Exactly

That might be a smart alternative for me and many other single folks I know.

Don't blame her one bit. We are very fortunate that my dad has gotten through many typical old age problems (hip, knee) with very difficult physical therapy without having to resort to the downer of assisted or independent living. I guess he could adjust, but it would definitely affect his spirit.

This clip of Garland on the 1st ABC iteration of Cavett has probably been posted before, but I think it is the best example of her talent as an entertainer shining through despite the effects of pills, booze, and who knows what else. Infuriates me to see the occasional snark comments on this clip about her being bombed. Those are the types who never understood her struggles.

Honestly, it should be the one that feels right for you. As long as you're not snide or "take it or leave it", you shouldn't have to be self conscious about a response. Btw the guy you referenced in the other thread is a schmuck. He will have his comeuppance.

According to her daughter, Dietrich and Garbo were also fierce competitors. And maybe Marlene was a bit jealous. But her first comment upon learning of Garbo's death was, "she always smelled like pee."

I would agree with that. I'm mainly referring to her career post films. Wasn't she in Destry Rides Again?

Yes, that was the case way back when in my youth.

Haha I'm a bit out of practice, but the str8 men i'm talking about would require little in the way of seduction. More like a beer or two, perhaps a shot of Rumplemintz for the more resistant.

I've never gotten close to paying 500 for 3 days of someone in Honolulu or 200 for an overnight anywhere. But I can tell you there are still penniless straight guys who will unzip or more for 100. Harder to find these days, but still available.

M4M Forum Reporter: Client Smith posted his account of an exchange between himself and Escort Wiseass, detailing how the escort agreed to work for a lower rate if Mr Smith would meet him very soon. According to Smith, Mr. Wiseass deliberately led him to believe that the two gents would meet at Smith's apartment at 7pm. However, wiseass pulled a fast one, backing out of the agreement because he claimed that another client was going to pay his stated rate and more. After a few helpful posts responding to Mr. Smith's dilemma, things quickly devolved into a free for all pie fight following the member's post quoted above. Was the OP genuine in claiming he had no desire to haggle with Escort Wiseass? Was it right to question OP's premise? Several members threw full pies; some threw slices here and there; some just threw a bit of shade. Forum administrators report no serious injuries. In the end, the question of who was in the right was never resolved. The only thing we know is that a childish, smart ass escort was so offended that he tricked a client into preparing for a commitment he did not intend to honor, triggering what could have been a blood bath. For M4M Forum news, I'm Carlton Cobaine.

I for one can't wait for a Dietrich mini biopic, though it might have to be a bit sensational for ratings. I read her daughter's biography of her a few years back. As I recall, her life by the 60s was constant tension between booze and the ability to constantly reinvent. All of this was before her famous London encore in the early 70s. I think she was a genius.

No more than they were interested in a series about Joan Crawford and Bette Davis in 2018 (Feud). That did reasonably well, right?

When does this man sleep? And how many arms does he have?

Just say no

It may be hugely expensive and excessively touristy , but what about Providence? **Said largely out of limited knowledge**

Hope you got the jumbo crate from Sam's Club. This might have several more 6 episode seasons.

And there's the dilemma for the few of us who, unless we win the lottery or inherit a windfall, may not have the luxury of fully retiring until our bodies retire. What then?

So sorry to hear that. Must have been one of those post- WWII periods in which a)the military felt pressure to purge its ranks of perverts and b) it could spare the personnel.

And now some scenes from next week's presentation of Victorien Sardou's classic melodrama, " Les rues de Montreal"....

Yes, probably conservative. But conservative here tends to be a bit more subdued than Texas and much of the South. Fred Phelps and his ilk are very much the exception.

Yes, Wichita (or ICT as the boys there say) is a cool place. I'm about 2 hrs away, so I visit (or fly out of) regularly. Too bad they can't get better fares to Chicago, etc.

I really mean small town Kansas well west and south of KC. The KC area and exurbs as far as Lawrence serve as moderate to liberal oases. But you'd be surprised at the number of small towns here that have gay couples who are quite happy.

Depends on where u are. The trend in most U.S. clubs that have stripping as their main attraction seems to be more teasing, less contact. And the customer is expected to keep his distance beyond tipping and, maybe, a private lap dance. But in a few cities, particularly New Orleans, the culture and attitude of the city is reflected in the clubs. The Corner Pocket has been around for over 30 years, and though the city clamps down on what the dancers and customers can do now and then, it still has a very lax attitude about contact between customers and dancers. How much contact is largely up to the dancers (on most nights). As long as you tip bartender and dancers consistently, you will have few limits in New Orleans. Other places I'm not as familiar. For more feel free to pm.

Don't forget Kansas!
