FWIW, I am pretty stupid about non-linear story telling, but I did not have trouble with Dunkirk. And it's a big film so - for those of us who do not have difficulty with the format - it should suit IMAX well.

Long years ago, I was working at a big law firm. We had a difference of opinion about how much money I should be bringing into the firm. (We differed by a decimal point.) With a good deal of encouragement from the firm, I started out on my own. A few months later, I had a client respond to a bill with a screed about how I was ripping off the community. I tore up the bill and sent back the money he'd paid on previous bills. It felt so good. Getting stiffed by a client is a bummer. But it's nowhere near as bad as being angry for an hour. And getting shorted once or twice every few years is nowhere near as bad as approaching every encounter with distrust. Getting shorted is a small price to pay for the privilege of living with an open heart.

Does my $13,000 balance on Master Card count?

I started marching in the parades in . . . oh, let's say 1971. I quit when I couldn't tolerate the commercialism and the opportunistic politicians. Besides, there wasn't any contingent with a message I had any interest in supporting. This year, however, there was a Solidarity Contingent here in Chicago. "We're here! We're queer! We're Socialists!" It was WONDERFUL. And my friend says I can have my Gay card back.

Do you think it's time to come out to the boys? Based on the discussion here, I think the chance of rejection is very slight, and the possibility of adding an entire dimension to your relationship looks pretty great.

This is but one example - although a particularly irritating one - of a really common failing: neglecting to update a statement which has become stale. The reason this one is particularly irritating is that it's likely to be the preface to a frustrating and interminable interaction with a computer.

There is something perversely delicious in the pervasive use of "literally" - figuratively.

Hell, I get a thrill when the machine scans my card and says "Accepted." Acceptance is hard enough to get.

How is that arranged?

1. As Gman says, nothing is 100% safe. I often hire guys from Rent.Men for whom I do not find reviews. I am often disappointed but have never felt unsafe. I seem to have a protective bubble, but that's my experience - FWIW. 2. You'd have better response to your inquiry about MrGoodBody by asking the The Deli, the forum especially for that kind of inquiry. 3. Nervousness is common but not justified by the amount of risk - particularly if you do your research.

There are colleges without fraternities which are doing just fine. I am very, very glad I went to one.

Once every week or three. Sigh.

I don't think that's $117/month. I think that's $117 per pill.

They'll have to come down on the price before it becomes "the norm." Adam Smith, does your ACA insurer cover it?

Howard Brown, the LGBTQ health center in Chicago, is recommending faithful condom use even for people on PrEP. Are they alone?
