On further review at least currently while listing himself as a versatile/top in the Position Statement he doesn't mention anal, kissing, or oral in his Likes Section. Gman

I miss being able to hire Mike. ? Gman

I'm in love with the ginger. Aside from his voice and face, look at the way his arms fill out his sleeves. Gman

You should have seen the amount I was taking after I broke my left leg 22 years ago. I slipped on a thin film of ice-it had misted and then slipped below freezing overnight.It was a classic twisting injury. I broke my fibula right below the left kneecap and my tibia at the ankle. I had surgery and was in a long leg cast for around 10 days then a short leg cast for around a month. When I had the long leg cast on, the doctor wanted the leg elevated 23 out of 24 hours a day. It didn't feel great at any time. But during the hour it was lowered, the blood would pool and the leg/foot throbbed. I think I was taking oxycodone and Tylenol to begin with. I definitely needed it. My parents came to live with me as I couldn't do anything with my leg elevated for 23 hours a day. My Mom was worried I was taking too much. But again she wasn't the one dealing with a broken leg. I had pills left over but never really touched them once I healed. Gman

Thanks. I am at risk. And it's above normal due to my chronic steroid use to control my IVIG. But I see an endocrinologist for my hypothyroidism (from 2009 to 2017 due to Hashimoto's thyroiditis but since 2017 due to a thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid cancer). And while I've had a low vitamin D for years, for most of the last two years, I've been taking 50,000 units of Vitamin D weekly, and I also take 400 mg of calcium citrate multiple nights a week. My last blood test a month or two ago-I had a decent Vitamin D level for the 1st time in I don't know how long. I had a Dexa scan back in December I think. It wasn't totally normal. But she wasn't extremely concerned. She did want me to take IV Zolendronic Acid-one of the anti-osteoporosis medications. I was scheduling it. The infusion company all of a sudden said they wouldn't take my major medical insurance for it as the reimbursement was too low. (I didn't think they were allowed to do that if they had some kind of agreement with the insurance). They would take my pharmacy benefits which were thru another company. But in addition I'd have to pay $300. I didn't really have the $300 to spare -esp when I wouldn't have had to pay anything if they had taken my Aetna Medical Insurance since I've reached my out of pocket maximum. I'm in the beginning process of seeing whether a different infusion company will take my medical benefits alone. I am a bit leery though as there are websites full of people complaining about how the zolendronic acid has led to intractable permanent bone pain. And this is a side effect listed for the medicine. It's difficult to figure out what the risk of it occurring is. Something else that may delay the infusion-I'm thinking of looking for a new endocrinologist. Mine is not the warmest person although for someone whom you basically only see every three months for them to interpret labs for thyroid cancer follow up and for hypothyroidism care, maybe they don't need to be the warmest person in the world. But she's screwed up on ordering my labs twice now. 1. There'a a substance called thyroglobulin that the thyroid produces. If it's in your blood, there's thyroid tissue there. If you've had your thyroid totally removed, there shouldn't be any there-or if there due to residual thyroid tissue-it should be very low. On the other hand if thyroid cancer resurfaces/regrows, your levels will go up. So on my testing last August, it took forever for the results to come back. Plus she had ordered testing to detect Hashimoto's Disease-which is an autoimmune disease of the thyroid. The problem with that is that #1. I already have a history of Hashimoto's. It's in my chart. #2. It doesn't matter if the test for Hashimoto's is positive ( the test detects antibodies) as I no longer have a thyroid for those antibodies to attack. And the thyroglobulin test that was needed -the results came about two weeks later than the rest. It was obvious that test had been ordered as an add on because it hadn't been ordered with the original labs. On my most recent labs she forgot to order a T4 (or at least I'm assuming she forgot as LabCorp didn't have an order for it in their system) which is one of the standard thyroid hormone tests you order to check on how someone is doing on thyroid hormone replacement. Now there is another test which gives some of the same info. But always in the past they've ordered both. So I still think this was a screw up. So if I change endocrinologists in the next few months, I'll see what the new one says about the zolendronic acid for osteoporosis has . Gman

You misunderstood what I said. Or on the other hand, possibly I didn't write what I meant to. Gman

He's very cute. But why do so many of these guys (not just him) feel the need to put that they are good-looking in their ad copy? Wouldn't you expect us as the consumer to be the one to make that decision? And if we didn't think a specific escort was attractive, would him telling us that he is change our mind in most cases? Gman

Well I understand where you are coming from; and I agree with a lot of it. But even if you are going to start antibiotics anyway, a chest film is helpful for a baseline. Say you go in, get antibiotics, but a week later weren't improving in the way the physician expected. A chest film is done at this second visit. It would be nice to have an earlier film for comparison. Gman

Using Hide Me, most of the reviews with words imply he's a top. And two of them explicitly mention taking his tallywacker. There's one review from 2017 which talks about him bottoming. Gman

It's funny-I hurt my back a week ago. And I went to a doc-in-the-box. He gave me 10 Tylenol #3's. I've only used one so far as it made me light-headed when I took it. I would have killed for one when I had the rib fracture. Gman

