Haha! No I did not, unfortunately we don't live close. But rest assured once this pandemic thing is under control and should we ever be in the same neighbourhood I'll call for sure!

I get soooooo tired of the “buy him a sandwich” here in The Spa and elsewhere on the forum. If a provider isn’t your type, move on. How is commenting on your personal opinion of a person’s physique helpful in moving a topic forward.
Thanks @Dmitri

HERE is the local news story.
This is a fairly rural area and very, very conservative. I'd guess that the sheriff is defiant about this (if he chose to comment) and those who vote for sheriff overwhelmingly supportive of this sort of thing. You simply mention "gay" and "drugs" and folks' minds immediately close, regardless of what actually happened.
 
How far this goes depends on the prosecutor.

Just to clarify my earlier comment, I don't think he looks bad at all and according to those who have met him he's very good at what he does! I was just thinking it was good of him to post current pics:)

A good policy is to give from the heart without any expectations. As a wise woman told me years ago, “expectations create disappointments”. A corollary to that policy is to give only as much as you can afford to lose.
 
If it brings you joy to send $150 USD to 6 different BrazilIan garotos de programa through Western Union — knowing that doing so won’t make your relationship with any of them any closer or any more intimate or special than the ones they have with clients that do not — and it doesn’t cause you any financial pain or discomfort, then do it to your heart’s content.

First welcome to the forum. This place is a great tool so use it as much as you can, especially for 411 checks on escorts before taking the plunge.
 
Sadly, even with escorting, you'll encounter these things. I've had a couple of incidents including one from a popular escorting couple where 1 of the partners pretty much expressed the same sentiment as your guy in Cleveland. Just got to move on, but yes it does happen and as someone mentioned earlier, the topic does pops up on here. Just beware of the Gym-lead peanut gallery on here that will preach you're wrong and it's more preference instead of race when in a lot of cases it's one masking the other.
 
Like @sync said it would be easier if escorts just put it right out on their profiles IMO.

Thank you so much for sharing purplekow. you are a hero and inspiration to all. <3

I mentioned keeping you eye out for the sneak. Well, tonight, my dear canine friend Mr. Bear was the sneak. He passed just about when I finished my previous post. All week long I have been preparing. I would have a bit of a final visit each time I went to bed, because I was not expecting him to make it through the night, Then in the morning, he would still be there, wagging his tail when I called his name and lifting his head ever so slowly in my direction. He had stopped eating despite coaxing with some pretty good favorites of his. So he did not totally sneak away.
 
When I would leave for work, there would be little confessional of love and most times, depending where he had settled, I would look in from a window or through the backyard foliage to get what I thought be my last glimpse of him. Then , each evening he would still be there. A little weaker, a little grayer but still with a wag of a tail though he had stopped coming to greet me at the door.
 
Tonight he actually seemed a bit perky, He drank some water and though he did not move much, he did keep himself in the warmth of the sun the window let in.
When I came to write my medical notes and then my posing here, I stepped over him and gave him a casual "How ya doing Bear boy". Soon after, he snuck away before I could hold him and pat his head one last time.
Damned sneaks, the give you just a moments peace. They lull you into a space where everything seems like it always is and then they turn all of your expectations up side down.
Well I got him up from the floor to the ottoman where he usually slept. I cleaned up the the area and I am set to go to bed. I decided to write this now so that the reality of it sets in and I can get some sleep knowing that my life has been better with him in it and that I hope he felt the same.
Goodnight bear, you old sneak. I'll miss you. I see you after my work is done.

Today is the first day of what is supposed to be the worst week of this. I am home right now and ostensibly I have made it through Monday. But a lot has happened, none of it good and I have received four phone calls since I got home. Just a quick update. I woke with a temperature of 97.7 my temperature now is 99, so I am a bit concerned for my own situation.
 
