Thanksgiving - Family




MUSINGS FOR THIS WEEK

Thanksgiving: I'm very happy about next week. All my boys, slaves and sissies, are coming home for Thanksgiving with Mistress. We've decided to eat at the new house early in the afternoon, even though we haven't gotten everything moved yet. [Late afternoon, I'll join my folks for a meal out with only my top slave, in regular vanilla clothes of course *grin*.] At the new house, the boys are going to crash on the floor with sleeping bags. Only my bedroom is made up since we are still doing some necessary remodeling. We are all going to attempt to cook a favorite dish on top of the gas stove, camp stoves and hot plates. We are use to the big electric stove and double ovens at the old house so this will be a challenge. Hopefully, we'll be able to manage four or five cooking stations, so the food can finish in a timely manner and all be hot at the same time. Each of the boys is making one favorite home dish to share. The sissies love it. They dress up in their frilly aprons and high heels while putting together their dishes. The sex slaves and male submissives attend me, fetching ingredients and rubbing my feet and legs. Five of my boys will be with me, and I'm thankful for that.

New House: Groceries for the holiday will be a strain. At this time, we're putting every penny into required remodeling for our final move into the house. I wanted to install a new toilet and cabinet sink in the old bathroom, and paint. But when we removed the toilet we found it had never been replaced in the history of the house, no bolts, glued to the floor *yah, sucks.* We also found the flange was rusted and needed replaced along with some of the plumbing in the wall. So much for the little savings. I also need to hire some men to help with the large items we have to move. None of my boys are trained in electrical or large cabinet reassembly. My bed is a wall cabinet Cal-king set. Taking it apart and putting it together will be a work out, as well loading it and unloading it from the truck. I wanted it completed in one day, so it's just better to hire people to do it. I also found the old stove was trash, and had to buy a new one. The electrical won't support an all electric stove with double ovens plus there just isn't any room for extras, so we bought a new gas stove. At least that was pretty cheap. We're moving the appliances that will fit with us to the new house, along with decorator mirrors and such. So I get to take a little bit of my old home with me.

Dinner Contributions: If you'd like to add to my holiday dinner, you can send me a Gift Card from Amazon.com and if that's over your budget, then how about sharing a nice favorite family recipe with me. I love trying new things. My favorite holiday dish is old fashioned candy fudge made with cocoa powder.

Meet Me in Vegas: One of my favorite callers sets me up to use his comps from his casino play. Like all of us, he's cut back. But he recently received several offers and gave them to me. I'll be in Vegas at the Luxor Dec 1-4, Excalibur for New Year's Eve Dec 30-Jan 2, and the Bellagio Jan 24-27. Thank you, my dear sweet caller. Remember to honor the rules if you want to meet up with me in Vegas. If you don't have a copy of the rules, let me know via email and I'll send you one. These little trips won't be as fun for me on my limited income, but some of the meals are covered and the room is free, so that means I'll have a lot more time when I run into my callers (that's you *grin*). If you want to send Mistress a tribute for a spa treatment well -- that would make me swoon a little.

Christmas: Christmas is coming up. Don't forget your Mistress! Nothing makes Mistress more weepy than knowing her favorite callers forgot her on such a special holiday. Some of my favorite things are chocolates (sweet and dark), flavored coffees (mocha, chocolate, french vanilla, toffee), and flavored teas (herbal orange, peppermint and spice). And I am so coveting a Zarafina Tea Maker Suite with Ceramic Tea Pots, Cups, and Serving Tray and/or Adagio Teas 16-Ounce Ingenuitea Teapot and/or Bonjour Celeste Glass Teapot Set w/ Creamer and Sugar, Glass Infuser. I would jump up and down and clap at the sight of a UPS box with any of them. I dream of luxuriating with hot tea bedside and some yummy chocolate covered spoons or chocolate treats as I watch TV. I know it's kind of lame, but I also love Hickory Farms Boxes, Fruit Cakes, Fancy Dipped Strawberries, and all kinds of samplers for teas and coffees and other things. One year, I received a jerky sampler. It was delicious. Don't laugh, but I spend a lot of time at Ross Dress 4 Less around and after the holidays scouring the shelves for the sampler sets of coffees, teas and spices. It gives me an opportunity to try dozens of different kinds. My Wish List link is https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2W8WXQMAG05SJ

I have an alternative payment system and phone access for overseas callers. You can send me an Amazon.com Gift Card for time blocks and catalog items to ladylila@sbcglobal.net.

