True. But the client is not obligated to accept your price hike. As they say, "The market will decide".

Personally, I find being slightly delusional helps…..

Baby, you’re old enough to know the answer to that question……grin

My kind of man!

I’d take the hit. Chalk it up to a lesson learned. And move on. At best the police will go through the motions, but not really do much. At worst, they’ll have lots of questions for you….. If the thought of doing nothing is burning a hole in your head, by all means talk to an attorney before you do anything. I was in a similar, but different, situation once when I was young. My father said, "Go talk to an attorney. Get it out of your system. Then move on." For the record, the attorney’s advice was "you’ve got a smart father, move on’.

Ok….I just spit 1/2 my Martini on my computer screen. You owe me a drink at the next Palm Springs gathering!

Nah….it’s not the "full boyfriend experience" until he "borrows" your Italian floaters and destroys them in a rainstorm.

Wrong Tom Jones. This one is still alive: Tom Jones (singer) - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG This one is dead: Tom Jones (writer) - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG

What??? I though we were invited? I already RSVP’d and bought my outfit for the big day. WTF man?…..grin. PS He’s gorgeous and it sounds like he’s incredible. Congratulations!

You just changed my life! Thank you!

Someone’s gonna link the infamous "underwear" thread in…..3…..2…….1…..

I took it to mean he has bad taste in clothes.

I really dislike SHoP Architects. Their buildings are just plain ugly.

Ummm…have you tired Turkey? Just a thought….grin

I was more disgusted by the fact he’s wearing Hanes brand…..grin.

As an American, I doubt you’re allowed to deposit cash into a foreign ATM/Bank. Honestly though I’ve never tried. I just assumed you could only make deposits into ATMs owned by your bank. Does anyone know the answer? There have to be some world-traveling-banker-dorks in this group…..grin.

I always carry US cash, my ATM card, and one credit card of each variety (i.e. Visa, MC, Amex). I use my ATM card to get local currency as needed. Just be carful. If you’re carrying a great deal of US currency, you take out a sizable amount of local currency, and your final "big splurge" escort on the trip is a "no show", it’s easy to end up with more currency than your allowed to carry back into the US. In that scenario, I would simply report it on entry and just explain your situation. You don’t need to include the "escort" part. Just say you were planning on buying a fancy piece of furniture with cash and the deal fell through. It’s not illegal to bring more than $10,000 into the US. It’s illegal not to declare it. And if you think customs doesn’t have access to your ATM records….you’re a moron. Trust me.

I’ll warn you now BB, I hear @azdr0710 uses a paddle during his "instructional sessions" to "reinforce the lessons". grin

A muscle bottom in Vegas?!?! (please be real, please be real…..)

Left. grin

Back down to 3 stars…..you’re welcome. grin

Travel anywhere in Europe right now is insanely expensive. In general, men advertising on RentMen seem to expect premium US prices. You might want to look at other more European based platforms like Hunqz Personally, I’d advise against hiring in Turkey. It’s not as liberal as most Westerners think. Have fun, Istanbul is awesome!
