So, who here is still willing to provide their time and service, and the clients willing to go see them, even during the weekend of the great Hurricane? Will it stop you guys, or no?

Maybe it is hype, maybe it isn't. So far the news and some worry-wart people stress that it's serious. Rumored evacuations, transportation system closing, etc.

Yet all now nothing has happened. But who knows, maybe tomorrow something would pick up. It'll be funny to me though that so many people took a lot of preparations and precautions, only for nothing too serious to happen.

I just wanna know who would stop at an escort's doorstep drenched in rain and a broken umbrella with tree branches over himself and say "am I late for the appointment?"

Hey SHIKA, wait until around 6 or 8:00 am. Then you will understand why all the hype.

I was saying the same thing, "Why all the fucking hype?" Every fucking news channel was spewing this shit ALL WEEKEND LONG!!! Then I did a little homework because I knew there were far worse hurricanes that came through the region. Didn't find Isabel, but I located Floyd. Much stronger. I guess what really pissed me off was that every NATIONAL news channel decided nothing was more important than the East Coast. (Executive decision: whatever happens in the rest of the world we'll catch you up on it after this storm destroys - how many, 60Miliion? - lives and we film it. Thanks!!). Scum-sucking leaches. I do admit the huricane did fuck up the East Coast, especially Vermont (got family up there, actually) but it didn't warrant 72 HOURS OF COVERAGE!!!!

Exactly what I've been trying to say for almost all weekend. I'm sure some damage was done, but what hurricane doesn't? Oooh strong winds and some floods, I was outside most of the time. The precautions were almost too exaggerated.

Anyway, this topic was going a tad off base. I was just curious to know who would still be seeing the escorts during the whole storm.

Now that would have been a treat, being stuck with an escort during a hurricane. Well, now that I re-evaluate the situation, it probably wouldn't be gravy for any of us, lol

caught your previous post. You painted a funny picture. Dude's paying with wet Benji's asking for a blow dryer for his jeans. She's got a kitchen full of wet money line-drying. LOL!!! The reality behind the fantasy always finds a way to rear its head

The Old Guard was on the job walking their post at the Tomb of the Unknowns. That is the most dedicated Unit in all of the military. They don't take a break, hurricane or not.
