We have a heated birdbath in our yard and it's the first year we had it. No matter how cold it's been the birdbath has never frozen over. Needless to say there are a lot of birds in our yard and many bathing and frolicking in the bath. Normally they scatter at any noise, doors closing, us coming and going, virtually anything. I drive up and park and there's a bird perched on our metal fence, no big deal and I expected that the bird would split right away per usual. This bird didn't budge as I walked by. I continued on for a step or two and stopped because it just seemed weird that said bird hadn't moved. So I walk back and take a look, it appears that the bird is frozen to the fence. I have no clue what to do next and get quite close to see for sure. The bird just goes limp like it's had a heart attack or stroke and it now appears a dead bird is hanging upside down by it's feet or claws still frozen the fence. I figured I just get a bag and dispose of said dead bird. For some reason I thought it would be unsightly to take the body and leave it's feet frozen onto the fence. So I take off my gloves and start to lift the feet off the fence, the first comes off easy and now the dead bird is hanging limp by one foot. I get the second foot off the fence and as the bird drops to the snow, except it doesn't.......boom it was gone in a flash. Seeing the playing possum thing was pretty neat. A bird in hand......literally :) Peace MG

A way for people who actually know what they are talking about can express and share their opinions. http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/cons/curr-cours/proscons-conspros/index.html#2014--02--17

I don't use email as a contact method because it's just 'too available' for anyone to use and a way to hide behind something. I always ask people who want to see me to call me even if they initially text. Psychic abiilities run in my family and I have a very strong intuiiton and sixth sense. I am very good at reading people, their body language and their voice. I know within 30 seconds in a phone conversation if I want to meet them or not. I base it on their tone of voice, how they speak to me and the questions they ask. If I don't like what I'm hearing, it's a no go. And I've also had those big bells go off and I listen to them. No exceptions. When they show up, at that point I am reading their body language and if they can't make eye contact or acting in a weird manner, I know they have something to hide. If something is making me feel uncomfortable and I can't put my finger on it, I will ask them to leave. It hasn't happened often. There are some people I haven't clicked with and wouldn't see again but they didn't make me feel so uncomfortable or felt as though I were in danger that I had to cancel the appt. I am pretty good at adapting to people so I just go with it and be professional. I don't judge on looks. Politeness, cleanliness and respect towards me goes a long way. I deal with many different personalities, fully accepting this and can adapt to it well while still being able to offer a nice encounter. If someone lies there like a dead fish or isn't interactive ( sometimes they just want to relax which I understand), I make the best of it. If someone is pushy or rude/disprespectful in certain ways like using rude language towards or doing something I don't like, I warn them. If it gets worse, I tell them it's not working out and ask them to leave. This is rare because I usually can tell over the phone beforehand esp with the type of questions where services are concerned such as the laundry list of acronyms. When people are rude or don't respect women in general, it often shows up indirectly in the phone conversation. I am very good at picking up on those things. I am a nice person and I have a lot of patience so someone would have to really do something incredibly wrong on their part for me to get very upset. I'm assertive but not in a threatening way yet I don't tolerate bullshit or allow someone to disrespect me. If a person no shows me or acts nonchlalant like my time isn't worth anything, I will make sure not to bother with them again. Act like a gentleman and there are no problems. If a person has done something and crossed the line, there is no going back even if an apology is issued. Their true colors have already been shown. I don't give second chances. It's ultimately their loss.

I learned that I have family who will help me in my time of need.

I have been "know" for my love of women. I am truly bisexual and only offer duo with people that I have physically attraction to and people tha tI have meet prior at least for a drink or coffee I currently have two duos partner in Toronto, one is my real life partner ( since we are in confession time...we've been dating for numerous month and she is pretty awesome :D) The other was with an agency at first, but when she went indy I started to flirt with her on twitter and making hint about meeting...we went for supper then ended up back at my place. After the sex...hey wanna do duos together?

many of us have multi hour dates available. Some think this is for a sex a thon. It really isn't. It for such things as dinners,movies whatever you want to do. Holding hands, and PDA are of course included. What we decide to do on our multi hour date is up us..

