When you're the first one to answer someone's question, and you give her a very informative, detailed response, and she can't be bothered to thank you...yet personally thanks everyone else who posted after you...
I'm a little sensitive about stuff like that. Lol.

Dudes that HAVE THE MONEY (I can see it on their account, wtf!) chatting with you and then saying, YES, BB I just came, ty! Bye! And dipping.... wtf? You're a VIP MEMBER on IMlive, I can SEE that you have credit and obviously have spent quite a bit and you're jacking for free in my room? And I'm NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ANGRY!? Especially when I've made NOTHING today?! UGHHHHHHHHHHHH. *rips hair out*
Some men are such assholes, that is worse than a freeloader doing it, just disgusting. Why cant they just keep their damn mouth shut then to tell us that, id rather they dont, more insulting when they say that shit.Sorry you had to deal with that jerk.

If i ever did that to you or anyone i apologize, i understand what you mean, it is nice to be thanked. Just wanted to say since it was mentioned in general. Sometimes i just scroll and i dont mean to not thank and go back and thank the ones who answered me, alot of times i will reread threads and get those i missed. haha

The fact that the random 1 star rating I received yesterday bumped me down to 4.79 stars... oy vey. Support haven't responded yet but I REALLY hope they remove it.
I hope it gets removed, that sucks. Usually support will. Sometimes i wonder myself because sometimes it can take few days to answer but they send an email few days later saying it was.

A few ISP's are had major blackouts yesterday in about 6 or 7 major metropolitan areas in the US. I know Chicago, St. Louis, and San Fran were wiped for a number of people, as well as big random pieces of the entire mid-west and west coasts.

I split 5 sites all at once and it was the slowest day ever for me on record. I only add on sites when it's really dead so yes, it was really dead yesterday. Good to know that there were ISP blackouts. I really thought all the perverts suddenly died or something.

Hold the faith ladies! January is a notoriously bad month for every sales and services industry when you factor in overspending (on us and others) during the holidays + post-holiday CC bills coming due + New Years Resolutions to spend less = dudes more protective of their often-empty wallets. They should all forget their pain and start the spoiling again very soon!

Also, Mercury is in Retrograde for most of January. It rules electronics, communication, and so much more. I wish I never believed in it but...unfortunately I do.
That's why I went on vacation. Even the hotel I stayed at lost cable and internet signal for the entire hotel while I was there.:frown:
It will be over by February 1st. Then the only thing we cam girls have to deal with is Superbowl Sunday. For those of You that can make money on that day, I say, God Bless.

Pisses me off when a new custie buys into a gold show, even tips more for more videos, then hangs out in chat.
I asked him if he would like to take me exclusive. His response was no, that he is using the gs and vids as an appetizer.
Yet, he hung out in my chat for 4 hours! Through every gs I did. Through logging off for breaks.
The block button isn't working for some reason.
I've never had someone from a gs do this before.
Dude gave me the creeps.

I feel the same Fox, i sometimes answer people & offer support for the situations they have & i see no 'Thanks' or feedback for my posts from them, is an unpleasant feeling to know u taking the time to read, think about that person problem/ situation, get a little involved trying to help & no feedback in return, not a simple "Thank you".
Babes, make a habit of going back to ur posts & see what people wrote to u & if u got help & support from the members here, give a "Thanks" in return, at least let the person know u acknowledged their answer, it's simply a matter of politeness.

Yeah, it was very odd. Like I said, I've never had that happen before. Guys, and people irl tend to get attached, and kind of addicted to me. But I always get money, or gifts out of them when they do. Lol!
But this guy needs to be set straight next time he comes in.

I hate that shit too. When you're in the checkout aisle at the grocery store, and their shopping cart is damn near up your butthole. When I'm swiping my card (to pay for my stuff), I want to be left with some personal space. Not some creep practically breathing down my neck. I ALWAYS make sure that when the roles are reversed, that I stand far back away from the person to give them their space. This is why I now use the self-checkout aisle in the grocery store.

