Rants, Raves and Opinions AKA "The Octagon"

[QUOTE=JacknDrive;2397253]I've never broken any law taking a girl out to lunch or knocking on a motel door. Yet, by what all these internet lawyers state, I should be in front of a judge pleading for forgiveness. Self paranoia can be a dangerous emotion.

BTW, tomorrow is friday the 13th, everyone be careful.[/QUOTE]Meh. If you answer a backpage ad, go to a motel with a wad of cash and it's a sting, the cops will almost certainly arrest you. You can tell anyone you want you didn't commit a crime, but you'll still be arrested and have your mug on a website. That's not paranoia, that's reality.

I just want to give a happy shout out to Admin for the larger pictures of the girls in the classifieds. What a difference!

Thank you.

Sorry to hear about such an awful day.

[QUOTE=WorksAlot;2396537]I see no reason for any of us to ***** about providers not being prompt in their responses. There will always be those guys that keep letting providers get away with it. I personally give a provider 10 minutes to respond before I start texting the next one. If they don't respond within 10 minutes, I move on to the next one. There will always be providers that could care less about service so I don't let it cramp my style.[/QUOTE]I personally will give them time, for one reason and one reason only. I don't like it when they are on the phone when I am paying for there time. I want full attention on me. So how can I get mad if another guy wants the same thing. I don't blame them honestly. It is our hard earned money. I always ask for there phone to be put on silent. So yes I will give them time to answer.

[QUOTE=CurvyChristina;2396567]I've had the worst, an I mean the WORST working day of my entire career, I just give up, where do I start, so I buy this house because the basement is laid out in a way the my clients can enter the basement door and the restroom is directly to your right, service room directly to the left, it's a back door basement so clients can pull around back an park in privacy right in front of the door.

First the snow, this is a already laid gravel path, however being vacant for months, grass grew into the gravel, then the snow came, slipping around getting back there, then. IT MELTED YESTERDAY.

It started with someone getting stuck on the side, which left him there STUCK for 20 minutes, which meant my NEXT client came running into him, so, my HUSBAND tried to assist in getting my first client OUT of the mud, my current client wanted me to leave my then stuck client and go start his massage, my stuck client told me to go ahead and he'd be fine, so I took my next client inside and began his massage, all the while hearing spinning tires outside my window.

After the massage we went out to find this client has spun his tires SOOOO DEEP, he was embedded into mud and gravel, then it started RAINING. So now my 2nd client is blocked in behind the first client, my SUV was perfectly capable of pulling out the first client however it was apparently a rental car and the stuck client wanted a professional tow truck to pull him out. So the 3 of us waited, and waited and waited.

Tow truck driver arrives, 21 yr old jerk who starts flirting with me in front of my husband and two clients! . Then the unthinkable happened, are you all ready?

The tow truck driver, instead of using his wench, asked the 2nd client who has a brand new 2014 mustang, can he try getting around the first client driving the car himself, personally I seen the twinkle in this kids eyes, he wanted to drive that mustang, I thought my client of 37 yrs old seen the kids look in his eyes too, HE DIDN'T, So he hands over the keys, this kid jumps in the mustang and PEELS OUT throwing mud and rocks all over all of us, my clients and I are covered in mud. My client got pissed I couldn't think of letting him get in his mustang covered in two inches of mud so I ran in my house and grabbed a sheet to cover his seats for him to sit on, he's mad at the tow truck driver and he drove off without paying the tow truck driver, I didn't blame him, now for the rental, this client has been at my home 3 hours now, I had to cancel my next client to prevent another run in, " he loved being cancelled by the way ". And finally the first and original client gets pulled out, it's now dark out. I woke up today, and the aftermath in my yard, it's awful, the beautiful new home was splattered with mud, from the peel out. And to beat it all, neither client was a personal client, both just plain old hot stone massage clients, no humor, no fun, no nothing. So I'm rethinking this pulling around back thing until this gross wet ground dries out, I'm taking a nice hot bath an I'm going to do things that most women would be embarrassed to mention, but you know what! I don't care! I want candles for shadows!! I want bubbles for skin to peek through, and I might get drunk too!! Door locked and ipad music playing an I might even turn down the ipad to MUTE an watch a fucking porno! I just want to die, this was the most embarrassing day of my entire life and I just need to get personal and relieve some serious stress. I'm so sorry to those two clients, I don't blame them if they never come back.

Just shoot me please![/QUOTE]I don't know you, Christina, but you sound like you really take your business seriously and want your clients to have a good time. In a couple of weeks, you will look at this series of unfortunate events and laugh your ass off at one of the funniest happenings of your life. This scene would have made a great sit com episode! BTW, hope your self-indulgence was enjoyable!

The person who said (until they get smacked yes it's a crime to do a massage without a license, I'll wait while you google it).

That actually completely FALSE, in OHIO, the States considers two standards of massage and also two types of license.