When I came to cerb I had just recently left a very bad relationship and prior to that I had been involved with running escort services. Not good times:( The people I'd dealt with then were deceitful, cruel, troublemakers. So my attitude wasn't the best. What I've learned since then is that men can be so wonderful, fun and exciting and so can some of the women in this business. That this business is fun and way better as an indie, not everyone has an agenda and you can get paid for sex and truly enjoy it-that's not a bad thing ;) I have also learned I have way more inner strength than even I realized:)

Swan said the law should target the demand for sexual services while helping sex-trade workers get the addiction counselling, mental-health services and training they need to get off the streets. I think I'm going to throw up. This comment is completely disgusting. I might have to join Facebook and tell him so. Everyone in Manitoba should be online completing this survey. It's a public consultation by the Justice Department on the future legislation. Have your voices heard! http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/cons/curr-cours/proscons-conspros/index.html#2014_02_17

What is sexy? It's the twinkle in the eye and the playful smile. It's being able to laugh at yourself and be ok with that. It's confident and intelligent and playful. It's being yourself even if it's not popular. It's a long t shirt and no underwear, leather gloves playing with a nipple. It's that kiss that promises more, it's the ability to be IN the moment with someone and going anywhere it leads. It's being able to make others feel special without sacrificing someone to do it. It's touching and being touched and having words whispered in the heat of passion. It's the taste and feel of someone you want and crave. It's the curve of a body, and the little personal things that someone does when they think no one is watching. It's love and acceptance, risk and vulnerability. And it's all the little things that are personal to us that make our stomach flutter, our pussies wet and our cocks hard. What is sexy? Everything!

The Canadian Government, more specifically the Department of Justice, just launched a public consultation on "prostitution-related offences". It looks like the window will be open for one month, from today (February 17th) until March 17th. You can provide feedback via email at [email protected] or anonymously via their website, online at <http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/cons/curr-cours/proscons-conspros/index.html#2014_02_17>. Bombs away...

Saw a reference for this on twitter today. Following is a link to a justice survey on the need for new sex laws in Canada, and I think we should all encourage a many people with similar views to fill it out. http://justice.gc.ca/eng/cons/curr-cours/proscons-conspros/index.html

I follow this amazing woman on Tumblr and many times she is telling stories about her family. She was discussing Valentines Day with her 8 year old who basically summed it up as a day to show love to others not expect it to be given to you. Taking this very much to heart and with her daughters help, she put a note on her Tumblr saying that for every person who sent her a personal note that day she would do a random act of kindness for others. Some of the things she did were to buy bunches of brightly colored bouquets and give them to a nursing home to distribute to those with no one on Valentines Day, took $1, a bag of microwave popcorn and a card and tape them to redbox movie rentals machines in her city, paid for coffee for the people behind her in a drive through. Bought target GC's and had the cashier distribute them to the next customers and the list went on. She must have done 100 of these or more that day. Each act had a handwritten card by her daughter saying to have a nice day and enjoy love a stranger. She posted throughout the day what she was doing as each person who sent her a message was attached to one act. It was an incredibly positive day and very heartfelt and I know made me smile numerous times. This was a grand scale but it doesn't take a lot of effort to mean a lot.

For my 22nd birthday I did 22 acts of kindness. I honestly haven't told anyone about it lol I was kind of shy about it. Basically, I figured I was lucky to have made it twenty two years and I wanted to do one nice thing a year for that privilege. I wrote then all down in a book somewhere but I don't have it anymore :( what I loved about planning it was that I made sure that everything I did was free or close to it. I didn't have much extra money then and most of what I saw online required money. It was challenging but so rewarding to find ways to do the most with what I had. So what did I do.. I bought a beer for the town drunk, paid for a candy bar for the clerk to give to the next kid that came in, left change in a school yard, wrote a letter to someone that influenced me to thank them, send a handmade craft ( it was a sign with a pretty quote) to a random person out of the phone book she ended up being in a nursing home. I baked for neighbours and cleaned my ex's car etc I was out if town this year and super busy with work but I regret not doing it again. I want to make it a tradition

For me it would mean that she wants to know its you that's calling or texting. It's a good thing. :icon_wink: 1-as long as your sparkling clean that's what matters. To me anyway. 2-I prefer in calls. I feel more comfortable. Out calls to a nice hotel are fine too but I won't be going to a motor inn. Yuck! Going to a clients home is a no no for me unless I know him well.

