Hey folks, I'm here to endorse the great things that so many of you have said about Beastmuffin / @Gilfson. I met him while I was in Los Angeles and he's the real deal. Nice guy, grounded, smart, mature; I enjoyed chatting with him about a range of stuff, and he's very open and thoughtful. He gave me a good massage, we cuddled, we moved on to seriously get to know each other, and he demonstrated what he has to give with consummate skill. I'd repeat in a heart beat.

I sat next to a UA long haul pilot on my recent AA domestic flight (flying on his own time, whatever got him there) - he opined that his wife had a complete aversion to flying economy over any large bodies or water (not sure if one of the Great Lakes counted), and I can relate to that. In the past I had booked Y across the Pacific and taken my chances (ended up at 50%) of a points upgrade. Don't take that chance now. Using the east coast to Australia as an example, there is a stop somewhere, and when it's up around 20 hours or even more, a few extra hours to fly via Asia can get you a better J service, a more even split between the two sectors, and avoiding immigration clearance at LAX on the return flight. And, at least booking from Australia, and probably originating in the US as well, fares on Cathay, JAL and sometimes Singapore (but for SQ beware of JFK/EWR non-stop at 19 hours, or a second stop in FRA on their other JFK-SIN flight) can be cheaper than the more direct flights on US carriers or QF. But if you're trying to book on points you may have to take what you can get. I just flew Cathay from Sydney to Los Angeles, very happy with that choice. Going home on a QF award ticket. YMMV.

Many respiratory diseases are viral (some in both senses of the word).

He didn't call anyone asinine. He observed that one action that someone had taken was. There is a difference.

Perhaps a 'Dear John' note?

I assume many do. National taxation authorities tend to pay attention to people whose declared incomes to not match their financial positions.

Do that!

Another of those cases where the quotation doesn't mean what we think it does. At the risk of going off on a tangent, 'blood is thicker than water' is another where the meaning in context is the opposite of what the accepted wisdom would hold. [The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.]

Mod's Note: Grindr threads usually end up in the Lounge as they tend not to become discussions of individual providers. We'll wait a while to see whether this one does, and merits staying in the Deli, or remains as more a hook-up discussion with $£€ involved and needs to be moved.

It seems that even leaving aside 'sex work' however defined, the tip exemption is going to be an enforcement nightmare challenge. Glad y'all got the Puritans and we got the convicts.

There was a case in Canberra some years ago (you may have heard about it) where a client agreed to pay an escort for sex and afterwards declined to pay (both were male fwiw). I think I mentioned it here at one stage and was met with a degree of incredulity, not unlike some commentary in this thread. The client was successfully tried for rape as the sex was legally deemed to have occurred without consent in the absence of payment.

I think that having a 'customer is always right' mindset is good to start with. But that doesn't mean they have a free pass to do whatever they want. I would say that it's best to hope for, or even assume the best, but plan for the worst, and some worst case plans need to be brutal. Some customers need a gentle reminder that always 'being right' comes with conditions, some need their assumptions on that to be torn to shreds. Bad customers are owed [almost] nothing.

Or two, and make it 100 Years of Solitude.

Thanks for the special shout-out this Thursday. MC.

On an entirely unrelated point, I've had a visit to Toronto on my list for quite some time.

I wish to report a very speedy and friendly passage through border control and arrival formalities at Los Angeles International Airport. I know this will come across as a work of fiction, but here we are.

It can mean that they had previously posted their rates and had deleted them from their ad. I've seen the same thing happens with escorts in Australia. Even when I am logged on at home, I can never see rates posted for escorts from the US or any others who are there temporarily, but I have no idea whether in either case they have the ability to include rates in their ad despite those rates being hidden to viewers in the US or when they themselves are in the country.

Thanks, @RadioRob, with the prolonged error message I figured something like that had happened. Glad to see it's back.

Thanks for this post confirming the impression I had gained.

I think you may have meant artisan. artesian adjective ar·te·sian (ˈ)är-¦tē-zhən : involving, relating to, or supplied by the upward movement of water under hydrostatic pressure in rocks or unconsolidated material beneath the earth's surface

Ms Tate, really?

Mod's Note: We've removed some posts that went down a rabbit hole and became a little too aggressive.

She's the chair of the Australian Government's Productivity Commission. But I don't think that's the one he was talking about.