Nite Flirt Current Issues

Can't Get Through?

I'm getting feedback from customers. Some say they are calling but I hang up on them. Others say they cannot add money to their accounts. Others say they can add money to their accounts but are unable to use it once it's added. Some say, they call and then only get one minute even though they have funds in their account. Others say the connection is terrible. If you need a more reliable alternative method to contact me, send me an email (ladylila@sbcglobal.net). Thanks to a friend, I have an 800 number and payment method through Amazon.com Gift Cards for whenever Nite Flirt's issues are driving you crazy, and you do not need to give out your credit card number to a flirt.

Nite Flirt's Current Issues According to Nite Flirt:

We have a good handful of issues on the listing that Lxxxx Rxxxx has put together (thank you, Lxxxx!) that we are working on resolving but we would love more examples. If you are still experiencing the below issues, please fill out a support form with all the details so we can look into your examples and get these issues taken care of.
(1) Sometimes people are getting a recording asking them if they want to change their availability instead of the NF intro when they answer the phone.
(2) On some calls, pressing one to accept the call takes you into availability menu, possibly the same as #5 above, possibly different issue.
(3) Often there is no recording at the end of a call to indicate the call is ended and what the time and amount earned was, instead there is a repeating message that never ends that you get that says 'please hold while we ask the customer.....", but in fact, the call has really ended but not disconnected
(4) On paid calls, amounts paid don't match up to what recording says...and their is no good way in transactions to reconcile free minutes into transaction, use of free minutes in a specific transaction is unknown
(5) Within 5 seconds of the "one minute warning" the message that comes on to say the caller must add to the account comes on...no where near a minute
(6) Very old mail may be listed as new mail since the transition, resulting in "new" mails being buried pages and pages back
(7) Some flirts cannot edit the color of their text-defaults to black
(8) Pop up message for code for PTV buttons has cryptic message instead of indicating the title of the PTV like it used to.
(9) Some customers are being cut off after one minute on the phone after they have just added a large amount to their account.
(10) When clicking a call button, some callers are initially given a message that they have a lot of time in their account, but when attempting to connect, get a message that the do not have enough for a minute and must add. (See screenshot below by PAQ)
(11) Some flirts have listings that disappear after taking a call
(12) Some flirts have deleted listings appearing


If you are experiencing any of the above problems, please remember it's not my fault. And Nite Flirt is working hard to fix all these issues. And remember, if it's driving you crazy, just contact me for an alternative until things are back to normal at Nite Flirt *big sigh* if ever!.

Nite Flirt CUSTOMER Issues

Customers having issues with Nite Flirt

I appreciate everyone who has stuck with me through the Nite Flirt fiasco. A few of you have contacted me with several issues. I'm happy to assist in any way I can from this side of the problems.

ACCOUNTS: If you are missing funds from your account, or are blocked out of your account, or did not receive a refund or credit for a particular situation, let me know and I will contact customer service for you.

CUSTOMER SERVICE: At this time, there is no Customer Service phone number - only an email. This seems to be a new trend among website companies. They don't want to waste time or money on Phone Service to customers plus they do not have to listen to customers bitch. All you can do is send an email and hope they email back.

REPEATED BUSY SIGNAL: If you try to call me and get a repeated busy signal (trust me, calls are not that busy), then please email me and let me know. After some calls, especially those when customers are trying to add money to their accounts or another call tries to beep through, the system automatically sets our buttons to BUSY or AWAY without us knowing. Again, please let me know.

