Yes, I have. The oldest man made building in Nevada is "The Old Mormon Fort" in Las Vegas constructed in 1855 by Mormon missionaries (Hello.. My name is... 🎶 🎵). It was later used as part of a ranch, and then an Elks Lodge in the 20th century.

Same, but age 45 for me. Going to transition to part-time seasonal employment after first traveling the world for a year at age 45. My financial plan assumes $0 social security.

But how much cheaper is the rent and overhead in Tampa? It's not about how much money you bring in. It's about how much money you keep after expenses. 😊

And women are finally reaching the equality they deserve. They are working for pay for longer and longer. I suppose this will help social security funding going forward, since spousal benefits for women will be increasingly tied to their own lifetime contributions instead of to their spouse's.

Most men do plan on working past 65, but circumstances change and they end up retiring before 65. If someone leaves a job due to layoff, stress, health issue, or family emergency, they are less likely to switch to a new job when they're already in their 60s.

Speak for yourself...If the man is ugly I would rather take it up the ass. 🍑 At least then I can turn my back on him! 😂 Jerking someone off usually means I need to face them

Those fresh Christmas trees capture carbon while they're growing, and then are turned into mulch for parks and gardening when recycled. Unfortunately plastic trees contribute nothing to the environment; only waste and carbon. Didn't mean to be the Grinch. I just want people to not feel guilty to have a real Christmas tree 🎄 each year.

The club gets it's money from selling drinks, which is a very high margin profit. If I were an owner, I wouldn't focus on also trying to take a cut from the dancers. The dancers are like the free chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant: they're a loss leader that brings the customers through the front door. But that's just my opinion.

They must have adopted a similar policy to Boardwalk and now it is busy season with the snowbirds starting to come down. I think Boardwalk is $20 each time but haven't been there in 2 years. Last I checked with Johnson's, you pay $20 only once for the night, but I haven't been there since early summer. I am reluctant to get private dances at Boardwalk because of their new entrance fee per dancer policy. But at Johnson's and LeBoy (when you bought a wrist band that was good for entry with different dancers all night), I found I was more motivated to go back for more private dances to "get my money's worth" from the wrist band purchase. It's silly, I know, to be motivated by saving a few bucks when I'm going to easily spend a few hundred dollars in a night there. But the psychological effect of having paid for all night access does something psychologically to encourage multiple dances. If I was a strip club operator, I would look at supply and demand. If there was a queue for booths for private dances (like there almost always is at Spunk @ Monster in New York City) then I would raise the cover charge for each private dance. If the booths were not at capacity most nights (which has been my experience with Boardwalk and LeBoy) , I would charge only the one fee for an all-night wrist band to encourage patrons to come back for multiple dances the same night.

Could it be that many poor in rural areas are very content with their life and local culture of church, football, and country music; whereas many poor in urban and suburban settings are cut off from their community socially and/or carry a grudge against their better-off neighbors? The American Dream can be fulfilled living in a one room house with family and friends that you love and doing what you love.

💕 I Love this

For Escorts who are smart and save and invest (both in the market and themselves), I would say they are living the American WET Dream! 🇺🇲 💦

I like the income ratio method, and it's recommended by Suze Ormon. It worked well in my most recent relationship... Until it didn't. Originally I made about 3 times more than he, and it worked well for us to let him pick up the check for every 4th dinner out, and for every 4th Uber ride, and every 4th movie ticket, etc. But when he quit his job and moved across the country for us to live together and him go back to school, the tension became too much for each of us: Him because he didn't like having to ask me for everything, and me because I didn't like having to pay for his "wants" when I was struggling to cover both of our "needs". That situation festered for a few months until we tried to discuss it via text message instead of in person -- which is the wrong way to do it. I bring up this experience to say I like what both @SFGateboyand @Bokomaruhave to say.

I've never been able to successfully do that (pay for a ride for someone else's account). I just pay/arrange the ride using my own account, and tell Uber it's for a friend with no Uber account. It has worked, but it's aggrevating to figure it out because I don't do it often.

