… evidence necessary for the police to charge you with solicitation.

Good point. 

Try intercepting the provider at the local post office you have in common, where he daily inquires about undelivered fan mail. 

Seriously though, I wonder if you mentioned your geographic proximity in your initial communication, and how convenient that is etc, thus rendering him hesitant.

It’s screening at a cinema near my home next Saturday, about $20USD. The chain is Cineplex (Canadian), where I also saw The Hours a while back.

Postponed again. Likely May 2025.

Are you referring to the spring 2021 double doses and the late 2021 pre-bivalent booster?

I did not write that sentence, so I don’t know how the quote could be mine. However, at this point, only the current updated Pfizer, Moderna, and Novavax vaccines are legit going forward. A bivalent booster administered earlier thIs year may offer some protection in the meantime as the updated versions relate to coronavirus descending from the Omicron family tree.

It stands to reason that anybody waiting for the new vaccine but has not received a bivalent dose in a long time, example 9 months, should perhaps exercise greater exposure caution within the current landscape. That said, I personally know two people in their 70s that came down with COVID this summer not long after having had bivalent booster doses; one had a pricey bucket-list holiday ruined due to symptoms like a bad cold, and the other had quite a debilitating course in spite of Paxlovid uptake at the recommended stage. 

Actually, an updated vaccine can be used as a primary 2-dose series (prime + boost) for those never vaccinated, as was also the case for those that had never been vaccinated at the time the bivalent doses emerged about a year ago.

My housecleaner describes his symptoms rather vaguely as "sniffles," and says his partner tests negative for COVID. This is usually allergy season for me, and as usual I have been suffering from itchy eyes, sneezing fits and sinus congestion. Since we have also had constant "air quality alerts" and "dust advisories," with high winds for the past month, I have been assuming that allergies are the problem. I don't have any other symptoms.  I haven't seen the housecleaner in two weeks, but when he texted me this morning that he had self-tested positive, I decided to test myself again, just in case. I have never tested positive, including the RT-PCR, in the past three years,  have had all the boosters up until the latest one, and I am rarely in situations where I might be exposed, so I think It is unlikely that my current symptoms are due to COVID.

Ah, I took it that you had a typical household exposure more recent than a few weeks ago, or you thought you may have. With the allergies and all, and in that you likely go about your business when your home is serviced, less concern after all. He likely caught it some time following his last visit.

I went out and bought a new test this afternoon. It gave exactly the same negative result as my seven month old test did earlier in the day. So although I have the same symptoms as my housecleaner, it appears that he has COVID and I do not.

This changes things because you now added that you have symptoms. Therefore, it is advisable from a public health point of view to behave as though you are infected until you rule out non-infection with either further rapid antigen testing because you may have two false negative results so far, or the more reliable lab-based molecular test (ie, RT-PCR) done at a facility. The assumption alone that you have SARS-CoV-2 without confirmation would be fine unless you are a candidate for the updated vaccination (I assume you are) because you could skip such a dose if you determine you actually are infected and will benefit from natural immunity. Personally, I would pursue the RT-PCR test to assist with vaccination decision-making. If it were Spring 2023, no later than early Summer, I wouldn’t make the suggestion. 

I cannot know for sure what member of the Omicron variant family tree I caught a month ago but the original generation of self-administered rapid tests showed positive, unsurprising due to symptoms. 

Maybe he’s confused about how a small appliance store with very limited inventory fits into the monetization equation. 

Donations are for time only. You would be paying for the few seconds it takes to send you the unlock code.😏

You could offer a membership gift through the platform. It seems to be minimum $36 for a Basic one month or $100 for Gold, but be prepared to have merely the satisfaction of an extra month of being deprived of the gallery you sought. 

Not to mention that the guy evidently reads posts here and can conclude unequivocally the source of his ad status change.

I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean to say that you received a vaccine which isn't the current vaccine? Those old vaccines should not longer be given, as they probably don't do anything useful. The vaccination for the virus has a completely new paradigm now. At this point, it's simply to receive the new formulation as a single dose whenever it becomes available. There are no longer "boosters," and so on.

I wondered the same thing. As of a month ago the bivalent booster option is no longer authorized and should have been pulled from all dispensaries. If an error was made, one particular liability is messing with the recommended minimum duration between any two SARS-CoV-2 vaccine doses, given that shorter intervals may reduce the desired immune response, in this case the anticipated benefit of the updated version (not yet administered) that has reverted back to a monovalent formulation. The “fix” for such an error is unclear, but guidance suggests a 3-month minimum interval between doses.

Is it ok if I get only one or two shots per visit and not the whole cocktail in just one day.?

Yes, you can spread them out if you prefer. If you couple two of the three same day, the guidance leans towards making RSV vaccine the odd one out on its own a different day.

Kaiser has a one-stop walkin shop - RSV, flu and COVID. I'm going in Tuesday probably.

