He was escortrod in here but his profile is closed, and his RM ad seems to be gone too.

Interesting, if the ATO sends a cheque, it is always the bottom quarter (or thereabouts) of an A4 page (perforated so it can be removed neatly), the top part of that page has all the explanatory information and goes onto extra (cheque-free) pages if there is more information to convey.

Shoes and socks.

I've seen discussion of this elsewhere, including IIRC from Dan Savage (not that he has the final word). Much of it has been along the lines that there are separate strands of sexual attraction of which physical and romantic attraction are two. Both are real but not everyone is attracted to the same gender for both, or to the same gender for both in equal measure. This society would prioritise the opposite sex attraction over the same sex one whichever way those preferences fell and say, 'not gay'. I don't think we should do that, but rather allow the person concerned to decide how to describe themselves. (I noticed what I did there, I conflated sex and gender, and wrote as if both were binary. That was not part of the point I was making.)

Thanks Matt, well focussed comments.

I'm sure he's been too engaged with the real world to have been in here, but it's @David-SF birthday on 6 Sep. Happy birthday mate, hope you are having a great day (with a friend, I'm sure).

I think the red thumbs up under your name on the left of the screen answers your question. Guy was apparently initially unable to identify you as being the donor he read as 'douterman'.

That strikes me as not insurance but a savings plan. Insurance should provide you with the same benefit regardless of how long you have paid premiums, and cease to offer any benefit if you cease payments. I guess if you knew what it offered when you started the plan, what you call it isn't important. (I have an endowment insurance policy which offers a death payout and separately a savings element that I can cash out or add to the payout if I die while the policy is active. It seemed like a good idea at the time but in retrospect it was a poor investment.)

To a regular poster, it's annoying, but if you were an infrequent or irregular poster who had asked a specific question, it would be useful as you'd receive an e-mail when a reply was posted to your question.

Proof positive that the ancient Greeks had discovered the Americas! Why weren't we told?

Happy birthday, hope you have a great day.

To reiterate one point that's in the FAQ linked to above, make sure you omit the leading zero on UK phone numbers. When I installed WhatsApp, the application automatically detected all the numbers in my contact list that used it (I already had most of my contacts in the full international format). In my phone's contact list entries that were WhatsApp enabled had an icon for the app.

Leaving aside crossings (Channel, Irish Sea, Japan to Russia, Danish straits, Cook Strait, San Juan Islands) I've been on two, 14 days cruising the Antarctic Peninsula from southern Argentina, and a week in the Galápagos Islands. Both were on small ships and unlike those mentioned as hopping between dully similar ports, those were to successive stops in richly varied natural settings. Both were superb.

Actually, I was a little sad about it.

You can go now.

+1. Well, not the Detroit part. My first impressions of you, @Kurtis Wolfe, were not from your porn or other social media presence, it was from your whip-smart and insightful contributions to this forum. That was prompted me to look at you more closely, and none of that changed my opinions of you, and nor has any of the febrile conversation in this thread. I agree, I would have let some of the hypercritical comments go. Everyone has a view about how other people should run their businesses, few of them are grounded in enough knowledge to be taken seriously unless they are limited to 'this is how my interactions with you affected me'. Even those comments are more credible if they relate to an actual business dealing not a hypothetical discussion. Good luck, mate, you still have some fans in here!

You could be right.

They are, and they already fly non-stop to Houston. https://www.airnewzealand.co.nz/flights-to-chicago

I've heard that used in the US armed forces but not in Australia. It's used to answer phones when they person doesn't know the rank or gender of the caller: they assume officer until they determine otherwise and cover both bases with gender. The two junior ranks in the RAAF are aircraftsman/aircraftswoman and leading aircraftsman/woman. They're the only 'gendered' ranks we have.

One thing is certain, whether you like it or not is not part of the definition of art. Nor is 'everyone likes it'. There are consensus views on what is art, but no single authority.

Oh, yes, that will happen. There will be people who say that they should use that money from developers for [some other worthy thing].

Art enriches us all, we should not need to rely on the munificence of some rich dudes to have it. Government isn't some entity that controls or assists us individually, it is a manifestation of us as a community. It provides facilities that collectively we need, it provides services that are part of the operation of a civilised society, or any society for that matter, although hunter-gatherers don't set up a government, they just do things together. Likewise with art. Public art enhances public spaces, it provides a focus for us as we walk around, like a public garden or park it gives us something to sit and contemplate. The ACT government used to have a 1% levy from development projects that it placed in a public art fund. It funded commissioned sculptures that have been placed around the city of Canberra. There were objections that eventually torpedoed the scheme, but since then developers have included public art in projects they built. When you consider the scale of the enterprises that our governments are, the cost of public art is chump change, if your county or city (like our local councils or the ACT government here) stopped funding any public art it would probably save you a dollar on your property taxes. Of course we still should encourage those rich dudes to fund more of it.

I thought your first response had answered the OP's question perfectly. 'Although this is a forum for clients to ask escorts questions, what you asked is the sort of matter we don't discuss with clients.' I don't know if he was being innocently or deliberately disingenuous.

I think he knew that but was making a word play on the apostrophe making it read as 'The list belonging to Bad John'. My apologies if you were playing the straight man to his gag.
