Never drive to an appointment with a provider... lol

Well, he also has dick in his name, so I guess all bases are covered. Happy Birthday Dickie.

Have him sit on your lap and give you a list of gifts he wants Santa-Sideways to bring him...

Do these discerning gentlemen of good character call you on your white slimline telephone with last number redial facilities?

In the US the full jackpot is not paid out unless it is done so over a lengthy time period, as an annuity. Most people likely opt for the 'lump sum' payment, which I believe is less than half the full amount, but you end up with somewhat less than $500M all at once. And then that gets taxed, so you probably end up with only half again. Still, $250M is not something to sneeze at. In Canada we are not taxed on our winnings. And our national lottery jackpots are paid in full as a lump sum. However, our jackpots are not allowed to grow to those levels like PowerBall - I think ours maxes out at $80M. But you get that $80M free and clear. The odds are also better for our lotteries - still a very, very, long shot, but not 1 in 290 million.

Seems to be an extreme reaction to a simple question. His ad does indicate 'safe only' rather than 'ask me', so maybe he gets overly annoyed by the question. If you are blocked I think you can log out and then go to his profile to copy the link. I believe it's only when you're logged in that it would say you're blocked.

It's like he has a third eyebrow. Maybe he can raise it.

Not to mention, when some people on this board have complained about providers having high donation requests and an unwillingness to provide a 'deal', others have argued that most people don't complain about the fees charged by other professionals, like lawyers and accountants. So if we acknowledge that a provider is a professional and should be respected for whatever donation amount they set, we should also have an expectation that a provider would have similar levels of professional decorum as a lawyer or accountant. Could anyone imagine going into a law office and having a lawyer look at your physical appearance, and then say, "we're not a good fit"? That would be outlandish. If a provider is unable to see a client due to their weight, the provider should own it themselves. Own it, and tell the prospective client that there are better providers the client should choose from.

It's at the very least subjectively cruel when a 'good fit' comes down to one particular characteristic that the potential client is already self-conscious about. Saying "I don't take fatties on as clients" crosses over from the provider being cruel, to him being an a**hole. Ultimately, if a provider cannot consider a person a good fit due to their physical appearance, it says much more about the provider than it does about the potential client.

Like, does it point up or down? Or to the left or right?

Based on the description of your experiences, you were still a complete trollop compared to me - even now - and I'm 50+ years old. LOL.

I thought about printing your reply, but I think I'd run out of ink. LOL

Generally speaking, it's probably closer to 8 inches when inflated rather than deflated.

I would say the proof will be in the pounding. Hahaha.

If only that same action could produce a beef and cheddar sandwich whenever it's been a full week since I was near an Arby's.

So if he isn't interactive, does that mean there is nothing like kissing or intimacy? @NYlove has that been your experience as well?

I would say the customer is always right until they're wrong. And some cross that threshold much faster than others.

Some people don't seem to age for years and years, and then one day exponential aging kicks in and they go from plum to prune overnight. LOL. Maybe it's some sort of Faustian bargain. Hahaha.

I could only hope to be that average. hahaha

Like a comb?

Happy Thanksgiving to those in the US, and Happy Thursday to the rest of us!

Never give up hope. I've seen miraculous things happen. I hope by some means he is able to at least have a significant extension of his life with good quality, if not a remission. 🙏

Not to mention, this is the time of year when most of us Canadians are outfitting our igloos for the winter season, and making sure the polar bears aren't digging up our frozen cache of food from beneath the permafrost. No time for a massage these days - not until the sun rises again in 6 months. LOL.

Yeah, that's very true. But even if I had that kind of income I doubt I could justify that sort of cost for something so transitory. $4500 for a nice watch that will last decades, sure. Or for a week or two in Europe, absolutely. I guess it comes down to priorities and what we value. From my perspective it seems nonsensical, but to each his own.

Remission is the next best thing to a cure. Hopefully there will never be any recurrence - these situations can help us realize how fragile life is, and that we can't take the time we have for granted. Stay strong 🙏
