There is a lot of information about the screening process in the self-help center, as well as a glossary. Yes, 160 roses just means $160. As for finding the self-help section, go back to the main forum and look in the upper right for a picture of a life saver. It's sort of to the left of where your username is and right above the link to post a new thread.

Here's a direct link:

After you have read the self help section, read back on this board until you can answer every question yourself.   No one can do this for you since you must filter the info through your own circumstances...  but the education from these sources is invalueable to those considering this hobby.

Thanks for the info - as luck would have it, right after I submitted the question, I found the self-help link, but I couldn't edit the post..  

A lot of info there but I intend to read it all to learn as much as possible so I'll be prepared when my first time comes..  I'm also saving up enough cash (slowly so wife does not notice any large withdrawals in case she happens to see the bank records) in order to get a very high-quality lady for at least two hours since I'll probably be nervous the first time and want a little time at least to help relax.

My problem with the employment part is I'm an accountant with a government agency - I hope this won't scare off any providers, I'm NOT law enforcement, I just want to be with a young, beautiful woman - and a call to our group secretary is dangerous since she is an extreme gossiper and busybody, even if the call is disguised as something else.  I do understand that it needs to be done so I can make up some BS if asked about it..
