9/1/2014 1:37:08 PM: Two months further along.  Have met and interviewed some local slaves/subs.  Not really what I want, but usable in the short term.  Seems that everyone, on both sides of the Dom/sub  scale, moans about how tough it is to find a good match.  Seems to me that there just isn't a perfect match for anyone, and that everyone has to compromise somehow, but maybe it's just a cultural thing to expect 'the perfect one'.   For sure, the interwebs make it SEEM easy, and sites like this sure put out the idea that anyone can just dial up what they want, as if sex and kink and love were just another page on Amazon, but it sure doesn't work that way when you get to the checkout page.

1/2/2013 8:37:00 AM: Still bugged by the sheer number of slaves out there that seem to think every Master can (and should) take them for 24/7 slavery.  Maybe there are a few Men out there who can afford to feed a slave, but in the long term, the slave still needs veterinary care and other things, and the cost adds up.  I'd love to have the resources to do it, but it just makes more sense for me to own slaves that have jobs.  I get the appeal of being removed from the world of mundane work and whatever, but just don't see how very many can make it happen.
