Advice on the "Low Ballers"
Nicolette Vaughn replied to a topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
When you offer them a deal, they will ALWAYS expect more and never be satisfied with what you are offering. And sometimes they press you for things you don't do. I get them off the phone very quickly. -
What's on your bucket list?

I want to go visit my sister in South Korea or join her on vacation in Thailand. I haven't seen her for almost 2 years. -
Valentine's Day
Nicolette Vaughn replied to Claire Heavens's topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
I agree. It's been Valentine's Day everyday for me for the last few months. Notice me smiling for no reason here.. One day is not enough. :) What one person feels on Valentine's day, I am lucky to feel that way everyday. -
Going to see a client and they tell you on arrival they had the stomach flu 2 weeks before. Thinking it has passed and all is good, suddenly 3 days later, you find yourself sleeping on the bathroom floor all night asking yourself when is it going to end? Apparently not for 24 hours as in my case. Additional Comments: When that happens to me, I always see it as divine intervention, like I was not meant to post it for some reason. lol. I've had this happen during some heated debates online.

My 15 year old cat Alex passed away early this morning after dying in his sleep. He seemed fine yesterday morning eating with his brother who is from the same litter. I questioned whether or not to put him down yesterday and by having these concerns, I think subconsiously I knew he was ready to die. He was a kind and gentle cat and in some ways he had similar characterisitcs to his owner. Always there when you needed him but never put up with any crap like when he became confrontational with a Siberian Husky when walking by my property. He always used to run out of the house and climb the tree and once saw this dog sniffing around leisurely walking on the edge of my lawn. He chased him right down the street as the poor owner who was pregnant was trying to regain control of her dog while my cat was fighting him. He was the alpha male of my household and he was stubborn. As a young cat, he was hit by car and survived with a crushed lung and broken leg. As a result he walked with a limp and had arthritis which is what ultimately slowed him down for good as he progressed in age. When they say cats have nine lives, he would be that cat. He once rode to work under the hood of my neighbor's car unscathed when he could have been severely injured or killed. He took a turn for the worst last night in the early evening and looked like he had given up. He was basically limp with a blank stare and had shallow breathing. As I held him in my arms sobbing uncontrollably, I knew his time was up. I took him to my bed, wrapped in a blanket and he slept there beside me. I woke up in the middle of the night and he was gone. He led a good life and had been with me since I lived at home as a teenager. He came from a litter of 4 by the family cat. He had been with me when I had my first apartment, when I went to school, got married and had my first baby, my first home and when I moved to my second home. He was there through some rough moments in my life and always offered unconditional love. And he loved my hair as he would always sit beside me on the arm of my sofa when I'd get home and snuggle into me. He was always there. As I sit here writing this, although I cannot help but be sad, I also have to think that he did have a good life and that this should be celebrated. He was a special cat as all of our pets are to us and he will forever be remembered. He was a part of my family and won't apologize to those who just think he was a cat or some animal who is now dead and to just get over it. I'm glad he passed the way he did at home in familiar surroundings and with those who cared about him. R.I.P. Alex. You will be missed.

what people collect
Nicolette Vaughn replied to shymale's topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
Swarovski crystal - I have hundreds of those figurines. Other than that, I don't have a strong attachment towards collecting things and am very minimalistic. -
I'm currently trying to decide whether or not I should put down my 15 year old cat. He has mobility issues because of arthritis as a result when he was hit by a car 11 years ago. He has only been like this in the last month and the vet says he has incontinence issues because of old age. He is peeing in his bed and ends up sitting in it because he can't get to the litter box that I've moved closer to him. He is still eating, finds a way to still greet me at the front door and stays on one floor of my house mostly in his bed all day. I had to give him a bath today because he peed on himself and he actually liked the warm water. I wrapped him up and he's been in my arms purring ever since. I don't know if he's suffering in pain or if he's just winding down.. He's tried to get up off the sof and fell on his face as his legs are giving out. He is only 5.5. lbs and lost a lot of weight in the last month or two but is still eating. He is so bony. I don't know what I should do at this point? I also told myself once he stopped eating that it would be time. The decision to put him down is not because he's a burden to me because he's not but I just hope he's not in pain. I'm confused and sad...

