Question about provider demographics.

[exnykr]

One of the reasons why I think there are so many providers in Texas is...
Theres not much else to do in Texas.......unless you like to shop at the malls...
Which leads back to why there are so many providers in Texas

Here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about folks from Texas ...

If someone in a Lowe's store offers you assistance and they don't work there, you may live in Texas ;

If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you may live in Texas ;

If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you may live in Texas ;

If 'Vacation' means going anywhere south of Dallas for the weekend, you may live in Texas ;

If you measure distance in hours, you may live in Texas ;

If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you may live in Texas ;
If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both unlocked, you may live in Texas ;

If you carry jumper cables in your car and your wife knows how to use them, you may live in Texas

If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph --you're going 80 and everybody's passing you, you may live in Texas ;

If you find 60 degrees 'a little chilly,' you may live in Texas ;

If you actually understand these jokes, and share them with all your Texas friends, you definitely live in Texas ..

Here are some little known, very interesting facts about Texas .
1. Beaumont to El Paso : 742 miles
2.. Beaumont to Chicago : 770 miles
3... El Paso is closer to California than to Dallas
4.. World's first rodeo was in Pecos , July 4, 1883.
5. The Flagship Hotel in Galveston is the only hotel in North America built over water. Destroyed by Hurricane Ike -2008!
6. The Heisman Trophy was named after John William Heisman who was the first full-time coach at Rice University in Houston ..
7. Brazoria County has more species of birds than any other area in North America
8. Aransas Wildlife Refuge is the winter home of North America 's only remaining flock of whooping cranes...
9. Jalapeno jelly originated in Lake Jackson in 1978.
10. The worst natural disaster in U.S. history was in 1900, caused by a hurricane, in which over 8,000 lives were lost on Galveston Island .

12. King Ranch in South Texas is larger than Rhode Island ...
13. Tropical Storm Claudette brought a U.S. rainfall record of 43" in 24 hours in and around Alvin in July of 1979...
14. Texas is the only state to enter the U.S. by TREATY, (known as the Constitution of 1845 by the Republic of Texas to enter the Union ) instead of by annexation. This allows the Texas Flag to fly at the same height as the U.S. Flag, and may divide into 5 states.
15. A Live Oak tree near Fulton is estimated to be 1500 years old.
16. Caddo Lake is the only natural lake in the state.
17. Dr Pepper was invented in Waco in 1885. There is no period in Dr Pepper..
18. Texas has had six capital cities:

19. The Capitol Dome in Austin is the only dome in the U..S. which is taller than the Capitol Building in Washington DC (by 7 feet).
20. The San Jacinto Monument is the tallest free standing monument in the world and it is taller than the Washington monument.
21. The name ' Texas ' comes from the Hasini Indian word 'tejas' meaning friends. Tejas is not Spanish for Texas ..
22. The State Mascot is the Armadillo (an interesting bit of trivia about the armadillo is they always have four babies.. They have one egg, which splits into four, and they either have four males or four females.).
23. The first domed stadium in the U.S. was the Astrodome in Houston .
24. Texas has more providers and hobbiest than any place else.

[Guest010511-2]

i am worth more than i post and most of my awesome gentlemen kno it and take care of it. its not just about looks, its about being with a lady that makes a man feel like a man. Its about comfort and style, grace and character and about a gentleman being happy to donate what the lady asks and thinkin shes worth every penny and then some. the gentlemen i see r absolutely awesome and they r true friends! in the end it is not the "donation".... im 320 so if you want 150?.....more power to ya and have a great day. And the world goes round and round!

[Austin Liv]

Thank you, Nicolette; that was priceless. If I was the forwarding type, I'd send that to all of my friends here in Texas.

[youngatheart]

Colette,
Beautiful AND a student of trivia. Very impressive.

[rekcaSxT]

Niccolette, that was a GREAT post on the trivia, but one little thing. It is well over 1,000 miles from Beaumont to Chicago.

I don't have a problem with anything else. I hate to be an "actually" person, but being 300 miles off is a pretty big oops.

I am sure you copied that from an email or something so I don't blame you.

i feel sorry for the guy(client) Thought I better clarify that since they both where originally guys.

On this infamous board in South Florida, Some of the girls can become very unclassy, uncivilized and very unlady like.

Btw, i got quite a chuckle from your quote about paramedics in your signature line.

I feel that it is to risky to chance losing those you gained in that exchange. Although, if you are looking for less clientele I believe raising one's rates would be appropriate and something I feel all ladies have thought of and/or have planned for.

After reading this back to myself, I feel I may sound like I am rambling. Enjoy!

I think that as long as gents behave, the price structure a lady sets can be a powerful, personal tool. She is able to have advertised rates and special rates for special clients.

Actually, the comparison is generally Texarkana/Chicago/El Paso....and it is further from Texarkana to El Paso then it is from Texarkana to Chicago.

But the one thing most Texans have learned, is to not let a little bit of facts get in the way of a good story.

I can't tee it up for you any better than that DG.

I figured that since you can't get on the preferred list, and you're in financial ruin due to Bush...the least I could do was give you a free shot.
