    In my years in command, I have officially been in the field of war 11 times. Afganistan twice, Iraq twice, Bosnia three time, Croatia twice, and Kosovo twice. I've been sent back to Afganistan on 6 short missions and have been on other missions as well. Over 22 years I have lost 6 young British men, 17 Afgans, 3 Americans and one Polish soldier. 77 wounded...well 78 if you include myself. I have witnessed genocide in both Bosnia and Kosovo. Walked in to villages where every male regardless of age has been executed and every female regardless of age was raped. There's all the broken homes caused from overseas deployments, the stress on spouses and children. I personally have suffered through a very broken relationship with my son, who now as an officer himself understands how difficult a life he has chosen. My own marriage broke apart due to being posted overseas so often. 20 years ago in April, I held my new born son in my arms and teared up as I looked at him. As a parent all I wanted to do is protect him for the rest of his life. In February it is his turn to head off to war for the first time, now I grasp more than ever the stress my parents and wife went through. It has brought my son and I closer than ever.

    It is day 55 of occupy Wallstreet. The world has come together in a plight against the 1%. Among many of the issues being protested some stand out more than others such as healthy food, clean water, health care, workers rights, better pay ect.. When protests began I was excited to see so many people come together for a good cause, and had a glimmer of hope. Now, not so much. I don't want to accept it, but this is the world we live in and I don't see any changes coming in the future. The news is telling us of stories of protesters being beaten, shot at and gassed. You tube is filled with videos, some inspiring and some I wonder how anyone is getting away with treating protesters this way while being caught on camera. It's all too much for me. It's all for nothing. The sad part to me is that to make change, this world has a twisted way to do that and if you want to make history, then to war it is. War? Highly unlikely. We can't all give up our jobs and mortgages, protest, eat off the land and forgo all credit cards, loans and investments. We are dependent off of these almost like a bare essential to live. But..if we all did, all 99% of us started a movement, a spiritual journey let's say..all dance around naked planting potatoes and trading amongst the people..Can't picture that either. So, what can be done? What do you think? Does it matter to you? Would you be willing to make changes, what kind? What do you think about all of this? http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lub42ogI201r25y9yo1_500.jpg

    I was surprised to find so many pms in my in-box this morning thanking me for posting the poem (post #6 above) This is why I find that poem so special. I lost my Uncle Kenneth in WWII who I never met (he's buried in France somewhere and the only family member to visit his grave was my mother when she was stationed in Europe with the Airforce in the early 1950s). I also had another uncle, Austin who lied about his age to get in the Army and was overseas when he was only 15 on the front lines in Italy. Uncle Austin NEVER spoke about the war to anyone including his own wife. However, when he was dying of cancer and coming down to Ottawa for treatment in his last days, I had the rare opportunity of being alone with him for a few minutes and he grabbed my hand and said to me.... You know I had to kill people in the war to protect our freedom. Do you think God will forgive me for that and let me into heaven? Without hesitation or further comment, I replied "of course, you were doing God's work". He seem satisfied with that response and nothing further was said. We sat there in silence, for about two minutes. It was one of the most treasured moments of my life. To this day, whenever I think about, I feel like crying and shivers run down my back. So that poem reminded me of the time he chose to honour me with talking about the war. I told my mother and my aunt later what we had talked about, and they were amazed. He must have made his peace with God because he was gone a few weeks later. Thanks for letting me share.

    Before I head out for the ceremonies at the War Memorial this morning, I found this video on the Canadian Forces You Tube page...their loss will never be forgotten.

