I get only VIP dances not floor dances because i don’t dig floor voyeurs and because I’m my area hands on boobies doesn’t happen on floor. VIP comes in packs of 3 for $100 to $120 where I’m at. I tip $20 for each 3 pack unless dances are terrible - and by terrible, I mean if hands on boobies are swiped away during songs 2-3 or if not enough dancing and too much talking, but that happens less than 20% of the time. If 1st 3 pack is good I keep going and add on more 3 packs. I expect many tuscl’ers will say that’s too much, but works for me, and I’ve found it helps develop CFs, which I like. Used to be more of a variety guy but now I’m a CF guy. Once a CF, it’s straight to VIP room and we bypass VIP dances. I have a feeling spicey and PSD would be CFs.

^Oops, didn't properly read OP's post saying it's a PI matter. As indicated, consult on a PI case will be free if the case is any good. If what you're instead looking for on the PI consult is to pick the attorney's brain re case value and strategy with you then seeking to settle it yourself so you don't have to pay the PI attorney's contingency fee, then likely a good PI attorney will charge hourly rate if accepts the appointment at all, and as indicated any flat fee (which would be unusual) being basically the hourly rate with a time limit.

All depends on the topic. Your post identifies a personal injury case on contingency fee basis. If the topic is PI, you'll get the consult free with the attorney hoping to get the case if it's any good. If the topic is anything else (business, real estate, criminal, divorce, etc.) you're gonna pay the hourly rate, with any flat fee that might be agreed to likely to in the hourly rate range with a time limit.

->blahblah: “Shit is really fucked up“ An excellent summary of 2020

Context is everything. With you having clarified you have history with the 9 and a lot of fun, me personally I'd give it another shot but walk for good if that happened again. It's so easy for her to have shot you a cancel text in advance of you arriving at restaurant. -@CJKent: "I don’t wait for doctors, lawyers, teachers, priest etc or even family members more than 15 minutes, without communication or explanation." Totally agree but am guessing you've walked out of a lot of doctor's offices then - doctors are notorious for keeping you waiting.

Great job PSD, thank you for taking the time, and a good read. And great job too Muddy, please keep em coming.

Only place I've experienced tip walk was at The American Bush in Salt Lake City. Understandable I suppose because sitting at rail is worthless there. Girls weren't aggressive, and just gave each one $2, no big deal, but it was mildly annoying though perhaps just because it was unique to me. Tip walk in San Diego clubs? Haven't experienced that at the San Diego TL clubs Pure Platinum (the one by the airport, now closed) or Pacer's. Maybe it just happens at San Diego's FN clubs, haven't been because no alcohol and FN is not a requirement for me.

Him being off this board for 6 months has been best thing about 2020

->skibum: "I was 192 - 148 winner" That's a big score. Must be a PPR league, unless of course your week 2 roster included Aaron Jones, Calvin Ridley, and one of the QBs that went off this week

FB, but haven't posted in years, occasionally view to see what's up with friends IG, but have never posted, same as FB just look to see what's up with people I know or see posts from users I follow LinkedIn - created a profile years ago, but have found its primary use is me being targeted with connection requests from users I have no intent on doing business with, and have never received any legit business lead from it, but perhaps that's because haven't tried to use a marketing tool. Why such little use? Privacy concerns

->Whodey: "I think most of us are aware we are going to Hell for this hobby. We just think fucking hot young women is worth the cost." Lines from Unforgiven: Little Bill Daggett (Gene Hackman): I'll see you in hell, William Munny. William Munny (Clint Eastwood): Yeah.

->Tetradon: "Neither side acting on principle." ->Papi: "w.r.t. Ginsberg's dying wish - a Justice doesn't get to pick who their successor is" ^This. Well, both of these.

One time was at a club shortly before Christmas and club was doing a fundraiser for local firefighters, allegedly donating a % of sales. Took a girl to VIP room and music piped into room (as compared to the regular music played on floor) was all upbeat Christmas songs (such as Jingle Bell Rock and Rockin Around the Christmas Tree). It was awful. Afterward went up to the manager (who I was acquainted with) and said dude don't do that anymore it's a total boner killer

Through middle school, was a prefer blondes guy. From high school forward have been a prefer brunettes guy, and from college forward have eyes for sexy AA. Always naturals, will never be a bolton guy.

Overrated: Hollywood Beverly Hills San Diego north county, north of Del Mar -beaches and activities are meh compared to mid county from Point Loma on southern end to Del Mar on northern end Dallas - not that it's highly rated, but it's hot, flat (no good biking), with soulless suburbs Yellowstone National Park - alright, it is worth a visit, and has cool stuff you won't see elsewhere (geyser basins and wildlife), but if you're in Montana and want to experience a more spectacular national park, hit Glacier Nat Park Maldives Islands Not Overrated: SF - great city IMO, get out of Market Street corridor and Union Square area, and good lord don't bother with Pier 39 and Chinatown tourist traps NOLA - as per JustinTolook, get away from French Quarter (other than a brief stroll if you insist on seeing it)

^You think IceyMoron is a clackport alias? Don't know him personally but clackport is a solid contributor and would surprise me if he wasted his time being Icey

^please stay. And hit Calif

I perceive the "You been here before" question is lazy or uninspired marketing gab to break the ice, but I don't get uptight about it. When I was still a little bitch (Subraman term, from his advice article - https://tuscl.net/article/49689/), I probably lied but that was a long while ago so don't really remember. Like most of you, I just respond with truth. Seems though that when the honest answer is something like "Ya, and I like this place" or "Ya, and I've had a lot of fun here" it results in less SS and sometimes increased mileage

^*8.5 down to 6

^Amazing the positive effect club lighting can have on looks. I clubbed shortly pre-Covid and this late-30s gal looked hot on stage then we went and sat away from stage in better lit area, and she correspondingly dropped from 8.6 down to 6

^It appears you have covered all the sociological factors in typical Papi detail

^I would too if I were dancer and had to be dealing with PLs while in my late-30s+. Must be mentally and emotionally exhausting, balanced against the cash $$ flow

^Probably true

The electoral college works fine. Yes, it causes some states to be over-represented or under-represented disproportionate to population, and there is the theoretical problem of unfaithful electors that has not had any practical impact on outcome though it could. But the system causes the candidates to campaign more nationally than would be the case if presidential election were based on simple majority and thus disenfranchise regions whose voices should be heard through election process but wouldn't be via simple majority - I'd rather have a parliamentary system than that. The 1% contention is inaccurate. Yes the actual electors sent may be mostly in the 1% as a donor spiff, but ballots cast by the electors are consistent with the election results under the electoral system. Yay electoral college, hope it never changes.
