I had some sort of substitute burger, probably beyond beef, at a restaurant a few weeks ago. I thought it was excellent. The taste wasn't completely convincing but I was juicy and overall very good. It was close enough so that if one was motivated, it would be a reasonable substitute for real burgers. My favorite lunch or casual dinner has been a burger and fries for years. My bodybuilding coach encourages me to have a burger and fries as a cheat meal every couple of weeks. I'm thinking seriously about the substitute burger. This is only the first wave of convincing meat substitutes. I'm eager to see what develops in the next few years. It all reminds me of some futuristic novel I read long ago that was very similar to Brave New World. Only the very wealthy ate real meat. Everyone else ate "syntho-steaks."

He has scores of positive reviews. I attempted to contact him once, got no response. Ill probably try again. I would love to have that muscleman working on me.

I worked at a noted French restaurant called the Quorum in Denver when I went to school there. It was the sort of place where important people tended to turn up. I'm not certain that having waited on a celebrity counts as having met them, but I waited on Tammie Wynette, Anthony Quinn, Werner Klemperer. Judy Collins, Chogyam Trungpa, OJ. I also waited on Checkers Smaldone, the local mob boss and his son Gino. Checkers had a bullet crease in his skull.

There isn't that much to it then - cheesy foreskin, maybe smelly feet. I like sweaty smelling guys, but I suppose severely in need of a shower would be raunchy. A few years ago, I was cruising a sexy daddy at the gym and then I got a noseful of his sweat-it was like being downwind from a billy goat. I just thought the only way you could stand to have sex with him would be to smell just like him. You'd have to get his sweat all over you as quickly as possible.

One term I have never understood is "raunch." What do guys mean when they say they are into raunch? Or "extreme raunch?" Do they mean they are into dirty activities or nasty activities?

Its always nice to hear of good outcomes like this.

It might be different for aging gay men because we've faced the reality that there may not be friends or family in a position to care for us, so it's more of a deliberate choice. Nobody "put" us there.

Aka "independent living community" The thing I've noticed about elder housing is that, no matter how nice it is, none of the residents want to be there. My husband and his sibs found a beautiful place for their mom-it was like a luxury hotel. They literally had to sell the family farm in order to finance it. Yet she never stopped saying that she just wanted to go home. We found an excellent place for my mom, affiliated with Emory University. She managed to tolerate it by spending her time plotting her escape.

I think it is Fountain Grove. There was a hotel of the same name close by that burned to the ground.

Toronto is one of my favorite cities. I've been visiting there since I was in high school and just keep going back. Just about my favorite gay bar of all time was in Toronto, the St. Charles Bar.

My father's cousin was Mayor of Emporia many years ago.

I have a lot of relatives in Emporia KS-very pretty town. Pretty conservative, I suspect.

My husband and I are pretty content in the SF Bay area. But we also toy with the idea of leaving the state. If we did leave, we would probably go to New Mexico-Albuquerque most likely.

In Phoenix, they actually have a "monsoon season" with high temps AND high humidity. High 90s and humidity so high that there's condensation on the windows is no fun.

One needs some relief from the 110-degree summer days in PHX.

I LIKE it.

Some years ago, I had a peculiar skin disturbance where my skin got intolerably dry and itchy. Even a brief shower with cool water felt horrible. I started taking sponge baths in the bathroom sink every morning - face, armpits, crotch, feet and hands. Once a week, I took a shower. I thought I stayed nearly as clean bathing this way as I did showering every day. Fortunately, the skin problem resolved and I can take daily showers again. Having done this, though, I wouldn't have any problem doing it again if necessary.

Changing three times in a day . . . so "Downton Abbey."

I have spent my career in Silicon Valley, a very diverse, international place. Even at the C-level, it is common to encounter highly-educated, highly qualified people whose English isn't quite perfect. One learns to look at the whole person and to overlook the occasional grammatical error or misspelling.

I don't even think about an escort's education. I notice a large number of profiles say "college-educated," but if I was thinking about hiring a guy, the absence of that in a profile wouldn't make a difference. I will say that I have never hired a guy who wasn't bright and at least a decent conversationalist. The one time I wished a guy would keep his mouth shut was when I saw a well known masseur in LA some years ago. I cringed every time he said something, he was so dim.

It's all part of this game. I have always assumed that I am not a guys only partner for the day. You just have to do the math in order to realize that this is probably so. I always book in the early afternoon, mostly because I like day sex, but also hoping that my guy is fresher at that time. It's isn't important to me that he cum. There is an easy solution to the problem-money. If you want to be his only client for the day, pay accordingly. Or hire somebody with a higher rate who doesn't need to do as much volume.

blowing smoke at them as they inhale it? I thought everyone had done that.

That's right. I forgot about him.

Im also concerned about bleeding to death out of my ass. I have never had a major bleed, but that doesn't mean I won't.
