I was sorely tempted...

As much notice as possible! Why on earth would you wait once you knew you couldn't make it? No good can come of that. Having said that, many SPs have stuff on their websites about cancellation policies. I think most are OK with it if you give them 48 hours, but after that you may be looking at having to give her a deposit before you can book with her again. But this is very much up to the lady in question...

Yup. Of course, Cleo's also being far too modest on her own account... ;)

Never visited, but they don't seem to be above a little false advertizing...

Congratulations, Miquelon!

I hate to say it, but this really feels to me like someone who's got an axe to grind with TER using Lenora Frago's murder as a stick to beat them with. Okay, so maybe the guy who set up TER is a class A-1 asshole. But the idea of a site where people can give feedback on services provided is not inherently evil; things like Consumer Reports exist, and if I want to hire a local lawyer or gardener or accountant or builder I can do my research and find out who's good and who to avoid. It's not clear to me why anyone wishing to visit a SP shouldn't go about it in a similar manner. After all, that's why many of us guys got to this site in the first place, even if we may now come for different reasons. And I think this is more important in the US, for both providers and clients, since both have to be so careful about making sure the other isn't a cop - which is something we Canadians thankfully don't have to worry about, in general. Now, to be sure, there are good and bad ways of supplying this feedback: it can be done through sites like CERB, where we keep things as friendly as possible, or it can be done through things like CK's diary, which limits itself to scammers and doesn't get into the more subjective things. And it can also be done through the various other boards which take a more "anything goes" approach and thus generate a more hostile environment. Different people will also consider different things to be important; some just want to put a tick next to as many abbreviations as possible in half an hour, and others will be looking for an entirely different experience that's far more about interaction with the whole person they're with, rather than just particular portions of their anatomy. There isn't much we can do about this; it's just the way the world is. And these different types of consumer will naturally tend to gravitate to one another and seek the opinions of other consumers who consider the same things to be important. Of course, providers can, if they wish, see who turns up where and screen appropriately depending on what sort of clients they wish to see... As far as Lenora Frago's murder is concerned, we'll never know the truth. Only two people know what really happened; one is dead, and the other has just stood trial for her murder and is therefore highly unlikely to ever give an objective account. The two big issues that contributed to her murder going unpunished are the Texas law that considers trivial quantities of property to be of more value than a life, and the criminalization of sex work that means sex workers can't advertize and work openly; it's not clear to me that TER is responsible for either of those things, regardless of the sins of either its founder or its denizens.

Alas, Tuesday to Thursday tends to end up more like Sunday and Monday... Anyway, we at FB-BBM Towers have recently begun to attempt to appreciate art. No not just the "art" that mostly involves photos of nubile young ladies with little if any clothing... but things that are acknowledged as being the best that humanity has produced. Art that has stood the test of time. In other words, oil paintings of nubile young ladies with little if any clothing. It's been hard work, but I think some of the art we've been appreciating has begun to rub off on us. When someone needed another beer we used to just chuck it across the room any old how, but now we pass each other beers... artistically!

Well... finally! I'd had the pleasure of meeting Vitto at one of the CERB socials, and that definitely convinced me that I wanted to further our acquaintance. It took a bit of time for the opportunity to arise, but I recently managed to meet her... properly ;) Well, I certainly wasn't disappointed! She gave me a very sexy massage while slowly shedding items of clothing, and once all that was gone, the real fun began. Fantastic bodyslides, and after that a whole lot more fantasticness (is that a word? It is now!) I'll definitely be back!

Stravinsky's The Rite Of Spring, visualized. Nerdy, but awesome.

Congrats, Royalfun!

Hope you had a great day, Castle!

Awesome job, OD! Seriously, you're the life and soul of the party...carry on!

Congratulations, Areez! Is it really only 500 posts? It feels like more...

But.... why? Okay... for now... Men At Work - Down Under Adam And The Ants - Antmusic Queen - I Want To Break Free http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRdo7WXTVoM (because Brian May in curlers still makes me giggle)

I should hope so too. You'll have to visit again soon so OD and I can check your adherence to the FB-BBM diet :)

Quite a few of the Bond movies work well... The Spy Who Loved Anal From Russia With Anal Anal Royale (ladies, you should consider adding this to your list of services...) On Her Majesty's Anal Service Assraker The Man With The Anal Gun AnalEye (don't worry, there's a cure) Quantum of Anal

I don't think the difference is 40 years. The difference is Texas as opposed to Iowa (or anywhere else in the civilized world, for that matter). The other huge issue here is the criminalization of sex work. The fact that the simple exchange of sex for money is illegal in Texas means that there was no legal contract between them. Usually, if you pay for service from someone and you're dissatisfied, that's a civil matter rather than a criminal one, so even if they walk off with your money you still can't shoot them. You can sue them to get your money back, but you can't call it theft. If the murderer in this case had shot a gardener or cleaner or lawyer or anyone else whose business was legal, he'd have been convicted as no theft could have occurred. But because sex work is illegal... there was no legal contract, so her walking out with the money counts as theft, and it was night-time, and so it was OK - under Texas law - for him to shoot her. I wonder if the prohibitionists who are currently hand-wringing over how terrible this is will acknowledge their own role in making it possible? I doubt it, somehow.
