  1. I think it's upping the ante too quickly. The first date is kicking the tires. I don't date since I have a partner, but when I did, I liked coffee or breakfast as a first date. But when you know somebody a little, dinner in is just the thing
  2. One of my favorite places to eat though. The food never disappoints.
  3. Having to wait for one sandwhich ahead of you isn't so bad. But it is uncanny how often the person in front of you is having sandwiches made for their entire office.
  4. And another thing to consider is the hidden costs. For example, it's true you can get a sandwich at Safeway for 6.99, but there's a good chance you will wait in line for at least 15 minutes before your order is taken and at least 20 minutes total before you walk away with your lunch. Cities have become so busy and congested that the simplest option, for me, is far preferable to the cheapest option.
  5. You're turning this into a contest of who knows more about San Francisco. The difference in our experiences is probably a result of the fact that we move in different circles and frequent different places.
  6. I think the special at subway-sandwich, drink, chips is 8.00 or 9.00 for the pricier sandwiches. That is with sales tax and a tip. Since it is money out of my pocket, I include it as part of the cost. Yes, you can buy cheaper sandwiches, for example Calmart has great sandwiches for 5.99. But if you go into a restaurant and eat it there, a sandwich will cost you a good 12 bucks. By the time you add a beverage, tax and tip, you've spent nearly 20 bucks.
  7. As they acquire more data, their analysis seems to acquire more resoluion. My profile has more detailed ancestral data than it did when I first submitted the sample.
  8. I've bought two pairs of Frye boots online and they fit perfectly - most comfortable footwear I have ever worn.
  9. I'm getting into made-to-measure clothes. I have a suit from Indochino and a few shirts from Proper Cloth. Love em.
  10. Great idea. I've thought of buying suits on ebay and getting them altered. I'm going to try it.
  11. It tasted boozier than sherry - maybe brandy. But what do I know? I don't drink.
  12. And the price of entry for a deli sandwich is at least 10 bucks. Even at Subway, the big sandwich is 8 or 9 bucks.
  13. I spent my adolescent years in Rochester - a very Catholic part of the country. Friday night, just about the entire city, whether they were Catholic or not went out for Fish Fry - either battered or breaded haddock, french fries and cole slaw and tartar sauce.
  14. My sti My sister-in-law's mother was English and made outstanding trifle. She always served it at Christmas. She made the sponge cake, the custard, the whipped cream and put it all together and let it refrigerate for quite a long time. It had some sort booze in it but I don't remember what.
  15. I have taken a holiday from cialis-it was messing with my blood pressure and I was getting very unpleasant episodes of postural hypotension. 3 days without cialis=3 days without any dizziness. I will just use it as needed.
  16. I was referring to Cipla's generic for truvada. Re: Cialis- I'm prescribed 5 mg. Tecentlt, I got a fabulous deal from AllDay Chemist-200 doses @ 20 mg for ~200.00.
  17. With a burrito in the Mission costing 10 bucks, you would be hard pressed to eat for 20.00. A slice of pizza and a soft drink, yes, but that's about it.
  18. I use the Cipla product that I get from an internet pharmacy in India. Cost for 90-day supply with shipping: $175.00.
  19. Everyone comes back from NYC complaining about restaurant prices, so it wouldn't surprise me it that were true. Here in SF, a modest dinner with drinks in a microbrew place can easily cost $100.00 with tip. With my sense of what restaurants charge in NYC, that same meal might run $150.00 or more.
  20. Cornish pasties are big in Colorado because of all the Cornish miners who came there during the gold rush. I think they're tasty.
  21. Agree with qualifications. More nature than nurture.
  22. Well, then you could just change your mind and go straight. Why haven't you done that? It's an easier life. Could it be that you're more comfortable being gay? That it has more appeal than being sraight? That it's what you're predisposed to?
  23. That is incorrect. Twin studies show exactly the opposite. Among identical twins separated at birth, there is a high concordance rate for sexual orientation.
  24. The first colonoscopy I had revealed three polyps, the precancerous kind. The gastroenterologist recommended another procedure in seven years. I later read that the standard was three years, so I insisted on repeating in three years. The second procedure showed no new polyps, so they said I was good for 10 years.
  25. Not necessarily a bad thing.
