I subscribe to the paper edition of the Wall Street Journal. It works for me because: 1. Paper newspapers help keep me from being addicted to a screen all day. I read the paper during lunch, and then the rest of the day I don't think about the news or money matters. 2. Besides having information and articles about companies that interest me, I can skim the headlines and perhaps learn something about a company I otherwise wouldn't have followed. I'm not subject to computer algorithms which would keep feeding me more articles like the ones I've already read.

I agree 💯. The ONLY place a tip jar is acceptable is for a piano player at a bar or lounge or street musicians, whose hands are otherwise occupied and cannot stop to accept a tip. Bartenders, cocktail waitress, taxi and shuttle drivers, and fast food cashiers do not need tip jars. If I really wanted to give them a tip, their hands are free to accept it while I'm paying them for my service. But a tip request for guests at a private event is especially offensive. It's right up there with inviting someone to your house for dinner, then asking them to pay for half of the groceries after they arrive.

Thanks for sharing this! This is why I love this forum; because I learn useful life lessons like this one. Next open bar, I'm remembering this.

The biggest deterrent to my hiring is inflation, not monkeypox. I'm avoiding bathhouses and group sex parties because of monkeypox. But I'm avoiding escorts and massages because of high increases in prices

Full body condoms

No, I want the gay answer, please 😃

Where else is available for a straight man to advertise? I mean as an independent escort, not part of an agency such as Cowboys4Angels.

The size of the Middle Class has indeed shrunk since the 1980s. But the size of the Lower Class and Lower Middle Class have stayed the same. Where did all those Middle Class people go? They became Upper Middle Class. In the 1950s to 1980s, we saw a shrinking Lower Class and growing Middle Class as low skilled employees' wages rose. From the 1980s to today, we saw Middle Class income rise to Upper Middle Class with the increased incomes of highly skilled citizens. We may feel like we can't keep up with the Joneses as we watch more and more people around us buy more luxurious cars; bigger homes with central air conditioning, multiple bathrooms and garages; vacation homes; smart telephones; and, computers. All these things were impossible for the Middle Class a generation ago.

The public health agency in Las Vegas started administering Monkey Pox vaccines this week Monday. I walked in today and received my first dose with less than five minute wait. They told me to come back in four weeks for my second dose, no appointment needed. While I was there, a steady stream of 18 men and 2 women came to be vaccinated. No one was turned away.

Yes, I always thank my driver on both public (bus) and private transit (taxi, shuttle bus, or even a friend who drives). The only time I don't is on a train or airplane, only because I don't usually see the engineer or pilot. I do, however, thank the flight steward or stewardess.

Thank you, as always, for giving us a Provider's point of view in the "Ask the Provider" forum

I was 31 when a 30 year old called me "daddy". I, too, was mortified when it happened. But I embraced it before I even turned 32

I've been subscribing to the Wall Street Journal print edition for a few years. That's has helped me a lot. I don't have the will power/interest to read entire books on the subject. But I can get through skimming the articles on my lunch break. Each year, more and more of the articles start making sense to me, as I learn the lingo and read about proposed tax changes and 401k rule changes as they are proposed by Congress. I also used to DVR the Suze Orman show and watch it every week with my housemates. Her show was great, but I haven't been able to find full episodes online.

Thanks!

#MeToo. I keep asking my doctor to have gay sex with me, but he keeps saying no. 😢

My telephone let's my "Mark as spam", which blocks the number and alerts my carrier to investigate

Assuming it is true, then it is better he is truthful in advertisement than have customers be surprised and potentially disappointed when they meet him in person. If his body is spectacular and his rates are reasonable, I could hire and enjoy a man with a four-inch penis.

I'm avoiding bathhouses/saunas/spas until either I get the monkey pox vaccines or until the outbreaks stop. That means no massages in bathhouses for me at the moment. But I'm still getting massages at my home or the provider's home or office.

I've been to Haulover many times. It's a great nude beach. But since I always stay at a hotel for gay men in Fort Lauderdale with a clothing optional pool, I now just choose to sun naked at the pool and avoid the hassle of the drive and parking and sand.

I'm thinking of hiring an escort for $500/hr, if he can come with a bag of groceries. Then it would be a bargain!

I just gave it a try, and I already like it. I especially like that it displays prices. Too bad the selection of male to male providers listed is very limited in my location right now. I've bookmarked the site to use when I'm traveling to other locations

Stock and Campus Keep in mind that they used to have two shifts of dancers, an early shift and a late shift. So if you don't find your type in one before 9pm, stop back in again after 10pm to see if there's more appealing talent

Real estate prices are at a high, stock prices are at a low. I'd be unloading real estate to buy stocks right now, not the other way around. But if it were a buyer's market for real estate, then I support your plan to partially finance the real estate purchase through your margin loan instead of a mortgage, given your circumstances and risk tolerance.

I'm retiring in 6 years, and my plan is to actually "upsize" to a more expensive property and increase my standard of living and travel more. I have been saving 30%-50% of my paycheck since I was 18, and invested aggressively in Roth IRAs/Roth 457/and other tax advantages accounts. My financial forecast shows my take home pay will significantly increase in retirement compared to now, simply because I won't be contributing as much to investments and will be in a lower tax bracket thanks to the Roth tax-free withdrawals.

Health District in Las Vegas offers the vaccine to anyone who has come in contact with a positive person. More doses are on the way, but priory is being given to cities in North America with larger outbreaks, such as Montreal, New York, and Chicago.
