Some things that may be of help for both of you. If you can, talk to her doctor's. Some medication only works for a short time for some people. Maybe she needs a medication change. Some times multiple medications are required. Exercise is very important for many medications to be most effective. If you are in the Ottawa area, see if the doctor's can get her a referral to the Royal Ottawa Mental Healthcare Hospital. They have some great in and out patient programs and services. This is covered by OHIP if you do not have private insurance. They even have support services for you. CBT or Cognitive Behavior Therapy can be a big help, but it takes lots of work on her part. Believe it or not, getting out of the house for daily walks together would be a big lift to her mood. http://www.theroyal.ca/ I have suffered from depression and other mental health issues for most of my life. I have been on dozens of different medications before they finally found me a good fit.

Do two parties have to have something to offer in a negotiation? It appears the ladies hold the cards on this one. Begging comes to mind here. I don't think the ladies should be making the donation to the monetarily challenged. I hope the ladies don't feel bad when this happens. Its sad but it always will. Hopefully it just helps with your screening so you know right away not to invest time. You have to shake your head a little though when you think about it. I spend so much money renovating, vacations, fancy meals etc. Etc trying to create memories so when you look back it feels like you lived a good one. Well all I know is when you can trade a few hundred roses for an hour of time from an angel there should be no begging, you should just pay the rate if she accepts you because you will be lucky to have a life memory. They are by far my most vivid and happiest. Ask a girl to turn a dream into reality and if she can knock 20 bucks off cmon....do u want fries with that?

Most cases of depression and/or anxiety have a biochemical basis that affects brain functioning. In other words your brain does not allow you to think and feel as you would normally. Worrying, brooding or being anxious about small or normal things in daily life is one symptom of depression and/or anxiety. You can't "just get over it" and move on. A healthy person would not necessarily become unreasonably upset about whether or not they're travelling business class. They may prefer business class, but if they can't afford it, it's not a big deal. On the other hand, a person who is already ill with depression and/or anxiety may obsess about travelling business class regardless of whether or not they've ever experienced business class before. The illness can lead to seemingly irrational thoughts and behaviours. When evaluating a person for depression/anxiety, a rating scale is used to determine the severity of the illness' symptoms on daily life. The ratings range from "no impact in daily life" to "debilitating impact on daily life". When the ordinary routines or challenges of daily life cause more severe symptoms, that indicates a more debilitating occurrence of depression and/or anxiety.

I am new to this but I cannot understand why anyone would be dumb enough to try to negotiate to save $20 or $40. It shows a complete lack of respect for the ladies and I assume they would respond in kind. This is not like buying a car where it has become accepted practice. When I contract for a service such as hiring an indoor house painter (which I just did) there was no dickering over the price. I wanted exceptional service and I got it. Contracting for a lady's time is the same thing. If I accept her rate as is I hope I am going to be well treated by her. How would you negotiators feel if the lady upped her rate once you arrived at her place saying it is extra for this or that. I would leave. Finally I am a professional accountant and I charge $x an hour -- if you try to dicker me down you are a dick and I wont have anything to do with you. Just saying.

In a previous business, I got haggled to death almost every day. Depending on my mood, I either dickered or I raised my voice and said, "The price is low enough as it is.... F you and get the F out!" I feel your pain. There are things in life which you can negotiate, typically the purchase of significant tangible assets, but when it comes to services (mechanic, plumber, etc.), I don't negotiate because I figure they'll get the price they want one way or the other (if one were to dicker for a lower hourly rate, they'd just bill more hours). When it comes to services I go for reputation, not price. This industry is unique of course, but if you lower your asking rate once, you'll get caught in a downward spiral (the discounted clients won't see you again unless it's at the discounted rate, and even worse, they could spread the lowered rate they received to other potential clients, thus snowballing into a bunch of drama: "he got that lower rate, so why can't I?!). I'm just an average Joe, but when I play I prefer a quality experience, so I have no problem paying the posted rate. I go for quality over quantity. If I have to set aside spare cash for weeks on end, I'll do so. If I don't have the full required amount, that's my problem not hers, so I'll be patient and wait until the piggy bank's full again. Only you can decide your own policies. Anybody who haggles with me now gets a polite "I'm sorry, I can't do that" the first couple of times; if they keep pushing and they push the right combination of buttons, once in a blue moon I'll still explode (I'm getting mellower as I age though). And you want to F-ing know something!? It's the fckers with the BMWs and the Acuras who are the worst! The richer they are the more they think they deserve a special rate!

