I hate Thanksgiving. When my family gets together it's a disaster. My mom bought the turkey that I am going to cook, prepping the stuffing that my pap will put in the turkey for me (I ain't touching turkey guts ew), she's peeling the potatoes, made an olive and celery tray, making sour cucumbers, and making 2 pies. I'm making 2 pies also and I'll probably end up making the potatoes. My mom's boyfriend usually gets the biscuits and dunno who's bringing corn. My one aunt is making the cranberries. My other aunt is telling my pap she's making everything. Every year she just makes green bean casserole and broccoli and cheese and one of those jello cakes no one eats, well in my family. She always wants to make it sound like she does all this shit when she doesn't. Two years ago she told me how to make the turkey I followed her instructions and it burned so I got the blame. Last year all she did was buy and stuff it. I put in the oven, basted it, and timed it and she said she did all the work. I'd rather stuff it then have to baste it and check it every hour. Then my pap keeps saying the house is a mess. No the house is fine it's now a mess because he moved the medical supplies from a side table to the dinning room table and now they're in a bag. When my gram comes home and we need those supplies guess what we're not gonna find them cause he can't just leave them there for the nurse! Is it January yet?

NO PRIVATES ON SM...LIKE NONE. I can usually rake in at least a few in a 3 hour shift. What the hell SM?

You'll have to call an exterminator. The hubs is an exterminator, and he says they are nearly impossible to get rid of on your own once they've taken over the house. Whatever you are spraying, you have to spray under that black or white muslin piece that is staple gunned to the bottom of couches or box springs. The bedbugs hide in there. You have to bag everything up for like 3 days I think to suffocate them ( clothes, linen) and then wash in super hot water. All companies have their own methods, but this is just what I've heard listening to him talk shop. I've also heard of borax and hot water being used to scrub the mattress and furniture.
Thank you. Are exterminators expensive? also I rent an apartment should I call the exterminator myself or have the landlord do it? I am having horrible reactions to these bites the swell, they itch like a mother fucker, and the look like 3 to 5 mosquitoes decided to feast on me in the same spot at the same time! grrr! I can't win!

Camming tottaly SUCKS because the guy who signed up 2 days ago with my cammodels link,was my regular from ifriends,who wanted to surprise me (he heard that the cammodels link gives extra percentage and he wanted to help).Oh well,I got my account suspended because of this for 2 days.
The idiots from streamate thought that I asked him to delete his actual account from the site and sign up with the cammodels link.
Oh well,at least he tried to repair his mistake by tipping me 400$ for 2 days of work on ifriends .
I've got 12 hours left till I get my suspension off...

Camming sucks because KL is having some major issues meaning that its been a while since anyone bought a decent pvt from me. I am a bit stressed because I am late with rent already and I need to make enough for their payout by wednesday, but at this rate its slow going. Trying hard to stay positive but man oh man are these tech issues messing with me.

Camming sucks right now cos I was ill most of last week (including my birthday!!) and when it got to Friday I hit AW so hard, new pics, new rates, new (longer) hours....despite still being ill I logged on for over 12 hours a day, Fri, Sat, Sun...
And made the grand total of 12p.

I hate the custies who used to take me to the pvts suddenly tell me they wanna meet me and work with me so people can pay and watch us fuck. No, thanks. That is nasty and very INSULTING, plain and simple. I had to ban a custie because of that.. He was one of my few regs who take me to exclusive at $9.99. =/

I really had to dig for this thread.
I guess I sort of need advice?
Boyfriend is driving me fucking nuts. Absolutely fucking nuts.
We can't go a day without him taking something I say out of context and running with it and then he gets all huffy and puffy.
He sleeps a lot, like 14 hrs per day - has no job. I tried to wake him up so I could cam/he could move to another room. it didn't work. so after he woke up (at 3pm) i asked if i should start camming in the living room even though i juuuuuuuuust rearranged the bedroom to work.
Now he's really upset because I 'implied that he prevents me from working' which um, I guess maybe is true because he DOES.
So he's talking again about how insensitive I am etc etc I'm the worst. and I caaan't deal with a guilt trip.
I seriously get one of these weird fight/guilt trips right before I cam EVERY SINGLE DAY. It puts me in a shitty mood, makes me feel really blank and depressed and exhausted.
How do I pull myself out of the post-fight funk? Do you ladies have any specific rituals that work for you? Certain songs or something? Meth? Anything?

^Just resolve it before you go on cam, I'm kinda the same way. If you can't, just center your camming personality and look at stuff online that'll make you smile while you're in free chat, cuz God knows customers won't make your shitty mood better.

Camming sucks right now because... I've spent a large number of hours recently trying to make sure that I have done everything I can to prevent disconnects and glitches on my end. I upgraded my internet service, checked all my settings and all my equipment, and tweaked shit to make sure everything was running properly. And yet, despite my fast internet speeds, all the sites I work on are having TERRIBLE lag issues (it's not just me, I'm seeing it on other ladies, too). WTF!

