Last bang for the year Finally a lucky day
So decided to take a little trip last night thinking it's probably best to go before everyone gets off and the street gets busy with other hobbyists, LOL. And voila Haven't had this much ease and luck in forever. Literally the moment I got on K and started driving I saw this thin, pretty looking brunette trying to cross A, and as I slowly drove past and made eye contact, our eyes locked for a few seconds and I knew I hit a jackpot already. Sure enough she jumped on ship and after getting to know each other a bit we drove off and had an amazing time. Great musical skills and even had a little fun in the backyard. Said her name's GinaJo and doesn't have a number but have a facebook? I hesitated using social media so didn't get that down. BTW, who knew my little favorite corner was this popular, since a black mustang shot up at like 50/ mph and did a sudden stop right behind me as I was starting the main course. It took my off guard and definitely scared it was LE at first. But then within 5 seconds of parking I saw legs jumping to the backseat of said car and I loled. Geez you guys, don't pull up inches from someone else's parked car that had the exhaust on man. After some coffee break and recovery time, I did a second stroll and again, within minutes saw this cute blonde with a nose ring just getting onto the K on Tioga. She looked so normal that at first I wasn't sure but still pulled aside to see what's up. And sure enough she walked over and after a bit of a confusion because she thought I looked too normal to stroll we cleared everything up and off to the races. And man can Nikki play the flute. Definitely seemed like she enjoyed it since it was a non-stop tasting test for her. Took me sometime to finish but not even a single complaint. Said she doesn't have a phone yet so took down my hobbying number and said she'll text me once she gets a phone. We'll see if that happens. Anyway, haven't had this much fun with such ease and luck on the K in a while. Definitely makes it hard to not hunt around for gems. Now I just want to sample the infamous Ashley that's like a unicorn, LOL. Someone please share some intel on how to find that little mystical creature, haha.
A sobering moment, that's for sure
To get to the sobering moment, first a bit of the backstory. A couple of months ago, I spot a mid 20's spinner near Harrowgate Park, Tioga and Kensington. She was prettier than your average SW but I noticed immediately was she was wearing nicer clothing and make up. So I made the scoop and she was a solid, in terms of skills, provider with a clean shaven tight cooch.
In the ride to and from the spot, she told her name (or street name, whatever) Jess and she mentioned she lived with her mother. Now I been with SW's that were homeless, some in abandoned houses, others that couch surf but this was the first time I ever scooped a SW than was purportedly living at home. When she gave me her digits, I asked her what would happen if I called and she was at home, what would she say to her mother as she walked out the door after the phone call? I mean, isn't it rather obvious? She said, no problem, she would just say she had to run out to meet a friend.
Flash forward to last night, cold, windy rain to snow type of night and the inventory was light on K Ave. I thought, why do I keep these digits if I'm never going to use them so I contacted Jess with a simple; "are you around?" The message was immediately answered, My daughter passed away New Year's Day, please never contact this number again, signed her mother.
My heart sunk a bit, its bad enough her mother lost her child far too young but to keep the phone to admonish mongers looking for some action has to be a double whammy. For what's it worth, my guess is drugs, how else does a middle aged monger get a girl at least half his age to play his favorite tune on the ol skin flute for a mere Jackson? Answer; drugs. Moments like this make me consider retirement from this hobby.
Well She's back as I said she would be
To the delight of many that will read this Nicole is back on the strip. After sporadic sighting's around the Clearfield exchange the past few months, she is now back to her old area.
The last few days I have seen her from Venango down to Ontario. I did see her down as far as Madison on her way to the store. She's been wearing a dark long coat with a big fur collar. Her boots stand out well also as they are silver sparkle. Something that might be seen in the Mummers Parade. No doubt it is her she's higher than a raptor in heat.
Many of the mongers would trip over each other to get to her when she was last out. She does have a good rep as a top notch provider. So don't pass her up if the opportunity presents itself. Me, I'm just an 'OL Gator.
Morality, drugs, and commerce
Let's not pull punches.
We all know the k-walkers are drug addicts looking for money to feed an addiction. Every time we give a provider a bill, that bill goes into the black market drug trade. There's no rationalizing it any other way.
First, a disclaimer. I haven't been active for a while now. I'm in a long term relationship, and, historically, I haven't mongered while with someone. Following a divorce two years ago, I found myself on the ave a lot more, and I wasn't stopping after entering a new relationship. It was definitely addictive / obsessive behavior on my part. My current gf had a health issue which I initially took to be an STD. I panicked, went to the clinic (clean) and was terrified for a week. It turned out not to be STD related, but it was a moment of clarity for me; my risk was also her risk. I went cold turkey.
This isn't a high and mighty lecture. If not in a relationship, I would / will still engage in the hobby.
Anyway, I've thought a lot about this. At the risk of rationalizing things, the drug fueled SW market isn't what got that person addicted. Money we do, or don't give, likely isn't going to make a difference by the time they're on the street. The damage is done at this point, and I don't think there's much recovery. Yes, we're using them. They're using us. We aren't the root cause.
Those condemning drugs and / or prostitution aren't lining up with solutions. I don't know that there's a better option. The drug treatment centers available at this level are mostly scams to get insurance money. Us being there or not being there isn't magically going to solve the problem.
It's sad that so many have this illness, and we are certainly taking advantage of it, but I also don't think that the cause or solution lies with us; it's symptom. Maybe Im rationalizing, but I ALWAYS treated those I met kindly, with respect, gently, and honestly. Thats more than most in LE, glass houses, churches, etc. can say. Whatever issues they have, they’re still human beings and should be treated with dignity. By the grace of god go we, and we don’t know what they’ve been through. That said, yes...we were trading money for sex to fund addiction.
Who I do feel more badly / responsible for are those in the neighborhood having to deal with "this". That said, legalization would go a long way to fixing that issue.
