In your heart, you know the correct answer. Listen to your heart.

In this business it’s obviously tricky. Few in my "real life" know that I hire. And as far as I know, none of the people who know hire themselves. That’s one thing that makes this board so valuable. You quickly learn who to trust and who has similar tastes to your own. Although it’s not really a "referral" in the classic sense, a positive word form a trusted source here is as good as gold. After any great hire, I always try to double back and add my 2 cents to any thread I can find here on that provider. I also do the same with any crappy hires. Lukewarm hires I tend to just write it off to chemistry and move on. It’s my small contribution to the cumulative community wisdom contained in these pages. In fact, I’ve even saved myself from a bad repeat hire when I’ve forgotten I even hired someone, only to find my own negative review here…lol

Every time I’ve given someone (boyfriend, employee, escort, etc.) a "second chance", I’ve regretted it. I’ve learned to just move on. Too many fish in the sea…..

Freakishly beautiful body + frantic travel schedule to place that people with freakishly beautiful bodies never visit = TGTBT every time.

I sat next to him on a plane, in the not so distant past, for over 15 hours. He is stunningly handsome and charming. I’ve never really cared for him on stage or screen. In fact I really hated The Boy from Oz, but in person he’s pretty incredible and built like a brick house.

Just be thankful you were never "friends" with Lucian Freud…..

Indeed beautiful. If you love the Unicorn tapestries make sure to check out the ones at the Met Cloisters in NYC next time you’re in town. Obviously similar in many ways but they are distinct. It’s fun to compare and contrast. Spoiler alert, I like the NYC ones better (big surprise..lol) Unfortunately the "once in a lifetime" opportunity to compare and contrast them side-by-side in 2020 never materialized. The show was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. A display of medieval art thwarted by a plague? The irony was lost on no one.

I was never a huge fan. His art feels gimmicky to me. But I grew to appreciate it more over time. There’s no denying his popularity. RIP

I don’t mean to be rude, but what exactly is causing you guys to go so gaga over this one? The ad I’m looking at has virtually no information and one generic (although admittedly nice) torso pic. What am I missing? Did the ad change?

And thats exactly what you got….. Everything else was just my personal experience and advice. It wasn’t meant to be a lecture. I could care less whether or not you do steroids Sometimes on the internet you get more (or less) than you ask for. It’s best to have thick skin. Best of luck.

Oral steroids are a horrible idea. If you’re going to do steroids, do steroids…and inject them. In my early 30’s, I seriously considered doing steroids. Thankfully, my trainer at the time was smarter than me. He said "let’s do everything we can with a clean diet and heavy lifting. If you commit to that 100% and you’re still not happy with the results, then we’ll talk about adding steroids to the routine. After all, if you can’t manage committing to a clean diet and heavy lifting, steroids aren’t going to do much for you anyways". In the end, I was happy with the results of a clean dirt and heavy lifting, and thus never tried them. "Face it. If it came in a bottle, everyone would have a great body" - Cher.

He murders the victim. Video tapes the crime scene on his phone. Crates up the victim’s valuables and ships them to himself. Drives up to the Police Wellness Check (that he requested….twice!) driving the victim’s truck Uses the victim’s keys to enter the house in front of the police. and he transferred over $30,000 from the victim’s bank account into his own, after the victim was dead. The kid is a fucking moron.

https://rent.men/callmehabibi I read that name as "Camel Alibaba". Jesus, even my dyslexia is slightly racist!

That’s a long way from….. It would be better to say "no other statin has been proven to have this benefit (because they weren’t included in the study)". Given the history of statins and how similar they are, I’d be shocked if they don’t all show this benefit. And given the history of pitavastatin, I’d put big money on some of them turning out to be even better than pitavastatin. I can’t see behind the NYTimes paywall, but I assume they’re talking about this recent article in the New England Journal of Medicine: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2304146 Look at who sponsored the study. From the above NEJM article: "Supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health, Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Gilead Sciences, and ViiV Healthcare." From the Pitavastatin Wikipedia page: "Kowa Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Kowa Company, is the owner of the American patent to pitavastatin." I’m surprised the NEJM even published this, but I assume they thought the concept was important despite the obvious bias.

Working on reservations…. Is David’s Pool party usually on Friday?

I love the sheets at The Wynn: https://www.wynnathome.com/collections/wynn-resort-bedding Not cheap, but not crazy, crazy. I also love the sheets at the Adlon in Berlin, but getting them custom made to fit an American bed….was crazy, crazy. Funny story. I had a really fun time fucking a young man in Vegas at the Wynn. Afterwards we were making small talk and I mentioned there was a straight man back home whom I was desperately trying to fuck. He replied, "you need to get better sheets. Make him feel special. I let you fuck me tonight because I wanted to sleep in these sheets." PS it worked.

Too god damned funny. I mean, if @Coolwave35 isn’t "good enough"…what chance do us regular Johns have?

Looks like he throws an impressive brunch. It’s not much, but it’s a good start!

I loathe self check out. Thankfully, the local "fancy" grocery store doesn’t have it. The shitty mass market store does…but I’m usually only there to grab the occasional item I can’t get at the fancy store, so I grin and bear it.

I LOVE her!

He really needs to learn how to take more flattering (as opposed to flattening) ass pics. With a torso like that, he’s bound to have a better ass than he’s showing in those pics.

That’s a really early Joe D'alessandro (I’m guessing in his pre-Warhol, LA hustler phase),

I once had a dinner guest become visibly distraught when she saw my bare hand literally brush against a leaf of lettuce in the salad I was preparing. I made a point of tossing the entire salad by hand the next time she came over. As long as you wash your hands first, it’s not a big deal. I mean come on…you’ve put much worse things in your mouth. In general however, I use wooden bear claws to toss my salad. Only because I don’t want salad dressing in my hands. Not because of an irrational fear of germs.
