  1. I believe that the only majority Muslim country I have ever been to with my partner was Morocco, and it was when a gay friend decided to throw a landmark-birthday bash for himself and friends and family from all over the world, and chose to do it in Marrakesh. He booked a couple of riads for his guests, who naturally included a number of male couples, 2 to a room. The riad and restaurant hosts seemed fine with that. Of course, the party wasn't exclusively male or gay, and many of the guest couples were middle-aged to elderly, which may have made a difference in their attitude to the group.
  2. I misread this as "Start licking your penises good-bye," and I panicked for a moment.
  3. If anyone decides this topic is worthy of a photo gallery, I won't be watching.
  4. We are a middle income couple, but strangely enough, our experience this year is different. We usually owe the feds and the state of CA, but this year we are getting refunds from both, even though our fixed income is similar to last year. I can only assume that our tax preparer found a new loophole related to our itemized deductibles, or else made an error somewhere. Addendum: I just remembered that last year we forgot to make some of the estimated tax payments, and this year we made them, so it could be as simple as that.
  5. I haven't done my own taxes for many years, because they are so much more complicated than they were when I was young and single and my only income came from my employer. So I took all my documents to our tax CPA's office and handed them over. Yesterday I got an email from the accountant's office, but there were so many attachments and things that I was supposed to do to e-file, that I just called their office this morning and asked them to please print everything up so we could just come in and sign papers with a pen, and write them a check or hand them a credit card. They were very nice about it, and we are going in to sign and seal everything this afternoon. (We started using them several years ago because they quickly developed a local reputation for being very friendly toward same-sex married couples.)
  6. Whitman wins because his posts are more numerous than anyone else's, and they are more numerous because they are almost all individual photos in the galleries. I don't think anyone is complaining about that, and the galleries are easy enough to ignore if you are not interested in looking at them--there are plenty of other subjects here.
  7. I think DMV might actually be Delaware/Maryland/Virginia (that would make extension to Philly more logical.
  8. Many people go to college because they want to learn what to think, not how to think. Critical thinkers are the exception rather than the rule in most societies, including educational institutions.
  9. I think that has probably always been true of "higher education," not just today.
  10. The problem with trying to answer whether "going to college is worth it" is that you will never really know until long after you have made the choice. It turned out to be worth it, for me, when I made the choice in the middle of the last century. Who knows whether it will be worth it for a particular individual trying to decide today? So much about the world can change within a lifetime, not to mention the changes within the individual. The important things to consider are what you know about yourself and your goals, and what you know about the choices that are available to you.
  11. Wow! I guess the days when I could get an in-call at a call-boy agency in Manhattan for $60 are gone for good.
  12. He also appears today in our "Lumbersexual" thread.
  13. Although I've been to all of those places, I suppose I'm partial to Graz because I spent a summer there.
  14. You hit a lot of the places I love in southeastern Europe, but you left out Dubrovnik, always a tourist favorite, and Salzburg and Graz, which are worthwhile if one spends much time in Austria.
  15. Of course, that didn't mean that before the Fair Housing Act it was impossible to sell a house to someone based on their race, etc. The former owner may very well have been pleased to sell the house to a young Black singer who was already in the news as a rising star on the international stage--he may even have been an opera fan. The FHA was passed primarily because of financial institutions that used different criteria for approving loans to certain kinds of buyers, sellers who refused offers based on their own prejudices, and housing associations that had covenants restricting who could buy in. I imagine that in 1961 it wouldn't have been that difficult in Manhattan for someone of Ms. Price's reputation to buy almost anything she could afford.
  16. The OP stated that he would be in Oradell on Monday, so I took it for granted that he would have a car, but it sounded like he wanted a local option there that day, and people unfamiliar with the area might not know that North Bergen isn't in Bergen County (in fact, it's south of Bergen County). The recommendations for providers in North Bergen probably are his best options, but they are 35-45 minutes drive from Oradell even for someone who knows the best routes. He didn't indicate any reason for mentioning Kearny in the title.
  17. I kind of doubt you will find much in north-central Bergen County (Paramus-Oradell). The two mentioned above are actually in North Bergen (which, of course, is in Hudson County). The mayor of Paramus is a very old friend of mine, but I don't think she could help me with info on this topic.)
  18. I have the same experience with Firefox and Google on my PC.
  19. Considering that improvements in nutrition have led to increased average body size in areas of the world where males were traditionally malnourished, it should not be surprising that the size of their penises has increased somewhat proportionally for the whole population. However, I think we all are aware from experience that it is hard to predict most individuals' cock sizes based just on their body size, nor predict their body size just from the cock protruding through the glory hole.
  20. actually one sunny afternoon in Greenwich Village back in the mid 1960s.........😈
  21. Today is John Kander's 97th birthday. (Are you wondering why I mention that in this thread?😉)
  22. I forgot to mention Ozzie Nelson (no, I didn't sleep with him--he was my father's age.). He grew up around the corner from me, next door to my uncle, and we graduated from the same small town high school.
  23. "Homesteading" or "The Homestud Act" were my own ideas.
