This is a most difficult question to answer. In my life I have seen some of the most vile and disturbing acts anyone can ever imagine. I've served in Bosnia 3 times, Croatia twice, Kosovo twice, Afganistan twice officially and 4 times on short stays, and Iraq twice. Recently early in the summer, I was also in another war zone. This is an experience I would not wish on anyone, what you see in the movies gives you no concept of the realities of war. I was very happily out of it all, when I was asked last fall to go back and take on a slightly different job. Is this something that I regret, no. It was a very difficult decision to make, and I made it for the right reasons. Why, because protecting those who cannot protect themselves is always worth the risk. So what is it that inspires me? A moment in time, I sometimes ask myself if it was even real. During some of the worst fighting in Iraq, something outstanding occurred. We were in Az Zubayr, it was I figure around 6am. Fighting had been raging all night and I was on almost no sleep for 3 days. I came around a corner with the young soldier who still serves with me today, weapons were up and ready. I still don't know what caused either one of us to hesitate, something didn't feel right for whatever reason. As we came around the corner there was a little girl standing there. I don't know why she was there, she must have been maybe 6 or 7, but she smiled at us. Both of us lowered our guard just so she knew we would not hurt her, she reached down and picked two little flowers that were growing next to the wall and walked over and gave them to us. The young soldier and I looked at each other in amazement....how could something like this happen here, in this place, under these circumstances? Then she smiled again and walked away...I still wonder how any of it was ever real! Well it was real, I still have that flower tucked away in a very safe place. It reminds me that no matter how terrible things can get, there is always something that can make you smile and remind us, there is some good in this world! My grandfather said to me as a very young boy, "Do what's right, not what's easy". I live by those words every day, and will never give up hope on humanity.

So, he's supposed to write some introduction first before he asks his question? That's bullsh. If the guy wants to know who offers or is into face-fucking, and he wants to post a general request rather than search through a ton of websites and so forth, that is his perogative and I really don't see what the big deal is. We're not little kids. Face-fucking really doesn't require that much trust, even if the guy is holding your head. You know why? Because he's got his dick IN YOUR MOUTH. It goes too far or it goes south or whatever, just fucking bite it off. He won't be holding your head or ramming his dick down your throat then, will he?

This is the kind of thing that scares people off from posting and asking questions here, the OP has been a memeber for almost a year. Be it is fist question or 1,000 post he's entiled to ask in a respectful manner, which he did. He decided to ask a question about something that he was curious about. Let's not be so quick to judge about the act but to be more friendly and develop a sense of community rather than judgmental silos. We all agree it's service that some providers offer but usually not to a first time visitor and with good reason, like any other extreme services there is a level of trust and communication between all involved for the event to be carried off successfully. As I suggested earlier perhaps for the faint of heart around here we should refer to the act as facial fornication.

When life's got you down on your knees and is continuously hoofing you in the ass and kicking sand in your face....what motivates you to get back up, grab life tightly by the balls and and say "Screw you life! I'm not taking your shit lying down anymore!!" ? This can be certain music, maybe a movie, maybe a book. Maybe a person...anything really. For me, the Rocky movies do it for me every time. Especially this scene from the last film And also a little known movie called Always Outnumbered Always Outgunned with Laurence Fishburne. And as for music...these songs always get me going: Still Unbroken - Lynyrd Skynyrd Life Won't Wait - Ozzy Actually Ozzy's new album Scream has a few pick-me-up songs, like Let It Die http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FT-m_rlrNMc, Let Me Hear You Scream http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5JJy8Z4dNM&ob=av2e and Fearless Refuse/Resist by Sepultura - Ac/Dc Thunderstruck http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RukUetw0hAM&ob=av3n The Razor's Edge What A Wonderful World - Joey Ramone Million Dollar Moment - Headstones:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GH-QYUz7JAQ I'm Your Boogie Man - KC and The Sunshine Band And I did mention the Rocky movies....so laugh if you want but I can't leave out Eye Of The Tiger, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgSMxY6asoE, No Easy Way Out and of course Gonna Fly Now :)

Just as an aside, the comment about stereotypes struck a nerve. IF we all reacted and responded to prevailing and existing stereotypes, then perhaps none of us would have discovered the women of CERB and therefore learned just how wrong stereotypes are. I have had my mind opened to an incredible world of intriguing women and THAT negative stereotype that certainly was there is gone forever.

