The Scent of a Woman...
J Galt replied to Dorinda Bloom's topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
One of my first girlfriends ever had a really nasty odour down there that was so off-putting that I've never truly "recovered" from it...I don't want to smell/taste much of anything now. It doesn't take much to remind me of that trauma. -
Think about the issue both when clear-headed, and again at 4:20. You'll get two separate feelings about the issue. Guaranteed.

Are Cell phones really required
J Galt replied to Jake_1957's topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
As someone who has a lot of experience in the shipping industry, I have to tell you most people can't give directions to their own homes. Sounds crazy I know, but it's true. I never ask anyone for directions to their own home, I ask one of their friends, or better yet, a delivery driver who works in the area. -
If you find a good cart, take it home with you, for use on return trips.

Am I expecting too much?
J Galt replied to mike-su's topic in New to this? Things you should know...
I consider literacy important in all fields(it's appalling how much illiteracy is in the food service industry). I'd rather do business with someone more intelligent than someone less intelligent. I can forgive innocent typos and such, and have no problem with someone who doesn't speak english as a first language, but if it's your first language, use it well. Previous generations put men into space, built pyramids, and eradicated small pox, but now if you ask someone to use an apostrophe correctly, "your" worse "then" Hitler. -
Maybe I will have to cave and get a cellphone just for the hobbying...as I mentioned in another thread, I don't have one simply becase I live in a rural area where there's pretty much zero reception, plus certain people in my life couldn't respect my privacy when I had a cell and was reachable 24/7(theoretically). I don't want to be some jackass making extra demands of an SP or making them uncomfortable about me, cause I'm actually the most easygoing, laid back guy they'd deal with all day.

I don't have a cellphone for two reasons: I live in a rural area where reception is a joke; a cellphone is essentially useless anywhere near my home/work(I have a work-provided one at work but again, not enough reception to make it worthwhile). The second reason is that I hated the loss of privacy when I had a cellphone. Reception or not, busy or not, when I had a cellphone it rang constantly, and if I didn't answer, or didn't drop everything to talk for hours with no notice, suddenly I was a rude prick who needed to explain himself? I like the fact that not having a cell, and all my friends/family/coworkers knowing it, means I can actually have privacy. They have no expectation of being able to reach me for every little demand. And when I travel, I am truly unreachable by anyone. That's a great feeling that a lot of people have quickly lost touch with. All this being said, maybe I'll steal a cell from work if it'll make an SP more comfortable. -
Good show, though inconsistent. The good episodes can be great, but there are some stinkers too... That being said, Amy Pond looks like a safe-for-tv version of Jayme Langford.

Hi all. I'm looking at indulging myself with a service provider for the first time, but have a few questions. Since I'm new, I can't provide references. But I don't want to settle for bottom-end quality either. I have higher-end tastes, and am willing to pay for them. What do I need to do about this? For what it matters, I live well outside the city, and would like to arrange services for when I would plan to be in the city(I always know well in advance). How much notice is appropriate? I know it's not like ordering a pizza, but how long in advance is acceptable? I don't own a cellphone. Really. I refuse to have one. Does this make me seem suspicious, since I can't be contacted once I leave home, until I get to my hotel in the city? I understand it could make me seem like I'm hiding something, when combined with the fact I have no references. FWIW I've read this and similar forums, to learn about etiquette and the like, and I am a somewhat classy person who treats a lady right, in any situation. I would like to establish a quality professional relationship(s) so that if this is something I enjoy, I can make it a hobby instead of merely a curiosity.
