Mod your efforts and contributions to this board are very much appreciated. I for one do like your, wealth of knowledge that you deliver into this forum, and to see you just moderate the forum and not participate in the threads, your input would be missed. Please reconsider.

I agree! The things I find about these threads are that people are now trying to compete to be the top threads, member of the month, SP of the month or whatever nominations we now have! Therefore people are trying harder to have a word of enlightenment and are not getting there point across clearly. We are all fortunate that there is someone like The MOD, to keep this site going. I for one was happy to see MOD have his input in some of the threads. Make him seem more like a human being and not just some guy that lives in his mother?s basement. I have had my share of tiffs on this site with people and I realized that now people have taken the fun out of the threads. Yes it is nice to be noticed, appreciated and nominated, but it has gotten to the point where I would prefer to just look at the pictures, jokes and advertisements. I have chosen to stop participating in the threads as I peoples were giving me hell for my opinion. Maybe it is the new added competition to be the top poster or the thread of the month is taking the fun out of posting threads, but I don?t find it fun anymore. RELAX! This is a FUN review board only. MOD it would be a dam shame if you quit participating because of a miss worded post or a difference of opinions. I think it?s great to know what your thoughts are!

Strip clubs are for office parties. Masseuses are for medicinal massages. And for everything else, there's independent SPs. Lol.

One of the reasons you should Never do an outcall that doesnt provide you with a landline.. There is absolutely nothing to say where that person actually is.. Extremely dangerous...

Having known people who were caught up in the cycle of addiction, I have witnessed first hand the worst of this business. There are what I call "extended pimps". Even though these girls may have told you they weren't forced to work, c'mon - their money was still ending up in the hands of their dealer to feed their addiction. If they owe for fronts or need a phone card and they're broke, sometimes the dealers (or others) will do them favours - so they have to do what they do to avoid being beat up or worse, so they're still caught up in the cycle of having to work. If you're a prostitute and owe a dealer money and can't pay him, see how fast you'll be under his/her thumb. And this can happen to anyone at any age, not just young people. And the person does not have to a drug user themselves. I have known of girls supporting their spouses' drug or gambling addiction by working so they could try and keep a roof over their heads. I know a woman who is in her fifties who advertises on CL (as much younger) and does not have a computer. Up until recently she depended on her dealer to post her ads. If there was a day he didn't have product, he wouldn't put her ad up because he didn't want her making money and buying from someone else. Her whole reason for working is to pay for her addiction but she will tell you that no one makes her do anything. It it not the lifestyle I could stomach. Another example is hanger-ons, so-called friends and boyfriends who encourage the girl to work so they can "party". They don't pimp her per se, but because maybe someone is providing a place to crash or do business, their motive is "encourage" the girl as much as possible to work. And has been said before here, even if someone is being co-erced to work, often they will not want to go against their perpetrator, so it is very hard for the police to make charges stick some times. Being under-age is a little easier for the cops to make a procuring charge stick, but the people orchestrating these things are like cockroaches. The moment you turn on the light, they scatter. And even if you do catch some of them, there are hundreds waiting in the wings. It's so sad, and no matter how the laws are changed, I believe we will always have this element of society attached to business because they view it as quick and easy money to get what they want. It's nice to think we are all independent in that we work when we want, how we want with no one telling us what to do, but some have chosen a lifestyle that although it may start out like that can get very ugly as lines are crossed.

Colon health is a favorite topic of mine, as many of you already know. It is critical to ensure all is good in the colon because once there is trouble it effects every aspect of the body. Most of the medical testing procedures today are really well done and fairly easy to take. There are a lot of things we can do to keep things running smoothly on our end. I know I sound like a grandma, but fiber is key and should be supplemented daily. My favorite is psyllium fiber which is sold under the brand name Metamucil. They now have cookies and bars which are convenient and easy to use and the powder comes in berry, lemonade, and orange flavors. There is no excuse for not getting enough daily fiber. The second thing is hydrotherapy. The finest hydro-therapist I have ever used is right here in Ottawa down in the market on the corner of King Edward and St. Patrick. She is THE BOMB and can fix up all kinds of health challenges thru proper colon management. Taking care of yourself is key. Simple prevention and a little attention go a long way. Cat

The reality is law enforcement has a job to do, and in this industry I support their choice to try and protect the underage girls who are in these situations. From experience, I know teenagers are incredibly stubborn and naive. I am sure these girls think they are in a partnership of sorts, but they don't realize it is a pact that will leave them damaged and broken. Coercion and violence are a part of life when a girl has a pimp and they are usually estranged from their loved or less than loved ones. The police need to do what they can to protect these young girls. Quite often it takes a prison cell to keep these girls away from their pimps. The loyalty is so disturbing. The police are not looking for consenting adults who do not make a nuisance of themselves to the community, they are going after the one group that permeates this business and makes it dirty. I for one support this effort and I think we do not need to become paranoid and blow this out of perspective. Cat
