Whenever I read these threads, i always try to put myself in clients point of view. Honestly, if it were the other way around, I probably wouldn't want want to see a lady who doesn't respect herself enough to keep herself safe. With no screening methods, she clearly doesn't have enough common sense to protect herself as she lets anyone into her zone, really how safe could i feel spending time with her? If she has such clear disregard for her safety in that manner, in what other areas is she this careless too? Not to be dark here, and I know this is depressing to talk about but if I can clarify, at least from my perspective, why we screen. As sex workers, people murder us, plain and simple. Because of the stigma put out by society; that what we do is morally wrong, and therefore, we do not deserve the same respect as any other human being. Some men, like Robert Pickton, think its OK to hurt us. Our profession has one of the highest risks of death and/or serious injury. Our assault rates, next to nurses is the highest in the country, and the number #1 cause of death in this line of work is murder. If you look up statistics, the numbers for abuses against us are staggering. We, like police or fireman, blindly and selflessly put our lives on the line to serve the public for the greater good. I know when I see my client, the time we spend together is beneficial to him in some way shape or form, i make him happy and he likes to spend time with me. I cherish the thought that I am adored by these amazing gents who spend their very hard earned money to visit with me, talk to me about their lives and share their inner most fantasies, thoughts, hopes, dreams, fears and day to day lives with me. Whatever the reason, they gain something from their visit with me that is why they come, and I am flattered everyday by these wonderful people. That being said, there is alot of crazies out there, who do not treat us in the same manner. They have issues with whatever, and for some reason use us as an outlet for that rage. I know whenever someone walks through my door , I like a cop or fireman, am taking the risk of potentially being hurt or potentially losing my life. I do not know the risk of the situation, this person could be crazy, drunk, high, upset, angry etc. In my short time in this industry, I have delt with a few, and had a few close calls that scared the crap out of me, if it had gone left instead of right, I wouldn't be sitting here typing this now. Every incident was when I worked for an agency in another city, but I digress..... Because i value my safety, the safety of my clients, and the safety of my place of business, I do not just let any random person into my space with zero accountability. Every gent that has seen me has gone through my screening process, and provided me a number. Some one who told me a long time ago "those who cannot trust cannot be trusted". If you are wary of providing me a number, in my head, that tells me you do not want me to have any information about yourself. If you do not want me to have any information, and want to remain anonymous, you want to able to do something to me without any accountability, much like why a bankrobber wears a mask when he robs the bank. When you do not want to provide me with number, I think you have ulterior motives. As an sp, you talk to other sps, and in my short time in this industry, I have heard many a horror story of ladies accepting blocked calls and it having detrimental sides effects to her. Please don't think we do not get assaulted, beaten robbed etc, it happens more than you think. Every major city has a police line for us to call for "bad dates". If assaults on us never occurred do you think the police would spend all that money to have these specialty phone lines and units dedicated to crimes against sex workers? I am not trying to be a downer here, nor am I a trying to be on a soap box, I realize you gents have lives to protect and could be a little concerned with giving information. However, you are not the ones taking the risk of physical harm to yourself. We are women we are not as strong as a man, that why so many of us fall victim, we are in a vulnerable situation. You would not expect a police officer to walk into a dangerous situation without a gun, nor a fireman into a fire without protective gear. Is it really fair to expect us to see you with no protective means? We screen so that in some degree, you are not anonymous, so in the case you do assault us, we can report that to the police and protect other ladies from a predator. Knowledge is power. That's it, plain and simple, the only reason we want your info is to keep ourselves and others like us safe, and obvious practical reasons, like calling if there's an emergency en route and we need to cancel. Honestly, I have regulars I've been seeing for years that I still don't recognize their number when they call ( i must start programming them lolz) I honestly don't care what their number is. Some guys think we save all these numbers and were going to call you or something. I would never call my clients, I have no reason to. We are professionals, not "citizen" women; if you give us a number, after you are intimate with us we are not going to fall head over heels in love with you and start calling you all the time. We have our own lives and no reason to interact with you outside of the contact you initiate. I have never called a client unless i was asked to, period, that makes no sense to me, as well as most of the other ladies here. Sorry for the long rambling, this is not meant to be offensive or preachy,please dont take it as such, just meant to shed some light for you gents so you can understand an sp's perspective :)

