I was wondering, now that summer is over (because business is usually down during summer months) is your business down from previous years due to the economy/stock market/gas prices that have been hurting us all. I was just wondering when I saw the stock market drop another 700 points yesterday how it was effecting our community.

to some degree.  With the cost of gas and other necessary items flunctuating.  I think all of us are nervous because of the recession.  The stock market dropping even makes it evident that we are on the brink of a depression.

And unless our elected officials in DC find a common ground and fix the economy very soon, this hobby and many other business ventures are gonna be in BIG trouble...

When a guy like Jim Cramer says that without a bank rescue plan to move these mortgage-backed securities and loosen credit that 20% unemployment is in the works, I listen...

I have stopped counting how much I have lost this year. I am in it for the long run. I could not resist looking on Monday. I was down about $9000 in one day. Today I was up $4300, but still down $30,000 for the year.

its been the same. I don't work as much as a lot of the ladies on the boards because I have a full-time accouting job and I am on a limited time frame.

I did however lower my rates because of the economy. I know I wish prices in gas/food/etc would go back down and they are not.

I figured for my loyal clients its nice to help them out. And for gents who haven't seem me this is a way for them to might want to.

A lot more ink than I'd normally like, but somehow (must be your body!), still a very sexy photo!  You're a lot hotter than I imagined...who knows we might even meet one day.  PM or email me ([email protected])...you might be interested in what I do for a living

Anyways, thanks for the "rise!"  Love that pic.