Of the patients I have written about, the gardener has taken a dramatic turn for the worse. He is on a ventilator and is barely keeping his oxygen at levels compatible for sustained life. Now the first week on the ventilator in this condition is known to be a very rocky one. The patients usually have highs and lows and if they make it to week two, usually things will move along in a more positive direction. He is on day 4 on the ventilator, so just about 1/2 way through week one.
 
The elderly lady with the good bye FaceTime with her daughter, succumbed to the disease at about 4:30 in the morning. Her condition had been slowly deteriorating and so it was not surprising that she would pass. Her last meal was vanilla pudding. She was well sedated with morphine and I hope that was enough to make her passing a comfortable one. This is my first death related to this disease. I know it will not be the last.
 
The man who told me he did not want to die, has gotten somewhat better. He is on less oxygen and he was walking in his room and he said that he was feeling much better. His lab tests have improved and so it appears he will be one of the lucky ones. However, he is still requiring high flow. oxygen. One of the Pulmonologists told him he may be able to go home tomorrow, but he will definitely need oxygen and it is not at all clear that he won't have a relapse. Still and all, he may be home for the holidays.
 
There were three new patients to come to my service. All three Covid patients and today, so far, there are four more. We are running out of high flow nebulizers and will need to improvise some other type of oxygen delivery system. The three new patients to my service are a 60 year old woman transferred out of the ICU with Covid and heart failure on dialysis. She is the poster girl for people who should not survive Covid, but she is doing well. She may also go home after three grueling weeks but arrangements need to be made for dialysis. The second is a 60 year old man who has had a fever for a week and who has been getting short of breath over the last two days. He is a fit man, he lives in Brooklyn but has a large house on the Jersey Shore to which he moved his family 4 weeks ago. He was hoping to outrun the virus, but he did not succeed. He looks pretty good and is complaining that he wants to go home but he is requiring more and more oxygen and he does not look to be headed home any time soon. I joked with him about his great shock of silver gray hair. I may have been flirting with him, but it has been so long since I had any playful adult conversation that I am not sure. The third patient is a 25 year old with schizophrenia who spent 5 days wandering the streets of NYC. His family was able to locate him and brought him back to his Jersey home. He develop cough, fever and said yes to every other symptoms although it is not clear he understands any of what we are asking. We are waiting for all his studies and if they are under good control, he may be able to go to the psychiatric ward. Right now, some poor soul needs to sit in a room with him and try to keep him for doing harm to himself by pulling IV lines or not wearing his oxygen, Though his CoVid test is not back, it seems likely that it will be positive.
 
Being admitted this afternoon are two men in their early 30's and man in his 80s and a woman in her sixties who may not have CoVid and may wind up going home once her tests come back.
 
In the "there but for the grace of God go I" category, two doctors were admitted to the hospital. One is in the ICU but is not on a ventilator. He and his entire staff are CoVid positive but he is the sickest of the bunch. He is a pretty fit guy in his 50s and has been healthy. The odds are with him, but with this disease, odds mean nothing. By the time you get to the ICU things are bad and so. far, in this hospital, if you are placed on a ventilator, no one has made it to be discharged. There have been 6 deaths of ventilated patients and a smattering of others who did not wind up being placed on the ventilator.
 
The other doctor, is a member of the full time hospital staff. He is a tall thin Argentian who is very careful all the time. About two weeks ago a patient was admitted to my service who was having congestive heart failure. There did not seem to be anything tricky about the diagnosis. I heard about the patient over the phone at about 11PM and was told she was not in need of a visit from me until the morning. As luck would have it, I was not on call the next day, a Saturday and the doctor who was admitted was. He saw the patient and then later in the day, her condition deteriorated and she was sent to the ICU. Subsequently, about 4 days later, she started showing signs of Covid and she tested positive. All the personel who were around her were contacted and 6 of the 10 test tested positive for Covid, including this doctor. He is having some shortness of breath, but not having great oxygen demands, He is having fever and GI distress which has made it difficult for him to keep his fluids in balance. He is admitted so get some IV fluids and to watch for any worsening. It is easy to see how I could have been one of those 6 in 10. Lucky that time for me.
 
