The theme of the day seems to be " Give Carmen a LACK OF ASSISTANCE " with everything !
There will be a some ass kicking in order because :
I want the house SPOTLESS ( because we deserve it ) and the bf WILL HELP or WILL help me pay the housekeeper again . My mind spirals down being around clutter so it just has to be done.
In my business, I'm feeling people lagging ON MOVING SALES FORWARD which will also not fly.
I will try one more time ( nicely ) in both these categories and then my dark side will come out. Let's hope I get a response one the LAST nice try !

Second night in a row that I can't get online due to internet issues - and Sundays are usually so good to me too. I know from experience that all that'll happen if I contact my ISP is a month of pointless tests and technicians coming over to tell me everything's in order when it obviously isn't, so I guess I better work on some videos...

You know what I cannot fucking stand?! Passive aggressive people. If you can't be direct about it, don't expect me to respect it. Matter of fact, I'll take it to another whole level and call your ass out, curse your motherfucking ass out then totally release and dismiss you.

I am about $3.90 since 4pm today... no joke. I want to laugh it's so pathetic. I usually average 3 times or more than that per hour! Can't handle tonight. Will stay on until 12am my time.

I was on atleast 3 hours last night and only made $7...WTF!!! Saturday I was on for 5 or 6 hours and only made $2.50?????? I raised my rates to $5.99 last Friday , could this be the reason I haven't been getting any shows? I'm only on the 2nd page but I am usually on row 1 or 2 in my category. I guess I will be lowering my rates back down to $2.99 for a while again :(
^^^ Maybe u went too high all of a sudden with rates, i mean double rates? From 3 to 6?! Maybe go 3.99 premium? 2.99 is too low but 5.99 might be too high for u now and ur actual regulars might find ur rates too high compared to what they used to pay?
Been on for a few hrs myself this morning & it was soo dead again, this week looks terrible on SM and is almost over, i took sunday & monday off & when i worked tue & wed it was soo slow, i'll sign in later on again, it's just disheartening to get ready to cam and sit in an empty room.
Putting more hrs on SM when there is no business is hurting more than logging off because it's affecting the time in paid chat & hourly -> not good.
But on the other hand when to make the money if not logging in? It's a 22 catch ;(

I'm kind of finding this to be true, in the midst of trying to get all my stuff back to normal when my prices were higher (they weren't even THAT much higher!) all of my regs seemed to have 'mysteriously disappeared.' But now that I'm back to where I was during the busy times, they're all 'mysteriously' coming back. So perhaps they all just shunned me because my prices were higher and didn't even pop in to say hi at all and just avoided it, who knows, could have been the case for some, where as some other reason could have been the case for the other, so I'm guessing working at my lower rates and staying more busy is increasing my earnings greatly and even though I don't have to work as many hours I have to work harder in pvt I prefer to be constantly busy then sitting with nothing anyways.... I threw my hip out twice last night during exclusives then got 3 toe cramps and a charlie horse in my calf, thank god for no sound or they would have heard me screaming in agony and pain cause my body is just a physical mess right now, lol. My prices worked for me before, they'll work for me again, I guess they're just at my 'nest egg' amount now and I know not to bother to increase them again.

Freeloaders just more agressive, more pushy even pvts are stupid, and guys who paying most likely treating me like a bacon. Don t wanna be pessimist, but i remember this thing was fun a while ago. now just a game to survive. to me at least. hope it ll turn soon, otherwise i wont be happy. :D
usually i dont give up and dont log off in slow hours. but now i sitting here, after made $20 in 2 hours...and wondering why the fuck i m here lol.

