			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have a pap smear scheduled for May 3<sup>rd</sup>.  My period is due to start on April 24<sup>th</sup>.  I figure that if I get enough sex and drink enough red wine during my period it should be over in time for my pap smear.</p>
<p>There are gentlemen who have a fetish for women on their periods.  If you are that gentlemen you better hurry and contact me soon for an appointment.</p>
<p>My periods always go smoother if I am having enough sex.  I get so tense and sensitive during my time of the month.  Are you feeling tensed up?  This is a great way for us to help each other.</p>

<p>            Rice and beans are a staple.  They go well with just about any meal.  You can even eat the two alone.</p>
<p>I am out of dog food and cat food.  The dogs ate the rice and beans with no trouble.  The cats feel that they are too sophisticated for such a thing.  Well then they are not hungry.  The rice and beans will be available in case they change their minds.  Rubbing your furry sleek body against my leg is not going to make the cat food magically appear.  LOL!</p>
<p>8:17am central:  I just woke up at 8am.  I went to bed at about 8pm.  It had been a long day and I needed sleep.  I would have continued to sleep through the alarm but I could hear my Pitbull trying to kick out the door of his crate.</p>
<p>No mam sleep must wait.  I crave for more sleep but must get up and tend to my responsibilities.</p>
<p>Yesterday a neighbor (she is about in her 70’s or 80’s) lectured me on how I needed to walk my pitbull by himself.  I felt like telling her well “maybe you should quit smoking since you are a cancer survivor.  Save the money you buy on cigarettes and buy me that much needed dog harness that you feel that my pitbull needs so desperately.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The power of the full moon is still effective three days before and after its completion.  So full moon madness can last a good six days.  Some women even start their periods during the full moon.<br />
	Earlier today, I had to walk some errands.  I had to pay for my internet and light bill.  I got caught in some rain sprinkles so I took a break for a bite to eat and some coffee.<br />
	I wish I had not overheard the conversation close by.  The young man tried to be discreet and pull a chair close to his girlfriend and was asking when her first sex experience was.  He just had to know and I could tell that she was getting annoyed.  Geez why does he have to ask that at Chick Fila?!  LOL!  There is the car and wait hey you ever heard of a bedroom?!  LOL!  I felt like getting up and telling him to grow up and telling her to hold off on getting serious until she finished college.  Good way of screening out the bums like this loser.  I would have also told her to enjoy sex with as many guys as possible too and that she should never feel obligated to be under scrutiny of anyone or reveal her how many sex partners she has had.   That is nobody’s business but hers.   Life is too short.  Have fun.<br />
	No, I did not do the above but it was a thought.  Good thing I never had any children.  I would be hell on wheels or in jail.  LOL!<br />
	It is 3:13pm now and I am going to take a nap.  I have 2am to 9am webcam shift tomorrow.  I will be here &#8212;-   http://www.flirt4free.com/search/?query=Mikki<br />
	Landlady wants $500 by Monday Mach 12th then another $500 by March 16th.  I really need help and I hope that I can get some appointments.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>	I find it amusing when I walk my Pitbull that people run like Hell.  I have watched men that are twice my size turn white as a sheet and almost break their necks to get away.  My Pit is a big mama’s boy.  Even though I love him to bits, I do keep my guard up.  I always keep him on his leash and I would never leave him alone with a child or my smaller animals.  He is my first Pit and up until three years ago I was terrified of Pitbulls and believed they were all killers.<br />
	Well I moved to another location and met a neighbor with a really sweet dog.  He was so loveable and playful, I though wow I want a dog like this.  I asked my neighbor what kind of dog was it and he told that it is a pitbull.  I could not believe it because the only pitbulls I had seen were on television and looked mean and abused.<br />
	Anyways, I needed some maintenance done in my home so the maintenance man came over right away.  He likes me and we chit chat a bit.<br />
	Well, he told me at the door to please put the Pitbull away because he was afraid of the dog.  MM walked in and boom my poodle attacked him.  LOL!  My ten pound poodle bit his hand and broke the skin.<br />
	Word to the wise.  Just because the dog is small does not mean it won’t take a chunk out of your ass.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>	Last night I went to bed early.  It was about 7pm for those of you who are curious.  I needed to get up at 1 AM so that I could work on a research paper.<br />
	I am also trying to condition myself for my evening shift for webcam work.  This week I will be online from 2Am to 7 AM (Central).<br />
	This morning I received an appointment request.  I answered it promptly and the sender sent me back this email message.  “Don’t you ever sleep?”<br />
	One of the popular misconceptions about providers is that all of us are up all night partying.  Even when I was younger I was never much of a night owl.  Yes, I did my share of going out and staying up late but it was never a big part of my life.</p>

