I don’t think anything guarantees Derek will show up.
There will always be others with bigger, better, or more treats.
Derek will obviously choose the biggest fish he can catch at that moment.
 
He knows full well that the fish he cuts bait on....even without notice....
will bite again another time regardless of how poorly he treats them.
 
But truth is, no one here can claim any longer they don’t know what
they signed up for when they contact Derek. He might show up. You
may have an ok time. You MIGHT even have a really good time.
 
But the odds are not in your favor. Only a loser goes to a casino that
gives really crappy odds....then again....Vegas wasn’t built on winners.

That is a great dscription

Your “negative” is my “realistic”.
 
I was trying to use humor to help you understand
that your making a bad decision and more likely
than not you’ll end up with a wasted night in Vegas.
 
Obviously, you’re an adult and you’re free to make
as many bad decisions as you want.....have fun.

Seriously....how much more information do you need?
 
Please make sure you post when you’re all alone at the bar in Vegas
after he’s stood you up and you’re crying into your drink saying,
“I should have known better”.
 
Yes, you should have....and that makes your salty tear taste all the sweeter!

MY experience - G4P Scorts are as varied as WE are lol. There's gorgeous married fathers like Jason Adonis who did everything with (tots believable) pleasure, and flip side there's exclusively gay scorts who are horrible and have more restrictions than an airline mileage plan. What "I" LIKE about the open minded G4P scorts is that ATTRACTION is not part of the equation If the scort is into guys and you're not (as is oft the case or else why hire?) a guy they're into, it can be obvious and awful. A STR8 scort isn't into us at all so a hot young face and gym bod means little, no more than firm perky tits vs old sagging ones means to US Be hygenic smell good brush your teeth and you're good to go with them. And yes, some G4P scorts DO lie, check all the boxes as others have said and when they get there aren't willing to do anything, but SOME (like my recent contact with blonde adonis Tommy Gainer) are completely honest and upfront about not being (his words) a full service scort.
*btw I totally respect those here turned off by a str8 scort, even if he does EVERYTHING. To ea his own, I like to be treated nicely, but the scort being into me or guys FOR REAL has never mattered much to me.

This practice is increasing, now in perhaps 30-40% of hotels I visit, not just in public areas but in rooms too. Also true in the airport United Clubs lol.
 
Best to travel with a mobile hotspot.

I'm old, it's got to be on wheels. Tumi only, unless "Grandma loans me her LV"

I'm more inclined to use freecycle unless the thing I'm disposing of is obviously worth a lot.
 
My father sold my mother's oxygen concentrator on Craigslist after she died. It went to a woman far away, somewhere in Oregon maybe, she said with that she could work her waitressing job again. They worked out a payment schedule, he received the first few payments but then nothing more. He was philosophical about it, thinking he'd done a good deed and didn't mind not getting the rest; months later, the payments started up again and I'm pretty sure he got the full amount they agreed on.

Dan Savage had a really good take on it......Beyond the punchline and comedy. It made me ever more grateful for who I am . AND because it is de rigueur, I do not condone violence or misogyny to anyone just because an explanation makes sense.

Never....but someone does....

Never....but someone does....

My gas fireplace in my den/family room is Alexa enabled. I love laying in bed and commanding “Alexa, turn den on” and the fireplace and appropriate morning lamps are on when I get downstairs

I'm torn on that subject. On the one hand, it is klunky and I'm surprised it hasn't collapsed under its own weight. On the other hand, it is pretty easy to set up a profile and there is a wide variety of guys on the site. Unlike many of the dating apps there isn't a huge questionnaire nor is there a fee to post a profile. There's something to be said about simplicity.

They always did, surely? Not, of course, someone literally going through every email but it is a programme which picks on keywords and phrases. I keep one email address for sensitive material which is supposedly encrypted at both ends. I am not sure if it really is secure but I at least am doing my poor best. And when it comes to it, most of us have little to hide.

Gibson = Gin Martini with Pearl Onion instead of Olive - Not popular since the 80s even with the "Older Crowd"

That is funny, near our home there is a farm that uses that slogan - they sell antibiotic-free, free range etc etc meats. The sign has people stopping to take pics a lot. Unexpected in a fairly conservative suburb in NE. I love business owners with humor.

Guessing the family committed insurance fraud and buried it themselves, then filed a claim, planning to pick the stuff up years later.

I’ve also been fascinated with the mysterious disappearance of this large high-tech modern airplane.
 
