I can tell you, it gets better. 2 years ago I had sextuple bypass at 59 Post surgery it took me about 2 weeks to be able to move about with ease. I wasn’t allowed to drive for 12 weeks. Showering was a challenge but with a stool inside my walk-in I was able to manage. I was extremely cautious with general movement as I was petrified I’d adversely affect the healing of my sternum. While I wasn’t in horrible shape before surgery I was definitely more a couch potato. Today I’m down 50 lbs, I walk/run 5 miles a day, walk up and down stairs in lieu of elevators or escalators, am totally vegan and doing great. Good luck with your recovery. Sorry I didn’t see your post earlier.

I haven’t seen one of those in years. That’s just a heating element; I’m not following how it is you make your coffee to begin with.

Yes he is

Hilarious.

Yes thanks. We’re looking everywhere. He’s safely settled for a few days couch surfing at a friend’s apartment. His budget is in the $800 range but in today’s Los Angeles that doesn’t go far, even with a roommate. He’s set up appointments this weekend to check out a few places.

Wow, really?

Thank you for taking the time to reply. Much appreciated.

The boy is not looking for free room. I don’t know where you got that. And this was a very well orchestrated scam executed through a series of calls, emails and FaceTime meetings long distance; not easy to inspect a physical location from 400 miles away. The boy’s parents were party to all of this. There were convincing legal documents including a lease agreement, property files, a realtor reference and driver’s licenses exchanged, all fake as it turns out. So let’s not let this devolve into a pedantic debate about what should have or could have happened, with accusations of recklessness. Scams like this happen. Unfortunately he and his family are victim to a whopper despite all efforts to attempt to avoid abuse. The LAPD and WeHo Sheriff’s office are looking into this. Thanks for weighing in.

Thank you

Good idea but I’m not able to change title

Thanks for posting that

Thank you. Replied

To all my Los Angeles neighbors: Does anyone happen to have a room for rent? A spare bedroom, a basement apartment, anything really... A sweet boy I know, not a provider, just moved to LA and was defrauded out of a month’s security deposit he prepaid. The apartment, the “landlord”, even apparently the building do not exist, and he was supposed to move in today so he is essentially homeless. Fortunately a school friend who lives here is able to give up his sofa for a couple of nights but that’s the extent of his hospitality. He’s a nice young man from a good family and would be a respectable lodger. Please, if anyone has or knows of a place please let me know ASAP. Thanks much.

I interacted with this guy once on SCRUFF. All I can offer is: I suggest staying away. Something is definitely off with this one. Suffice to say I blocked him after only 5 minutes of chatting.

“...taking the time to douche...” is not in question; expected; and generally what this thread is about. My query regards any extraordinary experiences vegans may have.

Anyone else here a vegan? How has it affected you relative to this discussion?

Just messaged him in LA. His quoted rate: $400 first hour + outcall transportation

Try @Cody Converse I don’t have first hand experience but I’d give anything to...

I have not met with him

My favorite go-to guy.
