Abigaile...TOTAL waste of time
I had seen Abigailes' adds several times in the past, but could never seem to catch her when she was in town; at least not until two weeks ago. We spoke on the phone and scheduled an appointment for Saturday evening at 630PM. I live out of town and drove two hours to get to there on time.
Upon my arrival in Memphis I called Abigaile to let her know I was in town and to get directions. She stated that she had her daughter with her and could we postpone our date until 800PM. I agreed and spent the next hour + driving around Memphis wasting my time and gas.
I called her at 8PM and she said that her daughter was in the bath and could we get together at 830PM. Again, I said that I understood and agreed.
At 825PM I noticed that she had tried to call me. I returned the call, thinking that she must have taken her daughter back to the father early. When she answered my call, she immediately sounded irritated and combative over the phone. She stating that she had called me several times and because I hadn't answered she had made other plans.
I started to explain, but she hung up the phone and refused to take my calls. At this point I figured that there had to be a good reason for her actions and that we must have had some type of miscommunication. Shit happens sometimes.
I had read several really nice reviews on Abigaile and decided that last week must be one of those isolated incidents. "Shit happens" find of things.
This past week I called and asked if she might be available on Saturday (June 5). She stated that she didn't know if she would be in town or not, but would let me know. I never heard from her, and therefore assumed that she had left town.
Imagine my excitement Sunday, when I saw that Abigaile had posted that she would be available Monday. Additionally, she was running a special. I called immediately and scheduled an appointment for Monday at 7PM.
She asked me to call her at 630PM and she would give me her location. I called at 630PM, and at 635, 640, 645, 650. No one answered and no voice mail available. At 658PM Abigaile called me. She said that she had just realized that she was leaving town and would not get to see her daughter for a week. She wanted to cancel our appointment.
I told her that I had just driven 2 hours to make our appointment, and that I was very disappointed. By this time she was starting to get spun-up again and stated that we could still have the appointment later. I agreed to postpone our date for several hours and mentioned that I had seen her add on this website. She immediately went into a tailspin. Exclaiming that add and the special rates were not for first time clients.
I was a little surprised and replied that her add had not indicated that. At this point I really didn't care about a discount, I just wanted to decide on a time and place to meet. Yet again, before I could offer a suggestion and enter into any discussion, Abigaile hung up on me. Yet again, she refused to answer my calls.
Yes, Abigaile has several good reviews. Unfortunately this isn't one of them. I wish it was.
Based on my TWO experiences with Abigaile. I can NOT recommend that anyone attempt a date/appointment with her....That is unless you have lots of time, money and patience to waste.

I've got a Bridge to sell you
As Licker has noted in the pass. Yes we are all entitled to our own opinions and for each person their opinion is valid. For them
Like many, I too lick expensive things, but if I were to find out that the car rental company charged me 250 for the same car that others were paying 50 for. I would be pissed.
Also, if someone sold me a $10, 000. 00 Rolex and later I found out it was a $20 knockoff form Mexico, I would also be pissed.
My concerns with Electeng posts are that they all were made within the last few days (less than two weeks) and that they were refering to someone's experience. Almost like a commentary on someone else experience.
That type of posting brings questions to my mind. We are were new members to these boards at one time. Many of our posts from the being shared orginal and informative details right away. Those are the types of post that I look for when trying to determine how much weight I will give to someones post.
Just another opinion.

Forum Newbies Being Sensitive
[QUOTE=Southernceo]I think, once again, we have Senior Members over estimating their value at the expense of Lowly Members. [...]
I haven't counted my posts. I haven't counted how many girls I've posted about. But I'd bet I've seen more girls and paid more money than ALOT of our self-aggrandizing Senior Members. Just because I've been at it a long time.
So, here it is: this can be simple. See a girl. Post your experience. Ask questions. Help your brothers out.
But keep your bullsh*t to yourself; you're the only one interested in it.

With all due respect (and I do respect you, SCEO, as I note below), all the experience in the world is of absolutely no value on this forum unless you've posted about it. The way people get respected around here is not by sheer number of posts (heaven knows there are some worthless assholes on this forum with a boatload of posts) but by posting information that turns out to be reliable (based on others' shared experiences).
I don't pretend to speak for other Senior Members around here. But personally, if most all of your posts are competent reviews of a provider, or confirmations of/disagreements with another review based on your own experiences, I'm going to listen to and respect you even if you have only five posts.
I think the problem folks had with the poster you mentioned is that none of his posts were reflections of his own experiences. Now, I haven't gone back to review the posts so I don't know if that's true. It IS, however, a valid point.
I also, FWIW, agree with the safety issue -- if you have only a few posts and you aren't posting about your own experiences you certainly might be Uncle Leo. And he doesn't get a whole lot of respect -- at least on this forum.
