Rudynate

Old generally isn't pretty. Old with tats has about the same aesthetic appeal as old without tats.

Souvenir plates. Mid-century panther figurines. Mary statues.

I'm glad you explained that. I was thinking,"What could be more unproductive?"

Why play cat-and-mouse? If you want to meet the guy, send him an email telling him you want to meet him.

I like it when escorts say hello on RM.

And that's probably the situation everywhere, but judging from the number of successful daddy escorts, there is a large minority of clients who hire older guys. If I were in the business, I would focus on them and not worry about a client base that probably isn't available to me.

Why would you even try? You're a daddy escort - a niche unto its own.

Those things always frustrated me. My parents, when buying that sort of stuff for gifts, were guided by the principal of "less is more." So I would have this tinker toy set or erector set and try to build the things shown in the instructions and find out that I needed a bigger set to build what I wanted. I would fiddle with the small set for awhile and lose interest.

I'm inconsistent. Sometimes I help, and other times not.

I didn't find assembly all that difficult. But then, I'm a type that enjoys puzzles. I had them all assembled and ready to go. He knew how to hang them and it all went pretty well.

What decision did you come to as a result of that experience?

There are contractors who specialize in IKEA installations. A friend and I mounted the cabinets I bought for my rental unit. It took maybe half a day. Then we went and had a nice lunch.

I really enjoyed the early seasons.

The compuserve days seem positively ancient.

I have a rental unit. I bought the cabinets for the kitchen at IKEA. Otherwise, I would never shop there. Too much rubbing elbows with the masses. I've had good luck buying household items on the in the Internet. Just recently, we bought a wool rug from West Elm.

If a guy licking another's ass isn't intimate, I don't know what is.

At a time in my life when I didn't have car, I walked to the store and took a taxi home with my groceries. The expense of the taxi was more than offset by having plenty of groceries on hand all the time.

We get a weekly Hello Fresh delivery - have for a long time. It's more expensive than buying groceries, but costs way less than eating out.

Discounts for multi-hour sessions are pretty common.

They are supposed to be the best appliances money can buy, but parts and service are reputed to be a problem.

We have a Kitchenaid that has been relatively trouble-free for several years. I have always suspected that there is something about our installation that doesn't work. When we moved in 11 years ago, there was a nearly-new Maytag, that was one problem after another. We replaced it after a year with a Bosch that was also one problem after another and we gave up on it after a couple of years. The repairman who serviced the Bosch recommended a KitchenAid, which we had him install. The KitchenAid hasn't been problem free - we had to have the motherboard replaced once - and it generally functions sub-optimally, but it is the best of the three.

There were so many - DougMcClure, Hugh O'Brien, Peter Breck, William Shatner, Robert Goulet. I would say the real standout was Dick Cavett. I would hurry home from school to catch his show every afternoon.

That was funny.

If he has some internalized racism, I think it's his business.

My sister-in-law is interested in that device also. She has bad knees and is a compulsive runner. Unfortunate combination. I just wrapped up a cutting cycle. Rather than do conventional cardio at all, my trainer had me do short, intense metabolic workouts of about 2o minutes. They goosed my metabolism so much that I would get hungry less than an hour after eating
