  2. Happy Holiday Season to everyone :)

    I received some pre-paid Visa/Mastercard gift cards as presents from Santa this year, and I thought I could use one to upgrade my RentMasseur membership from free to premium.  I have used a gift card in the past to sample the membership for a few months, but for some reason the site is declining it now.  I checked online and the card is activated and the balance is sufficient, but still no luck.  

    Does anyone have an idea why this might not be working?  I thought it was worth asking, but I may have posted this in the wrong forum.  If so, could the moderators please move it?

    Thanks and Happy New Year to all!

  3. It might sound weird given my age, but I'm not 100% sure where I fall on the identity spectrum, which I do believe is a spectrum that can fluctuate.  People have asked me if I'm married or have kids, or if I'm dating.  Those questions have never bothered me and never flustered me.  What has annoyed me was when the follow up question would be, "Why not?"  That's more than anyone needs to know, whether they are speaking to someone who's straight, gay, bisexual, asexual or undetermined.

    For sure, that makes sense. We will see if I can stand out in a city setting without face pics. Really, my ultimate hope is develop some good ongoing relationships, and I am okay with it not working out that way. It might well be my days as a regularly active provider are in the past and this will happen more organically if at all. That said, I really do enjoy this work. It's beautiful and powerful and divine at the best of times. But returning to the website seems more complicated today than it was a few years ago. 

    For what it's worth, the photo you have posted on RM is great.  As are your interview answers.  Now I'm curious about the art that you do, and what your favourite Scotch happens to be :)

    When I lived for years in coastal OC, I saw many tragic faces forever disfigured by grifter plastic surgeons. Perhaps they felt they were invisible pre-surgery. Post-surgery they regained visibility in a macabre way. They’d be better off with conservative Botox and filler.

    A wrinkle or two adds character.  Here's a photo from my 47th birthday:

  6. Yes, please accept my condolences for your loss, and may 2024 bring you much happiness and success.  You sound like a decent and thoughtful guy :)

    Regarding the photos, I would be more concerned about the lack of face pictures if your chosen name here was 'neanderthalman' instead of 'cromagnonman'.  And perhaps consider using 'homoerectusman' for your RM profile ;) :D

    I hired him once, he was great. I tried to hire him again in different city but didn’t get a response. He is a huge cummer, so be prepared. 😉 I asked him to cum in my mouth, and  he came like a super soaker. Cum got up my nose, and in both of my eyes. So my eyes were pretty red for the evening. 😂

  8. Henry Sandon, who graced the television screen for many years as the porcelain and pottery expert on the Antiques Roadshow, died Christmas morning at the age of 95.  Sandon appeared on the show well into his 80s and made a special appearance on the occasion of his 90th birthday in 2018.  He joined the show in 1979 and quickly became a fan favourite for the enthusiasm he showed when even appraising the humblest piece of pottery.  An expert on Royal Worcester porcelain, a highlight of Sandon's career was discovering a North Staffordshire slipware figure of an owl during a 1990 episode.  The owl, nicknamed 'Ozzie', was made circa 1680 and was valued by Sandon to be worth 20,000 pounds at the time.  Sandon's son John followed in his father's footsteps and also became a porcelain and pottery expert on the show, making his own discovery in 2004 of a 17th century Staffordshire slipware vessel that he appraised at 50,000 pounds, declaring it, "Better than Ozzie".

    This past week in my office (I work at a University), we had to mail some packets out to welcome new students for the upcoming Spring semester. Unfortunately, our printer was down (it was acting up the past week or so - time for a new one when we return in January), so we had to hand-write the addresses on address labels (including the University address for a return address). We had about 2 dozen to do, so I asked two the student workers (a Junior - 20 years old / a Senior - 21 years old) to help out.

    Never mind the fact that they can only 'print' since they never learned 'cursive' (and a few years ago, an email went out from the President's Office instructing faculty and staff NOT to write in cursive when hand-writing something down - such as instructions - to a student).  These students (Gen Z) DO NOT know how to address an envelope. They stared at the address on the paper I gave them, printed out clearly. They then looked at the white address label where they needed to write the address (then detach it and stick it to the envelope).  I had to teach them how the person's name goes on the first line, street address on the second, and city / state / zip on the third line. Then I had to show them how to do the return address on the smaller label to attach to the top left corner. 

     

    When I asked, they both said they never had to address a piece of mail before. They've received mail, but never paid attention to the front of the envelope where the address is. (The Junior student told me she was getting anxiety trying to figure this out - so could I assign her something else ? )

    We're so doomed. 

     

    I hope you told them to suck it up and get the job done.

    May be…I AM journalist or wanna-be journalist ;) Or may be it’s just a habit, or flourish.

    Or maybe it's a reminder to yourself that you've completed your thoughts...

    I know that (inhale) I often need to (exhale) remind myself of (inhale) some of the most (exhale) basic functions (inhale) of life (exhale).... :D
