Wow !

I rarely enjoy it which is why I rarely do it. Many have tried but the most skilled top guy I've met is Jake Walker. That was a really enjoyable experience.. he really knew what he was doing.

I very much appreciate not being given the flu or a cold, though I'm sure that this may be untrue in some cases. I guess the truth cuts both ways. One guy told me three hours AFTER our meeting time (i.e, he stood me up) that he had been contacted by a regular who wanted to hire him for the weekend and, because it was significantly more money, he decided to not meet me for our 2-hour appointment (no explanation about about not letting me know in advance)

Some people are funny about this. There is a guy who I was seeing twice a week for a couple of months this summer and we got to know each other fairly well and I was always generous with a tip before leaving. However, unless I preemptively dropped the envelope on the table before we got comfortable he always reminded me with "let's get the money part taken care of and out of the way so we can have fun". I never asked but I assume he had had some bad experiences... who knows.

His schedule shows a visit to this part of the hundred acre wood so it’s no longer theoretical to me. Forgetting all the commentary about rate, hair, etc. and noting the all-positive reviews, it seems like there are nothing but positive comments from anyone who’s actually met him. Have I missed any experiential information?

There’s something very weird about this story. The instrument hasn’t been presented for payment and the notion that the payor is unable to void it seems very weird. If this were the case then it is the equivalent of shipping gold bullion. (Also, everyone involved should have insisted on a wire transfer and there’s no mention of an attorney being retained - an obvious first step.) I suspect there is more to this story.

Is there room service ?

Has anyone met the young gentleman who has any impressions to share?

Ask in advance about anything that is important to you. There’s a gentleman who I was very interested in and, in the course of scheduling an appointment, I mentioned that kissing was important to me. He said something like “I will kiss but but not, like, the whole time.” That suggested to me that any kissing would be reluctant and I politely thanked him for his trouble. Kissing seems like an integral part of anything that could be termed a BFE

Ask her to write up a treatment plan- it’s a standard process - and take it to another dentist for a consult.

What she said. Attempt market timing at your own peril. Don't buy anything you don't understand. Think in terms of the triangle - as you age the wider the base of your triangle should be. Lottery tickets and BTC's are at the tip of my triangle... they're fun like cotton candy.

Alas, he’s back in Prague now. I asked him to let me know if he plans to come early back to the US.

I would take advantage of his offer but don’t financially paint yourself into a corner such that you can’t walk away at a moments notice if things suddenly went badly. There are good people out there who sincerely want to help but ultimately you can’t count on anyone but yourself.

It’s a commonly-cited example of wildly speculative investing but it’s worth a reread. The principle is the same as BTC except accelerated to light-speed with instant trades and everyone carrying a smart device around in their pocket. In 1593 tulips were brought from Turkey and introduced to the Dutch. The novelty of the new flower made it widely sought after and therefore fairly pricey. After a time, the tulips contracted a non-fatal virus known as mosaic, which didn't kill the tulip population but altered them causing "flames" of color to appear upon the petals. The color patterns came in a wide variety, increasing the rarity of an already unique flower. Thus, tulips, which were already selling at a premium, began to rise in price according to how their virus alterations were valued, or desired. Everyone began to deal in bulbs, essentially speculating on the tulip market, which was believed to have no limits. The true bulb buyers (the garden centers of the past) began to fill up inventories for the growing season, depleting the supply further and increasing scarcity and demand. Soon, prices were rising so fast and high that people were trading their land, life savings, and anything else they could liquidate to get more tulip bulbs. Many Dutch persisted in believing they would sell their hoard to hapless and unenlightened foreigners, thereby reaping enormous profits. Somehow, the originally overpriced tulips enjoyed a twenty-fold increase in value - in one month! Needless to say, the prices were not an accurate reflection of the value of a tulip bulb. As it happens in many speculative bubbles, some prudent people decided to sell and crystallize their profits. A domino effect of progressively lower and lower prices took place as everyone tried to sell while not many were buying. The price began to dive, causing people to panic and sell regardless of losses. Dealers refused to honor contracts and people began to realize they traded their homes for a piece of greenery; panic and pandemonium were prevalent throughout the land. The government attempted to step in and halt the crash by offering to honor contracts at 10% of the face value, but then the market plunged even lower, making such restitution impossible. No one emerged unscathed from the crash. Even the people who had locked in their profit by getting out early suffered under the following depression. The effects of the tulip craze left the Dutch very hesitant about speculative investments for quite some time. Investors now can know that it is better to stop and smell the flowers than to stake your future upon one Reference: https://www.investopedia.com/features/crashes/crashes2.asp

if I could short BTC today I would... futures start trading Sunday afternoon but few retail brokers are participating. Hypothetically I’d buy January at 10,000’ish. The next few weeks will be interesting in that there’s not much precedent for what’s going to happen.

I never knew this about her - this is awesome Thanks for sharing. " These kids at the Ali Forney Center are literally dumped by their families because of the fact that they are lesbian, gay or transgender — this organization really is saving lives," the actress told New York Magazine in 2005.

Has anyone met Ryan ? https://rentmen.eu/RyanR

That would creep me out.

Anyway. I've not heard anyone express a fondness for a monopolized, single-provider niche for listing services M4RN, Hourboy, BackPage and others are slowly evaporating or being hobbled, solidifying that single-provider position in the listing service marketplace Presumably both clients and providers benefit from a competing listing service, if for no other reason than to encourage RM to be responsive & affordable Therefore, it would seem to be in the best interests of everyone who cared to see any competitor thrive, even if it is flawed. Any critically-flawed business model will inevitably fail but if the demand for a service persists then another will appear in the marketplace - if you don't like it then simply wait with benign disregard for this to occur. It seems to me that the most constructive step forward for everyone who cares is to give constructive feedback, make suggestions, sacrifice a goat, or whatever, for any RM competitor. It's nothing personal; it's just business.
