I don’t think he would . It’s mostly political talk but if J doesn’t want to that is fine.
It’s odd to not have family pop in easily for child care. Mine is very “ you take mine a week then I’ll take yours when you vacation “ with even extended family.
I’ll just see what he comes up with.
I found it weird to even talk about a trip but not give firm dates since it’s next month.

Is there a reason why a man would want to pay in advance with a money app? This one guy was adamant about paying hours in advance the full amount and now this other man is really wanting to use the cash app to send me a gift in advance. I feel more comfortable seeing them in person first before giving out my information. Some of these apps show my full name. I really hate using them sometimes but soooo many guys like these apps especially if the bank is closed or it's last minute.

I wouldn't offer this payment option unless it was with a trusted regular, and even then I don't think I'd want them to know my full name.

Carmen, isn't his daughter really sensitive to schedule changes - sleep issues and whatnot? Maybe, as a father, he just struggles with the idea of not being there for her and having such a significant schedule shift for a 'selfish' trip? Idk.

Don't know why but I thought of the store Henry Bendel today. They went out of business I think in 2019.
Anyway I always wanted something from there but never got anything. I remember always seeing girls on youtube talk about it. Before I moved here. I did visit the store in mall. Now it is a lush store.

I always feel like an asshole standing there at the door, watching the Instacart delivery person cutting off the circulation in their arms carrying my groceries over (Several bags on each wrist). But I'm not supposed to help them bring them in, right? It would make them uncomfortable if I walked over to their car trunk, and carried stuff in...right?

^^ My guess is so that they can be cheap asses and try to reverse the charges afterwards so that they can have free service or they are married and want to try to hide it from the wife. I've only ever had 1 do that for that reason(was married and would say that the charges were for work-related stuff). Letting guys know your real name is risky as hell, even regulars. All it takes is for the dude to get mad at you about something and then he could doxx you. At least with cash you already have the money and they can't pull any charge back shit.

Is there a way to know if they've done a charge back on these apps? I check but months down the road, can't they dispute it?

Me when a customer apologizes he's running late 5 minutes beforehand: *eyeroll* .....then 45 minutes pass and not a single word. HUNNY I planned you weren't coming 10 minutes after your bullshittery and I made other plans? Did you think I would wait with my hands crossed being optimistic? NOOOO. Waiting for the day I trust a man. It's why I have no problem having a child alone. I don't need your drama ass, I've had enough. I'll wait for a good guy. Not this shitttt.
If I had my own kid through a donor I'd just walk and bounce from an asshat of a male if he was no good. Not all men are like that but I'm over it because many are. Like the guy fucking me while his wife was going through cancer treatment etc. It gets old!

I’m not sure how it works, but I learned about it my transitioning to online sex worker class. Yes you have to be careful with cash apps. If you use them use a random amount everytime. Create one with a fake name and fake address. I don’t think they cover charge backs. They have been known to shut down SW’er accounts, so make sure you cash out often!
My pro domme coach is really against using them for sex work. I hope Spankpay works for IRL work. Let us know if it does.

Maybe 6 months ago but much better now.
He traveled for work for 6 days and everyone ( all of us including kid and ex ) did just fine .
I was more just in a super busy crunch planning out June and was baffled he came to me with this idea but didn't provide dates within 24 hours. Haha .
I think he will get them to me tomorrow.
We will probably go and fly comfy in Delta comfort. I am such a cheapo with planes. If I booked this myself I'd totally be economy on some bare bones flying bus.
We regularly have 4 day chunks. A 5 day trip only requires one extra day from the ex ( which we would immediatley reimburse ) or ONE day from family . If his wasn't going to help mine would too. Both our families ( everyone who can help ) lives North of us by 4-5 hours. For longer trips maybe we can enlist family to help. It's a huge favor ( them coming here ) . For a longer one we could take her up there for a family visit.
I changed my mind about the complaint. He is trying to seize / maximize time planning summer things.
Like everyone .... we didn't do much in 2020 or early 2021 . I am impressed he is planning things.

