              Fascinating. Is there a large age gap? My daughter thought about pursuing this with a guy a couple years ago, but she wanted to get out of sex work so that was a no-go.

              Do you enjoy the work, and is it considered “work” on both sides, as in no expectation of romantic intimacy?

                  That’s a great way to look at it. Are there any provisions for severance if there comes a time where that arrangement needs to be terminated?

                  I also want you to know that in no way am I judging what you do for work, to me it’s just work, but I know a lot of people would have different opinions.

              I don’t mean this in a demeaning way, but isn’t that just an escort + prostitution?

              You’re getting paid for company is one, getting paid for sex is two.

                  What you listed is what escorts do, minus the sex. Hence why I combined the two professions.

                  Do you have a partner? If so, how does your work influence your private life?

    Does it count if it’s a hope and not a fact? If so, then I’ll be looking forward to changing jobs. If I’m changing to another customer service job then I want something less fast paced, hopefully selling something I actually care about. But, ideally I’d love to get a job in the vfx industry again. I’ve been looking for years.

    If it’s a fact only, well, my birthday I guess? Which I’m also simultaneously not looking forward to.

    CT scans every 4 months… probably gonna get another nodule in my left lung nuked at some point. Hoping maybe the distended aorta that showed in my last scan takes me out quick so I can bypass all the misery of my advancing emphysema or the lung cancer possibly spreading. Aside from that, I’m just going to enjoy my family. Got three grandkids that are a real hoot right now. Counting my blessings is pretty much the priority…

    Part of my 2025 mental and physical health plan has been building and landscaping my little slice of land to go from an unfenced hillside of lawn to a walled and terraced garden.

    Removed the sod and got a dumptruck load of granite stones at the start of the year. I am building using a dry stone technique and moving it all by hand on purpose. Currently finishing the main terraces and wall base, beginning raised garden beds now. Every day I move a couple stones into place and it feels like an accomplishment that is quite literally building on itself.

    I look forward to seeing how it (continues to) come together.

      I did a similar project a few years ago with stones, old logs and repurposed rebar. It was sooo rewarding, especially after the plants matured.

    i’ll get a cash bonus once the probationary period is up at my new job, which i can use to knock like 10% off of the cost of my mortgage.

    a friend of mine is getting bottom surgery and i’m looking forward to it for them, it’s nice that people around me are happy.

    also, dunno if it’s something to look forward to exactly but if it turns out i do have hypertension and i can get on exforge i may not only be rid of my chronic headaches but also figure out if i actually have adhd, since amlodipine apparently lessens the symptoms. it would be nice to be able to do things.

    I’m just hoping to get through the next 6 months, and then the next 3 years, without the government harassing me or my family.
