Of course it happens - i know for a fact.

I have made small loans to friends and family. I always insisted that they sign a note - and I always got repaid. Once, my mother asked for a largish loan - to pay tuition for my brother and sister in private schools. Since their state had perfectly good public schools - I told her "no," hard thing to do, but I knew I would never get repaid.

Why does everything need to be served spicy now?
Rudynate replied to EZEtoGRU's topic in What's Cooking
Not Jewish myself, but I worked for a kosher caterer. Most of our jobs were at an affluent ortnodox synagogue in the suburbs. They had a huge main kitchen that was ultra-kosher - actually two separate kitchens - meat and dairy. But this synagogue was so big that they had a couple satellite kitchens - which were kosher enough - a single kitchen with meat on one side of the kitchen and dairy on the other side. But the satellite kitchens weren't kosher enough for Passover - during Passover, they were closed and locked - nobody could go in them. -

It seems like a Jewish deli could serve mac and cheese and keep kosher. -

In this part of the country - almost any supermarket has it.

Providers: what makes you not watch the clock?
Rudynate replied to DaltonJ's topic in Questions About Hiring
I have a good sense of time - I usually know, within 5 or 10 minutes or so, what time it is. I just know when I have about 15 minutes left on the clock - time enough to dress after a quick shower. So. I'm the clockwatcher. -

Rudynate replied to DaltonJ's topic in Questions About Hiring
Unfortunate you experienced my response as "tart." What I was going for was to point out the tough spot you are putting would-be responders in. -

Rudynate replied to DaltonJ's topic in Questions About Hiring
You really think you'll get any responses? No one would want to admit to being a clockwatcher, but they also wouldn't want to raise a possible client's expectations. -
Gay people often have older brothers. Why? And does it matter?
Rudynate replied to KrisParr's topic in The Lounge
Prior to meeting my husband, I had been in a few relationships that were all short-lived - the longest was a few months and I would characterize them all as flirtations or infatuations. At some point, I diagnosed myself as having a classic gay man's fear of intimacy. Within 2 or 3 years after that I met my husband and we have been a couple for 32 years. -

Rudynate replied to KrisParr's topic in The Lounge
I come from a very large family and I have 3 sisters and 5 brothers. I'm the third child. First and second children are both brothers. -
He's just about in contest shape. I never understood why he had no interest in competing.

It’s National Viagra Day (and it has a new side effect)
Rudynate replied to Ali Gator's topic in Men's Health
2.5 might be just right. -
I hadn't had it in a long time, but recently started getting it again.
-
It has become a thing recently - articles all over about it, personal accounts, etc. There have been several threads on Quora. One guy, who was very satisfied with his outcome, said that the pain and the difficulty of the recovery are vastly exaggerated by the media.

It’s National Viagra Day (and it has a new side effect)
Rudynate replied to Ali Gator's topic in Men's Health
I read long ago that they prevent endothelic dysfunction (the lining of your blood vessels). I took a 5 mg dose of cialis for years, but it started to lower my blood pressure too much so I had to stop. -
It's great - sort of like arugula.

Is going to college still worth it?
Rudynate replied to marylander1940's topic in Personal Finance & Investing
My plumber is a little older than Gen Zer - maybe young Gen X. He has a BFA and was/is an artist. -
How do you feel about providers wearing jewelry ?
Rudynate replied to Ali Gator's topic in Questions About Hiring
I think a fine gold chain with a tiny cross on a guy with a great chest is over-the-top sexy. But chains in general are sexy. There is a guy on youtube, not a provider, but incredibly sexy, who wears a heavy chain on one wrist (his channel is called "chainbaker"). I swoon over him every time I watch one of his vids. -
I was getting a generic from India - I think $75 for 90 days. This was back before it became so affordable in the US. I don't think I would bother with getting it offshore now.

Longer session clients are golden…wish there was more
Rudynate replied to Jarrod_Uncut's topic in Questions About Hiring
That's generally the goal with professional services - more revenue from "rocks" and just filling in gaps with "pebbles." -
Is it Silicon valley or the post-pandemic aesthetic? I have noticed hotel rooms are invariably painted grey with bare floors, and I attribute it to a desire for the rooms to look "clean" as in literally "clean."

Discount for in shape, good-looking and younger clients?
Rudynate replied to marylander1940's topic in Questions About Hiring
I had a guy tell me I was a "singular"client when I answered the door. High praise coming from someone that many consider to be a "singular" provider. -
My husband and I only have a vague idea of who Taylor Swift is. But then, we're baby bommers, so maybe our ignorance can be excused.

Thanks for this, Benjamin.