Denying or lying about your feelings is only a temporary fix, and, as you've said, is causing you additional stress. Would you consider a couple's therapy session, with the aim to help both of you communicate more effectively? It can be exhausting to be the sole support, whether that is physically, emotionally, and/or financially, whether the causes are physical or mental illness. It's okay to have these feelings. It's okay to take care of yourself. There is support out there for both you as a family member, and your wife. In Ottawa we have the Psychiatric Survivors of Ottawa, which is peer-led and offers supports to both individuals experiencing mental health issues and their family members (WRAP programs and peer support). They also have quite a number of links to supports like the Mood Disorders Support and CMHA. As Jafo has said, there is also the Royal Ottawa, which can be an excellent resource, but usually does have a long waiting list for referrals. If that is something you might be interested, it is always easier to get on the waiting list and change your mind or not need it later, than to try and get that support when you or your wife is in crisis. There is also the Mental Health Crisis Line (613-722-6941) and the Distress Centre Line (613-238-3311). Good luck :)

So I am 31 years old, newly married and my wife is suffering from long term mental illness. She has always struggled with depression and anxiety but things have really taken a turn for the worst over the last 12 months. She currently on stress leave from work and is seeing a doctor and a psychologist. It all seems to help a bit but no silver bullets yet and things remain hard. Basically living with this is what pushed me to start seeing escorts and massage providers. For the last 12 months everything has fallen on me, cooking, cleaning, caring for the pets, taking her to all her appointments and handling all the money issues that arise from going down to one income. This was all combined with the need to always be the positive one and never, ever show if I am sad or mad about something. Seeing escorts is a break. For an hour every month my life didn't have to be about caring for someone else, it could be about me. I really think that this release was the only way that I stayed sane. Take tonight, we are booking tickets to go stay with some family we have somewhere warm. This is a luxury for us because, as I mentioned, the wife is not working right now. Instead of being happy that we are going to get away somewhere warm, she is depressed and teary that we can't afford to go businesses class. I have no idea how do deal with this. I am doing the best I can not to show anger as it will send her into a depressive episode that could last days. So instead I fake positivity and try to distract her with tea and pet talk. Hopefully her mood improves before we go. Anyway I started this thread because I felt it might help to write about stuff as it happens. I am going to keep adding to it as I feel the need.

biggest turn off? cheap guys, cheap guys, cheap guys.... if you are that broke, that poverty stricken, used to cheap rates or resent paying for company THAT much - then do not contact me. if u are used to cheaper rates, keep seeing those that provide them

Being threatened to be violated in a certain way when I say I have an age restriction, using explicit language because a person can't asccept the word "No". I do not see anyone under 35 anymore. Accept it and move on. And I don't take threats lightly so if a person wishes to go down that road...I refuse to deal with any bull$it of the sort. Don't tell me how many inches you are. That crap doesn't impress me. What will impress me is if you act like a gentleman. When I don't respond back, it means I'm busy or not available. Ever hear of a day off? Dont send me a barrage of texts demanding a response. A person won't get one this way. Calling up and asking for the address ( not the intersection but the actual address) and insisting on it and not asking for information, rates or anything of the sort. Suspicious much? Not going to happen. Don't try to take the potato out of the steak dinner so to speak. When I offer a massage package, there is no cutting corners to get a discount on the rate. If a person only has X amount of dollars, don't try to make it my problem because it's not. While I enjoy what I do, what I don't enjoy is someone attempting to negotiate my rates like I'm some sort of product. Thats where I end the conversation. As the saying goes "No money, no honey."

Home after two amazing weeks with family. I love my kids and my grandson is a really special little boy. :)

Some tongue in cheek advice http://www.buzzfeed.com/caseygueren/clean-your-peen?bffb&utm_term=4ldqpgp&s=mobile#4ldqpgp and for the ladies http://www.buzzfeed.com/caseygueren/how-to-actually-clean-your-vagina?s=mobile Also, anything to do with bottom play requires a whole different buzzfeed article ;)

Men who say they don't want it to feel like it's a transaction but really it's just a guise for manipulation when they want it THEIR WAY which is best for them by the following: A) They want to negotiate the rate but will still see the escort after she says no which leads to... B) They ask to do unsafe things which the escort will never do and try to make them feel guilty in the process. Not her problem. C) They want to see the escort outside the paid arrangement D) They overstay their welcome This is a mentally overwhelming nightmare type of client because the entire session is about guilt tripping.. As someone who is more experienced, I am assertive enough to say NO to all of the above but many women who don't have that experience may encounter that as a big problem and very unnerving. I find it extremely annoying and will never repeat with people who attempt to ask for those types of things.

