Sounds like you're forgetting that $ means 100 so add the next number to it.

They aren't saying the rate is too much. Ladies on here charge $200+ an hour. What they are saying is too much for the service you provide. When the Value of something Exceeds the asking price, price is no longer a problem. So ask yourself a question when you have returning clients or clients who done research on your reviews. If they are saying its too much money is it because the amount or the service (lack their of) that makes guys say that. I have no problem paying a posted rate for a provider if her level of service matches the going rate. That's why certain women on here can get $300+ an hour for her time.

They have this thing you can plug into your TV that has all the old Atari games. They have one for the Nintendo games too. You just plug it into the red yellow and white sound/video slots. It's pretty cool and cheap too.

The only $40/hr services I've found on BP (and I've looked a LOT) are foot massages. They are great, but all they touch are your head, feet and hands.

Ahh, I want one now. :-(

I've lost all my video games. The kids either broke them or traded them for "their type of stuff". I do miss the arcade sized Pacman and Astro Blaster. But the garage had other needs.

I did learn Basic while hacking Submarine on an Apple IIe. I also inherited my company's first network. 2-Apple IIs. They were used exclusively by our CEO. My job was to clean it up and sell it. There was nothing but games on it along with a note pad he could use to communicate with his assistant.

But if I had the pleasure of seeing you for an hour, it isn't my feet that I would want touched. It's clean too. Or, for $40, I'd just knock on your door, give you a hug, and talk a while. Heck, I'd even rub YOUR feet. Are you in?
