Maybe this is the Alan King who shows up? Except that he's been dead since 2004...

I wonder if he tells Myfanwy that he's the only gay in the village?

It was a tragic situation. My relatives in BC suffered through the heat dome, some of them in their late 80s. I understand the problem wasn't so much the daytime heat, but the fact that it didn't cool off enough at night. Not enough access to cooling centres, and older people not being checked on by neighbours and relatives.

And some of us (okay, probably just me) are still waiting to experience that other PDA - private displays of affection... 😆

Just what people look for in a masseur - lol.

Yes, I see what you mean. I was just using it as an example - the writer of the story may have meant 'accident' generically, as in a 'traffic accident' - even though the 'accident' may well have been intentional. It seems like an oxymoron, but I've heard people say things like, "she killed herself in a car accident" - I suppose it really comes down to how literal a person may be.

Won't everyone be rushing to get their taxes done that weekend?

At first I thought that too, but realized the headline probably is equivalent to saying 'suicide by cop' or 'suicide by overdose'. His death was evidently suicide by car crash, or car accident - but leaving out the word 'car' definitely made me scratch my head a bit.

He is unable to speak?

Did you bring donuts?

I imagine it is some type of perspective effect from the position of the camera. In those laughing photos his thighs are considerably bigger than his entire torso. Which is no laughing matter if that is the case. But I'm sure most people looking at those shots won't be focusing on the size of his thighs.

I'd be put off by that, but there are worse ways to use your hands....

While it may seem like an interesting concept from a client's perspective, I don't think there would be any providers who would trade their time for a critique. I would imagine anyone entering this line of work would feel confident enough in their abilities to proceed without soliciting feedback, or they may already be receiving feedback - even unsolicited feedback - from some of those who are paying to spend time with them.

Both...

Poor kid.

I much prefer heat days to snow days. Nothing to shovel.

From what I have read about the event, briefs aren't a requirement. Well, maybe at the restaurant.

Like a comet, briefly illuminating the evening skies and leaving a trail of memories in its wake. That's my sorry attempt at being poetic. I have never met him, but from everyone's comments he's an outstanding guy.

I know. I wasn't being serious...! 🤪🤣

I don't believe you did anything wrong from your description of the events. His reaction seems to be excessive, but it shows that even providers (who many people might assume are always super-confident) have their own vulnerabilities and sensitivities too.

Way tooooo sooooon.... 😂

100%

I'm not seeing an active profile... name change? Disappearance?

Understandable, but regardless of what a masseur advertises regarding health and vaccine status, the onus is on the client to protect himself. People can advertise any status whether true or not, so this reality should be considered when assessing the level of risk a client is willing to accept.

Don't be so negative. Maybe you'll be able to see them in concert, singing their reworked hits: Gimme, Gimme, Gimme (A man After 4pm) Gasping Queen Coding Me, Coding You Lay All Your CPR On Me Slipping Through My Bladder Super Pooper The Reaper Takes it All Watery-poo If It Wasn't For the Depends I Still Have Faith in Medicare I Have a Cream (A Rash that Stings)
