Well up to a minute ago I was watching TV... now I am anticipating Bianca's trip out east. :) Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk

Certainly not the desired start to the encounter but who knows what exactly was happening in her world that day.... One option... invite her to shower lol it might take the encounter in a totally new and pleasant direction. Just my Opinion Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk

I am all in favor of random acts of kindness.... but it's also important for us to actually make looking for ways to give back part of what we do on a regular basis. Often the out of the blue act of kindness for someone who needs help is for a stranger and is spur of the moment and makes us feel great... but having a regular commitment to giving back (when we are in a position to do so) can be so beneficial both for the people receiving the support and for the giver. One of the most important things I think I instilled in my children is to see themselves as part of their community and to find ways to give back and support others. It's so easy to see the bad in our world but if you look for it... It is also easy to see the good and be changed personally by that view. Just my Opinion Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk

If your elected to a position of leadership and you have "grave concerns" about a law you are responsible for administering then you don't monitor it to see how dangerous it makes life for sex workers you take some action.... perhaps you act on the side of caution and refer the new law to the supreme court as it appears they are the only official body in the country that understands the problem. Ms. Wynne... you were elected to provide LEADERSHIP let's get started with that. Just my Opinion Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk

Heading home from the office... looks nice a nice evening here in St. John's... not warm yet but sunny all day. Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk

Certainly the new laws have added to the risks associated with this hobby but I think it is important that these increased risks be kept in perspective... Prior to the new laws there were risks legal and otherwise that we had to negotiate we were able to do that before and we certainly can now. Do your research... meet with established well know ladies and ensure you keep your communication clear of comments that might cross legal bounds... This law will not be the end...

Being like a Leafs fan will be good for you... helps build character... teaches you to be tolerant of feedback from others... reminds you that there is always hope in the future.... teaches you how to deal with disappointment.... lololol... you will be a better person because of this experience :) Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk

I get exactly what you mean but I have to tell you I often have to ask ladies I have seen before to remind me of their rates.... but never location or services. On the rates I confess to not being as good at remembering rates... I will usually check the ladies website if she has one but when they don't I ask. Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk

It's unfortunate that Ottawa and Montreal meet in the 1st round but that's life....your right Magician goal tending will certainly be the key in this series...As a Leaf Fan I am not sure I can pick between Montreal and Ottawa in regards to who I would like to see win.....

ECMA T-Shirts for my Daughter... last day of the Awards weekend... amazing music. Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk

Pretty interesting interview... she does not dodge the challenges but stands up strongly for the right of sex workers to have a voice. Thanks for posting it. Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk

Happy Birthday Meaghan... I hope you have an great day. Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk

Clearly the highlight of the day was having 5 Canadian Teams in the NHL playoffs.... hopefully they all go deep and one of them brings the Cup back to Canada. Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk

Just about to leave Mileone Centre in St. John's after the IceCaps beat the Hershey Bears 5 to 1.... IceCaps have had a terrible year... are out of the playoffs... and with this win end a 6 game losing streak.... it's nice to finally go home after a win. Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk

It certainly is good to see 5 Canadian teams in the playoffs... Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk

Great to see the Senators make it into the playoffs.... Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk

Listening to some great Jazz performers at the ECMA Jazz Showcase at the Fat Cat bar in the heart of the St. John's Bar Scene "George Street". Great East Coast Music Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk

Disrespect is disrespect... I see nothing wrong with asking repeat canceling client to either pay a deposit or pay full in advance. Just my Opinion Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk

I am guessing we will be hitting a restaurant downtown tonight as we are going to hit a few more of the ECMA showcases this afternoon and then the IceCaps game tonight. Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk

I also am thankful for Miss Jane's post as I actually think it is good that we talk about these issues openly... Positive change only comes from open thoughtful discussion with many perspectives shared that influence and inform the dialogue and help form a best path forward. We learn from hearing the perspective of others... In regards to Miss Jane's comment about what hobbyists want... I accept that her experience informs her opinion and therefore it is her reality but similarly my reality as a hobbyist for 20 plus years is that I have never seen "my" participation in this hobby in the way she describes and think it is valid to express that... you are correct she never said "all hobbyists" but to be accurate she also did not say "Some" or "Most". Like I said...I like the diverse dialogue... we are all better for hearing other opinions. Just my Opinion Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk

Strangely enough I don't actually think that the Canadian public is becoming more "conservative" I kinda thing the public is becoming more open and accepting.. unfortunately acceptance and willingness to actually stand up and defend someone's rights are not the same thing... sure most people in Canada if polled might agree to making prostitution legal but are they passionate enough about the issue to actually push for it to happen.. NO. On the other side though there, is a passionate well organized right wing organization that is willing to put their money and their actions where their mouth is so they while a minority have been very successful in driving the political agenda. Certainly the pro legalization side has been making gains and is more active but let's face it for a lot of Canadians, because of the way this industry has been portrayed in the past they look down on sex workers even when they agree in theory on the right for a person to control their own body. We may have a majority of Canadians who now are not against legalization of prostitution but for the most part it is still a SILENT majority. This is a cultural change which will take time.

This is a interesting thread and I have to admit it is making me want to arrange this type of booking in the future. Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk

As I have never worked in the industry I certainly can't have the same perspective as people who have but I can't help but think that the criminalization of this industry by government (either with the current or previous laws) only creates an environment where the "perverts" as you refer to them get to perpetuate their inappropriate behavior. In a legal, regulated and safe work environment these types of behaviors would not be tolerated but when forced to work in the shadows sex workers and for that matter clients have to except that this is just part of the business. As for people participating in this industry against their free will.... I think we all know this happens ... some because they are coerced into the industry by others (pimps, traffickers etc) and others because of financial desperation. I don't think that the simple Legalization of this industry would make this problem just disappear but it would I hope improve the working conditions for many in the industry... hopefully it would over time reduce the social stigma associated with working in the industry and would make it easier for those in the industry against their free will to reach out for help in getting out of the industry. I also would hope that it would allow Law Enforcement to clearly focus their attention on the situations where coercion is at play ( traffickers and pimps). Finally while I am sure there are clients out there looking for a "free flesh market where the best inhumane deal could be made, akin to drive through!" I am not sure it's all that fair to paint that picture of all hobbyists. Just my Opinion Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk
