And such a responsible rationale for managing financial transactions is likely one of the reasons you are able to be so generous with your other donations

I get what you mean, but in this case $1K is evidently not out of the OP's price range. To say, "out of my price range" is not really true. It is more accurate, I believe, to say what the OP said - that a donation for $1K is more than he is willing to spend to meet someone he has no personal experience of yet.

The poor guy needs to think more highly of himself.

They probably justify that salary by thinking that the experience of working for her, and having that on your resume, is priceless. Apparently those in most royal service roles in the UK are paid comparatively little, despite London being an expensive place to live - the honour of holding a position serving the Crown is almost expected to be payment enough... LOL.

After the walk they might "come and knock on your door and take step that is new"

And owned and operated by a man whose wife's ancestors apparently died in the Titanic disaster back in 1912...

Agreed. But this seems to be the case for any private enterprise taking place in international waters. Had the Titanic sunk closer to the coast, and within the bounds of Canadian or American jurisdiction, that submersible would never have been making voyages to the deep.

If you're a top, what changes to your END would make any difference.... sorry, couldn't resist

I think I can see how this scenario could happen. Since the reason given by the provider for not staying longer involved his wife, perhaps the poster thought it would be worth trying another attempt at getting together on an evening when the wife would not be a factor? Despite the provider's cold demeanour, I could also see how someone might wish to give a provider the benefit of the doubt and hope the next time would be more satisfactory. But that's just my thoughts based on what has been written. Please do not refer to yourself that way - beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and there will certainly be people who behold you as attractive, even if it may not seem that way to you.

My grandfather used to have an assisted shower every couple of days. In the care home.

Wow - that height, definition, chiseled features, amazing and well-balanced proportions. Absolutely stunning. Gaudi was definitely a genius.

I've known people in their 20s who act like they're in their 60's, and people over 100 who also act like they're in their 60s. So many factors come into play - genetics, environment, financial resources, luck. Hard to find anyone in their 90s and beyond who didn't benefit from at least a couple of those factors. When I was young I thought that 60 was ancient, but that might be because back in the 80s older people acted older than they do today. Hairstyles, clothing, activities - it seems like they wanted to fit the image of a senior. Not today - octogenarians posing in Playboy, more people able to access anti-aging procedures, and maybe most important - the general erosion of respect that younger people once paid to those who are older may be another reason why many seniors try to stay as young as possible. Old age was once something that was attained and embraced, but now it is shunned and forced into the geriatric closet.

Having been reading posts here for the past few years, I've noticed there are always some providers who request a donation for their time that seems exorbitant to many on the forum. While inflation may be part of the reason why a provider increases their donation amount, I think it goes beyond inflation or even supply and demand. Somebody who is seeking a donation that is nearly twice the 'customary' amount, may be doing so to concentrate on clients with the deepest pockets. Just like others who request a photo before seeing anyone, I imagine a provider can use their donation amount to filter prospective clients as well.

Are you getting hit up by providers, or RM members? Is there a way that people can search for/see client profiles, because I was only aware of the search function for finding providers... but I'm also a bit technologically challenged. LOL

Elderly? Absolutely - if we were living in Europe back in 1349 and trying to avoid the Black Death. Mind those rats, now.😂

There can be a lot of negativity, but there is also much levity. The key is to scroll past the negative and focus on the topics/posts that interest you or catch your attention, I think. I have unfortunately been dragged into longer-than-necessary discussions that go absolutely nowhere, but eventually I realize I don't HAVE to keep responding - which is not easy for me... LOL. But I do try to keep it as kind as possible.

Please don't get me wrong, I definitely did not mean that you should have reported him. I'm thankful that the experience did not have any negative effects on you, and whatever anyone might think, you are not responsible in any way for anything he may have done to others. That is on him, as an adult who should have known better.

Even if you knew or even set the situation up, this still objectively constitutes sexual abuse by that doctor. You may not consider yourself to have been harmed in any way from a subjective perspective, but the act itself constitutes sexual abuse according to objective legal standards.

One can only wonder how many other patients he sexually abused

If clumsiness is a sign of autism I'm completely beyond the spectrum

Could you ask if they have cots available? Or a room with a sofabed?

Wouldn't it depend on the level of activity a person engages in? 600 calories may be sufficient for someone sitting on the sofa all day, but perhaps not for those who have physically demanding jobs.

I doubt anyone on this forum is as late a bloomer as me. I don't even have any buds yet, let alone blooms!
