If it's dark, I can be your handsome stranger......but i like dim light.

Have a wonderful birthday, beautiful!

That actually sounds like it could be a lot of fun....but only if the ladies attend. I'd love to interact with other members there- in a respectful manner. Great idea, Cato.

Way to go, Gabriella!!!

Have a great birthday, Cato.

Crab is very similar to lobster......delicious. Fresh salmon.....I'm in heaven.

Good photos attract, but the photos should bear a close resemblance to reality. If the photos show a gorgeous woman (and most do), but the reality is quite different, then there could be an emotional letdown for the hobbiest. I was with one SP who really was somewhat different than her photos. Was I upset? Not one bit. She was still very attractive, fit, and had a superb personality. Like some others have said, I find the interaction on here, in emails, pms, etc., really is what attracts me to a certain person. By the time we actually meet, I am already quite comfortable with her and hope she feels the same way. Many SP's do not show their face in their ads and I respect that. If and when I meet them, I hope I impress them as much as they do me. I'm easily impressed by a willing woman, though. As far as the donation amounts go, I tend to favor the average. Too low may be for a reason I don't like and too high?......I'm no metro-sexual and i don't drive a Porsche and that is what the higher priced SP's may be expecting (I could be wrong). The girl next door is just right for me.....cute, funny, and easily talked to.

Good luck on turning the page and starting a new chapter in your life. All the best, Eva, and don't be a stranger here.

Happy birthday, cuteness.

There's no better feeling in the world than to be on a bike.......alone and riding aimlessly. I did the sport bike thing in the '80's and survived it. I now ride my 1800 sport cruiser whenever I can.......no phone, no employees, no problems. I ride more at night than in the day because of my vocation and find it cleansing and therapeutic. Strangely enough, I've had more close calls lately than in my 20's. People driving cars are not paying attention like they used to. Here's a couple of good links to watch...especially the second one.

If the mod agrees, simply changing the title of the thread to remove her name would suffice. Other than that, I agree with the above comments.

Congrats, Rg. Dats a whole lotta posting!

Congrats, Sophia! Now go have a great vacation.

Hope you have a wonderful birthday, Emma!

Hey, thanks, bud. Looking forward to her return. Is the return info available on here somewhere? I noticed a few missing ladies on here........a lotta posts.......and was curious when they could return. Miss those gals. :(

At the risk of being labelled a "shill"......Sophia, you were one of my "few" and I'll be forever in your debt. We'd never met, I ran late, it was a cold and dreary night (lol), and you were so damned accommodating and sweet that I felt guilty. To me, an SP who is supposed to be GFE should have a pic of Sophia in her ad. I broke a rule or 2 (inadvertently) when trying to meet Sophia for the first time and she just pretended it didn't happen. She was my first SP and, thanks to her- not my last.

Okay, she kicked my ass once on here ( I probably needed it), but I truly miss the OP on this forum. When's she get back?

This is a good song for this thread.

I guarantee you will remember the tale of the Wooden Bowl tomorrow, a week from now, a month from now, a year from now. A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year-old grandson. The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered. The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult.. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth. The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. 'We must do something about father,' said the son. 'I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.' So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl. When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction, sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The four-year-old watched it all in silence. One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, 'What are you making?' Just as sweetly, the boy responded, 'Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up. ' The four-year-old smiled and went back to work. The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks.. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done. That evening the husband took Grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table. For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.. On a positive note, I've learned that, no matter what happens, how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles four things: a rainy day,the elderly, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as making a 'life.' I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands.You need to be able to throw something back sometimes. I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you. But, if you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, your work and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day, you should reach out and touch someone. People love that human touch -- holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.

Hope you had a great birthday, bud.

I haven't had many encounters, but the ones I have had have been superb- simply awesome. One of the reasons I say awesome is because I am in awe of these ladies. They have to overcome fear with every new encounter because they have no idea who or what they are about to meet. I know I'm a nice guy, I know I'm respectful, I know I'm harmless.......they don't. Maybe they see my interactions on here, perhaps my polite emails and text messages impress.....I dunno how they do it......I would crap my drawers if the positions were reversed. It may be the oldest profession in the world, but the world has changed. To me, these women on here are goddesses and I worship their bravery and trusting souls. It's a privilege getting to know them and one of the best parts of any encounter is the interaction leading up to anything that may happen...especially the first minutes of the actual face-face. Not following their instructions or directions is something that would never occur to me. I honestly feel like they're doing ME a favor- not the other way around.

Holy crap, Lee....you're a man after my own heart! I do love a bbq.....all year round. I just loaded up two deep freezers with beef....LOTS of beef......over 1000 pounds of patties, steaks, roasts......and whatever else you get, lol. So what does my SO do last night? Ordered pizza, of course. Gawd......gimme steak....liver and onions, burgers......but not pizza. I like a nice big steak- medium well done-, with a few trimmings, but not many. Oh, yeah......and beer. Cristy, as far as man vs. food.......30 years ago I could eat like that, but now, I could put on 20 pounds just from watching that show! Great food on there, but have you seen the difference in his physique since he started the show? LOL I think he's chunked up a bit, but I may be wrong.

Best news article I've read in a long time.

Opened up just fine.
