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

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

Well I was wondering why a cruise ship was on a highway. But I thought-that can't be the joke. Guess I was wrong. Gman

This question was posted on Facebook. And here was my reply, "Well darn-the second to last thing I watched was English comedian Jack Whitehall's Travel-Comedy Documentary "Travels With My Father; however, I was getting tired of that. So the last thing I watched was the beginning of the comedy series "What We Do In The Shadows." Gman

I don't get it?. Gman

I hope no one minds a little, unseasonal humor. Gman

Back when I was gainfully employed and living in Tacoma, I had the pleasure of hiring him for a dinner meeting and for some pleasant after dinner activity also. Prior to that we had had a few conversations thru the Message Center and had met briefly (I'm not sure if he actually remembered me from that) at the Chicago Dinner Spring 2011 which was coincident with the 2011 IML. David is one of those guys who has become physically more attractive thru the years. Personality-wise as long as I've been aware of him, he was always the epitome of being nice. I'm not sure if it's possible for him o improve on that. Gman

Does anyone know if either of them ever escorted, or was anyone here ever "with" one of them? Gman

On a slightly different but related subject which your post reminded me of-I have been with two escorts who told me they liked staying at the specific hotels they were staying at because they "knew" someone in management and received upgrades. Gman

No so far it's just had two dates. I'd like to get closer. But unless things improve it may have to stay at the buddy stage. Gman

At the moment more of just a friendship. After all we've only seen each other in person twice. And if there is any chance at all for something deeper to happen, he'll have to become a better communicator. But as for "talking" it out, I thought that's what I was doing here. I don't really have anyone In person in my life that I can talk about this with. Well there is one acquaintance. But I haven't seen him in person in months due to the virus. Plus he is only a fairly recent acquaintance and not a long term friend. And he recently lost his job due to the downturn in business. He has quite a lot on his mind right now. I also have a pen-pal that I could discuss it with. But really there's not anything to discuss yet. Two meetings with a polyamorous guy do not constitute a death do you part relationship. WHOA-I am far from taking him home to meet Mom. I couldn't even if I wanted to. She's in a retirement community (on the independent living side). I haven't been able to see her in person since the first part of March. Gman

Boy, did you just say (or rather write) a mouthful, @RealAvalon-esp when gig consider I'm at high risk due to age, medical conditions, and being immune suppressed from prednisone. I'm sure I'm being overly dense here, @WilliamM, but talk about what specifically with friend? Gman
