I raised the question a couple of days ago with another regular attendee, and I plan to be there for that weekend. I haven't booked at InnDulge yet but was planning to do so in the coming days. If anything is arranged, even just intentions to attend with the idea of arranging meals without a formal organiser, I'm in. Some of you may have seen the post I wrote a couple of days ago in the thread suggesting a NYC meeting of escorts and/or clients. So I know that anything remotely resembling Oliver's level of organisation is a major effort, not to be undertaken lightly, and I'm in no position to help for obvious reasons.

True, GDP is more like the revenue of the 'enterprise', and even attempting to compare the assessed value of a company (and market cap is but one way of assessing it, and a perhaps dubious one) with the value of production, or revenue of a country (and value of production and revenue are not necessarily the same) is a curious comparison. Is is a method for the owners of capital to inflate their value in the world and puff up their egos? My assessment of the comparison. Cute. But almost meaningless.

A reception on Parliament Hill perhaps? But we're getting ahead of ourselves.

British actor Prunella Scales, widely known for her role as the wife of John Clease's character, Basil, in the iconic BBC sitcom Fawlty Towers, has died at 93. Fawlty Towers actress Prunella Scales dies aged 93 WWW.BBC.COM Scales played hotel manager Sybil Fawlty, the bossy wife of Basil, in the classic British sitcom.

I understand there are alternative rail transit options for Hartford. Not that I've even been there to visit anyone.

Gentlemen, here's an older thread for reference. We won't combine them due to the lask of recent activity apart from @hotmusclstud's comment today.

Maybe some others will too, now you've come here to clear the air. Welcome to the forum!

The EIGHTEENTH innings. Are you serious?

I second what @azdr0710 said. I know that @DznNYC floated this idea as a providers' function and he may want to keep it that way rather than have clients also attend. Some discussions don't need clients there (or to be blunt, may only work when they are not), but some of the things that AZDR said apply to any gathering with three or more people (or they can). My last job was in a workplace with about a score of people. Too many work lunches went south to a greater or lesser extent. Arguments about choosing from the house menu or a set meal with limited choices, whether people split the tab or paid for what they ordered, how to manage the bar tab to name a few. After a couple of dramas, I organised one where after a poll of where we would go, and some brief discussions with a few in the work hierarchy I organised the lunch with set menu, house wine and non alcoholic beverages included, other drinks order and pay separately, and split the bill. Take it or leave it. It was the smoothest we'd had in a while. As AZDR said, it needs someone to organise it, no negotiations, not a committee. Some people still complain, but more quietly, but everyone else says 'You knew what you were signing up for'. That's how Oliver's events run too. There's a reason they work.

If you are going to consider opting out of facial scanning at the airport, you should perhaps consider what it is that you are avoiding. Are you avoiding giving the airline or the authorities your image, or are you avoiding using your image (rather than a paper boarding pass, or your passport or RealID) as a link to a travel or identity record that already has your image on file? If your image is already in their data base, I'm not sure that using an image of your face rather than a piece of paper to confirm that it is you when you pass through one of the hoops at the airport does anything to preserve your privacy. And before anyone objects, I totally understand the wish to avoid providing a security state with your private information. Everyone has their own tolerance level for how much information they willingly provide, so I do understand why some would avoid having their image scanned at the airport when they can.

Ain't that the truth!

I have yet to check out his oeuvre but thought I'd share.

Welcome to the site. If you go to the home page of the site you will see a list of the separate forums we have for different subjects that people discuss here. Each of the forums in that list has a concise description of what each forum covers, usually with more detail when you navigate from the list to the forum. 'Deli' is the first one on the list and its purpose is to provide a place for the discussion of escorts and their services. You will sometimes see people here use 'Deli' to distinguish escorting from other things discussed here. Please take the time to check our Community Guidelines. There is a link at the foot of each page for future reference.

As long as we don't start talking about dangling clauses!

I suspect that isn't so much facial recognition software as photographing foreigners on entry (or transit) either for records or to match one's face to the one in their passport. I am photographed and finger printed as part of the US arrival process every time, and the automated passport gates everyone (including Australian citizens/residents) use on departure and entry at the Australian border require me to look into a camera. Facial recognition software more usually refers to software that scans a crowd trying to match every face in it to a person in a data base.

We've merged one of those threads with this new one. Of the other two, one contains only an OP with a link to the ad, and a cross-reference to previous discussion, and the other is for BradVersHung. That thread appears to be of the same escort but we had previously declined to merge it because we weren't sure that it was the same man, and we'll allow that decision to stand. In any case there is a link to it up-thread.

Too big, just too big!

LOVE that!

Easy to do, don't feel bad about it! I've added your post to the other thread.

Being single doesn't need to be coming from a place of that being your aim. Rather it can come from accepting that it is where you are, and deciding to make the best of it, of learning the creases of it and the parts of it that can make you. Regret can be a heavy weight to carry, it can make you wish for what you don't have rather than live for the things you do. It doesn't mean that providence won't deliver you more, if you are open to it and can see that it's being offered, and are prepared not to hold back. It may even be a relationship that arrives, perhaps when you least expect it.

I had seen him once, and wanted to come back for the final tour, but couldn't manage it.

When I looked at this thread when it was first posted, I saw that its original premise was from a satirical account, so in some ways there was no reason to take it seriously. Even so, there is the kernel of something to discuss, even if the only likely discussion is a tangent from the article posted at the outset. And so it has transpired. So I did some research. As @jeezifonly pointed out, 'self-partnered' and 'incel' appear to be polar opposites (or diagonally opposed quadrants of a question with two factors - partnered/single and happy/sad). Both terms are descriptions of living without a life partner, but one is a state of satisfaction, likely calmly so, of the situation, the other one of bitter resentment and blaming others for the failure to be able to attract a partner. A characterisation I read was, 'the term challenges the notion that being single is a transitional state or a failure, reframing it as a conscious, positive choice. It means prioritizing your own needs and happiness, which can be a beneficial mindset whether or not you are in a relationship.' It doesn't even seem to require sexual satisfaction as part of accepting the state, so the rejection Jeezifonly mentions may not matter. I wonder whether the idea of trying to equate the two might be nothing more than a way of pathologising the considered and healthy acceptance that being single is a reasonable way to live a happy life, if not one that most would choose. If you can't imagine living life without a partner, there's no reason to infer that those who can are being bitter, resentful or unfilled.

So it would appear that payouts at maturity are automated. That is something I would have expected, but given the nature of bureaucracies, both public and private sector, it would not have surprised me if they were not.

I use them too, but I also use the orange flavoured Metameucil, gummies and raw psyllium. Thank you for the translation, I was just showing off.
