Maybe it’s just me but I would be nice to get some feedback from providers as well as hobbyist.  My friend Terra who has a background in accounting says she recognizes the curve she is seeing as the beginning of a recession.  What do you all think?  Girls are you slowing down? Guys are you calling on us less frequently?
Thanks for you input.

Wait A Minute!  Is this an Economics Forum?!

Quick, someone call the Federal Reserve Bank!  We've just found a new Economic Indicator!

First, retail sales are still strong. But the economy is so gas and auto-industry dependent that just making these segments nervous is enough to make even OC yuppies curb discretionary spending. Fortunately for you and Terra, you're in a highly impulsive market. And sites like TER provide free distraction to stressed out professionals on whom you can work your magic.
 Second, as to girls slowing down, just remember: Nothing cuts through the clutter like a red latex skirt.
 Third, I have been out of circulation for many months and am looking fwd to dinner tomorrow. I believe you're on the menu...
 Finally, you don't have to thank me for the input until after I've given it to you, twice at least, in all the right places.

Just a thought: with the stock market and housing values at all time highs and even the government now reporting that their tax receipts are making historic peaks, recession can't be at hand.

But with all due respect, perhaps providers' fees may have gotten a bit ahead of the curve. Don't forget, just 5 years ago, a date with an upper end girl ran $150. Today, it's $300-$400 plus. Even gas or Starbucks can't match that run up.

Not to get political here, but that cut in income taxes a few years back has proven itself in spades. Maybe a slight cut in our "fun tax" may also spur a bigger splash.

so it should get better. Esp. as summer comes. The market over all with always flow in and out with the tide.
OX,

demand for the elastic nature of providers' panties? Creates a softening market for the softer parts, as it were?  Contraction of the market contracts the market for the contracting parts of....

SLOW! My landscape contracting is way off. Have to pay last years tax on so far a bleak '06 income.

somethings are always worth making time for, and you ms Teal are a peach. or a fish.  I forget exactly how many lightbulbs it takes.... or was it licks?  It must have been licks.  I am a turtle.  Occasionally a walrus, but never a recession.  Just don't say that.  It crawls back and doesn't want to come out.

What about me?

Coo coo ka choo

Lots of times I'll check out reviews here and at scasp, then think, "Damn, $400!"  Then I'll google up some porn, take matters into hand, and feel like I just made $400.  If you don't spend it, it's like making it.

Or else I go to TJ for 60 bucks.

Since I need to get off at least once a day, usually twice, it was getting out of control just to find a source of friction...

I do still hobby in the family here, but on more special occasions.  14 times a week was not a happening thing..

Not to mention ya look around these days and everything on 2 legs is charging the 300 - 400 premium with no reviews no nothin.  For the providers that have reviews that support the donation sure.

My time constraints kill me.  Ive been looking for a couple weeks and the location and time for me is really important.  Noon time delights in and around UTC are my deal.  Pretty tough for my restrictions.
