Gentlemen, not a moderator's warning per se, but a reminder that we don't allow screenshots of text or e-mail conversations with providers. We do allow you to post information you may have gleaned from those conversations, but in your own works. This is an extract of our guidelines: We've removed some older content that was recently quoted in this thread, but the pertinent information it conveyed is reflected in other comments that remain.

I had thought driving anywhere in the LA basin was no big deal, people were just welded to their cars?

Welcome to the Forum, @ScottB. It's always good to see escorts coming here!

Some things are possible, and that possibility is perhaps imminent, so there is reason to be concerned about them, even if they represent the furthest right that a pendulum might swing, others are an absolute certainty but most likely further in the future than our species is likely to survive, and those give no cause for any concern.

So the vlieënde Hollander has flown?

You're kidding?!

He had NYC in the future visits in his ad when I looked six or eight hours ago.

Most of us have been here for fewer than 24,000,000 hours.

Did for me.

Dame Patricia Routledge, perhaps best known as Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced Bouquet) and as detective Hetty Wainthropp, has died at 96. Dame Patricia Routledge obituary: The life of TV's magnificently snobby 'Hyacinth Bucket' - BBC News WWW.BBC.COM A much-loved actress who became famous in the role of Hyacinth Bucket in Keeping Up Appearances.

I second that, @Sam Lankton. It's always good to have providers weigh in here, especially when they don't have to come here only to call out disrespectful clients. It's good for some of us to hear your advice, and your reflections on things that make interacting with clients a happier experience than the ones you cite above. The interactions you receive here will probably be similar to those that we see other providers receive, they can be petty, judgmental and condescending. But they can also be warm, empathetic and encouraging. Ignore the bad, engage the good. You don't owe trolls a reaction.

A finale like the 1812 perhaps?

Here's an older thread about this masseur.

Oh, the irony!

I think Jane Goodall would be delighted that people remember her with a laugh when reminded of this cartoon and the story it generated, rather than with an unalloyed sadness at her passing. She had a long life, she inspired people, and was continuing to live her life to its full for all her 91 years, on a speaking tour even this week. Not everyone can take kindly to being the subject of gentle, or even any, humour or satire, much less turn it to their advantage. To do so demonstrated her strength, character and self-awareness.

.... as a three dollar bill.

For those who mark the season and this day: G'mar chatimah tovah.

Imagine the horror of going to town and not seeing anyone. Worse, no one seeing you! The indignity!

Wow,15,00,000 rupees is a lot of money!

Damn, hadn't noticed he was here.

*you're, but otherwise a serious and important thing to be prepared to say to your friends.
