Phaedrus

Happy birthday!

Because she's awesome and I had fun with her. It really is that simple! Okay, it's not actually quite that simple, because there are awesome people I've had a lot of fun with who I haven't actually seen again, or have seen again but not nearly enough. But the principle is very simple :)

Happy birthday, Redseductress! Hope you're having a spectacular time!

I got 99 definitions... but that ain't one!

For those who are interested... a fascinating series of blogposts on this issue. Well worth reading, whatever your views on the subject.

Tsunami? Armageddon? No, just cloud on the mountains. While I'm thinking about it - anyone who likes this thread and is on Twitter should probably follow @Earth_Pics #FF

Absolutely. Remember... beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder :)

M$ do seem to alternate between good and bad versions. 95 was good. 98 was bad XP was good Vista was bad. Win7 was good I haven't tried Win8, but I haven't heard much positive stuff about it. It'd be nice if they could build on a good release for once, rather than screwing everything up...

An unlisted number is one that isn't present in any commonly-available telephone directory, whereas a blocked number is one that doesn't show up in call display when you call someone else. The former is something that's controlled by others, and you can only change it by asking them to take you out (or put you back in). The latter is something that you can change from your own phone, every time you make a call (if you can be bothered). At least, I think that's right. I may be wrong, in which case someone will doubtless correct me :)

Well, please let us know if they ever indulge in any honest marketing. I see they now have a profile here - I'll be interested to see what happens with it, given that fake pics aren't allowed on CERB. In the meantime: http://www.cowboysdiary.info/wordpress/?tag=613-749-010, and I'll be sticking to indies and spas with better reputations :)

Paint on a speaker, in slow-mo. Pretty, and awesome.

I try not to deal in illusions, necessary or otherwise, more than I have to. To address one of the big ones: I neither know nor care how many other clients the person I'm with has seen today, or this week, or this month, or ever; the same goes for any other partners she may have had, or what she may have done with them. Not only is it none of my damn business; I can't see how knowing would do me any good, or even how I should interpret any answer I might get. I certainly don't avoid reading recommendations - indeed, I keep tabs on the reco threads for both ladies I've met in the past and those who I'm considering meeting in the future. I don't need to pretend that there's no financial exchange (I see no reason to dwell on it, but there's no need to sweep it under the carpet). I don't need the illusion that I'd be able to get naked with people who are way out of my league if there wasn't an envelope involved somewhere. What I really care about is that whoever I'm with also enjoys the time spent with me. This doesn't necessarily involve orgasms every thirty seconds, or that she think I'm the best thing since sliced bread, or that she'd do this for free if I asked. I don't have to be "treated like a king" (I've never seen an incall with a throne, and neither have I ever met a SP who employed minions to wait on me hand and foot) but if I get the feeling she's just going through the motions, or she'd rather be elsewhere, it's a huge buzzkill for me. And I'll make no bones about it: I've had encounters which have not been much fun because I got the overwhelming feeling that the lady I was with would just rather have been somewhere else. And this kind of thing is hard to simulate: you can fake smiles and orgasms and whatever else, but if you just don't want to be there then the mask will slip at some stage. So, to get back on-topic: I don't give a damn about some of the more common illusions that folks seem to worry about. But I do care - and care a lot - that the whole experience be mutually pleasurable. Does that make sense?

I want to go here.

Um... who are you, and when did you turn into me? So what happened to the old one? Did you wear it out, or something? ;)

Can I borrow it when you're... er... done? ;)

I already have as many kids as I want. Pass the bacon, please!

Actually... and at the risk of raising a few eyebrows... I don't have a problem with this. I'd consider that the government of the day has a duty to defend the laws that are currently on the books whenever they're challenged in court, and this has absolutely nothing to do with whether that government actually approves of those laws or not. Obviously there's no particular conflict when the government supports the law being challenged, but when a government disapproves of a law the correct course of action is to introduce legislation to change that law, rather than to simply refuse to defend it in court. Having said all that, I have no doubt that this somewhat esoteric argument isn't actually the reason the current government is opposing the Bedford case so vigorously :) And with reference to that case: my understanding is that the government will simply have to abide by whatever the SCC rules, and if they don't like the ruling they'll have to get a bill through Parliament to change the law appropriately. They have no choice in the matter: suck it up, or legislate.

Given that people are STILL taking the piss on a regular basis... apparently, yes.

Thanks for organizing again, guys! You're awesome! One question: I assume the location will be central again? Anyways, I'm in.

I had the pleasure of meeting Courtney recently. I'd been wanting to for some time, but for some reason I'd never actually gotten round to it... my loss, but at least I got there eventually! Courtney is every bit as delicious in the flesh as in her pics, although if you've read the rest of this thread then you probably know that already. We started off with a shower, and then a very nice massage with some fantastic bodyslides. But it wasn't until I'd turned over that her talents really came through. It wasn't very long until I was about thirty seconds away from... Five minutes later, I was still about thirty seconds away. Ten minutes after that... well, you get the idea? The thing is, Courtney is very good at getting you to a very high level of arousal... and keeping you there, for as long as she feels inclined to do so :) And yes, all MAs can do that to some extent, but being able to do it that well, and being that close for that long without going too far is... rare. The end, when it came, was awesome - but rest assured it didn't happen until Courtney decided it was going to! There was just time for another shower, and then it was time to go... but I'll certainly be back!

Vatican withdraws medals with Jesus spelled as 'Lesus' The Vatican has withdrawn thousands of gold, silver and bronze medals minted to commemorate the first year of the pontificate of Pope Francis after discovering it had misspelled Jesus. A Latin inscription around the edge of the medals minted to mark the first year of Pope Francis's pontificate referred to Jesus as "Lesus." The medals, produced in gold, silver and bronze by the Italian State Mint, went on sale in official Vatican stores on Tuesday, but were withdrawn two days later after the error was noticed, the Vatican Publishing House said. The inscription is Francis's papal motto, taken from a meditation by the eighth-century English monk the Venerable Bede, from a passage of the Gospel in which Jesus calls St. Matthew to be an apostle. The motto on the Vatican website reads: "Vidit ergo Jesus publicanum, et quia miserando atque eligendo vidit, ait illi, 'Sequere me,'" or "Jesus therefore sees the tax collector, and since he sees by having mercy and by choosing, he says to him, 'follow me.'" Before they were withdrawn, four people purchased medals displaying the error, which could fetch high prices on rare coin markets, Italian media reported.

I don't see why. Sure, this won't be everyone's idea of a great time, but provided both performers and spectators are on board with what's going to happen and what the rules are, I see no reason why anyone should be uncomfortable.
