Code Blue

I sometimes wonder how the ladies generate the courage to step into a new hotel room with a complete unknown on the other side of the door! I suppose it's down to "known unknowns and unknown unknowns" to coin that US idiot. Anyway, you have my admiration for so doing as I doubt I would have what it took. CB

I think this represent the "flip side" of the reasons why an SP is providing the services she does, combined with why the customer is seeking them out in the first place. Thus the answer to your question cannot be a generalised one, but rather highly contextual. As with all relationships, the "devil" will be in the details: no-one has an exact fit with another individual, but a willingness to adapt to some degree to make a "good fit" is essential. Neither party changing is really a recipe for the status quo ante and thus in my humble view would preclude most business relationships turning into a permanent social compact. It would not preclude "dating" as I would define it, but even that would need an acknowledgement that "social rates" for time were suspended by mutual agreement. Then to where else do the boundaries of the "professional relationship" shift? Few would get to that "social dating" stage if they were not comfortable in each others company and then it all becomes a quicksand unless there is truly open communication in advance: the issues of why the individuals were where they were, as well as where they saw themselves going have to be addressed. Rambly, but it is not an area I believe lends itself to superficial examination. Back to the wine..... CB

I'm all in favour of vaginas. CB

Worded well. Enduring beauty with "battle honours" CB

In psychotherapy and areas of psychiatry there is a well recognised risk of "clients" falling for their care provider. I would imagine the risks for regular customers of an SP would be all the greater. Most of the comments on recent threads talk of "chemistry" and attraction, both fundamentals in falling for people. The boundaries are there for the protection of both parties, and hard as it may be, they should be respected by both parties. I would be surprised if there are (m)any happy endings if they are not. CB

Your friend is not that but a kind of leech who sucks quality from your life. Distance yourself from him, as his family appear to have done already. It is the only way you will preserve what you have and allow yourself to mature into the person you can become. CB

I too would rate Moore as #2 after Connery. While RM's later Bond films did get tired, he was not as bad IMHO as Lazenby by any stretch. Dalton I would rate behind Brosnan: the former's movies were "heavy-action" which I enjoyed, but the latter is a better actor. OHMSS worst film for sure. CB

O crap! Now my glasses have steamed over! Reminds me of Susan Boyle, but even more impact CB

Trial and error - mostly the latter!! You have to remember, and it is something I found only later in life, that every message you receive about sexuality conveys as much about the author of the information as it does any information to the recipient. "Where you stand depends on where you sit" or some such apothegm. There are quite a few people generating hot air on these topics. I suspect you (Berlin) have enough insight to see that without me pointing it out. I was always good at stating the obvious!! CB

It has to be "you" that comes out of the screen with a pic. Professionally done photos do stand out, but they are neither cheap nor perhaps easy to obtains (the ladies may correct me over this latter). Clothing -- or not - serves only to accentuate whatever you decide is the message behind the image. Sometimes fully clothed - and I am a great fan of the LBD (Little Black Dress) - is more stimulating that naked. "Fashions change but style endures" (Coco Chanel - to paraphrase as my francais is poor to appalling). CB

In the end only time will answer how they behave . The media appears seized with the process now. I wouldn't want to see a Thomas-style circus, but the whole matter of the appointment of these two, while more open than before, does seem a little understated. CB

When I have done East to West coasts in one trip for a short time only, I have tried to stick with my home time zone. That only works if the meetings &c finish at around 5-6pm Pacific. I still have a "travel hangover" when I do get home. I have yet to try melatonin, but with my last more protracted trip I looked for some at Lawtons/Shoppers. I could only find it in combination and apparently the chewable form tastes like kitty litter! Emily obviously has more experience than I - :icon_biggrin: CB

G11 makes a sage point. Who are your clientele and who would you wish them to be? If the demographic could work for you, maybe a phase of outcall until you can find a good play home? CB

a couple of cents worth (or not): B&S is dishonest; To err is human and everyone deserves a second (not multiple though) chance; A lot of people think the only way to look good is by making others look less so :icon_rolleyes: There are too many people in life bothered by what others do: if you are happy with your own activities/ads whatever, then so what? As I quoted somewhere else, "You are to others how you behave yourself". Now back to the merlot..... CB

What goes around will come around. I would not put yourself in the wrong simply in the heat of the moment however outraged you might feel. It is remarkable though how even "civilised" folk feel once affronted. I am really a non-violent individual - lacking brawn helps in that approach! - but when I had a burglary some years ago at home, I could have taken a baseball bat to whomever's legs in the immediate aftermath. Now I am much less inclined! Deep breath, abandon the jerk to his own devices and maybe a mention in the SP area. "You are how you behave" as my Granny would have said. CB

A great clip and Loreena on one of her better pieces as accompaniment. There is rarely a "magic bullet" for such complex problems. There are simple solutions if one can get past the man made barriers to implementing them. I think that has been in part behind the "Occupy" movement of the last few days too. Lovely video, thanks again CB

I know little about Halifax, save that Air Canada seem to like leaving me there at midnight on a frequent basis throughout the winter! The Harbourview hotel, hasn't got one I've ever seen! I don't mean to pry, and I hope I haven't missed anything obvious in my reading of the thread, but why not stay where you are? CB

If the Moon is a unit then how many units is the Earth?

If this is a hijack, I'm sure someone wiser than I will tell me. It seems the matter of in call vs out is down to how comfortable an SP might feel, assuming they do have an in call location. I can understand better the concept of references now reading these comments. What role do check agencies play in your decision? Are they any value? CB

Anything's easy when there are no problems; it's how folk measure up under pressure that shows character. Have a good day. CB

Congratulations and have a great Day!! Lots of nice things? CB

I took a run out to my cabin this morning in the side by side, just for a bit of pre-winter maintenance. Despite the rain - I was dressed for it - I had a big smile as the nearer I got, the lighter the weight on my shoulders. I was still grinning 3 hours later on the way back to reality! Batteries recharge easier some days than others! I have enough charge now to hug the works of you! A Happy CB

Just an echo of grenademan. I thought I knew something about breasts, but I realise I didn't know that much at all. Very instructive. Thanks to all. CB

I am "agnostic" on the matter really. But I get lazy and outcall is easier for me. I will offer to walk the lady back to their vehicle or cab, so I'm not totally lazy!! I am often reliant on cabs and while it's easy to get to an in call, it can be a real embarrassment when the cab takes 35 minutes to show for the trip back! I don't like making the lady uncomfortable and I don't like freezing my butt off either, although I have done the latter to spare the SP. For those who have in call locations, it would be useful for strangers to town to have a clear idea of what "downtown" in an ad actually means!! I get the feeling some SPs feel more comfortable at their own location. How do you view in call if you don't mind the question? CB

That last comment struck a chord: I would agree with the "old soul". Maturity cannot always be measured in years and in your case, nor should it be. Have a good weekend, CB
