I almost kissed the gate agent that just handed me a bunch of boarding passes. I can't even find any food here that I really like so the jets will be spooling up in less than an hour to begin the long journey home. It's a milk run but I'll take it! Yes! Here is it early Saturday morning (by my biological clock, never did adjust) and yes, Tuesday I will be home! Only advantage to the milk run, the flight attendants don't know that they gave you a double on the previous flight so maybe spend most of the next two days mostly sleeping at cruse altitude.

I like Mature Lee. A very beautiful, friendly and sexy fellow Cape Bretroner there is just nothing not to like.

Well there is not a lot of information in your question (nor should there be) but if it is it someone you have seen before and a lengthier appointment I don't see anything wrong with it. If it is tantamount to negotiating a better rate then there is something wrong with that as (oh I just hate to put it in these terms) but I always pay the "rack" rate and don't negotiate under any circumstances aside from asking for clarity. Sometimes I am looking to book 6 or 8 hours and this often puts me in the uncomfortable position of when inquiring of insisting on a firm quote (but better than the discomfort of a misunderstanding). If an SP that normally charges an hourly rate quotes me that hourly rate X 8 for 8 hours, well, I usually say thanks but no thanks. With a 8 hour appointment, 6 or 7 of it is going to be "social" time and I'm probably going to spend a couple of hundred dollars on a nice meal (for both of us and or some other event) so I find the rate I get quoted for such an appointment varies and yes, I have had to say "thanks but no thanks" (before it became a firm appointment) because I though it was unreasonable and then accepted a counter offer (but never ask for one): I have to assume because she figured out her "simple" math made it way beyond fair value and rethought it. As uncomfortable as it makes me (probably the most uncomfortable part of making an appointment), I only make one after a firm quote and don't argue or negotiate but if the quote is "over the top", way beyond fair then it is. I find ladies I have already met tend to be more reasonable about lengthy appointments as they do understand I'm pretty easy on the head and we just going to have a lot of fun. So to make it clear, a gentleman always pays what the lady requests and as a repeat client that is known to be zero risk (and will make more appointments in the future) I do often get preferred rates and see nothing wrong with that. If the lady doesn't know me and the published rate drops too much, yeah, I wonder why. Had to be said :) Hope that helps.

Yes, in fact I have :) But in all fairness, temporarily. I admit to finding something sad that a SP would wants to or has retired would need to find work as a secretary on a long term basis except as a hobby to keep busy but she could certainly book more than my flights and hotels :) Would you visit more than one SP the same day on separate occasions (e.g. not as a duo)?

I suppose it "was" an interesting idea :) The "now-closed" kind of says it all (to me). I'm not sure what kind of clients they would attract for free and even though a brothel is definitely not my scene I'd be sure to avoid one with cameras :)

To be quite frank (and as you know Christine my name is not Frank) :) I think it is a combination of laziness and also could often (but not always) be an early indicator that they only want to communicate but have no real intention (even if they don't know it them self) to commit to an actual appointment? Oddly I heard from several ladies that communicating to talk about setting up an appointment (by whatever means) or heaven forbid actually setting one up they will never show up for is "enough" for some time wasting guys (I can't refer to them as gentlemen). Your web site address is clearly on your profile and as sparse as your web site may be compared to some, anything and everything a potential client would need to know is clearly there. Myself, I have a "policy" that I only contact the lady making such appointment related inquiries when I (A) Have a clear and present intention of booking an appointment, and (B) After all due diligence and research something I need to know just isn't there. I fact, I think I fell victim to just what you are speaking of. The only time in my life I every called a lady I was very interested in meeting it was after doing all my research but her web site said Mon-Fri and I was just wondering if she would accept an all day Saturday appointment (guess it never hurts to ask) but she just politely referred me to her web site which I could have recited from memory and, no unfortunately doesn't ever work Saturdays so I thanked and and moved on and yes, did make a all day appointment with another nice lady for the following Saturday :) I kind of felt I wasn't taken seriously as I'm sure if she had understood the assignment I had for her she would have decided to work overtime on Saturday :)

Flying to the other side of the world without being given enough notice to be able arrange for any type of companion or even language interpreter. :( And jet lag (desynchronosis), oh boy, worse ever.