Yes, a determined, potential customer can jump through the various hoops to try to talk with you on a phone call. However, I wouldn't call that customer friendly. I call that an obstacle course of avoidance. Leaving a voice message when someone can't answer their telephone is an obstacle course? Sounds like an overaction, especially from someone who relies on a landline and would therefore rely on voice messages when he leaves the house or is occupied. Simon, I don't know any of these obnoxious customers you describe. I certainly don't behave this way. Every friend group has one of these obnoxious people. If someone doesn't know any... Then statistically it is probably them 😉 Back to the subject at hand.... Over the course of 15+ years and 100s of masseurs hired, I have had a 99.8% success rate of providers showing, and I never had a verbal conversation before hand. I do research on these forums and I never pay up front. Those two tips alone have served me well in having quality experiences when I hire.

Land lines are recorded all the time. The only safe way to communicate is via telegram. But be sure to write the telegram in secret code, and use a separate telegram agency to deliver a code decipher separately to the provider. If a provider can't be bothered to de-code the telegram and then respond with a self-destructing audio tape recording of his voice to prove he's real, then the client dodged the bullet and avoided a provider who might be late or cancel. 😊 (This whole response is sarcasm and a joke; like I hope some of the previous responses are. Leaving a voicemail message is "jumping through hoops"? Come on)

I have occasionally hired an Uber for a provider (maybe once every year). My annoyance in doing so is I'm not familiar with the technology and it's changes and it can be annoying trying to communicate to the provider the driver name and vehicle location while figuring out the Uber app changes since the last time I used it. But I feel confident I won't be scammed. At least I know the provider is coming to me. I don't worry about privacy. I use a fake name for my Uber.

Yes, they are. But, the elderly are also the fastest growing group of millionaires. We have to remember that the baby boomer generation is going to skew all figures and show large increases in everything for the elderly. By and large, the baby boomers are more wealthy than previous elderly generations. Yes, there are going to be more homeless among them, but on average they are doing better than the silent and greatest generations in retirement. Stats that show average or median wealth increasing are really just showing that the population has gotten older, and older people generally have more wealthy than younger people.

With this attitude, you'll be occupied day and night reporting all the "39" year old men who have more than 21 years of experience in this industry.

Great point. Over my 15+ years in hiring and 100s of massages, a masseur cancelled on me without notice only once. Whereas I am guilty of falling asleep and missing a massage appointment twice. Both of these are infrequent occurrences, occurring less than 1% of the time.

Great solution. It reminds me of "Separate But Equal" that was thrown out in the mid-20th century, but I see it all the time in corporations today where each Department is a majority one ethnicity or gender or age but the company as a whole is considered diverse.

If I was in Florida that weekend, I would gladly pay those prices for Johnson's. Based on how over-crowded the Ft Lauderdale location is on every Friday and Saturday, I've always thought they should raise the cover charge on those nights. New Year's Eve makes even more sense to do so.

"Book of Mormon", "Moulin Rouge", and "Company" all in the same week in 2022. They were all fantastic, but "Company" was my favorite! I had seen plenty of community theater before (starting with "Gypsy", "Fiddler on the Roof", and "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" when I was in the 3rd Grade), and several touring Broadway shows. But I never saw anything in a Broadway theater house until 2022. Such is the drawback of being raised and living on the West Coast.

Your parent's generation had a smaller labor force before women began entering the workforce in masses. When the labor supply nearly doubles (due to half the population seeking employment instead of staying home; or masses of immigration; etc.) then wages are suppressed because there are more available workers to apply for the same job. The labor supply nearly doubled because of the stark increase in participation by women, now it takes nearly twice as many people working in a household to sustain what one person used to be able to.

Given that the dinner invitation was probably sent via text message or Facebook messenger, the guests could reciprocate in kind with a "Happy 60th Birthday 🎂🎈" text massage midway through the meal. 😆And they could include Lori on the text massage to make sure she was satisfied that a satisfactory birthday greeting was sent at the dinner she "hosted". But seriously, think about how poorly these two "guests" must feel. They haven't seen you in years. They are going to be in town on holiday. They receive an invitation to dinner from you. They give up a night of their limited vacation to spend time with you. And instead of hearing "it's been too long, we should try to get together more often", they get "so it was my birthday this month, how come you didn't bring me a gift?". I bet they tried looking but couldn't find the Hallmark card that says: "Happy Birthday and Sincerest Wishes from friends of the family whom you haven't seen in years but just happen to be passing through town while you happened to have a birthday!" 🥳 🎉
