This is really disgusting. I tend to agree that they should be tried as adults and sentenced harshly as I doubt they aren't really capable of rehabilitation. I know that this isn't a side of the business our members would show an interest, but this a rare time where I think the client bares some responsibility. After all these thirteen year olds are children. Any client who shows up and is introduced to a child should walk away and have the guts to report the incident to the police.

This is a rather offensive comment. The organizing for this has been going on for months so there's been plenty of time to comment. Taloon finally quit as organizer after a lot of hard work because some people questioned his commitment as a relatively new and inexperienced member. It took MN2 to pick up the pieces and organize what I expect will be a great first event for Halifax. You must remember that this is not CERB sponsored, but a private affair held in a public venue. At this point it is at capacity and not accepting new participants. I believe that after all the hard work MN2 has every right to put some reasonable rules around it so as to have a discrete and successful event (he has had the benefits of seeing the way the Ottawa ones evolved). It's really important if you want to have more of them in the future that it's a success. Those new guys commenting here will have a chance in the future.

I have slightly different slant. I'm a mature widower and as such don't have the secrecy problems of others. I use SP/MA services on a regular basis to fill a healthy need in my life, and like to make friends and have quite personal relationships with the women I see. If I needed a date for a social function or a trip I can see myself doing so. There are a number of ladies my age who are not in this profession that I can call, but my problem is that many are like me widowed and they might take my invitation the wrong way. I'm quite comfortable with my life as is, a reasonable marriage and children, and am not necessarily looking to hook up for another long term relationship. So to your question, all the guys here are different, so I'm sure there's a limited market for this type of service. The problem is how to market this service. In Ottawa we've had close to dozen socials and I've got to meet many great ladies socially who might be up for a social type of date.

Well done, look forward to your continued contribution to the community.

Porthos makes a great suggestion. The social is upcoming, it a low stress way to meet others in this community. You'll find no one will bight, and you will get to meet ten ladies in the business in a relaxed social environment.

Sure am and proud of it. Been here for many years but it's only in the last couple that I've actively started to post. I have a tablet on my bed side table so I can check in after I roll over in the morning, and it's generally in an open window on my laptop during the day. I've attended most of the Ottawa social events and have gotten to know a many of the boys and girls who hang out here. Now it's time to meet some of the easterners in a couple of weeks.

I made the suggestion in a pm to MrNice that he extend a personal invitation to Taloon and I know that he has. I would suggest that others might also do so as I think he hasn't been persuaded at this point.

I don't think most of the ladies on CERB use this as their only marketing tool. If you see them here you can obviously check their profile and history to get a feel for what they offer, but other services may not give you the same detail. In many cases I use the PM system as a first contact. In the end I do like to talk to the lady in person to get a feel for whether we'll get along. I use the opposite approach. I approach them politely and have a bit of conversation and I find that I can discretely tell them what I like and my expectations. That way they can let you know if they are comfortable with your needs, and they don't have to go through a list of services. Go into an encounter with a mutual understanding and you won't be disappointed.

Personally it doesn't really matter for me, but I do like the mornings. Another factor, especially during the summer is probably it depends a lot on the weather. If you've worked all week and the weekend is sunny and warm you might want to hit the links or be on the water. On the the other hand a grey sullen rainy weekend you might just want some pleasant indoor recreation. That's probably not the easiest to work around if you're a visitor like Sophia.

I think it's a rather risky strategy. If you do hire a lady who necessarily has the good social skills, you might find that you start to have certain feelings. Although you hadn't intended you might take the next step with her, and you wind up in the boudoir. A couple of sessions like that and you might find it hard to get back to your original strategy of finding miss right. One thing you didn't mention is one line dating, sites like POF, where you're bound to get lots of opportunities. A couple of years after my wife passed away I tried one of the match making services. It cost me a couple of thousand to join Lifemates. They do a lengthy interview and try and match you with compatible mates. In the end I did meet some nice ladies but as they had laid out quite a bit of money I found them to be a pretty aggressive lot, they wanted value for their investment. I think you idea about putting your self out there is the way to go, don't pressure yourself, just be yourself and you'll meet someone when you least expect it. Good luck.

I think she has every right to decide who she's comfortable seeing. This is a very personal business so let her decide what her restrictions are. Post them and that's all you have to do,.

It's not just sunscreen, but if you're going to be outside for extended periods covering up makes a lot of sense. Long sleeves and pants, and a hat with a rim that extends all the way around, nothing like getting a burn on the nose, the ear lobes, and the back of the neck. Another really important consideration, is having a good pair of shades. I have glasses so ever time I get a new prescription, I invest in a good set of polarized lenses. especially if you're on the water where there's lots of glare, or out when there's snow on the ground.

