[QUOTE=Ryuut;4878391]Felt like cheating but the cremation of Sam McGee is the answer.[/QUOTE]Correct again. The plagiarized poem I used in Jada's review was [B]The Cremation Of Sam McGee [i]by Robert W. Service[/i][/B].
[B]I do not know how long in the snow I wrestled with grisly fear;
But the stars came out and they danced about ere again I ventured near;
I was sick with dread, but I bravely said: "I'll just take a peep inside.
I guess he's cooked, and it's time I looked"; ... then the door I opened wide.
And there sat Sam, looking cool and calm, in the heart of the furnace roar;
And he wore a smile you could see a mile, and he said: "Please close that door.
It's fine in here, but I greatly fear you'll let in the cold and storm
Since I left Plumtree, down in Tennessee, it's the first time I've been warm."[/B]
So one day a couple weeks ago, I had some time on my hands and felt an urge taking hold. No problem, I'll reach out to some providers to see if we can set up a mutually beneficial meeting. Because I know these ladies aren't the best at communicating and following thru, I figure I'll reach out to three of them, all regularly posting on STG, all had posted within the past few hours, all reviewed multiple times on this board.
The best responded within 10 or 15 minutes. It went downhill though from there. She tells me she's available, just needing to check into "my room". I head to the general area that was listed in her ad and also where several recent reviews indicated she had been staying. After maybe 20 minutes or so, I reach out again. She tells me she's checking in. I ask if it's the same place. Nope, she's in a different city about 25 minutes away! Damn. I tell her I can't get there, not enough time, and I tell her I'm where she had been. Silence. I had back towards where I came from and where I need to get back to. THEN she reaches out and says she's where I had just come from! Wait. What? I went where you had been, you then tell me you're elsewhere, I say that won't work as I'm where you had been before which is too far away, then, after some time passes, you tell me you're in the original location? I reached out once more, never heard back from her.
The middle of the pack provider responded about four hours after I first reached out. I politely let her know that it was too late, my window of opportunity had passed me by. I also asked if she was going to remain at the address she gave me as I'd like to meet her and knowing the location would help me with the logistics of making that happen. Despite my text being sent within about 10 minutes of her text, she never replied to my question.
The worst of them never responded. As noted above, she had posted an ad on STG a few hours earlier. I sent text messages twice, about two hours apart, both letting her know who I was, where I saw her ad and what I was wanting to set up. Zero response.
There you have it. Three well known providers. Three varying degrees of poor or no responses. Zero meetings. Frustrating.

So far, no response. Now I have a meeting with Jen. She's not the best responder either but at least she'll reply hours later. Like I said earlier, the good responders are Stacey, Sunny, Dana and my UTR.

I've tried to see her in Daytona, Melbourne and Coca Beach. We have had very good text communication with everything planned out only to have her go silent the day of the planned visit. My suspicion is that she has her regulars who take care of her and she feels safe with them. I also suspect that she has no problem finding a boyfriend if she wants to help her out also. These are just guesses on my part because as I stated before I have never meet her or know anything about her personally. I'm going to keep on trying to see her because all her reviews are very good minus the communication issues but the effort at which I put forth will be somewhat subdued due to not wanting to get my hopes up.

I remember seeing one eventually though I had to change numbers after being blown off. I talked to her about it, and she complained about being blown off. But she was talking about me and meetings she ghosted me on! They simply can't keep track of communications and mix everybody up. As a defense, they simply blame the mongers (though we are not always innocent, I'll admit). You have to remember that for the most part, these are people that would really struggle to hold down a minimum wage job but are charging fees that a lawyer would love to get.

So very, very true for almost all of these providers.
With their typical marketable skill sets and habits, very few could hold down a decent job.
But, they have found their niche and they get paid at better rates than 90 percent of typical folks. Of course, that is when and if they follow through on an appointment.
Don't get me wrong, some few are on top of it and I don't begrudge them their asking price. After all, there is not a lot of mainstream competition for the services we are seeking.
Just curious. Does anyone know a provider or a forum member who has, or has had, COVID19? Many members are justifiably concerned about getting this. Some are over 60 and allegedly have a higher risk of very serious consequences if they do get it. So I ask, what is the situation in our community of hobbyists? This activity we participate in dos not lend itself to social distancing or wearing a mask. Maybe a blind fold or handcuffs. LOL.

