  1. I finally came down with covid Jan 20 and two tests that day confirmed it. My doctor immediately put me on Paxlovid for the dose period and I used Sudafed and Mucinex tabs for symptoms. The next day my former neighbor died of a blood clot at age 65 while in his first week of covid and on Paxlovid. Then the next day my cousin my age died of a blood clot one month after having covid. I messaged my doctor and asked about a clot I had a year and a half ago and she assured me there should be no connection. The next morning she uregently texted me that she had spoken to the Kaiser hematologist and been made aware there was a brand new regimen: "" The hematologist reviewed your chart and said that recent expert recommendations for blood clot prevention in patients at higher risk include use of Lovenox 40 mg sq injection once daily for 2 weeks. You were previously on a higher therapeutic dose of this when you had the pulmonary embolus so I believe you know how to administer (injected under the skin on abdomen) I have called prescription in to pharmacy."" This seems to be a new regimen many people who had covid and had any clot history or risk should follow. I wish my ex neighbor and my cousin had the option and had been told and I let his lover who had covid at the death know as he had a clot history. He had to beg his doctor to take a baby aspirin during covid because of a prior clot. My doctor seems certain the Lovenox shots are critical prevention for anyone with covid and any clot history or risk. People may want to ask their doctors to check their files and covid/clot regimen updates. My copay for the 14 shots was only $12. Too many people are suddenly dying from clots after any covid, even months later it seems.
  2. Wasn't there some discussion that statins may be pulled back some for older patients for some stroke risk ? I'm on Atorvastatin 40mg and with permission of my doctor stopped for two weeks while I had covid and was taking the mini-shots of blood thinner because of a clot history. I would say after a couple weeks off I felt better and more alert, but then anyone 73 coming out of covid feels better. I started it back yesterday.
  3. for me, social media (mostly Messenger) messaging for friends; texts for business like repairmen etc or friends, email more for circle subscriptions or more business stuff I want a copy of saved. The amazing thing about email is it saves for many many years and is easy to search. But it's also an advertsing and spam PITA jungle now. I have an older friend I taught to use computers years ago and she stays stuck on email. At least she's up with that (though she swears something's "broken her computer" every few days.) She calls a lot for an hour at a time. Another newer friend has a weird fascination with the telephone too and he's an IT. I use the phone a lot on speakerphone in the car to be more productive. That's it.
  4. yes, it may be the only sex sauna in the world with bare feet and white marble floors.
  5. $18 for 1/2 hour sex with a bodybuilder at Club Tobi in Medellin (closed now) 3 years ago. Bogota is 2 or 3 times as much and less sex but there's a lot more guys.
  6. a HELL of a lot more expensive for starters. $43 to enter, $115 for any "action". funny thing is some of the guys are Brazilian. not as many as Thermas, but a few. here's the outside. the building's in the middle of Old Town. the sauna is the 2nd and 3rd US floors. 1st floor US is Migros Expresss, a WaWa-type snack bar. Next door is a gay bar and after that is Hotel Scheuble. https://www.google.com/maps/uv?pb=!1s0x479aa0a837bb9553%3A0x449c4a940dac2637!3m1!7e115!4s%2Fmaps%2Fplace%2Fparagonya%2Bsauna%2Bzurich%2F%4047.3742626%2C8.5439941%2C3a%2C75y%2C32.13h%2C90t%2Fdata%3D*213m4*211e1*213m2*211sFPQ5HRtgpiZWb3t3XWRp2A*212e0*214m2*213m1*211s0x479aa0a837bb9553%3A0x449c4a940dac2637%3Fsa%3DX!5sparagonya sauna zurich - Google Search!15sCgIgAQ&imagekey=!1e2!2sFPQ5HRtgpiZWb3t3XWRp2A&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjvhZTj_ZH2AhWkVN8KHZwjAF8Qpx96BAgPEAg
  7. These are pics I took in Paragonya 2 years ago. The main floor is a busy bar and large lounge. Upstairs are the crusing areas and rooms for sex.
