But in case no one is paying attention, there is a devastating, highly contagious virus attacking our country, and the painful ramifications of this tragedy are going to be felt for a very long time. The whole point of social distancing and "shelter in place" is to save lives. This is no time for a cock sucking party. 

I have no doubts you also are a devoted cock sucker, that is why If I were you I would not use your line of attack against Oliver.

And now you worded the issue as an attack to our country? Are you getting infected by Trumpian propaganda?

WilliamM/Buddy2, sometimes you write things that don't make any sense, and I wonder if something unknown is causing this?

That may be because you are totally involved with yourself

Or perhaps you misunderstood that "I realize the new board TROLL may be near brain death" is a reference to Lucky and not Latbear4lbk. Feel free to mock me all you like, Buddy2. It seems to bring you joy, and there are too many in pain right now, so I don't mind.

Please don't be a pussy, and don't ask me to be one. Won't happen.

I don't feel in any way that I "attacked" Oliver. But I do know that I pricked Lucky, and that was my intention. Lucky begs to be pricked.

The PS Event is commonly known as OVERBLOWN HYPE. (That's right, capitals and bold.) The organizers want/need ESCORTS to be enticed to come. Most of us know the deal. Otherwise, it's a bunch of old, not-so-pretty, fat people eating and drinking around a pool in 100º heat, fantasizing about sucking cock and the good old days. People who have no rocks in their head know what this party is. IMO, the PS Event is not worth dying over or risking infection, of escorts and/or their customers.

In my own way, I created sarcastic humor inspired by historical reference to point to the fact that the posthumous HOST, Oliver, has not said one word since the virus broke in the U.S. on the PS Event thread that he started, the thread that all interested members are paying attention to:  2020 Palm Springs Weekend! #17

Party enthusiasts seem to be scrambling to figure out what to do. And I'm observing that the HOST is without public comment, reminding me of Nero who fiddled while Rome burned. I'll let interested readers decide what they think of that.

You clearly attacked Oliver. It is not being a pussy to recognize when someone is a jerk.

[RockHardNYC]

I'd rather be perceived a jerk (online) than be a host who knowingly puts his guests in harm's way.

C’mon. Who is making such a comparison. Can you just accept that your wording (i call it attack) was a poor choice? Labeling someone as a cocksucker with a negative demeanor is homophobic. And saying that the nation is under attack is... fill the blank.

I call your words a poor choice. Will it affect my life or the situation? No.

How simplistic. I don't agree with you. I'm not homophobic (that's actually kind of funny). Words are filled with nuance and complexity. I hope you're teaching your students to use their brains.

Fill in the blank? What the fuck is that? What city do you live in?

As a New Yorker, I'm listening to our governor, Andrew Cuomo. I've been out on the streets in my neighborhood. Let me tell you a fact: NYC is about to be devastated. And it's just the beginning.

Many stores are already closed. Streets are almost empty of people. Grocery stores and pharmacies have many empty shelves. Hospitals are nearly overwhelmed. Trump just approved a warship to come in and be used as a makeshift hospital.

Cuomo is not taking the Trump route, he's speaking as painfully honest as he can. He says August may be the clear month for the virus, if all goes well now.

This reality will be DEVASTATING. Businesses will die. Thousands if not millions of people will be without jobs, money, and healthcare. What alternate, cock-sucking reality are you living in?

Oliver has no unique position on Daddy's other than the Palm Springs Weekend.

We both post photos on the Gallary. But, I barely know him, other than liking each other's photos. He is a good guy. 

 

 

[Lucky]

RockHard is simply posturing here. He doesn't care about anyone but himself. His attacks on Oliver have been vicious. He attacks me because I contradict his shit. I suggest we ignore him because he loves the attention.

No one is waiting on Oliver to tell them what to do. Attendees are grown men with minds of their own and will make the right decision about their plans. They don't need me, Oliver, or The Ego to tell them what to do.

Now the fact is that these are troubling times. This thread should be put  to rest.

