Wednesday I got my last 3 fillings filled. Today while eating a chicken wrap I felt something stuck between my teeth flossed and there's either a piece of my filling or my tooth or both. I'm not sure what tooth she did on the top but I think it's that one. I hope so so she'll do it for free, she better fix it for free if it is.

Bored out of mind, then someone comes into freechat and says...
"Do you take a shit every day?"
ETA: Just realised I was supposed to post this in "Stupid shit head on cam". However, it pretty much sums up my day, so I'll leave it here.

Definitely give your dentist a call Ashley Jane. I know when I had two fillings and caps for my wisdom teeth done last summer, I had little 'bits' of filling popping off for a day or two and it was totally normal. They do a bite check when you leave, but mine still felt funny until my teeth ground it down over a couple of days and took the 'excess' filling stuff with it! Hopefully it's just that process that you experienced!

I don't know which cam site was more of a pain in the ass for me to get registered on: Streamate (a long time ago), or Cams. SMH.

Yes, I know I have the milf thing going on but GRRRRRRRR, why can't I be your friends mom or for peas and rice sake your stepmother or mother in law.......no I have to be your damn mother - don't even get me started about trying to get their mother pregnant. I usually talk them into their friends mother but I just do not want that in my head from them anymore. And DON'T ask me about MY son, this is your fantasy NOT MINE. GRRRRRR.

I grab a clean dildo and he says no the other one you used. I said "Sorry, I am not into it." He leaves and rates me a 3!!! MUTHERF#*(%#($#)(#* why don't you ask before you assume everyone is going to just do whatever you say GRRRRRRRR - I have NEVER had under a 4. At that I have ONLY had 3 ratings of a 4 in 2 years.

Camming sucks right now, because I can't log on due to the fact that I'm having a total meltdown.
I have never really been a top earner or anything, but last week I had an amazing week. I put in time and effort and it paid off. Then I found out ho much the studio that I so stupidly signed up for when I didn't now anything was taking and I'm in tears. All this time I have been convinced that I am a shitty camgirl and that I cant actually do this camming thing because my earnings have just never reflected the types of earnings that seem to be standard in the industry for girls who go direct. Lo and behold all this time, my earnings (at the rate that the site pays them out) have actually been on par with everyone else. So I'm not a shitty camgirl after all, just made a shitty, uniformed choice.
That fact alone should be enough to cheer me up, but instead I'm so down about the fact that I'm trapped in a studio from which I see no easy or reasonable escape/ To add to that, as much as beginning again elsewhere is an option, I have bills I need to take care of and don't really have another six or so months to spend just to get up to earning payout or whatever. I have no idea if I should leave the whole SM thing, with fall around the corner or if I should just suck it up and take the 20% that I get, so that I can be financially stable.
My head is a stressed mess right now :( and its affecting my ability to cam big time.

@SimoneGray I am so sorry hun. They really should work on a out clause for those studios. Someone please enlighten me. Why do you have to wait 6 months? It sounds like a deterrent for leaving and hoping a cammer stays forever because they don't want to go with out some money. But what are the reasons given by the studios when this happens?

I'm shocked I haven't cried this week. $70 in 15 hours worth of camming in a whole week. I would usually work double those hours and it wasn't worth my time or effort. I've struggled so bad to live this week, I'm lucky I got dinner!

Well, Simone (and many others, including me) signed that contract with a non-competition clause and therefore she cannot cam for a certain period of time directly for SM. And SM respects those agreements. Either the performer can find a way fly under the radar somehow or she can wait or she can sit forever in the studio and get taken almost 43 % of her earnings for literally nothing (in the case of IM but there are some better or even worse studios moneywise). It sucks, especially when a performer decides to leave because nobody makes a single dime.

I know what your talking about bits of it coming off I've had this. No this is a chunk or my tooth or filling. I can feel a hole on the surface of my tooth with my tongue and if I pull my lip over you can see a weird space between my teeth. Friday I had real bad sensitivity in that tooth that should have warned me. They were closed by the time I got home and closed today so calling first thing in the am. The dentist I see is only in on Weds and even if they say any dentist can fix it I don't have a free day till Weds.

Thats not a reason sounds more like a trap. I guess what I was looking for was the reason as to WHY Streamate and other sites allow this to occur. The logistics and so forth. Why does the parent company allow those sort of contracts? It's something to think about. It's all in thest language of the contract. That's what my inquiry was about. So is the no compete clause the only reason that's stated.

