During the 1950's here in Southern California, when I was a kid, the summers were brutal but it hasn't been hot like that for years until this current heat wave. What really blows my mind is that in those day air conditioning didn't exist but somehow we managed. I can't imagine life today without air conditioning. I went for a number of years without home heating which really wasn't a problem because it simply doesn't get that cold here. On the co0ler days I just put on a sweater. To this day I'm not fond of indoor heating as it tends to dry everything out.

I live in Northern Orange County, California where the temperature seldom goes over 90. Right now it is 113 with 12% humidity. I have a friend who lives in West Covina were it is 117 or 2 degrees hotter than Palm Springs at 115. We are total whimps here thus we are dying

From someone who uses "good time" as his "nom de porn" you'd thing he might crack a smile here or there. Even with that said I'd be more than happy to get together with him were he in my neck of the woods - definitely sexy body.

I was sixteen when my first nephew was born (my sister is nine years older) and nineteen when the second one came along. As children both prefaced my first name with uncle but from about twenty on started called in my first name only. The interesting thing is that both of their wives (who I adore) preface my first name with uncle. All of their children and grandchildren call me uncle. Using my first name has never been an issue with me. The fact is I never minded my high school students calling me by my first name. I actually enjoyed how it caused many of my "charming" colleagues to have shit-fits.

American men have always loved their baseball caps and baggy swimwear. Shoes also used to be a dead give away.

I am very fond of Southwest Native American Arts & Crafts. I have a rather large collection of Hopi, Navajo, and Zuni turquoise jewelry. I am particularly fond of rings but I do own one spectacular Zuni Cluster bolo tie with tips by Alice Quam. I wear it only when I am at Native American Galleries and shows in New Mexico and sometimes in Arizona.

This entire issue along with nudity, in general, is highly cultural and generational. In many third world countries public nursing is and has been for generations common practice. Native American women in Guatemala think nothing of exposing their breasts and nursing in public, HOWEVER, they would never ever consider the possibility of exposing their knees in public. Both men and women belonging to a equatorial tribe in Ecuador at one time went around bare chested. When the missionaries arrived they were horrified so the women now run around is pastel colored bras, silly. Prior to the arrival of the missionaries in Hawaii both men and women though nothing of going around in public totally nude. Once the missionaries arrived their, horrified, wives whipped out a garment for the women to wear which became known as a Muumuu. My sister is 86 when her two sons were infants she ALWAYS nursed them in private. If she was at home it was in her bedroom with the door closed. If she was out and about it was in a stall of a public restroom. She finds women nursing in public appalling. Standards change and this is just one example. With age I have found that it is simply too much work to get upset over these types of changes. It is far easier to simply accept them and move on. As I have said before life changes and we should change as well or check out.

My appreciation of Maggie Smith as increased as she has aged. I've never been a great fan of her very early work. One of my absolutely favorite films that she did is a little known 1972 work entitled "Love and Pain and the Whole Damn Thing" with Timothy Bottoms. I find it absolutely charming and usually watch it two or three times a year

Age isn't a hang-up of mine. If his kissing response had been different I would have then asked him about the PNP.

I knew and saw, on a regular basis, the original ToddLA and you can take my word for it this is not him. As someone else stated ToddLA retired about seven years ago. Damn I wish he hadn't because he was pure dynamite between the sheet besides being one hell of a nice guy.

Here is the answer I received regarding kissing, "Not to say it never happens, but I don't always do it. It just depends on how it feels. I understand that may be a show stopper for some." It is definitely a show stopper for me. Really too bad!!!

I find his ad and photos appealing. I just sent him a text in which I asked about his willingness to participate in french kissing (he doesn't list kissing in his "I'm Into"). If and when I get a response I post his response here.

I have spent a good portion of my adult life in Mexico. My Spanish is Mexican and I taught (Mexican) Spanish for eighteen years. The word puto has one and only one meaning in Mexican Spanish and that is FAGGOT and it is derogatory. If Mexican soccer fans chant puto, puto, puto the ONLY English translation would be faggot, faggot, faggot and that is FACT. Maricon and mariposa (butterfly) can also be translated as faggot, HOWEVER, they are less offensive.

