And they're showing once again this morning, as I expected.

Just noticed that the "ranks" (prince, knight, ...) don't show anymore on the forum lists.

Not so clear; 13 USS Theodore Roosevelt sailors tested positive after recovering.

And I thought I knew everything...thanks, Charlie.

I usually return from Montreal with about that much all ready for my next visit. On average, I've made a small profit over the years (buy low, sell high ). Not this time! -- the CAD is down almost 7% since my last trip. Who knows where it will be by the time I can go back?

Thanks. Stickiness has always been my problem with water-based lube. But silicone (as mentioned above) has its own problems, especially when you're renting an airbnb, even one with a washing machine. Do you have a work-around for the tendency of water-based to get sticky and provide less lubrication?

Or did you mean a leading man's pint-sized cock? (Sorry, couldn't resist. Now back to our originally scheduled programming.)

You mean your bank is still open? My local branch of Chase has even closed its walk-up ATMs in the outer lobby; only the drive-through is open.

There seem to be a slew of different varieties of Sliquid Sea on amazon...which one do you recommend?

A lot of details missing. What exactly does the test measure? Does it really tell whether an individual is infectious? What is the rate of false negatives? I guess my answer is "if the test is 99.???% accurate in determining whether an individual could possibly infect someone else, yes".

I think they've been upfront about not being able to ship as quickly as before even for prime members (and the reasons why). My recent amazon orders have had estimated delivery times a little less than a week out. In most cases, they arrived several days earlier than the estimate.

Good point. As I wrote above, I did not find out directly about any of the friends who have had it, only from mutual friends and only in casual conversation. I found out about my next door neighbors when I was teasing friends who had a case on their block and they replied "what about your next door neighbors?", which they knew about because they belong to a book club together.

Not even secondhand? I'm amazed. My community probably has a lower median age than yours, and by now I know (or know of) quite a few people who've had it. In all cases I found out indirectly, including my next-door neighbors. I suspected something was wrong when their newspapers started accumulating and they didn't even bring them in from the front porch where I had moved them. They were never hospitalized and took about 2 weeks to recover (one of them actually got "better" and then relapsed). Their description of how sick they felt reinforced my determination to avoid catching it.

You'd better get right to it after imbibing...

When I lived in Europe, the default was the opposite...you shopped more or less every day. Bread every day (there would be a line at the bakery around 12:30 of people picking up baguettes for the mid-day meal). Ditto for veggies. Maybe a little less often for meat or fish. Less frequently and in a big chain store for staples like toilet paper. This was 20 years ago; things might have changed since then.

What I can't get my mind around is this. We suspect (see recent stories about random testing in California and New York, for example) that there are many asymptomatic carriers out there. We don't know how long immunity lasts for someone who has had the disease. And I have to assume any escort I hire has other clients, some of whom may be infected and asymptomatic. So no matter how much I trust a particular escort, at this point there's no assurance (other than our having been isolated for > 14 days?) that one of us not infectious. I know people who have had this. Even though none of them was hospitalized, their experiences were worse than the worst flu I've ever had. All those things put together are likely to greatly suppress my libido in any real (as opposed to fantasy) encounter.

That's called a teaser. When do we get the main course?

Here the online portal used to apply for "normal" unemployment benefits had to be modified (or supplemented) to handle self-employment situations. They announced upfront that would lead to delays for those people. One self-employed friend told me a few days ago that the system was not yet working for him. Different from a denial, I know, but cause could be similar. Good luck!

The backstory on why I'm gunshy: when my son was 7, I gave him a disastrous haircut during a bath. He didn't let me forget it for at least 20 years (I didn't realize that hair seems longer when it's wet).

Here it's Trader Joe's that does that -- with their usual cheery staff who manage to walk the line between upbeat and cloyingly pollyannaish. I most enjoyed the way the guy managing the line ended his spiel: "and buy as much as you want...we've solved all our supply chain problems."

Not possible.

I have something like that for beard and body hair. I don't have the balls to try the various haircut/hair-styling attachments, though -- I'm sure I'd end up like one of the bad examples quoted earlier in this thread.

IMO he's alway adorable...

Wish I could say "yes" to that ...