Well I wasn't seeking a lot of drugs ? What happened was... Back in October I either had a cold or maybe bronchitis. I started out with this cough. It gradually became more severe. One night after a coughing paroxysm I felt something pop in my chest. I coughed a bit the next day. But I was mainly ok until that evening. Then I had a bad coughing paroxysm where I couldn't stop coughing for a while. But what made it worse, was the fact that every time I coughed I felt a pain like a knife stabbing me in my right chest. Immediately after the paroxysm, my chest hurt so badly I couldn't sit down for a while. Standing seemed to slightly lessen the pain. I slept that night sitting mostly upright in a recliner. The following morning I started with the coughing paroxysms again and the accompanying knifing pain in my chest. These occurred multiple times an hour. I went to the ER. They did a CXR which was read as normal, and diagnosed me with a cold-or something. And prescribed me an antibiotic and a cough medication. The problem with that was that while I was having paroxysmal coughing episodes, what was really bothering me was the chest pain. I'm not sure I was really able to make that point clear enough due to the pain and not wanting to seem like an addict trying to get his fix The ER was really busy. I never even had a real room. The PA examined me in the triage room and sent me to x-ray from there. Even if I had been able to make the point about the pain, they are so worried about prescribing narcotics these days that it probably wouldn't have mattered. The codeine cough medication did nothing for me. Later in the week still in pain and coughing I saw an internist from the group I go to. I hadn't seen her before. But I wasn't able to get into my internist. She actually prescribed some Tessalon Perles for the cough which helped more than the codeine ever ha. I can't remember if she gave me any narcotics. She may have given me Flexeril-a supposed muscle relaxant. I've had it a few times before. As far as I can tellit's never done anything for me. But the internist was wondering whether I might have a rib fracture. She sent me for rib films. Later she sent me a message that the rib films were negative. But the radiologist wanted to relook at an area on my right side. When I recontacted her office, I was told that -No the x-ray was still being read as normal. Now 8 months later, I just had a new chest x-ray (taken at a different hospital than the one in October) for the cardiologist a few weeks ago because I was having some chest discomfort. He sent me a note shortly afterward saying there was nothing for me to worry about. Today I noticed the actual report of the x-ray was in my portal. I read it. LO AND BEHOLD it talks about a HEALING RIB FRACTURE ON MY RIGHT!!! I'm really glad to know now that I wasn't making up the agony I went through for 10 days. If any of you ever sustain a rib fracture, I feel for you. I wonder if they might have given me some narcotics if they had diagnosed my correctly. I know they don't want to suppress your breathing as they don't want you to develop a pneumonia from not expanding your lungs. That's the same reason they don't bind your chest anymore. But I would have been willing to risk a light chest binding. Gman

I hope at least one of his 95 reviewers knows. Gman

The Brylcream isn't holding. I guess these days I need more than a dab (a reference younger members may not understand). I may have to end up shellacking my hair to keep the fly-away look at bay. Gman

The funny thing is I had some the other day. If what I was tasting was the cilantro, it was kind of bitter. But it wasn't overpowering, and I didn't mind it. And there are other bitter things people eat. Gman

Probably over 1/2 of the bottoms I've topped have used them. But do tops use poppers a lot? I don't. For one thing they give me a headache. And I never liked that head rush feel. For another thing I'm usually on viagra. But I didn't like the head rush feeling before that. Gman

That was a very menschly thing to do. (If you don't understand Yiddish-it's a very high compliment). Texas is having a resurgence. The Texas Medical Center in Houston-taken as a whole-is considered the largest hospital in the world. They are at 100% ICU CAPACITY from Covid-19 and non Covid related illnesses. The governor today has put restaurants back at 50% capacity and closed bars down as of noon today. So I'm avoiding the barbershop. But truthfully I was avoiding the barbershop even before the resurgence. I figured if I was doing televisits with doctors because I wasn't willing to go to their waiting rooms that it didn't make sense to go to a barbershop where at least theoretically they probably disinfect worse. Unfortunately because I'm old and mostly bald, the hair I have left on the sides is finer in texture and lacking body, so it frizzes and curls up. I actually bought Brylcream for the first time in years to try to get the hair to stay down. They sent me a 5.5 oz tube. It's enormous!! Considering the amount of hair I have left, I'll never be done with it. They'll end up having to bury me with it. But as in the after life I'll have a full head of hair, it will price very useful. Gman

In my case I find it's better to receive rather than give. Gman

Ok I'll add something - if the pictures are true, this guy is very good looking, has a killer bod, and a really nice tallywacker. If he's actually gay, but even if for some reason he were actually straight, I can't even imagine how much sex this guy must get on a routine basis. Personally I'm imagining that he must get so much in his private life, that it's probably better no one on here has met him. He's probably all pooped out. To tell you the truth I'm envious. Gman

Well if you were in the market for more of a "courtesan" /gigolo extended hire scenario, then his educational bonafides might be very pertinent. Although a doctorate in physical therapy isn't really the type of degree that you 1st think of if you were looking for someone who knew art, opera, the proper wine pairings, and etc. On the other hand if you were more the world adventurer/ Bear Grylls type, his physical therapy skills would come in quite handy. There was an athletic guy with sandy red hair who escorted out of California years ago and touted his Ivy League bonafides. I have a vague memory his fees were also quite pricey. Gman