I don't think there is any obligation to act. Doing so is a moral and ethical decision. Every province does have law that protects you when you do act, but remember it has to be reasonable and carefully administered. If conscious I would make sure you do ask if they want you help, and if no, 411 may be your only option. It's a big decision and many people don't act for a variety of reasons, their own safety, unpleasant illness or injury, possibility of catching a disease, and being afraid of doing something wrong. Dialing 911 may be as far as you want to go. Recently I re-certified my standard first aid recently and was really surprised by the changes that have happened in the last few years. CPR has been simplified, mouth to mouth isn't recommended nearly as much and there's a real accent on your personal safety.

By all means you report the incident to the mod, although he is no doubt aware of whats happening in this thread. I'm no sure if it was by email or pm so I would not delete the the offending message as mod might want to see it so there can be no understanding if he decides to take action against the offending member.

I'm now a senior and some of the issues surrounding this thread have relvance for me. I've made no secret that I'm widowed, for seven years now. One of the issues I struggle with is whether to actively persue another long term relationsamhip. Rather selfishly I do look at women that are a bit youger than I, and mainly as an issue of possible care. I am quite comfortabble as far a money is concerned, so protecting that is important. There are many ladies who are approaching their golden years who don't have the resources for a comfortable retirement and do look at hooking up and establishing a relationship to provide a comfortable retrement. As for the situation described here, obviously she feels she has put in the years and feels she has earned her cut, and he hasn't had the foresight to accept and plan for the consequences associated with his choice. Sadly, if his kids feel badly done by, you can see the lawyers earning a lot of money in litigaton. Based on the limited information there seems to be a distorted balance of power at this time in the relationship. So, I'm quite happy having fleeting chances to spend time with some nice ladies I've met here.

Sadly, I'm not sure that they really do have much choice at that point. I don't think you can do anything but beat a speedy retreat. Don't argue, she's probably not very rational at this point.

Sounds from the way Twinson tells it she may have been fishing for the compliment, at the least enjoying the affect she was having on the guys. But I do agree that it's probably not a good idea to wander over and tell her what you're thinking, you never know how the boy friend would react when he returned.

The city finally showed up and planted a nice 12-15 foot oak tree in my front yard, gratis through the Trees in Trust program.

I think bald isn't necessarily unattractive in a woman. Unfortunately, I found out the hard way, my wife lost her's through chemo and she was still a very attractive woman. You just have to look at the pictures being posted, and see the poise and presence of these women, their confidence in their looks.

I think you're being a little bit overly concerned. Over the years I've never had trouble with my safety or privacy. If you take the time to do your research and look for providers who have been around for a while and have good reputations you should have no problem. You have to remember that their objective is to be discrete as their business depends on it. I would suggest that if secrecy is critical then maybe you should find another form of recreation. The other solution would be to get a hotel room where you control access and order take out, one of the well known spas offers that option.

Seems to me it's simply a matter of the girls going where the business is. I know my way around the Ottawa side so when I go over the bridge I am a little bit lost, and finding my way around and finding parking is a bit of a challenge. Maybe I'm all wet but just seems to me with Ontario plates and driving tentatively I might be potentially stopped.

I heard an interview with this woman last week on NPR. Then today I saw this article which might be of interest as there are some interesting points. I do think however she does get a little bit over the top as she discusses the toxic pollutants. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health/new-health/health-news/whats-the-most-misunderstood-body-part-breasts/article2443878/page1/

I've been taking the drug for many years. I have what I would consider a good family physician. He does regular blood tests and monitors my health on a regular basis, and is a good listener and always ready to discuss the issues around any of his recommendations. I think we get so much conflicting information from the internet and some of it incorrect and irrelevant. I think as we age it's necessary to accept professional advice. Sure, if you do need drugs some experimenting with types and dosage may be necessary to find the combination that fits your needs. You can drive yourself doing research on such a wide ranging subject as treatment for cholesterol.

I know that when my wife lost her hair during chemo, she was actually very attractive and I took pains to reassure her of that. She wore bandanas to cover up in public because she was self conscious, so we did get her a nice wig. After her death I did take it in to the cancer society as they do re cycle them to women that can't afford the cost of one. It's commendable to donate hair, but it's something I'm not capable of doing. So, I would just say that there are also many other ways to help out. Because my wife needed many transfusions and several bone marrow transplants my suggestion to our family and friends was to become blood donors and register with the donor registry for bone marrow. Every bit helps.

Maybe you can out them by contacting Cowboy Kenny, sometimes his postings can have an effect.