I feel hot!

Those that think they know everything about this industry. Even when many others try to explain they are wrong in their idea or belief, they keep saying the same thing over and over. Unless you are - A woman - has taken that first call - have had a client try to hurt you - have been threatened because you refuse to do what they want, you will never understand this industry from the escorts point of view. So, for those listening to the guy who says "listen guys this is how you can get her to do ...I've been in this industry for x number of years and know everything, so follow my lead." If you would not want your wife, mother, daughter or friend to be treated like being suggested, don't listen to it and don't do it.

Getting sworn at / being called not nice names :confused: Big, BIG turn off

I confess that...well, let's just say I have pitched many a tent in Cristy's honour when I see her photos LOL

Good afternoon, Thank you for such a great time back in Saint John, the 186cms of snow was a lovely welcoming touch. I am looking forward to being back in my favourite city soon. xoxo Emily

I took a nap after work. i seldom remember my dreams but this one I did. I dreamed I saw my second oldest son and got to hug him. I have not seen or heard from him in 4 years. I miss him so much. He now has a facebook account and I saw a pic of him on there the other day. I dare not send him an email or he will block me from his account. He looks good and healthy and happy. God I miss my son

Here is how I see it: If I go and see a massage therapist, I will not negotiate their rate. If I go and see a psychologist, I will not negotiate their rate. We are in the "human" services, that can be considered both as a luxury and as a necessity, as much as the previous professions mentioned are. If my service is to offer you all in one appointment: my time, my educated and sensitive personality, my ability to listen to you, my intelligence to know when to speak and when not to, my delicate touch and much more than that, which is precious, then if you still need to negotiate, you need to re-think about what an escort and their services mean to you.

Don't you want to escape the ordinary? Enjoy the company of a sexy mature woman with killer curves, wisdom, skill and who is lots of fun? Don't you want to escape to a comfortable, very clean, quiet, upscale retreat? Don't you want some time for you? Where you'll be perfectly pampered, catered to and entertained. Don't you want to meet Cristycurves? One of Halifax's sexiest companions! Don't you want to have lots of fun? Come on, it's time, you deserve it, and I'd love to show you just how much:) I'm accepting appts all week-preferred pre-bookings but will allow some within the hour, depending on my availability. I prefer all contact by phone-902-453-6323 and PLEASE no texts-thank you I have 3 companionship options 200-hourly-buisness mans 300-hourly-elite 400-hourly-vip Multiple hour options for elite and vip only Don't you want to.....

Thank goodness I haven't had to endure that yet(not that human bowel movements are anything unusual, but it's not too sexy to smell it!), but I have had someone use one of my fresh towels to wipe his butt, and then shoved it deep under my sink so I wouldn't find it until after he left, was certainly a surprise to find! :P Posted via Mobile Device