Years ago, this would have been a problem but now that there are vast numbers of cell providers offering pay as you go plans for a low all inclusive rate every month, there is an alternative now. I agree with others. If an SP doesn't answer blocked calls, you can get a throw away phone and your name will not show up when you call someone. I think if you want to meet the SP halfway where discretion and trust is concern, get a throw away phone and keep it in a safe place if you are married or have a gf. You get to keep your privacy and the SP feels her requirements are met. Having a throw way phone is not a guarantee that the Sp will be safe or not have a no show client but what if a client calls from a blocked number or payphone and a situation arises that the client is late or the SP has to cancel for some reason. She can't call him back. This happened with an SP I work with and the client calling from a payphone got lost when he was 3 minutes away from her place. 25 minutes later, she thinks he is a no show and books someone who happened to see her before and was in the area. The second client got there quickly and lo and behold the first guy finally finds her location and rings the doorbell while she is in session with the second client. She told the first guy he was late and she was seeing someone else. It's not her fault because he put her in a situation where she had to make a quick decision. Why should she wait around for someone who may not be coming? She is running a business and time is money. Even though he insisted on booking by payphone and she took a chance with this because she went with her intuition, it didn't work out. I personally don't book through blocked calls and payphones and feel if a guy wants to see me, he will have cell phone. I don't like giving out the address and I certainly won't give it to someone who may feel like he is trying to be too secret agent. If I feel someone has something to hide, what else are they going to do? SPs and clients have their ways of how to go about doing things but I think they have to meet each other half way and everyone is satisfied. If a guy hobbys regularily and doesn't want to get a cell phone then that's their problem but it makes sense to get one if they will use it more than once.

In all the years of that I have indulged in the hobby I have never had an issue with using any phone that has displayed a number including cell phones. I understand the need for a call back number. Discretion is the key here, it goes a long way to understanding "Blocked Calls" The Service Provider is trying to run a business based on appointments. The only way to keep the business running smoothly is to be able to confirm appointments, provide locations and in the event of a serious problem, delay or cancel them. I consider this a legitimate need for a contact number, land line or cell phone or otherwise. Most members of CERB seem to seek out information on Providers before taking the plunge and booking the appointment and even in some circumstances will have gone through a Pre Screening. By then one should have a pretty good rapport with the Provider and an understanding of the need for a number that can be called. I have no issues with "Blocked Calls" Any type of a Business that is based on Services has a legitimate need for contact phone numbers. Why should the Business that the Providers are running be any different. Try booking an emergency after hours call to a heating technician without a call back number... Rodehard

I still consider myself new at this hobby, and for the most part have confined my activity to an SP that I see regularly, who doesn't reside in Toronto. However, I recently decided to indulge myself by seeing one of the many beautiful ladies that reside in our wonderful city of Toronto. I have been looking for a lady who provides GFE with a hint of PSE, and decided to visit Alanna Johnson, since she seemed to provide that level of service, and based on reviews of her, she seemed to be one who can quickly calm the nerves of a relative newbie such as myself. Booking her was easy via email, she responded in a timely manner, and helped in the selection of our outcall location in downtown TO. We corresponded back and forth during the week prior to our appointed time.....she is very easy to communicate with. She arrived on time at my hotel, and had her 'fun bag' with her.....those who have seen her, know she comes quite prepared for a fun night of activities. Since I had booked several hours with her, we took the time to get acquainted over some wine I brought, and all the time we were kissing and getting to know each other...... Then off she went, and came out of the washroom in one of her sexy outfits, similar to the ones she has pictures of on her site......without going into a lot of details, there was plenty of passion...DFK, BBBJ, DATY, digits.....multiple positions, and MSOG. In between, we drank more wine, and she made me feel at home the whole time we were together.....her hygiene was impeccable. As many have stated she is full of energy and aims to please, she is very responsive, doesn't hesitate to ask what you want, or to tell you, actually make that she 'insists' on how you please her..... She is not a spinner, and as many have said has a cute and very sexy J-Lo type of body..... I really enjoyed my time, and will definitely repeat..... http://www.erostoronto.com/files/161455.htm

(posting on Cerb that is) It was in a question thread - Do SP's go Gaga over Clients? My post... I don't even remember making that post it was so long ago but the sentiment still rings true.

