Rudynate

I love it. I like to go deep on a loose hole. I like to go deep on a tight hole, but I wear out faster.

I Several years ago, I went to Germany for an intensive German course at the Goethe Institut. I was amazed at how rapidly I improved when immersed in the language.

I would definitely look him up if I were in Denver.

I made my first visit to PS early this year and went again in April. It has really gotten under my skin. I don't do much - sit by the hotel pool and chat, read, go out for little walks, etc. but it feels very salutary. I'm going back for a 3rd time in October with my husband.

Attitudes have changed a lot on this since my younger days. Everybody now is fanatic about being squeaky clean - there are all kinds of videos on youtube about cleaning out, the right diet for a bottom, products for cleaning out, etc. It used to be seen as part of the territory - that it was unavoidable to an extent - you just freshen up and everybody gets over it.

If we're meeting in a nice hotel, I like to order lunch from room service

I don't have any problem using up two hours in just this way. A few months ago, I hired a wonderful Brazilian guy for my usual 2 hours. I didn't extend but I Iiked the guy so much that I could easily see a a longer appointment and/or maybe an overnight.

About the only recipe characteristic of the 70s was quiche. Most of the others are 50s-60s standards that kept turning up at family picnics and in the school cafeteria. The foods I find characteristic of the 70's were bland boring vegetarian dishes and granola. 70's granola was superb. I lived in Colorado at the time and there was a brand, manufactured right in the state called "Early Bird" granola. that was terrific.

I'm the same, I don't care

I never talk with providers about their other clients because (1) i'm not that interested and (2) I don't want to pressure the provider or encourage him to say things about other clients that he may regret or feel guilty about. There is one provider that I am quite friendly with and once with him I broke my own rule by asking him if he had any difficult clients. My respect for him was already high, but it went into the stratosphere when he answered. He answered "of course some clients are difficult, but I always remind myself that everybody is different." He didn't blow me off or make me feel awkward and he didn't say a single bad thing about any of his other clients. Afterwards, I felt bad for giving into the impulse and I really admired the grace with which he delivered his non-answer.

You don't know where she lives, but yes, no matter where she lives, she should certainly have a roommate. A colleague of mine, very well-known and respected in her profession, lived a nice life: single woman, nice house in Palo Alto, regular European travel, great car, etc. etc. Then, she came down with fibromyalgia and was so sick that she couldn't work anymore. It was a bitter pill, but she took in a roommate, cut out the European vacations, and cut out all the luxuries, etc.. What was particularly unfortunate was the the way the whole ordeal changed her. This strong confident woman became really whiny and self-pitying and difficult to be around. The illness and all the adjustments she had to make must have cratered her self-esteem.

According to the number above. I'm at the high end of being upper middle class. It just kind of happened - I never really had a plan, but I've lived sort of a charmed life - right place, right time sort or thing. Part of the right-place, right-time thing is that I've had some great mentors who told me where to go or what to do at some critical times and things just worked out. 35 years ago, when I first moved to San Francisco, at the gym one day, I was chatting with an older guy who lived in one of those spectacular houses on Buena Vista, just below Buena Vista Park. I asked him how he had managed to buy a place like that. He shrugged his shoulders and "Nothing special, really. Things just worked out." So, 35 years later, I have the same story.

And almost all of them are, but there is the occasional bad apple who is unusually resourceful at making improper use of the information you share. I don't lie to providers, I use my own name, but I definitely don't overshare with a guy who I don't know well.

He's one of my types - tall, lean, muscular. I think he's great.

He sounds great, but his rate would be a problem for me. The limited repertoire wouldn't justify a premium rate, but who knows - In person he might be so magnetic that I would pay happily.
