So it's like 6:30 in the morning and I just got done listening to my downstairs neighbors battle it out. And by "battle it out," I mean he screamed nonstop at her for like twenty minutes. So loud it woke me up. It's not the first time I've heard that happen, either, and I'm really unsure what to do. I never hear her answer him except occasionally to cry, and I feel like he is definitely--if not physically, then verbally--abusing her. And maybe physically too. I hear some unexplained crashing noises to go along with it. Buuut since I don't have any proof and I don't want to make things harder for her than they already are, I'm hesitant to call 911. Well, it's really not even an option right now since I don't have a phone. If I wanted to report it somehow I'd have to wait to get somewhere where I did have access to a phone. I also just moved in a month ago and don't know this woman at all, so I'm not sure how going down there when she's alone (if I can figure out when that is) and trying to talk to her would go.
When the fur starts to fly, at the very least you could call the police under the pretext of 'just making a noise complaint'. You could also tell them that it's really getting ugly & you're afraid it might spill over outside their apartment. Unfortunately if the person on the receiving end refuses to take legal action there isn't much they can do, but that's how I would make them aware of the (possible/potential) problems if you don't want to come out & say 'I think he's hitting his wife'. You could also go all-in & say 'They are going at it & I am afraid he is going to kill her' just lay it on thick to get them out there faster.

It really bothers me when I see a couple and the girl's head is way bigger than the guy's head. It just doesn't look right.

One of my friends back home just had a baby and has been posting tons of pictures of it. He posted one today with his baby and a dog and I saw it and thought "they have a baby and a dog, that's just not fair." I miss my cat SO MUCH. The first day he was gone was fine but I cried all night the second time. Everytime someone posts pictures of cute animals or talks about their pets I just want to cry. I keep telling myself "he'll be back in six months" but that almost makes me feel worse because it seems like SO LONG and I'm worried he won't remember me. It's ridiculous how upset I am over a cat.

I really need to get a phone so, among other things, the next time this kind of thing happens I won't feel so helpless in case it gets bad.
The dude is succhhh a dick, too. He drives this ugly ass Mustang with racing stripes and lights under it and always pulls up to the complex playing music so loud I can hear him coming as soon as he turns into the parking lot. Ugh. And the girl is so sweet from what I can tell. I mean, I don't know her, but when I see her around she's always smiling and friendly. I don't want to jump to any conclusions about them but it really sound like he mistreats her badly.

I am a fucking idiot. I can't believe how fucked up I got. I felt fat and depressed and now I'm more depressed today. I can't believe i posted here fucked up. I'm deleting that. I fell twice. I skinned my knee and have a huge lump on my leg and have the worst period cramps. Thank god I was in the members only room all night and fell when I came out going over t a guy at the bar. They had two fucken mat things on the floor. Why? I mean I probably wouldn't have fallen if the russians didn't get me so drunk. I'm surprised they spent so well. Most european men just wanna try to get you to go home with them. i feel so bad for clueless girls. I left him to go to the bathroom and some guy walked in ( it's a unisex bathroom) I was washing my hands. And he said he had been waiting fir me and I said are you a member( no my friend is). Yeah bye. They never spend money. I see the other russian( who I was originally with, I felt bad because we sat at the bar and he gave me 2 100 bills and when we went to members only his friend dragged me off to a suite) anyway I ask where he went and the girls say he left.( Yeah they also thought they were speaking spanish.) I go out on the main floor and he was sitting with a girl at the bar and got up and brought me back to members only. And those stupid girls thought they were going to make me look stupid and were like" you're spanish right?" " You were speaking spanish'. He's like Russian sounds like spanish to you, ok. And earlier I was talking about the Gopro and apple stock i just bought with these finance guys and telling them I wanted to take my series 7 exam. The girl who was sitting with us goes' I'm glad I'm still on my parents insurance I dont need to worry about all that', Lol. Some of these girls really need to watch cnn and get educated on subjects so they can relate to guys who are in finance or whatever. Crazy.

