@SarahAlexxx You are unbelievably sexy! It's been far too long.

@MelanieRose you are a special person. I wish you all the best for Valentines day. (and every day!)

As always @Phaedrus, I have enjoyed reading your perspectives on this complex issue. Very insightful.

Welcome back Boomer! Glad to see you back here.

Ever tried grocery shopping with a couple of toddlers without strapping them down in the cart seats? Good luck with that lol.

Definitely glitching. I'm sure it's temporary.

The Gentleman's Club was my first experience with the industry. (I think I'm dating myself). It wasn't as intimate of an encounter as seeing an independent sp by any means, but there is something to be said for the convenience of the "no appointments necessary" format lol. They closed down not long after that. Apparently they got raided and harassed by LE so often that it just wasn't worth it to continue. I believe the laws are such here that it would be very difficult for most agency models to exist. (At least that's my understanding.)

Another amazing and insightful interview. Thank you both for doing this.

Happy new year Cato and to all of my friends here at Lyla. Many happy returns.

I've been in business many years as well, and I've been guilty of keeping people around far longer than I should have. Sometimes out of compassion, sometimes because it is simply the easiest option. I've learned something over the years though. You owe it to the people who are doing their job properly and putting in the effort to not let it continue. Nothing kills morale more quickly than watching a coworker coast through without any repercussions. (They are likely already resentful for having to carry the extra weight.) I hope this doesn't sound too cold, but the best thing you can do for the rest of your team is to let this person go. They need to know that their hard work is appreciated. You can try talking to this person first if it makes you feel better, but again, from my experience, the best you can hope for is a temporary effort before they fall back into old habits. I think you already know what needs to be done. It's the worst part of being an employer, but failing to do it when necessary can have larger repercussions than you realize.

Very enlightening. Thank you @lydiahardwood for doing this interview, and thank you to SWAN for all of the important work that you do. While sex trafficking is a real problem, it is imperative that we not allow it to become an excuse to legislate morality. Thank you for shining a spotlight on the harm that it can do. Education is key. Well done. Keep it up.

Congratulations to all of the winners, and thank you @lydiahardwood for this thread! I have enjoyed reading the many wonderful comments, and have appreciated some much needed positivity over the past week. Best of the season to all of my friends here at Lyla.

A special thank you to @Janebondage for the many insightful conversations through the years. I have learned much from you! I wish you an amazing Christmas and and an incredible new year. Cheers to you.

Merry Christmas and all the best of the holidays to @East Coast Kimmy. Hope you're having a wonderful day.

Best of the season to @Mandyxxo. Hope you have a Merry Christmas beautiful lady. 😉

Thanks to @NotchJohnson whos tireless dedication to posting amazing photos in the various groups and threads, never ceases to brighten my day.

FYI, There are a ton of "deposit scam" ads on LL. For some reason they often seem to pick Sydney as a location. Maybe it's a computer algorithm? I don't know. Be particularly careful there. They often also have the same ad running in other cities across the country. The goal is to engage you in texts and convince you to send an e-transfer for a deposit. Then they will ghost you. Basically don't send deposits unless you can verify they are legit first. (Web site, recommendations, social media presence, etc.). Also, there are many ways to search images. They easiest for me is to simply right click on the image (using Google Chrome) and click "search google for image". It will show you other places that photo is being used. Good luck @Sea-bug-guy!

Shout out to @MelanieRose just for being you! 😉 Best of the season to you.

A bit late posting this recco, sorry. 😉 I've had the extreme pleasure of meeting Kimmy. She is a remarkably beautiful lady. Tall, amazing figure and an exceptionally pretty face. She is also friendly and fairly easy to talk to. The research I did seemed to turn up a common theme. "Pics do not do her justice". I have to agree with this whole heartedly. As attractive as the photos are, I was still surprised by how pretty she is in person. Thank you @East Coast Kimmy for a wonderful time! I will definitely be repeating.

Seconded! Great choice and a wonderful lady.

Hear interview! Thanks Notch and Lydia!

Thanks waterat. My apologies for my perhaps snarky retort @rykky. I honestly meant no offence with my original post and am sorry if it came off that way. (And my second post was unnecessary.) Have a good weekend everyone.

Honestly, I found your criticism of the OP was unwarranted and possibly even a little mean spirited. I thought I'd try to answer the question that he actually asked instead of just jumping on him. My bad.

Agreed. The OP wasn't asking if it was OK to pressure someone into something they aren't comfortable with though. It was more about how to interpret what was stated, and if there was a polite way to ask for clarification without coming off as doing just that. It can be a touchy subject. I would suggest being as polite as possible with the query and make it crystal clear that you are just asking for clarification and that you respect her boundaries. (And make sure you have researched and made sure that the answer was not already given in an ad or website.) Good luck.
