The cocaine reference may have been unfair. To cocaine.

That’s fair. I’m sure you’re right. After all, the Titanic struck one iceberg. Titanique struck every idea in the North Atlantic and somehow missed all of them.

I’m not sure what scoring system you’re using, but the Al Parker knowledge gets you to 6.3. The Elaine Stritch part is what pushes you into advanced placement.

Agreed about Manville. Her performance was extraordinary. She just won the Tony award. As did Mercalf for her performance in Death of a Salesman.

This is a stunning production! It just won the Tony for best revival of a play and a slew of others. Highly recommend!

I saw Titanique because two people whose opinions I respect assured me it was hilarious. Those people are no longer welcome in my home. There are bad musicals. There are terrible musicals. And then there is Titanique. A production so spectacularly awful that, at one point, I stopped trying to follow what was happening and instead began studying the exit signs. For the uninitiated, Titanique is a musical parody of Titanic featuring the songs of Celine Dion and a plot that appears to have been assembled by locking several theater majors in a room with a suitcase of cocaine and a vague understanding of maritime history. Would I recommend Titanique? Only if you’ve exhausted all other forms of self-punishment.

A provider should go into every booking assuming the client isn’t someone they’d normally hook up with for free. That’s the reality of the job. If seeing a photo is necessary to mentally prepare for the encounter, it’s probably not going to work. Attraction is a bonus; professionalism is the skill.

I think every client enjoys it more when the provider is turned on too.

Very sad and depressing ending.

I’m in the same group as you. I care about those aspects as well.

The hospital scene in ep. 4 was painful to watch, especially the scene with the car part. I don’t know how we remotely come back from that.

What did you make of the nominations that just came out?

You had terrible providers. That’s not the norm. Sorry you experienced that.

15 minutes? That’s not a trend. That’s crazy. And weird. Was this an hour? 2 hour session? Did they do any of what you discussed and was agreed upon ahead of time? Was the stop mid-way into the act?

More and more over the years, straight-to-the-point has kind of become the norm. Finding providers who take the time to be a little warmer and more conversational (within reason, of course) can take some trial and error. I also agree with the previous comment that once you’ve actually booked, or especially after you’ve had an appointment with someone, the messaging often changes completely, usually in a good way. Finding a regular that you really enjoy changes everything and you want to keep those.