Awww, no.^ That's your Baby! I don't have a pet now, but when I had my bunny I loved her dearly. I couldn't imagine being w/o her, even for a day. I know you posted about this, I forgot, cause of bf's Mom or something, you can't have your Baby w/you? Can you go visit hims?
Me; I get really irritated easily bout parking my car..it's older, but I try to take good care of it. I always try to find an 'end' spot where @ least on one side I can be sure no one will be too close..& I can allow a lot of room on the other side. I have so many lil' dings/dents, scratches, no to mention being keyed.>:(
Esp. ppl w/nicer fancier cars (almost anyone compared to mine) they will have no prob. squeezing in & banging their door against mine. I know when I go shopping @ this one grocery, I'm going to try street parking, not in the lot, so I don't have annoying ppl doing that.

I made arrangments to move from this hotel. My gf and I are staying but it's like bates, crack, hooker, murder hotel. and all i can here is trains and loud cars over my sound machine. I got us a 4 star on hotwire for 45. It's crown plaza and run horribly but I don't feel safe leaving money and there's a bank of america right across the street. She takes so damn long to get ready. I like to be on the floor by no later than 9:30. Early bird gets the wom and now Im not even going to get thee til after 10 and thur-sat is when all the girls work. At least if I'm at the crown plaza I'll just cab it if I don't feel like waiting. I fwel bad though, I think they charge 30 a day to park your car.:-[

Yeah, the property we live in is owned by his parents and his mum says no cats. He's staying with a friend of mine until we buy in six months. I can visit him, it's just a really long tube ride, about hour 20 mins. I'm going to see him in two weeks to take him to the vet and I'm trying to convince my boyfriend he should get to sleep over. She's sent me pics of him and her flatmates love having him around so I know he's happy, I just wish he was happy with me instead!
I told my bf I should be allowed to get another cat when we move for going through all this, I really wanted two to begin with and my cat is so social I know he's love to have a friend!

You made the right decision....I called the cops on a guy screaming at his wife in a hotel room at 3 Am and the dumb motherfucker stood outside his hotel room after the cops left and said "Whoever called the cops, I'm gonna kill you" I heard him through the window of my (locked) room LOL....Ugh fucking scum of the earth, domestic abusers...

I've spent all evening working on this "core skils" online course I have to do to be cerifified to apply for nannying jobs... and it's fucking boring, and dull, and annoying. And for what? To apply for a job that's gonna pay $17 an hour, $20 if I'm lucky? I used to make 20x that an hour and only work 4 hours a day, max, and when I was dancing, make twice that for THREE FUCKING MINUTES of dancing.
I was all for moving to a more normal lifestyle because that's what I want, but... ugh. This just feels silly. Dancing and escorting has really spoiled me for normal life.

^I feel the exact same way!
I confess that it's hard to watch this, especially since a lot of them are new girls. I want to take them under my wing, and offer to do so. But they have NO interest in learning how to hustle :( *sigh*. It's fine by me if they waste their time and make no money, but this is a job, so why not re-skill and improve your income ::)?

On that note, I confess I must be evil, because I always see it as a victory when a new girl gives up and quits. I get annoyed when a new one starts and no longer talk to them or try to help (they never listen anyway). I do not want more competition and my club is now way too full of girls considering how slow it is.

I was offered a job in my vanilla field last week and I accepted it. I appreciate everything stripping has taught me over 5.5 years and it has helped me take some positive steps in becoming the kind of person I've always wanted to be, but I'm also relieved to be hanging up the heels officially as of November 30th. Even though the increase in hours and work itself will be a tough transition, I need a stable paycheck (for my sanity's sake) and am willing to give up the freedoms dancing provides for that security. I start the new management job on December 1st, I start my MBA classes on December 2nd, and I turn 30 on December 11th...it feels like one chapter is closing and another one is gonna open...and I'm really excited about what else is to come.