I have really struggled with this thread. I didn't know how to voice my feelings and not sound shallow. Then, I heard something that inspired me and justified my true feelings... "The most important relationship you have in your life is the relationship you have with yourself; cause, no matter what happens, you will always be with yourself" Diane von Furstenberg. This really made me realize that I am the author of my own life story. I must first love myself before I can give to others and I do! I feel that I am a very compasionate person and this comes from self acceptance. I have had many ups and downs in my life and way too many struggles but I am wise enough now to understand that these experiences have shaped me into the person I am now; a person that I respect and love. I guess, inspiration needs to come from within before we can see and accept the multitude of inspiration that surrounds us. With self acceptance comes a great urge to help others and to learn from them!

What inspires me? People like Big Al, one of our very own here on Cerb. His honest and heart-breaking confessions of loneliness and sexual frustration instantly remind me how lucky each and every one of us actually is. There are so many things we are guilty of taking for granted. Until of course, something happens that jeopardizes that. Mobility. I guarantee almost all of us make each and every physical movement without giving it a second thought. Imagine not being able to just reach down between your legs for a moment of comfort or relief. Everything works down there, yet you can do nothing about it. For many of us, that alone would be excrutiating. Even if he could do something about it, he never has any privacy. Due to his CP, he requires assistance for all tasks. When its time for bed, he's left from 12am. to 10am. alone in his bed, unable to move or turn over, let alone get up and go for a middle-of-the-night-pee. So for 10 hours a day he is alone, in his bed, a virtual prisoner in his own body, unable to perform even the most basic of movements. Yet, he is an intelligent, unbelievably sweet, positive, understanding, patient, selfless, generous and an overall amazing human being. He has an incomparably great sense of humour and knowing him has changed my life in so many wonderful ways. Big Al is my own personal hero. The first time I went out to see him, and could finally see with my own eyes, the daily obstacles this young man faces, I was instantly in awe of his unwavering positivity through it all. Yes, we have all in our lives been faced with hard times. I am no exception, but when put into perspective, I can walk, talk, feed myself, type with all my fingers, drive a car, swim, ride a bike, masturbate... So please, the next time you feel down or you've just had a shitty day, remember folks like Al who struggle everyday with much bigger hurdles in life than the rest of us. We, unlike them, have the freedoms of mobility and speech. Inspiration comes from those who do not but continue to carry on, despite the unfairness of their condition. I salute and admire you all.

My 2 cents on negative reviews. There are 2 kinds of negative reviews. The honest, reliable ones written by reputable guys who have truley had a bad experience. The other are the ones written by someone with an axe to grind and are not honest or reflective of the SP's character or service. These can occur for a variety of reasons such as vengence, jealousy (another SP or her BF), the guy is one of those who is never happy, unreasonable expectations, poor communication, etc. What one must do when reading a negative review is evaluate the context of the review and the mood of the author. Was it obviously written in anger or well thought out and rational? Was it more of a personal attack than a review? Who wrote it and what is their posting history? How does this correlate with other reviews written about said provider? What is their main complaint? Is it a situation where that particular gentleman's tastes are different than yours? I'm about to go on a business trip to Boston. I'm staying in a very nice hotel. More expensive than I normally would but my supplier is paying the bill and they picked the place. I went online and while 98% of the comments are excellent there were a few people on there saying they have bedbugs, or not enough towels or the staff were unfriendly. Now do I believe the positive comments of hundreds or the negative comments, possibly left by competitors, of a few? What I'm trying to say is, there is no such thing as a fool proof, 100% accurate reliable review (unless it's one of mine ;)). Whether it is a positive (there are alot of shill reviews out there as well) or a negative review, one must read and analyse the content and then decide for one's self if this is advice you wish to follow. Cheers

Well, I think that ad is a product of its time. We've moved on since then, fortunately. But I don't agree that it shouldn't be discussed here. I know there are quite a few folks who disagree with me on whether stuff like this is appropriate for CERB, but I've always found it preferable - in the long run - to deal with the world as it is, rather than as I'd like it to be. I'm sure everyone here takes appropriate precautions, but HIV and other nasty things are an unfortunate reality of life (for everyone, not just people here) and I see no benefit in sweeping them under the carpet and pretending they don't exist.

