On really hot days, you could always bring the pots they are in into your house/apartment. Regardless, keep up the water to them.

I think I need to go to Brisbane and see if I can find him....

It's a map of Nantucket Island.

Meanwhile in the southern hemisphere (where it's winter) Canberra has just had two heavy frost nights -6.2 and -7.4 (that's 20.8F and 18.7F) which is cold for this place. Don't worry, I'll mention temperatures in the 40s here when it's snowing there next December and January!

An appropriate comment might be, `Build a bridge`. Tangents, and downright highjacks are a fact of life here.

Thanks for posting that @fedssocr1

There are dangers with deformed cans, but denting in itself isn't one of them. Evidence of bulging certainly is. I would see this as an issue of cost. If you can buy dented cans more cheaply elsewhere, factor that into your decision of whether to buy by mail order. Do a test on the next consignment, count the number of undamaged cans and the number of dented cans and work out how much you would pay buying that many of each locally. If that calculation puts mail order ahead, just take it, and limit your customer service calls to times when they exceed the average number of damaged cans. (Don't disregard the fact that by complaining you are giving them feedback on their shipping company, if they change shipping arrangements that could push up the price.)

If that is how you describe yourself, that's fine, but the question is broader than that. I describe myself as gay, but that's about me, not the community. Bi, trans and intersex people are not, by definition, homosexual (although they may also use that label). There is a debate whether LGBT, LGBTI or LGBT+ is a single community, but that is a deflection. They suffer types of discrimination and oppression that are similar so it helps to make common purpose. I think the important thing is to recognise that whether you include the I or the + or the other letters is not a deliberate act of exclusion of the letters you omit, it`s linguistic economy.

Whoa! In this para you've conflated MSM rates and general population rates, but that became clearer in later posts. The 2, 4 and 11 figures are the key ones, at least to start with, and they are for MSM. 99 is for the general population (i.e. not just MSM). The figures don`t appear to control for other risk factors like injecting drug use, so they point to a need for outreach and public health measures on all risk factors for African-American men, not just sexual health issues.

Thanks @VictorPowers

I'm so gullible! You conned me as well. What can I say?

Yes! That line hadn't been in any of the TV versions I'd seen.

Polonius, if I recall correctly.

I love this ad, for a brand of coffee flavoured milk. A father thinks of naming his new son Callum Murray (say it quickly out loud). https://dailycommercials.com/dare-iced-coffee-callum-murray/

I think Tasso was referring to American French-speakers not American-French speakers (and by American, of the continent not of the US). At the risk or Anglo-splaining (if there were such a thing), the misunderstanding seems to hinge on overlooking a distinction between two separate groups of (North) American French speakers, [non-bilingual] anglophones who are speaking in French and francophone Quebeckers. Anglos speaking French, whether they are from the US or Canada would probably have similar accents, and may be disparaged by people in France. Quebeckers, as you note, speak French differently than other francophones, and as I understand it, they are also disparaged by the French. Obviously the two groups can't be lumped in together. *I deliberately referred to people who speak Quebec French because I know there are francophone immigrants (form Haiti, Africa and Lebanon for example) who form yet another group of North American French speakers.

Those . weren't . hugs!

Have a great day, Killian!

Indeed, you are not, forearms are a consistent theme in his twitter timeline, and IIRC he has a webpage devoted to the subject.

Not a gay- or escort-related thread but an interesting conversation, nevertheless, about the RMS Carpathia, the ship that rescued the survivors of the Titanic in 1912. She was sunk by a U-boat on 17 Jul 1918, almost exactly 100 years ago today. http://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/conversations/conversations/9988180 The interviewee is the author of a book about the ship.

I'm not disgruntled by this, nor am I gruntled.

I'm not superman, so I guess that doesn't count.

Now you mention it, I did see you say in another thread that you were about to hit than magic number.

I don't know, but I don't see why not. A republic can have an overseas empire, whether they call it that or not. America did after all.

Possibly, but the French colonial empire was generally later than the Empire periods in Europe.

As likely the first person in the forum to see in 19 Jul, let me be the first to recognise a birthday for @TylerandAce. Now, is it Tyler or is it Ace. Or is it your anniversary in here? Regardless, happy birthday to two of the hottest men in the forum. Or one of them. Or whatever significant day it is! Mwah!
