I realized/learned many things about providers since coming into this hobby, to many to mention as you stated, I’ll say this though, we depend on “our favorites” for the touch or however anyone cares to say it, they too come to depend on us, especially when we have a special bond with them, I had one a couple years ago, maybe three years ago, she had a girl friend come visit her from California, my favorite took a week off from work, needless to say she earned no money that week, she asked me to join her by giving her visiting friend a ride to the airport since she wasn’t sure how to navigate to and from, this was a provider that up to then had only provided R&T, I drove fav back to her shop afterwards, she told me she needed money, bills were due etc, she spent most of her cash while her friend was here, she told me “I’ll do anything you want”, it was a nice offer, at the time I didn’t take her up on her offer, kinda felt as though I was taking advantage of her in a time of need, I made a generous contribution to her, yet declined her offer. She and I had been out to eat in the past, usually while she was at work and the eatery was next to her shop. She offered to make it up to me during my next visits for no more than HF, I never obligated her for my helping her and still tipped her accordingly for extras even though she owed me, she did begin to do more than R&T during sessions.
