I remember when I was a boy being told the plural of French words like chateau and bureau could be "x" - chateaux, bureaux.

On the radio someone was saying that "military brat" only refers to the children of officers and not to those of the enlisted.

I know there are some here of a military background; maybe they can confirm that?

My apologies. I fixed the subject line.

I'm enjoying the reboot of "Deal or No Deal". But rather than female models holding the cases I wish it were male ones.

I like to fantasize that they were Belami models!

Escorts are sexual pros. But I'm wondering whether a client has introduced you to something sexual that you were not aware of?

I'm one of those who believed that the new century began in the year 2001 and not 2000 because there was no year zero.

And now in 2019 a person born in 2001 will be of legal age 18.

I understand there are no restrooms for those standing in Times Square wanting to watch the Ball drop. People are waiting for many hours.

Glad to be back! I've missed you all.

Yes: “consensual, ethical, and responsible non-monogamy" best desribes the relationship I have been involved in for the past 16 years (and counting). I had no clue that my partner and I are both polyamorous. It sounds cool, and certainly better than plain sluts

When it comes to relationships one size does not fit all.

I'm not really familiar with him.

Peter was the clothed model in the painting

You'd be creating a tax on the owners of that painting that had vision to buy it before the artist got famous.

 

You sound like a liberal with this new regulation...

Just sharing the profits from each new sale; maybe 10%; no taxes involved.

A person buys a painting for $100,000. $90,000 goes to the seller and $10,000 to the artist.

From what I've heard on the radio money is more important than giving items so the needs can be more closely met.

Why changing the law?

 

Would like to change it also for houses and everything else. Once you sale X for X what would make you entitled to more money if the price changes 40 years later? Where does it end?

 

.

Just for art. I don't believe in government financing of the arts. But I think this might encourage artists. The old joke goes an artist can't be famous until after they're dead.and stories about starving artists.

That's one of the storylines on the CBS series "S.W.A.T". It's m/f/f.

Such tragedies with fires and hurricanes.

Many years ago I was under mandatory evacuation because of possible flooding. I went to my father's. His place was just past the evacuation boundary. I was there for several days. My step-mother went to stay with one of her children. Once we tried to drive back into town but the police were blocking the road.

Thankfully the flood didn't happen.

In the U.S., artists aren’t entitled to royaltieswhen a piece changes hands; they profit only the first time their work sells.

That's too bad. I wonder if there has ever been an attempt to change the law?

I wonder who the models are?

For some men, not all men.

I think there are some gays regardless of the stimulation that would not be able to get aroused by a female.

In time for the holidays!

But technically if a man is able to get hard enough for the woman to ride him means he likes it right?

No. It's just an automatic physical response.

But can a woman rape a man? Or are men the only gender that can commit rape? In the news there are stories of female teachers having sex with male underage students, which is different, that may count as rape, but what about a grown man?

There was a story years ago on L&O:SVU where some women had a party and invited a male stripper. They tied him down on the bed and rode him. Stabler did not think that a male could be raped by a woman.

As the old expression says "When in Rome do as the Romans do".

My sister was 11 years older than I was. When I was a young teen she once invited me to visit for a few days. My father reminded me that I would have no control over the tv set. That was enough for me; I declined!

When I used to visit friends in southern California (10x 1988-1997) they controlled the tv set. One was Latino and everytime I entered the room he would switch the channel from a Spanish language channel to an English language one.

I have been posting in these forums for over a year. I have not resorted to personal attacks, insults and name calling. Nor have I exhibited signs of anger.

Why would someone do this? I hope more details will enlighten us.

I don't think I've ever eaten it not even as a boy.
