This is correct ... the SCC is seized with the Bedford case and will hear it this week. Parliament will not touch the issue until after the ruling, and most likely will do nothing after the ruling either. The safest course for the government is to simply accept the Supreme Court's determination of the issue. It takes the political issue out of their hands and allows them to focus on other things ... like survival. Porthos

Today is the National Day of Action to support Sex workers. I'm sure many people will be participating in the events planned across the country. In anticipation of the Bedford case going to the Supreme Court of Canada, this mobilization is fantastic and very important. I realize that not everyone will be able to participate, but if you can't, I'd like to encourage you to do something positive in support of the wonderful women who work very hard, sometimes struggle, and always enrich our lives in so many ways. To that end, this thread could serve as a place for people to voice that support and commitment. Porthos

Happy birthday ... I hope you have a great day

I misspent a lot of my youth in pinball arcades.

2 cats ... I've had two cats (different pairs) for pretty much the last 25 years. Having said that, I really am much more of a dog person. I really would very much like a dog right now. But sadly that doesn't seem to be on the horizon. Porthos

I don't really care that much for scents and perfumes, although when used correctly a nice perfume definitely can catch one's attention and fires the imagination. I think every woman has her own wonderful scent, which mixes with perfumes in unique and exotic ways. perhaps my problem (if it is one) is that I simply adore the scent of a woman. I can't tell you my favourite scents, without attaching the names of the ladies that go with them. porthos

I'm not sure it was my first ... the first was probably a Bond girl. But I had it bad for Jenny Agutter in Logan's Run. Additional Comments: So Dr. No came out the year I was born, but Ursula Andress was a serious crush from the first time I saw the movie.

To Have and Have Not: Bogart and Bacall ... they simply sizzle on screen.

I hit my elbow on a the edge of a door ... right on the funny bone. So hard it triggered a vasovagal reaction and I passed out. Of course, on the way down my head hit the corner of a table. Woke up, rather embarassed and bleeding. Porthos

spending the first weekend in a long time without any real work obligations.

Oh but that were true ....I'm sitting at the kitchen table trying to finish some work. I enjoyed some celebratory fun earlier in the week.

A very said day. I can remember attending the demos and rallies when his case was being heard in the Ontario courts and then the Supreme Court. It was an incredible time, and there was such hope and promise that the Charter of Rights might bring about change. Very few people have shown his dedication and commitment, and his legacy is incredible. Porthos

I'd just like to thank everyone for your very kind birthday wishes. It's quite overwhelming. It's wonderful to be part of such an amazing community. Thanks you again. Porthos

Happy birthday

women, women, and more women. Within that context there are a bunch of other guilty pleasures, but those shall remain private (at least for the moment). Beyond that, I do enjoy a bowl of Rice Krispies with brown sugar before bed. Porthos

Happy Birthday Carrie.

flirting with my favourite clerk at the grocery store. I think I need to go back and pick up bread!

I really love women's shoes. Again, a product of having spent a lot of time in shoe stores as a kid. I don't love them in any sort of fetishistic way. I just really like the aesthetics of a woman's shoe. So I always notice shoes. Porthos

I eat eggs sunny side up ... eat the white first without breaking the yolk, then the yolk in one mouthful. I'm sure there are others that do this. The explosion of taste is amazing. Taking my underwear off, I let them drop to the ground, and then flick them up into the air with my toe, catching them. The only exception is when I'm with a lovely lady, in which case I don't care what happens to them. I don't take my watch off, ever (not sure why). There is one exception for one person. Eating tangerines, I try to make sure I take the peel off in one piece. I talk to myself all the time. I start the day by checking CERB (which can't be too idiosyncratic in this crowd) I can't/won't drink tea made out in a pot that has had flavoured/spiced tea in it. Chai tea requires its own pot, or at least I need my own pot that has never experienced Chai. Porthos

I absolutely notice ... clothes, overall appearance, nails, hair, shoes. I grew up with older sisters, and spend a lot of time being dragged around to clothing and shoe stores as a kid. My sisters are all quite a bit older than me. I have a fine appreciation for such things as a result. Porthos

Watching Game of Thrones with someone special. Nice way to end the long weekend. Porthos

Now that summer is here I like iced coffee. Not those things Tim Horton's sells, but real iced coffee. I often keep a pitcher of cold coffee in the fridge during the summer (yes I know I'm an addict and no I have no plans to join a 12 step program). Coffee, Ice, a little cream. mmmmm. Yesterday I had a very good Iced Americano at my local coffee shop. Porthos
