The General

My personal view is that our personalities we are born with, although they get shaped quite a bit through experiences. Personally, I have always been shy, mostly lacking some personal confidence and also protecting myself, since I like to be 110% certain before I say to much, which results in often not saying much. I find it interesting that those that participate the most, often speak before they think, and sometimes what comes out, jeez, what were they thinking. Of yea, I said they speak and then think. But they are the most entertaining people in the world and I am jealous of them, but really hard to change your core personality. I am not really sure what shaped me in this why, I think very little, mostly what shaped me was probably how I managed myself personally. My dad was a very addictive type of person, loved to socialize, drink and then gamble. I just wanted to be more prudent, the problem being sometimes we become the anti of our parents. I now am trying to convince myself that life is short and enjoy it while you can. I am still working on that one, and need to loosen up a bit.....but that is a personality change.....hard work. And with all the worldly bad news, hard to not be prudent, when that is you.. The other thing I found was having couple friends, tends to end pretty quick when the couple is no longer a couple.... And the women tend to drive the social agenda, which is great, but I think ends up leaving the guys outside the couple friends. So, life begins again, and I am very content, but one should never be fully satisfied... have fun my friends and enjoy.

I am such a tradionalist. Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Peas and Carrots, Stuffing and then lots of gravy and cranberry sauce..... And of course, got to have my candy cane ice cream for dessert, not that we don't get enough of that kind of sweet stuff already. And I ready a bit about gravy this year and followed what they said, which is to cool down the drippings and allow the fat to rise and cool and then skim it off. The gravy was terrific, no fat but lots of flavour...... And I have a week's worth left over of everything, and don't think I will get sick of it... Time to have a turkey sandwich, lunch is calling.

There is definitely something that draws me to Cerb, I do drop by often. Let me see..... 1) In enjoy going into the chat room, to see how is around, and while I don't often lead a conversation, do enjoy joying in. 2) To check on what is the topic of the day, enjoy reading many of the insightful comments. 3) Allows a great openness in an area that is often socially taboo. 4) Love to see what ladies are around and about. 5) The social contacts that have developed and to see if they are around. So, many good things that draw me in. It is a great site for us to communicate and find out what is going on.

I would say that well it is possible, it is a narrow field overall. So, it may work, but there is probably a greater risk that over time, the relationship, on one side or the other, moves to a more a loving relationship. So, be careful of what seems to be FWB, but good chance it won't stay as such. Sure there can be, but beware of the risks, they are not small.

Yes indeed, it was a lot of fun meeting many people. Sometimes we don't really understand what it takes to put together an event like this. Hats off to both Angela and Santa (Old Dog) for all there hard work. It is much appreciated.

I would not recommend the idea of deleting your history all the time, it would be best to not use a computer you share at all. The deleting of history itself, brings much suspicion.

I am about 5-6 hour per night sleeper, so I don't really have trouble getting to sleep, but would love to get more sleep. That said, other than an occasional tired day, my body seems to function reasonably well with that little sleep.

I certainly have done many more incalls than outcalls, but I think they both have some appeal. I enjoy the sense of getting excited and anixous heading to an incall, but enjoy being in my own surroundings with an outcall. So, I would have to say that it depends on my mood at the time.

Yes, this lady is extremely popular and just gorgeous...wow

Hell Berlin, I am still learning. It is a life long adventure and have learnt a ton even here on Cerb. I have to say, my parents never gave me any background, so I learnt through friends, etc. Oh, and I like your reference to it "being crammed down your throat". Left me with a different imagine than what you were trying to portray. But then again, I am learning all the time.

It is unfortunate it was not discussed, but clearly the client should have paid the normal rate. In fact, usually outcalls services are more, since you need to make the trip to his place. I guess communication is just incredibly important all the time.

