I think Kaiser's PrEP program is about the best there is. I don't think it is true that they discourage people from going on PrEP. After all, every person who goes in PrEP and stays on it successfully is one less person they have to worry about catching HIV, which will cost a lot more that keeping someone on PrEP for the rest of their life. The Department of Infectious Disease, which administers the PrEP program is only too happy to put guys on PrEP. Early on , when Truvada first became available for PrEP, my PC doc, who is notoriously cheap, discouraged me from going on it because my husband is poz and undetectable. I put it off for a couple years and ended up going on it.

This morning I signed up to try Martha Stewart's meal kit. We start at the end of next week. I will report back.

I had a small jar of pre-workout formula with the inconvenient brand name "C4" in my luggage. They ran all sorts of tests on it and called in an explosives expert to examine it. I told them "just forget it, I don't need it." But they said they had to go through their testing protocol. It didn't take that long - 20 minutes or so. But the notion that I would be carrying a jar of C4 explosive, that was labeled C4, and that I could be detained for it, seemed completely absurd to. After they ran all their tests, they gave it back to me.

For them, it's a low-cost or no-cost value-add that encourages your loyalty as a customer. Attorneys are not going to give legal advice for free because that's how they make their living. Attorneys, more and more, are adopting new value-based pricing models that feature fixed fee packages with lots of low- or no-cost value-adds.

Our neighbors down the street always drove a Nash. They were an older, childless couple who spent most of the year cruising on freighters. My father bought the Packard used from an old lady's estate who really had only driven it to church and back.

We didn't pay for them weekly. Every morning my mother gave us each a quarter for our lunch. A lot of the kids brought lunch from home in "lunch boxes."

I just googled it, had never heard of it - the forerunner to American Motors, which manufactured Ramblers and morphed in to JEEP. Our family car for several years was a 1949 Packard.

I remember when lots of Catholics had little statues of the Virgin Mary on the dashboards of their cars. Also, they often had St. Christopher medals pinned to the carpet underneath the dashboard.

Eisenhower's presidency. When I still had a conventional 9-5 job, some of the younger people would ask me how old I was. I would tell them,"Let's just say I remember when Eisenhower was president." They would give me a blank look, obviously not even knowing who Eisenhower was. I actually have a framed photograph of Eisenhower on the wall, not because I think he was a great president, but mostly as a joke. I also remember school lunches for $.25 and extra milk for $.02. I also remember living in a small town where everybody knew each other so well that even when I was in a strange part of town, the people there knew who I was.

Every time there was a bond issue on the ballot to increase funding for the schools, the teachers would threaten double sessions to convince our parents to vote for the bond issue. Actually, that's something to remember - when nobody questioned the value of public schools and wouldn't think of voting against increasing funding for the schools.

Hellofresh is heavy on Thai and Southwest.

I guess I'm lucky. I am crazy about toasted sourdough bread dripping with butter. I have 2 or 3 slices every day and my A1C is usually less than 5.

The red face, will not very aesthetic, is, I think, a good thing. It comes from the viagra dilating your blood vessels. There's certainly such a thing as dilating them too much so that your blood pressure becomes dangerously low. Within reason, though, dilated blood vessels are a good thing, much better than constricted blood vessels. I have read that a daily dose of cialis has a very beneficial effect on endothelial dysfunction -that's a big benefit.

Just once. I met with a provider I first contacted on A4A. The initial communication was a little bumpy, but I felt comfortable enough to go through with it. He turned out to be a badly damaged Iraq war vet, who was weird enough in person so that I felt uncomfortable around him. Nothing happened, the appointment was OK. In terms of his orientation, he told me he was "heterocentric." I hadn't heard the term before. He said it meant that he liked sex with guys but only formed emotional attachments with women and he texted me and wanted to do another appointment. I didn't take him up on it.

Mine is aggressively invested almost all in Financial and tech stocks. I think I have a little in CD funds and a little in bond funds - not completely sure. My financial advisor makes most of the decisions - I just rubber-stamp them. He's very smart - I trust him, for the most part. Just before the financial collapse, I made one good call -about two weeks before the market crashed, I went all to cash and stayed in cash for months until the market volatility quieted down. Otherwise, I'm not that smart an investor. I made quite a bit on option plays - I just happened to choose the right advisor -followed all of his plays and made a lot money. I'm thinking of starting to work with him again.

What’s the appeal of the biggest cities for many providers?
Rudynate replied to TallMuscl37's topic in Questions About Hiring
That's great to hear. Buffalo was an amazing city at one time. In the late 19th century it was one of the most affluent cities in the country. When I was a little kid, my father used to have to goto Buffalo on errands for his job sometimes and he would take me with him. It was still a big, lively bustling city then. -

I grew up in that part of New York State - it's a wasteland. I'm sure things have changed some but I lived in Rochester in the late 80's. It was like a small-town scene from the 70s - the gay community was pretty affluent and very clubby - everybody knew everybody else - it was mostly couples who were into their houses and the big thing was to go out to a particular restaurant on Friday night for fish fry. If you were looking for any excitement, you went to Boston or NYC or Toronto. I got in the habit of going to Toronto nearly every weekend. I believe Buffalo was much the same way. There was a restaurant in Buffalo gay guys used to frequent called Lord Chumley's. -
There is a straight dom who's into FinDom who has a profile on IG - he's a pretty impressive guy - a blond muscle hunk - also does personal training and coaching. I think skill at head games is probably more important in this fetish then being in top physical condition.

Just a quirk of mine - shaped eyebrows on a man are the biggest turn-off ever -
Put it out there on your profile that you're a provider and follow up with anyone who views your profile. I think most Findom providers are straight. I have seen them advertise on Dom sites targeted at gay subs. I have always had the idea that most gay guys into FinDom are into being used by straight guys. I think it is also common that straight guys are into FindDominatrixes.
