  1. I'd like to know the same.
  2. I've just recently had a provider I saw in the summer of 2018 pop up in my "people you may know" stream on a social media platform. It's definitely him, and it's his real account and his real name. We have no mutual friends, and we've never had any dealings with each other outside of our session that afternoon. I was baffled when I first saw it. Would Facebook be rummaging through our phone records? His number would have been in my phone for awhile, but I dropped that phone and ruined it in 2020. His number isnt on my current phone. This just happened a couple of weeks ago. Any ideas? The ways we're being tracked these days is something else.
  3. I'm genuinely glad to hear that you were not harmed, and I'd be a huge liar if I said I'd never had anything like this happen in my lifetime, but at some point I decided to start taking the red flags seriously and pursue safer avenues. I've got an occasional fb here in my town. We're about two years apart, both over 50, and while I don't see him often, when I do he always has a story like the one in the OP. The last one was really something else. Seems he chatted with a "young redneck kid" on Grindr and invited him over to his house for drinks and entertainment. Well, he said his guest was acting "shifty"--after he brought in their drinks he kept asking for more: more ice cubes, a glass of water, etc. He kept sending him out of the room. The guy I know said the next thing he knew, he was waking up on the floor in a heap not sure who or where he was and only partially clothed in a tshirt. When he started coming to, it was then that he realized his wallet, keys, and car were all gone. He was "almost positive" he wasn't raped. The police didn't want to help because they told him it was obvious this was just a "bad boyfriend" scene, how could he even prove the guy wasn't his friend, etc. I've warned him before about all the scammers out there, and given the amount of whatever substance that kid put in his drink to knock him out, he could have ended up dead instead of just unconscious. With the help of a friend, they found his abandoned car, keys, and empty wallet. I still doubt his desire for these types of boys is going to go away, even after all this. We live in a place where there is lots of good dick to be had. No need to risk harm from a questionable hookup. Make good choices. Good luck to the OP moving forward.
  4. Well, primarily because the door to the arcade was open, and the clerk was peering back there. Only one guy was in the arcade, and he did not appear terribly clean. If the door had been closed, I would have waited around to see if more would come in, but I wasn't comfortable and left.
  5. This apple is quite appealing 🤣🙄
  6. Just following up that I wouldn't recommend this place. I was in and out in less than ten minutes. Just saving somebody else the hassle. I went during a weekday lunch hour.
  7. My mother passed away a couple of years ago, and we did prepare an obituary for her local newspaper. The circumstances were such that we felt we should since it's a small town where most of the members of her demographic (she was over 90) still read the paper and were not even online at all. It was over $90 IIRC. I had remembered that they were expensive, but it seems they've gone way up. The obit to which I'd referred in the OP was the one on the funeral home website.
  8. I want to reiterate that I appreciate all of your replies. Each is helpful. I don't know for sure what he desired. He joked with us following his second husband's funeral that he wanted banner planes flying overhead before and after his funeral, but this clearly was in jest while he, I, and his kids were in the car. Funny story: his second husband passed away in 2010. The kids and I were staying with my friend, so it was up to us to collect the flowers, etc, following the service. This was a funeral like nothing I've ever seen. The deceased, a native of Oklahoma, had called for the orchestral version of the theme to the musical Oklahoma to be played at the beginning of the service. My friend's husband had, unbeknownst to me, been a collector of antique silver pieces, and he opted to have his ashes contained in a silver chocolate pot. My friend's daughter and I were getting the last of what was to return home with us: her with a huge spray of flowers, me with Gordon's ashes. I remarked as we were walking down the aisle together to the car how heavy that chocolate pot was, and without a beat she followed, "well, Dad said Gordon's gained weight recently" 🤣😅 I said, "girl, seriously, if you make me crack up, trip, and spill these ashes, I swear!!"😂 All of our associations through the years were filled with conviviality, humor, laughter, and love. So that's what I'll take from all of this. Thanks, guys...
  9. Thanks for each of your replies. I appreciate them all. The funeral home had a page for tributes, so I did indeed write a tribute myself a few days back. Thanks again.
  10. Two weeks ago, a close friend of over 30 years passed away. His children provided a two-sentence "obituary" at the funeral home web site stating his name, date of birth and death, and place of birth. Nothing more. There is no service planned, and this is not abnormal, I know and understand. But to provide no more of an obituary than two sentences has really rubbed me the wrong way. My friend's adult children, both in their thirties, have known he was gay for years and accepted it with no shade whatsoever. They've been a part of his life, visiting him every year from the time they were little to the present with their own kids, happily. He had two late husbands he survived, both of which had quite large funerals that his son and daughter both attended. As I approach my 60s, perhaps I'm just more attuned to what is getting closer for myself, but honestly I think I would have had the same reaction at age 30: you don't have enough respect for your parent to write a decent tribute that honors his life accomplishments in a couple of paragraphs that might take you 20 minutes to compose? My friend was no wallflower. He was fun loving, kind, helpful, funny, accomplished, and was beloved by many. Doesn't any decent person deserve more than two sentences for an obituary?
  11. Yep, that's it, and literally in the middle of nowhere, but all it takes is just the right wayward traveler off I95 to make it a memorable event. 🙂
  12. I'm late to this party, but I could write quite a lot about this topic. I don't live in a large city, so thankfully we have one store that has booths, four of which have a gh. There used to be three stores, but the county closed two of them. The one that remains is in a small incorporated township that the county allows to do its own thing. We pay a flat fee to get in, and no one on staff comes back to bother you about feeding bills into the videos. As was noted upthread, typically one sees a guy come in and follows him into an adjoining booth. Speaking personally, I have got to see the guy. If he's not attractive to me, it's a no. Most guys coming in for head are bi and married and simply don't get oral from their wives or girlfriends. They greatly appreciate good head from another willing male. Also stated upthread, someone switching from mouth to ass is extremely uncool. Yep, it's happened to me, and I left. I will say, too, that ours attracts every kind of guy you can imagine including some so up in years that they can barely walk. Attractive younger men and tourists come in routinely. It's a crap shoot. You never know if a trip there will be a boom or a bust, and tbh that is a part of the appeal. I will also add, since some of you may travel I-95 by car, that there is a bookstore just over the NC-SC line about one mile south of the atrocity known as South of the Border. This place is unassuming and in the middle of nowhere. It's an older place and looks like something out of the 80s inside with booths in the back arcade. It's hit-or-miss, too, but here is why I *always* stop there if I'm in the area: military going to and from Ft Bragg (army) and Camp Lejeune ( marines) are well aware of it and often veer off the interstate for a quick blow. When I've gotten lucky there, it's been very, very good. Didn't mean to write a book!
  13. I live on the eastern US coast. Every year we have multiple drownings due to rip currents. As was stated up thread, it's a tragedy because these people don't understand how to swim out of them.
