For a long time I thought that all my problems were due to depression (have had that illness on and off since teens), but that didn't explain the probs with digestion/aching bones and muscles, extreme lethargy (falling asleep at desk) after doing very little exercise, and other stuff. So I sought expert opinion, having gotten fed-up with doctors just staring at me blankly when I tried explaining my symptoms, and finally diagnosed by a leading Professor in the medical profession. Now, I manage my illness by only eating fresh food - rarely anything processed; a piece of chocolate is like having a real knees-up. Gave up drinking, smoking, not in that order. Never eat fast food. As a result I look healthy - which is helpful for the acting work.

Coping much better now. But I have to plan everything I do so that I have enough energy.

Acting? Television and film work. Would like to do stage - but I'm not sure I could get through an entire production. Whereas with film work you get to sit down and wait around a lot.

A question.

What is the career path and likely success for the average prostitute? CEO? Prime Minister? I am sure a lifetime spent sucking c*ck would no doubt achieve the network and contacts needed to become a successful leader in our community. Although I admit there are certain skills in common.

Conundrum. Do you think that there are as many former prostitutes who wind up as 'captains of industry' as NRL players?

*Yabby, you are an idiot and I am embarrassed for your mother, unless your mother taught you this stuff and then I am embaressed for you.*

PP, I nver took much notice of what my mother taught me, for
motherhood does not imply intelligence, as we all know very well :)

Think of me more as a philosopher with no sexual hangups, unlike
yourself.

Fractelle, the career path of working girls is indeed much like that
of any other women. I seem to recall one famous transvestite who
made it to NZ parliament, something similar in Italy.

Thats just the ones being open about it. Perth's sex industry
is littered with university students making a few bucks on the side
to get them them through their studies. Many are Japanese, Koreans,
some Aussies.

Would I spend months going through tooth ache, because of false
pride and morals? No way! I'm far too realistic about life
for that.

Fractelle I can understand the frustration with the medical profession. My son had stomach aches for years and so did I – we both got called mental with a strong suspicion he was just copying me. We moved town and I went to another doctor with him, he had classic and unmistakable and immediately suspected Crohns Disease soon as he pointed to where he gets the pain. Had the operation and has never had a problem since. Me, boring old IBS which I’d kinda figured out anyway. I have to watch the silly foods too but tolerate any and all pain for a wood smoked pizza.

Acting, way cool. Nup – nothing else to say, bit jealous really.[smile]

“PP, I never took much notice of what my mother taught me, for

Be still my beating heart, a reply from Yabby. You’ll be okay Yabby, maybe combined your parents managed to hand you a decent brain to be going on with?

As for sexual hang-ups; you must have been talking to my husband recently, tell him from me he can damn well forget it because I looked that one up and it is not humanly possible without one of us being a dwarf.

I am going to ask you to do something very difficult - to empathise, to imagine what it would be like to 'service' clients - they don't all look like Richard Gere, nor are pleasant or charming. Yes, one can point to rare success which is, I posit, about the same rate as for NRL footballers.

Sure uni-students earn money on the side, till they graduate and go on to REAL careers. And its not work experience that will be included on the CV.

BTW women seek out males at pubs or bars for the same reason as the men do - they would like to have sex, they find someone they are attracted to and they CHOOSE that person. Unlike the professional hooker.

About the picture I sent you - it is deceptively simple until you study it more, I believe it is about optimism, but there is much that can be read into it.

As for TV/film it is easy to join a agency that specialises in providing extras for background work - that's how I got started. Are you near Brisbane? I can give the name of a reliable agency for you if you like.

*I am going to ask you to do something very difficult - to empathise*

ROFL Fractelle. Speak for yourself :)

I can certainly empathise, toothache is not pleasant, so you find
a solution. Lots of people do things they don't enjoy doing,
every day. That's life, we make a crust one way or another.

I never mentioned being a career hooker, never mentioned sleeping with
just anyone at any time. I'm just saying for a young female, its
a handy option for a bit of spare cash, if she is ever broke.

When somebody pays you 200$ an hour or whatever, it would be a great
time to practise those acting skills!

PP
And let me repeat – the money is crap, only a young stupid thing (exactly the ones this country targeted with the BB) would keep a baby thinking it was some sort of cash cow.
This is exactly what I am reffering to.

For the unptdeanth time, I am not reffering to you, and you accuse me of running around in cirlces.Take a pill!

And as a matter of fact, yes, it is the mothers responsibility if a child is born from a one nighter, without the concent of the father.

No responsible female would even consider unsafe sex with a one night stan if they had no intention to have children. On the other hand, there are plenty of options available if she to did not want the child, allbeit, none to pleasent I must agree.