Late night tonight. Every year, we set up defects on vehicles and equipment at one of the local vocational schools and help assess their mechanic students. They used to just unplug a sensor, but that would lead to them shooting themselves in the foot, as the purpose wasn’t for them to get it figured out, but rather, to assess how they implement diagnostic procedures to try figuring it out. Since last year, they had me participate in it, and I set up a series of tasks… some may be solvable if they’re observant enough, but a number are well above the level of a tech student.
Should be fun.

Apparently there are two sets of train tracks across the street(the tracks are at roof level on an overpass to the houses so it's hard to tell). I've only ever seen one train going by at a time until today. I heard a loud noise and seen a train stop but it still sounded like a train coming and the ground was shaking. I saw the other train coming and was freaking, thinking it was going to hit the first train and cause it to derail and end up causing a huge accident. The 2nd train went on by and 20 mins later the first train started up and slowly moved out of here.

Got told today I’m a sadist by both students and instructors. But again, the point wasn’t for them to solve the issue, just to showcase their abilities to perform diagnostic procedures. One of them got the better of me on one task, though. I figured the students would all do a voltage drop test, but he had a graphing multimeter and took a graphed peak-to-peak reading. As it turns out, he was getting out of A&P (airframe and powerplant) and into diesel. Good to see some women in that class, too - and not the burly, bull types, either.

I know this is a topic we've already covered pretty extensively, but I'm always so perplexed by blue involvement on this site. Can you imagine being so desperate for attention and excitement that you'd join a forum for industry workers, as a *customer*?? It'd be like joining a support forum for waitstaff as a restaurant customer... and not just lurking, but actually starting threads, commenting, giving advice, etc. Just super bizarre and creepy to me.

I used to read fashion magazines when I was a kid because back in my day we didn't have social media.
I remember an article in Vogue when Anna Nicole Smith's husband died where they made a beautiful full page display of all the things she could buy to become part of New York high society. It was full of cute illustrations of penthouse apartments, charity galas, and a couture wardrobe.... then on the opposite page was a scathing explanation of why none of those things would ever help her fit in because she is trash and nobody would ever respect her. It was unbelievably harsh and cruel to someone who never even asked to be part of that world.
In Glamour magazine I read advice in the health and fitness section. This article was about why you shouldn't eat white foods. I guess that's still a popular idea now with keto and all, but this article had a twist. This article said it's okay to indulge sometimes. If you really want something like an ice cream sundae and can't stop thinking about it, then it's okay to eat it, just don't eat anything else for 24 hours. This is not a joke. This was actual diet advice published in a major magazine. It was terrible advice for someone like myself, maybe 10-12 years old and on the cusp of puberty body changes, to read. Very damaging to my psyche. There were many times I would eat a meal of candy and then starve myself for 24 hours because that's what I was supposed to do.
People like to criticize social media as the downfall of society. It certainly has its negatives, but mainstream media was pretty toxic too before social media came along.

Oh definitely. It's depressing when you read about the strict diets of most TV and movie stars (both male and female) & also realize airbrushing was out of control before Photoshop was big. Mainstream media pushes the unattainable to the public & makes the average person feel bad just for being happy with themselves.

I remember sitting on the floor in the grocery store reading one of those beauty magazines as a young teen and a question was asked to a dermatologist if eating pizza and other types of greasy food was bad for your skin. The dermatologist responded that it was completely fine and doesn't impact your skin whatsoever. I thought "what a load a crap" even being an early teenager. I got so much crap for wiping all that grease off my pizza with napkins LOL but they were flat out lying to people while promoting their skin products thinking about the money. It's interesting seeing how different those magazines are nowadays with the natural/clean products.

Signed my next contract although it won’t start for a bit...the travel market is finally bouncing back thank goodness! I’ll be working in outpatient on the next contract. Looking forward to getting out of nursing homes. I don’t mind the work but most of them are very dysfunctional places and the companies treat their employees with disrespect. Even though I’m paid relatively well right now it’s still not near enough for me to feel fairly compensated for the physical and mental demands of the job.
