  1. That's something reasonable to ask, and others may be interested in previous accounts of meetings with him. The two purposes can coexist in this thread.
  2. Welcome to our forum, @TxDaddyBear. Responses of the type made about you are, regrettably, inevitable in a forum such as this. Most here are able to accept that others have different desires and preferences and are able to respect that. I'm sure your experiences here will improve, even though there may be some lapses.
  3. I've seen RM ads for visitors to Palm Spring, but not in our Visiting Providers forum. That seems to follow a pattern that's been apparent for some time, escorts are not using it. The Deli is the best place to discuss who might or might not be in town this weekend, the Providers forum is for them to announce their visits, not for us to discuss whether they might.
  4. This has elements both of the ups and the downs of air travel, physical and emotional. I arrived in San Francisco on Sunday evening, but my checked bag did not. I had last seen it at the Virgin Australia check-in desk in Canberra, also on Sunday, but 36 hours earlier. The signs had been there. Virgin is not a usual partner with Cathay Pacific, there had been minor glitches at check-in and again getting Cathay boarding passes in Brisbane, bits of information had disappeared from the airline's record, minor and easily resolved but annoying. The first sign that something significant had actually happened, a sign both good and bad, was that Cathay paged me at baggage claim with the paperwork already started. My bag wasn't there, but they already knew and were ahead of the game. I signed the forms, gave them my contact details and went to my hotel (complimentary toiletries there, and the loan of a plug adaptor, thank you). By early Monday afternoon I had Cathay's reply to my e-mail, telling me that Virgin was shipping my bag direct to San Francisco on a United flight (UA97) from Brisbane (confirming to me that it was Virgin that had dropped the ball). It arrived on Tuesday morning. All good? Not quite! By the time my bag had completed it's arrival formalities, it arrived at Cathay just in time for them to call me as I was about to board my flight to Palm Springs. Simples, it turns out. They said they'd FedEx it to Inndulge overnight. FedEx promised morning delivery, that didn't happen, but the bag duly arrived and we're having an emotional reunion. Lost or delayed luggage is not pleasant and it is, at the very least, inconvenient, and I chose to buy some resort-compatible (and 35°C compatible) clothes to fill the gap. What I've taken from it is that some airlines can deal with it professionally and expeditiously, Cathay Pacific now confirmed to me as being one of them. I don't know how common this is, but I'm batting 1000 on professionally handled baggage issues (only a sample of two, the other being Qantas, that one caused by an AA connection). I count the whole experience as 'glass half-full'.
  5. The dire predictions have moderated somewhat, high teens no longer (aka low 60s), now into the 20s (70ish) on Sunday. Not ideal pool weather, but overcoats no longer needed (unless you like that sort of thing). Perhaps the predictions will improve further!
  6. Should be easy enough on the LIRR with that time.
  7. This, and also perhaps an urge to play the agent provocateur.
  8. That is a question often posed, sometimes in silence, about new threads around here.
  9. Many do, and in the context of balanced description of an escort's attributes and one's experience with him, appropriate. I think making a random drive-by comment that mentions tattoos alone solely to disparage them, when anyone who cares can already see the tattoos in an ad, is gratuitous and borderline disrespectful.
  10. FYI https://rent.men/KristianLA If you search KristianLA or Kristian Elix here you'll find many references in different threads.
  11. Tomasek is planning a visit to the US, so it's appropriate for his thread to be in the Deli rather than in the Europe forom.

    He's London based and there's a thread about him in the Europe forum. This thread can remain here as it's about him visiting the US. (There is one comment at the end of the linked thread quoting a rate from when he was in SF last week.)
  13. You can't be too careful.
  14. I can't imagine what could possibly replace a pool as a source of entertainment.
  15. I have one somewhere. If I'm not mistaken, it is on United Airlines flight 97 from Brisbane to San Francisco, having decided, along with my bag and the rest of its contents, to take a direct flight, leaving me alone to take in the pleasures of a layover in Hong Kong en route. The 'umbrella', at least, I have not missed in the intervening period, and hope it will not be unfurled for the balance of my trip.
  16. I was intentionally making light of the issue. There's always things worth doing in smaller cities, just this might not be the ideal forum to learn of such activities. I spent four months on a DOD course in Omaha, so I speak with some, dated, experience. (Don't @ me, @LukePhx!)
  17. Your advantage is you could abuse them back, and they won't realise it or better, think you were being complimentary.
  18. At least. Nothing to do with monks, an apparently spurious derivation of the name, although your experience may be monastic.
  19. I seem to carry quite a lot, but it hasn't caused anything like that.
  20. If I'm not mistaken, it's not always the escort's choice about which photos are 'premium', RM can classify them as such. I don't know whether escorts are told if RM does that.
  21. I hadn't noticed before, there's a small orange blob on the 49th parallel in southern Alberta or Saskatchewan and a dot to its north east. Those are Kerguelen Islands and Heard Island respectively, sub-antarctic islands, in the case of Heard Island known more recently as the home of penguins and not much else apart from glaciers and a 2,745m active volcano. And the subject of some recent notoriety. And please no comments about the weather sounding just like the prairie provinces or Montana.
  22. ... And on its other big day, the fish markets are apparently jumping ... https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2026/apr/03/packed-to-the-gills-shoppers-embrace-new-sydney-fish-market-during-good-friday-rush (Ed: Sheesh, errant apostrophe removed!]
  23. I think this is an interesting perspective. Australia isn't on the opposite side of the world from the US but it's close. Apart from that direct comparison, the map illustrates that the centre of Australia's continental mass is closer to the equator than that of the US.
  24. Not just you, he has contacted others too. The best approach is to put him on 'ignore'. He will still be able to see things you've posted but you won't see his content (unless someone else quotes him in a comment they make). He also won't be able to PM you. Here's the link: https://www.companyofmen.org/ignore/ Edited to add. Yes, that's the account name. The sheer effrontery of it.
  25. Really? I always assumed it was about Dallas! Why would I not? What else could 'Big D' mean, after all?