I like Backrubman because he is a true gentleman, a good friend and has wonderful insights

Waking up on the last day of April to a snowstorm. Porthos

I have one of those disclaimers on my website. I've had a few men contact me because they really did want company, but not sex, and said that, to them, the disclaimer meant that they could just ask me for a date, period, without me expecting to have or provide sexual contact. That was fine with me. I went to a company picnic, a wedding and a convention dinner party. All very nice evenings. No sex.

I just opened an expensive bottle of Amaretto that I bought in Mexico two years ago . I just think tonight is the night becasue I am such a good girl I deserve it!!

I am really happy that the ladies commented in this thread too. Their point of view is very valid and greatly appreciated. I can now see the reasoning behind the importance of a call back number. Possibly the one comment "you are just not "that important" for me to want to screw around with privacy or ruin your life by me having your number. I don't even care if your name is Tom, Dick or Harry, but a number - yes, that's all I ask for is a callback number" was a bit extreme and a tad offensive. The ladies are important to us and we do really care about them. That is why I asked the original question so I could understand their point of view about blocked calls. Thanks everyone for your comments and feedback. ;-)

A brothel or bawdy house can also be a hotel room that the companion has rented in which she sees two or more different clients. Many of us have done this at various times and most of the touring ladies do it regularly. Large, 4 and 5-star hotels either don't pay attention or don't care as long as there are no complaints from hotel staff or other guests. People take hotel rooms all the time to have illicit sex, after all. As for whether things would be better if it's all legal, well, sure. I don't think this is an area of private life that needs heavy regulation by federal or municipal authorities. I'll bet that most of us will continue to work much as we are now, only without any worry that some malicious person may out us to our landlords or the neighbourhood. Until the SCC makes its decision, low-key, independent ladies like me won't be prosecuted for operating bawdy houses, but we can still be charged and that's not a small matter at all! If I were charged with operating a bawdy house, I wouldn't be held in jail or anything, but everything I own would be impounded and my bank accounts would be frozen, all deemed to be the proceeds of crime until proven otherwise. I think this is extremely unlikely, however. I'd have to be causing a significant disturbance in the neighbourhood before the police would step in and it would have to be a major problem before the Crown would lay a charge which might have to be dropped entirely in a couple of years. To be honest, I don't think changes in the bawdy house laws will affect my business one iota. I've asked everyone I've seen for the last month whether they would go to a licensed, publicly-recognizable establishment to see me or anyone else. Not one of them has expressed any interest because they have concerns about their privacy. They don't want to run into anyone or have anyone other than their paid companion know who they are. Fair enough, I think. While it's true that my way of working is illegal, in that I work from my home, in all other respects I work legally. I declare all my earnings and pay taxes accordingly. I work quietly and have never had a problem with anyone because of noise, late hours or parking. I recognize that some anxious folks want to be able to identify every prostitute in the city and ensure that we have periodic health checks, etc. I don't think that will happen. We are notoriously difficult to manage and most of us won't conform to laws that we believe are not in our best interests. Besides, if the general population had any idea how many women work in this industry, part-time, full-time or on an occasional basis, I think they'd be scandalized!

I planted a very special flower given to me by a very special friend.

I think they would have a hard time proving that it is only for non-sexual companionship. But reality is at the end of the day, they don't have to prove anything. They simply flag the name, and turn her away at the border. They don't have to let anyone in, and if she decides to contest it, how is she going to prove she is not a sex worker? And why would she go to that trouble and exposure, knowing that she is one, and if they wanted to it would be fairly easy to find reviews on her services as well.

