There's always Paradise in Bells Corners. They are always advertising in the shout box.

Been wondering why you had done the disappearing act. It's always fun to pull up the posts I see you've responded to, get to see some of the comic responses. And glad to see you've avoided the axe.

I've got a couple of things that can really add to a date. I always like to shower with the lady to start. Even better is a chance to get in the tub and have a nice bath together. Over the last three or fours years I can only remember two instances of sharing a bath together. I think one of the reasons it's not offered is that the ladies are concerned about their make up or hair. For me it doesn't concern me as there are shower caps, and I am not turned off by lack of make up. The other great pleasure is a chance to snuggle up together after a release. Nothing like a nice soft warm body next to you when you are coming down and have that nice warm glow.

I notice that there are many comments but no actual replies to the post. Anyway I will take a stab at it as it raises a number of issues. One is I just want to sympathize with you over the illness you are dealing with. I too have spent a lot of time in hospitals caring for a loved one. It can be very demanding and stressful. I sincerely hope that things are working out in regards this problem. I think you are no different when it comes to the job. Sometimes it can be a relief to keep busy when you are dealing with difficulties like this. Although different, I seriously thought of reentering the work force after my wife died simply as a way of keeping busy and having an outlet to socialize. I am sure that as a professional you would not let your service suffer. Through the years I occasional make dear friends through my time spent with women in this community. I think many men can't be approachable at times like this, but I for one make it clear to those few that I can be contacted and am quite amenable to giving help, no strings in case it's needed. There's a woman I've known for many years who found a lump in one of her breasts, and when I offered help she told me that one of her clients was already taking her to her chemo appointments. This probably was a little more serious than what you're trying to illustrate, but there are a few guys that I'm sure you could rely on to keep you working and groceries on the table, it's just a matter of letting them know.

Been done quite a few times, last one was a pool party a few months ago. You just have to keep your eyes peeled, but I think some of the organizers are getting a little tired, it's a lot of work.

It really shouldn't make any difference. I think you have to take a reality check and realize that you are dealing with an SP as a commercial transaction. Sure some of the ladies provide a wonderfully personal service, but when all is said and done, and you leave they have a life of their own. It would be unfair to expect them to forgo having an SO because they are in this line of work.

I lived and worked for many years in Halifax. So, I've already bought my ticket. Haven't made any travel arrangements yet, but if there are others from Ottawa wanting to go then I might consider taking the car, be a good road trip. PM me if you're interested.

Get idea for the long sparsely populated runs for commodities, grain oil, coal and iron ore. Look at some of the mile or so long trains going through the Rockies. Then there's the politics. The railway just spent a pile of money here in Ottawa to upgrade the signals and level crossings. Via announced a new high speed rail service from downtown Ottawa to Union station in Toronto. Enter the local councilor, needs to have a study, the one they did doesn't count. Heaven forbid they go through Barrhaven at more than 20 kph. Four and a half hour trip competes with the airlines if you start counting security and getting to and from Pearson. Outcome, via cancels the service.

If you ask for a specific time, then there is only one answer, yes/no. Because of this I tend to ask for a morning or afternoon and give the provider the option of taking a look at her schedule and offering me a time that fits with her needs. I do know that sometimes I get that exasperated "Well what time? ", but it's just my way of increasing the odds of booking a lady that may have a busy schedule. Of course I'm pretty luck to have a lot of flexibility.

I don't rely on my GPS, but Google the location in advance. I usually arrive in the area five to 10 minutes early and park close by until the set time. One other comment, it's also not a good idea to arrive early.

I don't think it should come as any great surprise that following Judge Himel's decision this would eventually come before the Supreme Court. It fits quite well with the present government, as they don't have to take any action any time soon. I would agree that it may not lead to new legislation as I don't really believe the politicians want to have an open debate. The other problem with crafting new progressive law is that it would probably lend itself to new avenues of appeal under the charter. I would also agree that the outcome is more likely to be an attempt to regulate the industry through the provincial and municipal governments. I'm not sure that this will be good. It may lead to high fees and a diverse patchwork of regulations through the cities that will be far more difficult to appeal. Compliance and getting licenses will be difficult and can you imagine assigning bylaws officers to enforce the rules around small operations out of a ladies apartment.

When I looked at your original I was really surprised by your comment that you were considering dropping out of the hobby if you had to get a burner. I think you will find many great positive comments about getting one, and their importance in the subsequent posts. I get the impression from your comments that you have concerns regarding your privacy, which in this day and age really is a myth unless you take extraordinary steps. Do your research and trust your instincts and you won't have any trouble. I have never had any of the ladies contact me privately, unless I had told them that I was open to hear from them. On the other side of the coin I think you have to look at it from the women's perspective. They are in an industry that has an enormous amount of risks, and this is just another tool that they have to manage the way they do business and help mitigate a bit of the risk. Probably, if you looked at the statistics, the ratio of "bad dates" to dates is pretty high, so give them every chance you can, because at the end of the day they deserve any help we can give them.

