Here it's currently-3 with a-22 wind chill. We aren't expected to get above 0 until around noon. Even for a corn Yankee like me this is cold.

I saw my first practitioner 40 years ago. I've seen a number of them over the years. Some more effective than others. I've experienced any number of modalities, possibly all of them at this point. My advice is this, work with someone who inspires you to think and work. As a prior poster said, expect homework and smart goals. If you aren't finding these in your experience move on. Be honest with the therapist about why you feel the relationship isn't working for you. A good therapist should accept this with no qualms. You might even consider asking that person to recommend another therapist. My best wishes to you.

Another guy working "the pout". Ugh

I celebrated with a very sweet, very handsome 22yo. God only knows how that happened.

I guess I'm one of those "made to bottom" types. The physical enjoyment ranges from great to totally mind blowing. The emotional enjoyment is really determined by how my partner and I connect.

Yes.

In my family it's considered cheating to use tape when wrapping a gift. This "tradition" has led to some really amusing wrap jobs.

I'm the 2nd son. I'll have to thank my brother when I see him for Christmas.

Google SEP retirement fund rules to give yourself a primer on self employed retirement options. There are tax advantages as well as long term investment opportunities.

I wish.

He is one hot Papi.

https://rent.men/MasculineLatin I tried searching the forum but didn't find anything.

Hmm, 6. Black & brown dress, winter boots, regular sneakers, mud/garden sneakers, sandals. For many years (about 23) I had a pair of Doc Martin sandals that I picked up in Italy in the 80s. My local cobbler finally told me he could not repair them any more. Broke my heart to let them go. Comfy, sturdy, unique and oddly stylish, I could wear them about 10 months of the year. I still miss them.

My current car is an automatic, first one I've owned in decades. I dread the coming winter. Nothing handles snow like a manual transmission. If you think manual transmission is out of step with the times, I'll pit a stick shift against an automatic in snowy weather any day. In my area winter road maintenance is lousy so yeah, it's still timely.

Honestly, I'm fine with the demise of glitter. I'm still finding traces of it that were loaded in a Christmas card some years ago. Ugh!

Keillor? Say it ain't so. Years ago I was a "handler" for celeb meet and greets. Part of my job, along with logistics, was to keep them functionally sober and out of trouble He was one of the few who didn't require special attention.

I once drove through Arkansas on my way to Louisiana. It was amazingly hot and dry. I pulled off a small road to watch a crop duster swooping and diving in the clear, very blue sky. Happy travels!

My family tree is fairly crooked. Bootlegging, mafia ties, union "activity", and a few other colorful episodes. The one that really effected me was my gay great grand uncle who was put through hell by my family's attempts to fix him. Imagine electo shock, injections of God knows what, institutionalization, you name it. He ended up killing himself.

Kissing has been mentioned by many as a must have item. I've recently been told by a few different escorts that I'm a very good kisser. I've also heard this from various dates over the years. I don't really have any secret techniques or tricks. I guess I think of kissing kind of like driving a stick shift. Start in 1st gear and move up as speed and conditions merit. So, what makes for a good kisser in your world?

Mmmm. Hot turkey sandwiches. Speaking of leftovers, suggestions for left over mashed potatoes? No croquettes please. ☺

Pretty sure. There was no shortage of cocktails available before dinner.

My grandmother used to serve a small glass of tomato juice as the 1st course. I might revive that tradition this year.

I can work with the gum habit. I'll just buy bubblishous stock.

Curtis Granderson. Check out his charity work. The guy is amazing.

I've been using Uber for a little over a year. I've only had one bad experience. At the end of the ride I spoke to the driver about the fact that he consistently drove at least 15 mph over the speed limit (at one point going 45 through a dense residential area speed limit 25 mph), consistently slammed on his breaks, overshot my destination by a block and had a dirty car and so he wasn't getting a tip. I then reported his poor driving habits to Uber. I suspect my customer rating took a hit.