Yesterday was a very sad day for our family. Our dog, or specifically my daughter's dog which was 12 years old and had been my daughter's faithful companion passed away. He was a great faithful dog that wouldn't hurt a flea. We've had many animals at home during the 20 years. At times we had a mini zoo at home. He's had cat's, rabbits and snakes put on him. And he was kind of them all. The last couple of month's had been rough, as he was having troubles walking and had to be lifted up so that he could limp outside to go for a pee. But the last couple months, he had to go outside every 2 hours for a pee :(. I think his kidneys had been failing. My daughter had recently moved out and he was faithfully waiting each day at the front door to wait for her. She did come home every couple of days for dinner and to see him. He was happy each time he saw her. But my daughter was sad as she could see that he was getting worst each day. She is an animal fanatic and loved her dog very much. It was her that suggested that maybe it was time for him to be put to sleep. She was in tears when she said this, but she didn't want him to suffer. She has been coming home each night to spend time with him and to sleep in the family room with him each night, She woke up 3 to 4 times each night to let him out. Last night she felt he was going soon, and bought him a Mac Donald's burger and fries. When we got home he was lying on his side panting. But when he saw the burger and fries, he perked up and gobbled down his meal. Soon afterwards he lied down on his side and starting convulsing and breathing hard and his eye's were rolling back. We thought that he was going to pass soon. The family and her best friend sat with him for several hours, petting and talking too him. We then decided to call a vet that does home visit's to put him to sleep. We did not want to suffer more. We found a vet that could come within 30 minutes. While waiting we surrounded him with love and kept petting him. When the vet arrive. She apologized for being late. She was nice french woman that is serious about her job. She was very caring and compassionate. She kept us informed as to his health status and kept reinforcing to my daughter that she was doing the right thing. His kidneys had failed and he was dying and could be in this conditions for hours before he passed. We told her to put him to sleep. She explained to us what would happen at each state and asked for permission to go ahead. She told us to keep petting him and talking to him as she prepared the needles. First injection was to put him to sleep and relax him. This would take about 15 minutes she said. Meanwhile my daughter is crying and telling her dog that it was okay for him to go, and that he was a good dog. We were all crying as we sat around him. And we were telling stories about him as a puppy. the vet said that it was good that we did not bring him to a vet hospital as it is stressful for the dogs, as they get stressed going to the vet as they have memories about previous visit's to the vet. It is too clinical and cold. It is better for him to pass at his home with his loved ones around him. After 15 minutes, he was sleeping, she administered the final injection that would stop his heart, this would take about 30 seconds. After 30 seconds he stopped breathing and looked at peace. My daughter then cried for a while. The vet was very soothing and tried to comfort my daughter. After giving us time to say goodbye to our loyal family member. We wrapped his body in his favourite blanket and she promised that she would respect the body and bring it home with her until the people came tomorrow to take the body for cremation. She said that would bring back his ashes when they were ready. I was very much impressed with the vet's attention to detail and how compassionate and understanding she was. There was no rush and she kept us informed at all times at what to expect. She even gave us each a big hug before she left. This at home visit was the best way for us to say goodbye to our loving pet. He passed away with his family and friends around him. Our other dog laid on his body after he passed, I think she knew what happen and was looking for him today. He is at peace now and his memory will stay with us forever. My daughter is now compiling all her pictures of him and making a digital album. Just wanted to share this experience with you and if you have to say bye to your pet a at home visit from one of these loving vet's is a great way to do so. May he Rest in Peace :)

lol i know right there a lot of funny pages. I like this one I braided the page I ripped up and tape it to the next page lol i got Mio juice all over the book playing target on one page

There has been some curiosity in regards to whether or not I've retired or if I'm still around. Well, straight from the horse's mouth, yes I did "retire" for a couple of months but there was a change in my circumstances (as well as of my relationship status) and I decided I wanted to come back. I also have a new apartment which is nicer, bigger and more discreet than my previous location. So there it is. It's great to be back and I look forward to seeing/talking with both old and new friends! Posted via Mobile Device

Dining out tonight at a great St. John's restaurant... i could say it was for valentine's as it kinda is but we go out some place nice every weekend. Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk

Mikey likey!

Well as I discovered and is appreciated by the ladies is realizing that I'm not so good...." that way LOL but I respect and appreciate the companionship the ladies provide, pay them in full, plus a tip and gift. Any guy that is so good I have a question for you, why do you need to see professional companions then? I always remember this, even though we are opposite sides of the same coin, for guys it is an escape, for the ladies, their livelihood Ladies want a client who is a gentleman...wanting their companionship for free is just disrespectful A rambling RG

Yup, there may be a bit of confusion here. The OP did say escort but he posted under "Massage" discussion section. For Milan Netige, they were talking about the sweet Breath Taking Vivian. Look for her ads under Massage advertisement section or check her profile page.

guys that try to 'bargain' at all rates. it's not only rude, but when I have already reduced the rate, wtf? Best line ever? 'I'm so good you will WANT to give it to me for free'. bahahahahah! What do you think? NO!!!! lol I try now to get guys to PM me, so i can see who they are, this way I can report them. Sure, I offer 'special' rates at certain times, but if your that broke/cheap/ or just want a bargain, go elsewhere please. If you ask me if I will accept xzy amount for a 45 minute time, I will consider it. No, I don't find that particular question offensive, but the consistent 'bargain hunters' really turn me off.

Give yourself totally

I'm dying, please.