Ugh. I cannot believe I just googled this guy who I was madly infatuated with, to find out he got married 2 years ago. I saw pics and a video of the wedding. Holy crushed....ouch.
I dated him briefly, four years ago. That man blew my mind. I had NO idea he had a long time GF living in another state. Jerk.
I haven't crushed super hard on a guy like that since. Like heart stopping, knee shaking, sexing him in my mind almost 24/7, sweaty palms I'm so fkn nervous crush type. *sigh* I miss that feeling/deep sexual chemistry(or whatever the fuck it was)... but then again, idk if I can normally trust ppl again.

Today I saw a video of a nanny beating the shit out of a 2 year old, then kicking her and stepping on her. I guess it had been going on for a while and the parents suspected something so they put up a hidden camera. Oh my god I started bawling my eyes out watching it. It happened somewhere in Africa but I know it goes on in the states as well. I decided after seeing that I am not ever, ever EVER leaving my baby with a nanny or in a daycare. I am going to dance for the next 4 years until he starts kindergarten. No one is ever watching him alone but me, my husband or my in laws. Period. Unbelievable!

I'm training/studying to be a nanny and would never treat a child like that... one bad apple doesn't mean we're all rotten. The behavior is despicable and abhorrent but I also don't understand how lax some parents are with hiring nannies, no background checks, no referencing, no training, etc.
I've been thinking the past few days about how much I miss dancing and want to do back. I really wanted to get a vanilla job and move on and I do feel so burnt out and worry if I went back to dancing in London I would be over it in a couple shifts... since it is so bloody stressful and difficult to make big $ here. If it weren't for my bf I would really consider moving somewhere else where dancing is better, or go back to the US and dance somewhere there for a bit, but I don't want to leave him. It just feels silly to be looking for jobs that pay so little and are more work than dancing anyway, but I also really do want to go back to school and feel like I need some CV-applicable job experience. It's just so damn hard to transition out of sex work.

I saw this video too, it was horrible!! I cried too when I saw it, I just cannot believe how evil some ppl really are. Yea, I wouldn't leave my kid with anyone else either if i had one. I didn't know that was the nanny tho, I thought it was the child's mom or something… I hope the kids parents beat that ladies' ass and then sued her for all the money she has now and will ever make and then send her to jail. what a horrible human being!

^If I was that child's mother I would probably go to jail for murder. I wanted to kill her and it's not even my baby.
My confession: I skipped work last night because I started perioding and cramping really bad. I should really go into work tonight but I'm thinking of blowing it off because I still don't feel great. I didn't tell a manager or anything so, I hope I don't get fined or fired or something, but it's been so dead in there I really don't care. There are 15 other clubs I could go to and I'm one of the only cute, under 40 year olds that works days and weeknights for them so I dare them to say something.

Confession in that vein: I also get smug when a newer girl leaves... like they couldn't hack it and the rest of us are superior because we CAN handle such a work environment.
But I'm always torn between, do I help them out, or do I go "Sink or swim, motherfucker".... I've helped out a couple of new girls recently because they were sweet and honestly no threat to me, as they are a totally different body type... and then there are those who piss me off somehow (like laying on the stage talking to a customer while my song plays halfway through and I stand there tapping my foot)... those are the ones where I wouldn't teach them to climb a pole if they paid me $100.

I get so fucking depressed about the state of our economy, the lack of viable career paths, etc. I keep reading articles about the "hypereducated poor" demographic - people with PhDs and Master's degrees who can't find full-time work and can't support themselves on the money they make. Even if you spend 10+ years in college, there's no guarantee that you'll make good money doing your job.
It feels like the only viable options are hardcore professions - doctors (who graduate with hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, are super stressed out all of the time, and work like dogs to pay back their loans), software developers (you have to have a very specific kind of intelligence to do that work), business owners (who are rarely successful long-term; job also requires a very specific skill set), and assorted health jobs such as physical therapists and dentists (who graduate with tons of debt and are in super-competitive careers) and nurses and nurse practitioners (who do a ton of physical labor, are constantly emotionally exhausted, and burn out quickly).
What the fuck is everyone else doing, job-wise? Clearly there are jobs out there - people are starting families, buying homes, getting their groceries at Whole Foods, etc. Or at least, people who are 35+ are doing those things. It feels like my generation is fucked. Like the only option is to marry rich and die of boredom as a stay-at-home-whatever. I know, this is a pity party. But there's truth to what I'm saying, and it's fucking depressing. It makes me want to just give up. But then that's not an option, obviously. Feeeeeeeek!

