Were any of the women overcome by the vapors?

Only Senatrix Lindsey Graham.

I miss the days when people didn't sit in their car for 30-60 minutes, engine running and windows up, checking their phones while it's sunny and 72 out.....

Who the hell leaves the house when the weather is that terrible?

For a couple of months this summer, I had to drive my mom to physical therapy.  Because the sessions were just 45 minutes & there wasn't a good hangout spot near (like Starbucks), I just waited in the car, engine off, windows down.  At least I could park where the sun wasn't hitting me directly.  It's called sucking it up, no big whoop.  When I see what you're talking about, I wonder how the hell did we ever get so soft.

We stopped dying young.   Instead we are giving youthful death to the entire human race.

Speak for yourself.  I've been that soft since the day I was born.  I didn't have to 'get' that way.

• The innocence of being new to the gay lifestyle (once the innocence is gone....)
• Going dancing in an actual gay bar/club (the gay cowboy bar was my hangout)
• Letting a total stranger talk me into hooking up in his car after a drink
• Life before social media, this is the extent of social media I do....Facebook is evil
• Gas below $2
• Yesteryear gay porn stars (Billy Herrington, Rico Dulce, etc)

Leaving a total stranger lying in a parking lot after you've pushed him out the door and driven off with his car

I watch a soap, a Spanish "sobremesa" ("table talk," given that label because they're on in the afternoon after the big 2pm meal).  While it's better than American soaps and latino telenovelas (imo), I can't say it's great art or anything.  But I'm hooked, and it does help keep my Spanish up.

Which Spanish sobremesa are you watching, @BSR? I am hooked on Servir y Proteger myself. Great cop-related show.

LOL, that's the one I want to watch.  Unfortunately, since I stopped following it around episode #80, I'd have to watch almost a thousand episodes to catch up -- that's some serious binging.  But I'm tempted because two of my big crushes have joined the cast:  Ignacio Montes (Jota) and Luis Fernandez (Ivan).  I watch "Dos vidas," which is OK.  I'm in a Facebook group where everyone complains about how awful the show is.  1) it's not that bad, and 2) why do you keep watching?  "Dos vidas" has a limited run, should wrap up early 2022.  Maybe then I'll start catching up on SyP.

If you spot "Al filo de la ley" (it's available on TVE, no VPN necessary), it's definitely worth watching.  It's your typical law office drama, but Argentine actor Leonardo Sbaraglia totally makes the show.  Of course, he's as handsome as ever, but in this show his character is just killer-charming.  You can also laugh at his abysmal attempt at a Spanish accent where his lisp floats in & out and his porteño inflection is constantly kicking in.  I'm on ep. #11, only 13 total.  I'll be so bummed when I finish

I had to post a pic of Ignacio Montes, just 'cuz.

I miss how relatively calm and uneventful the 2010s were.
