  1. It is actually $10 per year after the initial membership. They do have the information listed on the website.
  2. You should absolutely go for it seadoo!!! I was very hesitant for a long time about joining and finally did in March. I certainly have no regrets at all and should have joined long ago! I have not been to the East end location yet, but have been to the West location for both the parties and appointments and have also used Touch of Euphoria, their outcall service. They never disappoint!!! ;) You won't regret becoming a member seadoo!!!
  3. For me it's 9:11!!! I seem to constantly come across that number!!! Freaks me out, considering my life went to total crap after that day! Seems everyday I look at my watch at exactly 9:11 for some reason or another.

  9. I posted this in 2011 on here. This simple act of kindness saved me long ago... This is a most difficult question to answer. In my life I have seen some of the most vile and disturbing acts anyone can ever imagine. I've served in Bosnia 3 times, Croatia twice, Kosovo twice, Afganistan twice officially and 4 times on short stays, and Iraq twice. Recently early in the summer, I was also in another war zone. This is an experience I would not wish on anyone, what you see in the movies gives you no concept of the realities of war. I was very happily out of it all, when I was asked last fall to go back and take on a slightly different job. Is this something that I regret, no. It was a very difficult decision to make, and I made it for the right reasons. Why, because protecting those who cannot protect themselves is always worth the risk. So what is it that inspires me? A moment in time, I sometimes ask myself if it was even real. During some of the worst fighting in Iraq, something outstanding occurred. We were in Az Zubayr, it was I figure around 6am. Fighting had been raging all night and I was on almost no sleep for 3 days. I came around a corner with the young soldier who still serves with me today, weapons were up and ready. I still don't know what caused either one of us to hesitate, something didn't feel right for whatever reason. As we came around the corner there was a little girl standing there. I don't know why she was there, she must have been maybe 6 or 7, but she smiled at us. Both of us lowered our guard just so she knew we would not hurt her, she reached down and picked two little flowers that were growing next to the wall and walked over and gave them to us. The young soldier and I looked at each other in amazement....how could something like this happen here, in this place, under these circumstances? Then she smiled again and walked away...I still wonder how any of it was ever real! Well it was real, I still have that flower tucked away in a very safe place. It reminds me that no matter how terrible things can get, there is always something that can make you smile and remind us, there is some good in this world! My grandfather said to me as a very young boy, "Do what's right, not what's easy". I live by those words every day, and will never give up hope on humanity.
  10. There is documentary tonight at 9 on TSN. It's about how hockey is bringing both Arab and Jewish children together through sport. I know, a somewhat political documentary on a sports channel! I have been waiting to see this for some time now. I have served, snooped and lost too many friends in the Middle East over the years. Anything that can be done to make this world a better place warms what is left of my soul. Someone asked me the other day why I joined the British Forces? I joined not to fight, I joined to save lives and save this planet from destroying itself. I know that sounds grandiose to many, but that was how I felt and still do to this day. There is hope in this world and no matter how dark the night gets...you can see the stars! http://www.bellmediapr.ca/Network/TSN/Press/TSN-Original-Documentary-NEUTRAL-ZONE-Examines-Hockeys-Role-in-Bridging-Conflicted-Communities-in-the-Middle-East-
  11. Hope you have yourself one fantastic birthday!!!! :D
  12. Happy Birthday!!! Have yourself one fantastic day!!! :D
  13. All depends where in England you lived....I call them my twig and berries, or because I'm actually Scottish I call it the caber! LOL My mate who is from Bradford, and yes I hold it against him, calls them his gentleman vegetables...just depends on where you are from.
  14. I can easily live without it all and have before. Not a massive fan of technology, I mostly put up with it rather than embrace it. I still prefer a map and compass over a gps, actually cook something on the stove than use the microwave...etc. Not that I don't have all the gadgets, but I can easily live without them. I'll sometimes just take off in to the woods and build a lean-to instead of using a tent just to clear my mind. That's more my style ;).
  15. Since the last time I wrote a recommendation on this incredible woman, I have been most fortunate to have seen Mandy on a number of occasions! She is an engaging and stunningly beautiful woman who can make anyone feel at ease. Mandy's classic curves, like that of a Hollywood starlet of the 40's or 50's are so incredibly sexy and her warm smile and gorgeous eyes make me melt every time I see her! Every session with Mandy is so enjoyable, relaxing and enticing, that I just count down the days until I am lucky enough to see her again!!! :D Thank you again Mandy for every incredible moment, I will be repeating as often as I possibly can!
