With your well known frugality I am surprised you can afford yourself or that you would work for someone who pays so little

We have been telling her not to come since mid-March, and we have continued to pay her. I actually raised her pay, because I know that she has lost other paying customers, and as an independent worker, she probably can't get gov't help.

Over the weekend the system was upgraded to the latest and greatest version of the forum software.
 
It turned out that we upgraded to a new major version. Several of the 3rd party plugins need to be upgraded to their latest and greatest versions to support the new version. We're currently navigating the hoops involved.
 
The good news is that most of them are upgradable; in particular the Trophies and Content Ratings upgrades should be the easy ones and hopefully be back soon.
 
The bad news is the the cool "M4M NewGen" theme is no longer supported so we'll need to find a responsive replacement.
 
More GN/BN to follow...

It's 5:30 PM, Sunday, May 17, 2020, and I am having problems with the emojis. I click on "Like," and it doesn't post. ...wrecked my enjoying the photos in the wonderful, wonderful "GALLERY," one of my favorite forums.

I’d expect my regular $300 guy to charge me $300. I expect I’ll be dropping $300 extra as a tip so his income lapse will not be as severe. But them he’s already received the equivalent of a couple dates since this CoVid started.
 
But seriously, guys who hire and don’t have an emergency fund to see themselves and their companions through tough times SCARE me.

What about fat cocks?

I cannot believe that there are women desperate enough to date these guys let alone PAY for them.

Not prepaying appointments is another general consensus among m-f posts.
 
You seem argumentative, are you?

Proper credit should be given to Juan Vancouver, a now quiet member of the M-F.

I was teasing you about your nom de plum here. You were WAY TOO BENDABLE in my estimation. I'd have never let the first guy in - I'd have acted like I didn't know who he was and as though I wasn't Bendable2019. The second guy, once mention of a gun would have been paid his fee and immediately dismissed amicably.  
(In Los Angeles County carrying a concealed weapon is illegal without a concealed carry weapons permit (CCW). One LAPD chief was denied a CCW. If he couldn't get one, virtually no one can get one.)
 
The general consensus on the M-F is you shouldn't hire anyone not reviewed on Daddy's Reviews or maybe discussed on the M-F.

Maybe we aren't reading the same posts... do you prepay your appointments, too?

As is most sources of yeast and flour

If this is for a Rentmen or Friendboy Ad, I've found more success when searching by copying/pasting *just* the actual name and not the complete link into the search box. Generally letters are run together or possibly include an underscore symbol in the name - Don't space the guy's name - enter it just as it appears in the site ad.

In most cases, I'd agree. Escorts can get away with a lot, especially if they're under (or not) reporting to the IRS.
 
It's a little stickier when an escort makes good/great/ridiculous money and wants to buy things like homes, cars, stocks, etc.
 
Well, then there's a paper trail. Shit.
 
Then you have little choice but to fess up and pay your fair share. The IRS aren't folks you want to cross.
 
Still... Saving for those rainy days is never, ever a bad thing.

Funny, my cleaning lady hasn’t been in my home in 2+ months, but she hasn't missed a paycheck. My barber hasn’t worked in over 2 months and has an infant — he’s getting a couple of Benjamins when I see him. My Uber drivers bringing my to go orders are getting at lesst a $20 tip. My dentist has already been paid for my next 3 visits (he offers a discount for annual prepays).
 
Oh yeah, I’m “essential” & haven’t missed a paycheck, have a 6 month emergency fund and I’ve been buying while the stock market has been down.
 
Tightwads, rich and poor, are never happy. Givers are rarely sad. Givers are rarely poor, too, even if they have no extra money. Go figure.

You aren’t the only one.?

He's not unattractive but I think it's more that he's just your type or something. To each his own.

Uhm, I must be very ignorant for these matters. I always thought that Crisco was only for fisting. I was thinking that those 2 straight (looking) guys I like would start noticing if I started just asking them frequently for random items. What I'm not sure about is to know where to draw the line and stop before being seen as the creepy old gay guy. I think I'm bad at reading between lines.
 
Thank you so much for all the advice! ❤️️

Well I wouldn't ask "Where can I find the Crisco?"

It's about not killing pedestrians, who are a more regular occurrence in residential areas.