On co-admin guidance:

Public Health Ontario has reviewed the clinical data and recommends where feasible (eg, outside of the urgency of RSV outbreaks in longterm care facilities) that flu and COVID vaxx be co-administered without concern. In contrast, it is recommended that RSV vaxx be staggered at least 2 weeks before or after either flu vaxx alone, COVID vaxx alone, or flu\COVID co-administration. It’s just a question of limited safety data and lack of data on whether co-admin may lower desired antibody titres for any one of the products. In my case, I am passing on one of the three due to a recent case of COVID, but it would not be inconvenient for me to defer Arexvy, if I decide to take it, following influenza vaxx. YMMV. 

The CDC flags similar reservations about immunity data and directs co-admin as acceptable but optional. In general, the thinking may be that many people will inadvertently skip circling back ‘à la carte’ in spite of intentions.

It's interesting that despite all the hoopla and promotion of Stock these last few months on this forum, that Campus emerges as the "winner" between the two competing stripper bars which are only a block apart in Montreal. A winner at least in the review just given us by Fresh, who brought a fresh pair of eyes to the situation. 

I will go a step further as it is essentially the end of summer and my assessment is based on 4 months of observations, a dozen or more rounds by decision so to speak. Campus. Subtract Malik’s sporadic presence, still Campus by a long shot. 

Or read earlier in the thread, because well why not put all viral diseases under a coronavirus topic? lol

The same RSV vaccine, GSK’s Arexvy, was approved in Canada 2 months ago. It will not be publicly funded and the word on the street is that it will cost recipients $250-300 for a dose. The inoculation temporal benefit tentatively put forward is deemed to be two seasons (15-18 months?), so avoid uptake randomly throughout the year as had been the CoV vaxx trend because you may just get one season of protection, for example, if jabbed in April. Or be mindful of north-south hemisphere incidence variables, etc. if you are longstay in the southern hemisphere Nov-Mar, the chances of catching RSV are much lower.

I am considering it, but mindful of the point made by @Unicorn regarding age and the recommended threshold of 75 years, stated by an InfDis conference presenter, as I am not nearly 75, I am healthy and fit, and not around older folks or very young children this winter.

Calls to mind when OF decided to ban “sexually explicit” content -- and reversed course within days.

The thing about Rentmen’s current Terms of Use is that sexually explicit content is prohibited across all components of the platform outside of members’ negotiations among themselves vis-a-vis the optional Private Gallery section. If this is actually a new overall regulatory update, perhaps reflecting that Rentmen wishes more distance, notwithstanding the consideration of profit margins raised by others here, then I would not advise that an Escort renew a costly GOLD subscription without determining whether the Terms of Use have actually been substantially revised along the image content dimension compared to before times. I don’t have a Time Machine to assess Terms of Use alterations.

If they have been rewritten, or if their application will formally align with the clearly worded content restrictions, there may be more prospective changes as far as content allowance within Premium and Video Gallery image categories. Otherwise, I might see the recent changes as merely a tightening up of the positioning of pornographic, erotic, explicit, prurient, what have you, content according to their fundamental position of plausible deniability in terms of advocating commercial sex work (aka compensated time), and the advertising content typically associated with promoting same.

In sum, are the recent changes punctuated as opposed to a preliminary step in a sequence? Will the status quo of ‘looking the other way’ from a contradiction between stated rules and actual content be upheld? Might there be more to come beyond first-line image content adjustment that is non-volitional from the point of view of many subscribers? Be mindful that payment equals Terms of Use acceptance.

I realize that a bait-and-switch would be suicide for Rentmen unless there is a way to salvage the content that members desire, and Private Galleries may always ensure content preservation in that the platform offers a direct conduit between members. The fly in the ointment is not knowing if Rentmen, based in Europe, is feeling under pressure to revise its framework. This cannot be divorced from the very recent (mid-Sept) complex and controversial European Parliament vote, perhaps more symbolic than binding at this juncture, in which sex work was deemed exploitive and not legitimately valid as a profession, this vote yet falling short of fully endorsing the Nordic abolitionist model. 

There is a method for Rentmen members to be spared 40% of the membership fees for any duration purchased. It’s irrelevant to me but simple to figure out.

Aah, right, not to confuse Man Premium League with Premier League.

I also just realized the platform has the courtesy of not overtly labelling non-GOLD and non-PREMIUM, and that GOLD providers are listed first chronologically.

That tracks somewhat like CAPTCHA identification. If they can see and ✅ for themselves the x-rated pics in the image grid it authenticates their user potential as non-robots open to transmitting affluenza. 

The Saturday-to-Sunday “White Night” event is for The Village zone, not just Campus. It’s a pilot project, and the date is aligned with Paris’ annual Nuit Blanche 1st Saturday of October. However, that might be co-incidental because most Canadian Thanksgiving weekends are the second weekend of October and I would think in future the White Night would correspond to Thanksgiving weekend and the now defunct Black&Blue event that formerly brought in circuit tourists.
