Congratulations... keep them coming.

Just got to my seats at the IceCaps game in time for the warm up... IceCaps vs Syracuse Crunch... and as a bonus it's Buddy the Puffin (IceCaps Mascot) Bobble head night and I scored a few for some young guys who will love to get them.. Additional Comments Home from the game... IceCaps won 4 to 0... next game is same opponent tomorrow night.

Homemade pancakes some with blueberries and some with strawberries and whipped cream... it would not be Shrove Tuesday without them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrove_Tuesday In Newfoundland and Cape Breton Island small tokens are frequently cooked in the pancakes. Children take delight in discovering the objects, which are intended to be divinatory. For example, the person who receives a coin will be wealthy; a nail indicates that they will become or marry a carpenter.

If she is an established well reviewed lady on here then I would think you should be fine.

You are undoubtedly correct about it being easier than catching a rabbit... but there is something to be said for the excitement of the hunt... and while I am by no means a traditional hunter I am not against hunting so long as you eat what you catch... Now as a side note of interest for those who may not know this there are no wild "rabbits" in Newfoundland we do have a relative of the rabbit family on the island the haire. Maybe someday a wild rabbit will make its way to the island and breed here and then who knows what might come out of it.

While I have some problems with the way the OP asked his question I think I agree with Phaedrus that some benefit can come out of the dialogue in terms of helping people understand more about what's involved in working in this industry and that there is a lot more to it than just showing up for an hour. Additionally reminding ourselves that regardless of what the rate of compensation is people deserve to be treated with respect for the choices they make for themselves is important. Just my Opinion

Where exactly did I say that... you expressed your opinion and I expressed mine... what exactly is wrong with a diverse expression of opinion on on discussion board? Where exactly is the personal attack... if anything your most recent post is a direct attack on me.... my posts have not directly referenced you or quoted you. Yes I referenced a backup plan and indicated that I did not see how that would work... if i have a booking with a lady that is my plan you of course can have any planning that works for you. Readers of our posts can choose for themselves what is appropriate for them. I readily admit it... I have an opinion on lots of topics discussed on here... imagine that a member of a discussion board expressing his opinion... what a concept. But wait a minute you have made 3716 posts on here and I have made 3569 hmmmm seems I am not the only one with an opinion and that to me is a good thing. Where you are wrong is in making the assumption that I somehow want to limit other people's comments when in fact I think we need exactly the opposite... we need more voices expressing THEIR opinion. Just because someone has a different opinion then you does not mean you are wrong it's the way dialogues become informed and new considerations are brought forward. The only limit I would place on that is that we should be respectful in our dialogue.... disagreeing with someone or expressing an opposing opinion is not disrespectful. As for the the actual topic on hand your initial post said this... And frankly I would agree with you on that... it was the main point of my post... things like this happen in the industry and you need to roll with the punches... I would hate to see how personal you would take it if I actually disagreed with you. As in the past I will look forward to your continued expression of your opinion on a variety of topics on this board and I encourage others to do the same it will make this a better place for all of us. Have a great day...

It is nice when you meet someone whose presence can put some colour in your cheeks :) Additional Comments: It's a snowday here in St. John's so slow start to the day but shortly I will be heading out to clear out the driveway.

Your original post clearly indicated that based on your opinion paying more than $240/$260 for a hour with a lady in this industry was not good value for YOUR money ... fine you are entitled to your opinion but let's face it your approach to expressing that opinion clearly took a swipe at ladies who charge more and frankly that undertone is clearly articulated in your "golddigger" comment... no wonder you place such a low value on spending time with these ladies you have such a low opinion of their character. You may not agree with their business approach and you may think that they are not worth the money they are charging but how about at least showing some respect for them as people... they like you and I are going about their lives trying to support themselves and their families. What's the outcome you are looking for from your post??... it appears you have a very strong opinion about what ladies should charge... what their expenses should be... and every other facet of THEIR business. Perhaps you want the job as customer ombudsman for the Sex Industry the guy who will stand up for all us poor little guys who are getting taken advantage of by the big bad ladies in this industry... Let's get real the majority of the ladies in this industry work extremely hard to make a living... you have heard several of the ladies outline their expenses and frankly very few leave this industry rich... sure it pays for school or supports their family or allows them some extras that their regular job does not allow for. The professional ladies in this business have made a choice to take control of their own employment... to decide for themselves how they work and when they work... they offer a very personal and intimate service to us men so of course they should be free to decide what they want to charge you or I or any other guy for that matter does not have to agree with that price... they can make a different choice that reflects their personal situation. Just my Opinion