<p><strong>I still need to get my pitbull and poodle neutered and inoculated.  So if anyone out there is reading this and is a veterinarian then please contact me so that we can work something out.</strong></p>
<p><strong>If you take care of both dogs then I will owe you 40 hours of companionship.</strong></p>
<p><strong>If you take care of one dog then I will owe you 20 hours of companionship.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I have had people try to give me more animals and I have declined.  My allergies and finances cannot handle any more animals unless someone wants to buy me a ranch.  LOL!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Pay My Rent Special. Incall Only. Hwy6N/West Rd.Houston,TX 77095</strong><br />
My rent is $700 a month.  It is due on the 1st of every month.  If you pay my rent then I will give you 4 hour credit of my time for free.</p>
<p>I hope to hear from you soon.</p>
<p>xoxo,</p>

<p><strong>Amazon Gift Card Special! Incall Only. Hwy6N/West Rd.Houston,TX 77095</strong><br />
I had an idea.  As many as you know I have just really discovered the benefits of Amazon.com in</p>
<p>December 2011.  Ever since then I have been on the website almost every day adding things to my wish list.</p>
<p>Then I had this wonderful idea.  What if I offered a special where the client could email me an Amazon</p>
<p>Gift Card and I could subtract from the total of the cost of the session?  That is right if you get screened</p>
<p>and set an appointment then email me an Amazon gift card then I would subtract the amount off whatever</p>
<p>session you choose. If you choose a $400 session for 2 hours then you could send $100 Amazon Gift Card</p>
<p>then -$100 could be deducted off of your $400 session.  If you choose 1 hour for $200 and send $50</p>
<p>Amazon Gift Card then the $50 gift card will be subtracted from your session.</p>
<p>Amazon Gift Cards can be received before you arrive to your appointment by email or you can bring it</p>
<p>when you arrive to the session.  I will verify the card before the session begins.</p>
<p>How do you get screened?  Well you can either have at least 5 reviews on a review board (You will need to<br />
pm me from that bored to verify that it is you) OR  have at least 5 okays</p>
<p>on Preferred 411 OR go to my website and follow the screening process.</p>
<p>I look forward to meeting you soon.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Mikki Fine<br />

