I love Amazon and use it often. However, I am concerned that companies like Amazon, Google and a multitude of other internet companies are beyond the control of our current anti-trust laws. What is the answer -- I wish to god I knew. In less contentious times the President and both houses of congress might put together a bipartisan committee/commission to investigate the situation and make recommendation but that isn't about to happen in today's politically polarized atmosphere. If the current administration were to establish such a committee/commission it would be packed with industry representatives. If the next administration is Democratic then the committee/commission will be packed with anti industry representatives.

Most of us who began losing our hair young, I was still in high school, initially hated the idea of being bald or partially bald. Many of us tried comb overs, transplants, or hair pieces. Eventually we reconciled ourselves to the fact that we were going to lose our hair and there really wasn’t a damn thing we could do about. I finally gave up comb overs when my part nearly reached my neck. I came to the realization that the only person I was fooling was myself and that was stupid. I took a good look at myself in the mirror and laughed. I went to a barber shop and had the sides and the back of my head buzzed and then when home and shaved my entire head. One of the smartest thing I have ever done. Now if others have difficult with my being bald that’s their problem NOT mine.

Must say this guy is very good at prompt communication. He is interested in coming to my place for dinner and a couple of hours of play time. His rate is within the ballpark. I would still like to know if anyone out there has spent some time with him.

Did a search here but found nothing regarding this Orange County guy. Anybody have and experience or knowledge regarding him: https://rent.men/Adam_giza

Unicorn I'm not sure that I agree that a racists wouldn't have sex with some guys who represent the racial group he doesn't like. MANY years ago I spent two days, in Tampa, with a gorgeous young black guy who happened to have a body to die for. At dinner, in a nice restaurant, our first night together, he expressed surprise that I, an older white man, would be seen openly in public with him, a young black man, at a very nice restaurant. My response sent him into fits of laughter. I simply stated that if I was willing to suck his cock in private the least I could do is be seen publicly with him in a nice restaurant. He went on to explain that he had been hired by a number of very racist white men who wanted a master/slave scenario. To say I went ballistic is putting it mildly. He actually seemed surprised by my response. Damn he was a gorgeous kid who was wonderful in bed. I only hope he has had a successful life and is happy -- he sure as hell made me happy.

From much of the conversation here we may surmise that because of his accent he is NOT likely American, Canadian or Australian yet he is cut. That most likely would make him Jewish or Muslim. Why, may I ask, is it important to know his exact national origin and religion? I certainly wouldn't expect to go to a church, a temple or a mosque with him.

In reality the answer here is simple. In a perfect world, one in which we do not live, things such as race, age and size should be irrelevant BUT they aren't always. I, for example, ALWAYS disclose my age, soon to be 80, as I would prefer to have the escort I'm interested in cease texting or emailing me upon learning my age rather than having him slam the door in my face when I arrive at his place. I find the idea of rejection through texting and emailing much preferable to in my face rejection. I've been hiring now for over eighteen years and to my recollection only one potential hire discontinued communication with me once I told him my age. Now from the other side of the hiring duo, the vast majority of us who hire have our own preferences (prejudices). I will readily admit that I'm a body fascist. I mostly hire guys with bodybuilder or gymnast type bodies. With that said I've hired Black guys, Asian guys, Hispanic guys, Older guys, and Caucasian guys with the body types that appeal to me. I, however, have not hired any of the above type of guys who sport twink bodies. I taught high school for thirty plus years and I want to have sex with MEN not boys. Is that a preference or am I prejudice - WHATEVER - that's me.

The only problem with some of the very specialized forums is that most participants here don't read them. Frankly I like this thread here or possibly in the Lounge. Most of us read these two forums.

No I'm not but it does sound sexy as hell!

I just might be the only one around here old enough to remember when movie theaters offered double features, each about 60 to 90 minutes long. Between the two features cartoons and movie serials were shown. One of the serials was Flash Gordon starring Buster Crabbe. He had been a star swimmer in college at USC and won the 400 meters freestyle gold metal at the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. I was just a kid but I got an instant hand-on watching him during those short features.

Damn does this thread bring back memories of my teen years -- I turned 10 in 1950. My mother's family, though not LDS, was from central Utah (Springville, Provo, and Spanish Fork). My dad's family though originally from Slovenia settled in Rock Springs, Wyoming. EVERY summer we would drive from L.A. to Utah to visit my mother's siblings and then on to Rock Springs to visit my dad's parents and brother. We would leave on Friday after my dad go off work and drive to the top of the Cajon Pass where he would pull off to the side of the road and get a couple of hours of sleep -- not pleasant. Early Saturday morning we would continue through Las Vegas and then on to central Utah. In those days ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING in Utah was closed on Sunday. Dad would always be very careful to buy gas late Saturday because it wasn't available on Sunday's. Utah wasn't dry but alcohol certainly couldn't be purchased on Sundays along with anything else. All forms of alcohol had to be purchased at state owned stores. Dad was a heavy beer drinker and he always made a point to buy a couple six-packs immediately upon arriving at my aunts to tide him over until Monday. On one occasion we were driving from Spanish Fork, Utah to visit another aunt in Wolf Point, Montana. We stopped, to spend the night, at a motel in the middle of the Crow Indian (Native American) Reservation where to my dad’s horror he was informed that no alcohol was sold on the reservation. Dad and I got in the car and he drove back 50 miles to the first town off the reservation to buy his beer, we then drove back the same 50 miles to our motel. Now Wyoming, on the other hand, was one of the last vestiges of the rip roaring wild-west. Alcohol damn near flowed in the streets. And you could buy alcohol just about anywhere anytime. My mother loved sage hens, a type of native chicken like bird. On our first morning in Rock Springs my aunt would get up early, go out of town to her small ranch, saddle her horse and go out and shoot, with her shotgun, a dozen or more sage hens. Upon returning to town she and my mother would clean and pluck the birds and we would have them for dinner. At that time in Wyoming people refused to use paper one dollar bills – it was silver dollar country. Each year my uncle would give one or two silver dollars to take home. I imagine I still have a couple of them somewhere. VERY GOOD MEMORIES