Posts that suggest that ladies who have outlined a preference are racists or suggest that the personal reasons for that preference are silly or unrealistic don't really respect their choice. Is it realist to think that sometimes the decision might be based on Racism sure but likewise it is also realistic to think it could be for lots of the other reasons that ladies here have extoled endlessly in many threads s suggesting it is discrimination in all cases is wrong in my opinion. If all of us guys are so intent on ensuring there is no discrimination in this industry I guess all we need is a phone number and we will be 100% fine with whoever opens the door... let not let our wanting to be politically correct exceed the reality that for this industry to provides the best service it's important that both the lady and the client are happy to be there. If the ladies out there have a preference to not be intimate with older overweight guys like me then I hope they puts it in the ad or tell me during the booking process. Just my Opinion

Unless there was more going on here then a strict Business relationship then I would have to agree with Carrie on this one I don't think there is any financial obligation to your service provider.... You are not paying her bills you are purchasing time and companionship from her so unless you have made other more specific contractual arrangement with her that's where it ends. Now having said that I would add that while I don't think there is an ongoing financial obligation I do think that if you have developed a regular and frequent schedule of bookings ie every Tuesday at 3 and you or her are thinking of ending or changing that arrangement then it should be brought up with the other party ASAP so that either party can plan accordingly. This is not really an obligation more just common courtesy. Just my Opinion

I think you kind of answered your own question... the individual situation will determine what is appropriate... and of course both the request and the response should be respectful. Grass-Hoppers suggestion about providing as much details as possible still applies. Generally I can't expect a lady to reply immediately or frankly within my time frames but likewise she can't expect me to wait for her reply. If I contacted a lady about a short notice (sameday booking) and I did not hear back within 2 hours I would be very comfortable with moving on and explaining that if/when I did hear back from her. If I was doing an advance booking (a better approach but not always possible) then I would not have a problem waiting a few days to hear back from her. The further out the booking date the longer I would be willing to wait as I would assume I have done my homework and I want to meet this specific lady. Just my Opinion

Pork tenderloin roast with vegetables...

The Globe and Mail carried a story on Feb 4th about National Geographic list of the Top Ten Ocean front cities in the world... Included on the list was St. John's NL. Now you might wonder why I post this story as news here... well just wanted to let all the wonderful touring ladies who are planning their spring trips know... Icebergs... Whales... and interested men. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/national-geographic-picks-st-johns-among-top-10-oceanfront-cities/article22779564/

In my experience if my booking with a lady fall through and I can't book with someone on short notice I never tend to go home empty handed in fact quite the opposite it means I have to take things directly in my own hands lolol it means I go to my Plan C I have a booking with the "Palm Sisters" Lol Sorry... just kidding I get your point Luckyme.

I agree with Grass_Hopper the more information you give the lady in your opening request the smoother the conversation will go... if your request is last minute and time sensitive then tell her and that way if she is busy or not working the day of your request she will realize this when she does read your text and act accordingly.. ladies tend to get lots and lots of messages and only a small portion turn into bookings so keep that in mind. And you know sometimes even the most amazing lady can be having a bad day and may reply inappropriately lol let's face it we have all been there. Just my Opinion

Well from my perspective your proposition is that a difference in height between a client and a lady could be a vertical challenge when in my experience that obvious outcome is a very fun and entertaining Horizontal solution. I am 6 ft tall and have seen tall and short ladies with great success (well in my opinion anyway... lol... they might have a different opinion). Of course when you are engaged in a rigorous game of.... Let's say tiddlewinks then you always have to think about angles and body position so as to best tiddle your wink. I have found that careful selection and usage of common things found in the game play area can make the world of difference... A well place pillow.... the selection of the perfect height table, bench or counter top... can make the world of difference .... bending at the knees when you manipulate the wink can have a wonderful impact allowing you to play to a level that will leave the person you are playing with either speechless or perhaps screaming at you for your extraordinary game play. One final suggestion that I have learned over the years of playing tiddlewinks and that is that proximity to the wink is extremely important in many cases you will find that great success can be had when you position yourself with your face adjacent to the wink so close in fact that you are breathing on it... this can be accomplished by ensuring your playing area is large and flat ( a bed is a great option) so that you can lie down and get your face up close to the wink so you can explore all the various playing angles.... this game of tiddlewinks is all about the details and if you take the time to do the hands on exploration needed I guarantee you it will drive the person you are playing with crazy. Hey but what do I know... I don't play professionally but I do like to wet my whistle from time to time. Just my Opinion