LOL. I love the audacity of you thinking you know me. You don't.

I have plenty of emails from you begging to meet me in New York City, but I constantly refused. When you finally asked to meet with my son, I knew I had to draw the line. I told you no and explained why not. I said everyone I know who knows you, who has met you, advised me that you can't be trusted. You've been sour and angry ever since I shared that truth with you.

I prick you because you are a prick and you behave like a prick. You are a QUEEN HYPOCRITE with no credibility. I have a quote from Daddy that he banned you permanently because he was "tired of your shit." And there I was trying to get you re-instated. Good grief. Thankless prick.

Thank you, Oliver, for doing the right thing. Notice of cancellation has recently been posted on the other board.

Hopefully, next year will be a different story with many happy endings. 

 

 

[Lucky]

RockHard cannot take being questioned. Now he makes up lies. He's Donald Trump- the gay version.

Huh.

A few hours ago you called the Palm Springs Weekend "Overblown Hype" in all caps. I haven't been consistent either on this weekend, but I fully admit it.

 

I am with Lucky on this now.

@RockHardNYC's favorite cocksucker has sent an email making official the PS cancellation.

Buddy2, you are weird. You say some weird shit.

Just because I find the HYPE humorous, never have I ever wanted the Event to fail or not continue in the future. The absolute truth is, no matter the pricking and the jabbing, I've always supported the party and encouraged escorts to go. I have never advised an escort not to go, even when the escort was on the fence.

I'm delighted that Lucky is all bent out of shape over this thread. He deserves to be bent.

Well, his ignoring me took all of ten minutes. Classic hypocrite. The QUEEN HYPOCRITE.

LOL!  And the beat goes on...

Why would an escort ask you about whether or not to attend the Palm Springs  Weekend?

 

Come on!

I can't reveal all my secrets online. Give me a break. One thing is for sure, I am trustworthy while Lucky is not. It helps to have a spine.

[Buddy2]

You seem Trumpian in praising yourself.

Why?

Of course, I am not the first person who noticed.

[RockHardNYC]

In the past, I have been critical of others who posted entire "news articles of importance," believing it was a waste of Oz's bandwidth. Then today I was reminded, not all news websites are available for free. Therefore, I am changing my opinion. For news sites that aren't free, I will never again criticize someone posting the entire article (as opposed to a simple link).

With that in mind, here is an opinion piece from today's NY Times, written by Dr. Cornelia Griggs, a Pediatric Surgery Fellow at The NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan.

She is writing from the front lines of this virus tragedy.

A New York Doctor’s Coronavirus Warning: The Sky Is Falling

 

A New York Doctor’s Coronavirus Warning: The Sky Is Falling

Alarmist is not a word anyone has ever used to describe me before. But this is different.

By Cornelia Griggs

Dr. Griggs is a pediatric surgery fellow.
March 19, 2020

I’ve had hard conversations this week. “Look me in the eye,” I said to my neighbor Karen, who was spiraling to a dark place in her mind. “I make this personal promise to you — I will not let your children die from this disease.” I swallowed back a lump in my throat. Just the image of one of our kids attached to a tube was jarring. Two weeks ago our kids were having a pizza party and watching cartoons together, running back and forth between our apartments. This was before #socialdistancing was trending. Statistically, I still feel good about my promise to Karen because children do not seem to be dying from Covid-19. There are others to whom I cannot make similar promises.

A few days later, I got a text from another friend. She has asthma. “I’m just saying this because I need to say it to someone,” she wrote. She asked that if she gets sick and has a poor prognosis, to play recordings of the voice of Josie, her daughter. “I think it would bring me back,” she said. Josie is my 4-year-old’s best friend.

Today, at the hospital where I work, one of the largest in New York City, Covid-19 cases continue to climb, and there’s movement to redeploy as many health care workers as possible to the E.R.s, new “fever clinics” and I.C.U.s. It’s becoming an all-healthy-hands-on-deck scenario.

