This.

It's akin to saying "The waitress takes his phone into the room with you" or "The actress takes his phone into the room with you."

If only this part of the forums were named "Spas & Masseurs"

Yea, I think his a lot of his ad is him trying to be funny...at least I hope so.

Says he's in LIC so could be a neighbor.  Anyone have any info?

Anything new on this guy?  As hot as he is I'm surprised no one has jumped on it.

According to these guys the Elizabeth line would be a good choice:

 

When we go in Sept, our hotel is about a half block from the Tottenham Court Road station and this line stops there.  Probably the closest we'll have ever been to our hotel from a tube station.  The only time we've ever taken the Heathrow Exp is if we would have had to make a transfer anyway when taking the Piccadilly.

TREASURIES-U.S. 3-month Treasury yield hits 22-year high on debt ceiling jitters

The yield on the three-month U.S. Treasury bill hit a more than 22-year high on Thursday in the latest sign of...

Yay!  LOL.

Finally got to see him this week.  I think he looks better than the pics.  The HE was hot cuz he doesn't just jerk you off but merges it into the massage, so it's kinda blurred when he's massaging and when he's HEing you.  LOL.

After seeing that the Fed raised rates by 0.25% today, I went to Fidelity to check the new issue Treasuries rates.  I've been cycling thru 3 month bills, but there aren't any listed yet, but the 2 month bills show a 5.09% rate.  That's the first time I've seen them over 5% for the 2 months.

Not sure how this qualifies as a "massage" video...it's just sex.

Sent him a text last week to set something up...never heard back.

Just a moment...

Which is which?  Love the masseur.

I don't know what made me think of this, but probably just reading some of other threads made this come to mind.  Do you have scenes from books that stick with you?  I have three off the top of my head...

*spoilers...maybe :)*

1) this one is the most vivid for me.  I read 'Anna Karenina' at least 30 years ago.  When she throws herself on the train tracks at the end and (this is from memory, I should check to see how accurate I am) just as the train gets to her she comes out of her stupor and realizes what she is doing and wants to get up.  But as she tries to get up she feels a heavy weight pressing her down and she can't get up.  Just that description of being run over by a train...yikes.

2) Sydney Carton going to the Guillotine in 'Tale of Two Cities'

3) I don't remember this part exactly, but in James Michener's 'The Drifters' there's a draft dodger who is tracked down to Mozambique and he gets (pays for?) help to avoid being taken back.  Little Casino and Big Casino are the code names and I don't remember which this is, but one involved him getting his pic taken as he sucks on a big, burly Arabic guy's cock.  I read this in high school.  Amazing my mother at the time (in the late 70's no less) gave me that book to read.

rereading is reserved for those books integral to ourselves.  And a lot of the time rereading just means picking them up and reading well-worn and/or less-familiar passages, then putting it back down.  You keep them in a very convenient place.

I wasn't judging, just making a comment.

How To Buy I Bonds in April 2023 at 6.89% | Keil Financial Partners

KEILFP.COM

---

April 2023 I Bond interest rate is 6.89%! Buy US Series I Savings Bonds in April at 6.89% for 6 months. May 2023 I Bond Inflation Rate Projected at 3.38%!

For those interested….this financial firm projects the I-bond rate to be 3.38%.  We’ll know soon enough what the rate will be in a few days. 
 

Also, this particular website is very informative and easily understood for all levels of investors from novices to seasoned veterans.  In the interest of full disclosure I’m not affiliated with this firm.  Dumb luck and a Google search landed me there. 
 

Prosperity to all.  

It's interesting...we're in the part of the cycle where inflation is coming down (and so, then, is the I-bond rates) but it's not low enough for the Fed to bring down the funds rate and possibly even raise it further.  Even if they freeze it where it is for a while, I'm getting 4.79% on some of my money markets (as of this morning's email which said they are raising the rate) which is better than 3.38% (or possibly 3.78 with the fixed .4%) that it might be on Monday.

I didn't get in on the fixed rate, so I don't have to think about it...if the rate does drop to 3.38% I'll sell my bonds once the 3 month grace period is over (since I'm less than 5 years.)

I'm of two minds on this. I often eat by myself when traveling and at good restaurants. I haven't seen this phenomenon of social influencers at work in this milieu in cities such as Montreal or Toronto. But if I did I probably would find it disruptive to my enjoying the ambience of people enjoying themselves dining out. 

Otoh, I will put my phone on the table and look at it from time to time if I am not actually eating but waiting for the next course. What I find deplorable is when I observe two or more people eating together and some or all of them are looking at their phones and not engaging each other in conversation. I think they must not have much interesting going on in their lives since they have nothing to talk about.

We laugh about this when we see it, but what is worse to us, is when they then start playing a video that is so loud the other patrons can't hear themselves talk.

I like that he's honest..."my english is.very bad".  And I also like that he didn't cover that amazing hairy chest with ink like his back...woof.

I don't think I've ever reread a book.  There's so many to read, that rereading one would take away too much time from new stuff.

Is SBN @ Union on Sundays any good?  It's an all nude party at 2pm on Sundays.

I bought treasuries (in my IRA, no less) beginning of April that listed at 4.7% for three months when I put the order in.  Thought with the SVB problems they might come down a bit but by the time the order executed it rose to where I got 5.09% (5.18% compounded).  I think I read that since the bank issues may be in check, the Fed may be looking at another 1/4 rate hike.

We're only going to be there for the weekend and only need to choose one play for Saturday, so the search isn't too complicated. We used to go to theater every time we went thru London but haven't in at least a decade...I think the last play we saw was "Noises Off."  Kinda sad that the restaurant we used to always go to closed, too...Red Fort.

Pfft.  All my savings accounts atm are paying 4.5% and up.  This rate is not all that special and sub 4% is not even close.  Even the cash management account (where they sweep unused funds) at Fidelity is now 4.5%.

List of the best high interest yield accounts, we list ALL high interest accounts - get up to 5% APY with a rewards account or 2.35% on a basic account.

If you get more back than 1:1 from Apple, then sweep that somewhere else.

4/19:  I just did a manual sweep to a money market at Fidelity and the rate is 4.66%.

There are links to more threads within that one. Overall opinion is "gay-for-pay" and most of the comments in those threads were not great.

Thanks. Playbill looks like the best as far as comprehensive lists goes.

Is there a good site that has a comprehensive list of what's playing or coming up in London theater?  We'll be there in early September and are thinking about seeing something while we are there.  Thanks.
