  1. We were an Appian Way family because my father was an artist working on Armor-Dial ads. Armor, who made the mix, would drop off cases of the stuff for the employees of the art studio where he worked. By the time my mother was finished doctoring it up, it was a completely different pizza.
  2. I didn't even work the fry station (I worked the counter and the drive-thru) and could feel and smell the grease on myself.
  3. That's not incorrect, but also not completely correct. Belgian historian of food, Pierre Leqluercq noted that the first recorded mention of French fries is in a Parisian book in 1775. He traced the history of French fries and found the first recipe of what is a modern-day French fry in a French cookbook from 1795, La cuisinière républicaine. It was these Parisian fries that inspired Frederic Krieger, a musician from Bavaria who learned how to make these fries in Paris, to take the recipe to Belgium. Once there, he opened his own business and began to sell fries under the name ‘la pomme de terre frite à l’instar de Paris’ which translated to ‘Paris-style fried potatoes.’ source: History Cooperative "The Origin of French Fries." There's also a story in the July1899 edition of Good Housekeeping that refers to "French fries." TLDR: Belgium acquired fried potatoes from France via a German. Back to the topic of struggling chain restaurants, there are some chains who are flourishing because they deliver great service and great food. Some chains are struggling because they don't do that. Mc Donald's problem, in my view, is not with the ingredients but with franchisees who don't prepare the food properly and who sell product that should be tossed. McD's needs to go back to the days of the "blitz." That's where secret shoppers would swarm a restaurant and rate everything from food quality to bathroom cleanliness to whether the bag was folded and presented correctly through the drive-through window. At my store, they would hide out among the crowd in the bus shelter located opposite the drive through. No, I am not making this up. It was a real thing. FWIW, the bags I presented were always folded correctly.
  4. The original link has become corrupted, so here's a link to his profile: https://rent.men/WalkinWishlist
  5. I hired him several years ago and the pics were outdated then. He was out of shape, gave off a weird vibe, and the room he rented in the big house was not particularly relaxing.
  6. There's also the easy-to-locate "link" icon at the top of the post creation window: Indeed we have!
  7. I just checked his ad. As of 3:06 PM Pacific Time on October 22, 2025 MuscleDaddyforU's Rentmasseur ad includes the face pic displayed above. The is among those that were locked when I viewed his ad without logging in. Once I logged in with the credentials associated with my paid account I could see them.
  8. I don't think the photos are terrible, but they are old. Also, in 2022 he was 31, so he seems to be aging in the wrong direction. However, many CoM members will be pleased to know he likes to have a pre-meetup phone call.
  9. To expand upon @mike carey's post, we like to have one thread per provider to keep the discussions in one place. Before creating a new topic, you can search for an existing topic about the provider using the "Search" field in the upper right corner of each page.
  10. A suggestion: including a link to the provider's ad will result in more meaningful replies. Also, except for major cities (Chicago, Atlanta, New York, etc.) including both city and state are helpful. It is also helpful when there is more than one city with a particular name. For example, Columbus, OH vs Columbus, GA or the multiple examples of "Springfield."

    He has two 5-star and one 1-star RM review. The 1-star review states he left after 5 minutes and one of the 5-star reviews states he tried to leave after 30 minutes, stayed when it was pointed out that there was still 30 minutes remaining, and then left after 45 minutes. The 5-star review goes on to say "...the foreign providers don’t understand it’s about the time and not the activity."
  12. This story in the Daily Mail discusses the discounts Vegas casinos are offering. IMO, a few months' worth of discounts isn't going to help in the long term. The casino/resorts need to re-think their business models.
  13. Are you saying they aren't tootling over to Target in their Bentley? For me, it's "findom," "master," "exclusive," "high-end" (if you gotta tell me then you aren't) and (my favorite) "selective." Oh, and Dubai pics and wearing LV or Hermes T-shirts.
  14. Moderator's Pro Tip: We allow brief descriptions of members' experiences in the forums. When you would like more details, please send a direct message to the member who posted about the provider. 🙏Thank you!!🙏
  15. I ask the provider for their 1-, 2-, and 3- hour rates. Sometimes (usually) their 2- and 3-hour rates are less than a one-hour rate times two or three. A couple of guys became snippy with me, including one who asked if I could do math. Needless to say, I didn't hire them.
