Did he 'add you' on FB, something that I'm not sure you can do unilaterally, or a) did he ask you to friend him, or b) did FB suggest him as a friend?

You may be surprised how many potential clients use a VPN (perhaps more so in here where VPN/overseas access to those reviews has been discussed from time to time) or who are not in the US will have read your great reviews.

Great, it'll be good to see you again.

The song still has the power to haunt, in the same way it did when I first heard it almost 50 years ago.

In my higher school certificate I discovered when I sat for the French exam that my teacher had omitted one mandatory text and taught us one that wasn't on the curriculum. I still passed, for what it's worth. That was one school and frankly one slightly ditzy teacher. This instance was at eight schools in Queensland, but even so only eight of many schools state-wide. Not all would have had Ancient History as an option for the final years of school, it's not typically a popular elective subject, but nevertheless this was a significant story for several days after it broke, while the authorities sorted out what had happened. In Australia, each state runs external examinations as the final chapter in a high school education, and schools are required to teach to the curricula for the various subjects. There is discretion by schools as to which subjects are offered but that is determined by demand for them by students and the specialist teachers they have available to teach, not any sort of oversight committee or community board, at least for state schools. Religious and independent schools have their own processes but their students still take the same exams. Some independent schools also offer the international baccalaureate. And as so often happens, in the story posted above, it's not the Australian Broadcasting Company. The ABC, like its counterparts in Canada and the UK is the public sector broadcaster, and it's a corporation owned by the commonwealth government but managed at arms length by a board. I believe that in Canada, that type of structure is called a crown corporation. The ABC is independent of the government, often aggressively so, by no means a 'state broadcaster' although I have seen US press outlets refer to it as such.

Is it really seven years? I guess so.

I believe BoyGeorge is not an American, so he may have been asking rather than assuming it was a particular currency., But I assumed that the amount was 250 Reias. Thank you for the confirmation.

I suspect in part it comes from people hearing the plural masseurs and confusing it with the singular for a different type of provider.

As PK mentioned, events have been held, or contemplated, in other locations. To me, one of the things that makes this one, and DC to a lesser extent, work is that it's a location that requires a deliberate decision and a commitment to spend at least a night away from home (longer if more than one of the events is attended). It requires earlier commitment than an event in one's home city, and therefore more thought before deciding to cancel. To me, the weekend is an event, and it's in a city that provides near certainty of weather and won't overwhelm the event with other attractions or commitments for those few days. So yes, an event in the LA basin would be possible, but it I doubt it could be a substitute for the Palm Springs event.

There has been some useful and thoughtful commentary in this thread, but as others have alluded to, not all of it is encouraging. People will always see a variety of things in what's presented when asked about an uncomfortable experience. Almost everyone here has been there, reflected on what went well and what did not, and drawn conclusions of their own and the other party's actions. Some of those conclusions can be uncomfortable or even challenging. When anyone poses the question here, not everyone will see it the same way, but when someone offers a raw or pained description of how they felt I think we owe them understanding and a serious explanation of how that experience could be seen, maybe differently than they did, for better or worse, not simply an endorsement of the questioner's opinions about it. We certainly don't need to denigrate anyone's opinion of how their session went down, even if we see it in ways they might not agree with. And definitely not to offer them a gratuitous character assessment over what they asked.

In a heart-breading echo of the death of Australian test cricketer Phil Hughes in 2014, a young cricketer from suburban Melbourne died on Thursday after having been hit in the neck by a ball being bowled to him in the practice nets. He had been wearing a helmet but not neck flaps that have become common, and mandatory in some profession games, since Hughes' death. Ben Austin was 17. At a state-level game today in Melbourne between Victoria and Tasmania, players leant their bats, with caps balanced on the handles, against the fence of the oval while they paused on the field for a minute's silence. In Mumbai, the Australian and Indian women's teams wore black arm bands for their semi-final in the one-day world cup.

I raised the question a couple of days ago with another regular attendee, and I plan to be there for that weekend. I haven't booked at InnDulge yet but was planning to do so in the coming days. If anything is arranged, even just intentions to attend with the idea of arranging meals without a formal organiser, I'm in. Some of you may have seen the post I wrote a couple of days ago in the thread suggesting a NYC meeting of escorts and/or clients. So I know that anything remotely resembling Oliver's level of organisation is a major effort, not to be undertaken lightly, and I'm in no position to help for obvious reasons.

True, GDP is more like the revenue of the 'enterprise', and even attempting to compare the assessed value of a company (and market cap is but one way of assessing it, and a perhaps dubious one) with the value of production, or revenue of a country (and value of production and revenue are not necessarily the same) is a curious comparison. Is is a method for the owners of capital to inflate their value in the world and puff up their egos? My assessment of the comparison. Cute. But almost meaningless.

A reception on Parliament Hill perhaps? But we're getting ahead of ourselves.

I understand there are alternative rail transit options for Hartford. Not that I've even been there to visit anyone.

Gentlemen, here's an older thread for reference. We won't combine them due to the lask of recent activity apart from @hotmusclstud's comment today.

Maybe some others will too, now you've come here to clear the air. Welcome to the forum!

The EIGHTEENTH innings. Are you serious?

I second what @azdr0710 said. I know that @DznNYC floated this idea as a providers' function and he may want to keep it that way rather than have clients also attend. Some discussions don't need clients there (or to be blunt, may only work when they are not), but some of the things that AZDR said apply to any gathering with three or more people (or they can). My last job was in a workplace with about a score of people. Too many work lunches went south to a greater or lesser extent. Arguments about choosing from the house menu or a set meal with limited choices, whether people split the tab or paid for what they ordered, how to manage the bar tab to name a few. After a couple of dramas, I organised one where after a poll of where we would go, and some brief discussions with a few in the work hierarchy I organised the lunch with set menu, house wine and non alcoholic beverages included, other drinks order and pay separately, and split the bill. Take it or leave it. It was the smoothest we'd had in a while. As AZDR said, it needs someone to organise it, no negotiations, not a committee. Some people still complain, but more quietly, but everyone else says 'You knew what you were signing up for'. That's how Oliver's events run too. There's a reason they work.

If you are going to consider opting out of facial scanning at the airport, you should perhaps consider what it is that you are avoiding. Are you avoiding giving the airline or the authorities your image, or are you avoiding using your image (rather than a paper boarding pass, or your passport or RealID) as a link to a travel or identity record that already has your image on file? If your image is already in their data base, I'm not sure that using an image of your face rather than a piece of paper to confirm that it is you when you pass through one of the hoops at the airport does anything to preserve your privacy. And before anyone objects, I totally understand the wish to avoid providing a security state with your private information. Everyone has their own tolerance level for how much information they willingly provide, so I do understand why some would avoid having their image scanned at the airport when they can.

Ain't that the truth!

I have yet to check out his oeuvre but thought I'd share.

Welcome to the site. If you go to the home page of the site you will see a list of the separate forums we have for different subjects that people discuss here. Each of the forums in that list has a concise description of what each forum covers, usually with more detail when you navigate from the list to the forum. 'Deli' is the first one on the list and its purpose is to provide a place for the discussion of escorts and their services. You will sometimes see people here use 'Deli' to distinguish escorting from other things discussed here. Please take the time to check our Community Guidelines.
