  1. I live in Seattle, so a galaxy near me would be convenient.
  2. Anybody know some good ones?
  3. A year ago I booked him in Palm Springs. He was in LA and had already planned to visit PS while I was there. I confirmed twice and again the night before. Then he disappeared.I spent the next day trying to reach him. Finally, that evening, 2 hours before our appointment, he texted me back to say that he had missed his plane and wasn't coming. I replied, OK fine. Don't mind that he cancelled. Mind very much that he didn't bother to let me know he was cancelling. If I hadn't spent a day tracking him down, he would have been a no show. Not impressed. That said, he looks great and has a great reputation, which is why I hired him in the first place.
  4. I've never heard a negative word about Rafael from anyone.
  5. Scrutinizing his ad, I was unable to identify a single reason why I wouldn't hire him
  6. I have booked a trip to northern Vermont at the end of July, long standing plans to visit friends. Had planned on spending a long weekend in Montreal, specifically to visit Stock and Campus. Depending on circumstances re COVID-19 between now and July, I am thinking that a stay over in Montreal may be pointless. I assume the clubs are under lock down (Don't know the situation there.) now. I am not optimistic about mid-summer. Right now you can't even get into Canada. Good chance the whole trip will be called off. I am concerned that when the crisis passes, the government(s) will sieze the opportunity to crack down on strip joints and sex clubs.
  7. Thank you for what you are doing. Your post moved me to years. Thy to hang in there. We need you.
  8. God I love big low-hanging balls. Any recommendations?
  9. Safeway has enough food, but might not have the item you are looking for. Be flexible. Home delivery is woefully slow, but Instacart is much faster. I have ordered 2 weeks of groceries from Sprouts through Instacart. Can finally get alcohol and masks on line within a 2 week delivery timeframe. Yes, at inflated prices, but they are coming down. Same with thermometers.
  10. Also, Parmalot is not bad at all if you can find it. Even powdered milk has it's uses. And yes, you can freeze fresh milk. Parmalat is pretty good if you can find it and powdered milk has it's uses like baking. Yes, you can freeze fresh milk.
  11. A bidet on Amazon will set you back $30. Best money I ever spent. Installs in 10 minutes.
  12. The Alaska website cited long waits on the phone. They have made it extremely easy to cancel on the website without having to call. Issued me a credit.
  13. Just heard back from Inndulge. I paid 2 nights deposit for a 4 night stay. They are issuing me a credit for 2 nights during off season, or 1 night during peak season. Good enough.
  14. I just threw in the towel and cancelled my flight on Alaska and my reservation at Inndulge. Did both on line. AA will not issue a refund since I purchased a discounted non-changeable, non-refundable ticket. However, they will issue me a travel credit for what I paid to be used before February 2021. I am good with that. Haven't heard back yet from Inndulge. Maybe they will see fit to do the same thing. Wrote to Oliver to cancel. Killed me to have to do it. I live outside of Seattle, the epicenter of this outbreak. I do not generally consider myself old and decrepit, but several friends have been kind enough to point out that I am. Will be staying home from work starting today.
  15. Did everyone see the pictures of American airports trying to screen people coming back from Europe? The airports were filled to capacity with people packed together like sardines. Do much for social distancing. This is insane! Everyone is practicing social distancing here around Seattle. Not that hard since people here have been practicing social distancing for years. It's called the Seattle Chill.
  16. Travel insurance companies generally require that one purchase a policy within a few days of making a reservation. They won't sell you a policy close to your departure date for fairly obvious reasons. So did I get travel insurance when I booked the hotel and flight and did I pay more for a flexible airfare? Of course not. Indulge has my $500 half payment already. I will probably be out about a grand if things fall through. It is what it is. I hear talk about interstate travel being curtailed, but so far it is just talk. I am slowly adjusting to what I see as increasingly more likely. Will probably give it until the end of the month before making a decision. I can be kinda stubborn. I have an unwelcome question I have held off posting until now: Can you get COVID-19 from fucking? --Asking for a friend.
  17. The paucity of sufficiently raunchy venues in the US drives me to travel occasionally to Montreal. Going again next July combined with a visit to friends in Northern Vermont. There are now direct flights from SEATAC to Pierre Trudeau on Air Canada.
  18. I booked a new direct flight from Paine Field, Everett, only 8 miles from where I live. Uber striking distance. FYI, Canada Air has introduced a direct flight from Seattle to Montreal, eliminating the transfer in Toronto nightmare.
  19. I have stayed twice at the Hôtel St. Denis and plan to again. Simple, but attractive, comfortable rooms. Nice place. Good value.
  20. Good post. Covers the essentials nicely. I can't imagine anyone not enjoying the vibe. One becomes very comfortable very quickly. Canyon Club is a little rough around the edges, but fun and very reasonable. I enjoyed staying there, mostly for the people I met. Decided to repeat my last year's stay at Inndulge. Must nicer. Good perks such as breakfast and free happy hour. Good opportunities for socializing with an interesting crowd. Only downside is it is about 2.5 times the price of Canyon Club. Either will be fun, one is more of a resort.
  21. Will be arriving Fri late afternoon and staying through Monday.
