  1. There isn't a history of extreme longevity prior to the Queen Mother, but Elizabeth's Great-Grandmother Alexandra was about 80 when she died in 1925, and Victoria was 81 when she died in 1901. Not bad for those times. Her Great-Aunt by blood, Princess Alice of Athlone lived to 97, dying in 1981 I think, and her Aunt by marriage, Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester surpassed the age of the Queen Mother and died at 102 in 2004, I think. Interestingly, the ones who live the longest have tended to marry into the family, rather than being part of the royal bloodline. The Luxembourghish royals seem to have good genes, with a number making it into their 90s in recent years.
  2. My sentiments exactly!
  3. The ad seems to be gone...
  4. Canada also did a good early job with containment, but the vaccine roll out has been botched. Only 2% have received both jabs so far, and more than 8000 new cases yesterday. Hospitalizations are at record highs and many areas are entering lockdown again. Very disappointing. Like with many things, Cansda does well out of the gate, only to collapse in the final turn.
  5. As a survivor of sexual abuse myself, I can say that things like this affect each person differently and should be considered more subjectively. I know others who were assaulted as 6-foot 230 pound guys by much smaller women and men, who felt completely powerless as it happened. The key word is power. We also dont know what experiences Colton may have had as a younger person that may have made him more vulnerable to the effects of the groping. Reactions are unpredictable, and I don't believe its fair to assume he is just trying to cash in.
  6. Better a spouse than a louse.
  7. This is how I use Wikipedia.
  8. He's 38-feet tall.
  9. Not everyone is good at math, I suppose.
  10. I think his wife is alive at 80 years old or so, but both sons have died. One in 2010 by suicide and the other in 2014 by cancer, if I remember correctly.
  11. Hmmm... 'feel the sky'? Hopefully he doesn't throw his clients out the window or off the balcony - the 'new sensation' being your body hitting the sidewalk.
  12. Just confirmed my flight and hotel for this weekend! Can't wait to meet everyone... oh, wait. Looks like I'm a week late...lol. But seriously, I'm glad a good time was had by the sounds of it Travel is still out for me - probably won't get my first vaccination for another two months, and then my second around September. ?
  13. I remember math before some guy decided throw the alphabet in for fun.
  14. They are full of grease, which renders out as you roast them. Its like liquid gold and solidifies like butter when refrigerated - perfect for roasting potatoes and root vegetables. Hard to find and quite pricey to buy.
  15. Maybe he's suggesting you can compensate his time with oranges and lemons...
  16. LOL... maybe he's referencing Westminster? Let's all try for 'Best in Show'. BTW, an awesome movie.
  17. That was great - and supports my assertion that Canada geese are complete and utter jerks. The only good goose is one that is stuffed with cornbread and sage dressing, and slowly roasted in its own fat until mahogany brown.
  18. I'd like to do 5 days in St. Petersburg and 5 in Moscow, but I've heard the process to get a visa is kind of complicated, including sending away your passport.
  19. I think it is responsible for the masseur to disclose if the massage is moving towards something more. I don't think a masseur should feel compelled to disclose anything until/unless such a point is reached. We hear about people having flings with their electrician or gardener, but it would be inappropriate to ask them about their health status when seeking their services. While massage is inherently more intimate than electrical work, I still think it would be an overstep to ask them about their status when reaching out. And as you have acknowledged, it is ultimately your responsibility to protect yourself. Asking someone is no guarantee that they actually know their status or will tell the truth about it, so it's important not to be lulled into a false sense of security. Granted, I have never had any experiences of the romantic sort, so perhaps my advice is misplaced.
  20. Yellowstone is definitely on my bucket list. I've been to Jellystone however, and it was alright. Except for this annoying bear that was wearing a hat, collar and tie, and who kept trying to steal my picnic basket. The arrogant bastard kept telling me he was smarter than the average bear. He finally left me alone after I gave a swift kick to his even more annoying bowtie-wearing little friend, and sent him flying. He may have ended up with a boo-boo.
  21. Bidding seems to have surpassed the estimate.
  22. Bumping a thread brings it to the forefront again so that others who may have never seen it can comment or provide input.
  23. Sorry, which masseur are you referencing?
  24. I understand that much loss has been suffered already in 2021, but I would like to wish all of you an Easter filled with happiness, peace and hope despite the sadness, strife or darkness anyone may be experiencing.
