Swing and a Miss
Just got the latest issue of Playboy USA (yeah I subscribe...big shock there). Anyway they have a pictoral...The Girls of Putin's Russia. While the girls are certainly attractive I could easily put together a dozen girls from CC that are far more beautiful, sexy and could put a lump in your pants quicker than anyone. Maybe I should write them and suggest a girls of CC pictoral?
Dollar talk
One host asked me what was wrong with the dollar. I told her it was related to the price of oil. I am not sure if I was correct. But I feel the dollar will become stonger toward the end of the year. So please be patient.
RE: Dollar talk
as usual wtf, your honest opinion as you like to call it has no bearing on reality
RE: Dollar talk
Thanks for setting me straight again. I will call up my graduate school economics professors and tell them all they are dumb asses. I wish I could grow up and be as witty and cool as you man.
RE: Dollar talk
Sigh. You can include our imports of expensive foreign oil and the lower interest rates and returns in US finanancial markets as part of the trade imbalance explanation.
You should go back and bitch slap your kindergarten teacher. She should never have let you advance to the first grade.
1. Balance of trade: Otherwise known as the current account balance, the trade balance is equal to the difference between imports and exports. The US has been running a trade deficit with the rest of the world for most of recent memory. At $2 billion a day and growing, the trade deficit is making foreign investors increasingly nervous and can affect the dollar significantly.
2. Falling prices on foreign goods: When the prices of foreign goods decrease, they become more attractive to American consumers, creating a larger trade deficit. Conversely, a rise in the prices of foreign goods, through natural price inflation or because or increased demand, can make American goods look more attractive and help to narrow the trade deficit. This also supports American industry and the economy. All of this serves to help the dollar.
3 Balance of investment: When the US imports more than it exports, it means investors from other countries have to buy US assets to keep the dollar from falling. Simply stated, if the US imports more than it exports, foreign investors must buy dollar-denominated assets like bonds or treasury securities in order to offset the difference.
This are and continue to be the major forces behind the dollar valuation problems currently and for the past several years.
Class dismissed.
Except for you very cute Russian girls in the front row. See me in my office.

RE: Dollar talk
problem number one is that the price of foreign good are not now nor has it been rising.
secondly, the value of the dollar is only dependent on the balance of trade.
lthe reason so many economists are teachers is that there is no other real way for them to earn a living since economics and finance aren't the same thing
and finally even though ur most recent explanation is better thasn ur firs, ur first was implying that it was due to the price of oil is a fabrication since the price of oil is pegged to the dollar and not the other way around
now take ur infantile insults and stick them where the sun will never shine mr; kinder, gentler

RE: Dollar talk
Sorry, but I hold the opinion of graduate professors in much higher esteem than some tosser on a forum on a porn site.
Why you "experts" care at all to opine ad nauseum about such topics here, I have no idea.
Point me to a forum where you're discussing the subject with people who actually know their stuff - now that would be impressive. This, here, seems nothing more than a sad little pissing contest.

RE: Dollar talk
your number 3 is both simplistic and not exactly what is going on
you have also failed to take into account interest rates which currently has been in the forefront of the falling dollar
and if your argument regarding foreigners buying treasuries due to some need to prop up the dollar, why is it they are threatening, though not loudly, to pull their investments due to the low interest rates
they are currently buying US assets, such as corporations and real estate, because they are dirt cheap to them due to the currency exchange. while american real estate investors sit on the sideline because prices are too high, to foreigners they aren't since they get to play both for a hope in a rise of the asset value in the future as well as making a currency play on a future sale after a rise in the dollar.

