If the member already has a gold subscription then yes the gift option is not apparent. I have however dealt with requests from members to gift the platinum, when they have a current gold, if that is what someone wants to do.
Good to know for the future

I assume you mean to gift a membership. So you must be Lush friends. On the members profile page, that you wish to gift, you will see that option I think under the profile cover image. The rest is straight forward.
Well, they to be an unpaid member too. I recently gifted someone a month, then took up a collection for a platinum. The gift button had disappeared. I just sent the coins directly and they bought an upgrade themselves
Sorry. It was 1200 recently, so I guess it was the Black Friday deal.
I mean the cost of 1875 coins reflects a 20 per increase over the cash price $149.
You can cash out 1875 coins for $149, so from that perspective, there is no upcharge.
The membership cost is available with coin. Platinum is 1200 coins, and everything is available. It's a 20% fee, same as cashing out.

You've obviously never read Larry Niven's short story, "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex"! 🤣
I have. Hilarious. What different kryptonite would do to sperm was funny.

Thanks. So is yours. And you're right, grammar is hard. ;)
Mine isn't. It was hasty. The idea is cool, but I gave it away. I may redo it if I have time.

A shape lies huddled in bed. In the dark. They know IT will come. IT always comes. Clammy, sinuous tentacles would rend their clothes and pin them to the bed in one motion. They could almost feel it's black ichor coating them. Invading them. Corrupting their very soul again and again and again. Heart pounding. Eyes wide. "Please God, ..." they say with a shuddering moan, "... Please hurry back!"
This is great!!!

"Lay beneath a willow, forest deep," her mother said. "It's your time."
The Hallow's moon guided her. There she slept.
At a wolf's howl, she awoke to fiery fingers caressing her naked body.
Veiled women surrounded her, circling, chanting, teasing and taunting her flesh.
One after another they feasted upon her open sex until her body arched in climax, then all was darkness.She'd need wear white vestments no more.
Love this one!

Most nights, the shadow was confined to the wall. Despite its contortions, it couldn't reach Jake's bed.
But on Halloween, it wrenched free. Jake felt its weight settle upon him while teeth grazed his skin. Remaining still, he was soon rewarded by the delicious warmth of a suckling mouth.
Terror heightened his arousal until he came with a shudder. Afterward, the shadow retreated, impatient in its prison for another year.
I think we have a contender here! 👍👍
For Halloween, Mia, Lucy, and Zoe, all candy-flipping, and controlling each other's Bluetooth toys, were dressed in slutty costumes.
As they wandered the neighborhood, high as fuck, Mia's left pastie blew off and landed in a yard full of motion-activated decorations.
Suddenly, they came to life, moaning and groaning.
Zoe screamed, “It’s an ambush!” They all panicked and ran, only later to realize Mia had accidentally set off the decorations.
It would be nice to have additive tags. Example. Choose spanking. Let it filter, then search schoolgirl, filter again. Then choose paddle. This would let you highly filter results.
Plastic surgery, and or cosmetics to cover it up?
I considered it being fake from day one myself.
It's certainly possible, but not likely.
I don't have strong opinions either way.
I think it's unlikely because it would be ammo for gun control, and THAT is nothing the right is for.
I think they flash froze their own fresh beef, but I'm not positive about that.

