Hello , everyone.
This is nelle . I am using an outdated account. ( Actually before this happened I was in the process of trying to get back in with the perb community and wanting to become a paid advertiser ) However things did take somewhat a turn for the worse and it may take me a few weeks to get back if I do into this hobby .
I did just make a new account under my actual professional name however it takes 24 hours I guess to reply. So I'm actually risking being banned from here for replying and I'm hoping the mod will understand why the urgency in this .
I thank the gentleman that have messaged me this morning , offered me any support as we as show the bravery enough to even share their experiences of being robbed . It's unfortunate that there even has to be other stories.
I posted on Leo's list because I know how public it is . I think what was most scary about this was the fact the man over the phone sounded completely normal and legit . I was somewhat weary being that it was the econolodge on notre dame and Maryland . However being that it is close to a major hospital, I didn't listen to my inner instinct and was focused more on that then the fact this hotel too is right beside a bar where I've heard weekly stabbings take place .
Also , as Riley was very smart to point out regarding the screening process . Sometimes it can be a pain in the behind for some gentlemen to have to give their room number , first or last name or even have to give another sp name for a reference. These are done usually done for our safety so this kind of thing does not happen. I on the other hand did get the room number and name but couldn't get an answer at the front desk . So that was my personal error .
It was two gentlemen and a girl . I do believe they were high on meth and I was not only terrified that I was either going to get stabbed or my face slashed up but the hit to the face because at first I refused to give up my phone was enough to send me to the emergency room having to be on pain killers and having to pay plastics a visit yesterday at hsc to see if I needed surgery . I am happy to say I don't . My face is fine and my bruising is clearing up .
The mental aftermath is taking longer and I am only currently speaking to guys I've known so well I consider friends , guys I've seen before and board members. I am not taking appointments ( this isn't an advertising tactic) just saying how this has effected me .
I do believe these people will make this a trend . That's why I posted this on Leo's list . I would not like to hear of another one of our local or traveling girls go through this . Just the remaining emotions of shame , anger are enough but gratitude that I could of ended up worse . So please ladies be careful . As for the gentlemen this has been a problem for awhile for you guys. It always made me sad that this happens and we'll now I know how you feel
I think though . That Winnipeg is still a great city . That there are still amazing locals , amazing travelers and amazing guys . Sites like Leo's list etc . I still have had the opportunity to meet great men . So we have to just remain resilient and have faith in our local advertising sites etc . Why let a few people who I'm sure karma ( that's the hippie wild child in me ) will have a plan for . As much as I have disdain for those people, I hope that they one day realize the life path they are living and save themselves but getting off the meth
The boards are still the safest place to advertise though and for both hobbyist and sp, stick to your screening . I whole heartly agree
Thank you near and far for putting this up here as my post will get lost once it gets bumped down . That was very thoughtful.
This had been reported and they police said they will look into it . They were quite nice however they mentioned that they too are so overwhelmed by calls they receive by meth related incidents that if I even do hear anything it will take awhile .
And I did pm mod as to either switch this account over or please understand as to why I had to comment.
I hope and wish all of you a safe and happy day .
