I've been escorting for a few years, and prior to this month, never seen cops come to the clinic.  But in the last four weeks, cops have come three times (!).  They've all come because a patient's friend assaulted the protesters.  If cops have to show up, that's the best scenario, but still...I'd rather keep things boring and civil ( Read more... )

Hi! I've been an escort for the past few years, and I've got an opinion about protestors that I think is in the minority, and I'd like to share it and see what comes up ( Read more... )

I'm so psyched about this, you have no idea! I just got this email via the Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts:

This community looks slightly inactive so I thought I'd cross post from my journal about my first day as an escort. ( I'm sure most of you share these sentiments. )

In escorting news: regarding cold. I layered like crazy this morning. I believe that Ugg boots are the best ones I have found so far for cold. Superior to Sorrels. A warning though, Uggs do not deal so well with snow; it is difficult if not impossible to make them waterproof.

please feel free to add your own boot suggestions.