Advice on the "Low Ballers"
Nicolette Vaughn replied to a topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
Oh and I forgot to mention, I've heard a few classics from lowballers who attempt to do it in a roundabout way so they think they're not appearing to be cheap in a monetary way... Him: "I'm young, handsome and well hung that you will enjoy me so much that you will not want any compensation." Me: "Honey, being young, handsome and well hung doesn't pay my bills." Silence... -

Advice on the "Low Ballers"
Nicolette Vaughn replied to a topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
I stick to my guns. I don't offer 15 minute appts, or half services. I get asked this a lot and I just say no. I'm not interested because those guys will always try to push their luck and attempt to stay longer. I can tell you that if I did do 15 min appts, they wouldn't be getting what they get in a half hour or longer. I take pride in my services so don't try and low ball me. It would definitely be mechanical because if they don't want to pay what I'm asking, why put in the effort? And it all goes back to "You get what you pay for." Some of these dudes think they will find a golden gem they can pay for 15 mins who will let them stay for a half hour. Not on my dime. I just say no and that is usally enough. If they persist, I just freeze them out. -
Oh God. It was horrible. It happened months before I turned 18. I had been into heavy petting and things when I was younger than that but never went all the way. LMAO!!! I waited a year and having a first serious boyfriend to attempt anything again... The only reason I did it was because I got dumped by a dude who was a childhood friend turned puppy love and I was not interested in having sex with him. Things with him were innocent until he turned 15 or 16 and then all he wanted to do was bang girls he knew. Then I figured I wanted to see what this sex thing was all about after being crushed by this guy.Total fail! LOL. I walked away thinking what was the big deal about and I also had to cover up a hickey on my neck at the Rideau Centre before going home and then having that Leah Chapel who was a CJOH news anchor at the time in the bathroom giving me dirty looks. And I had my school uniform on. I would have been in s**t. Big time! Afterall, I was a good Caholic girl. My father used to be waiting at the door when I'd hang around guys and once shoved one up against the brick wall at my house when he brought me home late. Mind you, I was only 13 and my parents were freaking out because they didn't know where I was. He used to chase away all boys who were interested in my sisters and I. Or hunt them down if they were jerks. But that's another story for another time. The guy was a 17 year old idiot, I was the same age and I lost my virginity at his place on Frank St off Elgin. Next time you drive around there, think of me having REALLY lousy sex with a guy who couldn't get it up!!

energy-how to get it
Nicolette Vaughn replied to CristyCurves's topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
Yes, I gave up processed sugar. Not fruit. I am a sugar junkie in reform right now so I tend to gravitate towards low carb eating because it takes away sugar cravings and stabilizes blood sugar like it would for a diabetic. The sugar free chocolate has high amounts of sugar alcohols and malitol to make these products taste better which have been associated with stomach cramps and flatulence. I stay away from those. B12 shots enter your blood stream immediately. I'm not sure about the strips you speak of because I've never used them. I don't know how long it would take for them to be effective. I know pills take a lot longer. I use b12 shots every other day and it's great if you're feeling tired or stressed while helping your mood. Think of it as a natural antidepressant. -
Major shin splint!!!! And my 15 year old cat is slowly dying of old age right before my eyes. Sad...

energy-how to get it
Nicolette Vaughn replied to CristyCurves's topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
If you quit sugar ( I know... easier said than done) after 3 days once it's out of your system and headaches are gone, your blood sugar levels will be stablized and you will feel instant energy. Sometimes I feel after I quit in a few hours, I notice this. There are too many highs and lows associated with sugar which is why it's draining to you. B12 shots do help with your mood and energy but you don't need a perscription to get it. It costs about $5.00 at Shopper's Drug Mart.
