Wrong. The average gestational period for Giardia (meaning the time between exposure and developing symptoms) is 7 days, though you might notice almost immediately or it can take weeks. Seriously, it's just a stool sample or two ordered by your doctor to detect if you have anything that needs to be treated. No big deal.

If you have a parasite, it should be eliminated through appropriate treatment. They don't just go away on their own.

It looks like you are misreading the chart you linked. When I clicked it, I saw two tables. In the top, the month of July is selected. The bottom table shows data for the month selected. That data does not tell you the total number of days Palm Springs reached 120 or more. It shows you the record high for each date in question, and if you count the record highs in July you get your 16 days of 120 degrees. That does not mean, however, that those days where the record high was at least 120 degrees didn't also reach 120 degrees or more during a different year on the same month and day and, of course, that data is only showing July. If you click June, you will see six days where the record high was at least 120. August has 9 such days. I would give you the count for September but the website seems to have a glitch preventing that data from loading, though it's clear from the top chart that there were some days in September where the temperature reached at least 120 degrees. So now were up to at least 31 days of the year where the temperature in Palm Springs has reached at least 120 degrees and, to repeat, that doesn't mean that those same days of the year haven't been that hot during multiple years. While it's true that the average high is not close to 120 degrees, if you look at a different site such as weatherunderground where you can see the recorded high for each day going back at least a year, you will see that it's pretty common in Palm Springs to have stretches in the summer where the high temperature is 120 degrees, plus or minus a few degrees. It isn't like it's a rare occurrence that it gets that hot there. Yes, maybe I was unlucky during my one summer trip there but I know what I experienced first hand: Every day I was there had a high temperature close to 120 degrees, and some days exceeded that temperature. Before that trip, I think the hottest temperature I had ever experienced was between 105 and 110 degrees so I didn't think that the heat in Palm Springs would bother me so much, but that extra 10 to 15 degrees made a huge difference. I basically hated being outside, and even the nighttime lows weren't low enough to provide any respite. It was just freaking HOT 24/7. It's 3:30 am as I post this and I see the current temperature in Palm Springs is 92 degrees. When the nighttime lows are still over 90 degrees you know it's hot.

I see Ollie is also visiting Los Angeles and Palm Springs. https://rentmen.eu/ItsOllie

I just happened to watch on Amazon Prime a short documentary on male strippers, and it ended up being solely about guys at Swinging Richards. Curious about what had been posted here about the club, I decided to search for previous threads. I'm glad I saw your comment because I was aghast at what one dancer said when running through the list of charges for a private dance. He gave prices for various intervals up to an hour, and while I don't remember all of the prices the hourly rate was close to $500 -- with a portion going to the bar and the rest to the stripper. And he stressed that it was all about "fantasy" and that the dancers there have strict limits about their physical interactions. Now I don't know if what he was saying was true for all dancers, but he gave me the impression that the place was really all about look but don't touch. For $500, who would want that? The only time I've paid for a private show was with a guy at Anthropology in Puerto Vallarta with whom I became immediately smitten. I really only paid for the 10 minute private show so I could interact with him enough to see if I wanted to ask him for some time away from the club. I negotiated a very reasonable rate for him to visit my hotel. I don't remember what Anthropology's cost was for a private dance, but it certainly wasn't over-the-top ridiculous like Swinging Richards. And at Anthropology the guys are basically begging you to touch them as soon as they approach you because they are working hard (pun intended) for tips. Did the documentary on Swinging Richards (I think it's called All Male, All Nude) give a false impression about the limits of customers' interactions with dancers while at the club? The only hint at any kind of interaction beyond a casual touch while putting a tip in an armband was from a straight-identified dancer who was clearly not happy about being a stripper who said that when he looks back on this part of his life he will be amazed at the sorts of things he was willing to do at the club for money.

