What a cute girl! Looks like a beautiful dog!

That's a really good price. Yes, my date and I actually drove about 10 miles to get the gas, a little more than that close to home, but we were out for dinner and close, so it worked.

Glad to get mine on Friday. No issues at all.

Interesting for sure. I would expect the idea to have heavy resistance based on funding and need. Perhaps it is an old bridge that was going to be torn down and it was transformed. Would be interesting to hear the background in how it became reality.

El Dorado, KS is known for their interesting competition with fuel prices. It does help when traveling to clients.

I’m hoping it will be well received. Clearly some challenges, but hoping it will come across well.

Well you are very nice to have some concern for him. I don't think there is anything wrong with asking him questions about how he charges, just so you know how he has determined his approach.. There are appropriate positive ways you can put things. "I think you are worth more than you are charging" rather than, " you are undercharging yourself". Perhaps he has a reason or will fill you in if he feels so inclined. Again, awesome of you to be concerned about him.

Very true, Mike. Imagine that the spewing of material from underground oceans could do something like that. Sounds like some kind of fiction. When I first heard all about that, I couldn't believe it. What about the oceans of methane and ethane on TItan. Wow.

I'm a beagle lover. My first partner introduced me to the breed and I bought him a beagle puppy as a Christmas present. I soon had to get my own and 'Buddy" was my first beagle experience. He'll always be with me. Today, I have 3 beagles, a "black saddle" beagle (mostly black color with some brown and white) named "Gabe", a "lemon" beagle, my only female and she was adopted through a beagle rescue "Lady" and my youngest beagle, a "blue" beagle (mostly gray colors and he's a little smaller than the other two) named "Scout-Scout". The boys can be loud, females usually are not. These three have largely been well behaved, although I say that Scout has a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde personality. They are friendly, positive and good natured. Gabe and Scout serve as my "assistants" with my morning fitness workouts. I also appreciate cats, but have only had one of them. I'm also a horseman and my long term quarter horse I received as a colt for my 11th birthday will always rank. Scout below. What about you, show us your companion and introduce us.

Have been a space buff since 4th grade, love it! The more research and investigation, the more questions and solid facts we find on the our solar system and those outside our own. Absolutely fascinating. I've been reading about the belief that Saturn's rings are only a few million years old and are slowly disappearing. I was reading about some 2,000 mile object that NASA seems to have spotted that doesn't look natural adjacent to the rings. Also some of the amazing speculation of several of Saturn's moons. We'll see!

I do that as well, Neither is exclusive....🤪

I am a morning person by nature, jacking off first thing, but a healthy breakfast and always time for my "Morning Cardio & weight training" sessions since 2002. It is a very positive way to start an active day. I'm also never get started without making my bed and picking up the place. If time permits, I will make time to mow the yard or wash one of my vehicles. My 2023 Camaro needs a little TLC after a busy work week, so that is on the agenda for this morning. Morning activities are limited by shower time and the need to move it to the office. I also always have to catch the latest with "Morning Joe" and my business update.

Sounds like an intriguing business arrangement!

I grew up in a household with parents who demonstrated affection on a regular basis. My father is a corporate attorney and some of my best memories are of him coming home from a business trip, hugging me, giving me a kiss on the forehead and usually was lucky enough to have a little surprise. My mother displayed love and affection every day to both my older brother and myself. Affection was both expressed and implied in our household. There was never a time I didn't know how my parent's love and care for me.... and that continues.

Thanks for the input. I am really appreciating this conversation. Because of my own professional background, I think it is accurate to say that regardless of whether one is an attorney, financial advisor or even doctor, there are similarities. I maintain friendships with clients, regardless of the type, some were friends prior, others have come about during the professional relationship. I have found again, that a distinction between ones "friendship: and professional conduct is essential for success. My friends know that I'm very diligent with my services provided clients, whether friends or not.

Very nice of you to say so! I have planned every aspect of my home very carefully. Having a great time!

Sure it's possible. I have 3 clients that were (and are) friends. It requires a serious conversation about responsibility and the fine line between work (escorting) and friendship. The lines cannot be blurred. If booked, I expect to be paid as with any client. Because they have been friends, my responsibilities to them are not any different. I would say I have several clients (who I met from booking) who are "friendly with me" if I see them outside a booking. Not sure I can say we are "friends", but I haven't had any issues in this area to date.

I will have to ask my mother if they had "typewriters" in 1969

Well I appreciate the input. And yes, fixed annuities are probably more competitive than variable annuities with fixed accounts.. Rolling a client into another annuity is certainly frowned on by FINRA because of the surrender period of each product. It can be done, but with justification and complance approval.

You sound like one of my friends who encouraged me this direction in the beginning. The difference between a professional and one that isn't.
