Well he's an idiot. He texted me this morning and said he had been at work; and then didn't answer last night because of other responsibilities. HOWEVER-I do not think it was a case of my insecurities getting the better of me. I think any reasonable person would have thought/reacted the way I did. I mean he talks about having an overnight. I say I'm interested. But I admit to having sleep apnea which might prove disturbing for him. And then complete radio silence immediately after that for 15 hours. Normal people would have at least said-gotta go-work is getting busy. Talk later. Gman

I'm a simple man. Gman PS. Plus he's really cute.

@Charlie, any chance I could peruse ? these records? I'm betting I'd find them fascinating. Gman

He may have blocked me. I tried calling. The number said "User Busy". I don't ever remember getting that before. Gman

well when you are in the middle of a conversation about spending the night and he suddenly goes silent. I think feeling he's pulled back is a reasonable assumption. But if I'm wrong, I will happily admit it. Gman

That's a good idea assuming he ever talks to me again. Or in a future situation. But I truly did not think he would ghost me. I thought If the answer was no we'd at least talk about it. And I didn't bring up the BiPAP machine because I thought for sure that would freak him out. Gman

William-I dont think you understand. If it were just a night of me not sleeping well, I could probably endure. I do take occasional inadvertent naps without it. But I am told I snore very loudly without the machine. My brother was told years ago that he had borderline sleep apnea. I lived at his place for a year. I could hear him snore thru two closed doors I'm not sure how my sister-in-law hasn't smothered him in his sleep over the last 44 years to get a good night's sleep herself. Without me on my machine DPCG would never have been able to sleep unless he were deaf. That would have gone over well I'm sure. It was better for me to bring up the situation and explain about the machine. The machine wouldnt have prevented snuggling. And it's very quiet-quieter than most hotel a/c's. I certainly didn't expect complete radio silence like this from someone who seemed like a reasonable person. Gman

I'm pretty faithful to it. I don't feel rested if I don't. And without it, I'd be snoring big time. Gman

Only a year? I doubt I could ever get there. Gman

I was tired of getting flour and other things on my clothes. Disclaimer: This is a model -not me. width=334.796875pxhttps://www.dropbox.com/s/qzh75se8qvp0gwi/IMG_0621.PNG?raw=1[/img] The apron came with the following words of wisdom. Gman

I appreciate the support. I wasn't looking for him to be the love of my life-and in case he ever answers back-I'm still not. . But I was hoping for a deep like if things worked out. And if he can't handle it, why can't he be man enough to say so. Men are all scum-except of course for you, @Daverwr. Are you single by any chance? Why am I asking? No particular reason As for my machine, it's a BiPAP machine. I haven't really seen any travel BiPAPs. And mine is fairly light weight as it is. It's not travel CPAP light. But it is only 2-3/4 pounds. It's slightly heavier than my previous model-by I think about a quarter of a pound. But I bought my last machine in2011. It didn't have the internet connectivity that this one has, and I wonder if that's the difference. Actually my current one may be lighter than 2-3/4 pounds as it comes with an attached humidifier. I don't use the humidifier. And I was afraid it would collect dust. So there's an adapter panel you can buy to close off the humidifier space. In any case, both this one and my previous one are much lighter than my 1st-or was it my second machine from around 2003. It weighed something like 5-1/4 pounds. It wasn't really that heavy until you had to drag it around airports. Then it gained an ounce every 5 minutes starting from the time I left the house. . Gman

My membership was just renewed, and they didn't ask me for that info. Gman

What's a tallywacker wall?? Gman

I told the truth. So Damn Poor Communicating Guy, heretofore to be known as DPCG, has continued with his aberrant texting follow-ups. For example He texted Thursday to say have a good day. I responded back-and nothing. Friday another one line of text and he didn't respond back to my response to him. Saturday he texted saying he'd be up for meeting this week. I respond back with something about my schedule-no reply. Then he texts today. We actually have several back and forth texts about our different schedules. He actually invites me to spend the night if I'm interested. After I think about it for a second, I reply as follows--"I actually would like that. But one thing-it might bother you-I have sleep apnea. Are you familiar with that?" After that radio silence. When I didn't hear back over the next few minutes I sent a few successive texts. "It's not contagious." Continued Silence. "Is that a problem?" Continued Silence I'm hoping you were caught up in work. Please text me later." What else could I do aside from saying no to the invitation? IT wouldn't be very nice of me to either get there for an overnight without my machine then keep him up all night with my snoring, or to bring my machine along without telling him-and having him freak out because I look like Mr. Lecter in my mask. And if he wasn't familiar with the condition, I didn't want to freak him out by discussing my BiPaP machine without any preliminary explanations. If DPCG is now ghosting me-and who could know for sure because of his horrible texting history-I'm royally po'ed. I gave that man the best two hours of my week on the week we met. And if he has, it's just so juvenile not to at least discuss it with me and tell me it will never work as he's an incredibly light sleeper. He seemed like such a nice (although a bit ADD) guy. I was really looking forward to getting to know him better. Gman

Probably bionic. Gman

I'll still love you no matter what species you are, @FreshFluff!! Gman

One you reached that point you'd probably continue on until you reached a zen-like "Sting-Time Frame." Gman

That's a TV show?? Gman

There is a noticeable difference in Dolly's first verse between the movie and the play. In the movie, Barbra's voice goes up in two places in the 1st verse. The last being on "...You feel as fine as you look." Both Bette Midler and Bernadette Peters go down on the word "look." I've more used to Barbra's version as I first saw the movie when I was about 8 or 9, and I've seen it multiple times since then. The more I listen to the musical soundtrack, the more accustomed I get to hearing a lower note on "look." But I still think Barbra's version sounds better. I wonder why they didn't use that in the revival. Gman

@Charlie, I'm glad you had a nice time. I had a couple of questions for clarification that I hope aren't too intrusive. 1). Had you known prior to this that you were a "FOD"(= "Friend of Dorothy?)" 2). Had you had experiences with guys before? 3). Had you gone to the bus station specifically to find fun? 4). What do you think it was it about you, aside from being an attractive guy in your teens or early 20's, that made Michel pick you from possibly other FOD's there that day. Did you do anything to specifically attract attention of other FODs? 5). Did you ever see Michel again? Gman

I don't get it. ?. Is it that you've had a species change from cat to dog in 20 years? Gman

I love that scene in the movie (and yes even though Babs and Walter don't seem to go that well together, I still really like the movie. I have it on iTunes.) Here's the scene from the Broadway show. Cornelius is very good even if it's not the Tony Award winner for the part Gavin Creel. Also Bernadette seems not to have had her best vocal performance that day. I love the men's suits. They are perfect for a Pride Month display. And I found this high school production. I am blown away by the Cornelius. The boy has an incredible voice. Gman

It's interesting how different Jack is from his father. And for a straight guy, Jack's body is very loose. There's one scene where Jack is about to confess something to his father Michael, and the father implies he wouldn't have been surprised if Jack came out as gay. And I'm not sure if all of Michael's deadpan humor is actually humor. I think he's truly curmudgeonly. Also I agree with Jack-Winston is creepy. Gman
