It's been reported that a new world record has likely been set for the highest sea temperature. A buoy off of Manatee Bay near the Florida Keys recorded a water temperature five feet below the surface of 101.1F (38.4C) on Monday night, after recording 100.2F (37.9C) the night before. The previous record of 99.7F (37.6C) was recorded in Kuwait Bay back in 2020.

She was a very troubled individual and an abuse survivor. There is never any reason for being hateful, but she had some serious issues going on. She did not seem to have a filter and would often backtrack and apologize for things she said or wrote shortly after. As for the horrible post about white people or non-Muslims, she later clarified that she was trying to get herself kicked off Twitter, or whatever platform that was posted on. Sadly, she often was provocative in a way that hurt people, and I think that goes back to the saying that 'hurt people hurt people'. I doubt anyone understood the darkness she must have lived with - I was never a fan, and was revolted by certain things she said, but I have tried to see how much of her actions and words evidently came from a place of profound pain.

I don't know. She's taller than me, so she has that advantage. Well maybe no longer..

Hopefully people are just very busy. But I wonder if the nastiness that is often part of some posts might be a reason to no longer engage - life can be negative enough as it is. I really find absences disappointing because many of the enlightened posts came from providers, and reading dialogue between providers gave an insight into their experiences and dynamics. Much more than ad copy or photos can offer. I'm glad to see some still post regulary and I enjoy what they write even if I don't always agree with what is written. I respect them. I only hope others like AnthonyPhilly and the masseur Kenzo, might return to post again. Each seemed to have a level of kindness that came through their posts. I also wish BigDale the client would return one day because I found him to be no-nonsense and hilarious in many of his online interactions. I haven't been on the forum long enough to be harkening back to the 'glory days'...lol

I suggest providers start travelling with portable CT scanners and a variety of sliderules to determine what possibilities may exist from client to client. If a polyp happens to be located perhaps part of the visit could be billed to insurance...lol. And the accompanying CT technician could be called upon for four-hand masages or other activities better undertaken as a group. CTs do create a lot of radiation but are pretty quiet. MRIs don't create the radiation but are very noisy and could easily wake the neighbours. I've evidently overthought this, haven't I?

At first I read that you put your grandkids under your feet, and thought, "TMI, but some families are obviously closer than others"

Does that mean I shouldn't remove the paper bag I normally wear over my head when I leave the house?

Agreed. And I think the other factor is that the criminal proceedings did not meet the burden of proof required to convict, which would have been beyond a reasonable doubt on an objective level. But whether or not he is a sleaze bag is purely subjective for most people, and society rarely uses the criminal standard in its assessment of those accused of things like assault. In the public eye I doubt the standard even rises to the level of a balance of probabilities, whether it was more likely than not that an assault took place, which would be the standard used if a civil proceeding against Spacey takes place. In any case, whether he was guilty of anything or not, these events will follow him wherever he goes. He will always be known as the actor who was accused of (blank).

I was born long after the movie came out, and never read the play or saw the show... but when I traveled to Spain I knew that I should avoid the plain because of the rain.

Is that an endorsement for Aiden? Is there more info you are willing to share? Thanks

The Irish singer's family announced her death today, but no cause was indicated. What is known is that she had been struggling deeply since the death of her son last year due to suicide. May she RIP.

I've never had the opportunity to explore Queens. But whenever I think of it I think of Flushing, and whenever I think of Flushing....

Perhaps those aren't the calves he's referring to. Maybe for the 90 minute option he will also massage your baby cow, if you have one. You know, turn it into Wagyu beef.

You beat me to it! Lol.

I've always liked the buffet at the Cosmopolitan, and despite the name of the restaurant, I've found that all of the cutlery (including the spoons) is above reproach.

According to urban legend, Jack Benny was either on the ship or had planned to be on the ship. I'm just glad that Keith Richards was nearby and helped get a number of people to safety.

I think the reality is (probably) that the vast majority of people have never, and would never, pay someone to spend time with them. Whether they are making millions or just squeezing by. Even $25 for gas in an age when people connect over vast distances for free through the internet. Many people have never likely considered a paid arrangement to be an option, either out of fear, stigma, or based on the fact that they hookup with others easily without any financial incentives required or expected. Is it possible this individual assumed you were not in the business of taking donations? If he contacted you knowing your line of work and then still acted as if you should meet up with him on other terms, then it's probably better that you found that out sooner than later, and before agreeing to meet. BTW I wouldn't be too concerned about what people spend on other things, whether that happens to be Tiffany products, fancy trips, expensive watches... it all comes down to priorities. Unfortunately it can be difficult to connect with others whose priorities align with our own. If we pin our sense of satisfaction on expecting people to behave differently than what their priorities dictate, it is hard to avoid disappointment.

One of the risks of being too adorable. I know that firsthand myself... NOT! LOL

I wonder why he says he had the covid vaccination in the beginning of his ad, but at the very end it indicates he didn't. Does the vaccine wear off THAT quickly? 🤣

Maybe he has nine lives and is incarcerated for being a cat burglar?

Just reading your post gave me heart palpitations - my Saturday night consisted of sitting in front of the TV with a pot of macaroni and cheese. The disaster for me was not soaking the pot in the sink and now having to scrub really heard this morning,

That's really cool. Do you know where the family originated? I'm assuming likely Eastern Europe or Western Russia?

I'm not sure how that could ever correlate, let alone represent causation. If it did there would probably be conversions happening constantly... LOL

Have them move to a scummy neighbourhood and watch to see if it becomes gentrified and livable?

Do you think he should be promoted to LieutenantColonelFur?
