Actually you are correct, the OP didn't blame the SP. This post laid some blame on the SP however, and I believe that is where the replies in regards to blaming her came And given the revised version of events, I would suggest that the manager of the hotel be contacted and a complaint lodged against that lady working the front desk. It now sounds like she is trying to scare visitors away. Frankly if it was me and I was asked what room and who I was seeing I would have told her to go rub salt...it's none of her business. Hotels aren't supposed to keep track of the comings and goings of hotel visitors and guests I'm sure what she allegedly did violates their privacy policy. A rambling RG

Was told a few weeks ago that our "Payment In Lieu Of Severance Pay" would be paid the first week of May. Well got a text message from someone at work this morning, the Compensation Department hasn't even began processing the payments, and won't start until May 29. At least it'll be processed on a first come first serve basis and I was one of the first who submitted the paperwork, sent it expresspost We were promised 60 days maximum for this payment, it won't be 90 days at the earliest now...government and unions, all they do is lie RG

Of course I tip, well tip and gift. The amount, that's private, between the ladies and me. But it's more than five dollars to get a Timmies LOL When I go to a restaurant (even take-out), get a haircut, whatever, I tip. What the ladies provide...the companionship, escape, friendships, have a value far exceeding the donation asked, I hope what I give shows my appreciation. So the answer is yes, I tip and gift RG

The lady asking "How can I help you?" was merely a customer service question. That's all It wasn't the opening line in a police interrogation. Had you just said "I'm good" and walked on like you belonged there, this wouldn't have happened Do you know how many people walk by that front desk each and every day. Giving a false name and wrong room number brought attention to you, how that can even be considered remotely the lady's fault escapes me There was another thread just on following instructions, I'll copy/paste it here. Worth a read http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=78942&highlight=instructions As for rebooking with the lady, you indicated she tours, so it may be awhile before she comes back to Winnipeg, and she may want a cancellation fee before she considers booking another encounter RG

When you go to a hotel walk in like you belong there. It was your getting freaked out that drew attention to you. If asked anything by the front desk just say no thank you. But now as has already been suggested, pay the lady her donation via email money transfer, she didn't do anything wrong. And especially for touring ladies not only did she block off that time for you (and for the ladies time equals money) she has the additional expenses of hotel, flight, meals, and incidentals. The only reason you didn't have your date was because you panicked. You should at least make it right RG

Well lunch is a Caesar salad with homemade oil and vinegar dressing washed down with water For dinner, being a bit bad, but it's simple and comfort food too Grilled cheese sandwich washed down with water, and berries for desert RG

What I did was drop the tailgate down on my pick-up. Got some heavy duty garbage bags and went to town. It didn't matter whether the item was still good or not, if I hadn't used it at all, not even looked at it, the item was considered garbage and thrown out. No sentimentality, get ruthless. If I hadn't used it or missed it, it got trashed Only one caveat. Clothes...the ones that suffered from closet shrinkage LOL donated where it could be used by someone in need. But most of the stuff (7 trips to the dump) thrown out. Feels real good after you do it. And I don't have regrets over anything that I've thrown out RG

To go back in time to Oct 12, 2013 and knowing then what I know now I would have avoided Thanksgiving with my family. That weekend, because I was with family, well my life got turned upside down and I'm still dealing with it. Not to mention I no longer like or trust my family Second wish, long and short, happiness. Third wish, just keep it in a back pocket with the freedom to give the wish away to someone if I so choose. RG

OOPS A LITTLE SLOW SOOO

I don't know, being single if I should have an opinion. But I do, here goes. One cornerstone of this lifestyle is discretion. Bringing a companion to your bed, the bed you share with your wife comes dangerously close to flaunting this lifestyle to your SO No one knows another's relationship, but doing this could hurt your SO not only to mention getting the SP caught up in the middle of a fight between husband and wife (or SO & SO) My two cents, be discrete, keep this lifestyle separate from your marital life and get a hotel. If I was in a relationship this lifestyle would be kept separate from my relationship, neither me SO nor the companion need to be dragged in the middle of any drama A rambling RG

Reading and replying to emails, surfing CERB, watching tv, and enjoying breakfast (coffee and berries) Shortly time to get dressed and go for a walk RG

Even with ladies I repeat with I'm nervous...pre date jitters if you will. There is the building anticipation for the "knock on the door" (most of my dates are outcalls to my hotel) and when I answer the door I greet the lady with a hug and kiss. Then we go to the couch, have drinks (usually wine for the lady) and talk...either getting to know one another or catch up But the nervousness, butterflies, pre date jitters, all part of the fun of having a date with a beautiful woman. If you aren't excited, nervous, have pre date jitters, well what's the point in having encounters I hope it never goes away A rambling RG

Congratulations Pisaq on this major milestone Looking forward to your next 2000 contributions RG
