Speaking of egg rolls.... The Golden Palace on Carling at Woodroffe Ruby Palace on Bank at Walkley

Someone asked me the other day where to order good pizza from in Orleans, and I thought we haven't had a thread about good places to order from/pick-up or dine in (in a casual setting), so I thought I'd start one. Since I'm in Ottawa, here are my favourite placess. Pizza: House of Pizza, Convent Glen Mall, Orleans Louie's Pizza, Vanier (Pick-up/dine-in only - no delivery) Colonnade Pizza (Metcalfe/Gilmour is orig. location - have not tried any other lcoations) Bellavista Pizza (Alta Vista/Bank) KS Pizza (Pick-up/dine-in only - no delivery -South Keys Shopping mall across parking lot from Walmart) Shawarma: Cedar Valley, Orleans (their fatouch salad is to die for) Alissa (St. Laurent at Industrial) Burgers: Five Guys (Trainyards and coming soon to Innes Rd. Orleans) The Works (St. Laurent/Hemlock) Sandwiches Made to Order: DiRienzo's Confectionary (Beech/Champagne St.) Chicken Wings: House of Pizza, Orleans Royal Oak (Dine-in only, half price Mon. nites) 24 Hour Places to Chow Down: The Elgin Street Diner Eddy's Fast Lunch, Montreal Road near Vanier Parkway Smoke Meat: Chenoy's in Gatineau What are some of your places?

I like Mrrnice2 because he can take a joke about PEI potatoes. On that note, I just discovered PEI Potato Vodka. Who would've known.... http://goodfoodrevolution.wordpress.com/2010/05/20/pei-potato-vodka/

I like Samantha because she is often the voice of reason around here.

He was asking about the club, so you were mentioning "names".

Prostitution sweeps are basically for street level action, as reported in this article. These sweeps happen a few times a years and have been going on for years. I have never paid them any mind. Unless you're picking up a girl off the street and driving to some back alley or following her into places like the Ottawa Inn or some crack house, you should be fine.

Me too - but hurry, I'm turning blue. Sophia: As frustrating and illogical as it is, it all comes down to no appointment time scheduled, no appointment scheduled and no guarantee I will be available at that time when you decide. Period.

Further to what Luxie was saying, assaults and robberies and other altercations are rare, but they do happen and it only takes that one time that could be difference between life and death. I can recall at least 3 or 4 times in the past few years when girls (mostly new to the business or desperate for cash) called me up crying to tell me something had happened. And when I asked for the guy's number so I could at least bad date list it, they sheepishly admitted the guy called blocked or from a payphone or using a calling card. In one instance, the guy grabbed her wallet out of her purse (even though she had no money in it), and chucked it in the garbage in the front of her building, so she was lucky to get it back, but still.... So, even though a callback number is not a guarantee of safety, it's just one minimal measure most of us have as a record of something rather than nothing. It's a very little thing to ask for. No offence, but you are just not "that important" for me to want to screw around with privacy or ruin your life by me having your number. I don't even care if your name is Tom, Dick or Harry, but a number - yes, that's all I ask for is a callback number. Regular hobbyiests have known the drill for years that if they want to book an appointment, the minimal they have to provide is a number. When you start thinking you are more special than others and we should give exceptions, you are already not respecting a lady's boundaries, so no wonder she isn't going to be too warm to the idea of even seeing you. Unless the guy or lady (stick with reputable providers) has a agenda, this should NEVER be an issue. Period.

You know you're old when you remember visiting your great grandfather and this is where you went to the bathroom.

I adore Meg because she has great sense of humour and can roll with the punches.

I actually know an SP who was going to the States to visit (not work) and she was denied entry because when asked if she had ever been arrested or convicted of a crime, she admitted to them she had been arrested once for prostitution (even though she doesn't have a criminal record). She is now blacklisted from entering the States. That's what telling the truth got her. If she had kept her mouth shut, they would have none the wiser, but she did not know what kind of information they had in their computer system.

I like Tokan because his Beaker avatar is just so damn cute! Meep Meep!

Cristy: Paypal is not adult-site friendly and you could end up losing money. Check this thread out for more details: http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=84432

There are too many SPs advertising in Ottawa on a daily basis to ensure one's ad stays on the first page. The 12 hour rule is to prevent spamming (people posting multiple times a day). I think it's the best solution. I think guys are cognizant enough to scroll through subsequent pages.

Just from a logistical standpoint, it wouldn't work. There are only so many ladies (paid or not) whose ad can appear on the first page, so if you are the 21st one who wants to pay, it won't matter, you'll still end up on the top of the 2nd page. I am grateful we are able to post every 12 hours and not have to pay.

There are many fine, intelligent ladies who know how to market themselves and have been doing so for years on the Internet on various sites and boards such as CERB and all perfectly legal. I also believe most of them know how to please a man too, or they wouldn't still be in business. On another note, when referring to paraphernalia on the lawn, they were referring to used condoms, etc. left behind by street walkers. I used to rake nasty things up from behind the hedges bordering my dad's property which backed onto a cul-de-sac in Vanier where some of them would take their johns. I don't think this applies to anyone advertising online unless they're working outdoors.

I offer a 45 minute option and yes, I have clients who request it.

Chanel, I think you meant to say escort-site (not Escorts-Canada). Sometimes the server goes down. Just be patient and try again in a few hours.

Just for the record, it's not just "men" who are soliciting us, I have had women contacting me as well. I find it more of a nuisance than an insult. I chalk it up to misinformed and misguided would-be opportunists who see this new change as a chance to jump on the gravy train.

I would ignore all future correspondence and keep copies. Since you haven't done anything illegal, you have nothing to worry about if she does indeed call the cops.

I like Porthos because he has such neat ever-changing avatars and interesting posts.

Sorry to hear about your friend, Carrie. I remember you saying he was like a big teddy bear. A tragedy that didn't have to be.

Wow, talk about the word spreading like wild fire. I know this your Halifax party and I have no hand in organizing it or having anything really to say about it, except that this needs to be addressed sooner than later. I have already have a few ladies who have pm'd me concerned about some of the guys who are under the impression that a social means they can expect things like "lap dances" and the girls performing in other ways, etc. You need to be very clear that at least as far as the Ottawa socials were concerned, it was just that "a social" - a place to meet and greet without any hanky panky, groping or inappropriate gestures or language being toelrated. So for those of you who think your $20 is the key to the Champagne room, you might want to rethink your expectations. Private parties where ladies offer services is another type of party format that is generally not organized at a public location. I will look to the organizers Penelope and Taloon to back me on this point, that this is a public social where folks are expected to behave accordingly? Carry on...

My first reaction would be to say keep your mouth shut and keep that information to yourself and just continue on as normal. Do you really want them knowing you're a hobbyiest or SP yourself? Is it a conversation you really want to have? I'd say if you do approach them, depending on how well you know them and what your relationship is, it could make if very uncomfortable for them. What a person doesn't know, can't hurt them. Just my two cents.
