Now that's pretty verbose... lol

I wonder who Theo shot....? ?

Dental hygiene is important on a variety of levels, especially for older individuals. In addition to the cosmetic/aesthetic issues that poor hygiene can cause, there can be physical health implications for those who do not take care of their dental/oral health - particularly infections that can affect the jaw bones and even get into the bloodstream. You may want to reach out again and reiterate that your concern is for his well-being and that you do not want to lose his friendship, but that you are willing to risk losing the friendship if it means keeping him safe. Just a thought.

I'm sorry to hear about the mass in your chest - I hope it ends up being something treatable and not serious. For the Northern Lights, one of the best places to see them is Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories. I think there are direct flights from Vancouver and Edmonton... but winter is the best time to go and it is very cold.

I'm curious how one equates someone questioning the wisdom of seeing a travelling provider during a pandemic with that person being a bully or a hypocrite? These are difficult times, and while everyone is free to choose to see whomever they wish, the risks posed by a travelling provider are likely higher than with others. I don't see how Big Dale pointing that out is in any way unkind... ?‍♂️

A quick internet search reveals a physical therapist in Babylon, circa 2950 BCE...

And in the really old, old days, it was all through clay tablets. But you had to know how to read cuneiform writing.

No, no. What I posted was a joke... lol. Kids cant walk until they are 9-12 months old regardless or circumcision, and the doctor was paid by 'tip' (foreskin), which was ripped off.... oh well, that was clearly a flop.

I was circumcised as an infant and it was so painful that I didn't walk for almost a year. Likely because my parents were so cheap that they found a doctor who only wanted to be given a tip. Total rip-off.

If he's a fat guy who thinks he's muscled I must be a muscled guy who thinks he's fat...lol

He carries his weight very well for someone who says they're 1850 pounds. That must be some sort of record ?

No photos here. Not until there is proof that getting your picture taken dosn't steal part of your soul. Same reason why I refuse to sneeze.

I bet even moreso when you fly one in a thunderstorm.

Amazing... you seem to bear a striking resemblance to Ben Franklin ?

Awesome. I guess that makes me an Arby's beef & cheddar sandwich.

Another red flad may be the spelling of 'Phoenix'... lol. But I am intrigued about how he determined the degree of his straightness and gayness to the hundredth of a percentage point. I don't think most ancestry DNA testing companies offer that sort of analysis.

I wish it was fear mongering, but it isn't. Even if certain flu strains are more lethal than covid, that is just one part of the data we need to consider. It does not suggest that covid is less dangerous overall. Keep in mind that many people who survive covid have long-lasting and serious consequences. How often does treating the flu require ventillator intervention, amputation, paralysis rehabilitation, et cetera? Many who survive covid are not only physically compromised afterwards, but also seriously traumatized. The scientific understanding about covid is continuing to evolve, but nothing I have seen suggests it should be taken lightly. In the very off chance that the majority of the scientific community is wrong about covid, protecting ourselves and others at this time by avoiding massage and other unnecessary social interaction is little more than an inconvenience for most people. But given that the scientific understanding is much more likely to be correct, protecting ourselves and others by avoiding massage and unnecessary social interaction will undoubtedly save lives and help bring an end to the pandemic.

Excuse my gallows humour, but should a prolapsed rectum unfortunately lead to someone's death, I think the most appropriare epitaph on the grave stone would be: "His Rectum Wrecked Him"

Just one more reason not to go to the gym...lol.

To each their own, but I would say the only good rosebud is the type that appears before an actual rose blooms, and the hershey-kiss-like chocolates made by Neilsen's here in Canada. Way too many euphemisms out there. Lets call a spade a spade... 'passing away' is dying, 'ethnic cleansing' is genocide, and a 'rosebud' is a PROLAPSED RECTUM. Granted, referring to it as a prolapsed rectum might not increase video subscriptions.

Which is infinitely better than Papa Smurf, in my humble opinion.

Perhaps potential clients should exaggerate in the opposite direction - add five years in age, add 25 pounds to their weight, and lose a couple of inches in height. If a provider is still open to meeting they can then get a pleasant surprise when the door is opened. I think I would rather underplay my attributes than to raise expectations that could ultimately be disappointing for both client and provider. But then again, I already have a tendency towards self-deprecation and could end up describing myself as a complete ogre or troll that should be living under a bridge somewhere. That may explain a lot now that I think of it... lol.

So I guess if you end up meeting it would give a whole new meaning to the term 'being ghosted'.

I imagine one answer may be respectful, considerate and dependable clients.
