Hands down, I’d likely hire Benvi again. For as kinky as he gets, just making out with him was a top 2023 moment.

I get a text - “hey, can you send John the video of Big Boy?” Then you have to ask yourself… Are they asking about Big Boy the steam loco, a rescue dog you transported, or a Brazilian? and who is John? Turns it was the Steam loco video, and John is a friend of friend. Code switching - the ability to adjust your conversation/reaction based off current situation. I primarily heard it used in a racial context, but witnessed it when relatives slip out of their northern accent back to southern roots depending on location/company.

I’ll admit I gamble in moderation. Agreed, it’d be better to win one of the smaller jackpots as well because 1) less attention, 2) I’d know this isn’t let’s go blow this all money. I fear with the larger jackpots you might be inclined to start spending stupid, AND not arrest yourself until the money already went below critical mass. As for what I’d do… go on career break, but try to keep my professional creds up to par to look into side work. Hire a personal trainer to force my ass into shape in a reasonable time. Probably buy a boat since I’d have the time to enjoy it.

The first time my Dominican Masseur called me Papi, I did get some goosebumps. but yes @PhileasFogg, I’ll joke about Daddy advice, but I don’t like the Daddy/Boy labels outside of the bedroom as role play. In everyday life, I’d rather two adults mutual respect etc. Power dynamics will still exist between older/younger or provider/clients, but I don’t get off on that being pointed out in public.

Another Chuck-ism from a dearly departed friend. After discovering the swim coach hottie, I fell head over heels for, ended up having a secret husband and I was the side dish…. I asked Chuck for advice. I KNEW better, I had red flags I ignored, but damn he looked great in a speedo and he’s from my town, etc. Chuck faked a bad Irish accent and just laid it out - “Well, laddie it appears you have been taken”. No other magic advice, get over it. Don’t sugar coat and don’t try to salvage it.

Tragic at 31… too young. Motorcycles are unforgiving. it’s a smidge morbid, but wonder how his OF online presence will be managed or terminated now. He went no PPV to spike his residuals thru subscribers.

A gay with no college options joining up because there’s no other options that seem better AND his best friend is there? I know a sailor and coastie, who did just that to get out of their dead end min wage life post high school and they didn’t have a best friend joining with them. So in that, I can believe it. 18yos are sometimes that impulsive and listless.

After having a bf I considered getting serious end up having a secret husband once, I reframed my thoughts on similar subjects. “If you have to tie up a dog to your porch, he ain’t your dog”. I used to think this was about dog needing to stay on property. Over time, I see it as long as the dog stays loyal to you and comes back. It’s your problem to square away if you can’t handle other folks petting your dog. What matters to me - knowing when it counts, the dog is in my corner. A decade plus after the husband in the closet - we still talk and somehow have an odd fellows friendship/lovers relationship. He’s since gone through multiple husbands. I’d probably never marry him tho. I can’t count on him to be in my corner if shit got hard. Same vein as Philleas - no matter how he earns his living, if shit gets hard in your lives, will he cut and run, or stay and fight thru it with you? That’s the only question I see mattering.

Yeah, I’ll usually bare down my wallet to just some essentials, but even an ID and single credit card can be an ID theft’s great start. Credit freeze/lock and keeping strong unique passwords on MFA and your emails will go a long way. Very least, always keep an eye on your card transactions! Lot easier to clean up while it’s small.

I miss being downtown with access to the snooty private bank that pretty much still treats you as customer not a suspect. Out in the suburbs, it did feel unusual ask for acouple grand in hundreds at the Chase branch I visited. Tho now that I look at it, it was over 3k, which at the time was a requirement for the increased reporting. Add to that Treasury Department is now asking banks to report patterns of behavior for cash withdrawals / deposits routinely over 1k. Lowering the Currency Transaction Report threshold from $10k to $1k. I suspect they’re likely to snag both providers and clients. That rule change came out in Aug 2025.

I pulled out acouple grand in hundreds at Chase last year, and the identity verification for a teller transaction seemed to be excessive. Drivers License plus a credit card if I recall correctly. I do need to look into their bank specific ATM and withdrawal limits. If they will dispense 100s directly at the bank ATM, that’s likely a good option. Been too used to the ATMs out in the retail establishments only dispensing $20s

Just feel the need to point this out to folks. RentMen chats are stored on their servers so anything stated there could be subject to leakage should their site get compromised. Additionally, Images uploaded to chat are PUBLICLY accessible without authentication as long as you have the link. This link / image stays active even if you UNSEND the image. Unknown IF or WHEN they purge image files. as a result, if you know the magic link - you can probably still see what I’m working with!

Sorry under the sweats they are way too tight to try to go over them.

I broke out the Meggings (men’s leggings aka compression pants). As much as I like free balling in sweat pants around the house, it’s definitely warmer with these over the sweats. Made a trip outside tolerable when it’s -9F / -23c degrees windchill Example of the Leggings

@Vegas_Millennial I don’t know if the small-time gambler in me would be able to ask for $50s. The old gambler myth that $50s are unlucky and you will never see them in a casino. Of course, I think the other is that they didn’t get a counterfeit redesign for awhile so the Casinos started that myth to keep the risk of accepting bad ones down. $2 bills would make leave mpression on the gogo’s and strippers! And also really annoy the bartenders trying to cash up the singles at the end of the night.
