Help! Does anyone know an accountant comfortable with a small business owner such as myself? Sadly, my friend/client/accountant died last year. I need a new accountant. I'm not unfamiliar with taxes, but I've never done my business taxes or filing and all the sudden I am in the dark on what steps I need to take to maintain my business correctly.

I have a Kia Niro Hybrid and love it - even though I've had an unusual amount of recalls lol I bought it so I could make trips like SF>LA without stopping - helps to have a urine receptacle. Especially with California gas prices this has been a great investment. This is my 3rd KIA. The resale value on them remain so high I always owe less than its worth which makes for easier trade-in. But I've enjoyed my current hybrid so much I plan to own this car outright before I consider selling it.

What a dick! I think you did the right thing. Personally I would have called him out for it and told him I regretted my interactions with him. Many people get to go through life being actively racist without confrontation. Many people wouldn't change if it did result in a confrontation. But it's always a possibility that something can get through to people. We aren't born racist we are taught it - and we can unlearn it.

There is no telling if this guy is who he shows himself to be, if he lives wherever he was when he found you, and if he is willing to follow through on his threats. It's not necessarily a safe assumption, but this person it probably not "psychotic". He is either working for a larger operation that scams people or is working independently. Chances are he is doing this to more than one person at a time. Larger operations like this don't follow through on their threats - they will disappear and move on. Independent criminals on this level are also not likely to follow through because they are creating their own paper trail for their activities. The police are an option, but if he is using a burner number and fake photos there isn't anything they can do. Find out what you can first... 1. Determine his location. If you don't still see him on Sniffies, start a new Sniffies - use different (or less) stats and photos you haven't used/he won't recognize you in - and see if he is still around that area. If so, there is a great chance he lives near there and is working independently. On Sniffies you can modify the accuracy of your location to a large extent, so take note of the street names and zip codes in that area. 2. Save all your conversations and the photos he has sent you for reference. See if the same person is in each photo. Hopefully he gave you a face pic. Reverse image search his photos to see what comes up. 3. Use his phone number to find him (facebook, linkedin, etc. and paid services). If more than two of these produce results, cross reference this information to see what you can come up with. The more you know about him, the more leverage you have. What you do with that leverage is up to you. With enough info you can threaten the police on them, actually send the police after them, or catfish the shit out of him to make him feel the way he's made you feel.

I answered an ad on Craigslist looking to exchange money for doing something explicit. It really got me off and he became a regular.

Craigslist Ads from clients is how I got into this work - RIP Craigslist I miss you! Clients, I very much appreciate when your RM profile tells me exactly what you are looking for. Stats are not necessary but they help. You can change your text anytime and be specific about when/where you are looking for something. So many of my clients and regulars began with me sending them a message first. When I heard about Doublelist I was hoping the same thing could happen there, but apparently the police heavily for services or donations offered. Can't use words like "generous" but gentleman isn't flagged. Doesn't leave much room for us. Does anyone have experience with this on Doublelist?

I enjoy having sex with bottoms, obese people, and people in their 70s 80s 90s. But when people of these variety approach me on hookup apps, I'm less inclined to accept their advances. It's not because I would only do it for work - it's because I do it for work so often. I look for younger tops in my personal life because I sleep with mostly older bottoms in my professional life. If it were the opposite on one side, it would be the opposite on the other. Unfortunately, in some cities this can work against me. When I (politely) reject people in the personal (hookup app) realm, it can deter them from hiring me in the professional realm. I'm the type of guy who says "thank you" when someone woofs at me and "no thank you" when they hit me up. I understand where this could lead them to thinking I'm just feigning interest as a provider just for money, but there isn't much I can do about it. I could simply ignore their messages and advances but I find that difficult.

I've never understood them, but I'm thankful for providers that do not kiss or give oral because they make me more popular. If they say they are into kissing and then don't, THAT is unforgiveable.