So I was doing a little research for someone that PMed me with a request for information and ended up visiting a site I had never visited before: SEA. So although I wasn't looking for this, while there I happened to notice a significant number of male for female SPs out there. It was quite surprising really. Now we don't get many here (male SPs) because most of our female members are SPs and we even have a few female clients of female SPs. But if CERB becomes more popular then I guess we can expect that to change.

While I admit to being tempted, I also admit to turning down several offers, so I guess that means NO! Private time is private. Would you spend an entire day (or even two whole weeks) with an SP and no hanky panky? I guess I ask because I did this and wonder if any one else has that much self control :) She was most beautiful and attractive but young enough to be my daughter, so even after after a incredible lap dance and checking to make sure there wasn't something medically wrong with me... well I guess there are some lines I will never cross :)

Sorry to disappoint everyone but I have to agree with you completely. A 20 year old, unless she has illegal (before 18 experience) then she can't possibly have more than 2 years experience. Now, that said, my favourite SP of all time has often told me, if I am late or otherwise not exactly where I said I would be when I said would be there, call the police! -- As something is very wrong. I do value this reliability beyond all else!

Certainly. She could be having an off day, YMMV (your mileage may vary) means just that. I remember once I bought stale gas at a gas station, got very poor mileage and was declaring a fuel emergency far sooner than expected. They ladies are really under no obligation to offer anything (except perhaps the agreed to amount of time). Ok, so some things are "expected" -- it could be because of her ad or even your correspondence with her before meeting but there are no guarantees (aside from death and taxes). If you get not what you expect, it might be you but chances are it is her. I really hate to go here but I'm going to because as I said before I am both stupid and fearless. The male anatomy is usually "normal" (unremarkable) but be dammed if it isn't just sinfully downright UGLY in some cases (to me) and is this the fault of the owner, nope, just the cards life dealt. Similarly do you find every women in the world created equal? Yep, could be almost any reason but YMMV always applies :) Whatever the reason may be.

I have to respectfully disagree with you there. Many trades I place have an outcome that is a mathematical certainly before the trade is even placed and then yes there are trades with risk, but again we can make the maximum loss a mathematical certainly there also with hedging. Teaching about proper risk management is part of understanding money.

That's an excellent reply Sophia. I find the ladies are pretty darn good at reading our minds but really only with an appointment lasting several hours. I also generally don't have any expectations at all so it's pretty easy to exceed them in my case :) The lady hasn't been named, no harm done. Thanks to this thread clients may be better at communicating (we have more time for that then they do). You can write a lengthy introduction and explain your expectations tactfully and tastefully and she can read it a lot quicker then it takes to write. If you do this ahead of time, it's not too much to ask her to do a five minute review of your correspondence just before or at least the day of the appointment.

