When I needed glasses to read what was posted on this forum. ?

Luibit, you reminded me about travel.We do usually sleep together on trips. We took a cruise in fall 2019. I guess that won't happen again for some time.

Do partnered members, especially if you've been together for a long time, still sleep together? My partner of almost 20 years and I used to share a bed. Now we have separate rooms. Even when we do have sex we sometimes return to our own beds. In fact, my room is the one we used to "entertain" guests to keep our bed clean. Older straight couples sometimes shift to twin beds but I have never heard of it for gays.

I liked and mostly miss bars. Years ago when I traveled for work stopping in a local bar was a way to learn a bit about the town and pick up the local gay magazine. It all seems so ancient now. The bars that succeed draw a mostly older crowd. Think Twin Peeks in San San Francisco and Martinis in San Diego. Fort Lauderdale presently has a number of functioning bars but it has an older demographic and tourists. A conservative business plan that seeks an older crowd and low overhead (own the building or get a reasonable rent) makes more sense than trying to replicate the big venues of the past.

Me too! And I suspect many others.

I appreciate the response and am not being a smart ass but I'm not sure of PV's appeal without clubs. I recall only small amounts of beachfront not run by restaurants or resorts. Did I miss something?

Sorry to hear that. Travel for me like many of us, I suspect, is predicated on getting the vaccine.

Has anyone traveled recently? Living in the cold Northeast I always enjoy a winter respite. I am not anxious to get on a plane until vaccinated. Also, friends who visited Florida over Christmas were aghast at the lack of mask wearing. If I get the shot(s) before winter ends I'd like to travel. Are Fort Lauderdale, Key West and Puerto Vallarta drawing tourists?

The other half of the duo just died 8 months after his partner Roy Horn. I never saw their act. Have any forum members? Also, since we have some Las Vegas residents and visitors, I'm curious as to whether or not they were visible on the gay scene. While they were pretty candid about their relationship they may have been too famous to visit a club.

This is everyone's fantasy! Congrats for living and sharing it

These guys are so friendly! Was talking with them the other day about food and two of the cousins said they'd cook us a traditional meal with lamb. Before my fantasies get carried away I have to remember that they are just being friendly, are straight and may not even realize we're gay. Maybe we'll take them up when the weather is warmer if they wear tank tops!

I'm curious if anyone's gaydar pings around certain nationalities or types of guys. My bf is restoring an old pick-up truck and the garage that's helping him is run by an extended Lebanese family. Some combination of looks, accents and friendliness induces speculation. Undoubtedly, baseless speculation. Something similar occurred a few years ago in Turkey. Shaved eyebrows, warm smiles and lots of touching could have led to a lot of misunderstanding.

Bump. Presently in Boston.

I agree. Thanks for posting it. Arguably, Jonathan Bailey, who plays Anthony Bridgerton, has a more defined body. And I believe he's on our team. But it's the whole package that makes Rege-Jean Page so appealing.

Ma has good taste!

I am inexplicably having a major crush on Rege-Jean Page. The last time I fell so head over heels for a TV character was Don Johnson (Sonny Crockett) on Miami Vice. My defense then was that I was a mere lad. This however, is exceeding the acceptable boundaries of my David Muir and Benjamin Nicholas crushes.

Is there a rate that you will not exceed? I have a dear friend who has been very successful financially. He is generous and quick to pick up the tab. But he will not frequent certain high end restaurants saying he just doesn't feel he gets his money's worth. I think I have a similar sentiment regarding this hobby. This summer I had 2 providers quote what I thought were exorbitant rates. One asked for 350 and another 400 per hour. The latter had good reviews and looked good in pics but the price/pleasure equation didn't balance. I derive a lot more pleasure, and bang for buck, from a multi-hour booking, often with guys I've met before. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and criteria.

Chris & Don. A Love Story (2007) - IMDbwww.imdb.com › title I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this. Light entertainment and a bit of gay history.

Several years ago my company hosted a motivational speaker during a management retreat. His them was, "Successful people finish what they start."

I am willing to go to my local firehouse, disrobe and submit to a thorough examination, even if they never heard of COVID

TommyOBrian Another day, another name. Caveat emptor?

Let's be careful about strict casting rules and the boomerang effect. It is called "acting." Do we want gay actors banned from straight roles?

I did the total stop in March. It lasted a few months. Then I met with some regular FB's that I trusted and knew were being generally careful. While I tried to be somewhat selective I did get more adventurous and do some hiring during summer and early fall. One steady hire no longer runs an ad, sees only a few clients, and is super health conscious so I felt safer. Some of the above comments have me wondering if I should again hit the pause button until the vaccine.

He should search for re-runs of the old Phil Silvers Show. In a classic episode Sgt. Bilko comes down with his annual illness just as his unit is going on bivouac.

This year my family Christmas celebration will be curtailed. The big extended family Christmas Eve event is cancelled. Christmas Day I'm going to have dinner with my sister, her husband and kids, and my mother. I'm on a self-imposed RM, FWB & Scruff hiatus until afterwards. I don't want to risk passing COVID to anyone, especially my elderly mother. Is anyone else adjusting hiring, etc. to their Christmas plans?
