I wish I looked that 'scary'

Anyone keeping a portrait of you in their attic obviously does not appreciate fine art. And as for age, at least it isn't a daguerrotype! 😉

Like totally

No, even though my brain sometimes feels as thick and dense as a concrete dam... hahaha

Especially at Christmas

I have never met up with anyone so perhaps my opinion lacks gravitas compared to the opinions of others on the forum, but everything you mention in the above post has been discussed on the board many times: requesting photos from potential clients, discounts in your donation amount for those you find attractive, etc, and in the vast majority of cases the feedback about such providers is quite negative. I would not refer to you as 'pathetic' as you have put it, but perhaps there are other avenues for earning additional income that you might want to consider - in particular, ones where your apparent need for physical attractiveness is not so central to success. You aren't necessarily a narcissist. You may simply be self-centred and egotistical. And I'm not saying this as a judgement - narcissism is generally accompanied by a lack of empathy and I have no basis to make such a conclusion about you

Bogey Man? Does he hide under the bed?

Not at all. Apologies for any miscommunication... I was and am being completely sincere in my compliment.

I think it works quite well

I looked at the site and noticed how it sensationalizes people's deaths, and also saw the comments left by various visitors to the site. Many comments were far from gracious, and IMHO, that approach is not helpful in changing behaviours.

IMHO, your photos are better.

Hmmm. It bothers me that a site like that exists. I'm a huge supporter of vaccines and would be vaccinated against everything if I could, but I doubt that posting the names and stories that way is doing anything to encourage a change in people's behaviour. Rather, it more likely only hurts the deceased family members who are mourning a loss. That loss is real, irrespective of whether or not the person who died was an antivaxxer. Not trying to be a wet blanket, but I think sites like that primarily stir the pot and don't address the main issue of educating people about the scientific basis for being vaccinated.

Really? I always thought it was "Nobody does it like Sara Lee"... hahaha

Thank you for sharing - great collage filled with what I assume must be wonderful memories.

Was just reflecting on how the Christmas season is a very joyful one for many people, but is also a very challenging time for many others. Here's hoping the coming days and weeks will include some bright spots for everyone. Particularly thinking of those who spend the holidays by themselves, including providers who may be on the road and away from family and friends. Take care everyone, and best wishes for the new year.

Nonexistent Frozen Clueless Misery Moan(no)

There's probably a cream for that.

And... gone

Sorry to hear that happened to you. Any idea what may have come up suddenly? Maybe there is a reasonable explanation- one that might temper the disappointment and possible vengeance?

This forum? 😉

Me too... but I'm a number of years beyond 40! I was going to add a picture of the poster for 'Never Been Kissed' because in my case that is also true, but I bear even less resemblance to Drew Barrymore than I do to Steve Carrell.... LOL

The private photos are tasteful, non-explicit, and show what looks to be an attractive, kind and warm face, IMHO.