Well like what's in it for them? It's an older model, they are not selling it any more and anyone that has it, well they already got your money so why do anything that takes their time (and therefore money). And then there is the "if it isn't broke, don't fix it" thing, so they come out with this "upgrade" you are looking for and it breaks something and now they have to own that. I don't know why any business would take risks without a reward or do something that costs them money but doesn't make any in return for them. That said, if it is a popular model, lots of custom ROMs and upgrades available on the Internet to suit any taste. So your Galaxy S2 is different than another when set to use ambient light as a guide to screen brightness? Well then we have a hardware problem, obviously. Both of these issues seem related, probably a poor (intermittent) connection to the battery. Well that makes some sense. If you intentionally disabled Wifi you just turned off the network it was using, how rude not to give you that email or web page with no network :) Seriously, with Wifi it won't connect (at least mine won't) to just anything and this is a good thing. Two tools have cured me of this kind of problem. I use "Wifi manager" to decide what Wifi network to connect to and also Widgetsoid "toggles" to quickly turn on or off Wifi and my data. Once you get used to using these toggle buttons and Wifi Manager (yeah, this should have been part of the Andoid OS" then everything falls into place on this one. Well that isn't even necessary any more (to drain before charging) because it isn't NiCad any more, it's lithium-ion and it doesn't have "memory", of course your memory of batteries that used to have memory is still in tact :) In fact these new batteries are "opposite" of what you remember. The more you charge them when they are not completely exhausted the longer they will last so if you are treating your battery like you used HAVE to, then that would explain it. But the screen does take a LOT of power, so unless we have nuclear batteries... Yes, I have to agree with you there. But then my phone also makes a poor vacuum cleaner too :) Reminds me of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home: Scotty: Computer! Computer? [He's handed a mouse, and he speaks into it] Scotty: Hello, computer. Dr. Nichols: Just use the keyboard. Scotty: Keyboard. How quaint. You should talk to your Android more often, it's probably lonely. When I arrived in Ottawa last evening I spoke to mine like this. "Text message to wifey: finally arrived in Ottawa after flight delayed, call you when I get to the hotel". Never touched the "keyboard" and it heard, understood and obeyed, opened up a new text message addressed to wifey and typed exactly what I said, I would have been surprised with any other result, keyboard, eh? How quaint. :) Well I have a choice of 20 or 30 different "upgrades" for my phone but I choose not to bother with them. It is what it is when it is what it is. And that is what really matters in this Android vs. iPhone or Ford vs. GM thread. What ever you are more comfortable using. I had a flip phone, like a Motorola W385 (one up from the original Razor) until about a year ago. No one could believe they still worked :) I'm not sure this smart phone thing is all a good thing. Yesterday, I get on the plane and EVERYONE (except me) in executive class is staring at a BlackBerry like it has some mysterious "power" over them, I swear they were all like zombies! It actually kinda freaked me out! I think if I could broadcast the right hypnotic image to all those little screens at once I could have mind control over the entire world! Hmmm.... seems the smart phone manufacturers have beat me to it. So it sounds like you have an S2 that works different from another S2 configured the same way? And an intermittent connection to your battery? And still treat batteries like we used to have to? And have a lonely phone because you never talk to it and use the keyboard? Hope this helps!

Well I still say it is still a matter of personal preference at this time. As for Goggle not respecting my privacy I really have yet to see this, but then I do pay them for Google Apps for business. Certainly I have caught the FaceBook app for Android (and facebook app for iPhone would no doubt do the same), raping my contact list. I think privacy is YOUR responsibility because if you assume you have it you are doomed. Google has a "yes, we collect data" policy be we do no evil with it, I haven't seen this proven wrong yet (perhaps much to my demise) :) Do you trust Microsoft? Do you trust Apple? Do you trust Google? Dam it, trust no one. But these darn smart phones are just too smart to ignore the benefits whatever incarnation you may choose.

Although I've never had this happen with a reputable CERB lady, I do accept it as one of several hazards we have to accept. Everyone has an off day, even me. Fortunately on one of my off days the lady knew (could tell) I was dog tied and just changed gears and treated me like a King. So could it be that you didn't communicate your expectations? Probably not. If not, it is a self correcting problem. I agree, many gentlemen invest hard earned money and to be treated like it's all about money, she gets to see anyone that sees her just once and never again. Those ladies that are consistent and give their all, well, I still say they give so much and ask so little in return. But if this isn't the case it wouldn't be long until she has no repeat clients and then isn't that what it's all about? To me, I value my "professional" friends so much and they in turn value me and won't ever let me down willingly. Unwillingly I understand and expect from time to time. So sorry to hear about this.

