Well I personally don't see anything wrong with this. However you mention to "tame the nerves" which implies that you have consumed enough to alter your mood so that is a matter for concern because that then leads me to my belief that whenever anyone is known to be under the influence of any mood altering drug (including alcohol) any state of consensual consent that may have existed no longer does. So the question then becomes at what point have you consumed enough alcohol to alter your mood and/or judgement such that it needs to be considered in this way? Detecting alcohol because you had one drink is not a problem for me but if I think you are under the influence we have a problem. Would you be offended if I asked you to stretch out your arm and then touch your nose? :) If you wouldn't do this (or tried and failed) I think I have a right to end our appointment. Please note that I often have a glass of wine with a lady so everything in moderation.

These folks have an Ottawa address and appear to have extensive inventory: http://www.simplytherapy.ca/ I always had a problem keeping one around... every time I bought one someone would offer me twice the price I paid or more :) But it wasn't so much the money or profit as the begging, "please, please sell it to me", so I would and then go mail order another and the story repeats... In other words not too hard to get rid of if you buy one and then are done with it, not at all like RG's nice boat :)

Agreed. That's theft of service... but if I don't actually connect to their wireless Internet and use it but simply see and observe the traffic passing (even by accident in the course of investing a problem with my own wireless network) by then it gets into a pretty grey area as I only listening to a broadcast that is coming through my walls into my home :) Go one step further, let's say they have an encrypted network... So I employ Amazon's Elastic Compute Engine processing power to crack the encryption key (costs $1.68 of CPU time or so) if I haven't piggybacked on their internet still not sure if the laws have kept up with technology here or any would really apply. Oh sure, if I log into some service using their compromised credentials and start doing stuff (like forwarding emails) I must be doing something illegal? Well, immoral for certain and in this particular case completely repugnant and abhorrent. Amazon EC2 helps researcher to crack Wi-Fi password in 20 minutes I guess I am kind of on a mission with this one as from my home office with the appropriate directional antenna I can hit about 150 different WiFi networks, only about half of them are encrypted and of course even if they all were it's kind of like taping a door shut as opposed to locking it. So my wife gets a new tablet, takes it out of the box, turns it on and it connects to the neighbour's Wifi automatically (as ours is encrypted and we haven't yet told it the key) and starts downloading an update -- true.

The simple answer would be that if he ever forwarded something from their shared account to his Hotmail account then there would be a mention of it there somewhere. Sometimes these husband and wife accounts are pretty obviously just that (e.g. [email protected]). Likely there are some footprints in the butter but they are difficult for non-technical people to find, see and correctly interpret. Hotmail always adds a generally hidden (but you can look for it) header on email you send (X-Originating-IP) which would contain the IP address (at the time) of the computer used to do the forwarding. But that information could trace it only in very general terms (e.g. we could maybe tell it was someone in another particular Country or the same city or town). I can monitor my neighbor's Wifi and see everything they do including email addresses and passwords flying by (including a CERB account if one is a member) but I have better things to do with my time and it just wouldn't be right or proper to do so but I'll bet they don't know I could if I wanted to. I'm not even sure such an intercept is truly illegal unless I subsequently do something illegal with the information so collected. I would have become emotional and shed some tears reading about this one if it weren't for a few positives mentioned but just the same, a load of hurt and pain has occurred and there is no undoing that now.

I've often wondered about the origins of this myth myself, they don't have to tell the truth about anything but then I kind of equate it to the majority of Canadians that still think prostitution is illegal, we all know it is not and never has been in Canada except for laws that were designed to control the public nuisance factor associated mostly with street prostitution (which back in its high point never was a nuisance to me). Of course I blame that one on too much american TV watching but still haven't quite figured out why people think the police have to tell the truth about anything as we often see them lying to a suspect or someone they are questioning on TV. Perhaps the perception is they are suppose to be the good guys and so much so that is extended to not lying? Which is silly but I'm trying to reconcile it. The only time they are "required" to tell the truth is under oath in a Court room (or deposition) and I have often seen and heard with my own eyes and ears them lying there (while under oath) and also and proven it, thus winning the case or as I called it each time, "I smoked them" :) In fact that was one of my many secret Court room weapons back in the days when I was doing that - find a way to get a police officer to lie under oath about anything (even something insignificant) and then prove it, forget the other merits of the case, you just won. Several cases were won using this Jedi mind trick and not on the merits.

Patience is a virtue (when you have the luxury of time of course). I expect to see a lot more impatience increasingly in the future and this is not at all directed at you Smithwick. I just expect as technology evolves and everything happens in "internet time" to see less and less patience. With me it started many years ago when we first got email. It wasn't too long after and someone would send me an email and then call me on the phone an hour later because I hadn't answered their email. At the time, email to me was like regular mail, if it sat in my inbox for a few days, so what? These days it seems almost everyone (in an office environment), well like that's all they do all day is read and write emails and not much else. Smartphones are a mixed blessing but as more ladies adopt them this problem will become worse (or better depending on your point of view). Yes, you can call me, leave me a voice mail, send me a text message, emails are delivered within seconds, fax to email as well and with Tapatalk I even have access to CERB and PMs all from a device that fits in my pocket. Once most of the ladies are this well connected it will become the norm and the rest will have to follow or start miss out.