We can guess what the reasons are but it won´t change anything. Just a few possible reasons... SM needs fresh faces all the time and studios do the recruiting more effectively. Or SM keeps more money (the studio gets less then 35 %). Or personal connections... Or a mix of those... Sad for those who are just trapped in this situation but there is a life without SM.

I'm in IM, I didn't make that clear from the outset. And yea it sucks big time because I'm finally getting the hang of this camming thing and now I'll have to stop for a bit and start afresh.
I do have a question though, not that I'm necessarily considering this, but is it possible to sign up with a different ID document? I've heard of this being done by girls who needed to get out of studios etc, anyone know anything about this? Daily pay is also apparently not an option anymore.

Iam SO sorry for you Simone! I Know exactly how you feel Ive been there too, I know it feels like SHIT to have to wait to be able to work again, but trust me you will have to leave that studio,. it will really be for the best. You will be SO glad when you do and your waitingperiod is over. In the meanwhile you can sign up for different other camsite and try those out, so you will still have income.
Dont give up Simone, you can do this, and you will exceed this and you will come out of this stronger and highly motivated. Go and write to diff daily pays, there are more dailypays out there, maybe there is one that can help you. I signed up with a dailyay but still had to wait six months, maybe you are more lucky. But remember even if you will have to wait for six months it is totally worth it since you will have SO much more income! You are taking your experience and your regs with you, believe me they will find you again. Have faith in yourself.
Do you have someone that is supporting you financial wise?

Simone, I know it is scary but you can sign up for some other big camsites and earn money there while you are waiting to be released. There are more options than only waiting for sm. If that doesnt work out you can maybe get a regular job/nanyowrk/animal sitting... Just some thoughts. I got back to being a nanny since I couldnt get any other job in this fucked up economy. Money is still money evn though it Might be a bit less for a moment. Keep in mind you will make up for those six months in probally 1 month working when you are back, since you will have such more income.

I'm pretty sure my neighbor (this 15-yr. old girl who feels like she can't talk to ANYONE but me and her therapist) is avoiding me now because her mom told her not to hang around with me anymore. SMH. I mentioned in a previous post that some bigmouth in the neighborhood made a remark to this other woman about what I do for work. This is a woman who, previously, was happy that her daughter had someone like me to talk to. Now, all of a sudden, the girl (who'd talk to me everyday and vent about her problems) doesn't say a word to me when she's outside or anything. I'm not gonna lie. That shit STINGS...

I'm my biggest vent right now.
I wish I had the tolerance to stay online for more than three hours. I tend to make well over my goal in this amount of time and I think it's time to bump up the amount of money I make. I am now making what I made in a full day of work in half a day's time.
I can't keep finding three hours of work acceptable. It's not acceptable. I'm disappointed in myself for being a lazy person in general. I would have killed for this opportunity in the past. I can't be bothered to make a few extra bucks because I'm so lazy.
It's time to change. I'm going to meditate more. I believe that with enough focus I can change my behavior. I don't believe it's possible to change the core being of a person. However, I do believe it is possible to change the way a person acts. I'm going to make some positive steps in my life to keep moving towards what I want in life.

I'm a bit scared of what I'm going to do in the next coming year. I'll be finishing up my AA, saving up for a car and to move out with my boyfriend. I'm also volunteering at a place I love and networking, but I'm just terrified because I'm not exactly sure what I want to do once I have graduated college with my bachelor's. My degree is pretty flexible, so I can work almost anywhere but I'm just terrified of being on my own, living with a new person, and having to worry about bills.
The shit of it is that it's what I want more than ANYTHING. I really don't get along well with my family and feel I could handle being independent. I also feel my boyfriend and I would make a great team, and I want to have a life with him, as well as make new friends and pursue my hobbies. But the issue is that my anxiety problems are going to drive me insane and i don't want to have a meltdown about it, especially since it's what I want ( need ) to do with my life. Opportunity and success scares me, it's freaking ridiculous. I'd give anything to be more relaxed and confident.

If you do not log into your Streamate account for three months straight, they will close it and allow you to sign up again and you can be indy. It doesn't matter what that contract says, Streamate says three months. If you cam from your own house you could stream on another site until your three months are up.

Jane, can you please tell me where SM states this? Or why does SM support give me a date far over 12 months after my last last performance for an indy sign up? Do they hate me so much :-)? I am aware you have a physical studio and maybe the 3 months rule can be applied there but other studios might have other rules (like camsharks -> no way out of the contract). I wish you were right but it won´t help anybody when you are possibly spreading false information even if you are just trying to help.

