They may pay taxes but on the day the bailout for airlines was passed, United announced layoffs.

Not just efficiency but profit motive and monopoly power. One company that started making cheaper ventilator was purchased by large corporation solely to close it so it could keep out competitors that threatened it's profitability.

The other comparison to 1918 is we had a president who didn't take the pandemic seriously and didn't have or develop a national strategy. Wilson may have done some really good things with regards to progressive economic policy and try to start the League of Nations, but he was pretty horrible in every other respect include being a virulent racist.

Except straight men can have sex with random strangers without a condom and not be banned from giving blood. It's ridiculous to think HIV cannot be passed during condomless straight sex.

Justin Owen stopped doing porn? Damn, he's one of my favs.

Yes

Paid $1.79/g on Long Island a week ago. Haven't need to fill up since.

Abel Rey is the one in the suspenders in #7.

I made the guy I hired last week wash his hands and face went I got to his hotel room and I washed mine before we started anything. When I got home, I immediately washed up again.

I am supposed to go to London in August to celebrate a big birthday. I will be severely depressed if I can't go.

I saw a guy Sunday. Made sure he washed his hands and face first as did I. The view from the hotel room was as good as the view in the hotel room.

Happy Birthday. Hope you enjoy getting a year older! Lol Sorry, I couldn't resist.

What about instead of turning your phone off, you silence it completely to all notices and turn of the vibration? You should be able to leave it on without anyone knowing and those auto-messages should work. May not at times unconnected to any service. Worth a shot.

If you need distilled water in a pinch, boil filtered water or even tap water. It's basically the same thing.

Another reason Norwegian is my go-to for cruises. They are the best at customer service, hands down. I was on a Bermuda cruise stuck in the Atlantic when TS Irene passed by delaying our ability to get back to NY and causing extremely rough seas. They bent over backwards to make sure all the passengers were able to contact home at no cost and the captain was available at all times for people if they had any questions or concerns. If he wasn't in the public areas, he was giving everyone hourly updates.

There's also a guy that's not really local (about a hundred miles) but he did say he was willing to pick me up at the train station if I ever decided to come to see him. We met on one of his very rare travels to my city.

5000 miles to London and I'm doing it again except this time we are spending my entire trip together.

How do I get in on this? I love wine.

That's exactly what I meant. I never thought to ask for instructions though. Hmm, not sure if it's too late to do so now.

My first time was basically the same as yours and Gman's, later in life and with an escort. Basically, I let them guide the whole thing. Until my last hire, I had no idea if I was any good at it; but unprompted, he said I am an excellent kisser. My guess is that my intuitive nature allows me to read people's moves and respond in kind. Honestly, I'm still not sure and I'm not really sure if escorts are going to be completely honest since they are unlikely to want to hurt the prospect of a future hire.

Considering I got mine from a family friend, I definitely got my money's worth. A few years ago I bought a second one at an estate sale with 8 games mint in box for $50. If I wanted, I could probably sell the console and those games for a few hundred now.

Depending on the cutoff, I'm either a Gen X or a Gen Y, but definitely act more like a Gen Xer. My great-uncle is still alive at 102. As for technology, I have probably used everything from the 50s forward because family members took decades to upgrade their stuff. It's also probably what made me a nostalgic. That and growing up on oldies music and the Golden age of TV. I still have a turntable with 33s, 45s and 78s. About a decade ago, I bought a phonograph and records for it and one old Edison record that I have no way of hearing. I have old Polaroid cameras, adding machines, typewriters, etc. Still use my Intellivision console. I could go on and on. I was definitely born way too late lol

I am hoping my appointment next week isn't cancelled. I'm really looking forward to seeing him again.

I think it is less that I have been lucky and more that I have chosen only the most highly respected and reviewed escorts to hire. None have asked for the money upfront nor counted it before I/he left. Unless I decide to stick with that method, I know my luck will likely run out so I am more content to hire less and stick with the best of them.
