To be fair, getting dressed is not their specialty.

CarolinaRen reacted to pubic_assistance in Non-Tipper
If you're hiring an independent contractor, with a significant rate and no extras were added, then tipping is optional.

CarolinaRen reacted to BonVivant in Emigrate for retirement?
It always sounds like a great idea. But… moving away from the USA is not all roses and champagne. You are going to a totally new place. What about friends, family, connections? The health insirance. The language? It can be isolating; how will you meet people?
Another approach to consider: move to a lower cost area of the USA and then travel different parts of world. Then come to home base. Rest & relax. Spend the holidays. And then repeat.

CarolinaRen reacted to INS123 in Mexico City review site
Is there a local Spanish-language review site for guys in Mexico City? I see guys on Mileroticos, but I want to make sure they're good at what they do and safe to meet up with.

CarolinaRen reacted to Bokomaru in And now, the end is near...
As a gay man of a certain age, the most notable thing about Sears for me was that at a very early age I could see pictures of men in their underwear in the Sears catalog. There was nothing else available that was even remotely sexual, so that was the best I could find.
To this day I have a specific fetish tied to using that catalogue as a form of porn.

CarolinaRen reacted to prof in 65 is not elderly, damn it!
I'm over 65, work part time (by choice), volunteer regularly, travel, babysit for young relatives & friends, and exercise daily. If someone wants to consider me elderly, it doesn't alter anything in my lfe, & if they want to give me discounts, I'll gladly take advantage! The only thing that irritates me is someone calling me "young man," as if humoring me or making me feel better about being a fossil. That comes across as condescending. I know how old I am, I'm grateful for my experience & acquired wisdom, & I need nothing sugar-coated.

CarolinaRen got a reaction from + Pensant in How do you suppose this happens?
I've just recently had a provider I saw in the summer of 2018 pop up in my "people you may know" stream on a social media platform. It's definitely him, and it's his real account and his real name. We have no mutual friends, and we've never had any dealings with each other outside of our session that afternoon. I was baffled when I first saw it. Would Facebook be rummaging through our phone records? His number would have been in my phone for awhile, but I dropped that phone and ruined it in 2020. His number isnt on my current phone. This just happened a couple of weeks ago. Any ideas? The ways we're being tracked these days is something else.

CarolinaRen reacted to Ali Gator in Got my second Shingles shot - have no fear, ask me anything!
Yesterday, I got my second Shingles shot (Shingrix), as my first was given to me the first week of October. The patient is supposed to wait at least two months between shots but no longer than six months (otherwise its ineffective), so I was right in the middle at three months. Since I turned 60 this year, and had chicken pox when I was 12, my PCP strongly recommended I get the Shingles vax.
Now I've heard so many horror stories about patients suffering from side-effects after the second dose (the pharmacist at Walgreens, where I went for both shots, explained in simple terms how the 'first vax' tries to fight off the second vax, not knowing they are working together).
Here is a rundown of what some of the side effects are after the second shot (though not everyone suffers the same) : Nauseous, high fever, body aches, fatigue. According to the pharmacist, these usually kick in about 12 hours after you get the shot, and usually last about 12 - 24 hours. She recommended I pick up some chicken soup (enough for two days) at the Italian restaurant next door (I did) and take 2 Tylenol every eight hours over the first 24 hours, to keep the fever and aches away. Most importantly - hydrate! Drink plenty of water (I did).
Overall, I feel fine 24 hours after the shot. During the night, I got up to drink water every couple of hours (and go to the bathroom), and my lower back was a bit achy as were my legs. I got up this morning, took 2 more Tylenol and for the past few hours (sitting up watching TV, eating breakfast) the aches and pains went away. I was never nauseous, I never had a fever - the Tylenol definitely helped.
So if you're debating about the Shingles shot - and heard horror stories about the second shot - I encourage you to put your fears aside and plan accordingly. Hydrate, take plenty of Tylenol (to keep the aches and pains away), eat chicken soup and other proteins. One thing which helped me was going for my shot this week while I was on vacation - this way I didn't need to take a sick day or personal time from my job. I recommend you plan to get it on a Friday (even before you go to work or on your lunch hour - your side effects will kick in 12 hours later), so you have Saturday to recuperate. Remember - you only need a Shingles vax once in your life - and you don't want to risk getting shingles (it's painful).
I hope my sharing this experience helps those who have concerns. Everyone should be pro-active and get the Shingles shot if your 60 and older (some say 50 and older - ask your PCP). Feel free to ask me anything !
PS - Also on your list should be the annual flu shot, pneumonia (every five years) and TDAP (every 10). As for the COVID vax updates, that's up to you (my PCP has advised against it, so I have not been updating since 2021 - he believes we know have herd immunity).

CarolinaRen reacted to urbanfetish in International destination with good massage spas

If you're interested in Mexico City, I definitely recommend Kundalini Studio. I used this massage service last time I was in Mexico City and it was amazing! Their space was nothing special but the sensual massage was one of the best I've ever had. Of course, it didn't hurt that it was a 4 hand massage. The booking process was very easy and friendly. It's clear that their goal is to provide excellent service from beginning to end.

CarolinaRen reacted to Greg250 in International destination with good massage spas
About a decade ago I used to travel to Hong Kong a couple of times a year for work. I used https://www.utopia-asia.com/hkmasa.htm to research male spas there. As Marc said they are concentrated on HK Island as well as in Kowloon. In most cases, a great experience.
BTW, long time reader of the forum. Since retiring and the pandemic, my travel is limited so I no longer have recent masseur experiences to share here… but I enjoy reading what other members contribute.

Sounds kind of hot but I refuse to go to anyplace & have anonymous sex with people that I can’t see what they look like.

CarolinaRen reacted to maninsoma in Male Celebrity Sex Parties... Have You Been to One?
I have never really understood this kind of gossip. Unless someone is being outed who is otherwise a homophobe -- particularly a homophobe in a position to help enact anti-gay laws -- doesn't the person deserve privacy and a right to tell their own story whenever and however they want? Even if it's just gossip about someone's sexual activity and not their sexual orientation, I don't see what business it is for other people to discuss.
I get the "wish fulfillment" aspect of it, but if I was someone famous I know I wouldn't want people who don't even know me gossiping about my sex life.