:) Ms. Samantha offers a "personal" grooming service, while I don't think she does waxing she does do a comprehensive shave, et. al. :) http://mzsamantha.escort-site.com/

That's a really good point. When I do have to resort to voice mail, I do my best and then hit #. That usually results in a menu with options to continue recording or play back what you have recorded so far or even start over, or hang up to deliver the message. If I hear the option I always listen to my message to make sure it is clear and may even re-record it more than once to make it better until I am happy with it but dam it I hate voice mail :)

I agree Angela, totally irrelevant that she is an escort as this kind of thing happens all time time but the press don't have any where near as sensational story if they don't take the opportunity to trash escorts.

True, but it still leaves me wondering what the charge would be if he was charged? 210 (2) Everyone who ... (b) is found, without lawful excuse, in a common bawdy-house ... is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction. So when we research the meaning of "lawful excuse" we find there is no definition, oh sure you can't point a firearm at someone with "lawful excuse" but to me being in a common bawdy-house to see a prostitute is in fact a very lawful excuse for being there as prostitution is not illegal in Canada. I admit lots of legal experience in other areas but not with this area of law, must be missing something :)

And I don't think that anything that happens on TV or fiction is anywhere near as strange as real life :) Real life is definitely stranger than fiction quite often! So he drained all the bank accounts and expected that would cause her to have to come crawling back after she left, but surprise! she found a nice gentleman that had a gold card - you loose sucker. Women deserve to be treated well and with respect, if and when a man mistreats a beautiful woman he does so at his own peril. At the end of the day, St. Peter (for you Catholics in the world) will be pushing the down button the elevator when one of these guys comes along. In any event, we did marry, had a great marriage until she became disabled and I have no regrets to this day. In fact I think it is still a good marriage as I have her permission (although not her direct knowledge) to be here, but just the same, no fear.

That's a good point Samantha but I wonder that even if one was in such a place and a police raid carried out at the same time as you were there having to do with human trafficking and/or immigration and even charging the operator under section 210. (1) "Every one who keeps a common bawdy-house..." I don't think the clients of such an establishment would be charged with anything? That said, police do have the right to demand identification, take note of this information, maybe even question you as to what you know about what was going on there and "ask" for a statement and that information finds it's way into the engine but I don't see them being arrested also or charged, just embarrassed and hugely inconvenienced? Anyone have any experience with this?

We have some PCs (with 27" and larger) monitors at one office and they make terrible computers as the screen is really too big to sit in front of and use it as a computer so that's why I suggested the dedicated HTPC approach. Even with an array of 6 wide screen monitors I am always working on one screen and the others are displaying real time data for use at a "glance" or I may be working on multiple tasks but then switch my focus to one. If it was one big screen I'd loose my mind (trying to use it as a computer) :)

Well I don't think I correctly articulated my mood swings. Once I booked a lady as I had to do the hardest thing ever the next day, I had to fire people I knew. While some deserved it, others were blameless but they were loosing their jobs also do to the reckless actions of a few. Sometimes we have have to do things we don't want to do and the purpose of the encounter was distraction as opposed to meaningless sex. I guess given my mood, the meaningless sex didn't occur but no complaints from the lady, we had a wonderful time and I will see her again. Other times a nice meal with a beautiful distraction (and no talk of business) is just what the Doctor ordered. While it does occur, I think meaningless sex means less to me than most clients? And I don't mean to diminish what the ladies are willing to do by calling it meaningless but it is a fantasy and sometimes I'm in the mood for reality and sometimes the intimacy comes naturally and seems more like a real experience than a fantasy. The ladies are pretty good at knowing what you need and delivering it. Even when it is just simple companionship.

Well I'm totally biased because I live there part of the year, but the way that happened was looking for somewhere to vacation that was nice and warm. I did an exhaustive study many years ago of every place in the Caribbean (considering many factors), and I have to say that Curacao is becoming quite popular and was a hidden gem until recently but my search criteria involved inexpensive flights directly from Canada on a regular basis coupled with all inclusive resorts and real value for your money so after much deliberation and consideration I've never regretted the Dominican Republic. I wasn't only looking for a place to vacation often but also eventually live after retirement. Mexico was ruled out for safety reasons (safe areas are very busy) and Cuba didn't seem like a place I would every want to live (or easily could), maybe just visit. So then one has to choose (given the available flights) between Punta Cana and Puerto Plata and that was pretty easy as Punta Cana has beautiful resorts (great if you want to relax and swim) but not much else so I chose Puerto Plata. I find that many Canadians go to Cuba, Mexico or the Dominican Republic and then will return to wherever it is in the Caribbean they first went again and again as climate and weather wise it's all pretty much the same.