I kind of fall in the shit happens camp so i think you need to be able to roll with the punches. I have been doing this now for well over 20 years and yes I have had cancellations by me and cancellations by ladies but in my experience it is very very rare for this to happen without some communication from the lady. I know on a few occasions I have been lied to by ladies (this is a very small community and just like the ladies talk so to do clients) but I decided a long time ago to not not spend too much time worrying about things I can't control... if she is a no call no show I do the same thing I would expect her to do... Don't book with the person any more and move on with life. In an ideal world every Client and every SP would act with 100% integrity and trust and honest would not be a problem but this is the real world not Disney World so we have to be realistic and expect that there will be Unreliable Clients and SP's... of course we should encourage good communication and not condone a*sshole behavior like NCNS but let's not over react when it actually happens. In my experience the best way for us guys to reduce the level of occurrence of type of behavior is to try and stick to well established well known ladies who have spent considerable time building a reputation for service in this industry...(side note and a reference to another recent thread on SP rates ... this is one of the things you are likely to get with that higher price) it won't guarantee no problems but it will certainly reduce the number of times you are disappointed. Frankly I would have to think hard to come up with very many problems like this that I have had with established well respected Lyla ladies usually when they make a booking it's solid. The less established ladies... who have a different name in every city they visit and generally book on a "just in time" basis tend to be much less reliable if you are not calling to book for right now or in the next few hours they tend in my experience to be just like the last minute clients pretty unreliable. I have seen ladies Ads that have caught my eye and tried to book for the next day and gotten responses like "that time tomorrow should be great but you will have to call me in the morning to confirm" that's not really the same as "great I have you booked for 3 pm please call me an hour before the appointment so we can confirm the location". All to often in the first example the ladies is not answering in the morning or is busy or whatever..... so I just move on. As for a plan B.... I am not sure how that works do I double book so I backup lady is available? Sure if I a traveling and have the the time and a lady backs out at the last minute I might improvise and check the ads to see if someone else is available on short notice but that's not always possible so I guess my Plan be is to just know that unfortunately associated with the great pleasure you can find in this industry there is also the reality of some frustration and disappointment so you have to take some of that bad with the good and just move on when it happens. For us guys the reality that there will be no show of a lady is a disappointment ... A pain in the a*ss undoubtedly but for the ladies when us clients don't show it can dramatically impact their livelihood ... it can mean that instead of a trip having a positive financial outcome then it can be a loss ... that risk too has to be built into their pricing hmmm no wonder this extracurricular activity is so expensive. Just my Opinion

Home from the IceCaps game which they lost 3 to 2 in OT... actually 5 seconds into OT... so now watching Furious 7 on TV

My last purchase was groceries this afternoon... just the basic stuff but with one great addition... Girl Guide Cookies that were being sold by some kids at the exit... so last purchase but snack for tonight.

:) I see what you did there... we get that great visual mental image of you in a tiny pink panty plus a wonderful taste sensation crosses our mind... oh yea and on top of that we think about bubblegum. Lol

Funny I thought this was the discussion... were we all suppose to agree?

Didn't your mother teach you it's not nice to laugh at people.... and especially if they are naked..... and you never know I might be.... lol

Laying on the couch... watching TV while contemplating "the Whole Sha-Bang"

I was doing what I normally do each morning checking the posts on LYLA and my twitter feed when I came across a Twitter post from the wonderful LYLA Goddess Autumn Raine http://www.lyla.com/vbulletin/member.php?u=110704 In her twitter post she was promoting her new Massage Spa services (opens this Friday by the way) that she is introducing with a Electronic Poster she developed While perusing her new spa services poster I came across the phrase "Autumn's Whole Sha-Bang" and frankly it just made me smile... what a great word... I had of course heard of it before but never really in this context and frankly it's a great word for this industry... "The Whole Sha-Bang Booking" you know, one with everything included (for the uninitiated I am of course referring to tiddlewinks and a movie). Well being the a*ss that I am I decided to Google the term and things got even better when I noted the word has a meaning in computer programing but it also has an abbreviation #! Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_(Unix) So just imagine the new opening texts we could see in future when guys are making a booking.... "Hi...saw your ad on LYLA and you look amazing are you available this afternoon for #!?" Let's face it that's way shorter then typing tiddlewinks lolol The Urban Dictionary http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=shabangalso had definitions... "shabang - everything including the extras... comes with the whole shabang" or "Shabang ... the person in your group that usually gets the party crackin, and keeps the party crackin. Without this person you can sit for hours bored wondering where this person is." or "Sha-Bang...it means like EVERYTHING HOT so if you say a girl or guy has the whole Sha-Bang it means their gorgeous and have it ALL... making you turn your head to stare!" Hey they all seem appropriate to me.... such a great multi-purpose word for this industry.... feel free to use it as you see fit lol
