I couldn't find the 30-day rule (or 14-day rule) in that document. This is what I found:

Owners and operators of residential rental property (also known as “landlords”) may not allow
any person to initiate a new occupancy of a rental property for more than 30 days unless and
until the tenant has been provided a copy of an executed written lease,1 signed by both the landlord and tenant. The landlord must provide the tenant an electronic copy of the signed lease, or paper copy if requested by the tenant, within seven days from the tenant signing the lease...

Glossary of Terms and Definitions:

Tenant: A person who rents a rental property from a landlord.

 

Did I miss something?

Hmm...that definitely does seem like you have to be paying rent for that to apply. 

For a long time, Denver had a rule that prohibited more than two unrelated people from living together and that included "guests" that weren't paying rent. But they recently changed that law in the last election to allow up to five unrelated adults to live together. So maybe something changed in the language when that happened...not sure.

I'd love to see the law, if you can find it. I'm amazed someone can be considered an tenant when he doesn't pay a dime.

I'd be extraordinarily surprised if this doesn't vary widely from one jurisdiction to another. 

In Denver, it's 30 days. After that you are legally considered a tenant unless you are a family member. 

In terms of bringing it back to finances/investing, any advice on weathering bad economic times? I did just put 5K into a 3.5% CD. Considering doing another 5K in I-bonds maybe? Anything else?

It's looking more and more like a global recession is inevitable. Europe definitely is going to have a rough couple years. I think the US economy is actually relatively strong compared to many others. But probably we're in for at least a mild recession to push back against inflation.

Keyword: "apparent". By definition: if a young seemingly healthy person dies of a coronavirus, it means they only appear to be healthy. 

My 90 year old mother-in-law got it an survived and early Covid 19 infection with just a bit of trouble breathing for two days.

By definition - She's healthy.

 

 

But there really is no way to know whether one is going to have these complications or not. Certainly there are risk factors, but a lot of them might not be known until you actually get sick. Again, if someone like Nick Cordero can die from COVID, anyone can die from COVID.

Again..this is speculation, not science.

I think saying everyone who has died of COVID-19 had pre-existing conditions is speculation, not science. Or it's practically pointless. Nick Cordero was by all accounts a healthy 41-year old man who was a Broadway dancer so likely in incredible shape for his age. Yet he died of COVID-19 without any apparent pre-existing conditions. 

Someone like Nick Cordero might not seem like someone at risk of a bad case of COVID, but he clearly did. And if he could die of COVID, I really don't think we have any clue of who else would be at risk. Unfortunately Nick got COVID before the vaccine. But the evidence is clear that COVID vaccines lower the rate of hospitalizations and deaths.  That's not a risk I'm willing to take.

One of the reasons why people are dying of COVID-19 is because many patients develop blood clots. In fact, many people with long-COVID may actually have residual "micro-clots" that cause their lingering symptoms. There is probably some truth that for many people COVID is just a cold, but many people, including many healthy people (Michael Cordero had no pre-existing conditions according to his wife), do get these blot clots that can be very dangerous. And it doesn't seem to me that it's very easy to tell who might be susceptible to experiencing these blood clots and who might not be.

Covid 19 has yet to kill any healthy human being.

 

Covid-19 killed Broadway star Nick Cordero. He was only 41 and "a healthy, young man with no pre-existing conditions dying as a result of the virus." 

There are also many more Americans with obesity than we realize. According to the CDC, it's 41% of Americans who are obese.

Personally, I don't feel the government should force anyone to do anything to their bodies. But I feel it should be strongly encouraged to take the vaccine.

I'm not a fan of endless, bottomless scrolling. I prefer page breaks.

I agree with you here. One nice thing about the old version is that you could actually do a pretty good estimate of the number of escorts in a city. I actually occasionally decided to visit a city based on this metric alone. Like I saw that Atlanta had multiple pages of escorts so decided to visit there over some other cities I was considering. The new version makes that harder to assess. 

I have been on both sides of this. I was very broke for most of my 20s and definitely had friends help pay for things like expensive celebration dinners and whatnot. One of them for a friend's bachelor party that had a $500 per person dinner that I definitely could not afford at the time. He told me simply that he appreciated all the talks we had when he was first dating his now wife and he wanted me at the dinner whether I could afford it or not. I definitely appreciated it.

Now that I am slightly more comfortable (though still not rich by any means), I try to repay the favor. Because I came out kind of late in life, I have some younger gay friends (like late 20s, early 30s) that I met as I was just exploring gay bars, drag shows, etc. I really value their company and have definitely bought them tickets to concerts that we would both like. Sometimes they are hesitant to accept but I tell them I want to go with someone who would appreciate the shared experience and they gracefully accept the tickets.

I think of it as repaying for the times I was the one accepting the gifts. 

I think communication is important. First of all, you should right off the bat look for guys who say they are interested in kissing. And when you communicate with them, be upfront. "I enjoy kissing, lots of body contact, cuddling, etc." 

I think there are some escorts that really like to be "dominant" and get to business, but there are still plenty who like to be passionate. Just got to find the ones that are the latter.

