    RadioRob got a reaction from Chidude in READ ME: Message Forum Moved to New Server   
    We're lucky in that we were able to save EVERYTHING. Thanks to the work of Orin and "Team Washington", they were able to get root level access to the server. That allowed me to export the entire forum entirely as-is and move it to a new server.
     
    I have not had a chance to export other sites such as the review site. I'll attempt to work on that later.

    I texted a dancer that I know there a few days back. They just reopened yesterday. While dancers are there and mingling, no VIPs. Have not heard how yesterday went.

    One of the dancers posted on their Twitter the club is expecting to reopen in the next few weeks. So that makes sense.

    A couple of notes as this is a hobby topic of mine:
     

    Even if you were to close every credit account you have, it would continue to report on your credit report for up to another 10 years. (Bad info such as late payments have to be removed after 7.5 years.)
    You can view your credit report for FREE and without any impact to your score by visiting www.annualcreditreport.com and requesting a report from each of the big 3 bureaus.
    In terms of scoring, various behaviors represent how many points you have (or not awarded). Details can be found at: https://www.myfico.com/credit-education/whats-in-your-credit-score
    For MAXIMUM scoring in the "Amounts Owed", you would want to have each revolving trade line (such as a credit card) report a $0 balance except for ONE which would report less than 10%. (The statement should be generated at $0. For the statement generating with less than 10%, you can immediately pay it off after it reports and not incur interest). This technique is referred to as "All Zero Except One".
    If you're trying to maximize your score, you should have at least 3 revolving accounts reporting. (Having at least three accounts gains a few extra points which tend to be more than penalties associated with lowering the Average Age of Accounts and the inquiry ding).

    Also... just for a bit of perspective. While I'm not retired (and won't be for awhile longer), there is not anything to really worry about. Even if you don't have any active debt. Having a credit card and just letting some automatic charges such as Netflix hit it and auto-pay from your checking is all you need to keep a revolving trade line open.
     
    You don't need to take on new debt to have a good credit score. Just use the credit wisely and pay on time. All the same rules that apply pre-retirement would continue to apply afterwards. Good luck!

    Renovations started pre-COVID. I was just down there mid-Feb and it was underway then. So it makes sense they would try to wrap it up while forced to close.
     
    GivenBoardwalk’s recent renovations, it does not surprise me.

    RadioRob got a reaction from LivingnLA in Cruise Coming Up, Would You Take?   
    I’m finishing a six day cruise as I type this. Pull back into Port Everglades in six hours. Had a blast. Felt safer on the ship than I did in the neighborhood to be honest. Seeing everyone temperature checked, sanitized areas every few hours, everyone washing hands...
     
    Could something happen? Sure. But it’s like flying. You’re more likely to die in a car accident then in the air. But it’s the plane crash that makes the news.
     
    I’m going to live my life. Yes, I’ll be diligent with regards to sanitization but I’m not going to lock myself at home and hide. (Unless I get sick and actually need to quarantine.)

    Its nude gogo basically. Similar to Secrets where there is no lap dances/VIP, etc. When Lucky's upstairs is open, there are nude guys on the bar in the center of the room. It's a big square. The dancers rotate around the bar in the buff basically. You tip them in leg bands they're wearing.
     
    It meets the requirements for inclusion, but I was just calling out that the bar is open 7 days a week starting at like 2pm. Dancers only happen Thurs-Sun after 9pm.

    Sometimes a provider can come off as rude or less than interested because of other things happening. While in an ideal world, it would be about the client and only them... it rarely is an ideal world.
     
    If they’re communication is that off putting, you move on and find someone else. But for those with a little understanding and ability to just chill and go with the flow... there could be a really awesome diamond in the rough.
     
    And just as you say if the escort does not learn how to deal with all clients they won’t be in the business long... the inverse is true too. This is a two way street where BOTH sides should be a little understanding.

    RadioRob got a reaction from + Cock Eyed Optimist in Ft.Lauderdale leboy and Boardwalk what happened?   
    Cost for private rooms were cheaper. Normally it was 90 for 15 min with 50 to dancer, 40 to house. Cost was 70 with 50 to dancer and 20 to house. No self-parking fee, but valet available for $10. Well vodka drinks were under $5 ($3-4 depending on night.)
     
    I'm horrible with names, so I apologize for not remembering. But most dances were fun and very interactive. Out of 5 dances, only one I would not repeat. (The guy who was selling shots and was pretty new. Not comfortable in the back really at all but was friendly and fun to talk with before hand.)
     
    I saw one of the dancers I know from prior trips moved from LB to Johnson's. Says he still likes LB, but the crowds are getting smaller. Johnsons was much more money for him. I went by Johnson's on Wednesday and I could certainly see a significant difference in crowd size.
     
    Johnson's however because of the curtain rule does not allow for as much interaction.

    I think it’s very easy for us to sit here and play armchair quarterback. We don’t know what’s going on in his life and what may or may not have happened.
     
    We hire someone to fill a role or fantasy for a period of time and then for them to disappear from our lives.
     
    Killian was nothing but a professional when we spent time together. I will always remember those times fondly and will hope that whatever is happening in his life works out in the end. It does not make sense for me to sit here and try to pass judgement on him since I don’t know the full story and I don’t know his life outside of our time together.
     
    Quite frankly I don’t think I ever really want to know... it’s better to just have the fantasy and the moment of pleasure.
     
    I’m I would encourage folks here to do the same. Don’t ruin the fantasy. Have your fun and then send them home. You’re not hiring them as a life partner or auditioning them as a best friend.

    Like anything else, any opinions/reviews can be very skewed. What is hot to someone is a total turn off to another. The review only really matters if it is from someone you share similar tastes with and trust their opinion.
     
    In addition, talent can vary from night to night. So while day 1 might be awesome, night two might be a bust. That does not necessarily mean they’ve gone downhill.
     
    I have not made it back to Miami yet to see it, but I know the General Manager, Sam. He ran the old Floppy and has been in the business forever. I remember him when he was a bartender in DC before he and his husband moved south. He runs a tight ship and I’m confident he’ll have a good club.

    Hmm, you have to wonder about the guys writing those reviews. A $15 cover charge is a pittance compared to what you'll spend on drinks, tips, and lap dances. Anyone grousing about a $15 cover is probably not the kind of customer either dancers or management want in the first place.
     
    I don't know what drinks cost, but if the reviewers are complaining about a $15 cover, then I'm guessing drink prices aren't that outrageous.
     
    So I have to fill out a form before I can see hot guys shoving their goody package in my face? Uh ... where do I sign?!