ADDING MORE MONEY: If you get disconnected when you try to add more money during a call, please let me know so I can pass it on to customer service. Each of these glitches have to be repaired before Nite Flirt will pay us for the errors on calls in the system.

DISCONNECTS: If your call is getting disconnected during the call, let me know. On our end, we just assume you shot your load and hung up. If your call is disconnected before you speak to a flirt, let me know.

EMAILS: If you try to email me at Nite Flirt and have difficulties, just use my private email at ladylila@sbcglobal.net

PAY-TO-VIEWS and DOWNLOADS and TRIBUTES: Nite Flirt is having an abundance of problems with each of these. In fact, some of us know customers downloaded and paid for some mails and attachments but the Flirts (us) were not paid for it. If you've ordered anything and paid for it via email, please let me know so I can see whether I was paid for it or not by Nite Flirt. It seems tributes are having a really bad time being paid as well as paid emails. It may be preferable to use an alternative method of payment for these items until this is straightened out, see below:

ALTERNATE PAYMENT OPTIONS: You can pay for any Paid Emails, Pay-To-View Emails, Tributes, Slave Penalties, Lessons or Assignments, Contracts, Sissy or Trance Aids, Downloads, etc., through an Amazon.com Gift Card. Please note that the Gift Card can take 24-48 hours to arrive, but your item will be sent out immediately upon it's arrival. Just state in an email to me, what you would like to purchase with the Gift Card. Same goes for calls if the Nite Flirt system is not working. I have my own Toll Free number you can use, and you can pay with an Amazon.com Gift Card. Again, the call can only happen if the Gift Card is already in my possession.

Things are looking up

Decisions

NEW HOME: We've purchased a smaller home in Las Vegas under one of my slave's names and are in the process of moving in. My slave will precede me there and do some repairs and upgrades to the home over the next three months. It's much smaller than I am use to, but also a lot less to deal with on the mortgage and utilities. I'm trying to cram five bedrooms/3 baths plus a country kitchen and additional den into a three bedroom/2 bath, no den, small kitchen. It's been crazy deciding what to keep and what to let go. I hate the Vegas traffic and crime. Plus, I don't like the location which is a high crime area (but all of Las Vegas is, so what the hell), but I had to acquire something very close to my elderly parents whom I'm helping out right now. I'm sinking a lot of money into security for it including wrought-iron security panels for all windows and doors, and a Brinks Home Security System. It doesn't have a garage, so we are installing a drive-through gate to the backyard which is fenced, and pouring concrete for the drive-through. Can any of you give me any security tips or ideas to make it safer? I know you want your Mistress to be as safe as possible.

VANILLA FUN WITH FOOD & MOVIES: I'm looking at the advantages to living in Vegas though. I absolutely love going to the movie theaters, eating out at excellent restaurants, and shopping for exclusive and specialty items. Vegas is certainly the place for that. A good place to find me on weekends is the Town Square on Las Vegas Blvd. They have the best movie theater in Vegas plus hundreds of shops and restaurants all located in one square mile. In the evenings (and other times), they have nightly special events, especially at the bars and dance clubs in the venue. Some of the best food and service I've enjoyed have been at the Yard House restaurant and bar. It's always packed, but let that scare you away. The service is still impeccable and fast. The Yard House is an upscale-casual eatery known for its extensive menu, classic rock music, and world’s largest selection of draft beer. Each Yard House location features a transparent keg room containing more than 400 barrels, some 1,000 gallons of beer, and an endless fleet of tap handles — 100 to 250 depending on the location. The menu of American Fusion cuisine includes an impressive selection of appetizers, salads, pastas, sandwiches, individual-size pizzas, seafood, steaks, ribs and chops. I personally love the Asian appetizers and ribs. Every appetizer we have ordered has been exceptional and delicious. I also love eating at the Kabuki Japanese Restaurant near the Rave theaters. Again, the service is overwhelmingly impeccable (seeing a theme here? *grin*). Mistresses love good service. When you walk into Kabuki, you won’t be overwhelmed with Asian decor or music. What you will encounter is a casual atmosphere with modern music playing and people smiling. Mostly it's a yuppie upscale place. But, hey, Mistress loves Sushi and can't help downing a little hot Sake.

