  1. My father didn't really like turkey, so occasionally, on holidays, when one would normally have turkey, we would have an enormous uncured ham. We would protest, but once we got a bite of that juicy, fatty roast pork, we stopped complaining. I tried roasting a goose for New Years and it was so tough is was inedible, although it had a nice meaty flavor. I have read that goose needs to be seared at high temperature and then slow-roasted for hours at 200 degrees or so in order to be tender. Sometime I will try it when I feel like investing in a goose.
  2. Just like that - or even hairier.
  3. Yep, just love musclemen. To be more specific - hairy musclemen.
  4. I'm tolerating the methotrexate fine. First couple of weeks I had some nausea, but not since. I have zofran for nausea. Cutting the prednisone slowly. It will be end of next month before I'm off the prednisone.
  5. I'm going to order some from them. It looks like their trunk would fit perfectly. I bought some "trunks" from Bombas a few weeks ago - they were a disappointment. Nice quality but they fit more like boxer briefs - the waist was a little high and longish legs.
  6. I have never had an issue with the quality. I don't buy CK t-shirts because there are others that fit better. I like Express T's and True Classic.
  7. I have worn glasses since I was 14. They never stopped me.
  8. Youre right. I only book therapeutic massages. The extra money for sensual or erotic usually isn't worth it.
  9. How could there ever be too many Brazilians?
  10. Agree - -Mack Weldon is the best. I also like Express sport trunks, Calvin Klein hip briefs and Pair of Thieves sport trunks.
  11. But that's something isn't it?
  12. I wouldn't necessarily believe that tipping is considered insulting. I think people are ready to believe that because it gives them an excuse not to tip. It is certainly true that in some European countries tipping is not expected, but if you tipped a server in a restaurant I doubt whether they would throw the money in your face. In this country, it is said that it is insulting to offer a tip to a professional. I am a highly-educated, highly-skilled professional with decades of experience and I certainly didn't mind my young client paying me an extra 50.00 just for the hell of it. Having said that, I can't really imagine offering my doctor a tip.
  13. I tip massage guys and companions 20.00. I think it would be reasonable not to tip at all because they are keeping the entire fee that I pay them, but I like to pay a little extra to show my appreciation. On the rare occasion that I get a massage in a spa I tip a percentage of the fee because they are only getting a cut of that fee. I tip servers in restaurants very generously because the bulk of their income is from tips and they work their butts off. I tip the room attendant in a hotel 10.00 every day. I have a mobility issue that makes negotiating airports really difficult so I use wheelchair assistants when I travel and I tip them 20.00. I think most people don't tip them or don't tip that much, but I'm happy to tip them because they provide extraordinary value. Generally, they are delighted when they see a 20.00 bill. One guy even hugged me. At a place I once worked where parking was in short supply, I paid for parking at a lot right across the street. Every month or so, I tucked 10.00 into a thank you card and gave it to the parking guy and he always saved me a primo spot. There is a reason some people call tipping "greasing." I had a young client once who used to tip me $50.00 now and again when he paid an invoice. The first time he did it, I was non-plussed, but I just thanked him for it. I started using it to take my husband to lunch.
  14. I got a weird cluster of raised red spots on the side of each of my glutes a couple months ago and I was afraid it was monkeypox, but a dermatologist said it was folliculitis. I still have dark spots where the red spots were.
  15. It doesn't seem like many perceive it as a serious threat. I am one of many who got the first shot and haven't had the second shot yet. But I am not out and around very much.
  16. Nothing but a real one. We get a Christmas tree now and again. Usually, we just get a really great wreath and hang it over the fireplace and a few poinsettias. Then we set a really nice table for Christmas dinner. Now that we're learning to live with COVID, we will probably socialize more at Christmas, and, maybe, get a tree.
  17. My husband and I are more vegetarian (not vegan) than not. We like it. Don't know if we will get all the way to vegan or not. My serum creatinine and my A1C are really happy with the changes. Haven't had a lipid panel in over a year so not sure what's happening there.
  18. Cialis 5 mg. is approved for BPH as well as ED. I took 5 mg every day for a long time - had to stop because I started getting postural hypotension from it. Health insurance covers it if it is coded correctly.
  19. The best way not to get a bunch of responses you don't like to a post is to not post it. To me, a trash can is a LARGE trash receptacle that sits in the garage or outside. My initial reaction to your post was "Why would anyone fill their house with trash cans?" Poor misunderstood Unicorn.
  20. There are waste receptacles in every room except the living room. I have always called them "waste baskets."
  21. Me too - It lasts well into the next day.
  22. I didn't take it that way. I can't do analytics because I'm not a data scientist or a statistician. I am very familiar with analytics because I have had a number of clients whose technologies rely on predictive analytics.
  23. I assumed it was the former - but I still enjoyed it. That whole episode was interesting. I don't remember how, but I met the owner of the store. When you're getting acquainted with somebody in the deep south, they tend to look for a connection or something you have in common, so they quiz you about your family, your personal history, etc. With the owner of this store, it was that we had both lived in Colorado. He went to college in Boulder and so we chatted and chatted. I thought it was interesting that he had left this small town for college and came back and started a business. The whole experience was very positive.
  24. Agreed.
  25. I've had a couple interactions with guys who were very flirty, but nothing happened. One was in a men's store in downtown Denver. The salesmen actually came into the fitting room without any warning while I was changing. This was decades ago, but I remember him as being very hot. The other time was in a men's store in a rural town in Mississipi. The salesman was a good-looking young southern hunk and was very friendly and attentive. I didn't think he was anything but straight. I came out of the fitting room wearing one item that I was thinking about buying and he said, "I LIKE you in that!" Of course I bought it.