Means she liked your company, and would like to know it is you when you call again. I do this all the time. Sometimes, only clients that I have already met are the ones I choose to have visit my incall location, this way I know have met you, you were nice and welcomed back. Some gent's will get upset if they are in your contact list with out permission. I never put the real name, I use nick names or cerb names only. Like " cool guy" or " book again" etc.. Additional Comments: I suggest you send a copy to the SP before posting it. You may have had a different experience with her then what she normally offers. I like reviews that state more about my hostess skills, my location, the sent of my skin, the way I made you feel rather then intimate details of certain things we did.

So, to pile up a bunch of stuff... A simple desire for sexytime with sexy people, and an aversion to... complications. A bit of everything, but I tend not to look at ads much until I've already decided to see someone. But pics, web presence and recos have all sent me to see people. Pics are the least reliable, but... I've just seen a truly irresistible smile... All the time! That's half the point of this - I can think that, and book anyway! Mind you, I've seen some eye-watering rates, and those people are truly beyond me. Yes. You just accept it and have fun some other way. I've been surprised by how normal everybody is, how strong the community hereabouts is, and how much the ladies look out for each other (mostly). No. I wish I'd started long before I did. My younger self needs a good smack with a clue-bat. Once I'd started, I was OK, mostly because I'd done quite a bit of reading here first. There was a huge amount of good advice then, too. This is what the scam/warning threads and CK's diary are for. In the case of theft, I'd certainly consider getting the law involved. But I've never actually experienced either (this is a useful site :) ), and I honestly won't know until it happens... which, with luck, will be never. Yes. One of the great things about this, for me, is the ability to see people I'd never normally even meet, much less get into bed with. It matters. Some peoples' comments matter more than others.

My first experience was with a Massage Provider and I had invited her come to my home. I greeted the lady at the door and I told her to make herself comfortable in the living room while I get our tea. (Yes I said tea - I do not drink). Then I went into the kitchen. The next thing I know is that she has crept up behind me and is now completely naked. Boy was I shocked and speechless. (I had not seen a naked woman up close and in person like that in ten years) She gave me a big grin and said, "What, you told me to make myself comfortable." I never knew it could be that easy to get a women to part with her clothes. Especially on the first date -- and within the first 5 minutes. Needless to say that was one memorable experience. I wish someone had told me what it meant if you told the lady to make herself comfortable. Then again, what a wonderful surprise to learn it the hard way. That was three years ago.

For me, it has been staying true to myself. Trying new things, knowing that this industry is constantly changing and embracing change and the things I like. I myself am never judgemental and open-minded and adapt well to change and new experiences, I can't say I don't enjoy something if I've never tried it at least once. I revise my business plan, goals, experiences I provide and marketing every few months to see what works and what doesn't and I learn and grow as a companion by doing so. I have lots of fun and enjoy truly being a companion and the experiences I have and the wonderful people I get to meet. I take being a companion very seriously and love that I never have the same repetitive experiences daily, while exploring my sexuality, sharing apart of me with amazing people and enjoying what I have to offer. Being a companion has been the best career choice I have made thus far and I'm happy and proud of my choice and my decision to be a long term companion. I have left numerous times for University and when I became a Mother but I somehow always come back and love it more each time. This business allows me freedoms to enjoy life as well as run my other more vanilla business, I'm not wasting the degree and certifications this business has afforded me to attain and the life I enjoy.

