Agree with all ... hopefully that is the case. Just sad to see another one of our seasoned veterans, who has contributed so much positive stuff to the board, leave like that. Hopefully he is just taking a breather and will be back soon.

Has anyone heard from our friend Secret Admirer? He is now showing up as Account not Active and no indication from his last posts that anything was up. Never asked a question like this before ... hope its OK. If someone knows, maybe they can PM me.

Best wishes to everyone going to the party ... glad to hear, for the benefit of the organizers, that its a sell-out.

I had a chance to re-acquaint myself with Miss Class/Courtney recently and she is as wonderful as ever. An extremely attractive, very, very bright young lady. I will be seeing her again the next time I am in town next month. I understand from speaking with her that she might be making a rare public appearance via cerb in the next couple days (I assume via Ottawa announcements). She usually limits her appointments to a very small, established group of clients, so this might be a very rare chance to meet up with a really wonderful lady.

Thanks for updating this thread Cato ... as its been a while since I have been in Ottawa, I need to live my hobbying life vicariously through you!

Nicely dione Cato!

Boy, that's hardly time to even get your pants on and off (smile). Maybe when I was a teenager that would work... I suspect the reason most would not want to offer this service is that you probably tend to attract the wrong element. Ths sounds a lot like street activity to me. Also, there's a certain amount of time a lady needs to put in to getting ready and cleaning up each time, and that seems to go up exponentially with 15 minute appointments. Maybe if its a lady you know well from prior visits and you're in the neighborhood?

Just a slightly different view ... these ladies can very easily drop off the scene for many weeks of months and then come back. Unless you sense something unusual in her communications or behavior right before she stopped responding, there's an extremely strong liklihood that the lady in questions just needs space right now. This can be a bit of a shock is you are used to regular communication and suddenly that stops. Guy to guy, one thing to ask yourself just to make sure: are you asking because of a legitimate concern about her safety, or are you asking out of a sense of control or entitlement to a response? Its an important "reality check" question to regularly think about when you are engaged in hobbying. As to what to do, probably the best thing to do is to contact other members you believe to be her friends (respectfully, as suggested here) or post a "has anyone seen" message in the related area-specific portion of cerb.

Its nice to have a list of ladies as I cant always easily plan ahead for my trip to Ottawa. One thing I have done before is to see who is "ON" cerb and send a PM as its not always easy to call ahead because of my situation. There is the list of daily announcements ... I hope the ladies are taking advantage of this as its the easiest way to determine who is available on relatively short notice.

Late to this issue as well, but what about a rule that the additional post has to add something substantive to the original recommendation. I dont know that it has to be an additional review based on a visit, but it probably should be more information about the lady in question.

Getting a late start here, but: 1. Have your own computer and use private browsing. Always clear cookies. 2. Try to plan cash withdrawals to they are not big (better yet, just save some of your own cash on the side. 3. Agreed as to using your own gmail (or similar internet based) address ... that you keep entirely personal and confidential. 4. Get a pay as you go phone and figure out a way to pay for it without putting changes on your mutual credit card.

Being born and growing up early in my life in New Orleans, I had a pretty thick southern accent. When we moved to Chicago when I was 7, that wasn't helpful and I got hassled quite a bit ... I had to "unlearn" that quickly and get on the boring midwest accent bus. For me, its Russian and British, but especially Russian when it is spoken by a fellow female employee in my office who also happens to be a very pretty (and very married) ... boy, that's sexy! Has kind of a secret agent sound to it.

I tend to agree with a lot of points raised in the movie ( I haven't seen it but I have seen numerous summaries). But here's the thing ... Any time the government subsidizes bad economic behavior ... be it a wall street bailout or a mortgage or other subsidy to someone who couldn't get it in the open market, you are going to get more of that bad behavior and a re-occurrence of the problem. and i dont agree things are rigged ... Exactly what is rigged? The only systems that are potentially rigged are the systems sponsored by governments where political power can be used to influence the result. And back to Occupy ...., I mean no disrespect, but to me it's just a bunch of whiners who can't even enunciate what they want, what they want "fixed," and why what they want will "fix" the "problem.". I agree with April ... Go occupy a job! (smile)

I think the whole occupy movement is completely goofy. No coherent message and no clue about economics. As long as its not gained by criminal activity, I have no issue whatsoever with people trying to make as much money as they can. Capitalism isn't perfect, but it's brought incredible weath and opportunity to most of the world, not to mention that it is a whole heckuva lot better than any of the alternatives.

Almighty Kubrickfan? OD, you're the one that has achieved that status!!! Congrats BTW. And to our original poster, just jump in ... the water's fine!

Welcome. Good contributors, and contributions, always welcome!

Congrats Jason and PK ... keep up the good work!

Absolutely. Being his friend requires you to tell him the truth when you think he's wrong, but that does't mean not standing up for him vis-a-vis other people.

Wow ... Cool peacock! (smile) Congratulations!

Of course it's reasonable. If this guy did this more than once (everyone has a right to blow off some steam, no matter how misguided), it would be "career-limiting" decision! And maybe even a career-ending one..

Best wishes PP.

Well said! Beautiful eyes.

Agreed. That's my point .... if drlove is going for a "compact" paradigm, using an iPod or streaming through iTunes or other application may be a good idea.

As others have said, acting respectful, polite and interested, along with being clean and well dressed will address every concern. If you have a third eye in the middle of your head, or extra appendanges, or missing appendanges, or it you are extremely overweight ... well, you may want to mention something to the lady in advance to avoid any surprises.
