Well then Thank Goodness for them. That's what makes them even the more so courageous, daring, HEROIC and hard-as-nails! They went so we didn't have to so we can be free. Let's leave politics behind us for this thread shall we?

I don't think a question like this should be addressed here. Reputable spa's and Mp's do not offer extra's as it would put their license at risk. I don't know about this particular spa, but here is not the place to ask about any MP estabishment. It's no wonder some of these places get shut down as inquiries like this put them on the radar.

Thanks Julia for your post. It really hit home to me as I have many friends over sea's. Living in Fredericton, has brought so many soldiers to my life. It is a difficult time of year for me, as I am reminded just how many brave young men and women have laid down their own lives for the sake of many!

I created a group to bring together local and visiting SPs who offer services in the east end of Ottawa and Hobbyiests looking for same. Feel free to join and add comments. http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/group.php?groupid=101&gmid=8795#gmessage8795

To the masses of CERB I do apologize for posting my statement on this specific thread; while I don't feel any less intense about my statement - there's a time and a place and the thread for either. As Julia stated I did not intend harm, nor is it meant as a literal our troops should shoot people - nor was it to detract for those that have served in the past. My great grandfather served in the British Navy, my grandfather and great uncle both served in the American Navy and I'm a current serving member of the Royal Canadian Navy and I have lost too many personal friends in the last 5 years. A statement was made that elicited a strong emotional response from me. Again my apologies to the masses for posting my statement here. Back on topic: I wouldn't even be alive today without the troops of the past. My grandmother on my father's side of the family lived in occupied Holland during the war and was only able to move to Canada because of the outcome of the war. My thoughts are with the fallen soldiers and civilians of the past that have helped shape our world as it exists today. Our freedom of speech and freedom of movement exist because of their sacrifices... As a side note that is starting to emerge more and more - loosing our troops isn't just a physical meaning in the sense of them dieing in action; but also the men and women who come home very different than how they left home (mentally that is).

The vets of the Canadian Forces have served Canada and the world with distinction and deserve to be remembered and honoured And it isn't just service in the hotspots of the world (Afghanistan, Kosovo come to mind right now), or in past conflicts (WW1, WW2, Korea), what about the humanitarian/peacekeeping/civil aid efforts undertaken (Search and Rescue, ice storm, flooding in Manitoba, Hurricane Katrina, numerous peacekeeping missions etc etc etc) Yes the men and women of the Canadian Forces chose their profession...that doesn't make the sacrifice any less. In fact in makes it more, they knowingly entered a risky profession, a profession that puts service before self Would anyone here make similar comments about choosing their profession, for example , towards firefighters, who died, or suffering health issues, because they go into a burning building saving lives. Some really need to remember Lest We Forget RG

You know, I fully support the troops, haven't recently supported the missions they've been sent on, and hope they come back safe, sane and alive. I also find that quote infuriatingly American and ridiculous. Lest we forget. Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515a using Tapatalk

Well said. Go to the appropriate place for the activity you seek. You don't go to McDonald's and ask for a steak. Posted via Mobile Device

A little thank you to the Canadian Forces. I have been very fortunate to have had many under my command over the years in Afganistan and Kosovo. They were always extremely professional, loyal and courageous. I don't think most Canadians realize what high regard Canadian soldiers, sailors and airmen are held in by your NATO allies. Be proud of your forces present and past, they are your history and history shows how great they are and were. Give them the support they need and remember to thank a veteran, you have no idea how much it means to us when that happens. :D

Thanks WIT for enlightening us with this historical perspective. The stress relieve which the arms of a lovely lass or a gentleman can provide to armed forces members returning from active combat duty or simply on a R&R furlough is enormous. To be able to forget about the horrors and fears engendered by combat is quite difficult for those who have not experienced it to completely understand. The constant tension about what the next corner or hill crest will bring; the worries about IEDs which can be placed anywhere by enemy combattants; the incessant noise and clamour which occurs around home base and any sortie into the field. The list can go on! Suffice it to say that war and the casualties it causes--not only in lose of lives of our armed forces members--but also to those who remain behind on the home front and share the anxiety of the safety of their loved ones ( be they sons, daughters, spouses or relations) is envidious. In our household we always watched the national Remembrance Day ceremony from Ottawa. Our Mother always reminded us that it was not only the soldiers who suffered. Of particular importance to her was the Silver Cross Mother and the agonizing story of having to see their son(s)/ daughter(s) killed in defence of our country's values. November 11 in particular, but any time of the year, please thank any military personnel for the role they play and the sacrifices they endure for us.

We will remember them past and present......

Well golly gee Julia, that's just a great find! I love watching educational films from the 50's and 60's. You wonder how anyone learned anything in those days!

If only I could grow a nice pussy duster, I would certainly do so for such a good cause, but instead, I will be donating to show my support.

Boobs and science, a great combination! Ok, so this last one has nothing to do with science, I just like it, ok.

I just wish someone told me about the risks when I was younger.

Wow cat couldn't of said it better myself.

Julia I don't think you know how romantic a coffee at Timmies can be So this lady goes to her doctor and explains that her husband can't get it up like he used to and their sex life is suffering. The doctor asks: "Have you heard of a new drug named Zyban?" The lady says 'yes', but adds that her husband refuses to take pills of any kind, and certainly won't take anything that "will make him feel like less of a man." The doctor advises the woman to slip it into his morning coffee when he isn't looking. The woman is nervous, but the doctor insists: "It will change your life within a day," so she figures she'd better try it. A week goes by and the lady shows back up at the doctor's office and the doctor asks her how it went. The lady heaves a tremedous sigh and explains: "I snuck it into his coffee like you said. And, sure enough, within 15 minutes, he cleared off the table, threw me on it and we had the best sex we'd had in 20 years." Perplexed, the doctor asks: "What's wrong with that?" And the lady schakes her head and says: "I don't think i'll be able to show my face at Tim Hortons again." Seriously, I agree with you, if it were me, I'd ask the lady out to dinner. But the way the thread went it sounds as if there is concern that a bona fide date could complicate and screw up a good hairstylist/client relationship. In this case going out for a coffee is small non committal step which can lead to dinner, movies, and more, or if there is no chemistry, they can continue as hairstylist/client As I see it RG

I will repeat what I have said many times in the past, as we keep bringing this subject matter up every few months. I have no issues with dating a SP, MA or Porn Star. It's the person and not the profession that attracts me.

Well, I'm here to throw another log onto the "it's complicated" fire ;) As far as falling for someone goes, her line of work would be irrelevant. I fall in love with the woman, not the occupation. That being said, I don't think I would ever have the guts to act on my feelings, even if they were mutually shared between her and I. Mostly because i'm not polyamorous and I would never ask a sp to quit. I've got no right to meddle in someone else's livelihood. However, if a perfect situation arose where myself and a sp had mutually fallen for each other, and she was ready to leave the business, I wouldn't hesitate for a second! Her former profession would not bother me, and I would be honored to share a life, both private, and public with the women I had fallen for.

I'd take a humble, respectful, unattractive gentleman over a cocky Brad Pitt anyday!

Ohhhh Lee.... I must reiterate my allegiance to the Habs... and Bianca Beauchamp....

OD, I was going to give you rep points but I already spread too much love around in the last 24 hours... I have to admit that I still have not gone skinny dipping with the Lovely Dorinda... Something else to explore in the near future ;)

This is the original video for the song Poison by Alice Cooper which was censored because of naked boobies. To quote another person, it's amazing how it's okay to watch people kill each other, but not the human body.