Saw Tina, pictures accurate. Nice time with her. she's ticklish

I confess that I'm addicted to the Internet

No word of a lie, I had someone recently call me and ask for $5 off of my half hour donation....He was dead serious, by the way. lol

Just think, an untraditional adult companion date. What could be more exciting? Hmm, 2 sexy adult companions, instead of one! Friday only, downtown, in a private oasis near the City Hall and the Bell Building. My girlfriend Barbara, has decided to spend the day with me, and a lucky gentleman. I can't think of a better way to start your weekend, and keep warm in these frigid temperatures. One, or two, sinfully sexy adult companions, what shall you do! Both creative and imaginative. Just imagine 4 hands to massage you, and that's only the prelude for a decadent adult companion date. In regards to my time for adult companionship and massage: 100 roses/hh 150 roses/45-mins. 180 roses/h Please inquire for a unique, unconventional, adult companion date. Always huggable, kissable, as we all know there's nothing better than the human touch. 613-404-7437 Thank you, and let's have a wonderful, fun filled day.

Just checked into the new Delta in Toronto, great view with a corner on the 39th floor. Anyway off to the International Auto Show for the next few days to see all that is shiny and new in the world of cars.

Lingerie for my upcoming photo shoot.....

The start of my b-day weekend celebrations start tonight with a road trip and lots of champagne....

I know and see you are a respectful Gent, and would simply not try that " well let me negotiate and see" especially if it is written on my ad. I for one appreciate your opinion, and feel it does have relevance. But with this in mind, as you said, " some do have specials" well yes in fact I have a special right now, but with that said I also state it is for certain dates only. I do not mind offering a special rate, but respect the days I have chosen. It is very upsetting if one week after, or even a year, they say " well you gave it for this rate before, why not now" answer to that is, because I have chosen those dates. I agree with every word that Nicolet has written here. With this all said in this thread, I hope we can all stick together as adults and realize that.... 1.we ladies know our expenses, have to keep our heads above water. If our expenses and profits are not met, then we will leave the industry( or provide a lesser quality that most of ladies pride ourselves on NOT doing) and the ones who can afford to work for 60/80 hh will carry on. But then what 50? 40? might as well go to POF lol. 2. Gents who are interested in meeting a lady that has the proper time and locations prepared, without having a revolving door that will leave you feeling like your a heat score...then yes ladies like that do need a but more to run their business. And to give our clients the sessions they really want to have to feel safe, clean and secure. 3. there is no pleasing everyone, some will move on, others will complain, and those who try to badger you are just not worth your txt time.

In Ontario 10 charges under new Criminal Code have been made for pimping and 4 charges have been made in ontario for advertising the sale of sexual services. none of the charges in ontario are "purchase of sexual services" but thats ontario.... Saskatoon has been going after guys and i am not sure how many charges and not sure about other provinces.

That's just not my thing, I'm afraid. Last time I saw someone I spent quite a long time checking out her snatch, and we then moved on to some experimentation with jerk techniques, with very satisfying results. Weightlifting is way more fun than basket-weaving :)

You mean ladies here actually play with your willy? I thought we paid only for time and companionship and a neck massage. Lol. I guess I've been missing out. Oh, Daniel Boone, paying them to play with your... so explicit on this board. The sex police and Steven Harper will be coming to see you soon. :icon_lol:

The mods do a great job of keeping this place peacefull. But it wouldnt be here without all these beautiful women!! Thanks ladies.

I have to disagree with first impressions. They're are not everything. Some men just don't know what to say. I do agree with what's up, yo, babe, is all really a " crappy "way to introduce yourself, however I've met amazing men who have sent me an initial Yo. Lol. I speak for myself when I say keep in mind some men are new to this industry and aren't sure how to present themselves in our " required" commerce. Yourself, I and all of us Sps started out fresh, with no knowledge to wording, abbreviations etc, so shouldn't we give that benefit of the doubt to our prospective clients? (Pls don't gimme hostility for this post) as I'm purely stating my opinion. I'd feel sadly of anyone rejecting an amazing advanced client solely based on his initial hellos. Yet I truly get annoyed with the hey, or hi where are you emails and texts. Isn't that apart of our business?!?

First, I'm sorry or congratulations, whichever applies. The first thing is to make a list of the top 10 divorce firms in the city then go for a consultation WITH ALL OF THEM! That ensures your soon to be ex won't be able to retain them. This is an incredibly valuable move... cat
