Rather than cheese whiz grate real cheddar into your KD along with the milk and butter (lots of butter)

And they brew a nice beer as well!

What the hell are those mint things the Girl Guides sell now. If I wanted something that tasted like an After Eight, I'd buy a box of After Eights!! Roamingguy ... Totally agree about real Mac and cheese. We make one that includes several different cheeses (including extra old cheddar), salsa, and bacon. It is divine. KD is a completely different thing, and belongs in it's own food group.

GASP .... How can you eat it if it's not nuclear orange!!!!!!!! O.k., o.k. ... I've been giving this a lot of thought, and I think I can accept heterodoxy with respect to KD. I can accept white cheddar rather than nuclear orange. I can accept adding bacon rather than hot dogs, I can even accept (just barely) swirly noodles. BUT: getting back to Mrnice's original post: BROCOLLI is unacceptable. Someone needs to be held to account for this!!! Their head on a spike would be too good for them!!

Mmmmmm .... This will require some thought! On the one hand, bacon is good with everything. On the other hand, bacon mixed into KD is a pretty radical departure from orthodoxy! I like my KD this way

Yes indeed ... Hope you're having a fab day!!!!

I'm with you ... Cut up hot dog wieners stirred through at the end. Any thing else is basphemous.

I'm shuttering with disgust and revulsion. I thought it was bad enough when they made it microwaveable and started messing with the noodle shapes!!

Congratulations Spud ... A fabulous milestone

Couldn't agree more. It doesn't take long to very quickly identify a group of ladies who regularly tour, and visit the same cities on a regular basis. It's hard enough to be successful in this business operating in one city. Those ladies that tour have to be able to recover their travel expenses. This means delivering consistently top notch service every time, and building up a loyal and regular clientele in each city they visit. stick with these ladies and you'll be fine. The scammers show up once, then they're gone. If they show up again, it will be with a different name. There won't be recommendations for them. Do your research, double check Cowboy Kenny's diary and other sources. And most of all .... Have fun!

The SPs I enjoy seeing are individuals with rich and varied life experiences. They are smart, funny, sexy women who bring to the experience I share with them so much more than their body. They are mothers, partners, entrepreneurs, and so much more. If all they had in their life was exchanging sex for cash they'd be extremely uninteresting. Of course, I'm often unaware of all that is going on in their lives. The longer I'm in the hobby, however, the less I try to put "my fantasy and preconceptions" onto the situation, and come to the encounter enjoying the reality of it. As I've done that I find I've tended to see fewer ladies, but each experience has been far richer. At the end of the day, there are very few things more wonderful than life itself. Embrace it and be glad these wonderful ladies have enough love and sensuality to share their's with us.

Change your fantasy ... You're still special and now you're having a torrid affair!! Hot!! Porthos

Well, I'd suggest that if she isn't coming over to you for dances at the club, that it's a pretty good sign she won't be interested in more. I've been right where you are .... Many of us have. My infatuation started in the club. You see her for dances, then you're a regular, then you have her phone number and see her outside the club. You're spending lots of coin, You hope for more, there's flirting and suggestions, but nothing happens. Then one day you say ... "sorry, no I'm not going to pay your $1000 cell phone bill (and inside you're saying fuck, didn't you investigate data plan costs before you signed a contract)". And then, when she sees the tap is turning off, you're out. Women in strip clubs are experts at the art and power of attraction. The club is also a place where fantasy and reality can get blurred far too easily. This is one of the reasons I prefer SPs. In the strip club there is so much raw sensuality in the air, and it seems so available. This is it's appeal, and I do love that aspect of the fantasy. When you go to a SP or to a massage parlor, after you leave the fantasy evaporates. You can't just hang around, beer in hand, watching your favorite SP or MPA work. But you can at the club. Dangerous territory. I suspect she senses that you are attracted to her emotionally in a way she's uncomfortable with. Otherwise she'd be seeking out dances. I agree you need to talk to her. You need to either a) get this back on a client-provider setting, which frankly means keeping it in the club or b) see if there is something else. She may be avoiding you because she's hoping there's a possibility for something beyond the client relationship. But if this is the case, it means keeping it outside the club. My real advice, go find a wonderful SP and get her out of your system. And stop going to the club. You're torturing yourself. Oh, and they can be masters of the mixed signal. That's how you get hooked! Porthos

The ultimate take out experience has to be the chip wagon. Any Ziggy Peelgoods wagon in St. john's. Great chips, doused in malt vinegar and salt!!! I can feel my arteries hardening. Not really a take out/casual place, but in Winnipeg I always enjoy Rae and Jerry's. http://www.raeandjerrys.com/ Great steak, and in the summer a wonderful patio. But what I really love is the decor. You walk in and it feels like you've stepped through a time warp to 1957. I half expect to see Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack putting back martinis at the bar!!!

A couple of other St. john's spots. classic East cafe on Duckworth street is really good. My favourite pub in St. john's, if not anywhere, is Yellowbelly, a micro-brewery with fabulous beer. Be forewarned, they ONLY serve their beer, but you won't be disappointed. I highly recommend the Fighting Irish Red and the St. john's stout. Their food is great as well. The Greek burger, a mix of mince pork and lamb, with feta cheese and tzatziki sauce is incredible. The lobster hash on their weekend brunch is indescribable, as are their eggs Benedict on crab cakes. O.k. ... I have to go eat now!!! Porthos

In Toronto: People's Foods on Dupont near Davenport. Great burgers, souvlaki, and the best breakfasts. In the same neighbourhood Vespa lunch .... Classic greasy spoon Winnipeg: Kekekis On Main, but also the Nook diner. St. John's: can't go wrong with Chess' fish and chips, but also Velma's on Water Street or The Rocket.

More than a handful here!!!

I like Angela because she is full of interesting bits of info. Who would have known!!!???

It does seem to me that Via has a way of scheduling trains at times that just won't work for most people, then cancels them for lack of passengers. I've never understood why they'd pursue a self-fulfilling prophesy that erodes their customer base.

I like RG because he has great musical taste

Meg's new profile pic!!! Very nice Meg!!!

A related sort of annoyance: I've been known to tell Jehovah Witnesses that I already have a religion. They, of course, obligingly ask what it is. I reply that I'm a Druid, and invite them to our next sacrifice. The look on their face as I close the door is worth the occasional visit from the constabulary!!

Nazareth, Dream on

Piano's post has a lot in it, not just for virgins, but to anyone starting out in this hobby or even us veterans. Research, and think about why you're going down this road and what you hope to get out of it. Once you start down this path it's hard to stop, but if approached with dignity, respect, and open-mindedness, it leads to a world of beauty and sensuality that many only dream about. Thanks Piano .... Awesome post!
