Stunning displays of selflessness all over. Vote to raise taxes, give more power to the State, demonstrate to give up rights and effectively disinfranchise oneself as a Colorado voter. Brilliant.

I asked a rhetorical question and spoke to the actual demographics of deaths. I didn't make this up. I inserted no interpretive remarks or personal opinions. I said nothing about masks. I'm sorry for whatever loss you experienced, but I minimized none of that. What in the world about what i said precipitated the 8 paragraphs of personal attacks and name calling?

Given that the vast, vast vast majority of recorded deaths from COVID are over 65 and the overwhelming majority of that have been over 80, how many do you think had Midicare/Medicade

esarovprog. Sigh.

Given the weather pattern that's shaping up, CO and the West could be in for a long dry spell.

I can't begin to fathom the thought process that lead you to this. 😳

If one is utterly ok and all is above board, then caveat emptor. My limited experience with these sorts of things is that boundaries are difficult to maintain despite the best of intentions.

Temps dip below 70 on my island and out come the uggs, knit hats and fleece. Absolutely histerical.

I believe, I couldn't care less about pro sports in general. At one point I was a 15 straight years, 10 rows up, center court, NBA season ticket holder. Today, I can't tell you who or what's playing. I was slipping before, but using the games as forums for socio-political statements has pushed me over the edge into "done."

Just be aware that it takes roughly two weeks from the date of your flu shot for all those cute little antibodies to kick into high gear.

One of life's great pleasures, is that tits come with a person attached. All things being equal, I'll take natural. All things are rarely equal.

We will go on, and on, until the last enabler turns their backs.

I've seen a few ladies in hotels over the years. Tough to get too worked up or nostalgic given the general lack of ambience of the big national chains. I recall the first time I was booked at the Waldorf Astoria. Such anticipation! Proof I'd hit the big time. The glorious lobby...followed by a 9x9 room and bathroom like our summer home outhouse when I was a kid.

His physical appearance alone has always been a major turn off for me. I've never been able to watch anything he's in.

Which mighta been the last time a gal wore white boots like that in public.... 😉

pina coladas and getting caught in the rain....

Cool beans!! It's a revelation for many when they taste something close to fresh picked and not shipped in from Timbuktu. Now keep your nose peeled for Rocky Ford cantelopes and eyes for Olathe Sweet Corn. Our food supply chain is second to none. Unfortunately, in the process, we've nearly entirely sacrificed taste in favor of uniformity and ship-ability. This is not just fruits, but they're the most egregious. I can remember the night I was introduced to shrimp minutes old from the water and and thinking with my first bite: motherofgod, what in hell have I been eating all these years.

Perhaps. On the other hand, it could be that yours was just another irrelevant post, but you got called out. Like when people respond to a 411 request with something like "never seen her."

If you meet Buddha on the road, kill him.

The unfortunate truth is that to a large extent, "the hobby," as practiced across most of the US, depends upon anonymity for success. That is only found in large, diverse population centers. Hiding in plain sight so to speak. New Mexico has few sufficiently large concentrations of people. The reasons TOB is Colorado centric have been detailed elsewhere.

Travel is part of my hobby experience. As others have said, circumstances have found me far from home and I have made arrangements. I usually do so before traveling. I've vacationed with escorts and as I currently live far off the beaten path, had visitors in my home. When I lived in Denver, I limited my adventures to the front range. With the numbers of attractive gals in Denver, there really was never a reason to travel outside the metro area.

My god.

Fabulous. A rate thread. These are always so informative. Thanks.

No. It's not a hard ask. There are a large number of very reputable journal articles on masking and influenza that predate Covid19. Best articles in my opinion are: Cowling, B., et.al, 2010; Smith, J.D., et.al., 2016; Radonovich, L., J., et.al. 2019. Simple Google search will bring up articles with author and date these will get you started.

Good. Admitting that you're "a fucking mess," is the first step in healing.
