  1. Those pictures go WAY back. They are between 10 and 15 years old. Some guys are actually still very hot after 10+ years, but if that is the case, they usually post current pictures. Anyone still using REALLY old pictures has something to hide.

     

    At least one of the pics is more recent (and I suspect one or two others). Pic #2 is taken with an iPhone 5 or 5s, which was introduced in 2012 or 2013, respectively

  2. Are you certain that you're dealing with Tristan Waters? Because according to his personal social media page, he is very much still in Orlando. And those pictures in that expired ad are seriously (and I mean seriously) outdated. If you've seen current pictures and you're happy with him as he currently is, then I wish you the best of times. But if you haven't seen recent pictures, I think you may be expecting one thing and getting another.

  3. The points work on a tier system in SPG (Category 1-7?) The real problem will be how that translates to Marriott properties, not necessarily value.

    Works the same way at Marriott. But it is much quicker and easier to use points at SPG. There's a SPG property in Ft. Lauderdale that I use. I forget the SPG category, but it's the equivalent of a 3.5/4 star hotel. A free night there with points is about 7800. There a lesser quality Marriott property (probly 3 stars) in the same neighborhood. A free night there with points is 25000.

  4. Hi. This guy is really cute, but I think the pictures are fake. I swear I've seen them somewhere before.

     

    Can anyone verify this guy? Have you seen these pictures before?

    I don't recognize the pictures; but a see a resemblance to porn actor Chris Rockway:

  5. Oh, and I'm more interested in today's review of Sam. The negative: he is a smoker. But there's alot to like in his ad.

     

    Me too! I almost contacted him yesterday before he even had a review. But yesterday when I went back to the ad to contact him, he had added that he was a smoker, which wasn't mentioned in the earlier version of the ad. So Sam is a definite NO for me now.

  6. You can narrow your search results on Masseurfinder to only those that provide Body Electric.

     

    Florida has strict licensing requirements for massage. A licensed massage therapist is supposed to display their license number in all their advertisement. A massage therapist with an active license is probably unlikely to provide the extent of the service you're looking for, at least I haven't found any.

     

    An unlicensed therapist isn't supposed to advertise massage at all, so you're in a catch-22 position.

    Of those in the FTL area that mention in Body Electric in the ad, I've only met one (Kaler) and that was almost 13 years ago. He was trained as I recall, but it definitely progressed beyond what you state you'd be comfortable with, although I'm sure he'd scale it back. The only other person that I every met in the area that specifically offered Body Electric was not a trained masseur and very little "massage" was actually involved; but he hasn't lived in Florida for over 12 years.

     

    I really think you're going to have a hard time finding specifically what you're looking for in FTL.

  7. Let's close this thread till Bozo and the timeouted guy who started this (Rabby Hy) find a jewish escort and write a review about him. ?

     

    The timed-out guy was a ruse. He never wanted a Jewish escort. It was one of the many multiple aliases of the timed out guy. The question was posed to hopefully start gossipy posts about a particular escort and to set up one of his other multiple identities to take pot shots at a few escorts he was obsessed with. Some people then,as now, took it seriously...but it never was meant to be.

     

    And I have my doubts that Bozo revived the thread with good intentions either.

  8. The information that I posted was all found in public spaces. Two google searches led me to these youtube videos. I would say that these are two of the top 5 used (and public) websites. Therefore, I didn't believe that I was publishing private information. So that I don't miss-step again....where did I go wrong here?

     

    From the Terms of Service (from the link at the very bottom of the page):

    2. No personal information may be posted about other posters. This includes all information that could identify a person, including photographs and other images. Personal information that an individual has publicly provided may be allowed in some cases. But we ask you to always err on the side of respecting the others who come here and those who are the subject of discussion here.

     

    Your post provided personal information that identified the private identity of the masseur. Yes, it was easily obtained with a Google search but it was still personal information. You linked the masseur identity with the private identity, which where not necessarily directly connected until you posted it here.

  9. Posting "by proxy" what a clever tactic.

     

    Reminds of the scene from Broadcast News where the Albert Brooks character prompts the William Hurt character with his interview questions: "I say it here, it comes out there."

  10. The room I use for massage is actually only used for that purpose. its a spare bedroom with a full bath that i use for no other purpose than just massage there's no bed in there or anything else to emply its for anything other than work. I don't write it or the electric bill off. i was told that home office write offs raise eyebrows sometimes.. I use to know a guy that had a full bar and wrote that off as entertaining clients. i take the massage laundry out too a laundry mat and get receipts. the gym clothes i write off are only used for work i find them less clinical than me buying and writing off hospital scrubs

     

    From http://www.kiplinger.com:

     

    [h=3]4. Claiming the home office deduction[/h]Like Willie Sutton robbing banks (because that's where the money is), the IRS is drawn to returns that claim home office write-offs because it has found great success knocking down the deduction and driving up the amount of tax collected for the government. If you qualify, you can deduct a percentage of your rent, real estate taxes, utilities, phone bills, insurance and other costs that are properly allocated to the home office. That's a great deal. However, to take this write-off, you must use the space exclusively and regularly as your principal place of business. That makes it difficult to successfully claim a guest bedroom or children's playroom as a home office, even if you also use the space to do your work. "Exclusive use" means that a specific area of the home is used only for trade or business, not also for the family to watch TV at night. Don't be afraid to take the home office deduction if you're entitled to it. Risk of audit should not keep you from taking legitimate deductions. If you have it and can prove it, then use it.

    Like the article says, risk of audit should not prevent you from taking a legitimate deduction....unless you have other things to hide that might be uncovered.

  11. From the IRS Website:

    You must show that you use your home as your principal place of business. If you conduct business at a location outside of your home, but also use your home substantially and regularly to conduct business, you may qualify for a home office deduction. For example, if you have in-person meetings with patients, clients, or customers in your home in the normal course of your business, even though you also carry on business at another location, you can deduct your expenses for the part of your home used exclusively and regularly for business. You can deduct expenses for a separate free-standing structure, such as a studio, garage, or barn, if you use it exclusively and regularly for your business. The structure does not have to be your principal place of business or the only place where you meet patients, clients, or customers.

    Yes, you can base the deduction based on a percentage of your total square footage. But the square footage allocated to business must be used "exclusively" for business purposes.

  12. For the past few years and including 2012, it's even bigger than that. The employee-paid and employer paid contributions had always been equal at 6.2%, but the 2010 Tax Relief Act reduced FICA withholding for all employees by two basis points. Because the self-employed deduct the employer portion when determining your AGI, they get to deduct 6.2 of the 10.4%, or nearly 60% of what they pay into FICA.

     

    The overall tax hit is still substantial and entirely regressive, though.

    Yes I know, which is why I said "approximately" and stated that it "varies" based on self-employment income. As a tax professional, I don't like to talk in absolutes without all a taxpayer's data available. But yes, the deduction could be as high as 57.51%. It begins to fall once you reach the Social Security wage base, but are still paying the Medicare taxes at 2.9%.

     

    For instance in 2011, I had a client who's deduction against his AGI worked out to be 52.4885% of what he had paid as self-employment taxes.

     

    Kevin, I wish all my clients were as educated in tax matters as you. I wouldn't have to spend so much time telling them they can't do something. Instead, they do things and then tell me and I"m expected to get them out of it.