I'm now about to repeat myself from several other posts regarding this matter. Overnight fees are a VERY individual thing with escorts. Some guy don't like them and thus charge large fees. Some guys very much like them and thus discount their fees. To my way of thinking if the issue is purely financial then the discounted fee makes sense. If an escort, for example, charges $250 an hour and $750 for an overnight, he must do three one hour appointments, in a day, to equal the $750 overnight. What is the likelihood of that happening on a regular basis - not particularly great. It might, however, be the case with an escort who travel a great deal. For the escort who simply don't want to spend several hours with a single client a high overnight fee makes perfect sense

I'm accustomed to paying between $500 and $700 for dinner and a couple of hours of play time with an escort. I can typically arrange an overnight for between $1,000 and $1,400, in other words, double the first arrangement. With that in mind I'd rather do two dinners with the additional play time rather than an overnight. For me personally the idea of paying a guy to SLEEP with me doesn't excite me in the least.

7829V in answer to your first question some do and some don't. Depending on the guys total rate I decide whether or not I am willing to meet. Many escorts discount their fee for multiple hours and some don't charge for the meal time, it simply depends on the escort. In response to your second question I have never had a problem in that area. When I'm spending the amount of time and money I am on these types of arrangements it behooves me to make damn sure there is a connection/chemistry. As I see it connection/chemistry is a two way street so I am as responsible as the escort to see that it happens. Thus far I have fortunately always found some topic that the escort and I can discuss. Also I spend a considerable amount of time vetting the escorts I'm intending to hire to make sure we can develop a connection/chemistry.

A quick question regarding Dillon. He self identifies as straight but in his "I Am Into" column in his rentmen ad he lists kissing and oral. Is he into mutual French Kissing and mutual oral?

Greetings again John444. Not knowing you I don't know how much attention you pay to the "I am into" list appearing on an escort's rentmen ads. Mr. Graves does NOT list kissing as something he is into which would be a deal breaker for me. He also indicates that he is a smoker and that would be a deal breaker for many other clients on this site.

It has taken me a while but I have finally become comfortable texting. It has become my principle means of communicating with a potential hire. I never hire an escort for one hour. I ALWAYS hire for lunch or dinner (the escort's choice) and then a couple of hours of play time. In my first text I greet the escort, note the above type of arrangement I am looking for and ask if he is interested in that type of get together. In this first text I also ask him what his rate would be for the above. If he responds positively I get down to specifics in my next (second) text. I tell him exactly what I would like to do, I tell him my age and describe myself physically and finish the text again asking him if he is OK with my personal information. If I get a second positive response then my third text sets-up a specific time and place. At this point I ask him to call me at his convenience. This system seems to work very well for me but we each must decide individually what works for us. Good luck, relax and have fun

If the intimacy rate continue to drop I might become interested.

I loved Vienna and would like, some day, to go back to Prague BUT I have no desire to ever visit Budapest again. I guess I'm just weird, I have several friends who loved Budapest and I'm aware that the whole world loves Barcelona while I on the other hand hate it.

I was in Prague in early winter and like Budapest I found it depressing. I'm sure in the spring, summer and probably fall it would be lovely. I could see potential in Prague but I intensely disliked Budapest with all its depressing 1950 style Soviet architecture.

InterestingGuy it's a lot easier than it at first appears. Yes there a lot of guy advertising in the L.A. area but unfortunately a goodly number of them are flakes. I can't tell you how many guys I have attempted to contact and have received NO response to both emails and texts. I've just sent CaribbeanPower a text and will wait to see what type of response I get if any.

Kenny fortunately my brother-in-law left my sister very financially secure. He was, all of his life, generous almost to a fault. My sister was and still is convinced that having a hosted "luncheon/party" after the memorial service would have been something he would have wanted. She even insisted on an open bar and wasn't terribly happy when my two nephews and I insisted on picking up the tab for the bar bill.