    The whole Occupyregina movement is a joke. In the beginning I had been part of the planning stages but had to bow out because it was basically a bunch of people who couldn't stop arguing amongst eachother and didn't have jobs. If I would have said to my boss hey I'm taking an indefinite amount of time of to go camping in the park he would have said well have fun with that don't worry about ever coming back. How about occupy a job? My bank doesn't take good intentions as payment on loans. Every hipster kid I see out there wearing Dolce and Gabbana black framed glasses, in tents mommy and daddy bought, using government provided wi fi on their ipads literally makes me so mad I could Probably get away with justifiable homicide. Its a good idea, there should have been a better cohesive plan or ideology behind it... But what it is now is basically a joke. All I can comment on is what is going on in regina, I don't know what the movement is like in other places, who knows maybe it will do some good. Posted via Mobile Device

    I actually make a difference between fuck buddies and friend with benefits. fuck buddy...well we only fuck. They call me when they are horny and I call them when I am horny (okay I am lying we text!) and we happen to be want to have sex at the moment...bam! :D and that is our only communication. and the random like on the facebook status. friends with benefits as I describe in my earlier post...we actually do hang out like "normal" friends, go out for foods and drink, play videos games together but the extra is that we hump:D and on side note...once I was with the said friend, having a beer, playing world of Warcraft on my laptop and I had sex doggy style. at the same time:D which was full of win:D

    I reaaaaaallly love having music playing while doing the deed. Doesn't matter what kind of music......well.....I might have problems with country and polka lol...but almost any music will do. When visiting a SP whatever music turns her on will do. When hosting a lady at my place I have a playlist, aptly titled "dirty", which I enjoy. But it's starting to get a little repetitive and I'm looking to switch it up a bit so looking for a few suggestions. Anyone else have a similar playlist or preferred songs that they like to get naughty to? In the spirit of sharing, my "dirty" playlist is as follows: 1)Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap - AC/DC 2) 3)Cruel - Tori Amos 4) 5) 6)Trash - Alice Cooper 7) 8 ) 9) 10)Tattooed Dancer-Ozzy Osbourne 11)Squealer-AC/DC 12) 13) 14) 15) 16)Hallowed Be My Name-My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult (can't find any link online for it) 17) 18 )Touch Too Much-AC/DC 19) 20)I'm Eighteen-Lorin Richards (again, can't find any link online) Looking forward to hearing your suggestions! :)

    Fabulous thread and it should lead to some spirited debates and differing points of view. Looking forward to it. No system is perfect and it wasn't that long ago that a great many in world celebrated the tearing down of the Berlin wall as the symbolic of the end "communism" as we knew it. I used " " around the world communism as it certainly wasn't the system of Karl Marx. It's not only CEO's of multinationals that can be perceived as greedy. One can take a ride through most suburbs in most NA cities and see how greed or want has ballooned to unsustainable and unrealistic proportions. 2-3,000 and more sq foot houses with 2-3 car garages and all of them filled to max with newest and best disposable items. On one hand I could rage against untold consumerism but I don't. Most households require two incomes to feed the need.. I just chose to live my life differently. I live in an 865 sq foot house which is smaller than most apartments. No kids. We grow food that sustains us for 5 or so months of the year. There is one car, it is a Lexus but it's a 1997 Lexus purchased when it was 8 years old. The household income is well in excess of 6 figures and I could easily afford to live that life style. I chose not to simply because I don't want to be bound to something I don't want to do. To me it comes down to personal choices and personal responsibility. I see no point in the occupy protests. If they are really serious...they'd go occupy the first nations communities that continue not to have access to potable water. Peace MG

    Just because an SP doesn't have an online review or recommendation doesn't mean she doens't provide quality service. It could simply mean either she wants to maintain discretion or no one has wanted to be the first to put something. I have very little out there by way of recos but it is intentional for personal reasons. I think if you can't find anything negative online about her it means she is probably what she seems, a woman making a living in the most discreet way possible... cat

    I would hope this lady was compensated for her time, as her actions had nothing to do with your decision to "bail". Kim

    My grooming choices are purely based on my personal preference. The % of clientele who prefer otherwise has absolutely no bearing on my decision, nor should it in my opinion. What makes me feel sexy/comfortable is the only factor in my decision. These polls/threads (of which there have been a few) tend to give the impression that a woman could be swayed to change her "style"... Needless to say, I don't think that will ever happen. But good luck! Kimberly
