Unfortunately, it appears that our Chinese product addiction is ramping up again. Some US manufacturers of masks are closing because they can't compete with the cheap product China is dumping on us.

I read an article yesterday regarding the new 3 child policy in China. Most feedback from the Chinese public was that the average Chinese family can't afford to have 3 children. I guess they never really took to the 2 child policy after it was allowed.

Kind of agree with you George. It's always been about the individual rather than where she fits demographically. I do have my general preferences, which have changed some over the years. However, sometimes I find a diamond in the rough if I keep an open mind. If you went to clubs in Covid times, an open mind was key to having fun.

If she wanted you to have her number then you have nothing to lose by using it fairly soon. That being said, I've had dancers want to give me their numbers and nothing came from it. But, nothing ventured, nothing gained. You have nothing to lose by using it at this point.
The other thing that comes to mind is that sometimes the chase is better than catching. Don't know the specific dynamics you have with her but that is something to consider. Do you really want more that what you have in the club.

Almost every time I walk in to Bourbon Street I run into a chair on my way to my seat.

I'm hardly young and certainly had some great times in the past. However, I am more successful with women, paid or not, than I have ever been in my life right now. Maybe it's because I'm finally old enough to not give a fuck and maybe not. Bottom line, I enjoy my life today.

I have a hard time picking one but my favorite at a country bar with a jukebox is Rolling Stones "Far away eyes"

I failed on last week entering a hospital. However, they must have known the main device was having issues as they immediately scanned me with a backup device. I passed at my normal temperature of about 97.5. The rare times I've had I high temperature, I know it without taking my temperature.

Went for dinner and visited 2 casinos. Apparently, masks are now optional. Saw probably 70% of the patrons walking around without masks. Kinda caught me by surprise.

By accident, I drove past the Spearmint Rhino today. Parking lot was empty and while waiting for the light, the marquee said it is only open Thursday through Sunday. Seems some are taking the slow approach to opening. Maybe it will be different in a couple of months.

Maybe I'm missing something on this but it seems to me the OP is a dancer that was sharing the response she got for ordering a water. At least I think the red symbol indicates a woman? I've known a lot of dancers that don't drink so, like others have said, if you offer a drink, you should get her whatever she wants.
As far as a food item, it's not the price but it's the social meaning of a "drink". If a dancer I liked wanted food because she wanted to take an edge off her prior drinking, I say no problem. Also, if I am ordering food and she wants some then I have no problem either. It just seems like someone is pushing the limits of hospitality to go outside what is offered.

I've been to Vegas recently and returning soon. I don't go to strip clubs in Vegas because I would rather save my time and money for places that have better clubs. In general, Vegas is a little different than I have seen over the years. It's always a little rough around the edges but it seems even more so now. Keep an eye on your six and be smart if you go.
A couple of weeks ago, the crowds had increased a lot than when I was there late last year. Seems that maybe people had those stimulus checks burning a hole in their pockets.

I've only been to BA during the day and it's not really back to pre-pandemic form with the number of girls working during the day.
That being said, I enjoy Diamond Dolls in Pinellas on day shifts. Usually out of there by 8pm or so. There was a customer catfight recently that turned into a shootout in the parking lot but I guess that kind of stuff could happen anywhere.

Regardless of the "proof or no proof" of election fraud, the seat of the pants mail-in voting rules that we used left the last election wide open for potential fraud. This can't happen again, covid or not.
Whether those that believe that there was fraud where tinfoil hats or not doesn't matter. There is a large portion of the population that felt that the last election was not on the up and up. That alone is a harm to our republic.

The former Mayor of San Diego is running. He was fairly popular in SD but I don't think he has a statewide reputation.
Elections in California are a popularity contest with anyone with a (D) next to their name will almost always win. People in this state fall for the "free stuff" lines spouted out by the D. It doesn't matter that enough people have left the state to cause CA to lose a house seat for the first time in history. Rich people are already voting with their feet.
I'm not a fan of Jenner but I would choose him to break up the monopoly that the D's have over the state. So much so that they have enough of a majority to avoid any 2/3 votes. The state probably has over 80% D control right now.

One of my favorites in the Tampa area but I'm usually out the door by 8pm. Not in a terrible area but it is a heavy commercial area like everything along US19. The hood of St. Pete isn't too far away.

^"Saul" is an attorney at law that runs tv commercials in some cities. I have seen one but don't remember where since I wake up in different cities and don't remember where I'm at sometimes (even without drinking before just a flurry of traveling).

Living in California, I saw gas ranging from $4.49 for regular to $4.89 for premium. It's a good thing we got all that oil production shut down.

I don't eat fast food burgers often but I have to agree that Habit is the best I've had from a chain. There are some local burger joints that are better but Habit is good and you can get a great shake or malt that complements the burger.
As far as inflation, even Warren Buffet says it's here. In the city I live in, the minimum wage was raised to $15 and restaurants put signs up that they are adding a 4% tax to your bill. I just saw the sign a couple hours ago at my favorite watering hole.

^That flight attendant must have worked for Delta and spent enough time in Utah to know what it's like.
It has tamed down on the "membership" rules in the last few years but they still have some other rules about drinking. You and not get a double shot but you can get an extra half ounce in your drink under certain circumstances. Usually, that involves ordering food. Within the last year, they allowed regular domestic macro beer to be sold as full strength rather than 3.2. That 3.2 beer would get you full before you came close to catching a buzz.

Scrub is always singing the praises of Utah clubs. I went over 10 years ago and it was as terrible as Scrub describes it. It was membership and pasties, very large ones, at the time. Haven't bothered to try after that. Saw a bumper stick one that read, "Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow you may be in Utah".

45 years later and the same shit is happening and makes this still relevant.
