Having now watched it all I understand what Murphy and company were attempting. I enjoyed the show a lot and I'm glad it was there for us to watch, especially now. In normal times it would have taken a lot longer to get through it all. Without being too much of a spoiler, I don't see how it could carry on. I would so love to see more of those characters, sets and clothes.

Thanks b-n-t & tassojr

The longer I'm locked up the more inclined I am to sign up for one or even some Only Fan sites. Is there a way to preview them before committing? I have seen lots of Rhyheim Shabbaz on other sites and would take a chance on his. Am I unaware of means of sampling? Thanks

Negative at the time of test doesn't mean you can't transmit. That's the rationale for the 14 day quarantines. I know someone who tested negative after repeatedly visiting her father, who also tested negative, while he was hospitalized. However, she believes she brought it into her home and infected her husband and son. Both are fine now btw.

I agree with TruthBTold and WilliamM but would add that sometimes scenery works. They did in fact do a great job of making us imagine we are in a fantasy version of post-War Hollywood. It's a nice reprieve from the pandemic. Downton Abbey was arguably beautiful scenery and costumes with a story thrown in. Certainly the detail to scenery is a big part of the appeal of Mrs. Maisel.

If someone has proof of being vaccinated, once it's available, we're safe. If they took chances and still escaped it they were lucky. I'd rather attribute their behavior to youthful indiscretion than go in the punishment business.

I so enjoyed episode 1 and am glad I watched it. Yesterday's NY Times gave it a poor review. I think the reviewer missed a lot of its appeal. I'm not only member here who read The Man Who Invented Rock Hudson about Henry Wilson and his stable of hunks and watched Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood. This is a fun and gay-centric fictional visit to that era. At the risk of sounding crass, given that it is going to have a big gay audience, I wish Ryan Murphy and company threw in a little gratuitous nudity. If the mavens of high culture are going to find fault anyway then give us some dick shots!

I listen regularly during exercise. At the gym, which we may not see for awhile, I use earbuds. At home, in my basement mini-gym, I listen through a bluetooth speaker. In fact, it's the reason I haven't put a TV in.

Youngboldone: You're not rambling...you're expressing the sentiment of many us.

I think Steve yabsley makes the point about our reticence to hire, the 14 day incubation period. If we hire someone aren't we at risk that anyone he came in contact with in the previous 14 days puts us at risk?

While stuck at home during this pandemic, many members are undoubtedly taking matters into their own hands. That's easy enough. What about solo bottoming? Do you clean out before using toys? I have some dildos but I usually use them after a douche to get ready for an encounter with a top. If I try using them now in lieu of a real companion, should I clean out? What do other members do? While there is no other party to object I certainly don't want to make a mess.

When I saw "TV" in the thread I did not think it would be about television

Can't wait!

I consider myself blessed to have a full head of hair at my age. I confess to being a bit vain about it and have rationalized my expensive hairstylist. Now I am starting to look like I did in my High School and college yearbook photos.

I like DiGiorno's thin crust a lot. I think it's better than many of our popular local brands. The toilet paper and some shortages are artificial in the sense that there is no supply chain shortage. It's the result of panic buying or hoarding. The flour shortage is real. People are baking at home like never before. Bread is a tough thing to bake. More people than ever are trying because they have the time. That's why yeast is also hard to find. My local market never seems to have 5 pound bags but often has 2 pounds. I know from picking things up for elderly neighbors. This will have to go on a lot longer before I attempt baking bread.

Thanks all. I will pursue.

I am sure that I used to watch Graham Norton's show on occasion. I have Netflix, Prime and HBO. All I'm finding are a gameshow on Prime and and some clips on YouTube. If I'm missing something I would grateful for any help or suggestions. Thanks

Since it gave her strength through multiple crises my role mode remains Rosalind Russell in Auntie Mame.

There is a big risk that I might prefer cooking and cleaning to sex

I've heard from 2 regular providers recently. One texted me that he was "only seeing guys who work from home at his place." Apparently he thought his version of risk reduction might entice me to come over. No thanks! Another sent a "how are you doing?" type message clearly stating he was shut down for the foreseeable future. He asked if my housemate and I were having sex yet followed by emojis and a follow up text, "Blizzard Rules apply!" I hadn't heard the term before but it got me wondering if roommates and platonic friends are now fooling around or does it just happen in porn with incredibly hot bodies and cheesy dialogue?

Has a bad review on Daddy's on March 26 as A.J. Picture now removed. Just advertised in Boston under a different name. At least 3 names in 1 week and a poor review. How do you spell Red Flag?

Pensant, you make gluttony, drinking and gambling sound like bad things!

My sample size is admittedly not scientific but almost all of my professional colleagues are cancelling planned summer travel. I note that those with kids acknowledge they may never use the credits they receive. If travel is safe by August and September there should be some crazy bargains.

I was intrigued by your comment purplekow about the aging process and whether it was a reason to switch from top to bottom. I am versatile with an overall preference for topping. However, I hire only tops. The Boston area, and most places I've visited, have plenty of bottoms. For a guy in fifties, who stays in shape and is decently hung, I do pretty well getting hot bottom guys. Attractive talented tops are not knocking down my door. I wonder though, as I get older, at what point is it ill advised to douche and stretch my hole?

What's the best available version of Pirates of Penzance?
