Charlotte, I think you have hit on a great topic that needs some discussion. There are many ways you gain a reputation on a board like this, and I suppose the friends you keep is one of those factors. I've sometimes been uncomfortable accepting some friend requests from women, simply because they've noticed that I've taken a look at their profile. To me that is a simple way of getting around the soliciting rule by PM, which I think can be taken too literally.

Congrats, you're a gentleman and a scholar.

It's the button located slightly raised and to the right of the Q-Reply (quick reply) button. If it's not there it maybe simply you've exceeded some statistic, but it should come back at some point.

I think you might have added an other category, many of us may be brought up in a faith but are going through a period were we are no longer practicing it at this time. I must say for myself that following the loss of my wife, I haven't had much interest, but can see the possibility of resuming my interest, especially as I get older. For your interest I will cast my ballot.

I think that if a member has already pm'd you with an indication that he will be attending, then you would be all right to get back to him by PM with a reminder that the door is due without it being considered solicitation. In this case he has made the initial contact. Your PM is a follow up and still doesn't put Cerbs seal of approval on it. I think the policy is intended to stop unsolicited offers, not unlike the telemarketers who call us every day by phone, and are a great annoyance. It's maybe an issue that the town council should discuss and clarify.

I would suggest that an email transfer is cold hard cash, just the same. It's just one you withdraw it from your account at the ATM or the other when when you send the email.

If you want free and reasonable priced software might want to go to Tucows, quick search and found gimp there.

All kinds of cheese, especially those that have strong flavors

Wow, I like another poster to this thread am a widower. After about a year in deference to their feeling, I initiated a conversation with the kids concerning my decision to start seeing other women. I think they're both aware that I step out on occasion, definitely my son is because he and I get together more often and share a few brewskies and some fairly candid conversations. Also they've probably seen the viagra on the night stand. With him I don't discuss the details, and to be honest would not encourage him to participate in a community like this, although he may have happened upon it when using my computer. Simply I hope he meets a nice girl and has what the majority would consider normal, a good marriage and kids, because once one crosses the threshold and enters it's hard to go back.

Men may come in different shapes and sizes. But you seem to have not considered that women also are different in there dimensions, so you might find that there is no good answer.

One area I think makes a lot of sense it to conserve energy i.e. electricity and gas. I don't use the drier, a real energy hog, air dry all my laundry. During the summer I only use the central air during the heat waves, and then have the thermostat set for 24. In winter it's at 19 degrees because I can always don a sweater. It also saves me some money. The retailers charge of a nickel a bag I think is a bit of a crock, the profit margin being pretty high. I suspect most of them profit from their sale and don't pass on this the consumers contribution to the environmental movement.

I agree with Katherine. When every I return to Halifax it's a must have, it's the sauce they put on them that makes them so good.

I think this just another tool of the trade. Not all clients use the same sources for information, and a web site is your way to get your image established the way you want it. If the authorities were to decide that they want to go after you I believe they would have to catch you in the act, have direct evidence or complaint that you are indeed committing some crime. Being an escort is not a crime, and if you are discrete I don't think you would be pursued if you entertain at home in a quiet manner and don't arouse your neighbors. If the police decide you aren't welcome they have ways of letting you know it's time to move on.

I have turned 60, so I look at this from a slightly different perspective. You're young but still recognize that there's a big cost in maintaining them or having them removed and probably some reconstruction down the road. What's the impact of todays decision 10, 20 or 30 years hence. If you're going to do it, make the decision for your self and don't feel pressured by others. Remember this, not many girls make this a long time career, so think about what you want should you move on.

This is one on the other side of the fence. I had been wanting to see a particular lady who worked on Vancouver Island, so had gone to Victoria a few times over several years but had no luck. She had a great service, had you over and cooked cooked for you and then provided a nice interlude afterwards. She would come down to the city and use a friends apartment for her rendezvous. Anyway this time had a date booked. So as agreed I called her on the morning of and this is what I heard. Sorry Henry but I have bad news, I was trying a new product yesterday, (I think it was a hair removal preparation) and I woke up with a rash in a rather intimate area so I won't be able to make our date this time. I never got another opportunity to get back there. It's a bitch when trying to ladies far from home when there are only occasional windows of opportunity.

Seems to me you are over analyzing this, If you are stepping over a line that you and your partner have already established then it's cheating. If you've not fleshed out the details and are making assumptions about where the line exists then you're probably going to take some heat. It's all about good communications and not doing things that you're not going to mention to the SO.

I find the whole article rather confusing. I can still remember doing Economics 101, thirty years ago. Those principles of supply and demand, and elasticity as relates to price are actually quite in evidence and relevant in an industry such as this, where there is a price that is negotiated. I find his inequality idea that men want sex and women don't have similar needs, so they withhold it to gain a negotiating advantage isn't true most of the time. In most good relationships sex is a normal healthy activity, a two way street. I hope there's more to a marriage proposal than his idea.

I like girls of all shapes and sizes, you all have your own forms of beauty. I'm not into crotch shots, so leave a little bit to the imagination. Post a variety from different angles, there's nothing more frustrating than a folder with a series that's obviously trying to show off only certain assets, but none others that they feel aren't as flattering. Don't use poses that give a distorted perspective. I know you're not always comfortable showing you face, but it's a real asset, nothing like a nice smile to turn us on. Lastly, they don't have to be professional grade, amateur are fine, it's the content that counts.

I agree, when my wife passed away, I was wrapped up with my kids feelings and can't honestly remember who was at the various events, other than the immediate family. She was popular and there many people that came by, many I didn't know and had to introduce themselves. So, if you are going to attend out of respect, then it can be done discretely, and you probably won't even be noticed.

I can't see any reason not to attend the service in a discrete way. As ottawaadventurer said, this is for the living and if you've developed a close personal bond with the client, then it's a way for you to show respect and gain closure for yourself. This is a business, but we all are human and it's unavoidable that we don't occasionally develop real bonds with each other.

Happy Birthday, have enjoyed our PM's

I see she has a new album up today, the brunette Sin_Cindy. The old ones as a blonde are gone. Must have decided retirement wasn't in the cards right now.

In response to Megan's and Elizabeths response, I made no comment that she was responsible for his rip off, and that she shouldn't be compensated. This is an industry that works in the shadows, cash because it doesn't leave a trail. In practical terms Emma is left in a no win situation. Probably can't go to the police and try and have him charged for fraud (many reasons, possibly an incall), or small claims court ( no receipts). I just think it's wishful thinking that such a client would come thru under these conditions. If he's a regular client or a CERB member :icon_exclaim: she might have a chance to recover, good clients would take their responsibility seriously under these unusual conditions. I just hope that he wouldn't have the opportunity to continue circulation the bills. I really feel very sympathetic to Emmas plight, but unfortunately the tread should be viewed as a warning, and a chance to have a discussion.

This may not be what you want to hear, but, why did you even try to let him make up for them. If he did then I would assume he'd want some proof and that would probably mean giving the counterfeits back, and then he might pass them on to some other unsuspecting mark. You don't get these from the bank, so he probably knew full well what he was doing. You'd be passing the problem onto someone else. It's great that you've followed through and his information is with the authorities. I am sure you're a very smart woman, but in this business you get fucked now and then. Lesson learned.

Sorry about that, didn't see you were in the Winnipeg section