I think the best response is "when I can." As a hobbyist, I do have to take into consideration that you may be working, you may be taking time off, or you may just want some "me" time. It is unreasonable for me to expect that you will answer me immediately or even for me to have some mental deadline to impose upon you. For providers? It's like any other job. There are days when you can get though the avalanche of emails you receive and satisfy everyone. There are days when you miss your personal goals or deadlines because you are just too damn busy... and that's okay too. Then there are the emails and pm's that you absolutely dread answering. That potential client that just wants to kick the tires. That ex client that you don't want to see. The non -client that is messing with you. The guy that everyone else has warned you about. If the client is the real deal and you want to book with him, he will understand if you are a little late. It adds to the desirability, the mystery and the fun. I guess the bottom line is that it is YOUR business and how you manage YOUR client base is entirely up to you!

I so have to dis-agree with your comment here, what occupation someone holds, does not not make me decline a visit with them. If I am asking for someones work info it is to screen them to see that they are who they say they are, not for any other reason than that. I have NEVER had an issue with anyone booking an encounter and not being able to pay for it, and regardless to what one does for a living that does not make them any more hygienic that the next person

I always remind myself that things could be worse when life has got me down and out. I could be starving, homeless, or a combination of both, but I'm not. My life isn't really all that bad compared to many others in the world at large and those people still wake up every day to face life, as horrible as it may be. That alone is inspiring enough.

Being alive is my high. Although I have never been in a position of being homeless, life has dealt many trying moments. When I finally get time to reflect on things I realize life is a process from one thing to another. Many young poeple I meet now actually listen when I help them realize they are young, that things will get better. Attitude makes the world of difference. There is always something each individual can reflect on which helps them realize this is a beautiful world we live in as Nat King Cole sang. My main lift is always my children and family. I want to live to be an old old man and watch them evolve.

I find all of this very disappointing to read. It bothers me because it almost insults the rest of us. Whether we like it or not, people generalize. And if SPs in Winnipeg have a reputation of being flaky, non-commital, unavailable, unfriendly, scammers, rushers and overall unprofessional, then its going to reflect negatively on the rest of us. I take what I do for a living very seriously. I chose to do it, with 2 university degrees behind me. It didn't matter. I regularly apply my business acumen to my choice of career and I pride myself on the level of friendliness and professionalism I consistenly maintain. And it isn't always easy, either! lol To those who constantly disappoint, won't pick up their phones, refuse to provide advertised services and so on, shame on you all. This is a business ladies, and your number one priority should always be your client. Try and put yourself in their shoes for a moment. Would you appreciate driving hours into the city, having made an appointment for some fun, to find you're being avoided/stood up? Not a good feeling. Or what about posting photos of yourself that are clearly not of you, or are completely out of date? How can any of you be at all surprised when a client is clearly disappointed with how you really look? False advertising is illegal in most other industries, as it should be in this one. Oh! And let's not forget the young and inexperienced ones who come onto the scene out of nowhere and start demanding $300 an hour. I think those have to be my favourites. :roll: Anyway, my advice to the plethora of SPs available in Winnipeg (more than in any other city), is to try a little integrity. It goes a long way. If you behave unprofessionally, you will be found out, in one way or another, so why even bother? Just because you have a digital camera, a cell phone and an internet connection, does not necessarily qualify you to call yourself a Service Provider.

I am so with you and feel the same way, I want to help everyone and make a difference if its possible. My suggestion,lets put all out prejudices and preconvienced ideas aside. I suggest we all keep our ideas open as nothing it as seems. If anyonw is in trouble, plese contact me, i will do my best to help, Love katherine, blessings to all of you. xoxo

Ripley... you qualify as a member regardless of your genitalia. But if you wish to attend as a man - go for it! A few tips: Discretely adjust yourself from time to time. To check for armpit odour, simply lift your arm to point and get distracted by something in the other direction. That will suffice for the optimal pit to nose verification. Spend much of your time looking at boobs and bums. Don't get caught looking too long. Buy Old Dog a drink. All men do this. Wear boxers. It let's your boys breathe, even if they are mentally fabricated boys.

Ok, so the rules for this one are thus: 1. The musician you pick must begin with the last letter of the band/artist named in the post above. ie. Alice Russell...>Le Tigre 2. You may only post one song per entry. 3. Include a youtube link if possible! I'll start it off with one of my favourite PJ Harvey songs (this means the next poster must name a band/artist that begins with the letter 'Y'). PJ Harvey--My Beautiful Leah

I met with Jane and she really is a hidden gem. She is intelligent, friendly and socialable. It was very easy to talk with her, she is very nice. She has an incredible body because she is very athletic. I had the pleasure of giving her a massage so I could caress her smooth skin and great ass. I kissed her all over and I could tell she really enjoyed it, as did I. Completely non-rushed and really easy going. I had a good time and hope to see her again sometime.