In addition to the reasons given by Luxie and Angela, and others, there is a very practical reason for sps to require #s from their clients and potential clients. For myself, I remember numbers. When someone has called me 5 times, never booked, I know when they call #6. I can now ask them what is it that draws them to my ad, over and over, but never book. We can have a conversation about it, or they hang up and stop bothering me. When someone has seen me at least 3 times, I recognize the # and who will be showing up at the door. It's just good customer service to be able to see the #, and say hello to the person you know, how are you, and you know you appreciate it when the lady you repeat with knows who you are when you call. With a block #, or payphone caller, that isn't always possible. (it is sometimes possible, I do see a few people via block # or payphones, it is not an issue for me, but when two guys named 'jonny' both use block phones, and one is the guy who shows up and the other is the guy who books and no shows, then yes, block #s are damn annoying and used by time wasters, and there is no way to screen between one block and another block.) Scheduling is also affected. One day I had 3 blocked # callers all call to ask about appts in the near future, two of them actually made appts, to call when in the area (the appts at different times). After their ETAs came and went, I finally got a blocked# caller checking if I can see him now. Thinking he was one of the other 2 appts, later than he'd planned to be, checking in to see if it is ok to come by now, I give it to him no problem. But it turns out, he wasn't any of the previous callers, he was a 4th person, and the call he had just made was the first one he'd made to me that day. However, he showed up, and after a bit of confusion on everyone's part, the appt went fine. So if you insist on using block # to set up an appt, you can expect that the sp will encounter just as much confusion when out of the blue some other guy who is nearby calls her up on his own block #, she thinks it is you, and when you do show up, she isn't answering her phone.

Actually it's not a review board, it's a recommendation board As for the question, it is really subjective, not objective, as what is best to one guy may not be the best to another guy RG

In this lifestyle there is a balance between your privacy versus the ladies safety and security. Really, on the balance of things, a cell phone is very minor. And as much as a lot of men may think their privacy is of paramount importance, it truly is the ladies that take much more risks, be it with their safety to no shows, well at least until they at least get to know, and like you. A lot of ladies mitigate that risk somewhat by requiring verification, which means in addition to providing a contact phone number and email, not to mention confirming board handle through pm, you provide your real, yes real name and a reference My experience, when you are open with a lady providing this amount of information, they don't abuse it...they are very appreciative that you provided it and it goes a long, long way to establishing trust, even before you meet in person. If you are reluctant to just provide a cell phone number, I can see it raising warning flags to the lady. If you have trust concerns about providing a lady just a cell phone number, maybe she isn't a lady you should see in the first place. And from the lady's perspective, if you don't trust her with any information, be it just a phone number right up to full verification information, why would you expect her to trust you to be alone with intimately? A morning rambling RG

Yup.. toys rock. I'm particularly partial to my Magic Wand.. vroom vroom!!

I'll try to give you an example. It might not be the best one (most likely not) but it's the only thing I can come up with right now... Let's say you've decided to treat yourself to a night out and go for supper. Your choice for this evening is a casual restaurant offering this able d'hote: 7 layer chip dip served with grilled naan bread Home made chili with sprinkles of cheese on top Home made dessert A 7 layer dip is made with 7 different ingredients. Now, if the restaurant decides to make a dip composed of 2 ingredients with 7 layers I'll be disappointed. Even more so if it comes with regular nacho chips instead of the grilled bread... Not what I was expecting. If the chili turns out to be vegetarian instead of using ground beef I'll also be disappointed as it was not what was advertised (the word vegetarian was omitted). If the dessert was bought through a supplier instead of being homemade I'll be even more disappointed and at this point I don't care what type of music is playing in the background or how many candles are burning and how nice my waiter was. My point? Don't mislead your (potential) clients... If you are SAFE GFE (covered bj only) then say so. If you don't kiss also say so because most gentlemen love this part of the experience and sometimes more than anything else. Vegetarian chili can be very tasty and quite good but not when you are craving a chili with meat in it. It's just not the same!

I am Porthos ... a musketeer at heart. I'm a father, husband, son, and try to be what others expect me to be. I feel my responsibilities deeply, and love those around me with great passion and commitment. I have a great capacity to love. I'm hard working, generally good natured, funny and outgoing. I do have a temper, which can be explosive. But like a storm in Newfoundland, it passes quickly and is soon forgotten. It also rarely surfaces and I work hard to keep it that way. I don't like conflict, avoid it whenever possible, but I'm not afraid of it either. I love women. Everything about them. Their smell, their taste, the feel of their skin, the curve of their bodies. That's why I hobby.

I am for the first time really in love! I am proud of who I have become, as I had a very hard life, whereas many others would crumble into pieces, it has made me stronger:) I love being an SP, cause I truly love making people feel good about themselves!! Thanks for this thread, I feel good!

