Agree!!! It grieves me deeply anytime this is said (ie the “permanent solution to a temporary problem,” or it being the “most selfish act.”) Unfortunately the statement, though well-meaning by most, is usually said out of ignorance and with disregard to those who are close to that situation. There are a multitude of reasons one makes the choice. Nearly all I’ve ever known were not out of selfishness...if you really knew the person at least, and had an idea of what the circumstances were. People say dumb/ignorant things all the time...I sure do, but on this issue, people struggle for explanations and answers that they will never have, and it lends itself to a lot of speculation and “one size fits all” statements.

My father committed suicide when I was 11. He was a workaholic battling a debilitating illness with no cure and I’m sure the thought of consuming the resources of our family for his care in addition to the hopelessness of his situation coupled with anxiety and depression created the perfect storm. I will never forget that day as long as I live. I remember holding him and begging him to come back. Just 11, I didn’t fully comprehend what had happened. It changed me forever; even decades later it still haunts, shapes, and this may be strange to say, blesses me. (Yes, I have found ways to use the experience for good.) I have also had a paternal uncle and paternal first cousin make the same choice. Plus countless friends, extended family members, and more. Every circumstance is different, but the impact of this kind of loss is best understood by those who experience it as well. So, for what it’s worth, I offer my prayers as you sort life and learn to navigate this life following this trauma. I am not seeking to insert myself into your specific situation, however, when someone loses a father to suicide, especially where illness was involved and there are some similar circumstances, I try to always extend an offer of a listening ear or willingness to answer questions about my situation privately. That certainly holds in this case, but as someone else suggested, a professional might be better. Still, I found professionals didn’t sometimes fully understand, though they tried sincerely to do so. (EDIT: I should also add that I’ve followed this thread since it’s beginning without commenting. Mainly because I didn’t know if I wanted this detail of myself on the forum and the risks of revealing something that personal in this format. Something about this post by @RyanChambers and his circumstances compelled me to say something. Maybe it helps him or perhaps someone in some way.)

I am too. Thanks for asking.

I’m thinking being with TK would take some mental and emotional preparation. ??? A case of “biting off more than you can chew,” or “your eyes are bigger than your ‘stomach’ (or asshole in this instance),” comes to mind. Geez Louise!!! ????

Alas, I feel like a window shopper who will never be able to buy any of the items in the window. I live vicariously through your experience, gentlemen. Have a great time!

Forgive the divergence, but I always marvel at such effective uses of the “quote” functions of the board. I haven’t mastered it as well as others, and I don’t know that it’s my aspiration, but hats off to those who do it as effectively as this. (EDIT: Case in point, I can’t even manage to get the full quotation where @rvwnsd demonstrates his quoting skill. So, see above because I don’t intend to spend the time to figure it out, but it doesn’t diminish my appreciation.)

The fact that this must even be explained boggles the mind. Thank you for stating it eloquently. I had prepared a response, but didn’t post. This is well said.

I found Series 3 to be one of the most enjoyable thus far. Each episode addresses a different aspect and/or storyline that impacted the monarch/monarchy. I agree with a previous post that alluded to the fact that Olivia Coleman does a good job of transitioning the Queen into a character that feels recognizable to us now. Claire Foy’s portrayal, as talented as she is, while endearing, was hard to reconcile with the stoicism that seems to embody the bulk of public memory, knowledge, and most recent decades’ recollection of Queen Elisabeth’s image and reign.

From personal experience, plenty can happen and it can be wonderful. As someone else said it depends on the parties involved and their communication and interests....and your’s and your partner’s stamina. ? The removal of a “time clock” is one thing I like. Since my ability to hire is infrequent, overnights are my preferred way to spend time. I can say I’ve never been bored! ?

Well, you never know. Maybe there’s hope for you! ? It was definitely a jocular conversation that he was having with a group of guys clowning around on vacation. Just funny that I saw this post. I watch Mike and the guy “MattDoesFitness” (the both of them sometimes video together). They are a riot! Matt is married to a woman and they have a son. Sometimes the videos are corny. I find Mike’s videos to be a bit more serious, but I agree with a previous post that he definitely seems to identify as straight - at least in all the material I’ve watched.

