    I know the feeling

    except with me I 'fired' my useless customers that were taking up more time and producing less revenue and were slow paying.
    that enabled me to down size my work force and increase the bottom line............ less sometimes means more

    There was much more activity in the beginning.



    Well many never thought they would met others so they could create fantasy personas, such as Mike Lodge and Dunedain to name two.


    13 years in, we have lost almost a dozen to death.


    In the beginning, everything was new, not so much now.

    I come here looking for the story in-depth, and I try to post my own experiences the same way.

    You'd be surprised. If it wasn't for the relatively recent phenomenon of Gay Marriage the wedding planners would be lining up for food stamps. Marriage has given marriage a bad name and many adult heterosexual couples are choosing to marry at later ages or skip the matrimonial routine altogether. It's no longer considered "odd" for Men and Women in their 40s, 50s and 60s to be "unmarried". Attitudes about P4P are softening as the decreasing purchasing power of the nation's middle class is steadily decreasing and more Women are taking a "by any means necessary" approach to dating and capitalizing on their best features.

    It's a different ball game out here and couples are just as likely to have met/ hooked up on line as in person. Some of these "meat market" dating sites are thinly veiled P4P clearing houses. In just a short while I expect to be able to order a large anchovy and mushroom pizza with a happy ending on line.

    I remember a letter in Penthouse, decades ago, where a guy described achieving his own "happy ending" in a calzone ...

    Somehow, though, I don't believe that's what you've got in mind.

    Re: 09/2016 - janslov

    This is funny shit this thread, started by somebody who has never been back, and it has grown to 4 or 5 pages, simply amazing.

    As far as Apos is concerned, haven't really figured out his concern with this or this guy, but he has attacked two guys that have only voiced their opinions, as he has, still scratching my head. I will leave my opinions about the situation he was involved in, a few years back. I voiced them at the time, both here and in DR1.

    I do feel he is going into territory, that he personally should leave alone. I know all involved and at this point have no, dog in the fight, as I feel I get along with all involved. Let it lie, Apos not a good look at this point. Just saying.

    As far as Mr. Janslov is concerned if you want some more information, participate a bit.

    He's probably sitting at his computer, wondering "What dafuq did I just set off?"

    Cool Re: 09/2016 - janslov

    While you and everyone else is "welcome to their opinions" I have zero tolerance for any bullshit about what happened almost 7 years ago.

    I don't need, desire or want your advice. Never did, never will.

    Speaking to you specifically; you had no issue hugging me at your party, shaking my hand and bringing me drinks at your bar or slagging the shit out of me based on nothing but your "opinion as a former police officer" without ANY facts. That makes all of your advice and current opinion totally worthless.

    To anyone else that still wants to flog this dead horse.... get a fucking life. You were wrong before and you're still dead wrong. And yes...I'll happily say it to your face and in front of your friends if that's the way you want to play it.

    Many of you thought it great sport to speculate about what you thought, about what might have happened, could have happened, what you WANTED to have happened with no regard to the people involved or what actually happened. I doubt most of you could have withstood what I did but you're ar too "tough" to admit it.

    There was an open offer in the months after, when I was living in the DR, to come and meet with me and ask your questions face to face. Many took the offer and none...none...had any issue with after that. If you chose not too too bad. It's high time you shut up about shit you really no nothing about.

    At this point it's your issue...not mine. I don't give a fuck about what you think, and if that offends anyone....tough shit.

    Some of you have a pathetically inflated opinion of the value of your input and opinions. I've born the brunt or it and still see it aimed at others and it's ridiculous. If you actually knew what you were talking about you'd be putting it to better use than posting it on "a whore board" and DR1.

    Thanks to my friends and those that know and accept me. The rest of you....don't matter to me at all.

    just an opinion dude, you certainly don't and probably won't take it. As far as your situation, (wow 7 years ago, time flies) as I said i voiced my opinions at the time, no need to voice them again, and voiced them in those venues because those were the venues where the conversation was conducted. Obviously you know what I voiced, so you read them somewhere.....

    My guess is you as well have voiced your opinions on various topics in those same venues, or maybe I am mistaken about that as well.

    Yes I served you when you showed up at the bar, I was the host and that is what I do, anything else would have been inappropriate in my opinion.
