daddio

Hey, Erin; I'm in Halifax, which I think is closer to you than Winnipeg. But then, with Air Canada you may be cheaper closer to Winnipeg. Anyway, if you ever come to Halifax let me know and I will visit you in my kilt and my Lion Rampant (means a Lion "standing" - on its hind legs) And I, unlike the fabled haggis of Scotland, have only one pair of legs, so you can guess what will be "rampant". hehe

WIT - I'm thinking that you should add a "W" to your handle - "Wrinkled, but Wise, In Time". Once again you have managed to articulate my interior devious thought processes as I attempt to deceive myself that I can afford to indulge myself more than my bank manager likely thinks I can. It's a kind of interior decorating; you have to keep changing the colours and the furniture to keep your environment fresh. As for voodoo accounting not working in Scotland; that's why I'm in Canada. lol. You must have read what happened to the banks in Scotland this past year!!!

The short answer is - not often enough. To paraphrase a Tom Waits song - this was the year I reached my peak. It averaged about 1.5 per month. The point fives were not very satisfactory! lol But, I learned something about quality over quantity this year and hopefully I will learn from that experience. Otherwise, as they say, I am doomed.

Nancy Sinatra - "C'mon boots, get walkin'" The boots we are discussing are for another kind of aerobic activity, not walkin'. !!!

For me: Amelia Heart Emily in Toronto Miss Voyeur Each has illuminated the sometimes dull routine of my daily life - and I thank them for it.

thanks for the advice guys. Problem is- I'm good at making budgets, but like all our governments, I tend to go into deficit spending. lol btw - when I see Cowboy Kenny riding his horse down Barrington Street in Halifax, then I'll give him $20.00 and take his advice. lol I do get the quality over quantity aspect of the budget. Just have to keep the hormones in check. I think I still have some hormones left otherwise I wouldn't be doing this.

Better not. Otherwise I'm a dead skunk lying at the edge of the road.

As a client, I feel very uncomfortable about "watching the clock". Personally, I think it's disrespectful to keep looking at your watch. I've had great experiences where the chemistry is right and the clock winds down, just as I do. They are the best, but you can't predict when it's going to happen. Unless, maybe it's a repeat experience.

I have the impression from reading many posts that there are hobbyists out there with unlimited budgets for indulging this particular hobby. Not so for this guy, who is kind of addicted (let's not get into any medical definition of addiction on this thread) to the companionship that SPs provide. So, I'm kind of wondering it there are many guys who struggle with their personal budgets in order to indulge and, if so, do they have any magic financial solutions. Apart from a "ponzi" (sp?) scheme. lol

Hey WIT Don't worry about time in the usual 3 dimensions. I have a perception that I am much more wrinkly than you. But, if I used some windex on Blake's "doors of perception" I might have a clearer vision. The prospect is a bit scary mind you. I wonder if the vision through rose coloured glasses (non-windexed) is the better/best way to go???

Hey Kiltman - I don't want you getting all the attention from the ladies! I wear the kilt too. But not every day, as I ride a bike and the winter windchill can do nasty things to the organ that carries your vital bodily fluids! lol Assuming that you wear it as a "true" Scot! But, I agree that the kilt is otherweatherwise very comfortable. Air conditioning in the summer. D ps If any ladies in Halifax are interested in finding out what is worn under the kilt - pm me. The old joke is that "nothing's worn under the kilt, everything is in perfect working order."

reading the other posts I'm thinking that I should have added a bit more of an explanation "daddio" = "dude" It's a reference to "puer aeternus" - "eternal child", otherwise known as the "Peter Pan syndrome. I should just grow up!!

"daddio" - previous century's "dude" - see Kerouac "On The Road"

Dear Dr. Gold: I've been looking for that prescription for so long and I could do with at least 33 therapeutic sessions with you. Unfortunately I'm not in Ottawa. Does self-help, do-it-yourself work? Or will I go blissfully blind?

You got it WIT. As the Scottish West Highland gentleman (hobbiest?)said when the meaning of the word "manana" was explained to him "We have no word for such an expression of haste." Today is even hastier.

This has been a very interesting thread and has helped me with perspective. It's the intellectual perspective versus the emotional perspective. I suspect a lot depends on the personal circumstances of the hobbiest. Intellectually I think we all understand that a "date" with an SP is a business transaction. If we lack sexual affection and intimacy in our lives and a good SP fulfills those needs then the associated emotions can blur the line between fantasy and reality. I walk that line and, as I understand from reading this thread, so many others do. And, for me at least, it is good to know that I am not alone in entertaining those feelings. There is another recent thread on the subject of needing to know how to (sexually) please a(n) SP. Posts from the SPs on that thread say that if you come to a date with that perspective then, chances are, you will not be (completely) satisfied because the business is about satisfying you. I needed to have that spelled out to me because I've often felt that what I need to do, is satisfy the woman in my arms. If that were to happen it would be a bonus - a big bonus. Now, if I could only translate what I've written here into my own reality I 'm sure I would feel better. Or would I. Anyway, thanks to cerb for providing a forum to discuss these issues. Far better than a local chapter of SANS (sex addicts anonymous - sans le sex)

