With regard to previous postings/comments on the board regarding provider fees, negotiation of fees and general activities among hobbyist and providers. How do we feel about about those rates for services rendered (collectively)? Let us please presume that the best service require the best fee (expected value) and that we have the means to participate. Is it an economic reality that we are unable to, or are restricted in our activities due to cost?

I find that I am not seeing providers like I used to. I would like to see at least 2 ladies each month but find I have to keep it to about 2 every 6 months or so.  Between the rising cost of gas, and everyting else along with the job jitters we must all be experiencing I am slowing down my hobby fun