<p>Hello there my future Handy Man!</p>

<p> 3.  New cabinets in my kitchen and bathroom</p>
<p>4.  In my kitchen and bathroom, I also want wooden tiling on the floors.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2012 Inaugural Address</p>
<p align="justify"><strong><img src="http://www.houstontx.gov/mayor/images/mayorparker200x300.jpg" alt="Mayor Annise Parker" width="200" height="300" align="right" border="1" hspace="10" vspace="10" />Mayor Annise Parker</strong><br />
<strong>Inaugural Address</strong><br />
<strong>January 3, 2012</strong></p>
<p>I love this city!</p>
<p>I thank Houstonians for again honoring me with your trust, your hopes. To serve you remains my highest aspiration.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I congratulate our City Controller and our City Council Members. This is a Council representing the amazing diversity of our city, with two new seats to reflect our increasing population. For all our differences, we share the values of faith and <a id="_GPLITA_2" title="Powered by Text-Enhance" href="http://www.houstontx.gov/mayor/inauguration2012.html#">family</a> and community. Those values will unite us as colleagues.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I salute, and thank, the women and men who make our city run. I know that the city&#8217;s workforce is one of the best anywhere. I see them every day; I know many of them &#8211; and I know the commitment they have to doing a good job. A global metropolis like Houston operates 24/7. It is a complex organism that requires intricate coordination and choreographed actions. We rarely notice the smooth workings of this city &#8211; how much of it goes right.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>But running a city is like riding a bicycle: you keep moving forward or you fall down. We rode long and far during the first term in office, and I am proud of what we accomplished together. But sometimes it helps to put things in perspective.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This August the City of Houston was 175 years old. And we are America&#8217;s 4th largest city. Thatss a pretty amazing fact. We are a city that by conventional logic should not be. We were founded at the confluence of two muddy streams meandering through the flat Texas coastal prairie in 1836. It was hot, humid and the land was dotted with ponds of stagnant water where mosquitoes bred in abundance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The city was rife with yellow fever for the first 60 years of its existence. There were no veins of gold in the earth, and precious little oil or gas. No scenic vistas. No sheltered harbor.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Well the mosquitoes are still here…but today we are <a id="_GPLITA_0" title="Powered by Text-Enhance" href="http://www.houstontx.gov/mayor/inauguration2012.html#">home</a> to the largest medical complex in the world, world capital of the petroleum industry, and the largest foreign tonnage port in America.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We pioneered the artificial heart, and revolutionized heart transplants. We are the home of NASA. The first word spoken from the moon was &#8230; &#8220;Houston.&#8221; (And one day the first word spoken from Mars will be &#8220;Houston!&#8221;)</p>
<p>Everything we have done as a city has been a matter of vision and will, of taking what we have and deciding what we want, setting an impossible goal, and then creating it. Vision, commitment, hard work and a leap of faith.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why Houston, in the middle of the recession, is still the number one job creating city in America and the best place to live, work and raise a family. And that’s why we must do even better in the future.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>My number one job for the next two years is to continue to bring more jobs to Houston. We will expand the programs we have already started to stimulate small business with access to loans and <a id="_GPLITA_1" title="Powered by Text-Enhance" href="http://www.houstontx.gov/mayor/inauguration2012.html#">training</a>. We will continue the Hire Houston First policy. We will work tirelessly to increase our role as the energy capital of the world and a world leader in the next high tech industrial revolution.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hard times prompt us to chart the latitude and longitude of who we are. Hard times test our character. The economy still dominates every conversation, and colors everything we do. Too many Houstonians are struggling to find jobs, to make ends meet. Our city workforce has also felt that pain. City employees have been furloughed, and more than 750 were laid off. We are doing more with less.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>But &#8230;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We did not raise taxes. We did not mortgage our future with debt. We did not compromise public safety. We did not lay off a single firefighter or police officer. Many of our civilian employees stepped up and volunteered additional furlough days to help save the jobs of their colleagues.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We took bold steps to address our aging infrastructure &#8211; finally recovering the full cost of this precious asset, emphasizing conservation, and setting aside funds to complete long neglected maintenance. In doing the responsible thing, we unknowingly prepared ourselves to be able to respond to the worst drought in our history.</p>
<p>And I cannot envision voters in any other city in America, in the midst of a recession, doing the right thing, the prudent thing, and creating the funding to invest in critically needed flooding and drainage infrastructure. This is a visionary step akin to that in the 1950&#8242;s and 60s which created lakes Conroe and Houston and secured the water rights which sustain us today, or the commitment to set aside land and other incentives to encourage medical institutions to locate together and so lead to the largest medical complex in the world.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As we navigated this city through the toughest economy in generations, I built my administration on 5 pillars, and focused the work of the city around them:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Jobs and sustainable development,</li>
<li>Fiscal responsibility,</li>
<li>Infrastructure,</li>
<li>Public safety,</li>
<li>Quality of life.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Those will remain our strengths &#8211; there is progress yet to be made on pension security for both the city and our retirees, an independent regional crime lab, phasing out the city jail and progress against homelessness &#8211; these are challenges we are committed to address and have already begun.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Two years ago I asked of you three things: I asked for your prayers. I must have had them, for though I knew there would be challenges ahead, those challenges seemed to grow in depth and severity each day. It is telling that the task I had feared would be the hardest, redistricting, was actually one of the easiest and most successful.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I asked for your patience. And I suspect that we tried it at times. But I have always believed in a principled compromise that achieves progress.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And I asked for your perseverance. We rise and fall together. We succeed or fail together.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And you have shown that through your deeds. You have committed your time and energy to Houston. You, the people of Houston, have collectively given more volunteer hours than ever in our history.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When Fast Company magazine selected Houston as the City of the Year for 2011, there was a reference to us as “one of the world&#8217;s next great cities&#8221;. Houstonians know that future is already here. It is the blessing and curse of Houston to never be satisfied with where it is, to always be reinventing itself. Ours is a city of opportunity and optimism &#8211;never stopping at why we can’t do something, but always seeking how we can get it done.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We are a city that knows how to turn potential problems into possibilities.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We dream great dreams, but then make them happen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Whether you find your strength in God, in family, in friends, or in your own two hands, Houston deserves no less than our shared vision, our firm commitment, our hard work and a continued leap of faith.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Let us greet our future together!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Christmas Day, I was surprised to find an Amazon Gift Card in my email.  It was from a client who I had seen before.  I enjoyed it so much that I thought to myself why not let my clients know that they can purchase and email me a $50 Amazon Gift Card when settling the $50 cancellation fee.</p>
<p>Not everyone is familiar with Greendot Money Packs.  It can be a bit confusing for a gentleman who is already nervous about visiting an escort for the first time.</p>
<p>It was my first time shopping with Amazon with a gift card.  It was really neat.  I found things for my home, clothing and items for my pets.  It was a great online shopping experience.</p>
