It is really nice to see threads like this. You girls have your own little click. It appears that you have a regular girls night every so often. And supporting each other in this industry. Keep up the good work that you all do for each other.

I just received an e-mail from my last x-girlfriend. We dated about 14 years ago, and we were only together for about five months. She left me for another guy. She eventually married him and has two kids. She has been sending me e-mails once or twice a year for over a decade. The e-mails are always brief chats about the current state of our lives and other trivial current events. Never anything intimate. I don't think anything of it anymore. But there was a time that it would rip me to pieces. Well, that is not entirely true. I do start to crave female companionship not long after we have had chatted. I have not had a date in over six years, or even seen an SP in over a year. I really need to get healthy so I can get back to working.

I always treat people the way I expect to be treated in return. I had a visitor in my home recently and the man left his baseball cap on. I asked him very nicely to, "Please remove your hat while in my home or leave". He chose to leave. The 2nd time we met was in a coffee shop and he chose to keep his baseball cap on. The 3rd time we met was for breakfast in a restaurant. Again he chose to leave his baseball cap on -- while we ate. (These were all business meetings.) He also had difficulties articulating his words without using profanity. (No he does not have Tourette's Syndrome.) He never heeded any of my polite requests to correct his manners and courtesies. One strike, two strikes, three strikes... You are gone!!! I am now working with a very nice polite person. No matter how nice you are to some people they just don't get that it is a two-way-street. "Do unto others as you would have them do to you."

BY CELINE BISETTE | MARCH 28, 2014 http://rabble.ca/blogs/bloggers/views-expressed/2014/03/ah-shouldnt-canadas-new-sex-work-legislation-include-workers- The issue of sex work has been under the spotlight ever since the Supreme Court released it's decision on the Bedford case last December. In that landmark ruling, the judges struck down three of Canada's sex work laws. Major media outlets have been running news stories and editorials on sex work, activists and academics have been debating the issues and politicians have been hurriedly trying to sway public opinion. The flurry of attention and the rush to establish a nation-wide agreement is heavily motivated by one looming deadline: the expiration of Canada's current sex work laws. When the Supreme Court struck down the laws as unconstitutional, they ruled that the laws will remain in place for one more year in order to give the government time to develop and bring forward new legislation. The government could, in theory, allow the current laws expire, in which case sex work could be treated like all other types of work. Alternatively, they can introduce new legislation. Justice Minister Peter MacKay has already stated has already stated stated that the government will introduce new legislation, and that it will do so "well before" the December deadline. The government is keen on instituting the Nordic model of dealing with sex work -- in which the purchase of sex would be criminalized -- but it is not yet known what specific laws they plan to introduce. According to the Department of Justice website, an in-person consultation with "a number of stakeholder representatives" was held on March 3 "to seek their views and input" on the future of sex work legislation in Canada. There is no mention of who these individuals or groups were. What is apparent is that the perspectives of several major stakeholders were completely overlooked. Maggie's, WISH and PEERS are three of the largest sex worker support organizations in Canada, and none of them have been contacted by the government for their input. The people who staff these organizations have many years of experience providing support to those who work in the sex trade, and no doubt have a great deal of insight to offer on the problems that exist in the industry. Kate Gibson, the Executive Director of WISH, reports that "No one from the government has contacted WISH to receive feedback directly from sex workers. One might hope that this would happen given that they are the ones who are the authorities in their lives and who are the most qualified to respond." Madame Sage, a representative from Maggie's in Toronto, shared a similar revelation, lamenting that "As far as I know the government has not attempted to consult with any sex workers or sex worker organizations regarding the laws." The government hasn't reached out to PEERS in Victoria either. It is unclear who they are consulting with, and why they are not reaching out to people who have some of the most relevant experience of anyone in the country. University of Victoria sociologist Rachel Phillips explains that when New Zealand was developing its sex work laws, "the New Zealand Prostitutes Collective was instrumental to shaping the legislation." While not all of their requests were included in the policies that were created, Dr. Phillips notes that "at least they were part of the conversation." In a press release from earlier this year, Justice Minister Peter MacKay argues that "Our government is concerned about the significant harms that flow from prostitution to communities, those engaged in prostitution and other vulnerable persons." Without collaborating with the country's largest sex worker support organizations, it is unclear how the government could possibly appreciate the range of issues that are present in the sex trade. To add insult to injury, some politicians insist that they are, in fact, conducting a fair examination of the sex industry. In a National Post editorial from March 25, Conservative Member of Parliament Joy Smith admonishes National Post columnist John Ivison for not listening to the perspectives of sex workers. She instructs Ivison to seek evidence "from the voices of those most directly affected" even though her own party continues to ignore the input of major sex worker organizations and prominent sex worker activists. Many sex workers' rights advocates are frustrated -- and baffled -- by the government's flawed policy development strategy, but they are not giving up on trying to get their perspectives heard. Even as the government ignores them, several highly motivated individuals are attempting to disseminate their views to the general public. Sex positive activist and Slut Walk co-founder Sonya Barnett recently launched a website called "After Bedford" in the hopes of bringing awareness to the concerns facing sex workers today. As well, a number of panel discussions have been held at universities across the country, giving highly qualified academics and researchers an opportunity to share their opinions on the best way for the country to tackle the issues that are present in the sex industry. The government should be seeking the input of all major stakeholder groups, including sex workers, sex worker outreach organizations and expert researchers. By not doing so, they are wasting their time and the tax payers' money because the findings that come out of their poorly executed consultation process will be of little use in creating an effective strategy for dealing with the problematic situations that can arise in the sex trade. The development of new sex work laws is a very important matter, as legislation has the potential to deeply affect the lives of some of our society's most vulnerable people. The government ought to be taking their approach to policy development more seriously. Celine Bisette has been a sex worker in Canada for nine years. She blog about her experiences in the sex industry on her personal website and has published editorials on sex work in the National Post and the Ottawa Citizen.