You probably wonder what this thread is all about. I was looking at the 2011 Valued member/SP award thread and then I was reminded of very valuable past members who used to be great contributors to cerb in the past years and now for their own reasons they are inactive or not so much active on cerb. And these are the ones (and many more but space for my post is limited and I leave some to others: Seymour. A true gentleman with many thousands of very valuable posts especially the jokes who brought smiles to our faces. His passionate recommendations and his unconditional sincere support for his cerb friends. In my mind he is and will be a valuable cerb member. I hope he becomes active again but of course entirely his decision. Kih - Also a true gentleman and with many valuable recommendations and very friendly personality who posted many valuable posts during his stay on cerb. I hope he becomes active again but entirely his personal decision of course. Monk - He posted many friendly valuable posts and gathered such a popularity during his short stay on cerb. I hope he comes back, regardless my best wishes to him. I couldn't nominate them for the 2011 cerb valued members award (since they have not been active in 2011) but in my mind they are and will always be valued members. Do you know someone of similar great past standing?.

Thanks Cato. I need to dig up my list of previous winners... I forgot to include it this time around.

I Merged this. Keep in mind that this is NOT a review board as well. I know in this case you scored her with perfect numbers but RATTING the ladies is NOT permitted on this site as many of the ladies get very upset when this is done and I have to go delete them all and hand out warnings when they ladies ask to have them removed.

Just wanted to second LeeRichards' nomination.

I find different things inspire me every day but of course there's some that stay for ever. For me, my biggest inspiration are my parents they are 2 great people that have not always had it easy and in different ways as they each have their own personality but they did not let anyone stop them from getting where and what they wanted. Also, again in different ways they are very caring people and they have and actually keep teaching me stuff but not only with words but with their actions. Children also inspire me, their energy the way they enjoy the silliest things, how they don't care who is watching or what others think. People who always or almost always see the positive side of things and situations. Those who have a lot less (and I'm not just talking material things) than me and irradiate happiness are amazing and of course an inspiration. Wow what an awesome thread, love it!! Thanks Castle for starting it :)

Do you value your balls? LMAO Just kidding. But seriously, someone told me once that she received a bag full of rolled coins as payment.

So that men won't mind buying them for us as gifts :)

I have been searching for the perfect purse for eons. I've come close a few times, but never found one that suits my needs exactly, including the years I toted around a Lands' End diaper bag. I want a bag that's big enough for everything without looking like it's holding a lot of stuff. I want it to look good both when it's nearly empty and when it's almost too full. I want it to have compartments that stay closed but which will magically open the first time I reach in, say, to answer my cell phone. I want it to be made of beautiful, finest-quality leather, soft as butter, but able to survive a fall from an airplane, if required. I want it to repel dirty slush, mud and watercolor paint. When required, I want it to magically produce that lost lipstick or eyeliner pencil. Of course, it should always have contain enough spare change for the parking meter and should frequently surprise me with an unexpected $50 bill tucked in some corner. As it ages, I want it to look graceful and storied, not like it's been knocked-around for much longer than is seemly. Naturally, I also want it to make me, by association, to look more lovely and cultured, but also more easy-going and friendly. If you find one of these, WiT, you know how to get in touch with me, don't you? ;)

One thing to remember for the guys is that when you do offer to give a massage to a lady, that you actually spend some time on the shoulders, back, neck, legs, etc. It's not just an excuse to grope all of the pretty parts. :)

Poor service is indemic in today's society as we all know, whether one spends hours on the phone being told mechanically how important you are to said company, or not being able to find a clerk to provide any assitance and on and on and certainly this game has not been immune to it. For this reason I have reduced my participation and have found it much less frustrating than chasing my own tail. I concur that some of the "reviews" on the other erb can be over the top, but I'll say this more than a couple of "train wrecks" have been outed which in the end is good for all involved. Balance is the key. Peace MG

Social ticket bought and vacation flights booked. I guess I am in so I am gonna show up and see how you Ottawa folks party ;) Lookin forward to meeting those that are attending !! and maybe one or two that aren't attending. Depends how long I stay ;)

Personally, I find the 'reviews' on the other board, overall pretty tasteless and gross. Far too many gory details and the SP is spoken of as if she is simply a piece of meat. At least here, attributes other than just the physical are mentioned and celebrated. A little off topic I know, but still worth stating, I think.