A few things for me...guys that don't come showered and sparkling clean. People that play games with us..example: booking and no showing. People that think we are all on drugs...AND last but not least ..dick pics...lol

http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/province-urges-feds-to-use-nordic-model-on-sex-trade-245655561.html Hey fellow Manitoban's - this is worth writing to your MPs and MLAs about. You don't need to out yourself as a sex worker or client, and you can encourage your representatives to take a human rights, evidence based approach and ensure that sex workers are consulted in the decision making process.

Honestly I think most guys here start with the looks so I may be less likely to book with someone who does not attract me... that said some ladies have made me interested by what they have written even though they were not my normal type.... but let's face it we are talking about only differing degrees of beauty here. For ladies that I have met and gave an ongoing relationship with i really don't think I would care if they gained 20 lbs... if i am seeing them regularly I can tell you it's as much of more about the personality and character of the lady as it is about looks. After all what would I do if all the women of CERB only saw guys who were young and in shape. Just my opinion Additional Comments: Well of course I Love the Great Sex but surprisingly for me anyway I think the companionship and friendship are what I love most. What I hate is the fact that all the beautiful CERB ladies can tell time.... if only I was their sole source of info on how long we had been together lol. Seriously I Hate the secrecy both for me and them Additional Comments: I stay... i enjoy the time with the beautiful lady way to much to leave early. Ok...ok... i know most of you are probably thinking... that's easy for him to say... i saw his earlier post about not always being able to deliver during encounters... so yea...lol... it will undoubtedly take the full time...lol Just my opinion Additional Comments: If I post on a ladies profile that I would like to meet her I am being 100% honest. Sometimes that does not happen right away because of distance but if was in the same city I would follow up.... if she visited St. John's... i would normally try to book.

I try to practice random acts of kindness everyday I always hold the door for others I smile at strangers I pass on the street I let others enter the elevator first I always say please and thank you I acknowledge the caretakers in the building where I live and thank them for the job they do I take the time to find out the name of my server in a restaurant & acknowledge them with please and thank you I take the time to ask the clerk at the store how his/her day is going I do not care if the person acknowledges it or not. I just hope it is contagious - even if the person only does it just once. Oh what a wonderful feeling....

On My way into work this morning I noticed a man had drove his SUV almost 4 or 5 feet up a snow bank, and he was quite stuck...Two other neighbors had out their shovels and they were all trying to help this man out of the snowbank

I was out and around this morning, still in my wheelchair. I am very lucky because through experience I am very confident and capable with it, however sometimes there are issues. We have had a LOT of snow of late and even with all the plowing and salting, parking lots still have that little skim of slush. Well, put that little skim of slush together with an ever so gentle up-slope and the fact that I don't have snow tires on my chair I was having some difficulty. A lovely lady approached and asked if I could use some help and she got me over that little section. People in PEI tend to help each other and hold doors for each other and to look out for each other anyway but when I am out in my chair it becomes even more obvious. Makes me feel good.

The only person this gives a mixed message to is the guy in a bar that thinks a woman dressed provocatively "wants it" and is "asking for it". When someone says "no extras", it means "no extras". Nothing mixed about that at all. Now, "no extras ;) " is not a mixed message either, but the other way. I hate these threads, like guys trolling massage therapists, looking for one that will bill Blue Cross for their happy ending. With all the SP's and MP's out there, surely you don't need to chase after and try to convert a masseuse that flat out says "no extras" do you? Here's a mixed message - she states "no male brazilian" as part of her esthetics services. Certified esthetician also providing waxing and shellac nails (No male brazillian) If she won't wax on down there, why think she will wax off?

I think the Conservative government would really rather not legislate on this issue. This reminds me of the hysterical reaction last year when there was a technical issue on dealing with gay divorce and all the opponents of the Conservatives jumped on the issue and claimed that the Conservatives were just itching to abolish gay marriage. Instead, the issue fizzled mere hours later when the government announced that the laws would be updated to encompass gay marriages. Harper isn't interested in promoting conservative issues, as he's shown again and again with the abortion issue, gay marriage, etc. He is interested in winning elections. Coming down with heavy legislation won't do that--it will just appeal to the Conservative base, who would vote Conservative no matter what.

