But his grasp of Roman numerals could be better...

To answer your question, yes. Hahaha. Eh? I wonder what modelling agency it was where they found Mr. Estonia, Mr. Croatia, Mr. Egypt, and Mr. Dominican Republic?

Almost as funny as Philomena Cunk!

I have my own herd of velum cattle. I've developed a breed that allows me to harvest the velum and the veal without harming the animal.... lol

I normally take a few sheets of velum with me to appointments, along with several sizes of quill pen. For the sake of time in the appointment, I don't begin illuminating the text until I get home.

And the family had already started to realize that by 1215. The year, not the lunch time.

Me thinks someone has a crush on Rosie...

I really don't care how he or anyone else chooses to spend their money, and he can seek all the attention he wants - it makes no difference to me. I was making a point about the relative cost of a $50M wedding to a centi-billionaire versus someone with much more modest means. $50M can buy a lot of things - housing for hundreds in need, scholarships for thousands of students, 200 Rolls Royces, or evidently a fancy wedding in Venice. But it is still a very small drop in the bucket for someone with his bank account - and relatively speaking - about the same as someone like me getting a pizza.

I think you might have missed the hole point of my comment

His 'splurge' could have been used to house hundreds of people, but relative to his net worth, it was proportionately the same as someone with $100,000 spending $20 on a wedding. It just goes to show how vast the reality gap is between the uber wealthy and most of society.

If you like live country music, isn't it Nashville where you can visit the Grand Hole Opry?

Each of us is a work in progress

Coincidentally, I need someone to paint my house. But his hourly rate is probably too high.

My question was just a bad joke

Does he also go by the name Amal? Apparently, if you've seen Juan you've seen Amal....

Happy Birthday!!

I would say that a person's level of fitness is more important than appearance. You're worth the effort of remaining healthy and well for as long as possible. If you give up and let yourself go, it can be a slippery slope towards a much lower quality of life down the road. I don't think starving yourself is wise in any case, but some type of reasonable physical activity each day is probably good for most people. I don't know your age, but there is nothing wrong with your body by the looks of it. Perhaps there is a difference between the fantasy that is created by spending time with a provider you see as being 'ideal', and the reality that most people in the world will never measure up? Ironically, as I write this I am just polishing off most of a large pizza...

As opposed to me protecting my modesty when I go jogging...

@MysticMenace I think you forgot another group of celebrity brothers...

I think it's completely at your discretion. No one should pressure anyone for additional details. Some people are more open to share than others, and I think it's important that everyone respect each other's boundaries. Now, please DM me and tell me who the provider is and all the juicy details. LOL.

Which is why I'm still the same age I was in 2012.... lol. As soon as I set foot south of the border I age exponentially.

Some things to think about - make sure you have travel insurance. Getting sick in another country can get very expensive depending on the country. If you haven't been out of the lower 48, you might want to do a foray across the northern border as a first international trip. It's a huge country and it has a lot of diversity. Plus we tend to be friendly and the services here are decent. There wouldn't be as much culture shock either, though Montreal and Quebec City offer the French experience. You could do an Alaskan cruise out of Vancouver, or a Maritimes/New England cruise that leaves from Quebec City. For cruising as a solo traveler, don't be wary of booking an interior stateroom unless you're claustrophobic. You'll find you'll spend less time in your room than you might expect. And watch for deals where the single-supplement is lower than double the double occupancy per person rate. I've gone on cruises where I've only had to spend 10% more to have a stateroom to myself. I've never done a single-occupancy cabin because they only have a single-sized bed in most cases, and I like to have more space. Financially it can make sense to get a package that includes tips, internet and drinks, because those add up over the course of a cruise. And if for budget reasons you need to decide between an interior stateroom with the package versus an exterior stateroom without the package, I would opt for the interior with the package. And I have never seen the point in spending for an exterior stateroom unless it has a balcony. Having a port hole doesn't justify the additional cost to me. And some of those rooms are so close to the waterline you can hear the waves hitting the hull all night. That has happened to me a couple of times when I've been 'upgraded' from an interior to exterior stateroom - the interior would have been better. Most cruises offer specialized restaurants on board for an additional charge. I've never tried them because the food in the main dining room is usually better than what I could make myself at home, and the variety of choice is generally good depending on the cruise line. I would advise against doing any non-cruise company shore excursions that venture far from the port because if you are not back on board by the departure time, the ship will not wait. But they are obligated to wait if you are on a ship excursion that gets delayed for some reason. Depending on your destination, the port might be quite far from the sights. Congratulations on your retirement!

I would encourage him to eat more of his baking - those are some slim legs.

I don't believe anyone here is defending pedophiles. Objectively, AW's life is much worse now than it was before. That can MAYBE be considered 'sad' on a purely objective level. However, the fact that he victimized at least one person - and more than likely was involved in all sorts of illegal sexual activities - means that his present circumstances are just. He did this to himself, and he will pay the price for the decisions he made. But rather than seeing his situation as 'sad', I see it as a completely avoidable waste. He seemed to have everything going for him and he threw it all away. Maybe that is what the tears were about. I don't know if they would have been for his victim, but one never knows. Hopefully the silver lining - if there is one - will be the arrest of additional people who prey upon minors, by using the evidence obtained through AW's investigation/interrogation.
