One through 4 are all tied and equally difficult for me but Worcestershire sauce is #1.

You know the best way to have people offering you what they feel is good advice that you don't want? Stop trying to convince people they are wrong, and you are right. Continue to do what you are doing. Continue to stew about how it is not working but stop talking about it with the expectation of a tsunami of support. You are not going to get it. Telling Vin he is privileged, is absolutely correct. He is privileged to have learned how to promote himself and his business. He is privileged to be extremely client friendly. He is privileged to offer a premier service stripped down to the basics. He is ;privileged in that he goes about his business uncomplainingly and professionally. He is privileged to know how to keep the small things small. He is privileged to have a loyal clientele who are loyal because they feel privileged to know him. I have been with him when he was speaking with the owner of a diner. The owner asked if he was Greek and he said no. He then asked if he was Brazilian and Vin said no. The owner then asked, well then what are you. He said that he was Mexican. The owner looked disgusted and said OH and ended the conversation. I was infuriated but he laughed at the ignorance. He made the small slight stay small. He prevented the small man from gaining any power over him. Keep venting here about these issues if you like, but don't expect the people here to change their minds about this deposit issue. Don't expect them to kowtow to you request to be leave your posts unanswered. If you do not want the answers, do not put forth the topic. BTW, we met in PS and I found you charming and funny and very personable. Try using those privileges in your business to a greater extent and at some point perhaps you can find some peace in your work. Good luck to you.

I fail to understand the issue any longer: You may ask for a deposit. The client can refuse. End stop. Badgering the client is not going to change his mind or at the best it places the visit on an adversarial basis. So continue to ask and continue to get a certain percentage of rejections and stop wondering why or don't ask.

Rybelsus is the oral form of semaglutide. Ozempic is the injectable so no flavoring needed. I would consider asking your compounder about bubblegum flavor.

I am assuming that as the OP asked the question, the easy solution of dumping one or the other or both is kind of off the table. Otherwise just pick the flavor you like the most and end the situation with the other. The main reason for asking it would seem to me is that he wants to keep things going with both.

You assume the risk of a no show client because clients are afraid of no show escorts. If you are not satisfied with that risk, don't take it and don't book the appointment. Two states away seems a bit of a risky booking in any case. You might try asking them to come to you.

Wegovy seems to have about the same effect on weight loss as Ozempic. The side effect profile is about the same. Side effects do not need to be listed in the package insert unless they meet a criterion of causing side effects about a threshold percentage of users. So most of the side effects in the package insert are usually mild and frequent, such as nausea and vomiting. Other side effects may be less common and not have the same need to be included in the package insert. Recently the government has declared that Ozempic supplies were so low as to permit compounding of the drug by accredited compounding pharmacies. As a result, there are companies other than the brand producer who are making Ozempic. So if you are getting Ozempic, make sure you are getting the actual product brand name. If the packaging is not correct, you may be getting a pharmacy compounded form of the drug which may be fine or which may not reach the same stand of manufacturing scrupulousness as the brand name.

Doing the "right" thing and doing what is right for oneself frequently are two different things. OP could always opt for the bold thing and tell his long time FB that he enjoys the FB's son and OP wishes to continue to see him and his son and it is the FB's choice to continue their relationship or not. He could also tell the son, I know your father and if that is a problem then the decision is yours to make. IF the son asks how the OP knows his father, he should tell him he needs to speak to his father about that. Everything is out in the open and everyone can make his own choice and not make choices for others. Ah the drama of it all. But before any of this, the OP needs to contact Bravo with a treatment for this. I would go with either All in the Family or Not. Family Matters or Does it. Family Ties and Unties Family Affair ???

To play Devil's advocate, why do you owe either of these men an explanation for sleeping around with other men. Your life is your own and unless you have an emotional attachment to one or the other then the decision to continue or not continue to see either one is yours and not something that should be forced upon you by either one, If you enjoy the sex with each equally and if you know that you are not going to have a long term relationship with either, the devil wants you to continue to see both until there is an eventual explosion. Five years from now this will just be an interesting memory. Now if you have emotional feelings for one and not the other, then you need to address that, because that is a situation which is doomed to failure.

Yes some things need appreciation not explanation.

No but you did offer to show me a hot bone the last time I saw you. So there are still some nice surprises.

While I totally agree that one should compliment people in front of others, I would not phrase the first part of the sentiment as Admonish thy friends in secret. That could be taken to mean that you should admonish your friends behind their back. It might be better stated, Admonish your friends not at all or perhaps. IF one is to admonish a friend, do so in the privacy of they company. A well considered admonishment in private said in a spirit of helpfulness can be a blessing. One should not be afraid of giving or receiving these in the name of friendship.