The state of Ohio DOES ALLOW someone to give what's defined as "therapeutic " massage, it's a non medical massage and provided for relaxation purposes only, you can actually get certified by mail, it sucks for people like me who owe a sht ton of school loans, but it is true I assure you. Anyone can provide a non medical, relaxation or even hot stone massage without being charged with a crime. Also! In a salon or parlor setting, only one person has to be licensed by a Columbus state testing, all the other workers are allowed to work on clients in a therapeutic massage so long as one of the people in the building employed are licensed, I still have all my text books I'll take a pic of the actual little paragraph to show you that in Ohio, you really are allowed to charge for and provide non medical massages, for medical massages like deep tissue, sports massage, pregnancy massage you have to be in a registered salon or parlor an be fully licensed not just certified. If you are working from home, you just have to be living in a zoning area that allows for home based businesses that accept the public, if it's not zoned for a home based public service you can still work from home an run your business through your home for like accounting an things where it's phone calls, computer contact ect, no public coming to your home though.

So it all depends what your claiming you are providing, a medical service or just a therapeutic service.

Have you tried different browsers, I use my phone and use one called (Downloader) I'm able to open the pics up full screen. Another thing I like about it is that its password protected so if someone gets ahold of my phone they can't see my hobby info or anything else I want to keep private.

Same result. Photo opens as small photo taking up about 1/5th of the page and has an "X" in the upper right hand corner. I really don't see how you can open the photos full screen with any quality. I just downloaded a photo and checked it out in photoshop. The photos are only 300 x 325 pixils and are 3 inches by 4 inches. At full screen, they would look pretty bad on a computer. The standard photo upload on the internet is 640 pixils, but even that sometimes leaves something to be desired. I don't know about downloader, it could be that looking at them on a cell phone screen is ok at 300 x 325 pixils, but not on a computer screen. I don't think that there has been any unknown changes by the Russians. They wouldn't want to piss A2 off by doing something he wasn't aware of before hand. LOL.

Quick question. I search and get results from a forum. But often I will click the link and the post doesn't seem to exist. Am I missing something?

She returned to Memphis yesterday. I met up with LSM at her hotel, but had planned for only saying hello and snapping a few photos. Something came up and she persuaded me to stay longer. That bathing suit she was wearing hardly covered up her assets. I could carry it in my shirt pocket and still have room for my iphone, glasses and a fountain pen! You can see that I was glad to see her and what it was that came up.

(A) Massage therapy is the treatment of disorders of the human body by the manipulation of soft tissue through the systematic external application of massage techniques including touch, stroking, friction, vibration, percussion, kneading, stretching, compression, and joint movements within the normal physiologic range of motion; and adjunctive thereto, the external application of water, heat, cold, topical preparations, and mechanical devices.).

You might want to reach out and thank Ohio's Massage Therapy Advisory Committee (MTAC) that had the law changed in 2012.

I am usually okay with computers, but I have not been able to run a successful search on this site.

I go to Advanced Search, put the provider's name as key word, tell it to look in Ohio / Cincinnati, but the search always comes up empty (even when I know there are posts with her name in them).

Can anyone lend a hand?

Did you ever write a review, after even waiting a night or two after the session, and then weeks or even a month or two later after seeing the provider a couple more time, you think to yourself, "Man, I wish I hadn't written that review?" This is more of a Cincinnati issue for me than anywhere else.

General question regarding photos. If you click on photos under any given thread it will take you to a box. You then select a photo. After viewing it you have to go back to the thread and start again. Isn't there an easier way to view these pics? Is there a way to just click from one to the next without having to restart the process each time?

Second question, why all of a sudden are posts running continuously on the same line until you hit the enter key? They no longer begin a new line when they get to the end of the box. It is frustrating because you can't easily see what you have typed.

Ok, that must be it. Word wrap is not working but I am using Firefox so I guess I will access it via IE. Thanks.

As to the pics, you should be able to just click from one to the next. Can't seem to do that, though.

I got to say this, got the new phone today so now I don't have to erase old text before it will allow new text to come in, one text I found while trying to salvage my schedule because I changed my 14 day pos work phone to one more user friendly!

I read a text from a guy who says he's text me two days in a row an called me yesterday and wants in TONIGHT or he's writing a bad review! Yes! Someone just threatened to write a bad review without ever meeting me!! Without ever having a session appointment, yet he was going on an on about being ignored an even said he has ruined girls business by denying him as a client!! (ever heard of getting more bees with honey mister?) so I stopped set this text to explain that threatening providers with bad reviews as a form of intimidating them to get him in was a bad approach, I then explained that he need stop being so impatient because some girls require a referral which could take a day or two anyway!!

He then threatened to get me kicked of BP! Lmao I told him to relax that his temper is hendering him more than helping him.

Why would a client attempt using bad reviews as a threat to get in!? An even if that worked? How well do you think he'd be treated once inside for services? I'm lost on this guys approach!

Ladies if you want this guy's number to avoid him just PM ME or text me. Thanks.