If nothing else, at least I added the links so as to have the members (hopefully) know to which provider he was referring to and I did it in a way that I consider to be both polite and helpful.

Two are prefect matches for rhyme and meter and the third is so close that I feel it's well within the bounds of poetic license.

By the way, my first thought when I read your poem was Annabel Lee by Edgar Allen Poe. It's a good match in rhyme scheme and meter, but certainly not perfect.
However, a dead ringer for your poem is The Ballad of Reading Gaol by Oscar Wilde (pronounced Redding Jail). It also happens to be one of my favorite poems. If you've never read it, pour yourself a glass of red, turn the lights down low, and tuck in to a true literary masterpiece.
So what does this poetry crap have to do with getting laid, the naysayers cry? The truth is, every woman on this planet is sapiosexual.

I am no great appreciator of poetry, but that truly is a masterpiece. I don't think you even need to understand poetry (as I don't), to appreciate the brilliance of it. Each man does indeed kill the thing he loves, it seems.

RoadWarrior, contrary to recent reporting, there are definitely mongers who enjoy your poem-infused reviews; me for starters.
I, for one, deeply appreciate the creativity you inject into your reports. I have no interest in a forum where reviews are delivered in sound bites or read like a date night checklist. I have never logged on and thought to myself, "Gee, I hope I'm not entertained right now". I don't want to read only what a bloke did. I want to read what he though, felt, and learned. I want to vicariously experience what he experienced, if only momentarily. And you know what brother? It's hard to beat the efficiency and efficacy of communicating in well written verse.
Just look at those stanzas from The Ballad of Reading Gaol that DJMiles so aptly pointed out. In a few lines of verse, Oscar Wilde conveys some extraordinarily deep (and troubling) insights that nearly every monger, nay every human, will readily recognize in themselves and in their own relationships, past and present.
The bottom line is that we can't control what others like, what they appreciate, what they "get," and anyone who tries has embarked upon a fools errand. You posts are honest, on-topic, respectful of others, and you clearly enjoy what you are doing. Those are the only attributes you need to post whatever the hell you want as far as I'm concerned.
You keep doing you and this rogue's gallery will be all the richer for it.
Cheers mate!
[QUOTE=JoshuaFalken;4949992]RoadWarrior, contrary to recent reporting, there are definitely mongers who enjoy your poem-infused reviews; me for starters.
I, for one, deeply appreciate the creativity you inject into your reports. I have no interest in a forum where reviews are delivered in sound bites or read like a date night checklist. I have never logged on and thought to myself, "Gee, I hope I'm not entertained right now". I don't want to read only what a bloke did. I want to read what he though, felt, and learned. I want to vicariously experience what he experienced, if only momentarily. And you know what brother? It's hard to beat the efficiency and efficacy of communicating in well written verse.

Cheers mate![/QUOTE]Thank you, Sir! I appreciate the encouragement. I've also noticed some others, BBC386 and Jmoedb for instance, have been writing with a little more flair. The posts are enjoyable to read and I appreciate their efforts. I was a little surprised that someone would get a burr in their knickers over rhyming words. It made me think of the quote by Abraham Lincoln. Fortunately, the forum has this nice ignore feature.
Unrelated. Good luck if you're trying to buy a printer for your computer.

[QUOTE=KingSmith82;4954663]Man I just had a great dream with Lele the Brazilian goddess and I always have a good time with her she is my favorite and always will be anyway she looked so damn good this morning and I will see her again when I get off so fellas don't treat her wrong bc she is one of the good ones.[/QUOTE]Out of your eleven posts total, five of those posts over the past two weeks are about Lele! Five of your other posts are brief statements or questions about a SW named Miranda and the remaining post is inquiring about a location on US1. I'm putting this in the category of things that make me go hmmmmm!
Just sent the IRS their quarterly stipend and realized that the words [B]the[/B] and [B]irs[/B] together spell [B]theirs[/B]. How true it is.

Just saying,