Lots to choose but Jimmy G has my vote and anything he wants

All this violence over money that is discretionary. How about taking some responsibility for not getting yourself into that situation in the first place. Meet outside the room and read the room there. Little chance of violence in a public arena. Hire well respected and well reviewed escorts. Ask for a 3 finger selfie or a FaceTime before having someone come to your home. Saying you would shoot someone in the back for a small amount of money it ridiculous. How much is too little for you to shoot? $100? $59? $12.74.? $4.53? Defending yourself from bodily harm certainly is understandable and in fact being able to do so is commendable. There is no good name for a man who shoots another in the back. Shakespeare. Good name in man and woman, Dear my lord is the immediate jewel of their souls. Who steals my purse steals trash; tis the something, nothing; twas mine, 'tis his and had been slave to thousands; But he that filches from me my good name robs me of the which not enriches him. and makes me poor indeed. Your suggested crime, and you correctly point out it is a crime in most states, diminishes you forever. Might as well put a teardrop tattoo over you face.

That is true, most of the escorts with whom I am friends are making more money than I am and generally hang out with a more interesting group of people. But they seem to put up with me anyway.

She did not always have 3 billion dollars but I believe she always had the attitude, so maybe she is on to something.

Are you Mrs Doubtfire? Or was this a drive by fruiting?

The nature of one's relationship with each person is different. Inevitably if you invite your friend the escort to dinner with other friends, people are bound to ask questions which may have answers which are more revealing than you may be comfortable having answered. The same might be true of your best friend from high school that gave you a blow job every day after school until he married and you did the same. Discretion would probably lead to an answer to How did you guys meet? as We met in high school. Oh yeah we gave each other head every day for three years would probably be left out. So while the seas of friendship with an escort may be a bit more difficult to navigate especially if your friend is significantly younger, quite sexually appealing and likely to raise questions some may not choose to have answered with complete candor it comes down to what your priority is. That is part of the reason that friendships with escorts and clients are not common. However one can be honest without being indiscreet no matter what your friend does for a living or how you met. I have a friend who stopped escorting about 10 years ago. We hit it off very early on and I hired him several times to do his non escort job. He worked at my office and acted in professional manner at all times, I had some trepidation at first as I was widowed and I had been happily married and only started sleeping with men well after my wife's passing. I was concerned about being "outed" but more concerned about continuing my friendship. It can be done, priorities are your own.

I agree that there is a difference between being friends and being friendly, but if you have a friendly and interested nature, then you may become friends with anyone. Considering that the number of escort client interactions with different pairings (or thruples or more..) which have occurred with forum members probably stretches to the millions, it would seem inevitable that some of those would wind up as friends. It seems most likely that those people who are open to the idea of such relationships would be the ones most likely to develop one. So, can a provider be a real friend for some people? IMO, the probabilities are so high as to make it almost a certainty, though a rarity. Is it probable given the circumstances of the relationship and human bandwidth? No not likely but inevitably yes. As a doctor I was not friends with the vast majority of my patients, but after years and more than ten thousand encounters with different patients, I am friends with a select few. Go to the house for holidays friends, get invited to the kid's wedding friends, attend the funeral of a parent or a spouse friend, have a drink out and watch a football game friend, borrow their tools and don't return them friends, and yes even get a call in the middle of the night to go bail their kid out of jail friend. This while living in a well populated state and meeting these people after I had a well establish coterie of other people in my life. Where does the new doctor in town in Alaska make his friends?

Just another point, antibiotic development is not particularly profitable for drug companies. As opposed to daily medications such as statins or blood pressure medication, antibiotics are taken as needed and as such sales are many times higher in the daily drugs. In order for medicine to keep up with mutations which lead to drug resistance, companies are going to have to have a financial incentive to increase research in this field.

While resistant gonorrhea is going to become a larger and larger problem, at this time, the routine treatment for gonorrhea is cheap and effective in most cases in most places. There are pockets of areas where there is a larger percentage of resistant strain gonorrhea and in those areas a drug which is effective against the resistant bacteria is beneficial. While the article states that eventually the treatment cost will be as inexpensive as treatment for GC is now, that will occur only after the developing company has lost its patent, at least that will be the case in the US. So given the likely high initial cost, the possibility of resistance to this drug developing from overuse and the relative effectiveness of the present treatment, this advance initially only will make a small difference in the manner in which GC will be treated, Prevention is still the best course of action. Public health efforts such as legalization of sex work and required testing for sex workers in order to locate and treat unsuspected cases of the disease would also slow the development of a more resistant GC dominant strain. But the bacteria always win these races. Encouragement of use of condoms,( I know I know I know no one wants to hear that) is another potential brake on the eventual collision of humans and super resistant GC.

More interesting would be to do it during sex. This question has been asked a lot and discussed forever. There is really one simple answer. Friendly people make friends wherever they go. So yes one can, as to whether most can is another question and a third question is whether most escorts want clients as friends.

Be prepared for the chills if it is your first time to the Viet Nam Memorial or even if it is you 100th. Those chills are there whether it is December or the dog days of August.

Probably because as with most out of state drivers, they cannot figure out the jug handle turn. A simple improvement on the left turn that many people from out of the Garden State cannot master. There is a rumor from the Revolutionary War that even George Washington when returning from crossing the Delaware, could not figure out the jug handle turn and so he built a bridge to New York where the less talented drivers find sitting for hours in traffic preferable.