Sherman Mouse, if you are anywhere near him. He even has his own pair of ears ( but they're studded). The guy is an angel on the streets, and a devil in the sheets. He may look a little petite at first glance, but one he gets going, he's got a giant sized talent (and his cock ain't bad either).

I agree 100% Sherman Maus is great.  It sounds like you're also asking for what one does with a boyfriend experience. I've actually done stuff with Sherman. He came to Colorado and we actually went on a lovely hike, had dinner and then had a wonderful time of overnight fun. 

In general, I'd ask whomever you're considering for an BF experience what they are interested in and do something that you mutually both enjoy: Theater, dinner, heck even staying home and playing some video games can be a lot of fun.

To me that's what makes the BFE. Having a guy that can stimulate you both inside and outside the bedroom with a romantic night doing something you both enjoy.

Capitol One is giving 3.25% on 12-month CDs. Just did $5k and will earn $163 for basically doing nothing. Still have another $5k that I am going to wait for slightly higher rates that I think will be coming soon.

It's okay..I have a hard time loading notifications and chats. So that is frustrating. But I don't mind the format.

Is it just me or did they reset the countdown to RM 7.0? I feel like it was going to be in less than a week at one point and now it's saying 55 days.

I identify as pan/bi. For me, it's more of a phasal thing. In high school I had a thing with another "straight" male friend. Then in college through my 20s, I pretty much exclusively dated and had sex with women. Then after a long-term relationship with a woman ended, I ended up dating and hooking up more with guys.

I think some providers are similar. This one bi provider I talked to once got into having sex with guys basically because he was in a dry spell with the ladies and a gay friend of him jokingly said he could get laid whenever he wanted on Gridr. So he actually downloaded it and got a blow job basically within an hour.

Then he sort of realized he's just a very sexual person and he can just kind of have sex and be turned on by anyone.  He likes that gay guys are more sexually available than women, who according to him anyway, he has to date and do a whole bunch of work to have sex. I wouldn't  be surprised if a lot of bi guys are similar.

I actually think it's fairly common for providers to reach out to me as a client. Don't know if it's great policy or not but it does seem to happen quite often.

I like a nice pair of muscular legs. Like I genuinely love looking at sexy men in shorts with their large and muscular legs. I ride a bike a lot and truly seeing a man riding in front of me in bike shorts. Yum.

Unfortunately, I don't think there's a commercially available test for this (someone correct me if I'm wrong). Fortunately, men don't have to worry about getting PID. 

You can get a nucleic acid amplification test, but yes typically it is only done if they rule out other causes of symptoms. And you are right about PID. 

Doctors are concerned about a newly emerging STD with some antibiotic resistance. Mycoplasm genitialium (called MG) is a disease caused by bacteria that lack a cell wall, which already means many antibiotics like penicillin are ineffective against the disease. MG can cause painful urethritis.

Most doctors don't test for MG unless other tests come back negative and the patient continues to have symptoms (pain in the urethra and a watery discharge, though many men are asymptomatic). Many common antibiotics that work for gonorrhea or chlamydia do not work for MG. There is some evidence of antibiotic resistance against MG as well.

The main takeaway is that MG is out there and if you experience symptoms that don't go away after initial treatments, you may want to have your doctor test for MG as well. Fortunately, there are still antibiotic treatments and the MG should be treatable for most people.

Looking at his profile text I suspect he's trying to drive traffic to an OnlyFans/JustForFans site.

I agree or if he does meet it will be very limited to maybe like muscle worship type activities. To me it's odd that he doesn't link his Twitter. Seems like that would be obvious if you're trying to push your OF.

I’m headed to a larger city in a few weeks on business.  I contacted a very well known provider to set up an appointment. He was cordial and quoted me a rate of $800 for a two-hour minimum. So I asked if he’d be open to a one-hour for $500. No deal. In the past, my encounters rarely run past 60 minutes and I’m not wanting to spend $800, because unless the encounter would include some other activities, I’m sure I’d be ready to exit much sooner.  He is definitely my type and I get aroused just reading his texts. And I can well afford it, but it just doesn’t feel right. Do I go ahead and hope we can find enough to keep us occupied for two full hours? Am I overthinking this?

Does he have masseur skills? Is he vers and into/open to lots of stuff? Are you open to lots of stuff? Two-hours is fine if like it can turn into a hot massage/fisting/toy session or something like that. But I do agree if it's just sex...that can be a bit long. Just depends.

I really enjoyed her as the manipulative religious leader Kai Winn on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Still my favorite of the series. She had that perfect mix of righteousness, ambition and narcissism. Great antagonist only able to be fully realized by Fletcher's amazing performance.

This is really shitty in my opinion. Nobody should be fired from a job because of perfectly legal activities they are doing outside of the job. 

That said, this is why since I work in education, I'm a pretty big NO for any videos/photos of anything I do privately. 

Yes. I have and really quite enjoy my time with him. Looks like his pics and is a nice chill, open guy. He can be sometimes a little squirrely with communication. But if you have the patience to deal with that, he's a great choice in Denver.