My most precious advice: be proactive about finding clients. Put your ad up, keep an eye at who is looking at you (and how often they do), and send messages to clients who have enough information in their profiles to work with - stats, descriptions, mutual "intos", and reviews. If a client has reviewed users like yourself, your chances are communication are already higher. So many of my regular and long term clients began with me reaching out first. We should appreciate those that are willing to put themselves out there, and they will appreciate you back.

Its more common than you may think - but for one hour? I say heck no don't do it! There is no simple yes or no answer to the question of deposits. Everyone is different and there are enough clients who are comfortable with this for escorts to continue doing it. Trans, femme, and female providers are more accustomed to down payments for very good reason - cis-male providers may have less reason, but that does not mean they have no reason. Before Covid I was more likely to require a deposit for dates, overnights, weekends, trips from people I could not verify. When clients do not share any information, use a fake name, and have nothing to show for their hiring - longstanding profiles, reviews left, references from colleagues, etc. - it can be a big risk for a provider to block out that time, reject inquiries for anything in that time frame, and budget with those earnings in mind. Since the pandemic, people are clutching their purses close and far less likely to go for this. So I've relaxed on this almost entirely. I'm not going to shoot myself in the foot over this, but on several occasions I have lost BIG TIME on cancelled occasions. This is a very difficult scenario for us to account for. Some escorts (for multi-day trips) require half up front and half upon completion. If a client cancels with good reason, they'll likely roll this amount over until the hopefully rescheduled encounter. This works well for them I think this is very reasonable considering the preparation it takes for multi-day trips and the money that will be earned from them.

Oh you are NOT wrong - having given people specific, correct, step by step advice, I've still had people tell me they tried spraying it into their dick. I honestly believe the fear of damaging our penis can lead us to irrational behavior - like going to the hospital and thinking they know what they are doing lol Oral Sudafed can help but to a lesser degree. When worried about their boner not going down, people will take Sudafed and wait an hour or more hoping it will work - by that time it is hard to tell if its the Sudafed is doing it or just the medicine wearing off. Doctors are also able to prescribe straight up phenylephrine, but like many other things, many doctors just don't know about this and will tell you they cannot. If you are going to use nasal spray use a fresh bottle - preferably every time, but if you want to use it more than once do NOT put it in your nose, before use wipe the tip with an alcohol swab just the same as your would the trimix bottle, spray it into the needle cap to pull the liquid from, and keep it in a plastic bag if you are traveling with it to prevent any sort of contamination. When purchasing these boner drugs, they will often provide you with an antidote - but only ONE dosage. It would make more sense if they gave you an entire bottle, but knowing men that would probably only encourage misuse of the drug.

Oh no! I don't know where that is, what the correct link is, or how to fix it. Can someone help me with this? Also, on topic, Does anyone have recommendations for escorts to hire in DC? Someone who likes to top and knows massage would be preferable...

Afrin also has Phenylephrine Hydrochloride - just have to buy there right variety. I'm sure other nasal sprays with the same active ingredient could work.

Trimix has become more prevalent because its become easier to find. Revformen.com will hook you up fast with one dose of antidote just in case. I like to do it for porn because it takes ALL of the edge off and makes for a better time. As I get older, boners aren't as easy to get or keep, pills don't work as well but the side effects maintain, so sometimes I need it (or simply want) to give someone some good long hard deep dicking for a long time. It's also easier on the body and heart because its localized. Doesn't mess with your blood or ocular pressure, has no pesky side effects, and leaves the use of poppers on the table. Pro tip: Afrin is the antidote - the simple phenylephrine variety. Use a fresh bottle and needle (squeeze it into the cap and pull it from there - don't stick it in the bottle) and inject 10 units and it will take that sucker down fast. Going to a hospital will likely result in an awful experience where they don't know what to do, give you drugs that won't work, eventually try to bleed it out, and give you a bill for their ignorance.

Absolutely. Sometimes when incredibly attracted to someone and decide it would be better to hire them than to pursue them personally - especially if I only know them through RM or seeing their porn. I've only done this a handful of times but they were all very worthwhile experiences.
