What's the best way to get a vaccine?

Care to be more specific?

How did you find the bartenders?

Rather attractive, I dare guess.

Wait... so I shouldn't have one beside my bed?

Are your investment vehicles qualified for 1099 exchanges?

I would think so (they’re rental properties and I don’t know any limitations off the top of my head).  But I’m happy with the units I have (two of them at least), so what’s the play there?

Kevin Slater

There are more slots available online as of now (Sunday 5pm).  Apparently it pays to just keep checking.

I can think of three former regulars from the 2005-2007 era who have gone on from being very popular twinks to great careers. All three earned their undergraduate degrees while escorting. One even got an MBA from a top school. There is definitely a life after escorting if you plan well and set goals, as these three did.

Completely agree.  Would also like to advance the argument that life after escorting may simply be a very comfortable retirement, not necessarily the need for another career.

The site still lists appointment slots, but it looks like you can't actually book them.  I'm going to unpin this thread and will update if I learn anything more.  It looks to me like Friday afternoons may be when they release what appointments they have, so that may be a good time to check.

Moderator's note:  Gents, let's take tone the rhetoric down a bit here.

Still slots open as of 9:30.

Still slots open. Sure they’ll fill fast.

Thanks, Sir. I signed up for the texts.

NYT reported two days ago that another large tranche is coming over from Europe and the allocations were announced yesterday.  I suspect to see a text message soon.

I’ve been trying to get an appointment through the NYC Health Dept. website for 3 days with no success. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all!

I live in NYC, if I’m taking an MTA bus it’s just habit at this point when I get on, and say “good morning/afternoon/hello/etc”. Similarly, getting off, I say “thank you, drive safe”. I do the same with cabs, Ubers. 🤷🏼‍♂️

What was that expression - “manners are the cornerstone of a civilized society”? I think we see every day on the news what happens when there is an absence of manners.

Oh, I do to.  But I use the NY shortcut: "Fuck your mother."

Don’t know if it counts, but there used to be lots of porn movie theaters.

OoC, same day on each year?  If one sample was summer and the other winter, that may account for some of the growth.

A client in Nassau County (Long Island) says the county health department is offering appointments, including the four week follow up.  Quick and easy to get in and out, he said.

nevermind.  Fargo tv not Fargo Movie.

As much as I loved the movie, the tv show (or rather, shows, as each season is independent) is even better.  Especially season two, with Jean Smart.

If you want it moved, you can hit the three dots in the upper right and 'report' an issue.

I’ve been with a Financial Advisor / Fraternity brother for 37 years. One investment I never made was anything to do with real estate—because, as he puts it, he just doesn’t understand it. 

Oh, the three properties I already own have done great by me.  Passive income means money while I sleep, let alone any capital appreciation.  It's just that they're all paid off and I want to step back up to the table (albeit without going through the painful mortgage process again).

I've participated in two Invision-based sites for a number of years and one thing I've learned is that the site Admin has a lot of control over the user editing panel.  A couple months ago, I asked what happened to the center-alignment button and @RadioRob , who had removed it, kindly put it back in.

I guess over the years we find our useful editing tools and then someone comes along and wonders who would ever need such a tool and -poof - it's gone. 💨

The happy times for me were a couple years ago when the other Invision board I infest allowed HTML commands.  Even the little I knew would usually get things in my post looking and acting the way I wanted them to.  Not sure if this board had them briefly after the conversion, or possibly has them right now in plain sight and I just haven't seen them.  🧐 

I like the blue-text-as-hyperlink function too, and hope it comes back.  

Oh, I don't know.  I've been asking for enforced Haiku for years now to no avail.

Just signed up to get the vaccine here in Denver. They do seem to be trickling through the public health services. I have a few friends who've been able to get it already. I'm on a waitlist apparently. They are only giving out the vaccine at a clinic every Wednesday. It doesn't look like I'll get it this Wednesday but maybe next. 

Curious any side effects for those who've taken it? COVID shots kinda kicked my butt but the Jynneos one doesn't seem to have major side effects. Is that right?

A tender bruise was it for me.  Then again, I never reacted to any of my Covid shots either.

Do we have any doctors or infectious disease experts on here? I’m wondering what the risk is for the person getting a massage if the masseur has had the monkeypox vaccine.

...and all gone in like five minutes.  17,000 slots.  I'll post again next time I hear they open up appointments.  One friend told me he got a slot yesterday just by continually checking the website (I guess if anyone cancels?) but that doesn't sound overly promising.
