Rants, Raves and Opinions AKA "The Octagon"

[QUOTE=BuyingSmiles;2404203]Ok I have to ask, why the Cookie Claire thread was removed. I posted on there and suddenly, not only does my post not get posted, but the entire thread was taken off. Not just locked like I've seen in the past. I have to ask What The Fuck?

BuyingSmiles![/QUOTE]I noticed the thread earlier today. All that was on there was 4 old posts from mongers describing their visits with Claire. I asked A2 to remove it out of respect and he thought it was a good idea.

[blue]I thought that Joe had the right idea. I don't go looking for posts when something like this happens, but this was a little used thread.

While I would be damned proud to be eulogized on this forum, I'm not sure if she would have liked it.

Yes, that's the theme. But it becomes worse than complacency. I think if they maintain the business approach each time, they'll be OK. There are a couple who are fine (Steve's EE chicks), but most of the others I've seen just bring in too much drama the more you see them. That Galina is a total hottie and she's got a business type of personality each time I work through that hotel room door, and that's what I like about her.

[QUOTE=BTBear;2403219]That is why all reviews are YMMV.

When I research a provider I always read ALL of the reviews I can find on her before spending my hard earned and limited hobby funds.

My one question, was this a new provider who was really trying hard to please you the first time and then became complacent with each of the next visits? Or was there some other underlying problem that might have made the later visits not as good?

Everyone has a bad day. That is why most restaurant critics go to a restaurant more than once before writing a review.[/QUOTE]

I believe I wrote the first review of Cookie Claire when she first came on the scene. I described her in that review as a "keeper" and I truly mean't it in the best sense of the word. I find myself truly upset at her loss as it represents the loss of promise for the future. A person onl had to speak with her for a short period of time to see the intelligence and wit.

I know I cannot do the things I would normally do for the family such as send flowers to the funeral and food to the family as her involvement in our community must stay forever lost to the knowledge of those outside it.

However the next time I have an adult beverage I will raise it just slightly higher and think of her smile in a silent toast to her.

Good night sweet child.

Each time a provider is lost to drugs or is murdered, we all seem to have these Naked Lunch realizations, but instead of having a frozen moment when everyone sees what is on the end of every fork, we see what has been on the end of every dick in the forum. Well, if you can't stomach seeing the truth, stop doing it. Otherwise, own that this is the way hobbying is in our area and be quiet about it.

Just as you have decided to be cold an impartial about it. Maybe if we all are not quiet about it and shine a light upon such a sad and terrible way for a young person to pass some other person that might be using may change their ways.

Hey Huntfourever can you consider a name change your handle is awful close to mine I just got a pm from a fellow monger who thought I was you. Save for the 668 post difference our handles are very similar. I'm sure if you pm admin2 he would be more than happy to accommodate you. Thanks in advance. HL29.

I know this is just a damn shame but will I chime in on this. I had the pleasure of seeing her once. It was a very nice time. We connected very nicely. She was very easy to talk to too. This is a shame and shows bad times. Compassion is what is needed now, nothing else. If anyone knows how I can help her in any way, please pm me. This is what we should be doing to make sure she is taken care of at the end. Peace, ZT.

Perhaps there is too much confusion between you and LakersFan both having nine alpha characters in your handles followed by the number 29? My guess is that you would tell them to fuck off and learn to read.

HuntFourEver should probably review the posting guidelines so that A2 doesn't need to step in to correct his posts with blue ink. I don't see though where a name change is needed unless for some reason he is wanting to have it changed. If we are not to discourage other members from posting information, I think a similar situation might apply with this request.

That's the problem with this board to many people that won't mind their own business. Let this grown man speak for himself or are you his advisor and mouthpiece? And since I've been on here for 3 years and had this name first why would somebody ask me to change my name? Everything you said sounds stupid again chump mind your own business. And I never tried to discourage him from posting information chump. HL29.

I was pointing out that your request for HuntForEver to change his name is about as ridiculous as asking LakersFan to change his because you share a 29. Lighten up Francis.

[QUOTE=NKY747;2407014]Fires a needle into their veins and not know the consequence.[/QUOTE]I think that's a lot of girls.

Heroin's no joke -- and even with Claire's passing, another USASG provider was arrested this week for H possession and a needle. I'll save the name (mainly because it's against the rules), but, if you don't know who it is, PM me and I'll share details.

If you post in the open forum, especially this one, you open yourself up to public ridicule. If you wanted everyone else to mind their own business, you could have sent your request via pm.