RE: Dollar talk
You have it backwards. Right now, the falling dollar makes the price of oil go up because oil is priced in dollars on the world market.
Think of it this way, if the dollar goes down in value and oil was $100/barel before it went down, would you still only want $100 for your barrel of oil now that that $100 is not worth as much? No, you would want more for that same barrel of oil. This, by the way, is why the fallng dollar causes inflation in the USA. (All of this gets more complicated when thinking about countries outside of the USA and what they pay for oil since the value of their currency relative to the dollar becomes a factor.)
Now, the price of oil could affect the dollar instead of the other way around if the supply of oil is reduced or the demand for oil goes up. If one or both of these two things happen, the price of oil will increase even if the value of the dollar stays the same. This price increase will cause a slowdown in the U.S. economy which could cause the government to reduce interest rates if the slowdown was dramatic enough (although for oil alone to cause this slowdown, the price would have to jump a lot). The reduction of interest rates would cause the value of the dollar to fall relative to other currencies (unless other countries reduce rates at the same time).

RE: Dollar talk
I am not sure what you mean.
His post was as follows:
"One host asked me what was wrong with the dollar. I told her it was related to the price of oil. I am not sure if I was correct. But I feel the dollar will become stonger toward the end of the year. So please be patient."
1. He never actually asked a question.
2. His post seems to imply that the price of oil is causing the dollar to fall.
3. I responded to the implicit question about whether or not he was correct, and I answered, "No".

RE: Dollar talk
While I think that is much more likely that a falling dollar would cause higher oil prices than it would be for higher oil prices to cause a falling dollar, it is theoretically possible that rising oil would lead to a falling dollar. I do not think that rising oil prices all by themself would slow the economy down without a very huge increase, but higher oil do contribute to a slowing economy so theoretically the government could respond with lower interest rates which would then lead to a lower dollar. Of course, then oil would rise even more so there would be a vicious circle created.
The U.S. consumer drives 2/3 of the U.S. economy so if the consumer is spending more on gasoline, then he has less money for other items. The same negative effect results from increased shipping costs due to higher diesel fuel. If it costs more to ship something, then sooner or later it will cost more for the consumer to pay for the shipped item since the increased shipping cost is passed onto the consumer in time. The rising price of the shipped item will cause less items to be purchased and therefore slow the economy. (Remember, just about everything is shipped by truck sooner or later.) Even when the consumer turns to substitute items that cost less, the fact that more money is being allocated to oil versus other items will slow the economy. And even if prices do not rise, companies will need to save money to pay for higher fuel costs by doing things like laying off workers which means the average consumer has less money to spend so the economy will slow. Therefore, rising oll and gas prices negatively effect the U.S. economy and could cause the government to reduce interest rates.
The problem of course is that reducing interest rates will further cause an increase in oil prices since oil is priced in dollars and make the problem worse. The hope would be that the increase in economic growth that results from an interest rate decrease will more than offset the rise in oil prices. The governement hopes that any inflationary pressures will be more than offset by the increase in economic growth that the lower interest rates produce.
Anyway, this is all a big mess and probably would never happen. While I think it is theoretically possible for rising oil to cause a decrease in interest rates and therefore cause a lower dollar, I doubt that oil would cause such an occurrence all by itself. Rising oil prices are much more likely to be the result of a falling dollar than they are to be the cause of a falling dollar. And in any event, we don't live in a world where only oil prices change and nothing else does. Oil would almost definitely be one factor of many, not the sole factor that led to slower economic growth.
Okay. I just gave myself and everyone else a headache. And to be honest, now I am confusing myself. There are so many other factors at work in all of this as well. Mr. "Well" touched on some of them for example.
Will a real economist please take over? Of course, if economists really understood anything, we wouldn't have the problems we have and 1000000 different opinions about how to fix them.

RE: Dollar talk
one point is correct, the continued lowering of interest rates has dropped the value of the dollar which has increased the dollar price of oil
but a drop in the price of oil does not a stronger dollar make. too many other factors in the value of the dollar

RE: Dollar talk
what about an increase in the supply of dollars in circulation?
how much money did the fed pull out of its ass to bail out bears stearns, exactly? and how much of an influence on the value of the dollar would that have had? and, is money materialized out of the blue like that often?
thanks in advance for satisfying my curiosity.

