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?

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

Put on your underwear or pants? Gman

You're welcome, @former lurker!! 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

I'm assuming this is Willy. But who exactly is he? Gman

Does it have a taste you can describe, @azdr0710? I think, as I said above it might taste mildly soapy to me. But there are other bitter things that some people eat/drink, such as bitters, club soda/Perrier, and gin. So apparently I'm not the only to be able to tolerate something bitter. Are you allowed to share the recipe with us? Gman

Reportedly it is genetic. And in the past I think maybe I've read that that might be the reason some people don't like broccoli too-it tastes bitter to them. So you like cilantro. But what does it taste like to you? I actually think it might have a soapy taste to me. But it's not overpowering, and while I might not pick up a sprig to eat on its own, I'm fine with the way it tastes on fajitas. Gman

I think the first time I probably had cilantro was in my early to mid 20's during the 1980's when I had my first fajitas because I doubt my Mom ever used it in her cooking. I like it. But I've read not everyone does. Gman

Are they supposed to be grapes? Gman

Interestingly enough as I alluded to in my prior post, in Judaism we aren't really supposed to decorate graves. I'm wondering if originally it was thought to be idolatrous. We don't embalm either. Technically per at least one of the ancient rabbis, people were not supposed to be buried in their finery. Death was supposed to be a great equalizer between rich and the poor. Religious Jews (men) are supposed to be buried in a simple white robe called a kittel. This robe is also worn by the groom at weddings (Note: I'm not sure I've ever seen one worn by a groom. But as far as I can remember, I've never been to an Orthodox wedding. All the weddings I've been to have either been Conservative, Reform, and/or mixed marriages.) But back to the no decorating graves, that's why in general there aren't flowers on Jewish graves. The scene in Driving Miss Daisy where Daisy is planting flowers on her husband's grave is a big mistake. Gman

But if @BasketBaller doesn't call the guy MY MAN, then the guy will never know that @BasketBaller is in deep deep like with him so. That @BasketBaller's life is just despair. But that @BasketBaller doesn't care because when HiS MAN is there, the world is bright. It's all right. And what's the difference if @BasketBaller says that he'll go way. When @BasketBaller knows he'll come back another day. For whatever @BasketBaller's guy is. He is HIS. Gman (With deepest apologies to @BasketBaller, his friend, Fanny Brice, Barbra Streisand, and all of you out there in Message Center Land as I just couldn't help myself.)

I also forgot to say-and I needed to look up some specifics-but in Judaism "praying to the dead" (I am quoting from a website) was not encouraged. So the practice of visiting the cemetery was to be restricted to certain special times. One of these as I discussed above is the yearly Yahrzeit. Another occasion is more of a community event. It occurs on the Sunday between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Members of the congregation will meet for a service at the cemetery. Where I grew up, the community was too small for its own cemetery. I believe the service was held at the Jewish section of one of the local cemeteries. I actually can't remember if I ever went. Maybe once when I was in college. When I was growing up, I always viewed it as one of those things adults did. I'm not sure very many children attended. On the other hand I don't know for sure as I never went. We also have to custom of when we go to a grave, we find a small rock or stone to put on the headstone as a sign of respect. If you go to a Jewish cemetery/grave, you may very well see some rocks on top of the headstone. It's a sign someone visited. Looking at one website, it said the custom may have originated because rocks were once used to mark our the positions of graves. At my father's resting place, some family has donated a stone/concrete receptacle to hold stones to be placed on the headstone, so you don't have to look around on the ground to find one. Gman
