Yeah, this was definitely a normal, run-of-the-mill, casual post that wasn't intended on stirring any pot. There are those of us who have been on these boards for decades, having amassed 100+ 5-star reviews in previous site incarnations. We are the escorts who have great reputations that precede them. Known, viable, solid providers. Some of us are at a point where we feel we can post here freely- sharing honest opinions and viewpoints- without the need to pollyanna on a constant basis. I've earned that right, quite frankly. This current admin would be, what I would consider, the exact opposite of playing favorites. We all get our hand slapped when we deserve it.

That's a valid question. Actually, I'm told that this is what happens when you stop getting the injections...

As long as USAA covers FL, they will cover me. They're not going anywhere and one of the best. But bottom line, you can find a million reasons anywhere not to purchase. It's not just Florida. A ton of people make emotional decisions and then have regret later. I can't support that and don't feel sorry for those buyers. The sea will rise. The sun will eventually burn out. Welcome to the realities of life. We move forward. Do your due diligence. It's not rocket science. It just takes some patience and discipline. This is likely one of the largest purchases of your life. Why would you not?

Something tells me they're going to need to replace the backdrop often from her constant chewing on it.

This show, sadly, closes today. I saw it again yesterday and the cast is just fantastic. It's a shame it didn't find an audience. The music is well-arranged, the band sounds great, the vocals strong and the book is smart. I hope this can find some success regionally. That said, they likely won't cast it with a guy who looks like Corey Cott. Not only can the guy sing, but looks great in just a towel.

Aside from a shady realtor, what the hell ever happened to personal responsibility? We now live in a world where it's always someone else's fault.

Ike told Tina he cared for her too. What he's doing is pulling a variation of the ol' do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do routine. Classic hypocrite move. What he's also doing is infantilizing you, thinking you have no clue what you're doing. If it were me, I'd feel comfortable telling a close friend to kindly fuck off. You can handle it as gently as you see fit.

No, make it CDMX. The air quality, while technically might seem bad, isn't that awful. NYC's air is something I'd consider more irritating. Mexico City is massive, inexpensive, incredibly cultural, temperate and a lot of fun.

You got a bunch of good people to take the time to reply with some sage advice. If you can't figure it out still, just consider yourself shit outta luck on this one. If you're waiting for someone to post the Fire Island gay escort equivalent of the Ark of the Covenant, you may be waiting for awhile.

Simply put: You don't buy into a condo if you cannot afford what could be major assessments. These aren't some newfangled ideas. When you play the HOA/Co-op game, this is what can and often will happen. Buildings of this size need constant upkeep, especially in South Florida. This reminds me a bit of the people who buy into timeshares and then realize it's bullshit and they can't get out from under it because they signed the contract. This is why you buy a home or stand-alone condo not under an HOA. All of this could have been avoided if the buyer had any savvy for purchasing real estate.

We suggested to go in for a simple MRI for a better idea of any damage. It's not like we said he needed a full-frontal lobotomy. And frankly, you haven't proved who you say who you are anyway, so all of this remains conjecture. Including my post. Welcome to the internet.

When you have the opportunity to write a memoir-style book (and are then asked for a treatment by a major publisher), it's a massive double-edged sword. Once you spill the beans and tell tales out of school- the kinds of stories that actually sell books- you're persona non grata in your own industry, risking lawsuits, both personal and against your publisher. It's just a bad position to be in. It's a risk a lot of publishers won't take. If you write the cliche self-discovery story with minor splashes of cloaked sex work, the story becomes a lot less fun and more of what we've read so many times before: A personal trauma compilation mixed with some positive mantras at the end to help the reader avoid needing a Zoloft. My comment here wasn't directed towards Armand. It was a general statement about our industry and the stories that come out about it.

It's Florida. Weather happens. What else makes you say that all of Florida is now for fools and a bad investment?

I just wanna know what era you're living in... And then join you.

As @MikeBiDude said, get the MRI. Don't be a hero. With this kind of injury, you want to know the full extent, good or bad. A high-contrast MRI will give you a better picture of what's going on. Do not wait for this to get worse.... Because it will.

Your friend is an asshole and not a real friend

And this is why he doesn't price himself low. He's not an escort for everyone. From some of the snarky replies on this thread, it's clear there are those here who harbor resentment about that, whether they are willing to admit it or not.

Summer muscle, had me a blast.

I'll be there for the late show. Was able to snag a seat in a rear-right box. I'll likely migrate to the GA floor by the end of the show. Great production. Amazing cause.

Calling a Black escort 'ghetto' is casually racist and what most in the POC community would consider a microaggression. C'mon... It's really not that difficult to be a decent human being. And please don't attempt to justify this bullshit on 'what Chicagoans do and think.' I'm from Chicago, born and raised. You're wrong.

Yeah, The Globe and Regent's Park would have been an insanely better choice.

How long are you gonna flog this conspiracy theory? Like, second gunman on the grassy knoll long or just some good old-fashioned QAnon here and gone long?

@Rick Munroe His ass should be dipped in bronze like baby shoes.
