Have any of you noticed that this year is in any way different than previous years? Normally for me things don’t really get going until February. But this year things have been non stop. Has anyone else had this, or something different? And what could be the reason as to why?

I run a bordello, so business is good for me year-round no matter how the economy is doing. People are always going to be horny.

I was busier at the end of 2018 than I have been in years and it hasn't slowed down yet.

We've been balls out for awhile and had one of our best years last year. It's not slowing down and our competitors aren't very competitive.

Last year was a record year for us. Usually things slow down in December and continue on this slow pace though January. However, things have not slowed down. It’s been picking up. A lot.

Yeah, that’s something I’ve noticed as well. We haven’t had any competition lower their prices in over a year.

Yeah, the oil sector has taken a hit. That side of our business has been slow. But not like it was following 2014. That was a complete shutdown.

Going? In what respect? Aren't you an oil & gas magnate? What are you seeing there????

I’m not sure what you mean. What do you think going means?
Yes, but diversified in 2015. I’m not going to say what I do exactly, but it has something to do with chemical plants.
Also logistics now.
Oil and gas is down, but that’s not due to the same reasons as in 2014. And this time around it’s not nearly as serious.