In the wake of the new Ontario laws regarding drivers, security, accountants, incall locations & other services now legal to perform for escorts, I, & a great number of my colleagues, have been inundated with offers to perform them & from complete strangers. E-mails, phone calls, texts. Men have gone so far as to join sites to solicit us their " help " with these tasks. NO man wants us to reach out whenever we please to ask if they want to see us therefore the same rule applies to this invasive new phenomena. If we want you, we will find you. What exactly do you think we did a month ago to run our businesses problem free? Put our money under our mattresses? Go to a call, not screen, with no back up? Show up at a friends home to borrow their bed? Beam ourselves to appointments? No. We also did not blatantly, desperately, unprofessionally harass the gentlemen who honour us with their time, kindness, hard earned money to garner business. Some of us have become quite successful by smart marketing & forging lasting relationships built on, and I can not stress this enough, trust & mutually respectful boundaries. There are women all over Canada who have worked for up to 20 years without violence, legal or logistical stumbling blocks & did so quite well long before any Supreme Court decision. So to those who feel they are now doing us a favour, conveniently after the risk factor has been removed, please hear this: I have a financial adviser, I keep receipts OCD style. I have a lawyer, I am aware of what I can & can not do under the Criminal Code. I have a photographer & am happy with my pictures. I have a website, I advertise for myself & need no help with writing or presentation. I have an incall with a person I have actually met. I have a driver for outcalls when I travel further than is possible by cab. I screen well, have a safety person & an incredible relationship with VPD. I have a boyfriend, seriously, & even if I didn't, I have the money for a vibrator. Most importantly, my brain is not pushing a triple digit I.Q., it's pulling it on a trailer hitch. So get an advertising account, post your services & if I am interested, exactly the same as when a gentleman wants to visit me, I am perfectly capable of reaching out. Until then, please stop pestering me & escorts everywhere. Sandi

Like gravity, karma is so basic we often don't even notice it. (Sakyong Mipham) People are entangled in the enjoyment of fine clothes, but gold and silver are only dust. They acquire beautiful horses and elephants, and ornate carriages of many kinds. They think of nothing else, and they forget all their relatives. They ignore their Creator; without the Name, they are impure. (Sri Guru Granth Sahib) The life I touch for good or ill will touch another life, and that in turn another, until who knows where the trembling stops or in what far place my touch will be felt. (Frederick Buechner) The person who is basically evil by nature will always be averse to virtuous deeds. He is always engaged in bad karma. (Sri Guru Granth Sahib) You can't put a price tag on love, but you can on all its accessories. You can't buy Love. Mother's love is peace. It need not be acquired, it need to be deserved. The successful revolutionary is a statesman, the unsuccessful one a criminal. ( Erich Fromm) When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself. A mind at peace, a mind centered and not focused on harming others, is stronger than any physical force in the universe. ( Wayne Dyer) .

I learn about it in the news one day. The places where they might accommodate travellers can most commonly be affected and perhaps some appartement building complex. The exterminator is usually called right away. For those who might have this problem, here are some other way and natural remedies to get rid of these tenacious intruders. It is said to be efficient and not that costly. Some people can report infested hotels and buildings in the internet in dedicated website. Rubbing Alcohol: While not a definite fix, spraying rubbing alcohol where bed bugs thrive may contain the problem by killing some on contact. Fruit and vegetable Insecticides: Some insecticides comprised of pyrethrins and canola oil are sometimes used by those who wish to lay down a home remedy that is safe for children and pets. Steam Treatments: It is not uncommon to see some pest control companies use steam treatments to deal with mattresses and other pieces of upholstered furniture. While very limited effectiveness is associated with this type of remedy, it shows great promise in treating items with less than ½ inch of penetration. At home, one may use small steam cleaners to care for their mattresses and other bedding selections. Dry Heat: Placing clothing, footwear, rugs, toys, stuffed animals, backpacks and other non-launderable items in the dryer for a certain length of time can conveniently remove bed bugs. When an average clothes dryer is run for five minutes at low, medium or high heat, they generate temperatures of about 140, 150 and 180 degrees (respectively). It is believed that when drying a bundle of infected clothes, high temperatures are able to kill bed bugs. It is suggested to run the dryer for more than 20 minutes. Hot Sun: Since temperatures over 113 degrees are said to kill bed bugs, it is suggested to wash and dry clothing and linens at high temperatures. When living in a hot desert climate, you may hang your bedding and clothes in the beaming sun to destroy lingering bed bugs. Bed bugs don't like sunshine light. They prefer darkness. Boric Acid: It is suggested to spread boric acid powder about the places where bed bugs choose to frequent, feed, and hide. This natural cure should never come in direct contact with a mattress or box spring. This remedy is often used to control the migration of bed bugs in a home. Clean your car: While you're treating the problem indoors, don't forget your car. Vacuum your car thoroughly and treat it with an herbal preparation or insecticide. You should treat your handbag and coats with an herbal spray to make them less attractive to bed bug freeloaders when you're out in public. Bed bugs aren't just hanging out in hotels. They're in restaurants, department store dressing rooms, movie theaters, busses and anywhere else people spend time. The more you can do to make yourself unattractive to them, the less likely it is that you'll inadvertently bring a few of these insect invaders home. Black Walnut: The National Park Service suggests that using the leaf teas consisting of black walnut provide an astringent effect, as well as serves as a decent insecticide against bed bugs. Herbal Approaches: There is a range of natural cures that people have used to treat their bed bug problem with varying degrees of success. A few suggestions is to try include spraying lavender, thyme, *tea tree, *neem (oil or infused leaf), henna powder or oil, rosemary and eucalyptus on bed linens, clothes and in other locations where people sleep in the house. Using these herbal sprays will help repel bed bugs. You can try lemon juice or apple vinegar as well. Add 20 drops of lavender essential oil to the final rinse when you wash your sheets, blankets and nightwear. Placing lavender flower buds in a sachet bag under your mattress and pillow will help too. You can also add lavender flower bud sachets to your luggage to discourage bed bugs when you travel.

