have any providers noticed a recent slowing down of bookings.....some of my favorites have said that the phones have gone dead over the last week......could this be dure to the taxman's annual visit??  And, if so, could that possibly mean an uptick in activity come tax refund time???

You know it, brutha. My tax refund will be going straight into the pretty little hands of some very deserving k-girls!  

Or make that the dresser shelf, I should say. I love the way they never touch, or even look at, the envelope while I am there. It definitely adds to the "forgot it was a service" feeling.
