KeepItReal

Sounds like a very good deal...take it or send him my way!! 😉😉

I've been traveling extensively the past month in Central and Southern Africa. Options have been very limited. My NYC regulars keep texting me...I guess they miss me. 😋

Okay you two... @Monarchy79 @pubic_assistance...get a room!

So what's your secret to success? 🤔

Same! ☝️

If there was a "frequently asked" section here, you would find this topic at the top of the list. With no consensus. 10% will say zero tip, 10% will say 100% tip...and the rest will be somewhere in between. I choose to tip for excellent service, but apply judgment as to the size of tip - based on service, fee, experience and history with companion.

I agree with our resident bean counter! ( @Beancounter) There are income limits for a Roth IRA - you can make too much money to qualify...but there are ways around it. Most firms use a financial firm to administer their 401k - like Vanguard, Fidelity or Empower. These firms often offer free advice and you can ask to speak to an advisor about a Roth - just don't let them talk you into doing a rollover (moving money from your 401k to an IRA). If you like podcasts - the Moneygirl podcast has episodes on retirement accounts that will be an hour well spent, before you talk to an advisor.

The two sites are very different, not just the topics covered but the audience as well. Which is a good thing. Yeay diversity! 👏

That hasn't been my experience and I have floated between the two sites for years as a participating member. Guess I am just lucky! 😌 Thanks @Lucky

I can agree to that.

It is no worse over there than it is over here. Every forest has its "special" trees. If you hang around long enough, you will figure it out. Different isn't necessarily nut-job. 🤓

Previously discussed here: https://www.companyofmen.org/topic/142889-cristopherbu-rentmen-eu-ny/ You participated in discussion - why the new thread?

Aleksandr previously discussed here. Name change. I did not recommend him at the time. https://www.companyofmen.org/topic/139814-aleks-ru-in-nyc/

Are you sure? Singles behavior look contagious to me! 😆

I drown my anxiety in sugar. Have been grazing on candy every time I pass by the bowl. 😆

He's quite the mystery...I am sure you can relate. 😁 It's the price we pay for variety.

There are a bunch of comments from the past three months...how much more recent do you want?? Last night, maybe? 😆

The "haka" doesn't do much for me but the men sure do! I've been very distracted by the Rugby World Cup. Surprised that Australia fared rather poorly - historically a strong team with uber sexy men. 😉

Let us know how your trip turned out! I haven't been back in a while. Love the architecture, the gas lamp lights, the vibe and the food. Even considered painting the ceiling of my porch blue...to "keep the bad spirits away" after I learned of the practice during a past visit. 😁

I can cite numerous studies, but google it to believe your own eyes. There is a reason it is called a "dad bod".

Good looking today, but it will fade fast - check back in 5 years when he is married and sporting a beer belly. As I always say: Have a dick, don't be a dick.

Anyone know what happened to "Bodega Bro", Griffin Green? Just curious - he came up in conversation today...

Opinions. How surprising.

Actually the article is incorrect in that case - her comment about putting a finger in the bullet hole was made to Larry Craig (yes, THAT Larry Craig) as well, on the senate floor when they debated the 1994 gun control legislation. She didn't say she tried to find a pulse - she was trying to stop the bleeding and find a pulse. You can probably find the clip on YouTube. The source article: "I tried to get a pulse and put my finger through a bullet hole."

There are reasons why my two regulars enjoy spending time with me. It may be mostly about the rate I am willing to pay for their time. I am also low drama (discount requests count as drama). Never try to short change them (no discount requests). Adjust rates upwards every other year (again, no discounts). Annual Christmas bonus, even if it isn't a huge amount. Always treat them better than I would want to be treated. It is a slippery slope. I'm sure alternative arrangements can work, but I learned long ago that they don't work for me. Keep it simple stud.
