That’s a whole lotta heart. Seriously though, it’s a beautifully poetic sentence. Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true, You'll see it's all a show, Keep 'em laughing as you go. Just remember that the last laugh is on you!

Unfortunately for escorts, I predict the exact opposite. The market will be flooded with out of work waiters, bartenders, actors, models etc.

I don't know anything..... but God I hope he's FUN!

Oh, HELL No!

Again, thank you for posting PK. It’s always enlightening to read. I honestly don’t think most of America really understands the horrors that have happened in Tristate area. Your writing is raw and at times painful to read, but it is vitally important. People have a way of wishing away things they find uncomfortable to accept. The truth must be held up to the light of day regardless. You are a Hero. Stay strong.

No. I find it hard to judge anyone’s actions during a pandemic. It’s uncharted territory for all of us and I try to be as forgiving of “unacceptable“ behavior as I can be. Yes, it reveals many peoples true nature, but it also fogs the fuck out of the lens.

And I never understood why you never came to NYC and flipped..... Hey, a boy can dream can’t he?

There are no atheists in foxholes Done. My prayers are with you as well PK. “May whatever gods there be, guide your heart, hands, and mind during these difficult times”. And on a more personal level...Thank you for your service.

No doubt. Reading other people’s unvarnished, and often ill informed options about one’s self can be hurtful. But remember they are just that...opinions. Mostly because of your responses. Not because of the initial debate. You need to try and understand that and learn from it. One short post explaining yourself and the logic behind your RM ad would have done that nicely. The rest?....is like a child playing with a loaded gun. It’s very dangerous....especially to your “ brand”.

Breathe baby. B-R-E-A-T-H-E. ...and use paragraphs. You got that right. You‘re going to need to learn how to not overreact when you feel attacked in Med School. And you will be attacked. Daily. Trust me. We got it. We got it. We read your “brilliant“ breathless defense. Now relax. This thread certainly proves that.... We know....you’re a pharmacists. Or going to be a pharmacist. Maybe even a physician? Well, you‘ve certainly proven that point. Now, a little fatherly advice..... I admire your spirit. You obviously worked hard to put ourself through PharmD School. Congratulations. I also admire your desire to defend yourself. Just calm down a little. People stop reading after your 4th or 5th defense. State your case in one collected, brief, well edited and paragraphed post. Then move on. When you overreact, people will start poking the bear for their own amusement. See the earlier section of my post and most of this thread for proof. Don’t give them that. As for your “science”, it‘s way too early to know much of anything about this virus. And lets be honest, you’re a soon to be pharmacist, not a virologist, and certainly not a physician (despite what your previous RM ad with a stethoscope implied). Still, I agree once you’ve had it you’re most likely immune for a period of time. Then again, early in this pandemic I though asymptomatic spread was unlikely. I was wrong. I may be wrong again. You may be well educated but Science is a bitch of a lover. You’re clinging to science for your defense, and I understand that. But I think what got more people riled up was your attitude. To some you came off as a medical professional who was flippant about a pandemic that may kill millions. That‘s not a pretty look. And it has nothing to do with ‘science’ and everything to do with public perception and public relations. Work less on winning the scientific battle (which no one can win at this point because too little is really known), and focus on winning the PR battle. You‘ll have much more success and alienate far fewer potential clients.

“RuggedBro”.....and “Bridgeport”....in the same sentence? I cant stop laughing!

I doubt it. I know quiet a few people who had “flu like symptoms” in Dec and Jan with negative flu tests. In retrospect, they all thought they had early cases of undiagnosed COVID infections. Everyone of them tested COVID IgG antibody negative this week (i.e. no past COVID infections). Wishful thinking is dangerous medicine.

RIP Sweet Bird of Youth...... Heavenly Finley : No one in love is free. Or even wants to be.

Ze plane! Ze plane!

You dirty dirty social distancing dishwashing SLUT! grin

I would argue that complete isolation is nearly, if not more so, deadly that the virus itself. Then again, suicide isn’t infectious, so maybe there’s a counter argument to be made. I have mainatianed social interactions with one outside family. They come over for dinner and vice versa. Their only exposure is my house and my only exposure is them. Is there a risk? Yes. Life has risks. In this case it’s one I'm willing to take for my own personal sanity. Normally, I would be entertaining 3-4 times a week with various people. To me it’s about “risk reduction”, not some insane absolute. I also fucked men with a condom in the 80’s when I could have abstained completely. Call me a reckless rebel if you wish.

Complete with over the top camp video.....

Do we even have a surgeon general anymore? Where is C. Everett Koop when you need him?

That’s not gonna end well.......

They’re so cute when they grow up! Welcome to adult life Killian. For the record, it looks great on you.

I never drink alone. So for me it’s less.....much less.

To paraphrase someone else in this thread..... The "ideal" time....is when rent is due. ....or better yet when rent is PAST due.

If he bottomed, I might risk a pandemic. As a top? Yeah....I’m waiting for a vaccine.

Trust me....it’s not worth the effort.

One wonders why an ENT (ear-NOSE-throat) doctor wouldn’t come to the hospital to see a thrombocytopenic patient with a NOSE bleed...but I digress. PK I’m impressed that you know how to pack an anterior nose bleed. If you tell me you know how to pack a posterior one....I may be in love! Next time try Afrin nasal spray followed by intranasal tranexamic acid. https://www.jwatch.org/na45649/2017/12/08/tranexamic-acid-more-effective-nasal-packing-treatment I never thought ice packs did anything but make a mess. Glad it worked.
