Hey BabyBoomer thanks for the reminder that I made my original contact with Alex through the rentmen email service. I'm obviously getting senile as I was convinced that I had contacted him directly.

I contacted him by text prior to Christmas and we had an excellent exchange regarding getting together when, at some point, during 2019 he visits Southern California. When I went to wish him a Happy New Year I realized I had misplaced his telephone number. When I went to his rentman ad to retrieve his number it was no longer available. I assume his ad had lapsed. I guess I will have to wait until he brings his ad up to date or contacts me. Just by chance to anyone around here have his number that they might be willing to PM me.

OK all you guys planning on attending the Palm Springs Weekend and even those of you who are seriously considering attending I have a question. My role during these weekends has long been to act as Oliver's "chief bottle washer and cook". That is just fine with me as I greatly enjoy cooking. Last year, prior to the weekend, Latbear4blk requested that I consider preparing empanadas for the Sunday Pool Party. I liked the idea and did so. NOW FINALLY the question. Do any of you have a special request that you might like to have me prepare for our gathering?

Hey E.T.Bass, glad to hear you were able to find a place to stay even if it requires the moving from one resort to another. Believe me when I say it will a lot warmer in Palm Springs in mid April than it is now. We are having a "major" COLD spell here in Southern California right now. The day before yesterday it was 37 when I went to have coffee at 6 a.m. Now I know that sounds like warm winter weather for you cold climate folks BUT here it seldom get that cold and we all act like we are dying.

All of you who have never attended PLEASE make the effort to do so this year. It's great fun and a very welcoming group. If possible try to make all thee events. If that isn't possible then make as many as you can. I always looking forward to meeting and making new friends as well a seeing old friends. I'm already well along on planning the menu for the Sunday afternoon pool party.

I most definitely second kaboom35's recommendation of Meatball Mike (https://rentmen.eu/Meatball_Mike). His nom de porn would lead one to believe that he is something of a dolt which he MOST definitely is not. He is much better looking than his photos. I'm looking forward to another get together with him.

Got back to me a couple of hours ago. Apologized for not answering sooner explaining that he was off line spending Christmas with his family. Comes across as a very nice guy. Unfortunately he is NOT into kissing and thus is not a fit for me. He seemed to indicate that he would kiss for an extra fee. That idea doesn't appeal to me in the least as I expect uninhibited voluntary kissing.

I just send him a text asking about kissing. If he is into it he is a great find for me. His telephone number indicates Orange County, Southern California which is fortunately home for me as well.

WilliamM you are absolutely correct two days is definitely not enough to make a through visit to St. Petersburg. The problem is that I'm joining a friend on an Oceania Baltic Cruise and two days is all the itinerary includes. Because of the lack of time I have had to make some difficult choices. Barthooome Rastrelli was the principal designer of both the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg and Catherine’s Palace in Tsarskoe Selo thus I have decided to visit only one of the two. I would have chosen Catherine’s Palace if the, nearby, Alexander Palace, final palatial home of Nicholas II, Alexandra and their children, was open but it is closed for restoration until 2020. Therefore I will visit the Winter Palace which, additionally, is well located to visit the gallery containing the French Impressionist Collection which my travel companion would like to see. I am also scheduled to visit the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood and the Yusupov Palace. Outside of St. Petersburg I will visit the Orienbaum Palace and Peterhof. I am a Christmas nut and collect hand carved Santa Clauses so I am hoping to spend some time shopping for Russian ones. A number of years ago I wrote ballet reviews for on online web site. During that period I was fortunate to see the Maiiniski Ballet Company on numerous occasions. Thus I do not play to try to see a performance while in town although a quick visit to the theatre might be nice. This visit will most definitely be a case of too much to see in too little time.

He answered my rentmen email with 24 hours and comes across as an extremely nice guy. He mentioned that he is planning to visit Southern California sometime during 2019. If we can work out our schedules I will DEFINITELY be getting together with him for lunch or dinner plus a couple of hours of play time. He is one of the VERY FEW guy I will break open the piggy bank in order to meet.

His rentmen ad doesn't provide a contact telephone number. Does anybody have one or must we email him through rentmen?

OK SuperJunior here is my two cents regarding Ace and Tyler Saint: 1. TruthBTold is absolutely correct they are both great guys -- couldn't possibly be nicer. 2. Mike Carey is also correct they are a married couple and only escort together. 3. The last time they came out for the Palm Springs weekend I hired them for breakfast and an extended get together. 4. They are hot, Hot, HOT. The were ready and willing to participate in just about anything. My only concern was that they were so hot they might set the bed and room on fire. Definitely one of my all time greatest escort experiences. 5. There is an excellent chance that they will be attending the Palm Springs Weekend again this year and knowing that I have already made an appointment with them to get together again. 6. FINALLY if you ever have the opportunity to get together with these two outstanding men DO SO.

Best wishes on your birthday. Here's hoping to meet you at the 2019 Palm Springs Weekend.

