  1. Uber continues to be classy:

    The test of whether Uber is classy (as opposed to the driver in question) is how quickly they threw the driver out the door when they found out about it, which they apparently did. Cab drivers are more likely to be aware of the laws and be aware of the consequences of disregarding them, but you still hear stories of them turning assistance dogs away (and the follow up stories of drivers being prosecuted). I guess the poor driver no longer has to worry about scratches on his precious leather seats.

  2. t's under 2 points. Does that mean for every "like" I get, I get 2 points? But that can't be correct as I have 23 likes but only 8 points.

    Please help me to understand. I'm lost. And afraid....

    Go to your profile page and click on your number of points in the left hand column, and a box sill come up listing all the reward points you have. There is a link from that to a list of all the available points.

  3. I don't know when first had a queer moment and recognised it as such, although in retrospect there were a few. I bought those body-building magazines but never for a moment associated what I saw with any form of sexual attraction, and generally managed the same dissociation between thinking about men's bodies and sexual attraction. I find it hard to believe myself now! I knew about poofters but thought of that as something about creepy old men (no, I hadn't met any) rather than something that might relate to 'normal people'. Something about growing up in a small town and being naïve: it's not that the place was homophobic, homosexuality just wasn't a thing to me. Realising that it actually was a thing and that it was part of me came slowly. Looking back I just didn't know what I was missing.

  4. Don't say you weren't warned!!!

    This is a serious concern. I'm waiting with bated breath for the Donald to blame President Obama for failing to stop these foreign birds from entering the United States and threatening American dinosaurs.

  5. When I was young, the assumption was that a college education would expose you to ideas and information, allow you to discover what you wanted to do with your life, help you to become a mature adult, and if all that happened, you would find some way to support yourself. Now the assumption seems to be that the purpose of college is to provide you with a ticket for a well-paid job in finance, government, business, technology, or medicine, from the moment you graduate until you retire. I find that very depressing.

    Well stated....

  6. Never say never. I'm assuming you mean you're not in the U.S., not that he won't see you because you're foreign.

     

    Yep, the fact that I'm not in the US. But never say never, as you said! I've been to the US often in the past and plan to go back there.

     

    However, don't be surprised if he does make it "down under" and you get to see him!

     

    Indeed, I seem to recall he was planning a trip here but it fell through. I haven't been to the US since I discovered Daddy's Reviews and more recently the Forum, and the possibility of seeing one or more of the escorts in here adds some allure to a long overdue trip to catch up with old US military friends I've made over the years.

  7. The NSW State Coroner has ordered a new inquest into the 1988 death of Scott Johnson, a gay American graduate student who was studying at the Australian National University in Canberra. His body was found at the bottom of cliffs near Manly on Sydney's northern beaches shortly after he had successfully completed his PhD thesis in maths. The first inquest in 1989 found his death to have been suicide, and a second inquest in 2012 returned an open finding. His was one of a number of suspicious deaths of gay men in Sydney in the 80s and 90s, a time when there were widespread reports of gay bashings, but police at the time were dismissive of that as a likely cause of Scott's, and others' deaths.
