I recently had to do the most difficult thing of my entire life and was curious to know what is the most difficult thing others have had to do? My son as many know, has followed in my footsteps and joined the Royal Navy. In the fall he was informed that sometime in the New Year, he would be shipping off to the Persian Gulf. As someone who has served in war zones more times than I can count, being based on a modern warship is generally a pretty safe place to be. Yes accidents can happen, but it is certainly much better than being on the ground. Despite this, the whole scenario has been weighing heavily on my mind for some time. There is no reason for me to feel this way, the ship's Captain is a very good friend of mine and one of the best in the Royal Navy, but I find myself very stressed out! About two weeks ago, the day came for him to ship out. I quietly flew home to see him off. It was a very odd situation for me. Usually when I see troops off, it's really no big deal. I know the risks, but I also know the odds of something happening. Yet, the day came and I must admit that I chained smoked like a fiend!!!! My son's mother and I had a long conversation the night before about it. She was clearly looking to me for strength given the circumstances. Outwardly I was strong for her, yet inside I just felt like crawling in a hole. As they were boarding the ship, I was allowed on board to say goodbye in private with my son. Rank does have it's privilege at times. Once on board, I pulled my son aside to give him some words of wisdom. He quietly thanked me for my advice, and then that moment came to finally say goodbye for the next 6 months. We kind of looked at each other awkwardly for a couple of seconds...then a huge hug! I made sure to tell him to take care, and remember...his father loves him and always will. I noticed some of the other junior officers were watching, I told my son if they give him hard time about it let them know senior officers do have a heart, and care more about others than they use to. If they keep bugging him, I told him to use my line..."eat shit and die!"....HAHAHAHA!!!! Always have to laugh. I now find myself constantly checking my e-mail for an update from him, wondering how he is doing. I've been on edge ever since that day and probably will be for the next 6 months, but being British means you will most likely see war more than once in your lifetime and everyone from there knows that. It defines who we are. I want to know what is the most difficult thing you've ever had to do? I know to this point in my almost 41 years on this earth, this was the most difficult for me.

saying goodbye to my father on his last moments on earth.......i still feel to this day telling him i loved him.......and that he meant the world to me......and thank you for being my father........well....it never.......really felt like it was enough........ i miss you Pop.......

Sometimes the most difficult things we have to do are for the best. We don't want to do them but we know we have to. My example is calling the ambulance for my son who was experiencing psychosis...for years i had tried to get him help but finally the day came when i just had to call the ambulance knowing full well he would most likely have to stay in the hospital for a bit. He had refused to see docs here in Montreal. This was the only way i could get him help. Now he's home and back to himself..it's a wonderful thing. He's happy again and even thanked me. It was difficult to make the call because i wasn't sure if he would ever forgive me but now seeing him smile is the best thing ever.

Just looked at calender at work and realized it is 21 months since I took any vacation days....perhaps it is time for a freakin holiday :)

It's okay... we have a bromance... heheheheheheh... love the guy in a very hetero way.... everytime I see Areez he buys me many beers... that's the kind of brotherly love we are talking about

OD, how does it make you feel to be called baby by Areez? Do you like the fact that you make him RRoooAArr like a pussy cat? I wonder what else is on his mind lol

I realized that life as we know it at this moment may be very different tomorrow.... we should enjoy every moment!!!