Scarlett from Barb's!! Her eagerly awaited pics, with thanks.

No offense guys, but I don't find a guy bodysliding to be sexy LOL. Leave that to me! ;) Posted via Mobile Device

I would just like to write a short note to thank this community for being such a positive board. I admit, I do love a good debate when things heat up and have found the majority of members here to be right along the same path. I have learned so much since I have joined this community and it has enhanced my communication skills as a bonus. I'm a thinker, have always enjoyed learning from others and love a good match from time to time to gracefully agree to disagree. This positive influence here I find, draws this community together as we work together to find that fine balance in a forum where tone can be lost by written communication. Hence, I have acknowledged the overall influence here contains a good mix of members whom hold excellent people skills, communication techniques and with an awesome splash of assertiveness that does not get lost. Good people skills make us all feel much more comfortable working together to make Cerb a great place. We do not feel pressured when we work together and I'm happy that that we can all contribute ideas and express our thoughts in an overall positive environment. We all know one way of getting people to be comfortable is not to be too opinionated. Instead, we encourage members to voice their opinions and ideas. We show them respect by acknowledging these skills.Overall, whatever we do, we try to find a common ground where everyone can agree, most times. Anyway in conclusion to my long winded appreciation ramblings.... Thanks everyone and I do have marshmallows if you can get through to my last sentence. ; ) xo

Well Carrie already suggested her, but after reading this thread, if I was in manitoba's shoes, I'd be phoning/texting/emailing Soleil, now!!!! It's amazing how one GREAT encounter with a lady can put the bad ones behind you And I know if I get a couple extra dollars I'm planning on hopping a flight to Winnipeg.....just something about Soleil that makes me want to meet her Ramblings for whatever they are worth RG

Your first mistake is in assuming there`s a consensus of how to be a escort.. and that there`s a community that decided how this is done. All that it takes to be an escort is the decision and to advertise. No work ethic or skills are required. You only find out who is reliable by trial and error and by reviews (hopefully). This is about the only job I know of where a girl can be late, rude, or not even show up and still be given another chance with that person or another client. Any other job and she`d be fired in a heart beat. Lumping ladies into a group doesn`t work.. same here in Ottawa.. it would be like getting bad service at a restaurant and then lumping all restaurants in the city in the same category.. I sympathize with your plight though! I finally toured Winnipeg after being begged by so many guys to visit.. and had about 3 or 4 standups. I also however had several bookings that went very well. I certainly don`t judge the city for it. It happens when girls tour. It`s murphys law as well..the longer you travel the more likely something will go wrong :( See Soleil next time :) she`s fun, busty and professional! oh! red flag for me in an ad.. anyone who claims to be available 24-7. If she is indeed available like that.. she is a crackhead In my experience. If she isn`t.. she has no problem with false advertising.

Go so far away that you stop being afraid of not coming back Don't wait for the storm to pass, learn how to do dance in the rain Always remember who you are I try to live by those quotes, not sure who wrote them, but they speak to me. I have been far in my life, I have had things happening to me, that today make me stronger then I use to be. I was in the hospital when I was younger, I have had a story of harming myself at some points and each day I see the scars on my arms...and years after years they are finally fading away...but they remind me of my struggles, fears and battles that I had against myself and others. I have forgot more then once and even today, who I am, who I truly am. I tried to change for some peoples, because they are/were my friends, I have fallen in love...and change myself more then once. But at the end I do believe (I will sound harsh here), that you are truly alone in a way, people, friends, family, lover will be there by your side, love you, support you...but with inner struggle, you are always alone. I remember who I am, where I come from and I hope, that I know where I am going. I've had so much shits in the past, I have been so far...that today not that much actually scare me...and I love dancing in the rain(nekkid or not!)

I have been homeless and lived on the food bank during my last year of high school. That experience alone, and knowing that there are others who haven't been successful at bouncing back from something like that, has made me who I am today. We all go through bad times. Sometimes, you need a mosh pit, sometimes, you need to dance, sometimes you need to reach out to a mentor, a hero, a good friend. And me? I cling on to my dreams. If I fail, I keep going. And if I fail again, I try harder. I hold on to the fact that if you take a moment to refocus, you see that life is incredibly beautiful. It's beautiful precisely because it's possible to start over. We can't help everyone but we can recognize that greatness is inside us. And when you push through the bad times, you may be quietly inspiring someone else too. :)