Thank you for bringing this up. As mentioned in a couple of my recent posts, the hotel that I was staying at lost cable and internet connection (Time Warner-west coast).
One of the pso lines I log into everyday, went down also.( that was last week, so I blame it on Mercury In Retrograde). It only happened one other time in the 2 years I've been working for them(again in Retrograde).

I just said fuckit today because yesterday I had internet issues and we had time Warner here today fixing stuff. It's not quite back to normal but I think it's enough to cam with. They had to go way down a few blocks away and the issue was way down there at the pole! Stupid time Warner.. Plus SM issues lately I just can't deal with it. But that means this week I HAVE TO make $2000 so guess I'm pulling an all wee cam-a-thon...

Normally I'll be the first to point out when people are complaining that things are actually good overall.
This last week, however, things were actually bad. It was the first week we've done a back-slide on total model earnings in about a year. So anyone that had a bad week last week, yes it was true for most. I'm personally blaming the AVNs...no real reason, just can't think of anything else. The big snowstorm on the east coast and massive internet outtages all over the country in spots probably didn't help either.
However, right out the gate tonight things are already about 30% better and climbing, so hopefully last week was a temporary hiccup.

AAAAHHH it's the weekend why am I doing so crappily? I took 5 days off for mental health, came back yesterday and had a shit day full of freeloaders and in-and-out-ers. Ok, I thought, everyone has bad days. And then today, again, uuuurrrghhhh. It's not a traffic issue so I can't even blame the internet hack thing. I have plenty of guys in my room, but none of them are spending. WHY. T_T

I honestly always (most of the time lol) blame myself when things are slow. I blame myself that I dont work enough time.. that I dont smile as much and interactive as much.. I know I am guilty of these things when it is slow.. its a cause and effect for me..
Its slow then I dont work.. I dont work and dont interact cause I get frustrated.. then.. its really slow..
I say this because in the past I've never checked how other models are doing or read forums.. I was just doing my best.. and it was great.

Camming sucks because you can't really work when a major part of your body is fucked up. I was shoveling snow and then I heard crack, that crack was my lower back. I stood bent over for about 1-2 minutes before I could actually stand up. I was fine with the snow since I don't have to go anywhere or dig a car out but now I'm like F u snow. Now I have to sit in bed until my back feels better because I can hardly move. Ok I shouldn't say hardly because I can move I just can't do any major bendig or rotating. I never realize how essential a body part is until its sore. Ugh I was just getting out of/over a micro burnout too and then this happens, blah.

Hi there! Yes since writing that post i got five delicious tags and my fav count jumped from 26 to 45 in 12 hrs! Now i say that to say this,i haven't had any real money made since then last week,but hoping for a better week this week,im adding a couple more days to my schedule this week. I read that if they fav you they can find you on first line when they log in so that's a bonus.

i am averaging an OK wage I guess.. It's livable. Here where I live, its really good for income. All I need is more hours and viola! (I can only hope). I usually put 15-20 hours a week into work. This week we're going to change that to 40. will need lots of coffee and high spirits. But agreed... I want camming to be better this month. My hourly has gone down and I was hoping we'd increase that month by month. Tax refunds are coming ladies!!!

Online 4 hours....middle of 1st page....36$. Less than minimum wage. I went on my member's account and looked at my room and it seemed good. Clear pic, no lagging.
This is getting so frustrating! I haven't even seen a regular in weeks. It feels like I don't even have regulars anymore. Just "U take it up da ass bb" guys.
How bad does SM have to get before I accept that it's never going to be the site it once was.

I FINALLY had a repeat show up, as soon as I logged on~ Only To have TOTALLY turned into one of those guys who say~ "What are you wearing BB? Show me what You are wearing and I'll take you private."

I kinda figured that moving over from a vanilla persona to a domme persona would be easier because I could be more of a bitch, but as it turns out, people get awfully butthurt when you tell them off for fishing for free SPH. Or they wanna try and fuck with you in pvt and make you do "sub shit" and won't leave you alone when you end the session after yelling at them.

Camming sucks right now because even though I am usually 2nd or 3rd row on SM, and even though lately it has really sucked I have still managed to have a pretty good paid % and hours... My placement is worse now? I guess because I am not using the broadcaster but I didnt think that was effecting placement yet... Bah!