RE: Dollar talk
I don't know enough about the issue you raise to give a good answer. It would seem that adding money to the system would hurt the dollar; however, I bellieve the fact that the Fed has taken strong action actually supported the dollar by giving people more confidence in the US economy. In fact, gold and commodity prices dropped sharply for a few days as a result. Nevertheless, worries about inflation and a slowing economy quickly resurfaced so the dollar declined again after rising for a few days.
Earnings for the first quarter are starting to come out this week. If they fall short of expectations, look for a drop in stock prices and the value of the dollar, and a rise in oil and commodity prices. If earnings are signifcantly worse than expected and economic growth declines more than expected, people will be lookng for a bigger interest rate cut later this month than the 1/4 -1/2% that is currently expected so this will affect the dollar negatively as well.
(By the way, theoretically, the economy could slow so much that the demand for oil would decline to the point where the price of oil would actually decline, but I don't think earnings will be so bad that this will happen. We are stuck with a weak dollar and high oil prices for a few months. After a few months, there should be some signs of relief on both counts.)

RE: Dollar talk
oil is actually overpriced not just because of the dollar but additionally speculators keep running the price up on the futures market
interesting that with oil over $100 gas prices haven't gone even higher

RE: Dollar talk
the purpose of loweing the interewst rates was to flood the market with cash to shore up liquidity and hoping the banks would loan money/ without the banks loaning money the economy isn't going anywhere
ufortuntely with the potential for more writedowns the banks are hoarding cash due to the possibility of having to boost their reserves
as for how much cash the government can print.....unlimited or so the economic theory goes, which is why government securities historically pay the lowest interest rates. theoretically the government cannot go broke..and yet would someone remind the government it is broke

RE: Dollar talk
I never got into the idea of how to make the dollar stronger.... Just talking about the falling dollar was difficult enough. But true, a falling price in oil would not by itself strengthen the dollar in all liklihood. Again, it is theoretically possible that a dramatic drop in prices would help the economy grow fast enough to cause the government to raise interest rates and strengthen the dollar, but this scenario seems very unlikely.

RE: how to show ppl that i really care about them and that they are my friends?
i think a little more information is necessary to be able to give useful advice. Most people would react positively and warmly to being told they are really liked and considered a friend....unless they have reasons to be cynical of the other's motivations in saying these things. Tell me why your friend might have cause for cynicism about you, and then I may be able to advise.
RE: how to show ppl that i really care about them and that they are my friends?

He sounds very needy.

did he prove to u that he is your friend?...i think not..so why does he need proof from u of being your friend. i think real friends dont need any proof of friendship and anyway u wrote here for advice so it means u really care about him...so my advice is try showing him how much u care about him say nice things to him sometimes but its imortant that its how u honestly feel and finally u both need time for friendship to grow stronger so be patient
RE: how to show ppl that i really care about them and that they are my friends?
It's curious...
I had exactly the same situation your friend is having with you.
This person, a host here on CC and other sites, made me believe she really cared about me and liked me. She asked me many times to trust her and believe her. She told me she knew it's online and it's hard to believe and trust but wanted me to try. She said so many things...
After 1 month and a half, she started to act different, talk less, almost nothing, always giving me fake excuses to explain why she changed. Told me she had a lot of problems and told me she had needed to work very much and to make money on sites so she had to talk more to members... Everyday, she gave me a different reason. And you know, when a person gives so many different reasons in so many different days... none of those reasons is true.
A little later, one night, she said she hate online because it's not real, and told me she said the things she said to me and wanted me to trust because she was stupid, I was stupid, and everything between us was stupid because she's not real, I'm not real, and it was not real.
Finally, the last things she said in her last e-mail were that I was cheating myself with her, with that online relation and with everything. Some lovely words she told me were: "For me online is my job and thats it. and i cheated myself too, chattin with u that first month. i dont want to. too many things to think bout in real life. i know ur good and kind and nice person but there s no place in our lives for each other". Lovely, isn't it?
After stopping talking anymore, I saw she only worked 1 or 2 days each week (excuse me, girl, didn't you say you needed to work so much because you really needed to make money very much???). And a few later, I found she has a boyfriend (nothing serious, she said to the guest she was talking too).
So, the conclusion is: she used me all the time, until she found someone to fuck with, and after that she didn't need me anymore and didn't care at all about me.
I can't give you any advice because only you could know how could you prove something to him. But (and I know you're not going to like what 'm going to say)... no matter what you do. Sooner or later, you'll stop caring about him and talking to him.
By the way... your name begins with "O"??? Aren't you the same person I talked about? :p