Living in a small town, my clients prefer to visit in my home. For about a month, not long ago, I had to go to hotels as I renovated my location. I lost about 3 appts in one week. One fella walked into lobby, saw people he knew. He ended up leaving with them for supper hahahaha, others just would not come. Too scared to see people they knew or the car being spotted. It was a hard month, people just did not want a hotel room. For the OP, yes sometimes ladies share space. I for one never worked where I lived, I paid for a separate apartment, so regardless apt rent has to be paid and so did my real apt rent. So yes I kept same rate as if I was in hotel. I did not like apartment buildings, as neighbors were a major concern. Also whenever someone has a "problem" with me they just send my ads to my landlord, then I find a note on my door! lol... Now I bought a house with an apartment on lower level. Some ladies will rent my space when they are in town, so yes they keep the rate as if paying for hotel too. Although renting my space is half the rate of a mediocre hotel, their rate doesn't change as we have to stagger our individual appointments. Therefor the volume is a bit lower too. One lady that rents space from me prefers it here cause I also feed her breaky and supper, lmao, Bed-n-breakfast style hahaha. But her clients prefer it too, and we are honest about the fact I live upstairs so that they are not sketched out if they hear my foot steps.

I've learned that you never know someone 100%, but by talking you can understand better his/her position!

I went the escort way after my divorce and some failed attempts at dating. While I did want a woman's touch, I wasn't ready to properly commit (blaming the job and that the kids elected to stay with me). It took me quite a while, mostly due to american tv influences making me think I'd be mixing with a criminal and exposing myself to criminal prosecution. Thank goodness I stumbled upon cerb and got some straight up information. What hooks me while looking for company is some good pictures and some text which makes me feel like she's laid back and likes what she does. It is critical to me that I can find all the info online (rates, rules, comfort zone), as I know I'm too shy to outright ask. I have no problem following a link to a website to get the extra info. A nice website does help project that she is a professional.

Today I received a thank you from someone I did a favor for. This person never shows gratitude, nor any emotion actually. So today I learned perhaps she is not as I had suspected:)

To define sexy is hard for me as I don't think of it as being any one particular "thing", a look, something someone wears, smells, traits, sounds, etc. It's a mix of a lot. It just is, someone can't be sexy because of this or that, they just are. Some have it some don't. I believe it's "something" you are born with. What I find completely unsexy are those who continuously try impress upon others how "real" or "genuine" or "sexy" or "amazing" they are. If they were it would show without having to point it out;) Being sexy for those who are is natural, comes easily and is obvious. You don't have to shout it from the roof tops:)

I have never really thought about it that way before but now that I am I think you might have something there.... I have only seen a couple of SP's multiple times and I would put those as "my type" using your terminology. Beyond them... the majority of the ladies I gave seen only once tend to be people quite different.... some I am not sure I would have seen when I first started in thus hobby so I think as I move along m appreciation for a more diverse type has grown which I think has been a good thing. Additional Comments: Not sure I rely that much on others for my choices on who to see... i generally look at th ads... che check profiles and recommendation.... gave a look at their website or Blog.... i can't put my finger right on it but it us a sense of connection I am looking for. All that said there is certainly at least one SP whose opinion I would trust without hesitation.

On the survey webpage is the following link to their privacy policy. "The Department of Justice employs software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information or otherwise cause damage. This software receives and records the Internet Protocol address of the computer that has contacted our Web site, the date and time of the visit and the pages visited. We make no attempt to link these addresses with the identity of individuals visiting our site unless an attempt to damage the site has been detected." They do record IP addresses so I wonder if it could be argued that multiple responses from the same address could be construed as an attempt to damage the site, or at least as an attempt to skew the information collected. I shall be making a single reply. You are correct Phaedrus - it would be nice to know for sure.

Certainly i cannot speak for anyone else, but for myself -- I am a TRUE bisexual. I am just as attracted to women as I am men :) a lot of the time duo partners stem from friendship and comfort. :)

My rate goes up $20 each time they try to low ball me. I have one guy who is at double my rate and rising. Some guys just don't get it!