The first thing is that free advice is worth exactly what you pay for it. The second thing is I think you've limited your choices. Take into account the fact that none of us is immortal although we like to live life on the basis that we are, or at least close to it. So, my advice is (and remember it's free): Use your money to enjoy the company of many ladies on cerb! You'll help us get out the recession. What do you think ladies?

not so much an exotic song as an erotic song. It may be a generational thing but you should listen to "Je t'aime" - Jane Birkin and Serge Gainasbourg. It came out in the late 60s and was banned in repressed Britannia which by then no longer ruled the waves. It was also banned in Italy and I believe the Pope had something to say about it - nothing good. It is in French - which made it even more erotic. You can find a translation of the lyrics on Wikipedia. I think you'll agree that the lyrics are outrageous!!! lol

That's the title of one of my favourite songs of all time, by Van Morrison, and some of the lines perfectly sum up my experience with Emily - "I want to rock your gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of old And together we will float into the mystic." Some of the other lines are appropriate for Halifax such as hearing the foghorn blow etc. There were no foghorns blowing when I saw her - except figuratively! I love the sound of foghorns - very other-worldly. Y'know how you sometimes think back to something that happened and wonder if the experience was as good as you recall it? Well, I saw Emily during the summer and it was a thrilling experience so I decided to do an approaching-winter "reality check" on my memories of that occasion. Emily likes to get to know you to establish a comfort level and something of a relationship. which is what I like too, and so we began by enjoying conversation and sharing some wine. You've all seen her albums so need to tell you how gorgeous she is. Her personality is warm and friendly and she quickly establishes a wonderful level of intimacy, which is what I like to experience, through teasing, touching and caressing, humour and inquiring about your needs/desires. For me she truly does provide the kind of GFE which she says on her website she will provide. She treats you with respect and expects the same. So, my summer "reality" perfectly checked out. But, seeing as how my memory is subject to failure sometimes, I think I'll have to do another reality check come next spring! lol I hope she keeps on visiting Atlantic Canada.

Thanks W.I.T. I met with Emily in Toronto. Unfortunately she no longer has the mini kilt she is wearing in one of her albums on cerb - but she has everything else she displays! Wonderful experience. D

So far my contribution to CERB has been to post my comments on "threads" - I think. What I want to do is be more proactive and post recommendations for specific SPs. How do I do that?? I'm an old dog but I still enjoy a bone.

Casey is right on the mark, and so are you - in that there are many wonderful ladies here in Atlantic Canada but no-one can make the choice but you. I hail from Scotland many, many years ago and if I were to tell you to go out for a meal of haggis you would likely never forgive me afterwards for wasting your money!! So it's all about personal taste and if you are guided by the cerb recommendations I would guess that you won't go far wrong

yeah - Morgan is a very nice lady - very sweet, very enthusiastic in the way she addresses your desires and you will have no regrets if you contact her. the only other lady I've met from CH is Scotia's # 1 sweetie. And she is a real sweetie. Her hourly rate is very reasonable but if you live in Halifax the transportation costs put the total cost into the range where you might be better looking for someone who provides a real GFE.

Sara is a gem. I read a post recently about an SP not being dressed as requested and the disappointment at that. The one time (so far) I saw Sara was at her previous in location (I haven't yet been to her new apartment). I know exacly where the location was but somehow managed to get lost and arrived about 15 minutes late. I must have been overly excited at the prospect of meeting her!! As I don't have a cell phone I had touched base with her from a pay phone and obviously she was wondering if I had "stiffed" her. When I did arrive she was perfectly understanding and courteous about it. She had checked our e-mails and realised that I did not have a cell phone. She had also checked my preferences for how she should be dressed and she was ready - aprt from the colour and she immediately apologised for hot wearing the colour I had asked for. This should tell you pretty well everything you need to know about her, because her physical attributes and her skills have been testified to. I look for personality, conversation and attitude over and above the activities. Sara is tops in the activities But, just as importantly, and over and above that, she has a wonderful engaging personality and can sit and talk to you as well - about life stuff. That is something I want from the GFE. So, I didn't "stiff" her, she "stiffed" me - and more. Don't hesitate to contact her.

Spoken like a true GFE companion Emma. And you are a true GFE companion. Even when I know you already, as I do, although it's been a while since I saw you, I think it is indeed a matter of showing respect to address you by your name. Perhaps in the body of the text, or when signing off, it might be OK to use "Hun" (e.g. looking forward to seeing you Hun) but I'm not sure if even then I would do that. The world would be lot better with the small courtesies to each other.