Lucky that time for me, but each day I think that this may be the day that my luck runs out. Each cough is evaluated as to whether that is just an allergy cough or the first one leading down CoVid Lane. Do I have a headache or is it just eye strain? Is 99.3 the first step up a ladder I do not want to climb or is it merely a part of the diurnal temperature fluctuations we all have. When you are my age, in my physical condition and with the kind of risk I have, you cannot help but think that any sign might be an omen of things to come. I have joked with friends who are in a similar condition. They all feel the same. One gastroenterologist told me that every time he has a BM he is hoping, as he strains, that it is solid as a rock. A good friend who is an X-ray tech says he is so far into his head about this that he has a foot sticking out of each ear.
 
Meanwhile, I have been trying to get my will done and my taxes done. lAs some of you may know, I have three dogs and what I have avoided mentioning is that one of them is dying. He has stopped eating He moves very little. He does go out to lie in the sun. I have been able to persuade him to eat a bit of Costco Roast Chicken breast and yesterday, half a piece of liverwurst. The other half just lay there next to his nose until finally I stopped chasing the other dogs away from it. I full expected him to die last night and spent the entire morning in the shower, getting dressed and generally avoiding leaving the bedroom suite. I thought for sure that last night, when I patted him on the head, rubbed his ear and saw the vaguest wag of his tail, that was good bye, our final goodbye. When I finally went out to the kitchen, he was not there. He was not in the living room, not in the den, not in my office, not hiding behind the couch. I went out and he was not on the patio in the back. I found him, lying in the sun in a corner of the backyard, resting comfortably. I called his name and again there was a tail wag. I was 15 minutes late for work because of the extra time I spent with him and I fully expected him to be gone when I got home. He was not. He had followed the sun and was in a different corner of the yard. He still won't eat. He really hasn't moved much and he seems uninterested in interacting with me at the moment. I think he is just enjoying the good life, lying in the warm sun and resting. I encourage you all to find that comfortable spot in the yard, the house, the patio. and to lie down and let the sun bathe your tired body and to think how lucky we all are. A slight change in a schedule and I might not be writing this or loving my dying dog or thinking about what I will make for dinner. Life is always tenuous, even more so now. My advice, is to do what my sweet loving half lab have Newfoundland friend and confidante has done.... Follow the Sun.

I am sitting here crying, I care for my 92 year old father and your post has put things in perspective. I thank god that he is still with me even in the most difficult of times. Also thanks for bringing me to tears seriously it is cathartic to feel something other than anger which many will attest to from my many Trump posts. Trump goes on about wanting to be appreciated for what he has done, screw him you and the people on the front lines are the ones who deserve appreciation. You have my deepest appreciation your post reminds us that these aren't just numbers to be quoted by a government they are people who are loved and matter.

SEX 2020
 
 

I look at it this way: My parents' generation was asked to fight World War Two. My generation was asked to fight in Vietnam. I've been asked to stay home and watch TV. I think I can handle that

I hadn't heard about that... I was under the impression that the Royal Family had stopped all engagements, etc.
 
I agree with @BgMstr4u in his assessment of the speech. Whether or not one is a monarchist or a republican, it is difficult to argue that the Queen is not a calm voice of encouragement and hope in these times. Much as she has been since her first public speech 80 years ago.
 
And recognizing that the Queen is an apolitical figurehead, my intention is not to make any political statement here in this forum, as per the rules ?

Thank you to all of you showing empathy and humanity during this crisis. Definitely it is not time for judging and blacklisting anyone. Special thanks to @purplekow , who is not only fighting the novo-coronavirus in the trenches, but also coming here to show human empathy for everyone, and to confront the sex negativity of targeting only sex workers, when the people not following the guidelines for physical distancing are actually from all professional fields, and are doing it for many reasons besides fucking, like the good souls referenced before by [uSER=3916]@xafnndapp[/uSER] .
 
