... as in, something that's very puzzling to me.  

it could be that she may be planning on returning some day and wants to keep up her appearance.  Other than that, I can't think of why a lady would do that.

She may have come out of retirement & just haven't updated her info on her website or on her ads?    Why not reach out to her & ask.. Very simple instead of blasting peeps before knowing wtf is going on...

I don't think so.
Had she replied to a specific person's email or text then that thought might have merit.
But as stated it's nuts.

She's not available for new people. Regulars that know her may still contact her. But that message is for newcomers.  

A provider who in your scenario came out of retirement at least a few days ago and had time to post photos here but not enough time to update her home page and change her retirement message doesn't have much professionalism, IMO.

Sometimes weird things like this occur when people go UTR or semi-UTR. Or the reverse: some retire or thought they were going to retire, but then come back out of hiding or retirement. I wonder how long the page has been like that.  

You have to look at the whole picture, I understand your Pov but maybe she's in the process of updating her info!!!  Just maybe!!! Lol  

that maybe she has a web designer that changes her text on her website and she doesn't have access to make changes.
Or it could be like someone else mentioned she is only see regulars.
Not sure why photos are still being posted if retired why not send her a pm and ask?
If I was retired website would be down and I would be gone no announcement no photos.

Because one cannot just call or text a regular and say, " hey, what's up? haven't seen you for a while!"

I didn't have the time to deal with screening and building new relationships, so i just posted on my home page I was taking a break.  I was happy to see established friends though, when they called.

to reach out and mention you were looking forward to seeing her and noticed her website (?) shows she retired. Maybe a few nice words explaining your interest and asking for confirmation. Would it hurt you? Noooooh. But you sound offended. You're kidding right?  

Earlier this year I talked to a woman who was in a elaina's situation We talked about my upcoming surgery and things we had in common as well as meeting, even though she wasn't seeing "new clients" at the time. So thinking out of the box and being open to exploring the unknown can be fun and bring great rewards. Try it.
You might like it.  

Maybe she retired from actual work but likes to post pics to bring a little happiness into our daily lives

and cynicism that permeates our society now. No, not a simple answer but a Poser. smh

I'd never seen a retired provider posting photo ads before.  (And I'm not a newbie.)  You're making it a lot bigger and badder and different thing than it is.  

was your befuddled entry and disinterest in finding out for yourself... at the source. You'll only get GUESSES as to what MIGHT be going on, right? ERGO, an impossible question to answer.  

into more drama than it has to be.  Boston has it right; just contact her and ask her if she's retired or still working.  You don't have to book yet, but at least you'll know whether she's going to be available when you get there.  Can't hurt.

makes perfect sense to me.  I have known many providers that go through periods where they only see established customers and are not taking anyone new.

reach out and ask. With some subjectivity on my part for good measure. No biggie.

Wtf are you talking about? Think these girls have a staff of dozens just waiting for her IT update demands?  

srsly, cdl & boston pegged it.  there's a hundred reasons why a person doesn't have every single ad stream source coordinated, esp. in terms of a one-person-run business like this.  

Her message also clearly states, "I may return, or I may not." How many retired providers stay retired snyway?

to remind her old clients.  besides, you are asserting that the pictures thread is ONLY for advertising.  being in the entertaiment business myself i know i like to see myself in the media, even in old stuff that is no longer relevant.

I think we guys jump to conclusions too fast.  

... maybe you can explain to me what's so difficult about approaching un-retirement like this:

That's a question each provider needs to answer for herself.  I couldn't get that insight by asking one person.  

... to let us know what you can do with just two clicks, and then tell everyone, ""Hey, lookee what I found!!"

I am totally in love with her. I think she should do whatever makes her happy She seriously looks like the happiest girl I have ever seen.  Have you seen her videos? Total girl crush!  
She's amazing I can see why you would have wanted to see her. Maybe she is going to come back .
I just know she should do whatever keeps that amazing smile on her face. She is clearly amazing.  
Maybe she did it for fun Pollie

You can't buy publicity like this

Maybe she does things based on HER needs first and not yours?

Will you please put on the big boy pants and stop pointing fingers everywhere else?

Over the past 6 months I had been receiving several emails from several fellas saying they missed my Photo Board Presence and asked me to post. So I obliged. That's the kind of gal I am. Happy to please when not much effort required.lol  Very simple to do and I'm sure those fellas that have been asking me to do it are now smiling. I love to make people smile.  

Bingo! You got it!  However I did it at the request of several.  

Stay safe, keep smiling and think happy thoughts!  

I have a particular favorite on the Photo Board and for the first time on 12 years I actually look at it. LOL ... if I retired, I'don't still look just to see her pics. She just does it for me. I can understand how other guys might feel. Nice of you

My point is not to show how smart I am. It was to point out how stupid your post was. You don't want to out her but you have so much info in your OP that ripmany could have found her in 2 posts. Do you take discretion lessons from Zak?

The photo only board has only been in existence for 2 1/2 years.

Yes it's true. Just started this year .... but I do get your point.  
 

I begged Grace to make a trip to Boston.... I almost decided on a trip to her.. is how much I thought she was great..  but then, I made an appointment with a local girl and she was great too..  
LoL

Maybe he meant in the 12 years he's been hobbying he's only recently started to look at the Photo Board.  

L

You hit the nail Grace. As for PS, I appreciate learning something new every day. Even unimportant stuff ...lol
Your hysterical perspective on things from days gone by are welcome.

and lord knows you can't win twice. lol I tried like hell to win again the month Sasha won (well deserved) only to find out I was fighting a losing battle no matter what because once you win you lose the privilege of being eligible for any future Miss TER's. lol I wish I had known that the month Sasha and my likes were neck and neck on the Photo Board because I wouldn't have been up at the butt crack of dawn posting like i did had I known. Hindsight is 20/20. lmao

Just not in the same year. Then again who knows. They have never published the actual rules, and they do tend to enforce things arbitrarily and change their mind, as well as different staff members having different interpretations.  
Secondly, you should know by now that it isn't only likes that determine the winner. There have been several winners who not only did not have the most likes, but we're not even in the top 10 most likes.

Yours or mine? lol

Yes, I knew what he meant, but some call me pedantic.

I was just pointing out there was no photo only board to look at 12 years ago or even 3 years ago.

Here is my message to TER and their response. How does TER choose the Winner and Runner up? What are the requirements? Is it a luck of the draw? I know it used to be based on total number of likes on the TER photo only board each month but I see now that it's obviously not just that.  

I am known as the "archivist" around here because of my knowledge of TER history and policies, and even some individual posters' histories. Thickyjr was playing off on my "historical" perspective and calling it my "hysterical" perspective. I found that funny and clever.

you don't show much to this ladies choice of remaining active on the photo board.

And I agree with you, she should do whatever makes her happy.

I guess that's one of those things where they are inconsistant.

I do know a provider who says she was told by admin you can win again again in a different year.  
Wouldn't be the first time people get different answers to a feedback question.  
Sometimes it is just a matter of different staff member's interpretation.

... disappeared (I think I know why, and I hope that person enjoys the 2 VIP days!), I'll restate what I said in reply to her kind post.  

I won Ms TER back in 8/2014 but I was also named runner up for ms TER earlier this year.
I also thought a provider can only win once.Who really knows.lol
I just post my photos because I like to not to win again so who knows if you can or not.

her webmaster isn't up to speed.

I see what you did there.....

No pun intended, she may want to know that she is still desirable, hot, or otherwise feel a connection to what she has been doing all this time. I can see a provider wanting that kind of feeling as she retires.
