First, have a high FICO score to get the best CC offers. It could be points, miles, cashback or a combo. Get the card and satisfy the terms of the deal. Likely a minimum spend in a certain number of months. Churn the card by paying it to zero and shelving it, or just cancel if you don't think there will be a reward clawback. There are a ton of CC blogs and groups out there that go into insane, minute detail. Every card. Every offer. Everything. Even how to snag more points/miles/rewards through retention agents. These are the people who likely have a spreadsheet for everything in their lives. I don't fault them: I just don't have the willpower to do the same.

Atlantis attracts young and old: Price isn't so prohibitively expensive that it keeps away the tweaking twerking twinks and wannabe OF crowd. I mean, it's an NCL or Celebrity ship.... Not Ponant. One Atlantis cruise was enough for me. It's like being stuck at the club long after the lights have come on. I did one RSVP cruise from Asia on an Azamara ship and it was fun. Totally different crowd. The cost and travel obligation kept a lot of the dumpster fire contingent away. Have done several R Family cruises. They always have interesting itens and pick unique ships.

Well, that's why I always bring plastic drop cloth with me into any female strip club.

As with any review site, caveat emptor. https://www.yelp.com/biz/showworld-west-babylon https://www.google.com/search?q=showworld+long+island&oq=showworld+long+island&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIICAEQABgWGB4yCAgCEAAYFhgeMg0IAxAAGIYDGIAEGIoFMg0IBBAAGIYDGIAEGIoFMg0IBRAAGIYDGIAEGIoFMgYIBhBFGDwyBggHEEUYPNIBCDI1OTFqMGo3qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#

Just wait until his father hears about this job...

But like I said, this isn't Fellowes going for Chaucer... This is fluff. Pure, unadulterated fluff. That all depends on how you look at it. I watch Gilded the same way I watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: As camp, as near-farce. It keeps things light. I don't overthink it. The set and costume design is superb. He got the best Broadway designers in on this action and it shows.

I'm not sure what people are expecting. This isn't Chaucer. It's a dishy, swishy, blurry-on-historical-facts kinda show. It never was meant to be perfectly factual. To me, it's like watching Dynasty and pointing out all of the things that would never be in Denver.

I trust my apple watch ultra, knowing what tech they pack into it. It's pretty accurate and has sensors that are spec-above most other trackers. However, I have huge questions about the monitor I wear when doing Orange Theory.

Zero cc debt with $300k+ of open credit. I played the churn game for years and have now settled into a handful of cards that give me the benefits I use most. I'll only keep a balance going if the card offers me 0%. Otherwise, it's paid off monthly.

I've always had a thing for buzzcuts and skinheads. Super fucking sexy.

Love these. Super crazy comfortable.

Abu Dhabi and Doha are beautiful, fascinating places to visit. So, yes.... I'd be fine with that.

For me, it would be very easy considering he's built like a 15yo teenager and not a man. As soon as he's got the ass and legs to fill out those Versace briefs, I'm game.

Many Americans confuse tea nomenclature. They just see 'high' and confuse it for 'fancy.' It's as big of a pet peeve of mine as travelers who misspeak 'direct' when they actually mean 'nonstop' QR is one of the many reasons I keep loyalty with OneWorld. Their J seating is fantastic. Truth be told, I think SQ bests them in service and that their seating is more comfortable through the entire cabin, not just J and F. Emirates has let so much of their fleet age, I don't even consider them a contender anymore.

You commented with humor and didn't get personal or mean. You know the difference. You always have. My comments weren't directed toward you (or anyone in-kind).

This. 100% I'd like to see some personal photos from the members here negatively commenting. Let's see how they look. See how svelte and chiseled they appear. See how they take care of their bodies. Unless you have experience with this escort, you have zero skin in the game. Have some fucking couth. You can easily not like something without coming across as a complete and total asshole. The false shroud of internet anonymity does not mean you can treat others badly.

This reminds me of one of my favorite exchanges in Showgirls...

No, it's not. Not unless the client makes it a part of the equation. A smart escort doesn't negotiate shopping into his rate. His rate should simply be his rate. Anything more is icing on the cake. Anything less is compromising his good business sense. If a client wants to allow shopping, sure, that's fine: Don't be excessive. Don't be nouveau riche and go for the most expensive thing on the menu just because you can. Respect your client. Luxury goods aren't cheap by design. The whole 'aspirational lifestyle' bullshit seems to draw some people in. I still don't understand a lot of it. It's smoke & mirrors. For me, it was a marked point in life when I could afford nice things on my own. That's when I knew I had handled my business properly. It was validation.

With a minimum $50 buy-in, I can't imagine too many around here will partake

An escort who negotiates his rate down just to do a little shopping with a client has questionable business sense. Hopefully these guys figure out how to micromanage profitability, but for most of them, they never do.

GA has much better viewership and, frankly, a better cast and script.

Jordan was THIS close to taking over the lead in Moulin Rouge on Broadway... And I woulda paid whatever they wanted to hear him sing it. But, this show has great music and it'll fit him like a glove. I saw the run while it was at Papermill last year. I'm sure they'll spend a mint to bring it to Broadway.

It's happened to me... A super ugly bend, but thankfully not a full fracture. Happened during someone riding me reverse-cowboy. Super painful. Literal blue/black balls for several weeks. It healed and I don't tread in that position anymore.