Do this:
Be real, get pissed off and tell him how you feel about not trusting you.
If he cares for you he will say sorry and try to understand you, if he doesnt care for you he will be sly.
So just try to open up to each other and talk it out like normal human beings... Aint that what relationships all about? =)

I will spend 30 free minutes with each host. I will then reach my decision and announce it in a few weeks.
I will volunteer my paper towels, socks, and soap and water to clean myself up. I will also supply the lub so that I do not get sore from friction.
And remember, I must spend 30 minutes with all the hosts, even the ones I find unattractive or even disgusting so it will not be all fun.
This seems like a fair deal.

I received this from a friend who had a choice to make. It said that I had a choice to make too.
I've chosen. Now it's your turn to choose.
The story goes that some time ago a mother punished her five year old daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and she became even more upset when the child used the gold paper to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.
Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift box to her mother the next morning and then said, "This is for you, Momma."
The mother was embarrassed by her earlier over reaction, but her anger flared again when she opened the box and found it was empty. She spoke to her daughter in a harsh manner.
"Don't you know, young lady, when you give someone a present there's supposed to be something inside the package?"
She had tears in her eyes and said, "Oh, Momma, it's not empty! I blew kisses into it until it was full."
The mother was crushed. She fell on her knees and put her arms around her little girl, and she begged her forgiveness for her thoughtless anger.
An accident took the life of the child only a short time later, and it is told that the mother kept that gold box by her bed for all the years of her life.
Whenever she was discouraged or faced difficult problems she would open the box and take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.
In a very real sense, each of us, as human beings, have been given a Golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family, friends and GOD. There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.
You now have two choices:
1. Pass this on to your friends, or
2. Delete it and act like it didn't touch your heart.

I've chosen. Now it's your turn to choose.
The story goes that some time ago a mother punished her five year old daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and she became even more upset when the child used the gold paper to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.
Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift box to her mother the next morning and then said, "This is for you, Momma."

There are few straight guys who are online pretty regularly and I doubt they would be doing it for free. Ask them. I am sure the vast majority of members are men looking for women but you never know when your wife might log on looking for some action.

Hey austin, I talked with cc about that,but it seems that you need a cam (which I don't have) to make it work

well slutpuppy,,,, I cant do it anyway,, I'm afraid to show my body--(shy) but if you need a cam, I know a great deal were you can get one free.

It's not that hard, i've done it many times. And not just in cam, in person too.
RE: to economists
Hi Vera -
The US Dollar will rise when the Federal Reserve raises US interest rates (not likely in the next year or so) or the British Central Bank or the European Central Bank cuts British or European interest rates (more likely). If there is an option to get paid in Euros, choose to do so. I am an American and I tease my Company that I want to get paid in Euros (or oil, or silver) ;)
Please stay well.

