You are a smart man.

Not to be the Unicorn in the room, but I feel a song coming on…. ”Regrets, I’ve had a few…"

That’s not 100% correct. The virus (Varicella zoster virus "VZV") that causes shingles is the same virus that causes chicken pox. If you get chicken pox as a kid the virus continues to "live" in your nerves forever. Most of the time the body keeps the virus "in check" and you are without symptoms. Every now and then, usually when your immune system is weakened (e.g. aging), the virus will escape and you’ll experience the flair as "shingles". During the shingles "flair" the virus is extremely contagious. It’s just that the vast majority of adults around you are immune (either from having chick pox as a child or having received the chick pox vaccine). Someone who has had neither chicken pox nor the vaccine, could contract the virus from someone with shingles. Also, people who are severely immunocompromised (e.g. end stage HIV) are at risk of contracting the virus (even if they had chicken and/or were vaccinated) and developing symptoms. So yes, shingles is contagious. It’s just that 99% of the time it’s irrelevant. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2722564/#:~:text=Shingles is very contagious.,secretions or their skin rash. "Shingles is very contagious. You can catch chickenpox from someone with shingles through contact with their secretions or their skin rash."

As others have said, every provider is different. Some only schedule "day of", others need a week (or more) notice. Since I’m a top, I assume any escort is going to need a few hours (at a minimum) to prepare. I find 1-2 days ahead to be the “sweet spot". YMMV.

It’s certainly on my calendar and I’m booked into La Hacienda for the duration. So unless something unexpected happens, I will be there! And yes, @azdr0710 I’ve been dieting/training for the hikes!

Agreed.

One of my "life highlights"…when Joey Jordan unexpectedly rolled over in bed and offered up his ass. A truly kind and wonderful man….who is also great at sex. Also, one of the few "non-Brazilians" to make it into my "Life’s Top Ten".

We know you have. In fact, you "meet" him in the bathroom mirror every morning….don’t you?

I know we all get the reference, but it bears repeating….

Let’s be honest. Given the fact that he’s been in rehab about 15 times, one way or another drugs were involved.

And BAM, just like that….I now have a foot fetish. grin

In my experience, just picked the photo you are least attracted to…the guy who shows up looks slightly worse than that.

Because Hope Springs eternal.

Oh, crap! Last year, I think I accidentally "partied". I didn’t know I was supposed to "eventing". Next year I’ll bring my "formal" swimsuit to the "Event" grin

I sure as fuck know what I would have done.....had a much better time!

Y-e-a-h….it’s in Jersey….pass. grin

Or at least kill it first.

The priests at Saint Patrick’s in NYC make the best Martini’s. Trust me.

Now go home. grin

I know exactly the feeling you’re describing. It sucks. And that’s exactly the feeling that Con-artists are looking to exploit. You trusted your instincts. There is nothing wrong with that. And if that hurts someone’s feelings who can’t understand that, so be it. In the long run, my gut has saved me 100 times more than my heart, head or penis ever did.

You are more correct than I. The Arconia of Only Murders in the Building fame is a fictional building. It is based on the real life Ansonia, home of the Continental Baths. However, the actual building they are using is The Belnord, home of Zero Mostel and Lee Strasberg. Now you REALLY know….grin