But talking about sex, this weekend closes my 4th week without hooking up. I am a slut and I am horny, and I may be weak and break my abstinence, but I am doing my best and so far successfully avoiding temptations. Shout out to me and to everyone who is working hard on doing the socially responsible thing.
 
If you are not following the isolation guidelines, I ask you please to reconsider whether you are a sex worker or not. If you are following the guidelines, and pointing and judging and labeling others because of their reaction to this specific crisis, I encourage you to review your attitude and your mindset.

@purplekow I cant express how much it means to be seeing this crisis through your very caring eyes. Your patients and colleagues are blessed to have you.
 
Yesterday I believe you mentioned that you would keep writing these updates as long as people were wanting to receive them.
 
I, for one, would like to continue reading these updates. They have provided us with a dose of humanity during very inhumane times. And for those of us who pray, these updates offer more opportunities for making individualized and specific supplications.
 
My ongoing concern is for your well-being. If writing these updates is cathartic or strengthening to your spirit, please definitely continue.
 
But if writing these updates is causing any additional trauma, or draining your physical/emotional resources beyond what your work is costing you, please prioritize yourself and consider stopping. Your updates are so very thoughtful, but we all need to be thoughtful as well - about the time and energy it must take for you to write them.
 
If you reach a point where updates are not possible, please continue to post a word here and there so we can continue to support you as best as we can. Even a couple of words, like 'hard day today', or 'doing alright' would be appreciated ?

Your patients are truly fortunate to have someone as caring and conscientious as you; they may not always be able to tell you that but I think you know they would if they could. God bless and stay safe.

An amazing post. You and the medical personal are doing an amazing job and stories like your about a single patient are more real than the statistics that flood our news. Your post made the pandemic personal and moved me to tears.
 
Thank you for all you are doing. God bless you and others like you.

It is so sad that he has a mother with cancer and has to choose making money or possibly putting his mother at additional risk assuming that he has contact with her. We are all adults here and have to make our own decisions. I don't think taking a shower before contact is any good if someone is unknowingly carrying the virus and I assume Tom and Rita Hanks have good hygiene as well as most of the cases diagnosed so far. So not sure if that is a valid argument. I am glad to hear that both my regulars are not taking appointments at this time. I am lucky enough to still be working so if and when this comes to an end I hope to see them again.
I understand the need for human contact and may have been tempted at the beginning to hire one last time but now I am glad I didn't. WSW I hope you and everyone you know stays healthy and I am sure there are many on the board that may follow your lead, you just may want to refrain from posting about it for awhile to avoid opinions that you might not like.

I will gladly pay you Tuesday, for a hamburger today

My take (I realize with the benefit of reading about what happened).
 
You should have just stuck to 4:30p and not sent that additional text.
He should have handled the communication much better.
You should NOT have publicly called him out on this. It's not like he did something terrible like rip you off or hurt you.
 
I might think twice as a hypothetical client about hiring an escort if I knew he communicated like this. But I definitely would not want you as a client if I was a hypothetical escort after the shameful behavior you have demonstrated taking this minor disagreement public.

I’m sorry that happened to you. Your tone was polite throughout and you didn’t insist on or require a time change — you merely offered it as a possibility. The provider could have easily said “let’s stick with 5 so I have a chance to eat beforehand”; in fact, I’ve had that exact convo with a provider before, and it didn’t lead to any awkwardness whatsoever. Whatever his typical reviews are like, I’m with Reisr30 on this one: consider this a dodged bullet on a bad day.

My name is not Mary. Shame on you!
 
While I’m not panicking I am being socially responsible. I have family I’m around, and 83+ old parents. Why should I (or you?) risk the health of others around me to satisfy a sexual urge?
 
Bite yourself..sounds like you already are.