I like both products, both iPhone and Android. That said, there is a down side and an up side to both. My main problem with Apple is they seem to think they still own your phone, even after you buy it from them, wanting you to return it to them to have a new battery installed (yes, I know people do it themselves including replacing a broken screen but any warranty is gone and it's isn't all that easy either). If you are a Mac user, iTunes is fine but it is a pretty crummy piece of software on the PC or Windows platform. Aside from that, iPhone is pretty slick and does more than most need. Android, yes more open and probably more open to evil software and problems or lower quality apps that crash a bit. But that is getting better all the time and it is very versatile, even more so than iPhone these days and has become even better in the time it took me to write this post :) I'm not an iPhone guy myself but have worked with them setting up email and things for others. We have a lot of Android converts at one of the offices I work at that gave up their iPhone, now use Android and wouldn't go back. Right now it's probably more like a GM vs. Ford kind of thing. As for predicting the future, whatever phone you have it will be junk within a year anyways but the number of new Android activations continues to be staggering, of course the number of iPhones being sold is almost as impressive. Both excellent products.

Just block the idiots! In your control panel you have an "Ignore List" once you ignore them you won't see or hear any more from them. Yes, there are jerks everywhere, even here I'm afraid. Just don't let them get to you, you don't deserve that and shouldn't be bothered by this nonsense.

Your right of course. At the same time we see wonderfully intelligent members (like yourself) come out of lurking after being members for a long time (not saying you did) and become active and make very insightful and valuable contributions. Nothing wrong with lurking but I guess if you decide you want to attend a social ... I'm not going there. I was researching SPs a while back; lots of lovely ladies posted ads, but some had no viewable profile, no recommendations and no posts I could go by. So I have an ad, the information in it and nothing else to go on, not even a web site link, so I move on. Even two or three posts (other than ads) would let me know something more about her. With ladies getting an appointment request from a potential client that do their due diligence, I'm sure she can figure out what I am about pretty quickly but again, no participation, no information.

Well a very happy day to you to! Even though you didn't post it (or leave it posted) probably helped a lot to type it up! A little rant or venting is necessary from time to time, otherwise we just hold it inside and then when you do finally let it out, holy smokes, the carnage! :) So here is hoping you feel better now.

Yes for sure, let me be the second (or third or forth, depending on how fast I type) to congratulate you Meg! Ok, so I cheated and posted and an now editing my post so at least I could be the second to congratulate you. There are only 5 such extraordinary members, you certainly deserve to be one of them!

I don't think we have to worry about this one. We can't change who we are, but we can push ourselves to overcome anxieties and step outside our individual comfort levels a little and this is probably a good thing. I remember my first public speaking engagement. Small conference room, I go there at the appointed time and the room is empty. Oh I can handle this! Wasn't keen on speaking to 50 or so people anyways. Then a guy comes along and tells me there is so much interest in my presentation it had to be moved to the main theater which seats 8,000! Well, there must have been 9,000 as it was standing room only. So I just did it - I brought the house down, shook hands for an hour, went back to my room and was violently sick! But it changed my life for the better and these days I could easily address the nation and wouldn't care. Yeah, from Peachy's posts it seems she is sometimes shy but doesn't let it affect the quality of her work at all, awesome, you go girl!

Yeah, even in a hotel environment you are using the ladies precious towels that she may not have enough of and definitely taking up her time. But in-call, yeah, she's doing the laundry, paying for the hot water and probably cleaning the shower afterwards although I often at least offer to help with cleaning the shower :) and I mean it. Shower should always be on the clock, except perhaps for a regular. And as for taking a shower for the ladies benefit and not yours? Ek! No way. I just can't be comfortable being any less than freshly showered. So if I shower and drive right over there and then spend an hour talking, yeah, time for another shower (at the very least a quick one) to freshen up.

Yeah, you have to put them in pairing mode. With Motorola it usually means holding down the button a longer time until the light turns solid blue. With other devices you might have to look up the manual on the net (it's almost always there). Once you have the bluetooth device in pairing mode, then on the phone you have to tell it to go looking for new bluetooth devices and when it finds it you may have to enter the "pin" to make it pair up. The pin is most often '0000' or '1234' :) It sounds like you know how to make the iPhone go looking, so I'd say you just aren't getting the bluetooth devices in pairing mode (broadcasting their presence and availability to join up) which you have to do first :) Then select the device when the iPhone finds it and tell it you want to pair and enter the pin.

Yes I saw an ad recently were a lady mentioned that, search turned it up pretty quickly: http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=94391&highlight=lactating :)
