  1. I worked all my life in a university setting where faculty and others thought they had free access to any site any time. I disagree and say, you are at work, you should not be using the time to search certain web sites, although faculty would say it was for research purposes. Come on, while we enjoy the freedom to see such sites as this use discretion. If not, stop your bitching

  2. OK, not an exciting post but wanted to check with others about any assistance you can provide using siri for directions. I would say, siri, directions to NYC, and she'd respond getting directions. They'd show up on my phone but would also get verbal instructions. Now suddenly no verbal directions; anyone experiencing same or how to fix. I know use something else, but siri has been right on target, thanks

  3. I did drop a note with customer services and they responded they were aware and were working on the issue. Thanks for everyone's input!

  4. Hi, anyone else having difficulty accessing Adam4Adam. No problem previously but wouldn't let me use Chrome Browser, switched to explorer and it accepted but now keeps telling me pass word incorrect...??

  5. Well I thought this was about parents drinking so a bit confused about some of the responses. My father was a bartendar all his life and a World War 2 vet when the American Legion and VFW flourished. He drank heavily but so did his friends. My mother would drink coffee through the day but had some wine or a scotch fizz on the rocks but would also be up at 4am to go to work. So I grew up in a household of hard drinking and hard smoking family but it was common and I didn't know any better.

  6. Great thread. I'm just retiring, finishing up my financials and also had to calculate my fun time expenses. As I was talking with my financial adviser he was a bit surprised at my discretionary spending amount and asked me. My comment was, I've enjoyed a custom of having flexible cash around for my fun, and want the same when I retire. Didn't go any further but it was obvious that close to $500 per week sparked his interest...

  8. Thanks. I enjoy listening to music I like to hear when I drive, all types. Siruis provides that, I'm a non techie so now that they no longer provide cd players in cars I like sirius but also know that they will screw you. I don't mind being screwed and paying money but I'd like something in returnj.

  9. Thanks. Well today after my $300 plus bill, guess what, a $123 bill but was told I had to put on auto pay for future years at $300 (and I didn't). For heaven sakes it's like Spectrum of course they are worse. Interestingly enough my first counter offer was $198; I responded gee that's more than I paid last year, guess what, came back with $123.

  10. I seek your help. I'm retiring the end of this week after 46 years on the job so to speak. Had a great professional career, did good, etc. But I am over weight and know that. Now covid didn't help much although I was in the office every day but I didn't get up and about as much, and that wasn't much, as I should. Soo my question, any idea on buying a simple stationary bike of some type for my man cave. No don't need computers, don't need someone telling me how fast or slow I'm going, just a basic comfortable machine I can sit on for times during the day to listen to music or watch some tv on my new huge bose sound TV. I'm serious, hope I can count on you for some assistance.

  11. OK, so I'm an older pudgy guy with nothing to show but I can't find all the hot comments about Shawn and his bulges. Maybe I missed something but saw his underwear ad and absolutely saw nothing that impressed me. Now he's handsome and I would answer the door if he came visiting, but anyone else thing the same way?

  12. Hello everyone. Well, I'm not getting my spirits up as my birthday is December 30! Be getting closer to 70 years old. Usually have a great time with friends and family, meet at a favorite italian restaurant but this year won't be the same. It is getting me down a bit unfortunately as a single gay male. Not the same "zooming" it. So here I am feeling sorry for myself already. And happy holidays!

  13. Just reflecting on my current market, and I’m dismayed by the fact that I have few, if any... regulars in this area (though I was also informed by another provider that he had similar experience in Kansas City).

     

    It’s funny because I’ve had a handful of attempted regulars: that is, someone I’ll meet the 1st time fine; but then on their 2nd offer to meet, something will happen with schedule or communication, and then never end up meeting again. Like, they’ll want to meet at a time that’s not convenient for me, but when I try to reserve a day to do so, they either don’t respond, or respond hours or days later, saying they can’t make it. Or they’ll be a regular a couple times or so, but then do things to irritate me here and there over the phone, and it sours the relationship.

     

    It’s bugging me because at a time like now (it’s been dead and I have urgent things to handle), I look back on the appointments I’ve had over the past year in my local area, and only 2 have been a regular so far. But now I’m down to 1. Granted I travel often so I have regulars in other cities. But I’ve reached out to several to see about reschedule, they may say yes... but then don’t follow back up. Then I hear about another escort coming to town saying he’s got a couple regulars he’s seen last time he was here...and that just makes me feel like, I can imagine these guys are still in the hiring circuit, but for whatever reason, they aren’t reliable to the local guys. And I can tell because the listings in Kansas City drop significantly on a regular basis. It’s evident the local guys can’t make it here.

     

    I try to do things like follow up, leave cards, send links to reviews and JFF which help. I know there’s been suggestions of frequent sucker/fucker programs. I’m just not big on discounting sessions, because if a person is the only client I have that day/week, a discount is only going to leave me with less money or more overhead. Or, if the regular only comes around every 4-6 months, that’s not really “regular” enough to start offering bargains.

    I've been more and more disappointed that scheduling an appointment should be not when I desire. I just ask, I'm available on Friday-Sunday's at such and such a time and have booked appointments. Only to be told, after the time has arrived and gone, well I usually don't do afternoon's or mornings. But that's what we agreed to. I make a commitment at my end on my time and my resources. Sorry I expect the same