I'm Annie! I'm a hedonist who believes in indulging in decadence whenever possible, whether it be food, drink, art, or more carnal delights ;) I love art of all kinds, especially classical music and dance. I'm a full-time student who loves to learn. I don't go a day without learning something new! It was so difficult for me to chose my major in university... as an example, I toyed with thoughts of engineering, physics (with the intention to go into cosmology or astrophysics!), anthropology, French.. the list goes on! I want to go everywhere and learn everything that I can while I'm here on this pale blue dot (and that's a Carl Sagan reference - my favorite author/scientist!) I am a huge sexual education advocate and hope to one day do something like Dan Savage does.. I think that everyone should be able to discuss sex frankly and I would love to give advice (which I often do for friends now!) I am also a huge geek - in my living room I have a NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, and PS3. I love reading fantasy novels from Tolkien to Robert Jordan, and the 90's is my favorite era for bad television and cheesy pop music. I am at heart very mellow - it's only my crazy schedule that stresses me out :)

I am mrrnice2 and as corny and silly as that name is, I at least like to think that it is representative of me. I was born a Maritimer, brought up in the suburbs of Montreal and have lived back in the Maritimes for almost all of my years after graduating from high school. I do have a couple of degrees behind me. I could never have been a professional student as I found that my real education was found by experiencing my work, and not from text books or classroom debates and discussions. I am a retired educator and for the most part I thoroughly enjoyed what I did. I retired when I did because of changes in the education system that I fundamentally disagree with and as I told the Superintendent, " If I had wanted to be a social worker I would have gone to social worker school." I tend to speak what I see as my truth rather than follow the politically correct expectation. I am usually a very positive person but the last couple of years have challenged me with that. I am making a comeback. I have never lost my sense of idealism. I believe in the genuine goodness of people. I was formerly a nationally ranked athlete and that led to the one regret that I have in my life - choosing not to go to a pro football training camp after being drafted. I am a father, an uncle, a friend to many and close friend to few. I relate with women far better than I do men. I have my private pilots licence but due to a silly medical rule I am no longer allowed to pilot a plane. I hate heights but never had an issue when flying with the door open. I would never ever parachute from a plane. I am a thinker and analyzer and questioner, especially of myself, and am correctly and properly told that "I think too much." I am not a risk taker. I am very shy but can cope well enough when I have to. Yet I love being the center of attention in certain situations - I love speaking in front of large groups and did an annual comic review in a work setting. I get very frustrated with bureaucracy and government. I love to drive and would think nothing of getting in the car in the morning and driving for 18 hours, day after day, but I am very nervous of any foreign travel opportunities. I really like to try to help others, though individually rather than as a volunteer for organizations. I enjoy trout fishing in the spring. Just me and my bobber and silence and if I get a bite or a nice trout then that is a bonus. I would rather be outdoors than indoors from April until November. I love gardening and my passion has moved from the vegetable garden to the perennials, and especially my lily beds and daylily beds. I love the Montreal Canadiens and am feeling rather down about the upcoming playoff season. I LOVE Christmas and detest Hallowe'en. I love cooking but rarely if ever bake anything. If I were to go back to school to start again it would be to a culinary school to become a chef. I have learned a great deal about myself from my participation in CERB and have valued this community for what it has given me. In many ways it may have given me my life back.

