Old enough to know better. Not there yet.😉

And a horrible story it must be. But maybe it depends.

A Portrait in Love and Trust [My eyes leak]

Parking like that is just asking to get rear-ended!

They mean theirs, not yours.

So, he's the one that's dreaming.

That story made my eyes leak. Thank you. [We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give. - Winston Churchill]

So that's why I keep hearing "No teeth, bitch!"

It is an absolute and unforgivable miscarriage of justice that I am limited to awarding but one single eyeroll emoji 🙄per post. This post clearly merits multiple 'moji's on many levels! And yet, exceedingly well done!🤣

That is hilarious! And thank you for the additional info on the apartment situation; it puts things in a different light. I agree that there is some risk in every meeting with an unfamiliar provider, no matter where the meeting takes place. Most of mine are in nicer hotels and which generally have good security and a staff who mind their own business about my business. Logging all visitors is a very good measure, providing an even better safeguard than a vigilant hotel staff. So, I'll relax my concerns for safety in your home. But, please, still be careful. Years ago in LA, I went to a provider's home, a rented house he shared with two other men. I didn't know that going in and thankfully didn't meet the other roommates during my visit; that would have greatly unnerved me. The house was in a part of town neither grand nor gross, neither Brentwood nor Watts. But the roommate situation and the neighborhood vibe, especially after dark, made me feel uneasy. Several years later, I had a similar experience in DC, minus the roommate element. That was the last time I did an in-call with a new provider.

Aah, the hunky Will Parfitt, from Melbourne, Down Under. AKA the Channing Tatum of Australian strippers, and one of my many crushes!

Or alternatively, "in my humble opinion."

It's like mail marked URGENT, IMPORTANT, OPEN IMMEDIATELY. Individually or collectively, they all mean Bullshit.

Your life, not mine, but why in the world would you invite an unknown provider (let alone two of them together) into your apartment? It just strikes me as inherently risky, and it seems you got off easy from the encounter, even if being an uncomfortable one. It could have ended much worse. (My thought has always been, they don't need to dump the body if I'm killed in my place.) Please be careful!

Between the two us, at least one of doesn't know what a twunk is.

I had forgotten the pandas were on loan; I guess the bloom's now off that rose of friendship. I've seen them several times in DC and always found them both adorable as well as perpetually indolent, making them role models as I've grown older. If the National Zoo would upgrade the menu from bamboo to lasagna and Laphroaig, I might be willing to take their place on weekends. In a tux, of course, to maintain the color palette.

I wouldn't give them the honor. [Hope you're better soon.]

I would have thought that the aim of a program to end a porn addiction would be precisely to get it out of hand.😉

Mintboy listings for some cities show 20-30 providers when Rentmen for the same city has only 5-6; I have no idea where all of them come from or why they're not also on Rentmen. I'm sure there are exceptions, but a lot of the providers on Mintboys look like the men you would have found still cruising in the hustler bar at 1:30am, back in the glory days when there were such places, and there would have been a reason they were still there at that hour. I'd be especially skeptical and would insist on recommendations made on this site. Be wary.

I agree she's grateful for what she's got; I get that part. BTW, if I had $3B, I'd be grateful, too. My skepticism comes from the not-focusing-on-things-you-don't-have part, and that if you do focus on that, you'll never have enough. Years ago, I came across a story that Oprah was flying to LA (in her private jet) and from the air saw a spectacular house and estate as she passed over it. She had her pilot land the plane, then somehow found out where the house was located and went there. She met the owners, who did not have the property on the market, and made them an offer anyway. When Oprah left, she owned the house and grounds, and the owners had her handwritten check for $50M. And this on top of the eight or nine houses she already owned. I do not begrudge her a dime of what she's got, and I'm sure she's thankful for all of it; I know she came from humble beginnings. It's her moralizing to the masses of the dangers of avarice that gets my knickers in a bit of a twist.

There are all manner of addictions. Some may only be and may remain minor or occasional indulgences while others may lead to excessive or even obsessive behaviors. If an addiction begins to interfere with daily functioning - such as sleep deprivation, failings in work or family responsibilities or obligations, financial well-being - it's time to seek help. There should be no religious test or standard for mental wellness. But an addiction that becomes debilitating to any degree should be evaluated by competent mental health professionals, regardless of the nature of the addiction, in an attempt to control the effects of the addicted behavior. However, I have known several people who claimed to have been "cured" of a drug or alcohol addiction through a faith-based program or approach leading to a change in their behavior. I congratulate them for their success and give thanks with them, but do not disparage their faith in a supernatural agency. I don't believe in such a thing myself and would assert that the strength to overcome their addiction was already and only within them. But religious beliefs can generate strong emotions in a person and those emotions may move them in ways they couldn't move themselves without it; that's what emotions do - they move us. It's a matter of finding the right stimulus to elicit the desired response. And if faith produces the "cure," a good end is reached. Halleluiah?
