wasted here taking the call and his redressing. He left and about what seemed 20 minutes or so he returns. During the interim I was ready to just get dressed and leave. He came back and then continued with the session. Session finished and paid, even left a tip (albeit half of what I'd normally leave). Departed and in the cab ride back to my apt my phone starts ringing and he's calling me to say I didn't tip him enough, and that I need to come back and give him more money. Things went back and forth about the payment and I told him he wasn't going to get any more money and I just ended the call. He started calling again, went to voice mail etc, then the text messages continued his tirade, so to end this circus I just blocked him. I think he left the massage business not too long thereafter.

Just watched/rented "In From the Side" on Prime Video, a British gay rugby team film. "Following a drunken encounter, two equally attached men from a cash strapped and divided gay rugby club unwittingly sleepwalk into an adulterous affair but must conceal their growing feelings or risk destroying the club they love." I'd recommend seeing it. Believable mix of characters/personalities https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7947604/

Massage by Jeff - massage/bodywork in Washington, DC - masseurfinder WWW.MASSEURFINDER.COM I've used Jeff several times when I travelled to DC for work. Nice friendly guy - great space and if memory is correct you can shower there too. Good skills and left relaxed and happy.

Have not used it but this is another London based site for masseurs - https://www.massagemeinlondon.co.uk/!/men

Have this book and its a slow read for me which is unusual. I'll finish it; doubtful if the sequel will hold any interest but maybe the twist that @keroscenefire has eluded to may change my mind. Glad others have enjoyed it.

Back in 2020 I did some cleaning out of things when we were restricted from traveling. Searched on the web and found several places which would take Gay fiction etc. None were close to me to do a drop-off but found one that was seeking books at the time - https://lgbtsewi.org/about/ I think I shipped out about 5-6 boxes to them. There are other organizations I found including -- LGBT Books for Prisoners, Hope in A Box, Univ of Wisconsin Milwaukee LGBTQ+ Resource center, and there are many more out there locally and nationally, simple google search. Just talk with them as to what they accept and you will at least know someone who would enjoy the book will get to read them.

If you are still in Cairo - an interesting show I attended (way back when Mubarak was in power) was the whirling dervishes. Our driver (who we had hired from the Conrad hotel and was probably an ex-military intelligence guy) - recommended it when another place we wanted to go to was closed. This is a link to an example https://www.egypttoursportal.com/en-us/egypt-day-tours/cairo-day-tours/wekalet-el-ghouri-tanoura/#itinerary On that same day we stopped at a very old mosque near the City of the Dead (big cemetery) and toured it - exquisitely carved woodwork . Upon leaving the keeper beckoned us to climb up into the minaret to gain a view of Cairo (unfortunately I do not remember which mosque it was). Our driver arranged a sunset boat cruise for us to go to the middle of the river - anchor, watch the sunset and have a meal. At the time it was very cheap to rent a boat that could easily fit 50+ people, it was just 2 of us, the driver along with the captain and a crewman. We had drinks watched the sunset and then a feast was delivered to our boat by launch. The food was one of the best we had on that trip and had no clue to where it was made. The variety of dishes, mezzo etc was amazing (the captain and boatman we very happy for the leftovers) Ironically at the restaurant (well acclaimed) we had planned to go to, several work 'colleagues' went to it and they had a nasty bout of food poisoning. Overall - hiring that driver direct from the hotel, we avoided the touristy shops etc and did what we wanted to do. Enjoyed Luxor, but going to Aswan and then hiring a driver and guard we drove to Abu Simbel to see the temples. We avoided the tour since it got up god awful early and we wanted to be on our time not the tour bus's schedule. Alexandria was also good for something different - great seafood but the drive is long for a day trip.

Well let's see - Justin is gay broke up with his partner, there is a non-binary child of the step sister, there is a local (to the lake) who is gay as well. Plus an assortment of other characters.

More Schitts Creek style.

Searched but was surprised no one mentioned this series on Prime Video - "The Lake" - with Jordon Gavaris as Justin, Julie Stiles as his step sister Maisy-May, and assorted other cast members. "The Lake is a Canadian comedy television series created by Julian Doucet for Amazon Prime Video. The series is Amazon's first scripted Canadian Amazon Original series, and premiered on June 17, 2022." Setting is a Cottage Lake in Canada. Writing is very good, witty at times. "After returning from abroad following a break-up with his long-term partner, Justin plans to connect with his teenage daughter he gave up for adoption. His plans to make new memories with his daughter at the family cottage go awry when he discovers his parents left it to his picture-perfect step-sister, Maisy-May." Second season has already been filmed but hasn't been released on Prime yet.

@BuffaloKyle yes you have to have a paid membership to rent masseur to see the private photos. Once you do, you just click that area and they should open up.

Thanks @samhexum for the heads up on Peacock. Happy I didn't have to pay to see this in the theater. Watched this over the weekend, (fast forwarded through some sections) definitely a sad tear jerker ending. I would have preferred a different actor than Jim Parson's for Sebastian's role.

Heading to New Orleans in about a week. Seems pickings are slim in NOLA. Has anyone experienced Eugene https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/42677/ Ryan https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/39078/ or Jeff https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/36350/. thanks.

I enjoyed the movie quite a lot. Though was wondering what happened to Nicholas Hoult’s character after his kitchen scene, I don’t remember seeing him in the dining room afterwards.

Just started this series and with three episodes in this show is done quite well. Few for episodes till I get to themWhite episode.

That may well be in terms of the norm, but cancer ran in his family and he wasn't going to have any children so they removed both.

Many years ago I met up with a guy who had had testicular cancer, they removed both testicles and replaced them with implants. Looking at him you'd never know they were fake and they felt real as well. He had no issues performing. If he hadn't told me I don't think I would have noticed.