NEW YEAR'S EVE, MEET ME: Even though I'll now be living in Vegas instead of Mesquite, I will still be receiving some casino comps from a nice caller. He has already made my reservations for the New Year's Eve Party at Excalibur. I'll be there from Wednesday, December 30, 12 noon, to Saturday, January 2, 11 am. I'll be attending the New Year's Eve Party with a friend of mine (Mistress Rana), and our two top slaves. It will be an excellent opportunity for some of you to see how slaves interact and are displayed when in attendance to a Mistress in public. If you would like to look for during the holidays, request my Rules for Public Meetings or read them in previous posts. Due to the move and holidays fast approaching, this will probably be my only outing until after the first of the year around Valentine's Day.

GAY AND TRANNY CLUBS: Another bonus to living in Vegas is having access to the Gay and Tranny hang outs, which quite a few of my callers, slaves, and lifestyle friends enjoy. The Vegas areas for this type of fun are Commercial Center and the Fruit Loop *lol*. I didn't make that up, that is what it is really called. Commercial Center is located on the southwest corner of Maryland Parkway and Sahara. It contains Hank's Gym which is a favorite male gay bath house in Vegas. It's billed as a "private men's social club" and reviews say it's men only so don't show up in drag (women's clothes), Fridays and Saturdays from 11pm-5am are the busiest times, lots of hot guys but also some freaks and trolls, staff is great and the men are sex pigs, one man says he can usually hook up three time sin one evening, another says he was stuffed with cum and never had so much fun in his life. It's a definite for my gay callers to check out. You'll find your gay cowboys at the Badlands Saloon and your leathermen at the Spotlight Lounge. On the backside of Commercial Center on Karen Street, you'll find your tranny bar called the Las Vegas Lounge - this place is for transgendered and those who admire them. Tranny go-go dancers appear most nights of the week. This is also a place for the 'pros' to gather and it's a little on the seedy side but I know some of you like that. Reviews about the Lounge say the place is kind of dumpy, the best time to be there is early am around 1-2am when the amateurs and newbies come around, quite a few pros hang out there and will charge newcomers out the ass, and sometimes there are amazing looking TGs. Nearby, on E. Tropicana you'll find the Las Vegas Eagle bar which also hosts your leathermen. Who doesn't like a hot man in leather? In the Fruit Loop, an area from Harmon to Tropicana on Paradise Road, hosts Club Menage and Gypsy's which have been icons for the Fruit Loop. You may find some of the Fruit Loop offerings are tainted by cliques where visitors tend to be treated anywhere from barely nice to rude, so just take your chances and enjoy the view at these clubs.

HETERO SEX CLUBS: Vegas is also known for its sex clubs and prostitution. Prostitution abounds from street walkers to call outs (escort services in the phone book and flyers). Even though prostitution is illegal in Vegas, it gets by abundantly. Hookers patrol the Strip hotels and Strip side walks, and Tropicana just off the Strip, west bound, is considered Hooker Row. It's not unusual to see hookers in the parking lots of the hotels giving blow jobs in parked cars. Prices range from $40 (blow job from sleaze drug addict hooker) to $200+ for a handjob from an escort (in addition to her hourly charge for just "escorting"). The town is also sprinkled with Asian massage parlors, and yes, according to my callers who go to them, they do give hand and blow services for a nice tip (usually around $40-$80 after the massage payment of $60 to $100, but what the hell, they massage "everything"). And then there is the Sex Clubs which usually have an admit fee ranging from $20 to $200 for men, women are usually free, but prices depend on whether you act like a tourist or a local. You can try the Red Rooster in far E. Tropicana (but it takes a little special knowledge to purchase entrance and find them. On weekends they are pretty crowded with 100-200 people at a time sucking, blowing and enjoying the orgy room. According to some of my friends, crossdressers are not welcomed. So keep it straight. The price is anywhere from $20-$200 for men depending on whether you seem to know what you are doing or are form out of state. But it is one of the better sex clubs in Vegas. You'll also find several Sex Clubs in the Commercial Center listed above, along side the gay clubs. These include Fantasy Social Club, usually $40 for couples $60 for men, women alone are free; and the Green Door, usually $50 for couples $60 for men, $10 for single women, with special prices for slow nights; and a small Red Rooster outlet, not nearly as nice as the Tropicana version, but couple admission is $10-$20, men $50, single women free, depending on the night you choose. I've been to these clubs and most times mid-week they are dead empty, so choose a weekend night. If you want more information or details about the pricing, dungeon availability, kink, or inside action, just email me ladylila@sbcglobal.net and I'll send you some links.

