IT'S SHARK WEEK ! STARTS TOMORROW (JULY 5)

Thanks AdamSmith: A good LOL!

I know. But what can I do?

I am so sorry … it is only a duo - due caffe - uno per lui e uno per me!

WG, are you calling me a slut? RAAV! and, as you know, I ain't shy! Ho due caffe ristretto con latte ordinato per domani mattina! OH, what fun!

I could really get into this one … in fact, I think tomorrow I will!

Isn't that the Pascal Ham?

I wanted to do that for him!

Tho they do make good drops for spies!

Anybody who spends some time with TB is a lucky guy. Those who haven't and are trying - try, try, try and you will be in for a great treat.

I second everything said - no wrestling required. The first time I was with him I had specified I wasn't into the wrestling thing and I walked into his room and received a good long kiss and before I knew it we were on the bed rolling around a bit, jockeying for the best position for both of us to continue that kiss with maximum contact. BFE extraordinaire.

You bend him over and attach his wrist cuffs to his ankle cuffs and then…...

Well done, Daddy

I would love to see the second installment - the one where his wrists get hooked to his thighs and….

I think all you guys missed the point - Funguy has to be there, too. Yes, the eyes are amazing, don't care about the tats, but the nips could get me in trouble, especially if one hand did some wandering.

that too! LOL How ya be, WG2? Hope you and your bud are warm and safe!

Saying, "whaddup guys?" !

Two things, Gman, in case you don't know - always look up drug pricing on Goodrx.com. Coupons often lower pricing considerably depending on medication. Is there a Gay-Lesbian Health Center near you? It often can help with physician and even other cost discounts (that MRI you dread).

Adjacent segment disease will get you every time! And you are right in making that core as strong as possible. I discovered Pilates after I had a rotator cuff reconstruction. First i needed range of motion that Pilates took care of and then proceeded with core strength improvement which Pilates is known for.

I had L3-4 fusion 19 years ago when the anterior approach was still in it's infancy. Since the stress then went to the next level down, I tore the disc at L4-L5. Rehab PT was not very helpful until I found a trainer who specialized in rehabbing backs. Then 3 days a week for 2 solid years (I missed about 3 appointments) - I had a great body then and was "relatively" pain free. Who knew chronic degenerative arthritis was then going to be a problem? Would i have surgery again? YES - given the problem (spondylolisthesis - slipping vertebrae). But since the arthritis I am in some degree of pain all the time; I've had numerous pain management procedures, each helps a bit, and I accept it. I simply live life not allowing the pain to control me but the other way around.

As Rudynate said, "Been there, done that!" Fusion, later on a discectomy for torn disc. Albeit lower spine but the principle is all the same. I would do ANYTHING to avoid surgery. It is extremely common, usually resolves with meds such as Meloxicam. Having also gone the route of gabapentin (Neurontin) I would try to stay away from that as well - a great propensity to screw up your memory while on the medicine at the higher dosages. I would also consider rest, heat, even ultrasound. If having an acute episode, consider ice to the neck, followed 24 hours or so later with heat. As i see a pain management specialist for chronic pain, I am well-versed in the options and, from experience, tho pain relievers do relieve the pain, they do not get to the root of the problem - nerve irritation. You need the anti-inflamatories. Sometimes if Meloxicam at 15 mg does not work, also try adding a muscle relaxer such as Flexeril or Soma (carisoprodol) - either may make you drowsy so please do not operate heavy machinery. Always let your doctor prescribe for you. If symptoms continue you may consider specialized physical therapy with traction to reduce to compression. Good luck Gman - I do feel for you. Funguy

As I said, wowzer! Actually, I'm going to stick with my Japanese Clovers, tho 2 pair, cross-connected like an "X", not looped, could be extreme fun! Nips can be so tasty. I'm afraid if I get too hungry, esp. with a nippy-niner, with the magnetic balls I might then have to go to the DENTIST for a removal. And what dentist, WG, would be that discrete as to not laugh when the problem is explained?

OH GOD!! I just got back on the grid after 2 weeks away and I am so blown away I don't know what to do next! (actually I do, but that's private!)

Jackpot, WG. Avvertimento for sure. Too bad there's no sound. Now I really don't need my double expresso to get up - I'm already there!

Oh God! He's doing it again!!