I agree with Katherine and Angel as well. You never realize just how good you have it sometimes. Also what keeps me going if I have a really bad day, I think of my Family. I will pick up the phone and chat with them for a little while. That always makes me feel better! Living away from all of them can make it a little lonely from time to time. It is always nice to hear there voice :) P.S. Katherine I tried to give you rep points for your bottom line that you wrote, " If anyonw is in trouble, plese contact me, i will do my best to help" but I ran out of rep points. But many rep points deserved. xox

I as a man who participates in this lifestyle, a lifestyle that has brought me in contact with many wonderful and great ladies will only say that the concern about sensitivity and discretion, while on quick and first glance, understandable, should really be of little or no concern at all. Prior to an encounter, the lady doesn't know who she is meeting, all she wants is to protect herself. And really, the lady is the one at risk, not the man It's hard for the outside world (those who don't partake in this lifestyle) to be expected to get rid of their stereotypes if those who do partake in this lifestyle still cling to those stereotypes I do share the concern about work, only because I'm in a shared office. But I do happily provide other verification information, with no evasiveness, Finally, I'm not telling anyone what to do, everyone has their own comfort levels. But you are missing out o seeing some great ladies by not verifying RG

In public, and mixed company I try to be careful when I express things, to not offend people in general. But I figured on CERB, that this is really a sexually related site, and that being able to be more direct and use terms that are clear, but perhaps something we would not use in public, to be something that should be okay and acceptable the members. So, it surprises me, and particularly lately, that there has been some fuss about the language used on this site. I don't think the OP was trying to be offensive, certainly didn't direct anything to anyone in particular, but was direct and clear. So, I didn't take offense, in fact, I sent a recommendation via PM. I would hope in general, the use of the specific language on this site would not in itself be considered offensive.

And all those hours I spent on this My efforts weren't repaid. Sometimes, maybe, I'd get a kiss; It never got me laid.

I agree with you Megan. Getting off to a fast start would be even better with someone you know and like

Angel with dark curly hair is pretty awesome. :) I am trying to visualize a blonde Angel. Oh it is dangerous for me when I start visualizing. Ahhh, hmm, a little logistical question from a guy who has zero experience with women wearing wigs. What happens, if I would be so lucky, that said Angel is in control and has me just where she wants me and with my usual loss of rational thought, I pull her hair - oops, wig. One must consider that Murphy's Law rules. :)

I offer this service, and very much enjoy it. But as Malika stated, YMMV--if you're average sized, no problem, but if you've got some monster cock, my skills aren't that good yet.

Jack Layton represented a style of politician which used to be common but is very rare today. He was someone whom you could respect and trust regardless of whether you agreed or disagreed with his policies. A very rare quality and something that everyone can try to emulate when we are debating others over deeply held and personal points of view.

How do you think we are cutting our client base down by screening and asking for information? At the end of the day it is first and foremost about MY personal safety and those who I am visiting with. I for one don't think it decreases any Companions potential client base down, in fact I think it increases it as it shows that a lady is being selective with whom she is visiting with and that her personal safety and well being are being put first buy getting to know and screening her potential dates. Question for you face2face, would you be willing to let some random stranger whom you know nothing about into your personal space, not knowing a single thing about them?

I know I may not have been on and in the cerb community for long, and my contributions may not be public, but i spend hours upon hours every single day speaking to so many amazing curious people. Men and Women, whether it be to come see me, ask questions and the more the better, or to communicate back and forth with people i would never have had the pleasure of having a cerb-ship with ;) I am not at in the least bit asking for this nomination, just want to clarify that although my contributions cant be seen by EVERYONE, I take the the time to reply to and get to know absolutely everyone, 1 person at a time. I give everyone an equal part of me. I am sure someone else will graciously accept this award, but i am forever grateful to Cato for thinking I was worthy and deserving enough....even for a split second! ;) Thank you, xoxoxoxo

Thanks, Isabella. Good point for us all to bear in mind. I should clarify that I didn't nominate her on the grounds of best service, though I did happen to mention her recommendation thread. It was rather because of her contribution of fun and excitement to the community. She's accumulated a fair number of rep points, posts on her profile page, and friends, in a very short time. Since most others nominees have been proposed without grounds for their nomination being indicated, I should probably just have suggested her without further ado.

- hairdresser ruining your hair - gum stuck to your shoe or stepping in dog crap - something you want online real bad that only ships to the US - banging/yelling etc from upstairs or next door appartment neighbours - hair in food at restaurant - new shoes that give you blisters