Amazes me that my iphone can be easily tracked by GPS yet an airplane that costs $400 million dollars, can go missing.
 
Thank you for the informative update Samhexum!!!

The Upper House was right next to my office in Pacific Place when I was working in HK. We used to go there for after-work drink. The view was indeed very nice, but I never got a chance to get inside the guest rooms to check them out.
 
Talking about city skylights, Manhattan has nothing on Hong Kong.

I’ve stood in boxer shorts on my back deck cooking for @whipped guy before. The meal plan is this: the money from this industry may be great, but having the situation mirror a friendship more than business is far better. So very many of you have cooked for me.... @Traveler North ’s legendary meatballs for instance... @Epigonos prime rib’s...that why wouldn’t an escort want to return the favor whenever he could? I’m just not always home to be in control of my own surrorundings/kitchen.
 
The fact is, the little things that we do for one another are more important then the sex, or how each of us might look. And when you take an act that is borderline illegal...right on the fringes of society...and true friendships come out of it...that’s what makes this great.
 
But...for the record...the Tristan Baldwin meal plan is food at a homeless shelter compared to @Epigonos masterpieces. You at the forum gatherings(which I can’t wait for next year’s, by the way...I’m coming out for the whole weekend this time), haven’t even gotten a taste of what he really can do. ‘Cook for 60-Don’ is different then ‘Intimate Cook for 2-Don’.
 
Night night y’all! Can’t wait to be back West!

As a client, I am often irritated by the many different restrictions on potential communications between myself and a potential provider. Some say do not call, text only, others say no emails, some say only emails no text. Etc Etc. All the while I grumble, "but wait...don't you want my custom?"
 
Recently I found some very expensive but poorly chosen bespoke computer equipment ( at the time in 2010 $5k per system) in my closet that I was going to put on the curb. My Husband, after making some choice comments on my judgement, persuaded me to try out eBay and sell the parts. I have never even bought anything on ebay.
 
Without going into boring details, after setting what I thought were reasonable very discounted prices based on similar items for sale, I have been bombarded with a torrent of emails which I initially started to dutifully respond. But it is never ending, some people dickering over $1.00 on a $20 component, pointing out the most insignificant variance. On the times I just acquiesced and said fine your price- they didn't even buy it then!
 
Perhaps many/most are well intentioned and just need a little information, but it is overwhelming. The irony is I can't imagine if these emails were over something so personal as companionship or sex! It has been an educational experience for me. I guess I am a bit sheltered in not having this experience before. In my company, people only email me with inquiries that are well thought out and I don't have to go back and forth so often. A call really can weed out the chafe and get to the point. The second computer is going straight to our local tech school...maybe someone there can do something with it, but I won't be taking that one apart.
 
Thanks to all who endure us :-)

My 2012 Dodge is keyless and I have never left it running. When I have opened the door with the engine running this annoying bell goes off, similar to the one that goes off when the lights are left on.
 
The self-cleaning gene pool strikes again.

I read the article about the keyless ignition issue earlier today in the print edition of the New York Times. While the deaths and harm caused by the carbon monoxide poisoning is indeed tragic, I took exception with the tone of the article which seems to suggest that this is the car's fault or the auto manufacturers fault. It is due to people needing to pay better attention to what they are doing. Just like the parents who "forget" they have kids in the back seat, or think the accident caused by their texting while driving is not their fault, it clearly is. The Palm Beach Fire Dept. started handing out carbon monoxide detectors and signs that say "Carbon Monoxide Kills. Is Your Car Off?" Perhaps dealers can hand out these signs with the cars they sell to help out people who are clearly absent minded or distracted - one wonders if these folks should be driving in the first place. By the way, all of my current cars are keyless and I have been driving keyless cars for over a decade. I always make sure they are off, before I unbuckle my seatbelt. I am sympathetic with those impacted by the deaths and impairment, but I believe people have to take the majority of the responsibility for their own actions or inactions.

Other credit cards have them but CitiBank was the first I think. I just click "generate a card", tell it the amount, and there it is. A lot of on-line porn sites charge less on an "automatic renewal" and there are a lot of other promos for discounts with auto renewals. My XM is $30 for 6 months with auto renewal at $20/mo. I've had it for 6 for 30 for ten years with virtuals.
I pay all these with virtual cards and have never been hassled for renewal fees. Charge doesn't go through, they just cut you off. Works every time for the "low introductory price with auto renewal"s. Also I use virtuals for dodgy onliners like overseas pharmacies, etc.
