I think Farmington NM is one of the worst places in the world. Some years ago, we went to Chaco Canyon, which turned out to be very remote. The closest place we found to stay was in Farmington, about 40 miles away. I thought Farmington was so awful that it would be a place to go if you didn't want to be found - nobody would imagine you would go to such an obnoxious place

I had to take a corticosteroid for a full year. When you take them long-term they can cause all sorts of nasty side effects - including with your teeth and gums. Sure enough, about six months in, my gums started to be inflamed and only a few months ago, I developed a periodontal abscess. By the time the abscess developed, I had a already started tapering the steroid. I accelerated the steroid taper and doubled down on my oral hygiene - including the waterpik with warm salt water 2x daily. I finally got off the steroid a month ago and my teeth and gums are getting better gradually. If I have to, I will go to an endodontist, but I hope to avoid it.

In the San Francisco Bay area, the weather is easy to tolerate most of the time - mild winters, cool summers. This summer, probably because of climate change, the weather was even more perfect - not much fog or wind - blue skies and perfect shirtsleeves weather all the time - Mark Twain would have loved it.

"Oh, but it's a dry heat." When I lived in Colorado, it got so tiresome to hear that from tourists. Hot is hot - dry hot feels like you're in a hot oven.

I bet you have.

Before the pandemic, I always did self-check, now I order groceries online. I used to actually enjoy bagging my own groceries and I was very systematic about it. One time. one of the employees complimented me - she looked at my bags and said, "That's beautiful!"

A hand on the shoulder or the arm, slight invasion of my body space. A little kiss in the right environment. Nothing more.

Yes. The salmon was frozen, of course, but otherwise was very good. After a couple of orders, I started to feel guilty about all the styrofoam - there was a lot. So I asked them if there was a better alternative and they didn't respond. so I cancelled my subsrcription. As much as possible, I have drawn a line in the sand over single-use plastic.

Alas - he doesn't list his rate. I'm going to ask him - he's a total stud - I'd love to have him massage me.

Aww - poor pubic_assistance - getting grossed out like those nasty-nice gay men.

What Im not understanding is why that's a surprise. After ART became available, there was a lot of speculation that HIV-infected indivinduals would age differently and that the degenerative diseases that people tend to get with aging would be more severe or would run their courses more quickly in people having HIV. AFAIK, this has turned out to be a non-issue. I have a POZ friend who is 92 - he does have severe peripheral neuropathy as a result of the anti-virals, but otherwise about as healthy as any 92-yo has any reason to expect. My husband is POZ and is healthy as an ox. He has been taking atorvastatin for years. Apparently, there is a potential for interaction between anti-virals and Crestor, so he has to take the Lipitor. But otherwise-he is a cornfed midwesterner with health to match.

I use my trusty salad spinner that I have had for twenty years or more. I use a salad set to toss salad, but I wouldn't be grossed out to see someone tossing it with their hands. I would feel safe assuming that my host had washed his hands after taking a dump or any other unsavory activities. Even then - most "sanitary" measures are actually "aesthetic" measures.

I never know what to think in cases like this where a guy's reviews are mostly positive, but one or two forum members report negative experiences with him.

That is a HUGE generalization. I happen to have a thing for Bi and DL guys, but that is more about me than about them. In my mind, their appeal is that they are slightly exotic, but sex with them is no different than with gay guys - some great, some not so great. It is true that DL guys traveling on business with wives at home are extra hungry.

That's me. Generally little interest in twinks so it isn't an issue that I'm invisible to them. I don't understand older guys who are distressed by the fact that they are invisible to boys young enough to be their grandchildren. Recently, I've begun to appreciate guys in their late 20s, but I don't think guys hit their prime until late 30s - mid-40s.

How could they not? I'm mostly after novelty in my activities, so I'm not after a long-term arrangement, but I don't see how a long-term arrangement could even become long-term if there weren't any room for a caring friendship to develop.

I like to mnimize exposing my skin to water, so I keep the water on long enough to get wet, turn the water off, apply a body wash with a wash cloth, water on, rinse and out. Sometimes I soak in hot water to sooth my joints. No recreational baths or showers here. Years ago, I used to like a pine-scented bath salt - don't remember the name. I liked it so much that I gave it to a couple people as gifts and they were put off by it. I think it may have been the packaging - it wasn't designer enough. This was back when the labeling on stuff you bought in health food stores was pretty homely and it scared people off. Lesson learned.

Whenever I have really amazing sex with a guy, pro or not, I always think about him alot for days afterward. I saw a massage guy last year - the first time, I thought there was a good possibility it was going to lead to sex, and I wasn't surprised when it did. What suprised me is that he made me see stars, and I know he liked it just as much. We started texting, and he asked "You haven't stopped thinking about me, have you?" And I said "no." We saw each other several more times - the understanding was that bodywork was paid and sex was free. He started asking when I would be over again. We definitely developed a connection, but I never thought it was anything but great sex, and I don't think he did either. I had to stop going because I got so sick from my autoimmune problem. I haven't heard from him since - but I've been thinking that it's about time for another massage. I never thought either of us were in danger of falling in love. We enjoyed each other though.

Bryan Knight - that big guy?

An Indian restaurant we used to patronize nearly every week increased their prices about 70%. We still go there, but we are down to once in a few months.

$100.00 is a lot to raise your rate all at once, no matter what the client had been paying. I"m not saying don't raise your rates, but you should have expected pushback for a 100.00 increase. I can't think of what you might do in your business, but a lot of times service businessess find a way to soften the impact of a big price increase by enhancing the service in small ways.

Remember not to flush them. Plumbers say that even the "flushable" wipes can plug up the sewer line.

The only thing I use it for is the sleep stories, which really help me fall asleep quickly and get back to sleep if I wake in the middle of the night. The sleep stories are bedtime stories for adults. Calm also has a lot of material on meditation instruction and ways to modulate your mood, anxiety level, mindset, etc. I have been meditating for decades so I find their instruction kind of quaint, but it would be very useful for someone new to meditation. Recently, I've been fiddling with Yoga Nidra, which really helps my energy level.

Give me a call - I would love to talk to you.

Same for asthma, and abuterol as needed. I have the generic for Advair: Wixela
