Love the show. Would especially love to find myself face to crotch with Amos; something I think he would be up for

It's my favorite SciFi show to date. Legion is good too.

Thank you - looks like I have plans for tomorrow! :-)

I'm not familiar with it. Here is more info

The Expanse is terrific, as long as you pay attention. It's the kind of television that requires your attention. The first two seasons were based on the Corey's Leviathan Wakes. I have really enjoyed it an anxiously await every new episode.

It is more on the line of Battlestar Galactica and less of Star Trek. A more realistic sci fi, which I prefer.

Everyone wants a raise once in a while, I suppose...

Well, THAT brings back memories! I distinctly remember seeing this movie years ago when I was a youngster. Before my first trip to a gay bar... One of the first movie that showed real intimacy between two guys, so it really resonated with me, the journey they had to go through and how it is easier for some and harder for others. Quite a diverse cast too, which appreciate. Had a decent soundtrack if memory serves. I have it on DVD, will find time to watch it the coming weekend. Thank you for the reminder and the trip down memory lane!!

That has more to do with Anazon’s And Netflix’s licensing to stream copyrighted material outside the US.  
If you were outside the US attempting to stream through a US node if VPNU you would probably be able to stream.
 
The whole idea of the Virtual Private Network is the other end of you connection thinks you are in the city of the VPN node. The data between your node and your device is encrypted.

I use VPN Unlimited. A few years ago, I purchased an unlimited account for about $125. I used it as long as I could to watch local MLB games - you may not know that the LA Dodgers sold out to TimeWarnerCable now Spectrum. If you don't subscribe to TWC/Spectrum you can't watch the Dodgers, so for a while I could just sign into the VPN Unlimited VPN in San Francisco and watch local games. That has gone away because MLB now requires Location of the device to watch.
 
But the good news is that now I can set up the VPN, logging in anywhere in the world, and all the data is encrypted from my computer to the VPN node and back. So go ahead local internet provider try to read the encrypted data transmitting through your local access point - waste all the time you want, it's 128 bit encrypted data transmission.

I'm thinking the increased law-enforcement focus onto the escort market may have sparked a migration of those seeking intimacy towards the massage market. If that is the case, I can understand masseurs increasing rates to compensate for the additional "work" and the risk associated with it.

Yes exactly my thought. I relied on Craigslist for cheap unknown masssage gems, especially in smaller markets. Those days are gone. Same demand fewer filling stations!

I like to think that Leah was truly ‘questioning’ at the end of the movie...

Oh, you kids with your Internet. I still mail my discs into Netflix.

We did, but we had trouble sending the electric shock to the keyboard when they didn't comply. Same with omitting the link.
 
But seriously...your post should be pinned to the top of the "Deli" and "Spa."

Your timing is excellent, spring weather has finally arrived in NYC!

About two years ago I went to the doctor complaining about a sore shoulder. Doctor told me it was from sleeping on my side and my shoulder digging into the mattress. Gave my some mild muscle relaxers but suggested I try a more holistic approach - try a massage, she said. After a few days I scheduled my very first massage appointment with Ryan. Nice guy, certainly better looking than I could have hoped for, was a few years younger and more muscled, but I played it cool and we talked about my shoulder and he was very professional about it.
 
As I had arrived freshly showered, he asked me to disrobe and get on the table. He got started and we talked while he worked. Just random banter, we didn't really have that much in common. I'm not really shy - but have found that most people have more of a sense of modesty than I have. So I was surprised when I realized, after a few minutes, that he was naked as well. I was also pleasantly surprised by how much time he spent working on other parts of my body, not just those affected by my shoulder issues. (By that I mean my butt cheeks, clear?) When he asked me to turn over, after a very nice technical massage, I was further surprised to see how excited he was. And as he worked his way up from my legs to my groin, well, let's just say the excitement was mutual. Then there was the eye contact and the playful smiles... It was a truly awesome happy ending and he was very open to me indulging my urge to touch him as he worked up to it.
 
When my legs recovered from a case of the rubbers, I got in the shower to rinse off. Guess who joined me to wash my back!!! Yup - best massage ever!

That's consistent with the price.