Gar1eth my mother used to make wonderful dill pickles. She would arrange with a local vegetable stall to have small cucumbers field picked early in the morning. We would pick three or four lugs up from the stall around 9 in the morning. When we got home it was my job to wash them while my mother prepared the pickling liquid. She would pack the jars with the cucumbers and a fresh dill head. She added a small lump of alum supposedly to keep them crisp. She then fill the Kerr or Mason jars with the hot liquid and sealed them. She didn't even bother to water bath them. Now my success rate at making these pickles has been awful. They have always come out soft and mushy - in fact I've given up trying to make them which is partially why I have turned to pickling beet which I love.

Gar1eth I do quite a bit of canning. If your mom used vinegar in the pickling (likely) there was no danger of botulism developing. I frequently pickle beets and they are also not a problem because of the use of vinegar.. Jam and jellies may also be preserved without concern for botulism because of the acid in the fruits. Where the problem arises concerning botulism is in low acid vegetables ie. string beans, corn, and even some tomatoes.

Sorry Azdr1710 but it will be a VERY cold day in hell when I eat an In-N-Out "protein" burger. I always order a three way animal style and if I can't have it that way I would rather do without.

Here is another summer salad that I grew up with which is easy and very nice. 1 medium cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings 2 medium tomatoes, sliced (preferably vine ripened) several garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped fresh dill, chopped Layer the cucumber, red onion rings and sliced tomatoes sprinkling each layer with some of the finely chopped garlic and dill. Pour over the vegetables a simple vinaigrette and refrigerate for a couple of hour prior to serving. On Thursday I will be serving this salad along with sloppy Joe's and potato chips. Two of my very best friends come over every Thursday evening for dinner. We sit at the opposite ends of my patio and I place the food on a card table in between us.

Unfortunately Purplekow I haven't a clue when my family started eating kosher salami. Why do you ask?

I grew up in a predominately Jewish neighborhood of Los Angeles. Many of the products my mother used in cooking were kosher simply because they were readily available. My dad who had been born in Slovenia absolutely loved kosher salami. Most of my playmates were Jewish and by simple exposure I learned to use numerous Yiddish words and expressions. Year later when I started teaching my school was located in an area where many Jewish doctors and their families lived. One day one of my students asked me if I was Jewish. When I asked why he asked he explained that I used a lot of Yiddish words and expressions in the classroom. I had never realized that I used them. Interestingly enough I still do. I’m not much on iceberg lettuce except in hard shelled tacos. I tend to eat lots of salads but usually with red and green leaf lettuce and romaine. I also love spinach salads. I frequently call my salads “garbage salads” because I slice up and throw in any vegetable I have on hand. I make from scratch all of my own salad dressings. Fresh salad dressing are so much better than bottled ones.

I've been hiring now for twenty years and over those years I have, on numerous occasions, stated that I'm very much into bodybuilder types. However, with that stated I've also lost patience with guys who post multiple photographs without a single cock shot, claim they are versatile yet don't state one activity in which they are willing to participate. If an escort wants me to buy then he needs to show me the goods and tell me just what the fuck he is willing to do.

Would also be extremely interested in any available information about this guy. I'm a paying member of rentmen yet this guys telephone number is unavailable. I wonder if he is still active.

Purplekow I truly envy you getting together with Rick Hammersmith. I tried numerous times to arrange a meeting but our schedules were always at adds. My loss I'm sure.

RealAvalon if I'm correct 28c translates to 82.4f. Here is Southern California during the summer heat 82.4 would be considered a delightfully cool summer day. Last week it was 35c and it's is most definitely going to get hotter than that as we move into August and September.

Hands down nobody really even comes close -- Todd L.A. Sexually he reminded me of a rambunctious puppy. I can still see him standing naked at the other side of by bedroom. Suddenly he would make a running dive on to my bed. Once on the bed his first comment was always “god I love sex with a man”. He was a semi successful actor and thus didn’t want to meet in public in his own neighborhood. He always drove to my place. I would prepare an overly large dinner and send him home with the leftovers. He had a very handsome face, a chiseled body and a beautiful cock. I vividly remember one time when he was sucking me off – I was just about to cum and warned him. He paused for a moment and then stated “so cum” which I proceeded to do in his mouth. From that point on we always came in each other’s mouths. We got together every other month for two plus years. He found a partner and stopped escorting. His partner’s gain and definitely my loss. He is the only escort I’ve ever meet that I can honestly say that had I been thirty years younger I would have made a definite play for him. At the time he was thirty and I was sixty – too many years difference. Sorry if this overly long commentary resembles a review BUT damn I do miss him and I haven's seen him in eighteen years.

Even though I find him highly appealing I have to agree with wklukas. He doesn't list anal, kissing, or oral as things he is into. Does he really think those omissions will lead to an great escorting career?

Nice face and great body, however, he doesn't include kissing and oral as things he is into. Unfortunately both omissions are deal breakers for me.