Congratulations You are very blessed, I know that the rewards of having children are many.

I tried to use my tablet at MacDonalds several weeks ago, and the public WiFi connection they offer was filtered and wouldn't let me access CERB. I'm not sure if it was their company policy or something that Bell was was instituting for them.

I think it's a good thing for you to take a look at your future. I have been out of the workforce for about 12 years now, and for quite a few years considered going back to work, before deciding to officially retire. The problem is that the longer you stay out the harder it is to start again. As for a pension as long as you're doing your I tax you can and should be contributing to an RRSP, the earlier you start the better the return, and you can't rely on a government to live comfortably on when you retire. I've got my 2.6 years in and looking for many more. The recreation time spent with you lovely ladies on a regular basis is one of the reasons that I am optimistic and stay healthy. If you're going to get a job unrelated to this industry, following are a few of my opinions and suggestions. Number one you have to temper your expectations, remember if you have to start in a new industry you're at the entry level, you will only get ahead through time and hard work. Until you do take that first step, taking a few courses works really well. If you need good references I would suggest getting involved in the volunteer community. You will find that you will meet many very community oriented people, gain some very vaiuable experience and some great references. Look around and put a plan in place as to what it is you want and work to that end. As for the five years only you can develop a plausible story, but I would suggest making it as close to the truth as you can. If you start spinning too much of a yarn, it becomes too hard to justify later. Good luck.

I have to vote nay. I think as a client, we would generally see the same ladies all the time since there are only twenty lines of ads and once the ladies who had paid, had posted all other ads would be on the subsequent pages. I might be inclined to go directly to page two knowing automatically who to expect on the first. It might discourage the occasional posters as they'd always be page two ads. The rule of unintended consequences As a rule I now browse the ads thru to the start of the day knowing that if busy they do roll over.

As I understand, whether you pre pay or not, as long as you have a credit card on file all you have to do is leave the keys in the room. All they really want is the card number in case there are incidental changes like parking or Internet services, or damage to the room and could include a hearty cleaning fee if you smoke up a non smoking room. Most of the time I book using Priceline which is prepaid, and I always have to give them a card when check in.

The first time I observed this phenomena was quite a few years ago, when I got married. I am an Anglican and married a Catholic girl. As a requirement I had to take instructions from the catholic clergy and agree to let the children be raised in the Catholic church. For me at the time it was an eye opener because back then I could already observe a relaxation of the dress codes between our two churches. I attend church on an occasional basis, and took a hiatus following my wife's illness and death. I think that a relaxation of the style of dress isn't necessarily a bad thing as it's a reflection of how our society is evolving. It shouldn't be an impediment to attendance, as I feel it would make for a better society if we went more and followed the fundamental teachings of most religions. Many objections are generational, and I like RG go crazy over a ball cap worn at the dinner table. I had my daughter and son in law out for lunch one day and I had to ask the lad to remove his hat. My daughter understood but he was totally confused by my request. As someone from an older generation I try to practice a more civil style of interacting with other than later generations. But at the end of the day I know that I have to adapt as societal norms are continuously changing.

I think it's kinda like the old chicken and egg question. Is your style/personality something you're born with or is it a learned attribute. Since it's an activity between consulting adults, obviously there are compromises by each party to satisfy the partner. I personally find the greatest satisfaction in being unselfish and seeing that I've been able to find the right buttons to get the lady turned on and fulfilled.

I for one do look at reviews from a number of sources. some boards may be more rosy, while others more critical. Before I see a new girl I use multiple tools and reviews to make a decision. I think that it's important to look at the reviewer because it's also a reflection on his reputation. I for one review seldom, as the service has to be stand out. Also if and when I do give a review on a board or through PM I never disclose the amount of the payment, as that can vary. The other thing is, I don't think one has to be explicit, if one chooses one's words carefully.

For e books you might want to try the Gutenberg project.

This is probably not an isolated incident. The wife obviously is hurt and for whatever reason wants to maintain her relationship with this guy. Hopefully if you keep your head down she will move on, but if she does keep harnessing you then obviously you have to act, and that is probably a call to the police. And as Angela says, keep a record of your communications regarding this issue. Good luck

I took a membership here in March 2006 and was primarily a lurker then. I went back to take a look and found that the archive doesn't go back that far, but it would be interesting to see my first steps in this community.

I bid for rooms using Priceline and have always had good value. I went to Toronto this week for the Jays home opener and stayed downtown for $75 a night. The only draw back, although you specify the area and quality you have to wait for the bid to clear before you know which hotel. I suppose you could wind up in an SP unfriendly location.

I think that it would make sense to approach them privately and with respect. The approach I might use is that I am a member of the Cerb community and noticed you were on there also. Allow them to respond in their own way. One other clue as to the course of action might be to take some time to browse through their posting history, and get a sense of their degree of openness to being approached. I personally have a photo of myself in my profile, so there is no reason to expect that they also may not have come across my identity.