Upscale steakhouse + frozen steaks… 😐
Maybe not upscale, but still expensive. They had a hook. No steak knife on site. The meat literally fell apart. The secret was cooking under a hood at like 800 degrees or something, starting at dry ice temperature. Cooked very quickly. I didn't like them. I like my steak to be bloody...
Quote by LYFBUZ
The really scary part is: what do you think happens at upscale restaurants?
I don't have a problem with surge pricing in itself, I'll shop with my feet. Its been going on for years in the gasoline industry. It basic supply and demand economics. It does feel a bit gougy but I won't be eating there anyway.
I don't have a problem with surge pricing either. Capitalism at it finest. I simply won't partake if I notice. My brother worked at an upscale steakhouse. A dropped frozen steak was fair game for hockey if the boss wasn't around. After which it was brushed off and cooked. Again perfectly safe. They cooked them fully frozen, so nothing noticing would stick to it, and cooking kills any bacteria it might pick up. I assume this is common when you have teenage boys working in the kitchen.
Because in general, the mainstream media and anyone on the left dosen't believe any of it. The only "proof" I have is how deaths were tallied. Most people think it was a natural thing, believe the vax was safe and effective and everything else the government said. There was zero science in the 6ft distancing too. I'm actually surprised nobody is arguing. A lot is coming out, so maybe the truth is spreading.
There are soooo many.
Chemtrails.
Most of the COVID issues, like it was made in a lab, the experimental vaccine was neither safe nor effective, the death rate was highly inflated.
To be clear, I DO believe COVID was real.
It was NOT a hoax. I'm not a COVID denier.
I DO believe people died. Lots of people.
I also believe most every death was tested for the COVID virus. Hospitals were incentivised with government money for every positive case.
I KNOW for a fact, that automobile accidents, homicide, and many many deaths by natural causes having nothing to do with the virus, were recorded as "COVID related" if the person tested positive.
I also know for a fact you could rub a strawberry on the test, or a drop of distilled water, and it would pop positive.
I realize I'm in the minority.

There are so many fast food urban legends like that. My cousins in Louisiana have told me that some of the Taco Bell chains down there use nutria (giant invasive rodents that look like smaller capybara and love ditches and canals) in the taco meat.
Wendy's chili DOES use uneaten hamburger meat. Perfectly safe. Nothing wrong with that. Urban legends aside, you must realize teenagers are behind the scenes. If one spills a box of frozen hamburger patties or even french fries on the floor, you better believe it aint headed to the dumpster.

Wendy’s, who is perpetually struggling to maintain a customer base in a crowded fast food field, is experimenting with adding surge pricing to their busiest times. So eating at, say dinner time, will now cost you extra money.
As a note McDonalds has already played around with this and found it made customers fucking livid. Depending on how the bills and display board are set up it’s also untested legal grounds.
Fast food has been actually doing poorly in recent years. Profit margins are shrinking as smaller and higher quality businesses are able to grab a larger market share without having to rely on the huge amount of staffing some chains need to maintain.
And this solution seems poised to anger customers and a work force that’s increasingly willing to leave. Do you want to get screamed at as an hourly employee because corporate jacked prices on a customer? When two people have the same order minutes apart and one is getting charged more.
And if it weren’t already obvious, surge pricing will not come with discounts for off-peak hours.

I don't think it will run afoul of legal issues. Hotel and motels have a "Rack Rate" which must be posted in the room and is the highest rate it can charge. I've seen rack rates of $250 a nite in a $50 motel room. Vegas is notorious for this. You can get almost free rooms in the week where there is no major event. But check pricing during the AVN awards, DEFCon, or the UFO convention. Those $24.00 rooms will cost hundreds. I think it will fuck them if they do it. I know I would be furious. I still won't enter any business that refused me service for not wearing a mask. I had medical reasons.
My thoughts are if you purchase coins, they belong to you. You should be able to do as thou wilt with them. I don't anyone telling me how I can and can't spend my money. I understand the spirit of the coins, but there are always rule benders and breakers. Why does anyone care what someone else does with their coins. It's like weed. Why do people care if other people smoke weed or eat gummies? Or porn? Why did people go to prison for making (PG to R rated by today's standards) porn in the 50s? The fact is most will coins will circulate on the site and never get redeemed. As stated above, it helps keep the lights on here. Few people will ever accumulate 450 coins unless they are selling something or have a super fan.
Don't know about plans for the coins. I agree about the writers not being compensated. I have already said it would be nice if the site owners gave a few coins for new stories, or stories with a lot of reads/diff etc. The stories drive the site and put money in the owners pockets. That said, I believe if you have coins, you should be able to do what you want with them. Once bought or received, they belong to you. Just saying...
