			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>When I first began providing, I did outcalls only. (I worked for a service) After about 4 months, I dumped the service and began working out of my apartment. Then I moved and did incalls in hotels only, which is still how I operate. I'd like to go back to a private incall, but I do not want to use my home. So my question for the ladies with private incalls is how did you find and choose yours? How did you find a place that you'd go unnoticed, or a place that a landlord wouldn't mind what you were doing? Is it best to look for an apartment building with a lobby, or one with an outside entrance?</div>

<br />
Now that I am back, I am seeing a marked increase in requests for 30 minute meetings. Previously, I had so few requests that I removed this option from my offerings.<br />
<br />
As a business woman, this leaves me wondering... Is this a general change in the hobby economy? I know these things have a natural ebb and flow, but I like to offer what my clients want. <br />
<br />
Any comments from ladies and gents on what trends they are seeing in the hobby-verse would be welcome...<br />
<br />
Kisses, Claire</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I recently attempted to make a date with a new Lady (to me). She asked for references, which I was able to provide. As we emailed back and forth, I said, &quot;you know, I can't find any reviews of you and nobody I know has any info about you  :S....makes me a little nervous&quot;. I <u>think</u> (don't <i>know</i> for sure), she got a little &quot;pissy&quot; over that. :(<br />
  As I see it, I provided the names of several Lady's to &quot;vouch&quot; for me. It's like I had 24 +/- reviews. I don't think it was out of line for me to ask for something to verify her ???   What do you say ?</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><font size="4"><font color="Navy">My friend is in school and has a project for her creative sales class she needs some help with. I am sure you all have heard of the story &quot;one red paperclip&quot; where a guy traded and traded starting with a paperclip and ended up with a house. Well she needs to do 15 more trades with 15 strangers. Each time trying to trade up or at least keep a $10 minimum value.<br />
<br />
so far she has gotten up to a LED flashlight so this will be an on going thread til we can get 15 strangers to her (you can know me its ok lol) willing to trade with her.<br />
<br />
As the trade changes I will update here what is next to be traded<br />
<br />
I know there has to be at least 15 of you willing to play along to help her graduate :) <br />
<br />
what ever she is left with at the end of the project will be auctioned off and the funds will be given to the foundation for student scholarships.<br />
<br />
So let get this started does anyone have anything they are willing to trade for a LED flashlight, either post here or send me a msg and i will get you in touch with her. <br />
<br />
thank you <br />
hugs Veronica<br />
<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hello to everyone is still here, I hope all is going well.<br />
<br />
I've been away for a while, but have looked in periodically to see how things are going here.  I see that the board seems a bit more quiet.  But over all, I like the feel, and see a lot of great providers posting ads.<br />
<br />
I have a few things to share here.  I will do my best to stick to the facts, and share just a minimum of my thoughts on what went down.<br />
<br />
There are those who will probably want to call bullshit on this, or come in and get their shots in.  Whatever.  I know I have my haters - probably many more than when I was running the board.  <br />
<br />
In the Fall last year, I had come to a point of not wanting this life anymore.  There were big changes going on in my personal life, and demands at work both of which did not resonate in any way with what I was doing here.<br />
<br />
This was not long after the TRB resurrection.<br />
<br />
I was feeling pretty isolated, in spite of the team I had assembled, and saw only two options.<br />
<br />
Choice #1:  Shut the board down.<br />
Choice #2:  Have Veronica take it over.<br />
 <br />
The idea of shutting the board down did not appeal to me at all.  First, there were so many people here who loved the board, and had made their home here.  Second - I'm just too damn competitive to even entertain the idea of &quot;throwing in the towel&quot;.<br />
<br />
From my perspective, at the time, turning the board over to Veronica was like playing the trump card.  I could get out clean, and know that someone who had run another board competently (THH -a board that I liked) was going to take my baby forward and keep it in the game.<br />
<br />
It was a no-brainer.  So I moved forward with this.<br />
<br />
Tammy absolutely hated this idea.  I couldn't understand why at the time, and tried to get her and Veronica talking, hoping that they would find a way to work together.<br />
<br />
Then things seemed to settle down as we started the process of transition.  It was not absent of the requisite board drama, but that was all.<br />
<br />
Then, one day, I get an IM from Tammy.  She was telling me that she was no longer going to take collections at the lunches for Veronica.  My first thought was, &quot;you'd taken collections for me at lunches many times over the past year, so what was the difference!?&quot;.<br />
<br />
Before I knew it, I was getting texts and emails from both Tammy and Veronica, basically dragging me into the middle of it.  Now I was already beyond burned out at this point.<br />
<br />
As far as I was concerned, I'd turned the board over to Veronica.  It was her board for better or worse.<br />
<br />
Now, if it is me running the board, and someone who is supposed to be helping me turns on me, I cut them loose.  Veronica thought I could talk to Tammy.  But from where I was standing, there was no talking to her - she had pretty much made up her mind that she was not going to work with Veronica.<br />
<br />
Moreover, she was going to do whatever she could to make trouble for Veronica.<br />
<br />
My advice to Veronica - &quot;Fire Tammy&quot;.  Because if I'd been in her shoes, that is exactly what I would have done.<br />
<br />
After that, I bailed completely out of here.  I had wanted to stay around and work on the site a bit longer, but I felt like so much shit for having to get into the middle of that and make the hard decision.<br />
<br />
For a short time, I found myself questioning the decision to turn the board over to Veronica.  I kind of felt pulled in two directions and went through some conflict. <br />
<br />
But in the end, I looked back and saw a pattern here at Top Hat that had included my predecessor being brought in, followed by myself being brought in, and then at last, a successor who was almost brought in.  <br />
<br />
I felt used, to some degree - as in who's agenda was being served by my being asked to take over when Tele was leaving?<br />
<br />
It is just now that I'm reading some of what went down immediately afterward.  Glad I missed it back then.<br />
<br />
Getting back to my regularly scheduled life...</div>