Today was a bad one. I was down 20% in paid chat, had nothing but trolls the first half of my night and then total lurker silence for the last 2 hours until my stomach started cramping up. Cut my night short and am now doubled over with some sort of stomach flu/food poisoning thing. I hope to God this passes quickly because I have 9 more days to make as much money as I possibly can before I leave for my 3 week trip. Stress. :(

I've been having the same issue! It's driving me crazy trying to figure out what's causing it! Let me know if you figure it out. I always assume it's my Internet connection, even though my speeds are great, maybe it's unstable? I just have no idea :(

^^ I hardly ever get disconnected on SM, but I did last night when I decided to jump back on.
The only thing I can think of is that my computer had been on the whole day, i.e over 7 hours. Even though I have a cooling fan, what else could it be?:-\
The other times it has happened was when I did as well.:shrug:

I know this is old but you could be allergic to them. I stayed at a hotel once and ended up with itchy welts on my arms from bedbugs that made the ER doctor's eyes bug out before he could put on his professional face.

I have been a renter most of my adult life, and I think the landlord is responsible for the cost of an exterminator. Possibly your Drs. visit as well.

HOLD UP! So you are supporting his no job ass and he doesn't even have the decency to let your have your space and peace? My ritual is, if you can't bring out the best in me, you better fucking not bring the stress out. That goes for friends, family, and men. I don't let anyone fucks with my vibe.
I also feel you are enabling his bad behaviors. He's using you as a crutch!

Having a dude in free chat on SM seem like hes going to buy a show from you, then says and I quote "You may not believe this or not, but I am actually attractive and don't need to be on a site like this" haha, then WHY are you here?

What a jackass! What makes him think that all of our customers are ugly lonely losers? I have plenty of sexy men take me c2c when they buy shows. Not because they can't get it in real life, because they obviously can. Lol such a funny assumption.

You can buy a 200 yearly membership for up to 3 devices at geek squad .. anytime you have a problem.. I got that in February and used it a few times.. and even had a new hard drive installed.. no worrying about computer problems.. leave it to the pro's... they do remote work as well.. I need to do an online test cuz my computer keeps telling me low on memory and I don't why .. never has done that before.. totally worth it.. one time I called them because My antivirus wouldn't install and they did it for me.. think of all the hours of time you waste figuring out your problems and aren't online camming.

December used to be a good month but this year, ummm, no, at least SM is soo slow for me, i wonder if these guys will come around close to the holidays, i plan to work, i have nowhere to go anyway; i get regulars in my room that are wasting my time, they dont buy shows, good paying regulars that bail as soon as i ask for pvt? This is not normal for me, seriously, i trained them to come over when they willing to go pvt but now they come up with excuses like no funds or not just now or not at home yet, wtf?

I was on last night and top of the front page... Crickets. I poked around other models around my placement. Saw a room with +300 guys in it. So I knew not to stress too hard, crazy show happening ok I get it. Told myself not to stress, just take it easy. Finally got a few exclusive requests. When I would go I accept the show and it would not allow the member to take me alone! It would make the sound when they leave a show, and then my open room would clear out all 7 people at the same time. I finally signed off after 4 hours. Hopefully camming all day & night today can help me play catch up after the disaster that was last night. >.<

Camming Sucks because I was so pumped to work a 10hr shift and to celebrate my one year cammiversary today. I've been on for 5 hours, and am having the WORST day of my camming career... literally ever and on my cammiversary! It's like the Universe is playing a practical joke on me. I've had so many mean guys and my paid % is at 11%. I want to cry. I feel so crappy and stressed and every time I take a break I come back with a positive attitude, refreshed and then these guys just SQUASH it within minutes.
I'm gonna try another 2 hours. But man, this is literally the first time I've ever felt like crying on cam. Pity party for one.

I don't know what's going on but for the last month or so I've had way more guys than usual insist on using Paypal. It used to be that maybe 1/5 guys would ask about Paypal, I'd tell them no (and sometimes explain why), and it was a dealbreaker for half of them. Ok, fine, I don't really give a fuck about 1/10 guys. But now about half of the guys who add me want to pay with Paypal and refuse to pay any other way (except for Amazon GC, of course.) IDK if more girls are taking Paypal or if more girls are saying "no Paypal" on their ads so because I don't specifically say "no Paypal" (I don't like to emphasize things that I don't do, I feel like it's bad mojo) these guys think I'll be more receptive to it but it's pissing me off.

... You deserve better , if your supporting him he needs to deal with it , I would make him change or end it with him.I know I had a similar situation It can be such a downer.and why 14 hours of sleep??? Get a job.. He won't get a job sleeping the majority of the day...
