Happy Things Discovered in the Hobby

I had a really good trip to Syracuse this time. A couple of fallen-through appointments, and a fair amount of sitting around and waiting for not long enough to accomplish anything (my phone Sudoku app is great for this), but overall a pretty good time that I'm glad to have had.

And I was reminded of one of my favorite parts of doing this: The fact that I get to eat at more restaurants than just the local ones.

It wasn't something I'd thought of initially, of course. But it's become one of the things I most look forward to. Whether it's enjoying the local breweries or the Beers of the World in Rochester (before I went gluten-free), or just enjoying a local dive... going to see a girl or going to schedule some clients, I enjoy some damn good food.

(Today was the Turning Stone buffet. OM-NOM-NOM.)



I figure it's the same for everyone--passing outside of your "normal" comfort zones and boundaries leads to a lot of new experiences and fun things you'd have never expected. We all expect to blow our load... but how many expect to get into a funny conversation about that video game we grew up with and didn't realize anyone else knew, or see a park with fresh-planted roses in an area of town we don't usually see, or ... any of it?

This is a thread to explore those happy accidents. Let us know, and remind us to look for the happy moments in our own experiences.


(I know a lot of you started hobbying a long time ago, and there's nothing much new left. By all means, old stories are just as fun as new ones! Maybe even moreso, because it involves stepping into an entirely different setting. I wanna hear it all.)


Look forward to hearing from you!

I like this, a positive thread.

As a man, even if it's a bad date the relief is always happy, but that's not much of a revelation to anyone.

I did think of some sarcastic negative ones, lol, I'm glad you specified Happy Things, otherwise this thread would degenerate in no time.

I'm not a hobbyist but if I was a guy I think I would be lol jk.. Maybe not.. But meeting the faces behind the avatars and getting the chance to actually meet awesome people is the best part I love making people laugh and it's so much fun to hang out.

I am here to spread the word of taint.

Taking a list of providers dancing. It was awesome the few times a member of the band knew her. Then started missing the beat, when normally he keeps a good beat. ♫

As an older seasoned gent, I enjoy the adventure & suspense of meeting someone new, from the first call or e-mail to getting the final directions. Then seeing who is really behind the door. I enjoy the convo and hey we all have lives outside the hobby( or we should ). I have heard some good and bad stories. I have heard what a gals short and long term goals are in life but I have never had one tell me that she is looking for love or a hubby in the hobby world, ha ha. When you come right down to it I guess that it is The Thrill of Victory or the Agony of Defeat that makes this fun.

Great post Lucyny!!

happy mmmmm na, funny as hell

So as I got laid off of work, and a provider needed a ride to work a bar she made a offer to pay me for rides. I was doing this for another also at the time. Done for the night she says can we go now. I say want to stop at a local greasy spoon for a snack. She agrees then other provider asked her where we doing anything later, I say nope just home. Then that other one asked if she could crash for the night on my boat as her SO was being a bitch boy. She would walk home in the morning after cleaning my boat for payment. So the 3 of us go to Steve T's that was still a Nick's at the time for a snack.

When we get to T's we run into another provider we all knew well out with other providers we did not know well. She has us set next booth in a way I had a seat to myself so all the girls could talk.

Ok the bar we came from a guy shows up and orders. Then comes over and demands the one he did not like sit next to me. It was the one that was going to sleep on my boat for the night. So he could talk to the the other two. So now its 5 that know each other well Plus 3. 6 providers and two johns. He starts to tell 2 them that he needs to be always first. And that goes also for that OSD jack ass the most. And if had time with OSD before going to the bar they must tell them so as to x them off his list for the night

4 of us go the 3 that was with one of he want to talk to say. Dude fuck off.

So he says to the two he wanted to talk to if they would go to Marks on Monroe to talk. One says nope OSD taking me home. The other says nope I'm taking the other gals home.

Some one that worked there kicks him out and tells him to go to Mark's if he wants but never come here again. priceless

ok it was happy for me
I reviewed one of the ones I did not know at that time on ASPD. She was good but not my cup of tea.

Probably by far most happiest thing in this hobby for me was a young lady I met in this hobby years ago. She was so innocent and nice and really just wanted to get ahead in life. She made some bad choices in her life and ended up providing just to get ahead. Having seen her many times, sometimes after the sex was done we would lay there and talk for hours....i would mostly listen to her ambitions in life. Ya I know.....fuck and leave but as an "old school" guy sometimes it's hard to do lol but anyways after seeing her regularly for a long time one day she decided to retire from the hobby and move on. Fast forward maybe 3 years now, i was a a meeting in my business world at a "high end" hotel one night. Well afterwards we all do what men do and go to the bar for some cheer and a few laughs. After several cocktails i go down the hall to the restroom and was met by this lovely woman which greeted me with a hello. I stopped to chat realizing i have seen her somewhere before, hmmmm she introduced herself with a remember me whisper in my ear lol. She was the hotel manager lol she was getting finished with her work and promised to meet me at the bar in a hour for drinks. Long story short we hooked up for a drink and went out on the town for some more and talked and talked.....no i didn't end up with her in my room, she was newly married and loving life living her little dream. I know this may sound dumb to many of you here but I left town that week with a happy feeling about me that i could never tell anyone lol but you guys and gals here.

And thanks for making me remember a few. in hope a few more.

We all see lots in this hobby but most of us are human lol. Good to see some get ahead in life.
A side bar to that story i should say is that I travel to where she works often and we still make time to catch up with life etc. Probably the funniest thing is one night not long ago over a couple drinks I asked her if she was still into having a romp with me afterwards (I know i'm a pig lol) her response was no hun i'm a married woman now, I just about died with laughter lol .....good times!

For me one is higher on the food chain where I work.
Thank Tebow not my Boss or is that

Great story Highwayman. It's nice when you know you're helping a girl get ahead. That's another happy thing in the hobby.
