Camry's are great! They last forever!

Yes, but they are as dull as ditchwater (I think). And about as exciting. I know reliability is important - but I'd pick a Honda over its Toyota equivalent.

Toyotas remind me of they lawyer in Rat Race - they have had every vestige of personality engineered out to support statistical market research. It obviously works, they sell a lot of cars and make a lot of money, but just not for me.

The new Toyota's are a more snazzy looking, I will admit. Unfortunately, its a style of snazz I don't care for. And for personal reasons, Toyota are never getting a penny of my money.

Sorry Walt, this wasn't meant to a rant against your choice of car. It was definitely a rant against Toyota. My experience with them still rankles.

Honda's are nice, too. But my 2005 Honda and my 2016 Camry look amazingly alike. Well over 50% of cars, to me, look like everything else. I"ve mentioned before that, up until around the 1970's, cars were different and it was easy to tell. Then, I remember a Ford commercial. "Our new Ford Foxtrak" looks just like a Mercedes." Now, why the hell would you want to make a car that looked like someone else's. Yes, I understand the thinking, "Gee, my car looks just like that Mercedes over there." But I personally would like my car to be unique. I'd like people to say, "Gee, look at that cool Chevy," than "Gee, that's a weird car. I wonder what it is?"

We all like different cars, for different reasons. You pretty much couldn't give me a Ford, lol. I grew up a Chevy lover, but have owned mostly Pontiacs. I didn't really start with foreign cars until I got my mother's 1998 Camry. I even had a 2008 Impala which was quite reliable. Too bad I had to rear-end that guy, lol.

Hi, guys,

Vicky needs some help cleaning up issues. This was meant primarily to try and fix the voting problem, but will most likely help with most cam room issues.

When anyone complains about an issue like a voting error, please write down the members name, the Time and the IP address. After the show, please send it to Vicky.

Vicky is specifically looking for Voting problems here.

[WalterB]

Morning, gents. I would like to ask you guys to push voting a little more. My thinking is that you should mention it at least 3 times during a show. And 4 is better. Why?

Every time I mention voting, there occurs a spate of votes - 3 or 4 or 5 or whatever. People forget to vote. Usually less than half of the attendees will vote. (Yes, I have access to the statistics.) So that reminder does help. Remember, you are helping the models make money.

Had a bunghole in Sara's show. Name of Michael. I should have collected his IP as soon as he started making snotty comments, but didn't. He was having cam problems and kept bitching about the cam room. I asked him if he had done his maintenance and got no reply. I directed everyone to the forum and the cam subject.

Right at the end of the show, he said, "Y'all suck" and real quick logged out. I saw the post and quick looked at the members list but he was already gone. Looks like he's done that before.

So we have to be careful. We can't ban anyone because of their screen name. So if you encounter a member named Michael, first copy his IP. Then watch him closely. If he starts complaining, try to help him. If he doesn't respond but keeps complaining, mute him.

Well, it's that time again. My son is heading out for a couple of endurance runs. He'll be gone for 10 - 11 days, from tomorrow to June 7th. I should be able to cover my shows, except for tomorrow and Monday the 7th.

Wed. 6/26
Payton Hall - 1 P.M. EDT.
Gabby Quinteros - 3 P.M. EDT
Penny's Place - 5 P.M. Admin DrDave.

[stickyvicky]

Your son sure is lucky that he has a Built-in free dogsitter!

Safe travels Walt don't worry too much about us! We'll survive! (just barely though...lol...)

Have a safe trip, Walt !

[WalterB]

Thank you, Vicky and Liz. I don't think I've talked about the difficulties we had back when he was a Teener. Long story. But when I got divorced and she took him to Detroit (he was 2,) someone told me "Never give up writing him. Don't worry about not hearing back. He will receive your letters and your gifts and he will know you care."

Well, I did so and I'm sure it helped. Once he joined the Marines, he started writing just before he went to Japan. Over the years we wrote maybe every 3 or 4 months. He got out of the service in 2008, right when the economy went to hell. He had trouble finding work, so there came a time when he needed to borrow some money to pay some bills.

Well, he kept working at it, over several years, and I helped him when he asked. He finally got a somewhat decent job, and then finally got his current job with the Border Patrol, where he makes good money and loves the job.

I guess his life with his mom was ok, but not great. He was basically ready to leave when he graduated, lol. I've never bad-mouthed her, but I've always felt I would have been the better parent, (maybe we all think that, haha.) I'm so lucky to have him and to now have such a great relationship.

And I'm lucky his home is only 5 hours away, lol.

Sorry, I can't make Lelu's show tomorrow morning (11 EDT.) If George or Carl want to jump in and cover, please do.

[WalterB]

I'm heading to Arizona tomorrow for the weekend, so I'll miss Kimber and Penny tomorrow. If either George or Carl would like to step in, please do.

[WalterB]

Never mind on Kimber. She just moved to Thursday. I'll be in place by then.

[WalterB]

Well, I guess this is for George and Carl. I'm at my son's at the moment. He'll be home over the weekend and I don't want to sit here watching porn while he's home. Oh, he knows all about the VNA. I've been trying for years to get him to come to a convention. No luck yet. But I want to spend the time with him, So if either of you can step up and cover some of my shows, I'm sure the ladies will like and appreciate that.

Saturday is Lelu at 11, Penny at 2 P.M.

Sunday is Hot Wife Rio at 1, Samantha38G at 2 and Monica at 5, all times Eastern and P.M.

If you can cover, please let me know so I can keep my schedule current. Thanks.

[WalterB]

I'm heading back to Arizona tomorrow, so I'll be off line most of the day. If George or Carl can jump in, please do so. Thanks

Payton Hall: 1 P.M. Eastern

Penny Pax: 5 P.M. Eastern

[stickyvicky]

I think Payton canceled?

[WalterB]

She canceled after I posted this. I posted last night, then received the cancel notice this morning at 6 AM. I then posted in the "Last Minute Changes" topic.

Is this a "gotcha?" That'll teach you to beat me at Fantasy Football,

[stickyvicky]

No not at all, Just meant now you'll only be missing one show And thats if penny doesn't cancel also....

She has been majorly depressed since she had had to put her dog down.

[WalterB]

Yeah, I read that about Penny. Hope she gets thru that quickly.

[WalterB]

I won't be able to cover my Wednesday's shows, as I'll be on the road traveling. Would appreciate it if either George or Carl could pick up some. If you do, please let me know here. Thanks.

1 P.M. Payton Hall
4 P.M. Kimber Lee
5 P.M. Penny Pax

[WalterB]

Morning, guys. We still have the issue where some models links will not cancel when she logs out. I don't know if it's because they don't log out properly or what. I'm not sure what would be 'properly,' tho, because I believe that most people just close the window.

But that indicates that the link is still available. So, if you log in for a show and see a model listed, please kick her out of the room (Red circle with black bar through the center.) The name probably won't disappear then, but if you then refresh your page, she will be gone.

Thanks
