Is the key for her to keep? If it is, you should get a door chain. I'd hate for her to walk in on you hitaching your beaver!

Because I made the decision to give my mother-in-law a key to my house! Oh she came right in, had to cancel my gold show. Thanks MOM!

Ugh. I know that it's par for the course, but got my first Internet stalky creep. He was a regular when I was even more brand-spanking new. My beginning strategy was to just own my newness and move very slowly to doing more explicit stuff, and I have always been very open about it. Before going to private with anyone, I would tell them that they were not going to get much more in private than in public, not until I had figured things out. For the most part, everyone was cool with it: they either went private or did not. Easy.
One guy insisted that he was fine with that, and became a regular. Mind you, I was only camming once a week to begin.
HE FLIPPED THE EVERLIVING FUCK OUT one night and ranted and raved at me about how selfish I was and blah blah blah that I owed him. He was obviously drunk, and had become belligerent. I had also been drinking during that session, so I got emotional, and logged off. The next day he was online and I sent him a PM to apologize for the worst of what I said toward the end (I resorted to many low blows) and to see what his deal was, figuring he had slept it off and would have something to say for himself.
He apologized, and I thought we were cool. HE DID IT AGAIN. Plus, he drove all the other customers out of my room, and it was a wasteland to that I got some mail saying that he was privately abusive to other customers as well, and saying stupid shit about me in some forums. Look, I give second chances, but not thirds. I have dealt with partners that did the ol' liquor flip on me and I am not going to have customers do that shit to me. I did the good old forever ban on him and haven't thought much of it since.
Fast forward a couple months, and I am trying to promote my Twitter handle in my room, be more consistent, log more hours, etc. I was pretty happy to get my first coupla guys to follow me. I've been trying to tweet at people that follow me, with a thanks, whathaveyou, and I notice an interesting handle of a guy. Think nothing of it. A day later, I am looking at my token stats, and I notice the same damn handle. I know he had been changing it a whole lot because his name would change in my stats/ban list, but when I noticed that this fuck had decided to follow me on Twitter. Well. YUCK.
Again, I know that these things happen, but I am creeped out. He has done a few things to suggest that he is trying to figure out real things about me. I don't think that he is clever enough to get that far, but he did figure out my city and named it in free chat (that is what made me ban him immediately). Not exactly sure what I can do besides block him on Twitter too. He has enough info up that I could probably figure out his real information, but what would I do with it?
Thanks, I guess I needed a long-winded rant. I've had similar things happen with just random guys - but this is the first cam creep. Woooo.

What exactly is FOMOing? They did the same thing to me today. They just stared or say 'brb'.
Fear Of Missing Out, wondering about all the "what ifs" and whether or not I would have had an amazing night if I actually got on for a shift.
I actually have an hour to spare right now, but laziness will likely overpower my FOMO tonight... I hate that I have to put makeup on otherwise my eyes and face get totally washed out in my lighting.

First day on MFC and I got rated 1 star and I'm almost positive I was rated 1 star by the guy who was pissed I wouldn't skype with him for 100 tkns. When I clearly had a game and countdown going on in my room...that didn't even get one player...free chat sucked today :( Not to mention, my one and only vote which was 1 star has me rated as a 1 star girl.

First day on SM after two weeks away and it's tumbleweeds and trolls. Only guy that talked to me was the "where do you live, are you married, what are you doing today, what are your interests, I'm getting ready to work tomorrow, I work two weeks on, one week off.
Ugh! I only answered the first question and he kept going on. I blocked him.
Just seems like guys that are bored and want conversation today.

I hate logging on weekdays because I get nothing but chatty dickheads who just waste my time by talking my ear off and staring at me all night. If there were as many spenders as there were freeloaders or time wasters in my room I would be rich.

Yeah, it's not great. My feed looks crap, and I know it's not me, cos on AW it's looking crisp and lovely. I'm kinda embarrassed to charge the rates I do with this blurry-ass feed.

04-14-2015, 02:00 PM
You should hide the whole rate and admire part. I did it like a year ago and it was the best decision ever, I was fed up of the dudes saying: "Rated 5* and admired baby" where is my free flash?. I am sorry that I have no time to explain it to you, there is not an option like to hide the camscore you need to customize the CCS.

Ew, is it really sucking? I'm not looking forward to starting today. I haven't been on SM consistently because I've been banking on SP with one of my best regs finding me on there!
I used to work one week and then be off a week and it RUINED my customer base tbh. Every other day is so much better.

Because a IRL creeper found me on SM tonight and tried to join my Gold Show. At least this guy was not swift enough to try to conceal his identity as he's been using the same stupid username on the internet for the last like 8 years. Banned him, but now my brain is twitching thinking about him stalking me elsewhere. Grrrr. Not a good vibe to end the night, but whatevs I guess!

OMG this is exactly how I have been feeling. I am finally biting the bullet and have an interview at the bakery that I used to work at. It's unfortunate but I need steady money and for all the time I am investing it has been so mentally draining not to mention stressful. So its not really that camming sucks more along the lines that I am sucking at it recently lol. Don't think it was really wise to continue trying to force it through this burn out but alas the bills still have to be paid. I will however probably keep it in my back pocket for additional income....I just don't want to have to depend on it anymore.

Laying on the beach and already dreading getting on cam tonight. Need a good night, hopefully my tan ass will be my saving grace. Last night was awful but I think I was just awful, wasn't into it. Camming for me these days is like which cane first the chix or the egg. Was camming slow So I sucked or did I suck b:c it was slow. I'm prob not naking much sense, sorry for that.

I've been camming for 3 years and there are still hours where I make $0. Keep at it and keep a regular schedule and you'll start to see things change.

Thanks Marina! I also have tons of respect for the women that used camming as their sole source of income. Definitely a very talented and driven group of women! I will miss my freedom of choosing when I'm going to work but I gotta do what I gotta do. Plus the change of pace will probably do me a world of good.

Camming sucks right now because this is the third time in two weeks that I've had an internet outage that's lasted hours. I'm here, all ready to get on cam, and I have to end the night having only made $26 because I can't get on. I do well on weekends and I'm pretty sure that's a several hundred dollar loss since I'd planned to cam at least 5 hours tonight.