I was browsing announcements at CERB and an annoucement from a Montreal agency caught my eye. It says Jennifer was about 5'2'' and 36C natural. Hmmm, sounds about right, methinks. I went to their website and look at her profile. There is no review at CERB and I decided to take a chance. I PMd the agency and requested an hour with Jennifer. After exchanging emails and text messages, I was set to meet her. It was a freezing day and I was hesitant at first but finally committed to seeing her. She was located in a upscale downtown hotel right down my alley. I was not expecting much frankly and non-chalantly knock on the door. She opened the door, greet me warmly and let me in. When I saw her, I was truly shocked, as in SHOCKED!!! My jaws dropped and my faithful sidekick promptly stood up. I wasn't nervous before but I am truly nervous now. It feels like I stumbled on a suite of Hugh Hefner and seen one of his girlfriends. She was one of the most beautiful women I have seen in person. Although they don't look a like, she reminds me of a young Phoebe Cates (with the smile that launch a billion posters) or an Elisha Cuthbert (when she's still playing Kim of 24). She has their magnetic appeal that will melt your heart. A real sweet, girl next door type, beauty; not the statuesque super model look of a Heidi Klum. She is petite but her body straddles the sweet spot between a spinner and voluptous. Perhaps sensing my confusion, she got my bag and led me to her suite. I was dressed for an Artic expedition, so it took a while to shed my gear. I said I need a hot shower and afterwards we sat on the bed. She was wearing a sexy lingerie. Her skin feels like silk to the touch, with no tats or piercings on sight. She's a non-smoker and she smells divine. We started touching and she loves to kiss. I wasn't much a kisser but this is the second time I engaged in a DFK. Before long, I was trying to peel off her lower lip. I will skip the intimate details but I just like to mention that she has one of the most beautiful pair of breasts I have ever seen, on par with Jasmine Thai. As I was a breast man, I feel like I am in heaven. It was one of the most intense and delicious experience I ever had. It takes a lot of effort to hold back the inevitable, but when it was over, we engage in small talk. I discover that she was a very good conversationalist! We talked about cities here in Canada we have been to. This is her first visit here in Ottawa and I ask her to come back. I was surprised that I am the only one for the day! I encourage her to come back to Ottawa and she promised that she will. I almost never repeat on an SP (the exception was Jasmine Thai) but she is a definite repeat; I'm looking forward to her next visit. The hour flew past and it is time for me to go. I said my goodbyes and wish her well. She kissed me warmly. She will celebrate her birthday in a few days and I wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! To say I was smitten was an understatement. So next time Jennifer comes to town, don't walk, but run to her door. And you might find bliss here on earth

I won't share much....but I can tell you what song was playing.....: :)

The older I get I find myself having less and less patience for non sense and stupidities...

Well a couple of things actually First, a few years ago my father, who lived in the Maritimes, had a stroke. Hospitalized both he and his wife tried to minimize things, and asked my brother and me not to come out. Well the not knowing made things tough for us. We finally decided, about a day later to drive out...we didn't know what to expect, but expected the worst...wasn't as bad as expected but not good. Second, my nephew, born premature, given six months to live. To hear a baby isn't even going to make it to one year old is heartbreaking. Fortunately, the doctors got it wrong, they made that call eight years ago, and this past Christmas got to buy Christmas presents for my nephew Third. Mom seems philosophical about this. But I had to go with her to a End of Life Seminar, discussing things like DNR's, power of attorney etc. Got a sister in law eyeing things when Mom dies :-( so I've got power of attorney...hate when people treat the death of someone as a chance to get property and money And last, when my cat died on my lap...had him for eleven years, went from Sunday, playing like a kitten, to first couple days just tired, then Thursday lying down in the bathroom, peeing, and lying in his own urine, and Friday night, died on my lap. It was like losing a member of the family RG

My mother laying in acoma was very very difficult for 8 weeks. I had to be strong when I was in the room with her. She was on breathing life support, and would notice that when I talked, or sang to her, her breathing would be from her and not the machine. It was amazing experience for the both of us, as she actually would respond to me and seems to recall me being there. She claims she can remember the songs I sang to her. it was so hard to see her so venerable and week. Laying there as her body was disappearing before my eyes. Luck she pulled through, and is stronger now. The other time was having to leave a dog behind at SPCA....It still hurts to this day when I think of her, watching me as I walked away. I will never forgive myself for having to do that!

when i first read this i laughed, and then nest time. then i started thinking about it.since my wife passed away i have been living in the past. thinking no one will ever be like her. how do i know, i have not given anyone the chance. time to get into the present then maybe there will be a future. thanks for putting that out there.

The other day I was speaking with a CERB friend and I said that at that moment I certainly did not feel like a mrrnice and that the name was not too accurate a representation of me sometimes. She suggested the following. mrridontgiveaf**kaboutnonsmokersandiamgoingtosmokeinmyownhouseanyway It made me laugh like I have not laughed in a while. The reason that she suggested that alternate name is probably self-explanatory! So - if you were going to change your name here for a day, what would it be and why?