FORECLOSING MESQUITE HOME: Now that the decision has been made to let my current home go, some of my personal stress has been lifted. Nite Flirt's upgrade timing came at the very worst time possible for many people including me. Just imagine, your only income source is your work, and it shuts down for three to five weeks without pay or with pay reduced to 20%. Plus, the Nite Flirt upgrade still has no definite date for its relaunch. I had hoped to sell my home and use the equity to purchase another one, but with the economy woes and the housing mortgage scam by the banks, my home's value tanked. It went from $300,000 to less than $100,000. I owe $150,000 which is much less than the sell price can be. New laws that were passed prevents me from selling it any way except for a cash or short sale because it is 31 years old and banks refuse to finance it now even though it is excellent shape. Las Vegas has so many brand new homes for sale that selling a use done at a higher price just will not happen. I cannot take a $60,000+ loss that I have to pay back on a home I can't keep, so it goes to foreclosure and I'm filing a bankruptcy to clear the loan from my credit. It all sucks, but I know I'm not the only one experiencing this problem. But I can clearly attribute the loss of my home to Nite Flirt's upgrade. One month without pay in this hard economic times was enough for me to lose it.

CHOCOLATE AND COFFEE: Of course, chocolate and coffee still make me a bad girl. They run my life. Hot chocolate-flavored coffee in the mornings, chocolate truffles for lunch, chocolate coffee ice drinks in the afternoon (from Sonic, they make the best using ice cream instead of just ice), chocolate coffee spoons and melts in hot coffee for dinner, and a nice chocolate bon-bon for late night dessert followed by a heavy dose of iced chocolate decaf coffee before bed. When I'm being really bad, I also make several drive-throughs at McDonald's for sugar-free vanilla ice coffee or mocha ice coffee. You can make Mistress happy and feed her addiction by sending me an Amazon.com gift card or your favorite chocolate and coffee recipes.

Recovering from Car Accident

Rains and Pours

You've heard the old saying, "when it rains, it pours," meaning when something bad rains down on you many other negatives seem to follow. I think it just means "shit happens" and it happens a lot whenever it wants to. But why let it ruin your day. I have always been able to find a little humor in even the bad days, the shit happens days, and the the days when it pours *smile*.


RECOVERING: Well, at the moment, I'm very available for calls despite Nite Flirts problems. My friend and I were on our way to dinner together, October 8. She was driving. As we crossed an intersection, an elderly couple ran a stop sign and struck the edge of my door on the passenger side and most of the back door on my side, spinning the car in a hard circle and rolling it on to the driver's side. A group of boys in a passing car saw the accident, and pushed the car back upright for us and helped us out. The couple must have been doing about 60 miles an hour when they hit us. Luckily, or not, my friend's car has side airbags, which inflated for me. I was not injured severely, but for the past week, I have been suffering from a nasty case of whiplash from the airbag. I couldn't lay down or move my head from side to side. It was so sore from the base of my skull all the way through my shoulders. Just this week, I can finally move it enough to drive, and be able to look over my shoulder a little to shift lanes or turn a corner. And now, I'm sore in another place, my lower back and shoulders. The doctor says it will take several weeks for all the stiffness to go away - plus he gave me some fairly strong pain killers and muscle relaxers. No one told me you shouldn't take them together, so the first couple of days I walked around like a drunk zombie. I don't take medications hardly ever, and these were very strong. *lol* I had to go back to the doctor and ask for a lighter prescription and to stop taking the muscle relaxers all together because they made me loopy as shit. So, I apologize if you caught me on one of my loopy nights with a call *LOL* - although I'm thinking maybe it was a good thing now, because so many of you talked much longer to me while I was loopy. Did I make any promises that I may not remember *big grin*?