The sky is falling. I’m not afraid to say it. A few weeks from now you may call me an alarmist; and I can live with that. Actually, I will keel over with happiness if I’m proven wrong.

Alarmist is not a word anyone has ever used to describe me before. I’m a board-certified surgeon and critical care specialist who spent much of my training attending to traumas in the emergency room and doing the rounds at Harvard hospitals’ intensive care units. I’m now in my last four months of training as a pediatric surgeon in New York City. Part of my job entails waking in the middle of the night to rush to the children’s hospital to put babies on a form of life support called ECMO, a service required when a child’s lungs are failing even with maximum ventilator support. Scenarios that mimic end-stage Covid-19 are part of my job. Panic is not in my vocabulary; the emotion has been drilled out of me in nine years of training. This is different.

We are living in a global public health crisis moving at a speed and scale never witnessed by living generations. The cracks in our medical and financial systems are being splayed open like a gashing wound. No matter how this plays out, life will forever look a little different for all of us.

On the front lines, patients are lining up outside of our emergency rooms and clinics looking to us for answers — but we have few. Only on Friday did coronavirus testing become more readily available in New York, and the tests are still extremely limited. Right next to my office in the hospital, a lab is being repurposed with hopes of a capability to run 1,000 tests a day. But today, and likely tomorrow, even M.D.s do not have straightforward access to testing across the country. Furthermore, the guidelines and criteria for testing are changing almost daily. Our health care system is mired in situational uncertainty. The leadership of our hospital is working tirelessly — but doctors on the ground are pessimistic about our surge capacity.

Making my rounds at the children’s hospital earlier this week, I saw that the boxes of gloves and other personal protective equipment were dwindling. This is a crisis for our vulnerable patients and health care workers alike. Protective equipment is only one of the places where supplies are falling short. At our large, 4,000-bed New York City hospital, we have 500 ventilators and 250 on backup reserve. If we are on track to match the scale of Covid-19 infections in Italy, then we are likely to run out of ventilators in New York. The anti-viral “treatments” we have for Covid-19 are experimental and many of them are hard to even get approved. Let me repeat. The sky is falling.

I say this not to panic anyone but to mobilize you. We need more equipment and we need it now. Specifically gloves, masks, eye protection and more ventilators. We need our technology friends to be making and testing prototypes to rig the ventilators that we do have to support more than one patient at a time. We need our labs channeling all of their efforts into combating this bug — that means vaccine research and antiviral treatment research, quickly.

We need hospitals to figure out how to nimbly and flexibly modify our existing practices to adapt to this virus and do it fast. Doctors across the globe are sharing information, protocols and strategies through social media, because our common publishing channels are too slow. Physician and surgeon mothers are coming together on Facebook groups to publish advice to parents and the public, to amplify our outrage, and to underscore the fear we feel for our most vulnerable patient populations, as well as ourselves and our families.

Please flatten the curve and stay at home, but please do not go into couch mode. Like everyone, I have moments where imagining the worst possible Covid-19 scenario steals my breath. But cowering in the dark places of our minds doesn’t help. Rather than private panic, we need public-spirited action. Those of us walking into the rooms of Covid-19-positive patients every day need you and your minds, your networks, your creative solutions, and your voices to be fighting for us. We might be the exhausted masked face trying to resuscitate you when you show up on the doorstep of our hospital. And when you do, I promise not to panic. I’ll use every ounce of my expertise to keep you alive. Please, do the same for us.

The New York Times on line  does not have a pay wall during the coronavirus pandemic. There was no need to post that article.

 

Don't you live in New York City?

I knew that, but I did not assume all others knew it, too. I don't assume things the way you do. I find assuming rude, smug, and obnoxious.

[Buddy2]

Most newspapers, but not all, have eliminated the pay wall for the duration of the coronavirus pandemic. Like  The Washington Post.

 

And the Boston Globe is one of several papers offering very low rates for online subscriptions.
