    Me neither but that's changing in 3.5 weeks! I saw Inndulge was fully booked so I just made reservation at desert paradise across the street. Hope to meet some of you guys! My second shot is in 9 days so will be vaccinated by then but will still be wearing face mask, etc.

    If it's not expired yet, I put the compromised card in my dummy wallet so in case I get mugged that's the wallet I give them.

    Another update: Texted with the social worker. She has reached out to the names I provided. Unfortunately, the ones she spoke to had no knowledge of any relatives nor did they know of anyone who might have POA. If she locates someone she’ll let me know.

    Thank you, Cooper. This is really not sounding good at all, but I think we need to keep up hope. I wish there was something I/we could do.

    Update Friday, March 12th. I sent the social worker a few additional names of associates of daddy’s. Hopefully, these leads can turn up someone related to him or someone who might have POA. Thanks to those sending me this information.
     
    Daddy’s condition remains the same. No change from Wednesday’s report.
     
    It’s now over 2 weeks since the police found daddy on the floor of his home. Other than keeping him in our thoughts, prayers, or sending good karma, we just have to patiently wait for the healing/recovery process to kick in.
     
    I truly appreciate all the concern and love you’ve shown for daddy/Guy Fawkes. He means a lot to us. I’ll do my best to keep you posted.
     
    Cooper ❤️

    Sadly, a lot of people now don't have a clue as to who Hooboy was.

    Before covid-19, I would always make it a priority to attend the wake or funeral when a friend or close friend's parent passed away. This past year, I've mainly sent condolence cards with a short handwritten message to close friends whose parents passed away. For FB friends, I write a short comment (similar to what Epigonos wrote) on their FB tribute.
    Personally, I think the toughest time is after the funeral when it really hits that the person is gone.

    I agree with Epigonos. It is too easy, even if well intentioned, to say the wrong thing. I would add that a helpful gesture is calling a grieving friend some time after their loss. Friends have told me that they were overwhelmed with funeral details and expressions of sympathy at the time of a family member's death. Then they never hear from anyone afterwards. I try to call friends about two weeks after their loss just to ask, "How are you?"

    Many years ago my best friend (met when we were 6) lost her dad and a few months later her mom. Many months later she told me that some friends invited her to reach out if she needed, and others just did... and what helped most were the ones who just arrived, and either just quietly helped, or brought pastries/coffee and sat/listened, and repeated... and she slowly began to move forward again and looked forward to those friends showing up. She said it wasn't the words, but just the presence that helped her move forward from the grief... We used something similar with my mom when my Dad died, and with my partners step-mom when his Dad died. In all three situations just being there worked better than any words I could find.

    kingsley88 got a reaction from + ButchAtl in Gay hookups, better now or then?   
    I think the only thing I miss is the art of flirtation. It's better done in person versus through an app. This is why I always go to a gay friend's bday/holiday party (though I did notice in recent years that after a few hours a lot of the young guys would start discreetly checking their smartphones..)
    I started going to gay bathhouses in the early 2000s and from what I recall, if you have a nice body or a cute face, you can easily find a hookup. For others, that may not be the case.

    Flying on a 747 plane where there is one large screen in the middle and everyone had to watch the same movie(s) throughout the flight. There were no small TVs back then in front of each seat. For other forms of entertainment, you can ask the flight attendant for a deck of cards.
     
    Having 1 landline phone number for a family of 6. We didn't have callerID back then so whenever the phone rang we always answered it! In addition, long distance domestic and international calls were $$$ (I grew up in NJ and recall some phone numbers that had the same area code were considered long distance too.)
     
    Classified ads (Personals) where you have to call a phone number and leave them a voicemail message.