You are right it is happening frequently in Quebec for some reasons I don't know why. There are probably some reasons out there. I understand the shame you have and some men might have for the actions of some other men, but it is up to every women to carefully choose their own circle. Usually there are lots of forerunner signs. Anything subtle. I suggest to anyone in similar situation to talk with friends, family and possibly cops. oldblueeyes don't feel so ashame there are a lot of nice men out there and you are probably one of them.

The only problem in booking with Cupid's is deciding which of their women you want to see first. :) This time it was relatively easy, as Amber looks outstanding in her pics, exactly what I like. And she is. She arrives five minutes early, sparing me that grueling last few minutes of "the wait". She's dressed elegantly, and presents herself as assured, poised and mature for her age, and incredibly attractive. You can see how fit she is in her form-hugging skirt. She has a warm and engaging smile, and good conversational skills. We can't talk long though, as I have to sample her. Off come her clothes, and she's an amazing hardbody with nicely defined abs and beautiful c-cup natural breasts. And the ass....it inspires worship. And worship I did. She's responsive and eager, and eager to please, and just keeps going. I was struck by the contrast between how firm her abs and her bum are, and how soft her breasts felt. I loved running my hands along her gorgeous body, and feeling the sensations. Kissing, tenderness, intimacy, laughter, pleasure. Amber, you are outstanding! I'm glad we met, and hope we meet again soon.

I used Cupid's several times in 2009 and 2010. Not this year only because I spent much less time in Toronto. They're outstanding, that's all I can say. Contact was easy to arrange. I saw Blair and Scarlett, both amazing (and both redheads :)). They were well presented, punctual, into it. And beautiful. Seriously beautiful. There are more on Cupid's list I'd love to meet. Hoping in 2012....

i recommend Cupids. However, I only used them once when visiting Toronto in 2010. I chose them as my first "AGENCY" experience. Worked out very well. I phoned them from my hotel asking for the lady of my choice from the web site (three hours notice). She arrived on time and her pictures proved to be accurate. I had booked two hours but asked to extend to three when the time flew by so fast. All it took was a call and a check in with her driver. Bottom line...I would use them again without hesitation. Have fun and let us know how it works out.

Some guys told me they tell to wife or gf that they are going to take a beer at a bar or they work overtime. Some other told me they wait for the wife or gf to be asleep at night and sneak out the door to meet people or to see a sex provider. I know one guy he tells her he is going for a short trip out of town for few days. He leaves with a suitcase to go to his friend's place (when the friend is not there) or hotel still in the same city where he lives with her and he sees a friend or a provider many times for 2 or 3 days. I guess these are pretty good excuses or tricks.

Yes passionflower could help, but also Camomile, valerian, hops, kava or lemon balm in capsule or tea infusion. You can also look for a complete formula in capsule or tea mixed with many different herbs in that purpose at the health store. It is not recommended to take some of these herbs if you have liver, prostate issue or are taking drugs that affect the liver or prostate. Some men drink beer or alcool before they go to bed. It is said to be helpful. It's not recommended to combine herbs and alcool together.

1. Working a total of 34 hours over mother's day weekend 2. Not even getting a thank you from the owner for working all those hours 3. Clopens (closing shift one night, opening shift the very next morning) 4. Running into someone who knows your name and is really glad to see you, but you only have the vaguest of recollections of meeting them and trying not to let on to that fact. 5. Having your date show up to your place completely wasted before the night's even started.

1) Getting to the airport excited to leave freezing Manitoba for Mexico only to be snowed in for two days. 2) Getting to Mexico and then getting sick for first two days. 3) I am with Cathy on the empty toilet paper roll...that does suck ! 4) Going on a 40 dollar cab ride in NYC and then discover you forgot your wallet. 5) It sucks that after a loooong winter that spring has been mostly raining here. 6) Bruins beating the Flyers
