Perogies, fried onions, lots of sour cream, and pea meal bacon ... Oh, and a big green salad so there is at least some nod towards being healthy

fingers crossed that everything goes well. Definitely you'll be our hearts and thoughts. Porthos

Absolutely ... hope you have a fabulous time. Welcome to the life! Pothos

I don't know Joseph but I like it when new members feel like they can contribute. Welcome Joseph

drinking beer rather than drywalling ... seems to me this should be in the highlight of the day thread. Porthos

It is interesting how postive recommendations are equated with sugar coating but negative reviews on other boards are equated with honesty and "the truth". In my experience lots of negative reviews on other boards tend to be just as dishonest, where the client uses the power of the review to "get back" at someone. On this board, the absence of recos says something. I've had bad experiences following the advice of positive reviews from other boards. Instances where I scratch my head and wonder if i saw the same girl that was described in the tons of glowing reviews. I've also seen ladies on this board who have received negative reviews elsewhere, but great recos here; and have had a very positive experience. My experiences with ladies recommended on this board have all been positive. That's not a bad record. I'll stick with the sugar coating, it's fun to lick off. Porthos

I think I'll be raising a glass of single malt or two tonight. Sadly, no haggis on the menu. I actually do like Haggis, though I acknowledge it's an acquired taste. Porthos

best wishes ... all of our prayers and hopes are with you. Keep up the good fight!

somedays i think I need a family group rate!!

Happy birthday Meg ... hope you've been having a fabulous day.

Good luck RG ... will definitely have you in my thoughts over the next few days. Porthos

Not much more to add. I'm turning 51 this year. I've seen ladies aged 19 - 50ish. One of my all time favourite providers was in her mid-40s, but one of the most amazing sessions I've had recently was with a beautiful lady in her 20s. When I send my introductory e-mail I often tell the lady how old I am, so they have a bit of an idea what to expect. It has never been an issue. Age is more likely to be a factor for hobbyists who are young, then for us silverbacks! Porthos

Generally light therapy involves having a very intense/bright light that mimcs the effect of sunlight. They come in various sizes and intensities. You don't necessarily need to use them all the time. With some, only 15 minutes a day is recommended. Here's a link: http://www.amazon.com/SAD-Light-Therapy-Box-Northern/dp/B003OWJCIM There are also some that are smaller and cheaper (travel sized). My secretary has this problem and uses a small one at her desk. Porthos

Hope you have a wonderful day.

The great thing about e-mail is that it offers a pretty neutral territory way to raise these issues. I would not call someone up, ask if they are available this afternoon, and the go on and ask for service that might not be typical. e-mail the woman you're interested in. Tell her you're interested in meeting her, would like to discuss possible times in the future, and that you have some particular interests. Then the discussion can proceed. Sometimes ladies like to know a customer a bit before being willing to explore some types of fetishes. It really just depends on what it is and how unusual it might be. But don't worry ... as I've said in another thread, they won't be shocked. Porthos

Although thinking about it, seeing my project finished is probably not nearly as good as seeing Malika in her new lululemon yoga pants.

Seeing a project that has been over a year in the making finally coming to a conclusion. It will be a very good feeling to see the finished product. Porthos

I agree ... don't be disappointed. You can easily have a wonderful 2, 3, 4 hour or even overnight or weekend experience. Probably for much less money than you were originally imagining on your original plan. One thing about this hobby, it is expensive and addictive. Don't plan for a one shot, blow it all out of this world experience, when you can have multiple out of this world experiences. The other thing I would say is that in my experience, the mind blowing times only come after you've seen a lady several times and you get to know each other more and more. I'd say only about 3 or 4 times have I left the first session saying "OMG, that was the most incredible thing I've ever experienced" .... but many times I've said that after the 3rd or 4th visit with a lady. I've been at this for 15 years ... and there are still things on my bucket list. That's what makes it great. Also ... if you are thinking of an overnighter or a trip away, you'll probably need to book the lady a few times before that happens. Just to make sure the comfort level is there. Go forth and have fun. Don't be disappointed, there's a whole world of sexual fun waiting. Porthos

as others have said, prostitution is not illegal in Canada. Various acts around the sex trade, however, are or may be. So public solicitation is illegal. This really only applies to the street trade, which you should stay away from in any event. Being found in a common bawdy house (a place routinely used for prostitution) is an offence under the criminal code. So technically that makes incalls (you visit the lady at her location ... whether it be an apartment, condo, or hotel room) potentially illegal. However, if you stick to well respected ladies, this isn't a problem. Generally the police are interested in incalls only if there are other issues: underaged girls, reports of drug use, disturbances, neighbour. complaints, etc. An Ontario court, however, has ruled that the Bawdy house provisions of the Criminal Code are unconstitutional, although this is being appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada. So the law in this area is a bit up in the air. So it is quite clear, that outcalls to your location are 100% legal in Canada. Incalls with respected ladies are not a problem. If the lady is operating out of hotels, make sure she is working out of a respectable hotel, rather than some dive. In my area there are a couple of hotels known for having lots of working girls, associated drug use, pimps, and general problems. Not necessarily unusual to have visits from the police in these locations. As has been suggested, stick to the wonderful women of CERB and you'll have no problems.

I have to say, I've never worried about it particularly. My wallet stays where it always is ... in my back pocket or in my jacket pocket (if wearing a sports jacket or suit). Never had any issue whatsoever. Porthos

Now we're talking ... I'm in!

Santa left me a big bottle of maple syrup ... so tonight I'm frying up a mess of bacon and making pancakes! YUM!!!!!

RG is a good friend going through some rough times. Yet still he takes the time to be a positive contributor to this community. Always a voice of reason and positivity Porthos

Hope you have a speedy recovery.