That's usually how it goes with me and dancing. I buy a new pair of shoes and an outfit before I've even dipped my toe back into the water to see if it's a viable option. Buying things is fun! Working...not as much fun.

I think about that kind of stuff allllllllll the time...I've decided that I want to live a very minimalist lifestyle, well below my means. I just want to save money and eventually buy a little house out in the country on an acre or two of land, buy food in bulk, get some chickens, start a garden and be a hermit. Probably do some kind of freelance something from home when I'm too old to dance. I read an article recently about how most people in my generation (Age 30 and under) are almost all employed only part time, paid way below what they deserve and it will probably stay that way. :/

I agree. The townhouse community I live in is basically a dilapidated shanty-town, and I find it scary that a majority of my neighbors are insanely-educated professionals who complain that they can't afford to live anywhere else in this area. It's ridiculous, imho.

I hate st. louis with an every fiber of my being.
I felt like this too forever until I moved away, now I appreciate the lou for being such an easy/low cost city to live in, other cities just aren't the same. I miss it sometimes, never ever thought Id say that...

I'm really starting to hate my bestfriend, she is such an attention whore. Her dad killed himself a few years ago, and now every time one of our friends loses someone to death actually has the nerve to tell them what she went through is worse. She's mad that her boyfriend of six years won't marry her so whenever one of our friends gets married or has a baby she calls them stupid and/or makes fun of them for having an ugly baby. Well I recently discovered clips4sale and I'm really excited about it. I've been out of work for about 5 months (my Grandparent's left me some money and I squandered it in a bad investment.) so I'm really happy that I wont have to go back, I plan on working really hard at clips4sale and making it my full time job. My best friend is so JEALOUS! She is so negative I don't know if she really hates it, or just hates that I found a way to be my own boss and work half the hours she does. She is so critical, even though she got evicted from her apartment. Her and her bf (who doesn't have a job) are both living with me right now and I am paying for EVERYTHING! She is not contributing any money or even buying groceries. Yet she criticizes the way I make money and is going out of her way to tell EVERYONE, hoping they will judge me like she does. She's telling people I don't even know, that she barely knows. It irks me but I feel that success is the ultimate revenge! So I plan on making a lot of money, do research, and investing lots of time into my clips store because right now all I care about it making her eat her words!

Do you think your friend may have a personality disorder? You might want to do some research and consider an exit strategy if anything rings true. I'm going through this with my mom and my best friend right now.

I think about what I would do if a zombie apocalypse were to happen...a lot. Lol Like, specific details. I'm ridiculous like this :)
I do this too! I'm so convinced some sort of global catastrophe is going to happen in my lifetime. I just hope it'll be zombies and not some scenario like The Road or a world-wide drought of epic proportions.

^lol I love Thanksgiving. I'm not even in America anymore and I'm beginning cooking tonight.
I'm watching CNN on the Ferguson decision and I don't get it... but what I also don't get is all this violent protesting as a result of it. I listened to an in-depth analysis of the decision and don't understand how a police officer with special training had no choice but to use his gun when an un-armed man came at him... it's bollocks to me. But lighting police cars on fire, fighting, destroying property-- this is NOT going to help the image of the African American community in America. It's just going to make more whites and more police officers looks at African Americans as being "violent" "dangerous" "animals" ""unreasonable" "stupid" all these negative stereotypes that are applied to the African American community that 99.9% of the time aren't true. Maybe I just don't get the anger because I'm so white I glow, but I have no issue with peaceful protesting, after the Martin shooting protesters shut down the freeway in LA and I had no issue with that, but violent protesting... I just don't agree with it and see how it's going to make progress.
I'm really starting to hate my bestfriend, she is such an attention whore. Her dad killed himself a few years ago, and now every time one of our friends loses someone to death actually has the nerve to tell them what she went through is worse. She's mad that her boyfriend of six years won't marry her so whenever one of our friends gets married or has a baby she calls them stupid and/or makes fun of them for having an ugly baby.