Yeah, I know some less than scrupulous studios have been rumored to log people in/do random brief streams to keep them 'under contract' as having logged in on such-and-such date, so that sounds risky. Plus, when I was trying to sign up for daily pay, I got accused of working for a studio (never have) and Katy had to fight with them. Support can be real bitches, especially with studio contracts. If you could just wait three months though, that'd be awesome. I'd just worry that SM would have on record that you still need to 'work' for the studio under the new account if it hadn't been long enough or something, you know?
JaneBurgess

I have a studio and Liz told me that if a performer doesnt log in for at least three months they will close the account down. That includes studio performers as well and indy performers. There is no way that camsharks can lock you into a studio for good.
I also wouldnt have posted the info it I wasn't told by Liz how it works. CS just says a canned response, you would have to ask someone higher to get a real answer.

Well, I remember Procrasturbator saying she tried to sign up and was put immediately again under the studio and she still has to wait 6 months (it was a different studio... different waiting time). Katy Boleyn had some info on her site especially for IM (+ one more studio), saying you have to wait 12 months. Maybe someone can chime in.
The camshark info was flying around some time ago but I cannot recall where.
Anyway, those who are in this damn situation have to be sure how long they should wait and act accordingly. And the opinions/experiences are obviously totally different, this is why I am trying to figure out which way might work.

Well bam--that's info straight from the mouth of a studio lady and Liz. I know I already recommend people talk to Liz if they have a studio issue, so I will definitely be adding that to my interesting tid bits information bank. Thanks girl. :)
Do you have any input on that rumor going around that girls are having their studios randomly 'stream' their account to prevent the closure and keep them in contract? Or JuliaX's note on the studio issue after leaving? I'm not with a studio, but I'm always curious how that nonsense works.

No idea, Issabelle, because I let my account close down (so my profile was taken down) back in April just to prevent any funny attempts. Anyway, I see some accounts on SM with last logins back in February, so I do not know what to think about this 3 months automatic removal rule.
But you know what? I have more than 3 months behind me. I will write a mail to Liz and ask her :-), it won´t hurt.

That's probably true. A studio owner can log into a performers account and stream as them. I wouldn't be shocked if a shady studio has done that but Streamate can see how the account was logged in as. I would think a performer could complain about it.

This is exactly why I've decided to fill out a job application at two of the places where I previously worked (they are hiring). Camming has not been making me the money I need to make, and I need guaranteed earnings. I don't know if this is because of that "summer slump" everybody keeps talking about, or what. I just can't take this anymore, so I'm gonna go back to working a regular day job, and maybe try doing a couple hours of adult stuff at night.

I just can't take this anymore, so I'm gonna go back to working a regular day job, and maybe try doing a couple hours of adult stuff at night.
Oh lord!!! That's bad! I wish you best! Hope you rock it at interviews, I have my fingers crossed for you!!!! Good luck!!

If it wasn't for my current health problem, I'd be right out there with you applying for jobs. I used to love the money and flexibility of camming but now I'm tired of seeing my income slowly decline, being all isolated at home and never knowing how much I'm going to make.
Put me back working in the retirement homes! The old people loved me and never begged for free shit...Lol
Oh and camming sucks because I made less than minimum wage today :-\

If you do not log into your Streamate account for three months straight, they will close it and allow you to sign up again and you can be indy. It doesn't matter what that contract says, Streamate says three months. If you cam from your own house you could stream on another site until your three months are up.
I was on streamate studio (physical) few years back, and then did not log on for almoust two years. My account was there till i wrote to SM and asked to delite it in this year. I needed to prove my ID for that, because i had no accsess to that mail, what i used to log in. So i am not so sure about that three month.

That's weird, they are supposed to shut them down after three months. I took a year off and I was sent messages reminding me to log in or my account would be deleted.

It sounds a bit like this whole deleting accounts after three months thing is random--like spring cleaning. They may go looking for some during down time, then not find them all and move on/get distracted by a project. It would be nice for people stuck in studios go to back on their own SM-performer contract with no studio though, so hopefully it's become a more regular thing and not a 'people who were on often/earned lots/are on our radar' thing. :)

Beggars SUCK! I've always worked days and never have I seen so many beggars in one place at one time than today! Oh am I supposed to be grateful and shitting rose pedals for being among the fortunate enough to have guests in the first place. Well if it's any consolation, haven't made a cent yet. I'm going to watch the food network. More entertaining than these dickwads.
