Release Me, Set Me Free

By Daddy

Las Vegas, NV — Mostly done with the editors changes for "Escorting From A Clients Prospective." They've asked for photos of some of the locations. Finding photos from the 80s that are either covered by Creative Commons license or that I can get releases for is being a chore!

Three weeks until the Midterm Elections. I've been looking at the candidates and the measures on my sample ballot. One of the things I'm taking into account is the negative ads that I'm seeing. If you're spending more time smearing than talking about what you're all about, I'm really not interested. I'm not voting by party, I'll voting by the person. We need to strongly support the changes we need in our government, if the LGBTQ community is to retain the hard fought rights that we've achieved over the decades.

Thank-you for your donations! We will get a commission for October but it will be only a couple hundred dollars. My reserves are at the 25% level and will be dropping next week. The current projection is that I'll be $500 short for November. Hopefully the Flirt4free commissions will pick up in November. Any help is welcome.