She sounds like a miserable person, like a friend I used to have. Turned out she was really trying to make me miserable but pretended to be my friend now Im older and I know she got joy outta my problems and if id saved around her, she would've had the opportunity to do worse things to me. I say you should cut the friendship off and find a new friend cause she's not a good one. Just my opinion

I agree and- in general people who have to one-up everyone else are just toxic in the long run. Some will sabotage others when frustrated (EX- if they can never afford a better car than you, they will slash your tires and listen to you complain with a concerned face, then laugh in private afterward. Yes I have known such types of people.) One of my oldest and craziest friends would resort to pathetic lies to never appear less than me (like claiming we had the same size breasts when in reality I was almost a cup larger.) Yeah it hurt really bad to discover that kind of pettiness and weirdness in someone I considered to be like a sister. BUT...humans are just flawed.

i think its a lot of looters and criminals taking advantage of this situation and burning, stealing, and looting everything they can because now they have a good opportunity.

Yeah it's really frustrating for me, when I have something she doesn't she complains endlessly....yet she works full time, her car was bought and paid for by her dad (before he died), she's in a committed 6 year relationship, all I got was some cash from my Grandparents and she complains endlessly. She's SO spoiled when her dad was alive she was always conning him into buying expensive things for her, paying rent, smartphones, three cars. She doesn't appreciate what she has, but complains when someone has something she doesn't. I really think I'm done with her, her jealousy is stupid. She has so much, she doesn't need to act like that. I just have to get her out of my apartment now lol....originally I let them move in and said they could stay here rent free and save up to move out....well they are not saving! They are just blowing all their money! It's stupid, and as far as I'm concerned if I'm paying the bills she doesn't need to judge me over how I'm putting a roof over her head!

I think that's definitely a lot of them but I do think a good proportion are protesters. My Facebook has been filled with posts today and there's definitely a lot of anger, which I can understand... but communication is not going to improve between the two groups from violent protesting, nor is respect going to be earned. It's disgusting some of commentary that I've heard today though, I was watching something with former mayor Giuliani (sp?) talking and he wouldn't even address the issue of areas with a high-black population having a high population of white cops, he just went on and on about how most Africans Americans are killed by African Americans so why is this an issue? Seriously... today? Ugh.
My confession-- I'm really enjoying sitting about all day, doing nothing but doing my online course for nannying, cleaning, cooking, taking care of my bf. It's so much less stressful than working. I feel like I could get used to being a stay at home mom/wife. I get stressed about not working but then kind of smile because I like not having to worry... I'm so fucking lazy.

Property can be replaced, its called insurance lump sums. But LIVES can not be replaced, and I think its sick how many people are more upset with buildings being destroyed then with a young life being lost. I'm not saying you care more about property then Micheal Brown, but a fuck ton of other people do. Some how more people think its a tragedy that buildings were burnt but not his life having been taken for no reason, and there has been no justice.
I am so so sick of everyone talking bad about the violent protests, because yeah it might make them "look bad" but you know what looks worse? Sitting back and silence as young innocent black lives are lost, and they have the right to get violent because the white police have been getting violent with young black men for decades and it seems only once every ten years we talk about it as a nation though it has never gone away.
I'm sorry but if Ferguson was to sit back and "be peaceful" it would have proven that even more white cops can kill innocent black people, I don't care if the violence makes them more angry at black people, because black people have been angry for decades. I confess I think everyone should fuck off with the "peaceful protest" bullshit because they are going to shoot you down anyways, and you know, I rather be shot fighting then be shot being peaceful.
Sometimes it takes a real fight to get peace, and I don't care how that sounds, because only people who have to fight will understand that. There are violent protests going on across the world this past year, and it will keep happening next year. I say its about time that Americans learn that destruction can lead to change, because for so long we have been scared of our government, when they should be scared of their people. Other countries get violent agasint their rulers who are injustice and we send them care packages and are on their side - but when young black Americans do it then its all thugs, but there is injustice in America, and it will never been solved by sitting back peacefully while white cops kill innocent people.
Yeah, i'm white too, and you know, I'll NEVER understand what its like to be black in america, but what I can understand is how violent protests get shit done because thats how humans have done it since the beginning of time. Peace doesn't get shit done, because if it has then we would have a lot more progress from peace then we have had with violent protests across the whole world.
Governments don't listen to peace, governments listen when you burn them to the ground. Americans could learn a lot from those in countries where their people aren't scared to fight for their rights to a fair life. Peace isn't dead, it just was never an real option.
Sorry, i'm not targeting at you (I swear, if anyone would have posted this I would have said the same thing), i'm using this as my little vent/confession as well. I'm just as sick of it as you, i'm sure.

