Wow ... I've never had this happen to me. That either means I'm seeing the right ladies, or the wrong ladies. (oh, I think the right ladies!) Porthos

Indeed, thanks Cato ... I thought my eye sight had suddenly deteriorated drastically overnight! Porthos

So true. I'll concede they are quite likely better made, more stable, etc., etc. I love Apple products. I use my iPad all the time, and would love to upgrade to Macs. But I'd rather take the cost difference and use it to see beautifully designed, highly functional ladies, rather than spend it on a computer. But, I've yet to experience the blue screen of death, so perhaps that might change my mind. Porthos

Many of my colleagues have made the switch. For me, though, the steeper price tag makes me hesitate. I recognize that many say they are better, but for my needs (primarily word processing, e-mail, and cerb), I'm not sure the higher price is warranted. They are sleek machines though, and the Apple marketing folks are geniuses! Porthos

No need to apologize RG. When I see that someone has been nominated for an award, or won one, it always makes me pay attention: this is someone who has made real contributions. So I agree it's very sad that we are not doing it. As I've said before, I wasn't here for the problems, but I can still see how it affects people. It takes time. As Mrnice said, there are lots of ways we reward each other, help each other, and support each other. The give a hug/get a hug, and the i like positivity are two of my favourites. In the end, deeds and actions speak louder than awards. Let's just keep building positivity by giving out congrats and best wishes every day! Porthos

I read this as retire retire, rather than turn in at the end of a long day. Nearly sent me into panic!!! Or at least I hope I was initially mistaken!!

Well, this thread has really struck home for me. I've moved around a reasonable amount in my life: Ottawa, Toronto, the Prairies, England, southern Ontario. I've never had a strong feeling about place. Home is where I am, and I've often looked forward to the next place .... The next "home" But as many of you know I spent the last year in Newfoundland, and in many ways I think I found a deeper emotional attachment to a place than ever before. It resonated inside me as no place has. Now that I'm back home in Ontario I feel very comfortable -- it is good to be back -- but I also feel dislocated from home at the same time. A very strange feeling. Porthos

Thanks guys .... Appreciate the advice

To me YMMV means that all services are at the ladies discretion, and therefore dependent on the sorts of things already mentioned: good hygiene, good manners, gentlemanly conduct all result in a good session, while the opposite will adversely affect the level of service. The wild card, of course is chemistry. With the best, most professional SPs, I find that if hygiene and manners are in place you can generally expect a fairly consistent and good / great level of service. Chemistry can push that to great / exceptional. In general, I haven't found looks to be a great factor in determining the service I receive.

I must confess I wasn't thinking about coffee as a drink, but rather more like something necessary for existence.

It also depends how far you want to go. I for one will be glad when the current fetish of men waxing their chests disappears. I do shave my balls though. But have received compliments on my soft furry chest. Porthos

O.k. So here is the context. Television is not that important to me. My current set is about 6 years old, and is a hulking monster. 23 inch screen. Not interested in a giant screen. 27 - 32 inches maximum. We've decided to get rid of cable. Most of our viewing is through stuff downloaded, Netflix, or streamed from the Internet. So, given that, does it make sense to get a flat screen, that I can either hook my laptop to directly, or stream to it. Or, just get a nice 27 inch monitor and hook the computer up to it directly. Advice, alternatives, options will be gratefully received.

And I suspect this is the motto of many ladies of CERB

Like RG and others I shave. It takes some practice, but I don't worry too much about cutting myself. It has happened once, but that's it. I'm afraid I'm a bit of a hairy, but sensitive beast. Using something like Nair or Neet would cause me all sorts of problems. Even using regular soaps on that region causes me trouble. I'm the only 50 year old man who regularly has Johnson's baby wash on his shopping list. Anything else leaves my ass itching like crazy!!! Porthos

My mother is nearly 90, wheelchair bound, very frail, and suffering from Alzheimer's. Not a good start for the highlight reel I know. But today when I visited her she was alert(ish) and knew who I was. That's an incredible highlight!!!!

I think you're dead on RG. The cost of enforcing bawdy house laws against Indy escorts simply makes it prohibitively expensive. The police are interested in street prostitution, bawdy houses where there may be human trafficking or drugs involved, and locations that result in community complaints. Porthos

I've had good luck with Dell, my son's Acer is now 4 years old and needs replacing, but has taken everything a teenager can dish out. My current HP has been a disappointment. That's the thing about technology. It seems to me that construction standards are highly variable, so for every great recommendation there are also horror stories. Computers .... YMMV

Absolutely ... I think it would be an incredible experience. Porthos

Congratulations to a wonderful lady! Way to go Emily!! Porthos
