My most out standing hook up took place in a police car. I work closely with the police and while riding in a cop car I made a date with a provider. The cop and I were laughing as I set the date his only question was it's not in my city is it. The cop and I worked together a month later and he asked how the date worked out.

I just feel it good business to communicate (as I am able) using whatever method my client may desire. However, I must say, IMHO, if you're standing next to LE or working that closely with law enforcement / the judiciary often enough that it would be of issue to you, and you are texting a client (or potential client) from / within that setting, I can imagine quite a few things that would be, well, an issue (or at least create a reservation) for a client (or potential client).I do use separate phones, I would not be that stupid as to use the same phone. Also I would not be stupid enough to text stupid things while around these people, that's why my phone is on silent and I text them when I get a few minutes "alone".

Sabra, I apologize, I misread your posting and upon realizing the miscommunication (which was completely my fault - again, mea culpa) I subsequently deleted my posting which you have quoted above. I apologize for any misunderstanding which I may have inadvertently caused. I didn't realize, however, that you were so involved with law enforcement there in Nebraska in another capacity, through your affiliation with a non-profit. Again, my apologies.Jackie,
Have a great day!

Very well, Sabra, thanks so much for understanding!I don't see the LE very often only if they are called. I see probation and parole officers a lot. Judges only when I go to court for my clients or with them. Not hobbyist clients. I have a construction biz so court can be often.
I am curious though, and I know it is slightly off topic, but how much work do you transact with law enforcement in Nebraska? Is this something you would care to share more about?? As you said you work with a non-profit, maybe this is something where others can help out?
I'm very interested!
Kisses,

Oh, I see . . . but you mentioned a non-profit (other than your construction business), aren't you afraid that your affiliation with this "hobby" might endanger your position with the non-profit, or jeopardize the reputation of the non-profit all together, if it (the connection between the two) were to be found out? Also, does your affiliation with law enforcement in this manner you describe, does it impact your business here, within this endeavor? I mean, you mentioned it initially as though you felt the community should know . . . I formed the impression that you mentioned that you were around LE (working with them from time to time with or for the non-profit) only because you would be around them enough that it could / would impact your communication (as you described). If it isn't that often (your contact with LE), I'm curious, then why mention it at all?I make sure as to not show any face pics to try and protect myself from being known. Yes my doing this could jeopardize my other life, that is why I do a lot of screening.

Thanks for sharing, and again, my apologies for any misunderstanding.
I mentioned what I mentioned because I opened my mouth before using my brain. lol
I am not around them because I choose to be, I would rather never see any of them.
Shit happens and I have to be.
If they did find out about this I would have to pay the consequences, and relinquish the non profit over to the board of directors. My construction biz, well if they found out I would probably have a lot more clients..lol Originally Posted by Sabrababy

"I don't know for certain, but I get the feeling that on some (prepaid?) phone services when the money runs out they can no longer make phone calls, but I suspect, they can still send and receive text messages.
If someone knows differently, please share. I've wondered for a few years because I've run into this constant texting thing a lot with budget providers." Originally Posted by Osolomio
