I don't care WHO initiates it, but let's not wait all night, lol. If you're talking about Civvy Street, we'll both know when the time is right. If you're talking about a paid encounter, I'll let her take the lead unless things stall. If they do, Alpha male leaps to the rescue.

Lineups........I absolutely fricking hate them. I will go to the DoT several times and find a time with an empty parking lot. Fast food? There had better be only one person in front of me. Movies? Nope. Disneyland? Never again. If I have to wait forever in a line to do something, I'll find something better to do.

Discretion is the better part of valor. I have a part time employee who has been giving me fits lately with inattention, tardiness, and brain cramps. She recently went through a messy domestic relationship breakup and I have been cutting her a LOT of slack- partly out of respect for her mother (a valued employee) and partly out of sympathy- but it has been wearing thin and costing me money. She has two children (4,1) and a useless ex and this morning, she took her youngest to the hospital. Long story short, her child is very sick and may be hospitalized for several weeks.I am so thankful I didn't blow up at her recently and terminate her employment.....but it was close. The good part is that I can cut her a paycheck and an early Christmas bonus. The part that sucks is that she will spend her second Christmas in a row at the hospital with her son. Last year, he survived meningitis.

My very good friend with the brain tumor underwent a 14 hour surgery yesterday that appears successful. She exited the OR at 2 a.m. and tonight I saw a picture of her awake and smiling in ICU. I talked to her husband this morning after I knew she made it through surgery and we agreed.....Christmas came on Dec. 6, 2012 for us.

Way to go, Vanessa!

I honestly don't care what she wears and I tell them that. I've already done my homework and have a purty good idea what's behind door #2, but sexy clothing definitely gets the heart pounding. Jeans and T are also cool. I know I'm going to spend the first bit of time checking her out from the shoulders up and if my instincts are right, her personality is going to be my number 1 turn-on.

Congrats, Jafo!!

I agree. I was forced to take a hiatus from here awhile back. Occasionally, I would check in here without logging in and one thing I could not see without either logging in or registering was.........reviews. Jessica could resolve this with accurate pics. There was another girl discussed here recently who had fake pics on her ad. She is not a member here, but I corresponded with her and advised her of the danger of fake pics. I ended up not booking because of that fact. She still has the fake pics and is still not a member.

If you want to play it safe, simply go to the review section from your city and select a well reviewed lady. Whatever you do, don't select only on price. It's your first, so read the reviews, correspond with the lady, discuss your and her expectations, and make an appointment......and for heaven's sake, KEEP the appointment, lol. There are some awesome ladies here and they're well reviewed for good reason.

My father-in-law diagnosed with lung cancer. Then, exploratory surgery on lymph nodes came up negative. Then, surgery to remove 1/2 of one lung yielding a large, non-malignant growth. In 2 weeks, we went from despair, to resignation, to jubilation. That was 10 years ago and he is still going strong.

Argh.......I was going to read only here. However, I changed my mind and figured I'd better do this sober. Since I just finished my first beer, now's the time. I've seen a few ladies and have regretted not a one. My comfort zone is under $300 and over $200, but that's only a guide. I prefer incall since I do not incur the expense of a hotel, but have done outcall. I never use price as a condition, but I must admit to a couple of guides. If they're expensive to me, I'll look for reviews to ensure it's money well spent. If they're cheaper than I would expect, I figure I'm taking a chance, but so far, I've been happy. I have not a lot of discretionary funds, so I try to spend wisely and make sure the experience is fun, safe, and repeatable for both of us. I have never felt the need for a bad review and I would be mortified if a lady felt less than happy about the time I spent with her. I fondly recall the time I have spent with each and every one and I hope it continues. This brings me back to the topic at hand. Lower prices, I must confess, trouble me more than average or higher prices. I know that thrift stores sometimes yield treasures, but I don't expect it. There are so many criteria that the ladies use to determine their price. These are the criteria that I search out through various methods to ensure that she and I have a good chance at a deeper connection, so to speak. YMMV is a term often used and I wish to increase my "mileage" (by that, I don't mean taking liberties- I mean maximum enjoyment) by somehow finding a lady with matchable traits to mine. It takes a little more work, but there are gems from $100- $1000 - depending upon who they're with and whether they click. If I "click" with a lady, price is so secondary. Primary is......did I enjoy myself? Did she appear to enjoy herself? Would we both repeat? It all boils down to chemistry. there really is no such thing as a bad price, but there is such a thing as a bad experience. If I encounter one of those, then I have spent too much- no matter the price. To the OP, you know the market and you know yourself. Select the clientele that agree with your inner voice and you have found your perfect price point.

Right back at you, bud and all the other members here.

This is a real feel good story. "This is a story about how my brother and I stole our fathers 1969 Norton Commando, had it restored and then gave it back to him for Christmas. He had no idea."

One pound of beef jerky from a friend who makes it. I traded a case of beer for it. LOL

Good post, Pete. References are not the be all and end all. When I first started, I was freaking about references because I had none. However, I contacted an SP and was very polite and respectful, and she saw me. We had a great time. As Pete said above, word gets out. If you're an ass, they know it and the word spreads. If you're a nice guy, word gets out. These ladies are not stupid......but sometimes we men are, and they pick up on it. I have never yet been asked for a reference (even in the early days), but it's because I select well and I'm hoping they feel they also select well. It hasn't failed me yet, but if it does, I'll supply references. Remember, if the lady ain't happy, I ain't gonna be happy. LOL

Here's the drill. I'm normal.......my life is normal.......my SO is normal. However, the relationship died years ago. I struggled to revive it for quite some time, but it takes two to tango. The angst was just building up stress and rather than continue to make an issue of it, I moved on without moving out- for the same reasons as many others. Finally, after years, I had an affair.....then another. Big mistake. Although I was upfront with the other, someone invariably gets hurt in an affair and it truly sucks. I have as busy a life as most people, and relationships take an enormous amount of time I don't have or am unwilling to find. I still do not remember what brought me to CERB and escorts, but it has simplified my life, and for that I am eternally grateful to the ladies I have met. Ultimately, I will find one or two escorts with which to forge a working relationship and that will remove most of the last dangers of infidelity. Until the next chapter of my life begins to unfold I am convinced that this type of relationship is the glue that holds me together.

Honey garlic deer sausage..........sigh. Good venison........raised on MY alfalfa field, lol.

My friend with the brain tumor..........they have now decided they can operate after first telling her it was inoperable due to location. Friday is D-day and optimism abounds. All day surgery and then 3 days recovery in ICU. Life could be a lot worse.

My Christmas wish is for my friend with the brain tumor to come through surgery Friday with a positive outcome. Anything else this season would be a bonus.

Sitting in a livingroom with 6 teenagers.......and every one of them has their damned smartphone in their hand and ........silence. LOL

My friend who was just diagnosed with a brain tumor stopped in home yesterday with her hubby and daughter........so effing good to give her a tight hug. She's in Halifax tonight to prepare for meeting with specialists tomorrow to find out what's what. She's so very upbeat........pissed off and ready to do battle. Her motto is "let's get it on". She has so many friends that if the power of positive thinking is real, she'll win. I do hope for the very best outcome.

LOL...excellent!

He's getting tired of hearing it, but they tell Tom Selleck he resembles me. Time for one of us to lose the stache.

Coffee and a smoke work for me. If I screw up and get up too early, I'll have 2 coffees and 2 smokes. I save breakfast for when I'm actually hungry........10-11 in the morning.