So I decided to TOFFT once again. Got home from work this afternoon in a pretty bad mood once again, been like this since I got back to Canada, and thought I should get rid of some of this stress somehow! Now what better way than to do a bit of shagging!!! ;) I wasn't really getting anywhere to solve the situation, so I thought I would take a look on a couple of sites to see what was happening. Noticed an ad that said, "Mary, NEW 22". So I checked it out. The pics were clearly taken at home, and not the best, but you can clearly see what a spectacular body she has from them!!! The ad said to text, so I did. I wasn't sure about how the conversation was really going, but got the answer back I was looking for and decided to book an hour. When I got to the hotel door, I was stunned as to how good looking this woman is. What a bombshell!!!! She's about my height, 5'7 long lean legs with short blonde hair. Beautiful crystal blue eyes, and rock hard body!!! We started a conversation and I could tell she was nervous, told her not to worry it wasn't exactly my first time!!! LOL That's when she told me it was her first night working as an SP, and I was her first ever client!!! No worries, I kind of took things over at that point. I know a little bit about this game and made her feel at ease. This woman loves to kiss, and can she ever kiss!!! Delicious!!! She is very much a safe GFE, but totally worth it. Lots of energy and did Mary get right in to it!!! Very responsive and playful. It's always YMMV, I don't like to over set expectations, but I will repeat for sure! Happy I could be your first ever client Mary...look forward to next time!!!! MUAH

Well this is a tough one but there have been 3 major and life changing moments for me that I still loose my breath over when I think of them.The first was going to my nephews funeral,he was only 6 months old when he died,I'll never forget looking at him in his little coffin,he looked like a little doll.But the hardest thing was watching my brother cry and listening to my sister in law scream for her baby,that is something you just don't get over.The second was when I had to put my precious little dog to sleep,before her time,she had kidney disease and withered away in a matter of months.I never thought I would get through the following days ,weeks and months,but I then found out my fathers cancer was teriminal and had to be strong for him.You cannot measure one hardship against another,they are all traumatic and life changing and yet a part of life,and life goes on even if you don't want it to .The best we can do is to live better for the sake of our loved ones and learn from them and cherish their memories.

Holden Magroine seems about right :) Peace MG

Dutigaf.......meaning Do You Think I Give A F*#k. However, being a nice guy in real life, this name would be in a red, glass-covered case..to be used only in case of emergency.

EASY.... Trixie Firecracker A name that is the complete opposite of Emily. (dont get me wrong I enjoy being sweet Emily) but some days having a name that means dont mess with me would be fun....Plus the upside is the chances of someone having the same name as you are rare....

Hey... some Old Dogs have learned new tricks!

Reading this thread makes a song pop into my head...... Look at this stuff! isnt it neat? wouldnt you think my collection's complete? haha!

Well just so you arent classed as a hoarder RG .... My suggestion is ...... give the tackle to Cat.... rod to Old Dog...reels to OD....lures to OD...line to OD etc..etc..etc...(Ottawa is a big city ;) ) Remove the bikini top and bottom and keep those cause that isnt hoarding.....and quite simply Keep The Girl !!!!! :) Hip waders your call RG ....

How can you say that, here's an artists (well cartoonists) impression of me this summer LOL My cat, on the other hand, is completely opposed to the idea of me in a speedo RG :-)

A serious read that might resonate with some of us. Warning: it gets emotional. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/01/22/1057341/-F**k-Joe-Paterno-(Final-Important-Update,-please-read-3) Sent from my BlackBerry 9780 using Tapatalk

I'm bald, and proud of it LOL RG :-)

Is the cat turned on by the ear licking?

Looks like the twitter feed plug in also puts a cool live twitter stream on your profile as well. See Alexandra-Sky's profile here for example. http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/member.php?do=getinfo&u=39777

I agree, Lee. Both outstanding in every way. I seriously miss Erotic Emily, and hope she returns to us soon. She's much beloved on here. Her presence lights up the board. Wishing her a very happy and fulfilling New Year, love and success.

There are two young ladies from the East Coast that I really really miss here on Cerb right now who have wonderful, fun and witty personalities and brought so much to this community. Penelope and Carley Chase :) ....... both of whom I plan to meet in 2012 come hell or high water !! ;)
