I hated his first two novels.

We've always wanted truth in advertising!!

ABC News tonight with gay David Muir gave John Sterling a very nice, and rather long, tribute. I liked Sterling but I usually watched thee TV Yankees. https://nypost.com/2026/05/04/sports/michael-kay-pays-homage-to-john-sterling-with-yankees-home-run-call/ https://nypost.com/2026/05/04/sports/derek-jeter-pays-tribute-to-john-sterling-after-yankees-broadcasters-death/ https://nypost.com/2026/05/04/sports/what-i-learned-from-my-airport-conversation-with-john-sterling/ https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6021156/2026/05/04/john-sterling-obituary-yankees/ https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/48674427/john-sterling-long-radio-voice-yankees-dies-87 and...

Watch out for the traffic. Be careful crossing streets.

Very well written post, @samhexum. I assume you wrote it since there is no credit given to anyone else. Good job!

I agree that Chalamet was brilliant...but obnoxious! I enjoyed the movie. I do wonder how the ping pong scenes were done.

Too often the escort shortens the session. He may charge you for the ten minutes he was late,and, of course, he wraps up ten minutes early. Or one guy I know of left after he came...15 minutes after he arrived! Of course you can have spectacular sex in less than an hour, but, as pointed out above, you are paying for his time, usually one hour.

I'll take a guess! You had to edit out a copyrighted picture!

Really. Who cares? Please let me know.

I'd like to see his glutes!

A friend hired him and got 40 lackluster minutes for $400. He described the encounter as just plain boring.

Just bright Lights, which was a better novel. But I did like this one. But The Guardian didn't: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2026/apr/21/see-you-on-the-other-side-by-jay-mcinerney-review-the-clumsy-finale-of-a-classic-new-york-series

A friend ran into the same problem. The provider came quickly. Only fifteen minutes had passed since his arrival and departure, yet he demanded the full $275 fee. I don't get it.

I don't hire often, but with some travels coming up, I looked at Chicago and Indianapolis. The latter had exactly zero persons who interested me. My expectations for Chicago were higher, but it was total disappointment there. 'All of this was complicated when I found someone who looked promising. Then I came here, to the Deli, to see what had been said about the person. Generally, the comments were discouraging, When there were positive comments, I texted the provider and got no responses. I both wonder how these escorts stay in business, and how successful you guys are at finding someone to hire. I know that money talks, but I don't have much of that. Am I so wrong on my observations?

I just finished reading See You On The Other Side by Jay McInerney. Besides being an ode to New York, it is a compelling story about life during the pandemic, and how relationships persevered...or not!

So the virus knows if you are on drugs like meth?

I resent the generalized suggestion that older men have a particular smell. I'm clean.

I answered my own question. Yes, switch. T-Mobile had given me an over-55 rate of $30 a month, but now claim it is $56. I can't trust my phone company nor my insurance company (State Farm).

I saw Jude Law nude in a Broadway play. He was in a bathtub and got out to dress. I like it! As for criticizing providers, this topic has come up before. We have members who scroll the listings and find things to criticize even though the provider is in a different city and the poster was never going to hire them anyway. Yes, I have specific people in mind. It didn't change back then and won't change now. If I were a provider I would not indulge my time here.

Well, I'd like a nice new phone for free, but the offers sure are confusing. My deal with T-M was an over-55 offer for $30 a month, with $5 off for auto-pay. Now it is $50 a month. They insist it was never $30 but they lie. So that upsets me, but they also had a deal with MLB.TV that ended last month. They never informed me of that either. The new phone offers are quite confusing. As I recall, in the past they just gave a new phone to you when you switched to them. It's value was deducted over the contract. So, if anyone has recent info on this, please let me know. Thanks!

So far I know of none. Used to be there would be quite a few.

We'll sure miss Epigonos this weekend!!

@samhexum should receive some kind of award for keeping threads going for years and years. I have never watched this show, but then I don't watch much TV.

You seem to be missing the point the OP made. We are not talking sexual situations, but anonymous online conversations. It shouldn't matter what the race of the other party is, but what he has to say.
