Club Dallas is NOT a spa...it's a bath house. If you look in the travel section there are posts threads about bath houses there such as one in Chicago and Sauna Thermos in Barcelona.

This post should have been in either the fetish or travel section...not the massage section.

Interesting. Erotic is greyed out, his handle ends in XXX, and he has 7 private pics that (I assume) are pretty revealing. Would be curious what the real story is.

What happened to you wasn't a 'gay' marriage...it was just a bad marriage.

Given or taken? 🤪

Huh, I actually asked about him in the European forums...no response yet. Prices are hidden...would like to know. https://www.sleepyboy.com/uk/london/escort/Douglas_London

So, the actual massage was 40-45 minutes AND he didn't massage all the regular body parts? (arms, chest, and quads like you said). I'd say $160 was overpriced for that.

https://www.sleepyboy.com/uk/london/escort/Douglas_London Anyone know anything about Douglas? He only has 2 reviews on rent.men.

I used to be more of a reader of historical fiction (think Mitchner or Clavell) but have turned more toward pure non-fiction since I've gotten older and it's just as interesting as the fiction stuff. I tend toward more historical stuff and have seen a few of the books I've read listed here. Currently, readying the 'Six Wives of Henry VIII" by Alison Weir. I got hold of a whole slew of her ebooks and I'm trying to read them in chronological order.

Same here. Just got my Covid (Omicron version) this week a month after finishing my Shingrix regimen a month ago when I also got my flu shot. I've been poked a lot since summer...and not in a good way. It'll be nice to take a break for a while.

Credit cards only allow 'reckless spending' for people who have no self-discipline. I haven't carried a balance on a credit card in over 30 years but have gotten thousands of $$ benefits from them.

A Lord of the Rings fan, at any rate.

Yeah, I definitely remember his pics. Not sure why he isn't on my favs list unless there was something that came up that was a turn off for me. He does have reviews going back to 2017.

Yea, I remember him from porn and the pic in jeans with his elbows on his knees looks familiar. Hot guy...I'd meet him if he ever came to NYC. The only non-5 star review is 4 stars and doesn't seem that negative.

I think with a $$ incentive, it is treated as interest but with points and miles it is different. I've read that if the value of the award or bonus is over $600 then they have to issue a 1099, but I've received many CC sign-up bonuses that I would swear were worth more than that but have never received one. It all depends on the individual bank's policy.

Since we travel enough that we can use miles for booking airfare and hotels using points, I always transfer to the airline that I want to use and book that way. Our points of choice atm is Chase URs though we also use Amex points. We were discussing with friends that we stayed with over Thanksgiving about using credit card points and they said that because they have the top tier Chase card (the Reserve) they get 1.5 cents per point when they book through Chase. I told them that last year we flew to Madrid by transferring Chase points to Iberia and got about 9.0 cents per point...a much better value. While we could (and have) earn points/miles on a specific airline or hotel, I think it's much better to earn a transferable currency (like Chase URs or Citi Thank you points) and then transfer them to the best airline that will get you where you need to go. As a comparison, I transferred 140,000 Chase pts to Air France and booked 2 one-way business class tickets home from Paris next September. I checked using Chase UR points directly (through their travel portal) and it would have cost 308,000 points plus another $3700.

Yep, that's him.

I'm going to stick with shorter term bonds for now since I don't think rates are done rising yet. I just put in an order for treasuries that expire mid Feb and the stated rate was 4.127%. The thing I need to do, though, is to space this out a little more. Currently, all my fixed income buys expire in the same month...I'd like to have 1/3 of them expire each month while I'm doing the short term bills game. As a reference, the current highest yield 3-month CD rates are 4.0% on Fidelity.

There's already been a thread on him under a different name. He ghosted me when I was supposed to see him a while back.

"(no JO) bringing a slow, unrushed, HE"...how do you get an HE with no JO?...unless it's a DIY.

I've always wanted to try Spa Castle, but it's a pain to get to without a car. I live right next to the 7 train and can take it to the end, but then would have to take a bus...probably over an hour trip. And since I need to go during the week (when SO is at work), not sure it's really worth the effort.

Yes...mouthwatering!

Well, those links just sent me down a woodie rabbit-hole, LOL.

This afternoon, one of the savings accounts I have a large chunk of dough in went from 3.03% to 3.6%. Of course, no idea if that is related to the Fed hike. The 8 week treasuries are almost up to the rate that the 13 week ones (that I tend to buy atm) were last week. I think the 13 week treasuries come out on Thursday, so should see if the rate increased from the ~4% rate of my last buy.

No idea. I almost put in an order a few days ago for 3 month treasuries but stopped when I realized the Fed meeting was this week. I'm going to watch the next couple of days to see how it goes.
