Rudynate

I have a very fond memory of a black Cuban hunk that I met at a bathhouse in Vancouver many years ago

Actually, I had a cystoscopy a few years ago that made me positively horny, it felt so good having the scope snaking around in my bladder.

I knew a guy years ago who used eye makeup so artfully that you wouldn't have known he used it. He just looked terrific

I like musclemen. Strong preference for blacks and Latins.

All the respondents had the option that you exercised - not to answer a nosy question

operative words (emphasis added)

We stopped at Harris Ranch for lunch a couple years ago on a drive to LA when I was on a strict low-carb regimen. i had their burger with iceburg lettuce. I thought it was a great stand-in if, for some reason, you can't eat a normal burger. A burger & fries is simply my favorite food.

all the talk of salami makes me think of cold cuts wrapped in butcher paper. When I was kid, if we needed food for guests on the fly, my father would go to the corner deli and come back with sliced ham, baloney and olive loaf and it was always wrapped in butcher paper.

Its just to show how clever he is - sort of like Dorothy Parker

I almost forgot - Eric Hassan - another standout

Looking terrific.

There are two standouts - Michael Vincenzo and Jake Walker.

That sounds wonderful. A lot of them are that way.

Im glad to know that.

Increased prices in service businesses are going to be a fact of life. With capacity limits and the added expense of all the safety measures, they are going to have a substantial increase in overhead. It's just another dimension of the new normal. I'm waiting to see what dentists are going to be charging. I don't think dental offices are open in California yet, except for emergencies. Not long ago, I had a look at the new ADA practice guidelines - the protective gear, additional procedures and reduced capacity are going to make dentistry a very expensive way to make a living.

Isn't that death rate or mortality rate? Usually expressed as deaths per thousand.

True - interventions may alter the logarithmic progression

Short-signted to think of it as 3 million. Thinks of it as 6 million, then 12 million, then 24 . . .

It isn't just science denial. It shows that a lot of Americans don't have the strength of character that is supposed to be one of our defining characteristics. The countries that have successfully stopped the spread of the virus have been successful because the population hunkered down and did what they were asked to do. Here in SF, in spite of the mask order, you see people all over out in public without masks. SF is a pretty group-minded city. If compliance is that poor here, I can imagine what it must be like elsewhere.

Actually, that was one of the things about the disease that had healthcare workers puzzled. A person could have been laying in bed talking away on a cell phone with an oxygen saturation of 50%, when they should have been gasping for breath and unable to speak.

It sounds like we're watching the same series. The lecturer didn't say that was the only, or even the typical reaction. Other reactions she described were intense religiosity and stoic determination. The only reaction with some logic to it is stoic determination.

my husband and I cut each other's hair. We've always lived separately together and it suited us. During lockdown, we've become much more of a unit. It's really enjoyable to share so much someone you care about. It doen't happen that way for everybody. I know a couple that have been together for 16 years and are on the verge of splitting because they can't stand the site of each other after 4 months of lockdown.

Some Schadenfreude?

Their names just get around in those circles.

This is a great time to be a daddy. You can just be you and amazing guys will chase you just because you're being you.