This fall I will be taking an Oceania Cruise of the Baltic. One of my main reasons for going is the two days the ship will spend in Saint Petersburg. If you decide on Saints Petersburg you might want to consider using the following travel agency: https://www.denrus.ru/. I have numerous friends who have used their service and ALL were extremely pleased. If you take a private tour they will provide visas, car, driver, and guide. Cost will depend on the number of people in your party. If you are traveling alone they also have group tours. I have VERY specific places I want to visit several of which are not on the usual tourist route. They have been more than happy to work with me developing a two day itinerary which meets my requirements.

He will most definitely be missed by all of us who knew him. He was always a joy to be around. It's great to know that his last journey was not a difficult one. Thanks Jordan and we will most definitely all raises our glasses to toast him at our Saturday evening dinner during the Palm Springs Weekend.

WilliamM I am neither stupid nor illiterate thus I definitely understand why the reviews today aren't as explicit as they once were. But my point is that as they are now they are absolutely worthless. Who really cares that some quasi reviewer had a lovely time with a lovely escort who looked exactly like his lovely photograph -- what nonsense Why even have them? Yes the political forum was raucous but politics in this country is and always has been, since the birth of the nation, a blood sport. People obviously enjoyed it so why try to make a tea party out of it. If the administration wants a tea party all they have to do is send posters down to their local senior centers where they can join conversations about their aches and pains, and their bowel movements. Further more these ever increasing closures of the site have become all too frequent and a pain in the ass. If FOSTA/SESTA have castrated this site then, to my way of thinking, it just might be the time to seriously consider closing it all down . Maybe it is time for us all to move on.

When I recently read Guy Fawkes’ post “The Message Forum Will Be Going Down On Saturday” I initially assumed the forum would be down for just a day but later came to realize that he was talking about the entire month of December. This post got me to thinking about how this site has evolved over the fifteen years during which I have been an active participant (I joined on 12/05/03). In those early days Hooboy was operating the site and there was something of a “wild west” aspect about the place. Some of posters at that time posted with virtually no holds barred and people with thin skins didn’t last long. Over the last three years not only have I continued to post here but I have become a financial supporter of the site. Early on, half a dozen plus reviews were posted on a daily (seven days a week) basis and many of those reviews were explicit to say the least. Currently two or three anemic reviews (Had a lovely time, with a lovely escort who looked just like his lovely photographs.) appear Monday through Friday with somewhat frequent hiatuses for various reasons. The Political Forum was a virtual free for all. Over the years, because of various reasons, I have chosen not to participate in that forum BUT it was always an important part of this site for many posters – it no longer exists. This site spawned both the Palm Springs Weekend and the DC Luncheon. Now with DC Luncheon rapidly approaching, those with questions or comments are left without a source of information. I have been a VERY active participant in the Palm Springs Weekend, from near its inception, but am beginning to wonder how much longer it will be able to continue. What happens if the site closes down “temporarily” at a critical point in its planning? What happens if some continue to criticize these functions as frivolous and trite? On top of the above the fear and self/site censorship created by SESTA/FOSTA must be taken into consideration. I certainly realize that evolution is a natural process and change is inevitable. The saber-toothed tiger outlived its time so possibly has this site. Even for an atheist like me the first three lines of Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 comes to mind: “To everything there is a season And a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die" Maybe just maybe it is time for this site to die

Being the age I am (78) I really find it hard to believe that I'm saying the following - On certain guys I actually find Prince Albert's sexy as hell. I think a P.A. would look great on Kurtis Wolfe. - actually I think just about anything or nothing would look great on Wolfe

Hey Azdr0710 I love the idea of putting some money in a card and mailing it. The problem for me is that I am rapidly approaching senility and would likely forget to do it. Thus, I just have so much a month taken directly from my bank account and transferred to Daddy's

Hi MikeBiDude, why would I possibly mind. Thank you for being so kind as to research its location and to post it. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving

Yes g56whiz I did share the recipe here a couple of years ago. Plum pudding is usually steamed while the prune cake is baked. It really doesn't have to be baked in advance and it keeps for quite a long time in fact once baked it can even be froze. It is really quite simple although it does include a lot of ingredients. If anybody would like a copy feel free to PM me and I send it to you

The one thing I absolutely love about Thanksgiving is that it is a totally nonsectarian U.S. America Holiday. It doesn't make a damn bit of difference if one is Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, etc. most of us go out get a turkey and prepare all the trimmings. I find the holiday very unifying. Just yesterday, while standing in line, in the grocery store I got into a discussion with a middle aged woman from Italy about how we make our dressings. We exchanged some ideas, wished each other Happy Thanksgiving and then went on our merry ways.

I bring a prune cake which is from a very old family recipe.

Well Figureskater if you are going to start traveling after the first of the year do consider Southern California -- Orange County, Disneyland area. We could definitely share a shower plus all sorts of other fun things.

I haven't used an electric blanket in decades. I like an ice cold room with lots of wool blankets if it is really cold outside. Now being a weakling Californian really cold means the 30's and the 40's. Many people don't like the weight of heavy wool blankets but I actually like it. For some reason electric blankets always made me sweat.