Well I sit in front of an array of 6 wide screen monitors most of my life these days (a better than most view of the battle field in the financial markets gives me an edge) and sometimes do watch a movie on one of them but we also have a 50" TV in the living room connected to an HTPC (Home Theater PC) that gets a lot more use for that kind of purpose. So for family use you might want to consider a conventional big screen TV (with an HDMI input) and and HTPC with an HDMI output (not at all expensive) dedicated to that purpose.

There are a few (too few) SPs that offer personal grooming as a service, reasonable and quite decedent. I wish more would, something for them to consider anyways. I don't like to name names except on a recommendation thread so feel free to PM me.

Spending all night at the ER in unimaginable pain. Canadian medical care definitely sucks - my experiences with 3rd world medical care have always been way better. Right now I think I would have rather seen a Haitian witch Doctor and had him operate on his kitchen table.

I don't think we can judge anyone until we walk a mile (or a couple of thousand) in their shoes so your point is well taken. Of course if you think Mr. Hitler was a nice guy then see Meet the Real Adolf Hitler!! :) Heck, the only thing I think we have in common with this mental patient is that he had a number of mistresses and I guess we do to (but unlike his, ours are willing and enthusiastic participants, we never threaten them with death if they don't comply - at least I hope not) :) And "decorated war hero"? Truth be told a draft dodger and a coward -- but I do get the non-judgemental point of your post and agree completely with that aspect of it!

Should keep in mind that many SPs can do as well as an MP when it comes to massage and will respect your limits (if any) too. Kind of always made me wonder why there are so many massage only (non FS) clients when they can get non-FS massage service from any FS-SP. Could it be a lack of will power :) Seems the prices are similar (very little if any difference). To me, the rules of engagement or the boundaries (and total lack of other boundaries) are always clearer and more well defined with a FS-SP. But then FS is available and maybe therein lies the problem :) Still haven't quite decoded that one but I'm getting closer.

I agree completely. I have spotted you at Lester B. Pearson (YYZ) not once but twice, did you see me? Somehow I doubt it (OK, once I'm pretty sure you might have) but I just carried on to my gate, wasn't getting on the same flight as you. If you did see me then you know I just passed on by like anyone else. Even if I ended up on the same flight and the next seat you you, it's "small talk" like you are a complete stranger. If I want to talk to Emily (as Emily) in person, I'll book an appointment with you and speak to you in private and then of course I have your undivided attention and then some :) In some ways I think this is a little like the "Gentle Reminder" thread. Anyone that read this already knows how to behave and those that don't won't be reading this. Sigh....

Well said Gabriella. If a lady has a spectacular reputation like yours or I have seen her before, full payment in advance doesn't bother me, in fact I very much prefer it, then I don't have to worry about being in some "mysterious" car accident and not showing. And if I haven't cancelled then it's ok to book 1 - 5 PM (paid in advance) and show up at 3:45 as long as I don't expect any more than 1:15 minutes of her time or any refund :) Of course if I was going to be that late (or late at all), I would do my very best let her know so she need not worry about me (yes, the ladies really do care about us) and make sure she is still available until 5 before showing up. If you're going to pay, why not always pay in advance? I don't get it, doesn't cost a penny more and makes for less worry all round.

Couldn't agree with you more skinflute and I'm not one to kiss and tell. I really meant my point as it is yet another penance we have to pay for writing a recommendation and therefore yet one more thing that discourages clients from writing them any more after they write one or two and have been deluged with inquiries. I have no problem saying, sorry, no "kiss and tell" and I'm not going to comment on that question. Especially so when the questions are clearly inappropriate. But then there are also the more appropriate questions that are tasteful and could be part of a member's genuine interest and research, so we do try to answer "tasteful" questions that might not have been covered off in a "tasteful" recommendation and be helpful but it does take time and after you write a recommendation or two you learn there are consequences and this one of them. That's what I meant by "no good deed goes unpunished" -- you write a nice recommendation and then the questions (rude, inappropriate or just honest, polite inquiries about something from someone that has actually met the lady) seem to go on and on. But's it not all bad either -- write a nice review and people do comment and give your reputation points for writing such a nice tasteful review.

I agree Lee and you have given me more laughs in more places around the world than anyone I can think of. So I like Lee Richards, surely no one will doubt that he is one of the funniest guys on CERB (and likely the funniest, bar none!). It really brightens my day when I read something funny he has posted here and I have to laugh uncontrollably. Thanks Lee for doing what you do!

Well you are lucky as your location says Ottawa and their are a dizzying array of choices available there which is probably part of your problem. I always see a lady I've seen before (call me boring if you want) and when she isn't available then I actually make a list, do my research (recommendations, web site, characteristics I like), rank them, sort them, and then start going down the list. When I am in Ottawa (and my regular first choice lady isn't available and I am FORCED to meet someone new) I might make a list of 10 perspective ladies, rank em as the mood strikes and start going down the list. If they are CERB ladies, pretty good chance any of them are going to exceed your expectations by a considerable margin. If you contact a lady and she is busy and your schedules don't align, you can move on to the next. I find you don't get too far down the list...