Sorry for your loss Talk to the funeral home and explain your situation. They have access to information and resources in this type of situation. I know of some people that had the entire funeral and burial service covered. All the best to you at this time.

Not sure if these qualify... But....

Don't discount the independent ladies. There are many great ladies here on Cerb.

tonight I am having some haddock, potatoes, carrots, broccoli and cauliflower.

Hello Dominique, and welcome to Cerb. :)

It appears that the last time anyone posted anything to the Natural Kitty Lovers Social Group, was on January 28, 2011.

Count yourself lucky, curioum7. I took extra courses once-upon-a-time to try and get a better paying job with better hours. I did get the better paying job -- 9-5 Monday to Friday. That is... 9PM to 5AM, Sunday night to Friday morning. Over-time was a bitch!!! Which there was plenty of. On the bright side, I never had any problems with the commute to and from work. I started my weekend - hours before everyone else, and I could sleep in every day if I wanted to.

I run that at least once a month, but it never finds anything. Additional Comments: All the system icons are showing and work perfectly. I use Ubuntu on a desktop PC I built several years ago.

Here are some travel destinations I would really like to visit and spend a week or two at each location. In order of preference: Each Canadian province & territory Scotland England France Japan Australia The Caribbean

I am using Windows 7 and it does weekly updates. I am using the latest versions of IE (11.0.4), Fire Fox (28.0) and Google Chrome (33.0.1750.154 m). I also do weekly checks to ensure they have the most recent updates. I am using McAfee Security Centre (12.8 ) and McAfee Anit-Virus and Anti-Spyware (16.8 ). As well as, a few other McAfee products. They are provided by my ISP and they are updated weekly. I am not a big fan of any thing provided by an ISP, but the price is right - FREE. Also note that I have not installed any new programs since last spring (2013). My browser problems started in February of this year. Around the same time I also noticed that none of the website icons match any of their website addresses. The links are NOT hijacked so I just ignore it. According to the Windows Control Panel, Action Center, and Security Center, everything is working fine. I will be inheriting my mother's old laptop (which I bought for her two years ago). She passed away in January. I am probably going to have to do a clean install and go from there. The laptop is five or six years old and is showing signs of wear. The left hing is broken, some keys need to be pressed twice, the power light rarely turns on, etc... Besides all that, everything else works fine.
