Yes, well said everyone. What I meant was that just a haircut with Erica, the banter and discussion are all very enjoyable. If she's providing only ladies hair dressing I still wish her all the best.

for me Shawville is not all that far..... and I think I will make an appointment with Erica just to have my hair cut.... I'll close my eyes and just imagine! lol

you deserve it. I congratulate you on your renewed life and living. And I love your butterfly analogy. Cheers, Waterat The Butterfly by Kazantzakis from Zorba the Greek I remember one morning when I discovered a cocoon in the back of a tree just as a butterfly was making a hole in its case and preparing to come out. I waited awhile, but it was too long appearing and I was impatient. I bent over it and breathed on it to warm it. I warmed it as quickly as I could and the miracle began to happen before my eyes, faster than life. The case opened; the butterfly started slowly crawling out, and I shall never forget my horror when I saw how its wings were folded back and crumpled; the wretched butterfly tried with its whole trembling body to unfold them. Bending over it, I tried to help it with my breath, in vain. It needed to be hatched out patiently and the unfolding of the wings should be a gradual process in the sun. Now it was too late. My breath had forced the butterfly to appear all crumpled, before its time. It struggled desperately and, a few seconds later, died in the palm of my hand. That little body is, I do believe, the greatest weight I have on my conscience. For I realize today that it is a mortal sin to violate the great laws of nature. We should not hurry, we should not be impatient, but we should confidently obey the eternal rhythm.

I love this John Prine song almost as much as I Love Norah Jones...!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqSHPsY2bY4&feature=related "It's a half an inch of water (or a happy enchilada) and you think you're gonna drown" Or check out another of Prine's classics: Dear Abby! lol Yes, perspective is everything and Mr. Nice2 has it pegged.

Tell the story!!!

OK you had me distracted..... Dragons are way hotttter than dinosaurs!

lol!! OMG Malika!!! Please assure us his name isn't Barney!

...duh... I think you've found her!

'The gods do not deduct from a man's alloted time on earth the hours spent in fishing.' .... and I don't know to whom to credit the quotation.... Congrats RG

Fair enough! .... and so far only one vote towards all five of them!

Does it not merit inclusion? Or is it the only one in the 'other' category?

...If she gave up what she did to be with me (Did I meet her through the hobby? - I'm assuming so since you mentioned the many positive comments made by gents here in the OP) - then yes and that would be the end of hobbying for me. As I've already offered: It's not what you do for a living, it's what you do with your living! Developing a relationship takes alot of confidence: "Love and Truth, people, you can find anywhere, any place and time but you can say so long once confidence is gone.... J

A very interesting question Julia! This one is merits some serious thought and I'm not sure I know right now. The question made me think of a John Prine song that partly ansers it: Like Scribbles says the polyamorous thing is a challenge! J. p.s. could we start out meeting for a coffee....?

I enjoy Loudon Wainwrights commentary on timing: Couldn't find his monologue 'conspiracies' on youtube but these lyrics are thought provoking: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/l/loudon+wainwright+iii/conspiracies_20826521.html The versions on his album 'Social Studies' are better. J

Suky is near Carlingwood and sexyadriana was out in Kanata this week but I don't think it is a regular locale for her.

This thread has veered far away from the purposes of this section. If someone wishes to continue it I recommend the stripclub discussion area. Cheers.

Aaaah Pete, I think that is passed not past ......though maybe you meant you passed on that course and it is now in the past!!!

Nozzleguy: You simply need to pick up the phone, book a session and don't be afraid, once you're there, to ask for what you want.... it's really quite simple. :)

You would need to ask the specific ladies there that question. I did and was very happy with the answer.

Charlotte I agree wholeheartedly with your post. As a relatively new member to cerb I requested friendship status from the ladies I had visited. My intention was that ladies whom I hadn't seen, but wished to visit, might use my 'friends list' to get a reference for me as a client whether they had asked to have a reference provided or simply wished to contact someone other than the ladies I had suggested would offer a reference. Again, you make excellent points that I'm totally in agreement with. J p.s. (What an awkward paragraph. I can't write!)

Samantha I'm betting that the Ottawa ladies will be arranging a venue with a 'runway' for Fall Cerb Social! Gentlemen, it looks as if Pete and Castle have a head start on the rest of us....

this is a sensible approach in almost all situations. J

I agree with Megan. Not only is counting songs more difficult..... I apparently can't do it! But I can be forgiven this failing with such beautiful distraction! J

.... I hope for his sake that your client doesn't stumble across this thread... he would be so disappointed. On second thought I'm also sure he'll know what to do about it. lol
