Anybody can be a cracker. I’m just sick to death of the fake Southern gentlemen shtick. That’s what “Colonels” do.
Oh! THAT’s what you meant. Humph, who knew?
In case you missed the amount of times I said I think negating is a reasonable thing:
Quotes by Olivia from the Damnit thread.
1 - Negoiate for what? A better rate for more time, more patronage or grandfathering? If it's not one of these, what's being negotiated? Seriously.
2 - I have different rates. Did you read my post or were your seeking brevity? I said I personally have an Off the Clock options for $1,000, and I have agreements for grandfathering, extended engagements and patronage. I have no problem with good faith negotiation, but you do not negotiate in good faith.
This one was in my first post on that now defunct thread:
3 - I’m not saying that negotiation per say is bad. I had an Off the Clock option that rendered this type of, in your case I’ll use, “parlay” unnecessary. And there is always plenty of room to reach an understanding for extended or travel engagements, patronage and grandfathering. However, unless you are a blow and go client, which we all know you definitely are not, I do not feel there is room to negotiate with your scenario. Which brings us to talking point number two.
4 - No, it isn't. How about this................If you're not an long term client wanting to be grandfathered, you aren't going on an extended trip together or you aren't a regular client wanting an ongoing arrangement, you don't ask for a discount. This discount you speak of is based on what? Her absolute, ever lovin' desire to see YOU! (Not you specifically of course.) Why, because you just don't want to pay that price; you're so wonderful because you're, well, YOU, and you just know she'll luv, luv YOU. Is that how guys handle ALL their purchases? Does it work well at the grocery store?

Like in the case of grandfathering, patronage, extended engagement, etc. If some asshole just low balls women in their time of need, then he’s a bottom feeding, trick-ass motherfucker. Clear?
Apparently I need to be focused and have a bombastic delivery style because so many here are so busy showing how genteel they are and being Colonels they can’t fucking read what is written. Either that or they can’t hear it and thereby understand it above the roar of outrage in their own fucking heads because some uppity whore is calling them on their bullshit.
Do you really not know the story? Search can be your friend my friend.[/QUOTE]
Forgive me, Olivia. My attention deficit is showing. No, I don't know the full story. And honestly will never use search. There's more fun to be had than searching eccie
Parlay.. I prefer that term lol. Yes, there's a line between negotiation and low life. It's different for us all but in most cases it exists. Thats the purpose if this thread, correct? To understand that fine line?
I always found the application if sufficient alcohol could bring the worst if enemies to the table. As a bar owner and retired provider you are in a unique position
NOTE: I am NOT asking for free drinks lol!
So I'd love to hear specific stories. I've been out of this for so long I probably am far behind the times. There are only two encounters, some 8 years ago, I regret not paying/more to the woman. There are many more I regret paying too much.
Cracker colonels rock! Lol
