Satin

Hi everyone. Happy Friday! Okay, so it's now the second time I've heard this today. Someone in Ottawa is calling around to people telling them their computer is infected with a virus and offering their services to fix. Not sure if it's a new scam, but it's the first I've heard of it. I also heard through a local ISP that they have received calls from their customers as well stating the same thing. Things that make you go hmmm. Satin

Truth is I am completely tired of the rhetoric, hyperbole and spin. No doubt the Conservatives made errors as did the previous Liberals. I am tired of American-style attack ads and those of you that promote Web sites such as one mentioned above are part of the problem, not part of the solution. Promote ethical and open dialog. Stand on what your candidate and party will do, not what the other guys did. Here's an example: Debates have become nothing more that speaking points and sound bites. During the debate both the Liberals and NDP rolled out grand plans that they would put into place during the next four years. When asked where the money comes from, they both indicated it would come from money saved by cancelling the F35 fighter acquisition. The only problem is this is money that would have not been spent for about 10 years down the road -- but most Canadians don't know that. Wonder why so many Canadians are apathetic about voting? There is no doubt the way the political campaigns are has a lot to do with it. Satin

I see Megan'sTouch's point though. I too would never ask for a recommendation but as someone new on here I know how much they would be appreciated. I think some new women could feel like it's an important part of establishing themselves and that they are indeed providing a great service in hopes of increased visitors. I agree with others that the unsolicited recommendation are the ones that matter. I couldn't bring myself to ask for a recommendation but I do understand what might drive others to do so.

Good luck to you, Dorinda!

I agree with Kubrickfan. Just ask your SP of choice if she can bring a briefcase (a good place to hide the boots?) and to not dress to provocatively upon arrival. No harm in asking for these sorts of things.

Hotel for sure. I prefer the ambiance that a nice hotel brings to the encounter. I don't mind giving the extra TLC for those whose nerves get jittery with the hotel visit either. If I were in a larger city, perhaps a studio apartment away from my own residence would be reasonable as well.

I can't imagine what I'd do :) Nervous laughter? Run and hide? lol. I would think this has happened more than a few times though. It would be interesting to here how it was handled!

Happy birthday RG. Enjoy your day!
