Folks, I have been in the airline industry for 30 or so years since my late teens, and the incident involving the flight attendant at jet blue this week, is certainly one of the more bizarre ones..... First of all, why is the media glamourizing what this guy did, and portray hims as a folk hero ???? Are we THAT desperate for Hero's ? Those of us in the industry are shocked and quite dismayed that such RECKLESS BEHAVIOUR AND UTTER DISREGARD for safety of others is being hailed as one person's VALIANT fight against corporate America..... WHAT ??? What this CLOWN did was endanger the lives of his passengers, crew AND unsuspecting ground personnel. If anyone has seen the deployment of an emergency chute, not only is it a violent reaction ( because it deploys so fast ) but anyone underneath in all likelihood would be injured OR KILLED if struck by it..... Was the FA a victim of ABUSE .... most certainly !....however, the FA's recourse would have resulted in SEVERE CRIMINAL and Civil actions against the passenger, who in all likelihood could have been charged with a felony for improper behaviour and endangering other passenger's during the flight , and THEN A CIVIL LAW SUIT for injuring the FA with the falling bag, which injured the FA..... The Law, FOR VERY good reasons, deals harshly with those causing any sort of problems on an airplane....this FA, should have done the intelligent thing, which was to report the passenger to the Captain, who would have alerted the authorities, who at the end of the flight would have boarded the plane, and escorted the unwieldy passenger IN HANDCUFFS......wouldn't that have been a sweet payback ? Forgive my rant, but the more I see this guy in the news being hailed as a hero, the hotter I get......it's bizarre.......:ablow: Here is the link..... http://www.cnn.com/2010/TRAVEL/08/11/flight.attendant.reactions/index.html?hpt=C2

Well the Ontario Provincial Police, and their municipal counterparts have added some new crimes to the umbrella of "serious crimes". Guess what is now considered as a "serious crime"? Yep, prostitution. What does this mean for most of us? Nothing at all, really. Law enforcement are solely concerned with street girls, pimps, bawdy houses/brothels, and other indiscreet forms of an otherwise respectable vocation. No need to get spooked by this, but there is an increasing need to make sure the lady/ladies you see are of good repute, and conduct their business with discretion. Law enforcement seem to have a good understanding of the difference between an escort and a prostitute - the differences namely being class and discretion. Posted via Mobile Device

Most of the time, people don't notice me. I'm anonymous at the mall, blending into the crowd in my t-shirt, shorts and sandals. You might see me in my hard hat and jeans, dirty and sweaty at a job site. I might be outside a downtown office building, a wage slave, faceless in my baggy khakis and wrinkled polo shirt. You would hardly give me a second glance. But every once in a while, I change that. I become more than what I am. I become something just a little more special. I know, I know. I've heard it countless times. I don't need to do this. All the ladies want is for me to be clean, polite, respectful. I'm sure having that all-important envelope with me doesn't hurt either. Besides, I'm just going to take my clothes off right away anyway. But no. I don't do things in half measures. I already have those basics down. But I'll go just a little further. Just that little bit more. I dress up as if I'm going on a real date. I wear what I think will please her. Sometimes she doesn't even seem to notice. Sometimes I just get a quick 'nice clothes', after all my efforts. But that's OK. I'm really doing this for me anyway. For you see, the clothes are part of the ritual for me. They put me in the right frame of mind for the evening. I slip on my Birdboy persona along with the clothes that will best complement my lady. I want to live that fantasy to my fullest. I'm going to be just who I want to be. I want to show only the best of me, even if it's only for a few hours. My evening starts well before that door opens and I step through. I begin with a shave, thorough hot shower, deodorant, hair gel, cologne. After that? Well, that depends on the lady. Take this evening, for instance. My lady is slim, charming, classy. Mature, a delight in both the drawing room and those wonderful more private spaces just a few steps up. I know we'll get comfortable on the sofa, sip white wine and chat. She loves loves loves clothes. I know just how much trouble she goes to, to dress for me. It's only fair that I do too. I don't hold back when I dress for her. I know she'll notice. I slip on a new pair of silk boxers. I know that she'll see and feel the cool slipperiness under her warm fingers, and my firm buttocks under them. I pull on my pants, finely woven tan linen for this sweltering summer evening. They are tailored to perfection. I put on a pair of fine silk socks, woven with a tiny intricate pattern. First one, then the other. I think for a moment, then pull out a shirt from my closet. I love this shirt. It's Egyptian cotton, thin, crisp, the colors bright. Its blue, tan, and white stripes reminds me of a lady I fondly remember, and magical moments on her striped blue sheets. I button my shirt, and tease a pair of cufflinks into the cuffs. They make me smile. They have an enameled blue bird on them. My calling card. My namesake. I put on my watch, a family heirloom. Perfectly polished and poised on its leather strap whispering sophistication, rather than shouting for attention. My shoes. Oh, those shoes. My stylish Italian dress shoes. They've borne me over her threshold many a time, to joys untold. I know they will many more times yet. They match my belt to perfection. I had burnished them to a dull glow only moments before. I pick them up from their repose beside my bed. I shoehorn them on and tie their laces. I reach into my closet and pull out my tailored sport coat. It's warm outside, but my unlined navy blue linen jacket is cool. That extra layer will be welcome when I leave her home later. Much, much later. I'm almost ready to go. I pick up my keys and sunglasses. I slip a small white envelope into my jacket inside pocket. I take a last look in the mirror, and then I step out the door. My ritual is over. My evening has just begun.

Seriously to the gents who are doing this, get your act together you make it harder for those of us who follow the rules to get things done. There's nothing wrong with short notice appointments, suddendly the mood strikes, or your schedule opens up... there's no harm in asking. But don't rely on email or pms as the primary source of communication, that's just plain crazy. This is why the police do not have a 911 email address :) And to those who've scolded a provider for not promptly returning your last minute pm looking for company, shame on you. Maybe they couldn't answer your pm because they were already busy with a client who booked in advance, maybe they were at work, school or otherwise leading a life. To expect a prompt and speedy reply for a possible appointment by way of PM is about as logical as expecting a prompt reply by canada post.

Because we are a community, here is where we share our thoughts, feelings, and opinions much like you would a group of friends over lunch or a drink after work. We celebrate milestones, and offer strong shoulders for support when needed to our brothers and sisters. If you think this board is just about sex then you're in the wrong place. Carlos, as difficult as this day was for you understand that as your daughter grows and learns not only the lessons taught at school but the lessons that life is about to teach her as she embarks on this journey, remember that she will love you forever and think of you everyday as she recalls the love and life's lessons you have shared with her over all these years. Thanks sharing this turning point with us.

I'm going to go on a bit of a rant today. I'm not trying to offend anyone, but I think something needs to be said. Lately I have had a number of clients who have name-dropped other providers they have been with and then proceeded to try to discuss personal details about their time, OR who have asked me questions about what other escorts are like--but not in a professional, because I might be interested in seeing her kind of way, but in a I want to get dirt on this woman kind of way. Personal type questions. It's not cool to ask me if so-and-so has kids and or if so-and-so does drugs. It is completely tacky to talk about other SP's and it certainly doesn't turn me on to hear your feelings about other SP's. It is none of my business and if you expect me to gossip about my colleagues, it won't happen. While I hate to paint it so bluntly, our relationships with clients are still business relationships and it shows a complete lack of discretion to try to discuss other providers you have spent time with.

Even in Ontario? I've been told by my lawyer it was 19yo... If so, please MOD can you erase this thread?