I only visited once during the height of summer. I found the weather truly horrible. Most days were around 120 degrees and it was still ridiculously hot outside well after dark. If I recall correctly, it was still over 100 degrees around 10 at night. If I decided to move there as a retiree I'd be desperately trying to figure out ways to get away for as much of the summer as possible. I like the weather there during the spring and fall, though -- very warm during the day but cools off at night. Beyond the weather, I like Palm Springs. Some nice restaurants, some nice places to hike in the area, and just generally a feeling of a pleasant small city. Then again, I've been suffering through the decline of San Francisco for the past three decades and, at this point, I think I'd rather live almost anywhere else that has a sizable gay population than here. San Francisco has truly become a dump.

To each his own. I found her performance one of the weakest on the show.

To be fair, a lot of those search results are for threads that simply discuss Sean Cody or Corbin Fisher models, not whether they escort. In response to the OP's question, Ollie of Sean Cody currently has a RM ad. I only know this because he posted travel plans to come to San Francisco soon.

The show was discussed here when it was first on. The ratings were probably poor because the show was generally not that good. I watched it anyway, but a lot of the writing and some of the acting was painfully awkward.

Exactly. This bullshit has been going on for decades -- even before people were using the internet for hookups. I had a friend about 30 years ago who got strung along by someone through the mail. (Remember the days of personal ads in newspapers where you would reply to a PO Box set up by the newspaper?) They corresponded, the guy wanted to share underwear and explicit photos through the mail, and so on. He sent to my friend a photo of an extremely hot looking man, claimed to live in the Castro district of San Francisco yet was not out to anyone and had never had sex with anyone yet, which was his alleged rationale for wanting to take things slowly before meeting. None of the rest of our circle of friends believed this guy's story since it just seemed so far fetched, but my friend went along with it for weeks. My friend finally learned that the guy was actually someone three decades older who wasn't particularly attractive who just liked playing games with people. That's probably the most extreme situation I recall hearing about, but I know that I had to learn early on to detect time wasters before I wasted too much time.

The top person -- I don't know exactly but it was nearly every month for several years, so I'm guessing somewhere in the ballpark of 100. Second place is probably around 10.

Or maybe no one has come up with effective interventions? I know I don't have an answer for this.

Don't get me wrong. I think the study of sexuality is important. But bringing forth a hypothesis that's biased without any evidence to support it and then to suggest that it's appropriate science just doesn't make sense. It's about as logical as suggesting that scientists should research the environmental factors that make Mexicans lazy, Blacks stupid, and women less capable than men. Starting from a place of suggesting that there's something wrong with being gay (i.e., it's unnatural and caused by something bad) versus having an open ended inquiry (what can we learn about why some people prefer to have sex with members of the same gender) isn't science in my book, particularly when there is no evidence to support the bigoted claims. If being gay was caused by "chemicals" and "toxins" then why don't we see homosexuality centered in areas that have higher amount of these environmental issues, and little or no gay behavior in more environmentally clean areas?

Then why were there gay people before the modern era of "chemical pollutants?"

I feel compelled to post this video of a song written by the talented Brenda Russell, though I prefer Donna Summer's version so that's what I am sharing here.

If you are staying in the Romantic Zone, then you will be in the center of gay PV. You will have lots of guys approach you offering their massage service, and you will also see several spas where massages are given. I think it's difficult to give a specific recommendation because, in my experience, a guy I see on one trip is nowhere to be found the next time I visit. You can also go to one or more of the strip clubs to see and interact with the men there, most of whom will be quite forward with trying to arrange a private session with them; the two I've been to are Anthropology and Wet. There's a bathhouse/sauna there now, too, though I've never been; it's called Spartacus.

Is his ad already gone, or did he just change his name. The link just landed me in the Vegas listings and I scrolled through all 8 pages and didn't see anyone named "Ultimate_male." (Maybe he got some sense and realized how off putting to some clients a name like that might be.)

Handsome at every age.

I honestly haven't seen many films he was in, but I did love him starring opposite Divine in Polyester and quite liked the documentary film about him.