Having to lie about what I do and where I am to members of my family and other people in my life and community, and the fact that the ones who DO know have to uphold that lie also :( I guess this goes back to judgements that are placed on other people, as that's the whole reason for the lies... Sigh.

When I had my sleepover with Lonna Lux a couple years ago I took her to dinner at Zorro's Steakhouse, near Pearson Airport I don't know if the best in Canada, but we both had a good (and filling) dinner...make sure you go there with an appetite. Steaks are BIG http://www.zorrossteakhouse.com/ RG

Favourite: Meeting really gorgeous women who do everything they can to entertain me, and not just sexually, but can hold a good conversation. Some of them have very interesting stories of their own, and have travelled way more than I ever will. Hate: It has made me kind of lazy as far as pursuing relationships with civilians. But that doesn't matter too much since I have a couple of retired --but still smoking hot--ladies as best friends. One weird thing...I do get all the satisfaction I could ever want from professionals. So I never chase anyone at work. A couple of my co-workers, both male and female, have hinted that they think I am gay because they never see me chasing any women or looking at the Sunshine Girl. Additional Comments: I would not say I want to meet if I didn't. I think it is a lot more rude to make false promises than to make no promises. Additional Comments: Absolutely, especially if I know she is usually on top of her game. You don't hit it out of the park every time you are at bat. But if someone has a very good batting average then I stick with them.

One thing that surprised me is that many men involved in this industry are actually more giving and more skilled than those who are not. Many times it becomes a shared experience, which I love, and is much more exciting and fulfilling.

I have one gent who I lowered my rate for, as he is living on pension now. When we met he was working, we have been seeing each other for 4 years and 2 times every month. BUT he never asked for a discount, I offered it to him, so this is different. Someone I never met...why would I give them the discount rather then a visitor who books for years? End of the day, as long as YOU feel good about it:)

Yeah this happens sometimes, when I experience a really strong connection with someone. It helps by keeping this life and my personal life separate and also my client's personal life separate. I prefer not to visit client's residences, and I wear separate lingerie, shoes and clothing for clients. But I guess for me as a young woman I'm not looking to settle down with someone anytime soon, so I stay clear from actually dating ; )

Christy, i will admit i do choose a lot based on looks, but that is subjective to each person...and for me, i can go from really fit to curvy. It really depends on the face for me, pretty face wins me all the time lol...but, yes, looks are important.... As I'm sure for most men... As for the weight increase, if I've been seeing a particular SP for awhile and we got along, it wouldn't really bother me, as we have some sort of connection...that's why i keep seeing her. However, for an SP i haven't met and she gained 20lbs (say from her pics), it could be a deciding factor, all depends on how it's carried.

I learned that no matter how good your intentions may be it is very easy to turn a good thing into a disaster in no time flat.... so be careful. Just my opinion Additional Comments:

I'm not sure what the average is, but I've been in and out of this business a number of times over the years. Why, because I can. I am the type that lives day to day with out much future planning and that's how I like it. When I get bored, get into a relationship, or for any other reason I quit and move on. But it and myself are obviously very compatible as I keep coming back. My re-entry this time, since joining cerb will be 3 yrs in June. Personally I don't find it a tough business and to maintain any type of success in it , like anything you just have to like it. Additional Comments: You assume correctly. I do this part time and rather sporadically, by appointment and not by any set schedule. I'm lucky as I don't need my providing income to sustain myself, it's income is "extra" money. So if and when there is none I'm fine:)

I was fortunate in that I found cerb before I started but the one thing I wish I realized sooner is to forget age, hair colour, size, looks and focus on finding a lady that "speaks to big head as opposed to my little head". Every time I've had an encounter with a lady who "spoke to me" intellectually I've had tremendous experiences and the chemistry was off the charts. Those times when I've been ruled by my little head have as a rule been my worst experiences.

Everyone needs to make decisions that reflect their own reality so what is right for someone else may not be right for me. To each their own and who gives a flying fuck what someone else thinks is crazy. Just my opinion