RE: to economists
The European Central Bank and British bank could start cutting rates as early this summer, and almost definitely by the fall. The U.S. Federal Reserve will stop cutting rates very soon. This will help the dollar.
If you are expecting a dramatic increase in the dollar, I doubt it will happen any time soon. The U.S. economy will be slow for awhile so U.S. interest rates won't increase too quickly, and at the same time, the Europeans are much slower to decrease their rates.
But I would not expect too much change in the dollar this year. Maybe by the end of the year it could be a little higher. Perhaps 1 euro will equal around $1.50 by the end of the year. And by the end of 2009, 1 euro could be around $1.40 or so.
I would look for approximately 5% increases in the value of the dollar each year until 2011. A euro should be about $1.50 or so by year end, $1.40 or so by the end of 2009, and $1.35or a little less by the end of 2010. I expect a dramatic increase, maybe about 10% in 2011 to around $1.20 or so and a 5% increase in 2012 to about $1.15. But then the dollar will start going down all over again. However, since the world is supposed to end in 2012, I wouldn't worry about it. :p

RE: to economists
For the value of the dollar or the end of the world? :p
Obviously, I am just guessing about the value of the dollar. But I base my guesses on watching a lot of business commentary and reading articles. The U.S. economy will slow for a few months and then start to rebound. The rest of the world will follow, not as much as in the past, but still is trongly linked to what happens in the U.S. Then it will take about 2 years for the subprime crisis to end and home values and consumer confidence and spending to increase to significantly higher levels..... So, I put things like that in the mix, hope there isn't something major like a terrorist attack or extreme oil shortage, and take a guess just like everybody else.
In terms of the end of the world 2012, I don't really believe that stuff, but it does get my attention when I see the state of the world and then hear that several major religions, various prophecies, the end of the mayan calendar and things like that all point to around then, and of course an album by Rush. Hope it is just a big coincidence. :p

RE: to economists
No, but perhaps we need a study on the length of "life lines" on people's palms. If they seem to be getting shorter and shorter, then we will definitely know we have a problem. :p
In terms of science, I think that as we get closer to actually cloning a human (I think that it can already be done or something recently happened in the news that says they are close), if there is a God, He will finally say "Enough!" and that's it for us.
Eve and that damn apple! Just like women take our money, they will be the ones responsible for the end! Stupid tree of knowledge! Ignorance is bliss!! I hate science!!! :p

RE: to economists
The sub-prime crisis will end within a year...the after affects will carry forward for some time to come. Wall Street still has some cleaning house to do but values have never been based on underlying asset strength more perceived value than anything else. As a trader we live for volatility, when volatility slows the dollar will rebound in the short term.
RE: to economists
well at some point they may be forced to write down the asset values at least for the commercial real estate which they have not done and is potentially a larger crisis. then there is still the looming credit card crisis, but hey the banks are only carrying 942 trillion on the books there, which why they are so desperate to separate those divisions

Looks of Disappointment
A man was just waking up from anesthesia after surgery, and his wife was sitting by his side. His eyes fluttered open and he said, "You're beautiful." Then he fell asleep again.
His wife had never heard him say that before, so she stayed by his side.
A few minutes later his eyes fluttered open and he said, "You're cute."
The wife was disappointed because instead of "beautiful," it was now "cute."
She asked, "What happened to beautiful?"
The man replied, "The drugs are wearing off.

Question for hosts only
Why don't answer in free chat? Why don't say hello? Is it so expensive and boring? Is it a strategy to push members to go in video? It doesn't work very much, only makes angry.
RE: Question for hosts only
do u know that cc tells us to ask hosts in free chat what we want before going in because some hosts refuse to do some things so u will know before paying.
so if free chat is used in a good way you should answer at least for 5 minutes talk

RE: Question for hosts only
Surely it is only polite (even of the viewer) to chat in free first and not to just jump into the video. some of the hosts here work on other sites at the same time and may already be in video ;)
Alos better for both because the host may not be there at the time so both miss the oppotunity of a nice show/chat.

RE: Question for hosts only
I make special sessions only to chat! I chat for hours!
As CC program doesn't include the possibility to start similar sessions. I make all the possible to tell the member that he has not to click the video button, I clarify that in my session title, I raise my video min. price to the maximum allowed price.
When I decide to make a video session, I choose my video member from my previous chatters, I make with him a nice coded private show , here the program of CC is perfect nobody can enter unless he has the cam password nothing can disturb us, no chatter can enter the free text chat. I ensure that my door is well locked!

