So I have an appointment set up in two days with someone I've been dying to see for a while, and I feel like I'm coming down with a cold. This is a fairly rare trip for her to my city, so it's not like a normal book when feeling better situation.  

What would you want a provider to do if he,she had a cold coming on?

I would appreciate you canceling.  I don't want to get sick because then everyone I see after will get sick. Besides that i just don't want to be sick lol I think the respectful thing to do is cancel.  
Xoxo,

Eat one a day & it will make that feeling of cold vanish!!!!   Proven... See attached article!!!

Maybe I worded that poorly? If I actually had a cold, I wouldn't go through with the appointment and risk getting her sick. I was wondering if I should I alert them in advance of knowing for sure or just hope for the best and cancel closer to the appointment time if necessary?

And then I'll be all smelly and she'll be grossed out. Damned if I do, damned if I don't!  

Not the least of which is the fact that is not only the worlds first form of birth control, but a leading reason for the invention of doggie style. lol

Check the agency cancelation policy and use that as a guide to cancel if it looks like it is a cold. In the end, better to cancel even the morning of the appointment if you wake up sick.  Just my preference.

I eat garlic & I never smell....   Stop seeing FOBs if you have this kind of view!!!! 😒😒😒😒.  

Make sure to give enough notice.....

Once from a stripper in Phily and the other time a few months ago from a provider.. I don't blame her for it (the provider).. but I called her and told her that I was positive when I took a strep test (two days after I saw her).. she said.. "Oh I was hoping no one else would catch it".. nice,   it's so easily cured by antibiotics.. I told her that .. she was traveling and said she would see her doctor when she got home.. Huh?

It's not just your breath, but it get into your bloodstream and you can smell it coming out of the pores of your skin. and it's not just the FOB girls.

...in 24hrs.  
Give it 24hrs but if the symptoms are no better then pretty please with sugar on top cancel.  
If you are really sick and make her sick (assuming she's GFE and there def will be kissing) you could put her out of commission for several days (or more) along with probably thousands of dollars gone.

wants to get your illness passed on to them.

Hey Terri:
That is why I like you. You don't mind giving up the booty; You just don't want to catch the cooties.

...just the two of us and the office reeked of garlic from his breath. I kid you not. It took me a week to figure out what the fuck was going on.

but yeah I have a couple of Korean friends that you can smell the moment they walk in the door from halfway across the room.  

Guys lack hygiene !!!!!   That's why they smell.....  Ugh.    

Well I eat garlic when I feel a cold coming on & I never smell like it... I know it streams thru the body but people's bodies are different... I'm always complimented that I smell....     Go support those FOBS!!! Kimchis good for ya!!!!

Cance

sorry, life sucks and then you die, but out of respect for the hobbying community at large, i try not to spread my germs around.  when i'm feeling bad i cancel any dates i have made.

Being from the South, I am big advocate for everything Garlic. However, I just couldn't pass this on to my beloved client if he ever came down with a cold unless he vowed to take an extra dose of Beano!  

that I get a Pavlovian hard-on when I walk into a Korean restaurant.

Lmao!!

I cancelled a week ahead

The exact same thing happened to me with someone I've seen a lot who was visiting from out of town.  I was coming down with a cold, and then full on cold the night before she was due to fly in, and I told her so.  We had an early am appointment, a duo with someone local no less, and I had to cancel.  Because of her expenses, I paid her 50% of her rate as a cancellation fee, which I thought was fair. Although really didn't like paying something for nothing, she had a lot of expenses and lost out through no fault of her own.  We men have to act like the gentlemen we say we are, and not like sleazy hobbyists that take advantage of women.  Gentlemen ALWAYS will be rewarded by the ladies we treat right. Always.

I even love raw garlic on my Kalbi, but I make damn sure my date has the same thing I do. Kimchi breath is only tolerable when both parties have the same breath.

I had a cold start up 1 day before the appointment. My friend, who sees a lot of backpage providers, said to go forth with the appointment. It was less than 24 hours before so I did not want to have to pay a cancellation fee. Took a bunch of cold medicine that night.

importantly, you should consider the health of the provider.

48 hours out, Sudafec ever 4 hours 500 mg Vitamin C every 4 hours as well.
24 hours out,  if not feeling better CANCEL, or better yet request a rain check.
Playing Fair!

but that is no reason not to do the right thing. A man is supposed to do the right thing because it's the right thing to do. Your statement reminds me of religion where they assume the ONLY reason to be a good person is to get into heaven. FUCK THAT, do the right thing because it's the right thing to do, not because of some fantasy reward you expect to get someday.

Most ladies I have known over the past dozen years let me know beforehand if this is an issue.  You should do the same.

If ur canceling for yourself that's cool. But don't do it for her! Ur paying BIG MONEY! She'll get over it! Haha JK

brown liquor (I like Gentleman Jack) and a blanket...if you still feel ill the day before your appt., cancel it.  common courtesy.  I hate people that come to work sick and spread it everywhere.

Haha!!! Girl I eat it when I'm not feeling good, in this bipolar Chicago weather the body freaks out... It really help... I've never had any complaints of stinking like garlic but I'm a person who's never had BO.... Never had to use deo but I'm OCD & shower couple times a day or more pending how many clients I have.... Lol

First of all, ALL colds are viral.  They are caused by what's called a rhinovirus.  Thus there is no medication that can cure one. If they go to your chest they can become bacterial and thus treatable by antibiotics (which, by the way, will have no impact on a rhinovirus).
Either way, a rhinovirus is always contagious, but so is a bacterial infection.
So congratulations, Dallas, 100% of the info you've given here is WRONG.
Afro--still not a doctor--desiac.

Another way of looking at it - anyone can do good if there is no cost to it.  You do good because it's what you do and who you are.  There ain't no rewards for that - nor should there be.

The residual hacking can last as long as three weeks. My business is completely shut down for a simple cold. NEVER expose a provider to your cold. How would you like it if your monthly income was cut in half over a simple cold?
