  1. Maybe expectations are too high. As I write this there are 993 current active users online described as 451 members, 387 guests and 155 spiders (whatever that is) and I'm not sure if "hidden" surfers are included within these numbers. I guess the point is, who makes up this community that we speak of ? I'm guessing that there are about 30-40 members maybe more and maybe less who participate publically and regularly in shout or respond to or start threads. Not many when you look at the numbers, probably less than 10% of registered members and 5% or less of active users and one could argue and since Saturday afternoons aren't cerb peak times, the 10% and 5% is might in fact be generous. Anytime you get a small number of people interacting daily or many times daily there's bound to be "dishes flying in the kitchen" once in awhile. I don't sweat it, maybe it's a signal of evolution or renewal which isn't a bad thing. The vast majority obviously use cerb for differing purposes that are not public like pm's to contact providers or previously for profile visits. Maybe Cerb is what it is.....and isn't what it isn't.

  2. Never asked and never would ask. I mention that there's no need to get all fancied up for me. Whatever makes some one feel the most relaxed and comfortable makes sense to me. Peace MG
  3. I needed my glasses to read the thread :).....enough said Peace MG
  4. Based on the number(s) who tour I always assumed there must be a very healthy ROI (return on investment) in order to justify it. Peace MG
  5. I was in my car and had just arrived at my and the news reported a small plane had hit one of the World Trade Centre Towers. By the time I got to my office and turned on the TV, all hell had broken loose. My office faced north toward the airport and all of a sudden many many planes most with logos and markings that were unfamiliar to me were landing one after another. In 1980's I had eaten in Windows on the World and knew the area pretty well. I was to fly to TO on 9/13 and obviously the threat was over and I wasn't affraid to fly. But we saw all the people stranded in airports and felt weird about showing up for some fun, so we gave up our rooms so others could use them and Air Canada refunded our tickets. In other bit of trivia I had flown to TO mid-August and was invited to join the pilots for the arrival. Very cool and I was likely one of the last to ever get to do it. Travel has never been the same :(. Once again the minority has spoiled it for the rest of us. Peace MG
  6. What is Cerb? Folks have wares for sale and buyers have interest in said wares. How these said wares are advertised and promoted is irrelevant for me. Solicit away I say :) Peace MG
  7. "I also learned how powerful all of the SPs on here are!" Bingo! Peace MG
  8. I find it unfortunate that the "minority" in this case can ruin things for the the majority. Peace MG
  9. True Romance! Two great american actors going head to head. Note a young James Gandolfini off to the side learning how to be Tony Soprano. http://youtu.be/55fR6UUFH-A Peace MG
  10. Thanks for the feedback :) There hasn't been much. Peace MG
  11. The one hour before text or call confirmation with no answer/response is the worst and frankly these days I think 50/50 might be a bit too generous. It particularly sucks because we prepare as well, we clear our schedules, some clean up as it were and while I do get someone not being into it on any given day and for a variety of reasons, at least be polite enough to cancel.... And to show I'm fair :) I think that clients who no show without calling or texting to cancel are the worst as well.... Peace MG
  12. Just happened yet again after confirming and reconfirming.....well that's a wrap for me. Peace MG
  13. Poor service is indemic in today's society as we all know, whether one spends hours on the phone being told mechanically how important you are to said company, or not being able to find a clerk to provide any assitance and on and on and certainly this game has not been immune to it. For this reason I have reduced my participation and have found it much less frustrating than chasing my own tail. I concur that some of the "reviews" on the other erb can be over the top, but I'll say this more than a couple of "train wrecks" have been outed which in the end is good for all involved. Balance is the key. Peace MG
  14. Had one in my left ear..had to take it out to play baseball (goofy rule). Never put it back in. Peace MG
  15. I concur. Only thing I can figure is the demand must be far greater than the supply. Pretty discouraging all in all. I just got tired of chasing my tail and have taken time off for this very reason. Peace MG
  16. Tell me about it too. Seems to go both ways. Either way it's sort of rude. Peace MG
  17. I'm curious, would that have been a paying gig? Or a sort once in a lifetime fun thing? Peace MG
  18. Nathalie, I read it before you re-evaluated. And I was going to comment that I couldn't have said it better. I struggled with it early as I'm sure lots do. Both parties are extremely vulnerable and emotions can and do run high. Afteral if you see someone more than a couple of times you must like something about them. Balance is the key to everything and finding ones balance here is pretty crucial. Though a little confusion once in awhile has some merit. Peace MG
  19. I think 45 minutes would be perfect for me. And sometimes I get that without even asking :) Peace MG
  20. Since I prefer a jeans and tshirt natural girl next door look, a wig would seem fake to me. Though I could probably use one myself...lol. Peace MG
