I ignore members on this site that seem to "trigger" bad behavior or heated responses from me that I later regret. Honestly, their comments are meaningless to me and I enjoy this site much more without them. In my mind, it’s a win-win. The new site also allows me to easily avoid entire segments for which I don’t care. Politics and pictures are forums that hold little interest to me. I haven’t had to manually filter either one since we migrated. I’m a big fan of both functions. Your second question seems to reference a specific poster. I have no clue. Your third question….Have I removed someone from my ignore list? No, that would defeat the purpose.

Looks like their "permit" process is insane and very "regional", even within the region itself. https://www.sikkimtourism.gov.in/Public/TravellerEssentials/pap

Yeah, rentmen and masseurs are all privately retained in the Hamptons behind giant walls of privet hedge. Good luck even getting a glimpse of them, much less getting them to admit what they do for a living. I’d say your best bet is hanging out at a local gym and try to "make friends" with the dudes there. Some of the Hamptons catering business also seems to have very well stocked ponds. Go to events and be free with your cash. Better yet, have a catered party yourself! The available men will find you.

Crappy drug. Shouldn’t be used. There are much better and safer options. Tell your doctor.

So wait….he only massages my hands? grin

But don’t forget….his "confession" was only that he bought quaaludes to use consensually with women. To my knowledge, he never confessed to raping anyone. Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s guilty as hell, but I believe in the eyes of the law, he is considered "innocent". Honestly, I never thought the conviction would stand. Too much time, too many unreliable claims, too much selective crafting of the narrative, too zealous of a prosecution. AKA #MeTooTooTooTooMuch.

Drama.

Strange that 2 seconds later it looks like the AV guy gives him a wireless mic to continue. I agree the optics for the principal look bad, but the whole scene doesn’t really make much sense. Why cut the kid off if you’re just going to hand him an open mic 2 seconds later?…odd.

Welcome to Grindr. 40% fakes. 35% old pics. 24% head games. 1% worth it. Do the math.

I wouldn’t call the environment "inclusive". Nonetheless, I’ve taken several Atlantis cruises and I never had anyone treat me rudely. Body shaming and ageism is rampant everywhere, but if you really just don’t care, it’s easy to ignore and have fun. It’s no different than every other "gay party boy" event or place I been to over the years. It you want to hang out with the pretty boys and the muscle Mary’s (god only knows why you would) then you better be one yourself. No big surprise there. If being around them bothers you, I’d suggest avoiding these events in general. I was on a gay ski trip not too long ago. Loads of fun. Everyone playful and polite. One gentleman in his 70’s got seriously butt hurt that the 20 year olds in the group didn’t seem to want to ski with him. Over cocktails I asked him…."Seriously dude, when you were 20, did you want to ski with 70 year olds? The kids are polite and fun, but they’re kids. Let them be kids." I offered to ski with him the next day, and he rudely declined. I stopped trying to help and had a great ski trip.

Drama

Indeed, I was going to suggest….. https://www.christies.com/departments/Ancient-Art-Antiquities-6-1.aspx Grin

And it is still horrible.

Wow, that was a fast ride!

"Into SDM, role playing, leather and a lot more..." Forgive my ignorance….but Google was useless on this one….. SDM? Shared Decision Making? Standard Deviation of the Mean? School of Dental Medicine? Seems like odd things to be "into". I’m guessing it’s BSDM without the bondage?….but isn’t that like a BLT without the bacon?

I’m stunned you lasted that long. I didn’t make it past the one minute mark…and I was fast forwarding.

Thank you so much for sharing this. The Met attempted a similar program with its curators but it was painfully boring. The Frick’s is so much more entertaining and educational.

Pun intended?

Just a reminder, 18 companies originally placed orders for the Concorde. Including United Airlines, by the way. Only 2 companies ever took delivery. https://www.heritageconcorde.com/concorde-orders-and-options

Now there’s a young man with a strong backhand return. Keep your chin up….and you’ll go far.

What’s he going to say?…."No one wants to hire my super smooth schnitzel hole?" The illusion of demand is key to getting a price above market value.

Sigh…..there’s one at every party. Who invited her?!?! I don’t like you’re friend. grin

If you love the Frick collection, you must get to the Breuer building on Madison Ave. (formerly known as the Whitney and the Met Breuer) in NYC this summer. A large part of the Frick collection cannot be loaned out as stipulated in old man Frick’s will. As such, the paintings are never seen outside of the Frick mansion. Granted it’s an amazing collection in a beautiful building, but seeing the same El Greco, over the same fireplace, for decades, gets a little old. As luck would have it, the Frick is under construction and they have moved much of the collection’s icons into the brutalist Breuer building around the corner. I’m normally not a huge fan of the Breuer but getting to see these magnificent pieces in new modern setting is spectacular. I found new favorites as well as new appreciation for some old loves. That doesn’t happen everyday. Enjoy!