NITE FLIRT UPDATE: No relief in sight yet.
(1) ADDING MONEY TO THE ACCOUNT: If you have difficulty adding more money to your account, check your account information. It seems the system is resetting, deleting or changing account information on its own, and therefore, your account information may show no credit card, or an outdated credit card, etc. So, check it, correct it and it may work again.
(2) EMAILS: I'm not ignoring, really! Nite Flirt emails have a mind of their own right now. Sometimes I can send mail out and sometimes I cannot. Sometimes the mail buttons work and sometimes they don't. I could go on and on. So, if you send me an email and I don't answer - just contact me at my regular email - so far it works all the time ladylila@sbcglobal.net and I do check it regularly.
(3) DISCONNECTS: Did our call disconnect after only one or two minutes, or disconnect when you tried to add money? So sorry! But it's not me. Some of the calls are still having glitches, and Nite Flirt is working on it. Hopefully it will be repaired soon.
(4) BETA: Yah, we're still in Beta Nite Flirt. They are still fixing the glitches and problems, which come and go and come and go. And there is no date in sight for when it will be back to normal. When you call, we cannot see who is calling us so you need to identify yourself each time. Please identify yourself by name and Nite Flirt email ID. The 1-800-TO-FLIRT number is working, but you will need my extensions:
01900807 Mistress of Your Dreams
01895253 Pervert's Hotline
01920471 Sissy School Transformations
01914454 Mind Control Line
01999597 Extreme Fantasy: Giantress, Vampire, Witch, Sorceress, Beast Himself
01921093 Pantyhose Fetish
01956022 Financial Domination & Ass Whores
03808950 Chat Only Line, No Sex. My special boys can ask for a special rate!

(5) OVERSEAS CALLERS or PROBLEMS CONNECTING: If you cannot get past the connection problems, or adding money problems or any other Nite Flirt problems, contact me and I'll give you a separate and secure customer alternative option for calling me.

FAVORITE CALLERS: I have had quite a few new Mind Control callers beginning their first inductions. I have a FREE Mind Control First Induction Instruction sheet for those who request it. It has preparation instructions for your first Mind Control induction session. It's a must for anyone who wants to try erotic imagery or Mind Control. I have also had lots of requests for my FREE Newly improved 35-page Kinky Catalog. The Catalog has lots of really nice nasty photos of me that will entice that hand of yours to grab your cock and stroke *grin*. Just ask and I'll send you one. ladylila@sbcglobal.net Special thanks to my new Mind Control boys including the attorney and my boy who thinks he doesn't matter, and my new puppy trainee. I've also enjoyed my conversations with my new online sissy boy and the married boy trying to enjoy some femininity when his wife is away.

NITE FLIRT CALLS: The emergency is not over yet for many flirts. Nite Flirt is still in Beta mode and many of the Flirt customers don't know the phone lines are working again. So, our calls are still just a drizzle (most of us are making about 1/3 of what we use to make). Support your Mistress, and keep her smiling. If you cannot send an Amazon.com gift card or a tribute or purchase small pay-to-view, then please just send me an email, love letter or note of support as we all struggle through this down economy and Nite Flirt's upgrade fiasco.

From your loving Mistress (who knows how to punish with a great big strap-on *smile*)
