Same as I've been hearing.
[QUOTE=Jem411;2118054]I know that what I am about to post is really none of my business, and I am not trying to condemn or berate anyone. Everyone's experience is different, even with same providers. I see about 8 - 9 ladies with somewhat regularity. I keep hearing the same thing from them, it seems to be slow. What I hear even more, is that mongers are scheduling appointments and not showing, not calling, not staying reserved time and wanting refunds, arriving and trying to negotiate a different rate, and I've even been told about a couple just out right not paying after their dream was completed. I am not trying to take up their cause or trying to protect them in any way. I also know that providers cancel with little or no notice, and make us wait a ridiculous amount of time before responding when we're sitting in the parking lot somewhere waiting on a room number. I just think all involved, providers and mongers, could do a better job of remembering that we are all human beings and that we need to treat each other with respect and consideration. Just something to consider. And again, I'm not trying to start any arguments from anyone and am not calling out any individuals. We all know how we act and treat others and how we should.
Now that I got that out, it sure is great to be back in the states. Happy and safe mongering everyone.[/QUOTE]I hear the same story from a few provider friends I know as well. We all know shit happens sometimes that can't be avoided. The few times I have had to cancel last minute or had a miscommunication, I usually make it up later. Some providers I know do the same. As you stated, I'm not trying to be the protector or defend anyone. This sure is not the golden age of the hobby in Knoxville and I am quite positive our lousy Lady Mayor has shifted our scene here during her reign. I feel all in the hobby need to remember quality and quantity are low for now and we need to secure the relationships of the few good people in town and communicate better when problems arise.
And gain, thanks to all who report and support the hobby.

Traveling to the Asian Isles again
Hey all,
I am starting to plan another visit to the Philippines for some are&are. I plan on going in Oct for 20 days or so. If anyone is interested in joining the adventure, feel free to pm me for details. I never go with a full plan, more of just an Idea and it's always flexible. I do visit some local friends for a few days at. But It's nice to have some company for barhopping adventures and different ideas for the hunt.
Tell me when you find that program.
[QUOTE=Jem411;2118101]I'm addicted to it. I try to see 4 a week. A few weeks ago when I found the Royal, I saw 11 in six days. Sometimes I get in that animal mode and can't help myself. I probably need to seek out a twelve step program. Maybe not, pains not great enough yet. Keep grinding![/QUOTE]I don't have that kind of money so I only do 2 a week. I have been known to jump on a few extra grenades a week if I get the chance for free. I guess as long as I see a head bobbin on my knob, I'm not terribly concerned how they look.