RE: Question for hosts only
It's funny to read the answers, specially from hosts who have 2 rooms and don't turn off the second when they are in 121, No answer then in text chat, but what would happen if u go in 121 in the opened room? Twice 121? 222? lol
RE: Question for hosts only
Hosts don't close their other sessions much of the time when members are in 1 to 1. This is a violation of the rules as it is unfair to members. I haven't spent $1 here in over 4 months because of issues like that. But the forums are fun sometimes.

There once was a religious young woman who went to Confession. Upon entering the confessiona l, she said, "Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned."
The priest said, "Confess your sins and be forgiven."
The young woman said, "Last night my boyfriend made mad, passionate love to me seven times."
The priest thought long and hard and then said, "Squeeze seven lemons into a glass and then drink the juice."
The young woman asked, "Will this cleanse me of my sins?"
The priest said, "No, but it will wipe that smile off of your face."

Caller: 'Yes, I think so.'
Operator: 'Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall.
Caller: 'Yes, it is.'
Operator: 'When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one??'
Caller: 'No.'
Operator: 'Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable.'
Caller: 'Okay, here it is.'

Caller: 'I can't reach.'
Operator: 'Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is??'
Caller: 'No.'
Operator: 'Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over??'
Caller: 'Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle - it's because it's dark.'
Operator: 'Dark??'

Tech Support: 'O K . Right-Click again. Do you see a pop-up menu?'
Customer: 'No'.
Tech Support: 'O K , sir. Can you tell me what you have done up until this point?'.
Customer: 'Sure. You told me to write 'click' and I wrote 'click''.

Tech Support: 'O K . In the bottom left hand side of the screen, can you see the 'O K ' button displayed?'

There's always one. This has got to be one of the funniest things in a long time. I think this guy should have been promoted, not fired. This is a true story from the Word Perfect Helpline, which was transcribed from a recording monitoring the customer care department. Needless to say the Help Desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the Word Perfect organization for 'Termination without Cause'.
Actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee. (Now I know why they record these conversations!):
Operator: 'Ridge Hall, computer assistance; may I help you?'
Caller: 'Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect.'
Operator: 'What sort of trouble??'
Caller: 'Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away.'
Operator: 'Went away?'
Caller: 'They disappeared.'
Operator: 'Hmm So what does your screen look like now?'
Caller: 'Nothing.'
Operator: 'Nothing??'
Caller: 'It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type.'
Operator: 'Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out??'
Caller: 'How do I tell?'
Operator: 'Can you see the C: prompt on the screen??'
Caller: 'What's a sea-prompt?'
Operator: 'Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?'
Caller: 'There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type.'
Operator: 'Does your monitor have a power indicator??'
Caller: 'What's a monitor?'
Operator: 'It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on??'
Caller: 'I don't know.'
Operator: 'Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that??'
Caller: 'Yes, I think so.'
Operator: 'Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall.
Caller: 'Yes, it is.'
Operator: 'When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one??'
Caller: 'No.'
Operator: 'Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable.'
Caller: 'Okay, here it is.'
Operator: 'Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer.'
Caller: 'I can't reach.'
Operator: 'Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is??'
Caller: 'No.'
Operator: 'Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over??'
Caller: 'Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle - it's because it's dark.'
Operator: 'Dark??'
Caller: 'Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window.
Operator: 'Well, turn on the office light then.'
Caller: 'I can't.'
Operator: 'No? Why not??'
Caller: 'Because there's a power failure.'
Operator: 'A power........ A power failure? Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now.Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in??'
Caller: 'Well, yes, I keep them in the closet.'
Operator: 'Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from.'
Caller: 'Really? Is it that bad?'
Operator: 'Yes, I'm afraid it is.'
Caller: 'Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them??'
Operator: 'Tell them you're too f---ing stupid to own a computer!!!!!'

I remember my first week as tech support, one of the first calls I got started with, "I just poured water into my monitor! What do I do?!?" I had her make sure the cord was dry and unplug it, we let it dry out a few days then tried it and it worked fine. In the long run the monitor out lasted the computer.
