  1. Where I work the kind of talk is generally not tolerated. Even if they were just teasing the trainer or they are ignorant people that say ignorant things, my HR would handle it.

    Now that he's gone, it's your choice what to do.

     

    Will they see the trainer as a disgruntled employee that wanted to stir some sh!t? It worked. He didn't have to spill everything. Sorry that you have to go through it.

  2. One male model I follow talked about slimy behavior by some photographers as well as the low pay.

     

    So kudos to this guy. At least he seems to earn a living.

     

    Why is he successful? He admits learning what it takes for a good shot. And don't you expect romance books sell with him on the cover? He is selling romance content, not J/O content.

  3. I've been getting more and more text messages concerning one scheme or another.

     

    I get a few cold calls selling whatnot. Sometimes they leave a recording, whether it was a live person or a robocall. But usually not.

     

    I block pretty much all the numbers.

     

    Sometimes I'll do an internet search which ends up confirming my decision to block.

  4. Our PBS station played a history of ABBA tonight. Kudos to Australia where ABBA became a hit 18 months after winning Eurovision. After they caught on Down Under, record companies in the UK took another look at them, after which ABBA was promoted in the UK and then America. The PBS special played a video of the winning Eurovision performance of Waterloo.

  5. I don't understand this comment at all. The Strand is a New York institution. It has goodwill in droves due to its long history as a good source of books, new and old. Other [iSPOILER][/iSPOILER]bookstores gave up when the Strand hung in there. They earned the goodwill they have. Any book store still in existence can do the same thing that the Strand did and call for help. The response will be determined by how much goodwill they have earned.

    Same situation out in LA, or actually Pasadena, how we risk losing a venerable bookstore. Customers are responding. We love Vromans.

     

    I didn't know of Strand bookstore until this week. It played a key role in a Netflix show being discussed under TV/Streaming. Hopefully the show will help add customers.

    For fun

    I'll order from Strand a copy of the book the show is based on.

    Although the pic regarding Netflix new shows tricked me into believing it was about two gay guys falling in love, in the end I really enjoyed it. As noted, the dialogue is clever and the acting is very good. It did keep me guessing about what was going to happen, tho I knew what I wanted to happen. I would definitely recommend watching it. Thanks for putting it out there.

    P.S. Definitely liked a lot of the chosen music. I was surprised (I do not know why) that they were given permission to use JM's " River". I think because it was not the sort of production I would think she would go for.

     

    (Dash & Lily cont'd)

    Glad you enjoyed it. I liked it quite a lot.

     

    Yes! The song River and all music sampled were very smart and pleasing IMO .

    That J.M. might want to block using River would be a head scratcher for me. I'd hope she might like the girl energy of the story. And the lyrics to River fit Lily so well and ultimately were a foreshadowing of the outcome of her daring ploy:

    i'm so hard to handle

    I'm selfish, and im sad

    Now ive gone n lost the best baby

    That i ever had

    Oh i wish i had a river

    I could skate away on

     

    The Netfix buzz I saw on Twitter was guy/girl. They were each very sweet and likeable characters, played so well.

     

    The supporting drag and M/M characters were pretty good. For me, I didn't expect LGBTQ content.