This is my venting over the last 6 months: I will not be complaining for a long time after saying this. Sorry everyone but this will be a long list of things that piss me off!
Adult world stuff:
*I hate guys who tried to play on my direct-dial number by calling it over and over. You bitches are blocked!
*Weirdos trying to add me on skype that I never talked to before.
* Chatline Telemania saying "Please Note: beginning January 1, 2016 the amount of Unpaid Earnings required to receive payment for any given pay period will increase from $25 to $50. As always, anything below this amount at pay period period ending will rollover and continue accumulating until the minimum threshold of $50 is reached." What kind mess is this? This company keep changing their rules every five months but it is great for newbies who have time to sell memberships all day. Damn, it is like some people do not know how to run an adult business properly. You used to be a chilled ass company now you are trying to become Chaturbate.
* So call maledoms from Second Life trying to meet chicks in real life after paying 50 dollars.(Please no)
* Talktome.com acting shady with some of entertainers (This is how Talksugar started to go down hill)
* Webtokens.com guy getting mad if you promote Niteflirt too much on your websites. ( This is why I say use him for a few months and then get your own adult merchant account. I am working hard on that one company that I truly want to work with.)
*Myphonesite keep sending me message about joining their new company on Twitter (Piss off, you guys suck at everything!)
*AdultPhonePal customer service stop being bitchy just because you do not like something.
* One idiot on ebanned.com complaining about panties being smelly enough ( Sorry if you are not used to chicks washing their bodies once a day)
* Fake ass subs trying to topped me/Fake ass masters trying to degrade me without payment ( Naw bitch, you going to pay me for my services)
*Mexican-American customers on USLove.com trying to get over on me (Nope, you will be me for extra time)
* Newbies needing to be spoon fed everything about sex work particularly about phone sex! You know, sex work is one of the hardest jobs on earth, right?( Maybe you should research and weight out your options before starting in this business.) I am not talking just on SW but on every sex worker forum plus reddit.com you see these same people.
* Guys on Niteflirt who wants to talk about lynching, rape, murder with my characters ( You can get on my direct-dial line and be charged extra for that ).
* Guys on Second life who want to play out rape fantasies and snuff fantasies but be cheap about it ( Nope, you will be charged three times the amount for regular BDSM)
* Texting companies why do want people to text for peanuts?
* Sugar daddies, should understand that rangements with me are not going to end in a happy marriage.(Shakes head :)
*Backpage stop trying to be a dick and stop taking my Canadian ads off your website.
Non-sex work related: Psychic job and other misc. stuff:
* Why do idiots call the psychic line and then get mad if my predictions do not go their way?
* Men who bitch about their lackluster careers on the psychic line yet bitch me out about not making their dreams come true?
* People who want to call about their SSI checks,lotteries, or General relief (WTF is happening?)
* Indians and Brazilians who want to set up business marriages should know that 10,000 is not enough.
Well that is enough of my complaints about everything :)

I just did a 5 min gold show with no one in it...LOL... I just need them to spend some money .. any money.. Just sat there and watched the timer go down til I went back to free chat.. NOT one fucking loser joined in.
I tried a gold show tonite too (1.5 hrs before cut time) in hope i will make some more money for the week, nothing, not a single buyer, i did not go into show but canceled the countdown when time expired, 12 mins teased them for nothing, nobody wanted me, i feel defeated :(

I rarely do gold shows.. like I might have done 8 since they came out.. just feeling desperate this week..lol.. but what I have been doing is $5 buy in for a 5 min countdown and then just start the show no matter how many guys pitch in to start and pray that more will join.. turns out I made as much as if I did a pvt per min our cut and at least I didn't sit around waiting for anyone at all to tip me or take me to pvt.. but this time didn't work out so well..lol

2. Since I am a domme, I use fetlife for promo and out of the blue so many morons with smth like I want to do anal/SPH/CBT on cam for you, but I want you: 1. to play with yourself 2 nude, 3 latex, 4 dressed like a vampire blah blah blah FUCKKK for free obviously though it is stated in my profile I charge for my time and linked to my indy site. Like WTF morons I even have very hot subs who pour their cash on me without saying a word never get to see me nude,playing with myself etc, but those idiots dream BIG. I do charity, but not for wankers my ass.