  8. If someone has a Chase or Marriott card for a year I highly recommend doing the allowed card switch at Chase to the no-longer available Ritz Carlton card. Most of the usual travel protections plus $300/year "travel credit" which I always use for $300 American giftcards (not kosher but works every year), Priority Pass much more generous than anyone elses plus up to $28/person in party free food at airport restaurants, status everywhere, and only $450?/year annual fee. https://thepointsguy.com/news/ritz-carlton-credit-card/
  9. as young as Marcel started 24/7 in Prague he should be teaching, not studying.
  10. I think the joke is they don't see the little self-cam window well enough to know they're pointing too high.
  11. I had no real reaction to #1, a mild blah next day from #2, but my docs and I are still not in agreement why the day after #3 i got my first ever photo-sensitivity(no sun) and my entire face turned beet red and peeled for days. I thought it was shingles at first (had that vaccine). With covid so low and warm weather setting in I'm holding off on #4 a few more months unless there's a new variant and surge.
  12. With Kaiser I find it takes a long time to set up a video call appointment and then when they call you for it the doctor takes forever to come on. I just take a pic and email it.
  13. THE pits is when you have Gen Z friends who routinely try to Facetime or video call you. If you want to know panic wait until you get a "Incoming video call" flashup from a young hottie. As an "over 39er" I make it clear no video calls. I do consider that an invasion of privacy. My privacy to be old and unkempt. These 20-somethings don't understand that yet. What shitty luck to get old just as Facetimeing takes over. It would have been great at 20. Ever notice how all old people look like this on Facetime?
  14. except distintive rings on texts can stop you from getting fucked.
  15. I think the problem is email is taken over with ads and spam. I spend an hour a week trying to get the weeds out of mine with Unsubscribe or Spam. Unfortunately texting is also going that route fast and I already spend a decent time Blocking. Of course their computers can evade blocks or unsubsribe as fast as you can set them up. I only really feel comfortable with social media messages like FB Messenger in the US or WhatsApp. And I mark my important text numbers that aren't suitable for Messenger with a distinctive "Ring" so I know it's a close friend or tenant. On my texts it's a boy screaming "Message!". Everything else is a low chime. Distinctive "rings" help a lot. But with friends I mostly use FB Messenger.
  16. Amy Vanderbilt's awol on this but I think the very courteous thing now is to text or message and ask "Can I call now?"
  17. Your hotel will have fine wifi and with that you can text, messager, WhatsApp and use the internet. I use an app for international free calls called iGroove. It's almost free. If you plan on talking on the phone a lot you may want to get your cell company's international plan. They're all different. Or a Sim card. I never do. I text more than call.
  18. Netflix has an 8 minute "filming of POTD" narrated by Compton. read today there's was an alternative extra scene to be added at the end with Peter reading about anthrax to help those who didn't "get it". Glad they didn't. it would have ruined the ending.
  19. as a confirmed bottom he's not concerned about extra balls. now if there was a 1 in 1 million chance the rMNA vaccines cause hemorrhoids, he'd risk covid.
  20. Payment in advance is a great way to never see someone. I'd never let it be "part of the fee".
  21. I think they're really overstaying their student visa in the US and then starting the Brazil/Spain rotation many do so they can see their families in Brazil. I know several South Americans in that student-overstay situation and their main problem is not getting to see their families or visit home as a US overstay. For a while there were a lot of Brazilians from Spain working Paragonya in Zurich. Other escorts started complaining they were working without Swiss permits.
  22. my friend says he's going to keep getting another shot every two months until he starts growing extra toes or fingers.
  23. I read somewhere (MedPage?) that the expiration on RT tests was originally 6 months but recently they acknowledged that they're good for 12 months so the July date ones are probably good an additional 6 months. Why the newer ones have 12 months from manufacture stamped on the box.
  24. there's also tourist visas for 6 months and student visas for much longer. i stick with attraction to ESTA guys so I can shuffle every 3 months. the worst situation is when you end up with someone who has overstayed their visa or is otherwise "illegal". harder not to marry so they can stay. But you must think of yourself first.