Violence shouldn't be the answer, but peace isn't the answer, peace gets you no where. Peace gets you killed, at least violence gives you a fighting chance. We root for people in novels and movies who fight back violently against their oppressors, but when its our people, when its real human lives then suddenly everyone thinks we should just lay back like a submissive dog and learn to deal with it "peacefully" and personally i'll always say ''fuck that'".

Wasn't going to post this bc I can already see myself getting flamed for it, but wth.
It pisses me off that I have seen not one comment showing concern for the business owners whose property was & will continue to be stolen & destroyed in these riots. Not a single one. 'Property can be replaced bc of insurance lump sums'? Soooooo … there's absolutely nothing wrong w/ the consequences of this flustercluck spilling over to affect ppl who had nothing to do w/ the Brown shooting? Nothing wrong w/ the fact that these ppl's livelihoods are bearing significant damages bc of the malcontents who choose not to control themselves? Honestly, I'm not convinced that this wouldn't have happened had the officer been indicted, so I guess that's another confession there: my cynicism & complete lack of faith that any of the looters actually cared whether the officer was guilty or not.
ETA: smtg wasn't allowing me to edit b4 now, but I do want to make clear that this ^^^^ wasn't posted in response to either of the previous posts. It's actually been bothering me since seeing the news last nite & reading the paper this morning. I only went ahead w/ posting it since the subj had already been opened.

I really didn't want to get into a whole discussion of this issue which is why I just posted a comment in this thread, but I have to respond to this.
So how about the people's lives who might be endangered by a burning building or a car set on fire or a punch thrown in the air? Are their lives not important? How about a store owner who fully supports Africans American rights and was angered by the decision, and has has his property destroyed, personal items that can't be replaced ruined, their livelihood gone? Why should he have to suffer for a decision that he had nothing to do with?
I did not say there was ANYTHING wrong with protesting, NOR did I say you have to sit down like a dog. And please list me one instance where violent protesting has done anything in America? Did violent protesting in Los Angeles for 2 days after the Rodney King decision get those officers thrown in jail? Uhm, no. Did violent protesting do anything for the black community monetary wise? Uhm, no. Yell in people's faces, block the freeway so people can't drive, lie down in front of the subway so people can't get to work, run up and down the street yelling and screaming so people can't sit in their living rooms and ignore you,... I fully support that 100% because you are PEACEFULLY shoving your MEANINGFUL message in a person's face so they can't ignore it, which needs to happen in this situation. Light a car on fire? I don't even know what message you're trying to convey. We're pissed? We got that already. All you're going to do is make people afraid of you and want to put you away, all the while conveying NO meaningful message. The only thing that has changed in the last 24 hours is a lot of people who engaged in violent protesting are now in jail. No one is treating African Americans betters. Darren Wilson is still sitting at home watching TV.
The only way that things are going to change is with meaningful communication, which can be accomplished in a lot of ways, peaceful protesting being one of them. And I personally am proud to be from a country (no longer live in the USA) where changes are made based on laws that come from meaningful debate, not who has the biggest dick to swing.
To quote Michael Browns' father... “Those who got violence last night … do not express the spirit of Michael Brown. Those that burn are on their own side.”
And, as I can already see Charlie's post telling us we need to get back to confessions... I'm done.