We have a neighbor whose always tweaking out of his mind, usually it provides free entertainment as we watch him from a distance as he's always up to something crazy, decides to join me and my roomies on the porch as we were having a smoke and proceeds to rant about all the drugs he wants to get his hands on, all the parties we have that he feels he should invite himself over to, (rarely, once a season maybe, and no we do not want to party with this guy) and then goes on a tangent about all the dogs he's killed. That if he gets a dog and it poops in the house he shoots it. That he "used to be" really messed up and killed a lot of dogs for fun. Choking, stabbing, shooting, etc. Really, in retrospect and with our furbabies in our arms we should have told him to fuck off and never come back. 3 women just totally stunned and freaked out, we just walked in the house and said goodbye. Then wondering if we should call the cops, and if we do as its a small town how long before he retaliates. This guy is seriously crazy, but we suspect he would have known it was us. So we busted out the taser, locked the doors, and agreed to only let the dogs out back in the fenced yard when we are with them. We live in a really nice neighborhood, this dude just makes it super uncomfortable. I like to think law enforcement is there to serve and protect but what can they really do? He didn't threaten us, we did not ask him to leave, (lesson learned, never again!) and we are all kicking ourselves for being to scared to speak up.

I literally just signed up for SW, but i have been on streamate for almost a year. I have a little black fluffball of a cat who sometimes likes to come into view for two seconds. You are totally fine lol, just as long as you didn't show your kitty off and talk about him while he was in the room, they aren't gonna punish you:)
anoncamgirl
10-26-2015, 07:27 PM
Aww, you guys are so cute. :) My cat is a cute little attention whore, I totally understand. I used to stream on Streamate and I freaked out because she came into my room while I was working! It's totally fine though, you won't get into trouble unless someone takes a screenshot and complains.
I feel bad because I so rarely get to spend time with my cat, but she always sits on my keyboard or tries to stand right in front of my monitor because I'm paying attention to that instead of her. :( Sometimes kitties have to go into the other room.
Anyways, back on topic. I wish today was a littler faster! I've only done one show today for several hours. I plan on staying online until 2 AM, so hopefully it will balance out by then.

I HATE Gold Show countdowns anymore!!!! 10 min of me begging for tips. I hate that "defeated" feeling. I hate feeling like no one wants me. It's a fucking DOLLAR, guys!!! ONE FUCKING DOLLAR!!!! It's such a blow to the self-esteem.
I used Classic Chat the other day. Fuck them. If they want to spend money on my Premium and Excl rates, let them. And I raised my prices. I needed to in order to make my daily goal. I used to love getting on cam. Now, I have REALLY, REALLY bad anxiety.
^^^ I know right? I work Classic chat & sell my privates & exclusives to fetish & vanilla guys, i seem not to attract or accommodate gold show crowd but very rarely i tried gold shows, i dont think i'll try again cause yes, it does bad to my self esteem, just saturday was soo slow i decided to try a gold show.

OMG, that's horrible... i'm sorry you have to live near him.
I know this may be the opposite to what a lot of people think, but I actually think you did the right thing by not asking him to leave, he won't know anything's up/how you feel probably, and now just avoid him as much as possible, so instead of any potential confrontation he might just think you're not about as much or something... there's nothing that can be done to bring those dogs back but hopefully he was just showing off in some kind of twisted way or exaggerating, or maybe got mixed up, I don't know, but I think the best thing is to distance yourself from him as much as possible without any drama, sounds like you did that.
glad your dogs have a safe fenced area to play in.
AlyssaJane
10-27-2015, 12:42 PM
We decided if he does invite himself over again we will be upfront and just tell him that we aren't into drugs, and we love our dogs, hence we don't want to be friends. Give him the opportunity to leave us alone, and if that doesn't work we will call the cops, but give him that verbal warning first. Give him and adult opportunity to do the right thing and just leave us be. But at this point he hasn't done anything illegal to us, just freaked us out with what he talked about. We also have a neighbor we spoke with who said a couple years ago they found their dog with a huge cut in his side, as though somebody had attempted to stab him. Luckily the dog was rescued and pulled through, but now we speculate if this guy did it. That is the thing, really it's all just speculation right now. I've seen people like this over the years tho, they dig their own grave sooner or later. Hopefully no drama going forward. We think he knows we aren't cool with him because when he waves we don't wave back. He does seem to have backed off for now.