I’ve watched some of Mike’s videos along with several other fitness guys to learn about their techniques, etc. Seems like a nice and knowledgeable guy. As to the question of the OP, there was one video I watched where he was carrying on with the guys he was with. Apparently they had been out drinking and partying the night before. They made some comment to Mike, and his report of what he had been doing the night before was that he was: “Balls deep in a MILF.” So, for what that’s worth.

@TylerandAce, I believe your instincts and the overwhelming advice here is spot on. I would steer clear. You have managed to carve out a great life in a community, that despite its faults (which all communities have), is a community to you. Not every opportunity must be taken and the doors that get opened can’t be easily closed, if at all. Best wishes to you both.

Sometimes our cheapskate ways catch up with us, I guess. Did he wind up eating? If so, I think all is probably fine. Chalk it up to an experience. I wouldn’t be too offended if I was the provider (which I’m not). I’d just assume you’re frugal. I find frugality attractive so long as it doesn’t get in the way of having a good time or being a human being.

Thanks guys. I love hot shots of ball back. These are two thumbs and a cock up!

Hot! Same here!

Please. There is only one mayonnaise...Blue Plate. ?

And 30 seconds is supposed to do the trick???? ? Sheeple.

Sweet Potato Pie....a true holiday staple in the South. :-)

To me, Jordy’s ass is a real show stopper. The grand champ in the football world. Magnificent! It’s a shame he’s no longer on anyone’s roster.

For those who value truth in advertising. I know I do.

I can echo positive feedback regarding jescortboston. Top notch guy. The OP doesn’t indicate whether he prefers top/bottom/or vers. That might make a difference in the recommendations.

You know, aging is a bitch, but I decided about 6 or 7 years ago that it wasn’t taking me down without a fight. In other words, I wasn’t just going to give in and let it take me. So, I started to take care of myself and try to get into decent shape! A lot of guys may have better answers for you, but to address your question and share what I do: 1) I eat sensibly for my goals. I allow myself a splurge here and there, but that is the exception and not the rule. What you eat is a huge part of the equation. High protein and depending on time of year and my goals I may be higher fats or higher carbs. 2) I weight train 4 to 5 times a week. I have gone through spells of intensive cardio. Lately it’s been more weight training and I do so at a pace that keeps my heart rate up. I have worked out alone and with a personal trainer. Currently, I have a trainer, and have done about the last year and a half. He pushes me even more then I push myself and it takes the burden off of me to plan what I do next. Plus, the accountability is helpful. 3) As for skin, I need to do better there. However, I use Kiehls products daily - nothing extreme, but I like them. I’m sure someone else can recommend better, and I’d love to hear other routines. As I age, I am trying to moisturize more, but I have naturally oily skin. 4) Grooming. Overall I keep my hair short and it grows fast, so I have it cut every 7 to 14 days right now. Shave daily. To keep things clean. I have considered some Botox, but haven’t gone there yet. I likely will in coming years to reduce lines on my face, but I’m not obsessive about that. I do have gray hair coming in, but I do not intend to color it. I figure it could be turning gray or turning loose...it’s doing the former and not the latter, so I will be thankful for that. ??

Don’t make me blush, @marylander1940! ? I’m not so sure about all that. All I CAN say is being “swallowed” is a wonderful sensation...the best...and I am thankful for the guys who have allowed it to happen. ?

In my experience the majority of the guys I’ve hired have swallowed - but I don’t have the opportunity to hire terribly often as of late. It has happened enough to reasonably expect it...I think I’ve asked once??? The other times the guys offered and/or asked for it. It was hot! (EDIT: Perhaps I migrate to guys a bit on the piggy side as suggested??‍♂️??‍♂️??‍♂️ I wouldn’t say they’re total pigs though...just guys. I think most guys can be piggy given the right conditions.)

I haven’t been in the same place as the hugely popular and endearing, @VictorPowers , to enjoy his company...maybe some day?. He certainly does not seem to have any issues attracting clients and, according to anything I’ve ever known him to say, is bottom-only.
