This is the thread that made me take him off my 'to-do' list.

Well, that curve in his rent.men pics looks like it would go down nicely. 😉

Funny (topic), there's one escort who gets rave reviews on here and who is my perfect sex guy in the looks department.  When I get up the nerve, I'm going to contact him and set up the beginning so I can go into his place where he'll be watching TV with only a t-shirt on and he totally ignores me.  Then I'll proceed to have my fun...maybe for 10 or 15 minutes til we move on to other things.

Yes, awesome and nice guy.  I'll definitely go back.

You're almost better off now buying an ibond. The rate you'll get is 5.27% for the first six months. You have until the end of April to buy it at that rate.

If I knew I would keep it five years, I'd be tempted.  But we're fully retiring in 2.5 so regular old treasuries are fine with us.

Wow, the spreads are really getting larger.  After Cooper's post I went to check a 6 month treasury that executed yesterday and the annual equivalent rate is 5.3%.  Wonder if the banks are pricing in the lower rates for their CD's to make sure they don't get squeezed.

I looked into this system when it came out since there are nights when the SO works late (being a nurse) and I have to have my vino.  I don't remember exactly what I read, but I decided against it.  I just keep a half bottle on the counter and when I open a bottle that I know I won't finish, I pour half into that bottle and recork it.  It also keeps me from drinking more if I start loosening up as the evening goes on and might drink more if it's close at hand.

He's the escort of the day today on Rent.men.  Guess the folks over there don't read the real reviews on him.

So I finally saw Giovanni but I'd like to try MauricioCastillo, too.  Does he actually do his massages at the same place as Giovanni on W54th?  Do they actually live there? (would be had to imagine if the both live there, it's a really small space...unless I missed a door to a larger area).

I was reacting the the review...not the provider...get real.  If someone describes an encounter as a total disaster (for whatever the reason) and then say it was "relaxing," then that is ridiculous.

LOL, how was the ambience "somewhat relaxing" in that review?  Or maybe since he fell asleep he was VERY relaxed!

Correct. I have seen him there twice. BTW it is a very nice facility with spacious massage rooms, each with its own individual shower.

Does the price he list include the spa?  I went to a guy once that I had to pay extra to rent the space.

The first private pic of AndyVit is now a wide open ass pic...very hot.

LOL.  He blocked me on the site (boohoo!) and I only ever clicked on his ad when he came up in these forums.  But from what I've read, I'm not missing much.

The map points down to the ubiquitous City Hall location...could someone let us know what part of the city he actually in?

My doctor told me to space out the shots (flu, covid, RSV) by a week or two each.  Flu, and covid done.  We'll see how the RSV goes.

I did all three at the same time at CVS (they said it was safe to do so) about a month ago.  I will never do that again.  Hit me like a mac truck for about a day or two.  Luckily, the effects wore off pretty fast, but still...never again.

I just checked my spreadsheet from end of 2019 and was shocked to find we are more than double our net worth since then.  But our situation has nothing to do with Covid...but having a spouse who was able to work throughout (nurse) and even got some bonuses here and there didn't hurt.

I just saw he got rid of the lines that said he is not available.  However, on his ad he states that he requires a minimum of 2 hours.  If anyone knows what he would charge for 2 hours, could you let me know (by IM if you prefer).

Looks like he's coming to NYC starting the 25th of January for 6 days...any new info on this guy?

All these posts of yours are escorts but you are posting them the masseur section.  These posts should be in the deli.

Going to Istanbul late March.  Any advice would be appreciated (in relation to gay scene or anything else that might be useful).

there is a luxurious gay guesthouse in Barrio Alto - The Late Birds.  It’s basically a small gay design hotel.  Exceptionally well done & not typical of gay guesthouses/hotels.  That would be my first choice in Lisbon for sure.

Yes to Late Birds!  Stayed there for our first trip after Covid and the hotel was awesome.  It's very nice and, even though it seems to have wooden floors throughout, I never heard anyone walking around in another room like I have in other hotels.  It's also on a quiet back street which helps with traffic noise.

Here are the treasury rates listed on Fidelity after the employment report came out this morning.  Not sure how they moved since I didn't look at them prior to the report...

1 month:  5.361%

3 month:  5.319%

6 month:  5.16%

For those who live in high tax places like NYC, you'd be saving 10% (about) in taxes on this interest (depending on your tax bracket)...so you'd be keeping an extra 0.52ish % out of those 5+% rates...if I did the math correctly.

I’ve always left a small balance on the one credit card that I use for everything besides my debit card. I’m not sure where I heard this info, but was under the impression that having zero balances on credit cards could affect your credit score? It never made sense to me, but for some reason went along with it. I’m not a financial expert by any means but if I’m believing misinformation, please let me know! 🙏. Otherwise, I have no credit card debt other than less than $1,000 intentional balance. 

No, paying off your balance in full will not affect your score.  I've been travel hacking (which partly involves applying for lots of credit cards) for years and I've never heard that.

Great body and assets...too bad he is in LIC...

Give me a break.  He's near the first stop on the E train from 53rd and Lex.