Nice to have that back and the option of hiding your profile. For many, like myself, we enjoy seeing who has visited our profiles. And for those that were concerned about safety, they have the option of turning access off. Win-win for everyone. That is always the best solution. I will be wandering through those lovely profiles, hope to get caught...hehehe

It is amazing how young people can be taken from this world. He was a guru, an amazing visionary and a leader of his industry. Wow, no matter how much money you have in this world, your health is #1. Take care of yourself. I sometimes think stress on the body (and someone that had this type of vision would always be under stress) is so dangerous and we just don't understand it. Very sad day indeed.:cry:

I agree with waiting until your next visit to get your hair cut, but geez, just make it necessary tomorrow and go in. Who says you need to wait 4-6 weeks. And, for me, I just want to know where you go for your hair, I want to make an appointment myself....lol

Yep Old Dog that excuse has been working quite well, don't you think. You must be exhausted by now working all the overtime. I used to go shopping on Saturdays, running around and while in those days it was SC, but would have allowed plenty of time for seeing an SP too. I tend to be a browser and like to window shop. Come to think of it, perhaps it never worked for me either, since I now am a single guy....more or less.

Now that football season is back, Sunday nights, football and Barbs is a great combination.

Shallow, actually I think the subject is pretty deep in general. People, and I don't think that is limited to just the guys, notice first the overall attraction to someone else, which is more based on physical appearance, than personality. So, we start with attraction, and I don't think our view of attraction is different based on our own attractiveness. For someone to comment that they find someone not attractive seems pretty normal, I am not sure why this is found offensive in general. The difference being that if the other person does not find you attractive, the relationship likely moves nowhere, while actually it never is a relationship. No matter how attracted you are to that other person. If there is the beginning relationship, then it moves on to other factors, such as sexuality and personality. This is why so many initial relationships struggle is that while there was a physical attraction, the other factors often don't work together and the relationship quickly fizzles out. I see nothing wrong in people stating the attraction or lack of attraction at the beginning, is this shallow, perhaps, but it is reality too. I suspect that a large majority of people in society are shallow then. Sometimes people that didn't start out with attraction, fell together because there was some other reason that they got the opportunity to learn more about the person's sexuality and personality. Often this happens when they work together and perhaps get over the initial non-attraction or limited attraction that in a casual meeting, would have ended right there and then. So, I wouldn't be so hard on the initial friend that commented on the photo, regardless of whether you thought the person should not have limited their view on attraction to about their own level of attractiveness, or to not have judged a book by the cover. Signed, your shallow CERB member.

You need to check under "S" for sexyjenny. Here is a link to her recommendation though. http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?ltr=S&t=58526 Additional Comments: Oops, sorry wrong Jenny. But perhaps a good alternative.

Sometimes growing is a challenge and moving from a small structure, one that is very personable, to one that is more challenging, can be a shock in terms of the ability to adjust. And re-assessment is necessary and a decision to reconsider running more as a boutique is best. Hopefully the transition back goes smoothly and things work out for the best. Good luck.

What about Catherine Tramell (Sharon Stone), Basic Instinct. Additional Comments: And then there is Meridith Johnson (Demi Moore) from Disclosure. At 50, she is still a fox.

Well done Old Dog, keep it going. Your posts are great, I love all the photos that you find and put up. Geez, I am so tech challenged, I find it amazing what you can do.

Congratulations, unbelievable the contributions you have made around here, and over a short time. Almost 6 posts a day, you have many views and lots to say, terrific.

Well deserved WIT, you have made a great contribution to this board.

I agree with "Old Dog", this site is/has been a great experience for many/all of us and we should appreciate what we have here. The internet has brought us much closer together and provides for a lot more dialogue and discussion. At times the written words can be a bit harsh, and often easy to mis-convey our views and those views can be easily be mis-intrepreted too. We should remember, we are all here for particular reasons and we have many common interests. We should all take a few seconds, reach out and touch our friends on here and move forward to a place where we all love to come and look, chat and just feel good about our lives. I would like to reach out to all my friends here and just say that it is an honour to be on a board to so many great people. Cheers and all the best.
