Your Mileage May Vary So basically it doesn't matter if you drive a VW Bug or a Porsche. Make sure it is always clean and through the car wash just before having a lady passenger. Make sure you wash all those hard to reach spots and the nooks and crannies ;) Make sure everything is in tip top shape and have a routine checkup. Always have good tires so you don't have to be a tire kicker. When you decide a little extra rub down and pampering is needed...don't negotiate the price... really decreases mileage...sometimes to 0 mpg It is better to have a quiet engine and not one with headers and dual exhaust that is loud and noisy. Muscle cars don't typically get the best mileage. Remember the bigger motors can get good mileage but more often the motor size doesn't matter....it is how good of a driver you are :) When you are changing the oil....always always wear a rubber glove Most likely when you drive away you will be smiling and waving at everyone ! Well I do :) And for God's sakes....Do not backfire when you have a lady passenger

Talked to Old Dog this morning and he sounded pretty chipper. He is awaiting tests on Monday to determine what's next. I am sure he will be very grateful for the outpouring of well wishes on this thread. Now he just has to get better so he can get back home and be able to log on to read them!!

Thanks to everyone for all of the lovely thoughts and well wishes... I really appreciate it. I got home today and MUST say that my CERB buddies made my life so much easier when I was in the hospital. At least one person from this community dropped by EVERY day that I was in - sometimes there were quite a few in at the same time!!! You only get one shot at this life - cherish every moment and live each day to the fullest!!! Love to all of you!!! Paul

I'll be attending the social - it will be my first one ever....I am a social virgin :icon_redface:...now that's not a word I get to use often ;)

Gin and tonic if I'm drinking, otherwise root beer! Or a delicious chocolate milkshake.

I support itty bitties titties. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAJroAaf3ZY

Heavy torrential rains for 24 hours plus, the edge of Hurricane Leslie yet to come and my basement is flooded. I waded through water well over my ankles. I got my sump pump up and running this morning but lots of my leftover winters wood is floating down there. I guess though that is a good thing about a century old Island farm house with a clay basement floor. It will dry out!

Visiting Old Dog in the hospital and noticing the big change in him since the last time I saw him. He has colour back in his face!

I chose November after a character in the book Palimpsest by Catherynne M. Valente. Palimpsest is a sexualy transmitted city that you can only visit in your dreams and November was a woman who traveled there after she started sleeping with strangers. It's a story about loveing your self and others at the same time. http://www.catherynnemvalente.com/novels/palimpsest/

Like literally two hours ago, and it was great! As of this morning, I was a 26 year old virgin. I never felt ashamed or unaccomplished being a virgin, I had reached this point as a choice. But I was not confident with intimacy, most if not all girls I've met have been pretty sexual or have a sexual past which always intimidated me (I never saw them lower, but felt a bit in awe). I avoided relationships because I was worried about the physical intimacy part, I was going to fall flat on my face. And I created this mind block. I noticed a few threads on this forum about guys who are virgins looking for an SP, but there was no mention if they went through with it, and if they did, how they felt about it. So I thought I'd share for anyone who are in the same shoes I once was. In a nutshell, I loved the experience, and I have no regrets. I got in touch with Peachy a week ago, and explained that I was a virgin, and that was something I wanted to change. She was incredibly thoughtful, and put me at ease with asking her to take me to the other side so to speak. I was nervous, actually, I was anxious for her to come. I booked 3 hours, and I asked her to stay an hour longer once she was here (I was having a great time and didn't want to rush it). So my reasons for doing what I did. 1) I'm more confident with safety when it comes to the women here then the general public. If anyone knows about safety, these ladies do. This was my number one priority always (even before I came up with this idea) 2) I wanted a positive non-judgemental environment (at least in my mind). I didn't want to think and over think everything I did, and with her, I was more then comfortable. I was able to explore, try out stuff that I wouldn't have done with maybe a girl I was dating. 3) I was confident in asking her how I could be better. And I took everything she said constructively, and it was a lot better then I imagined! 4) Confidence! I met this girl a couple of months ago that seemed to be very interested. Back then, the old me kept things between us friendly but non-sexual. I think given the situation now, I'd act much differently. My confidence in this department took a massive beating the last couple of years for reasons too long and boring to share here. I feel as if one evening took all of that self doubt away. Downsides? I don't feel as if there were any. I don't feel any regret, or remorse or anything of that sort. I was hoping when I asked Peachy was that she be someone awesome (I've read some stories here about people having soso dates). Peachy was AMAZING in that she was so understanding about my fears, and newness. I bring this up because I found her through going through pages and pages of reviews. There are some awesome women here, but I found one with very complimentary reviews, and it worked for me. Which I guess leads on to my next part. Would I recommend a virgin meet an SP? To each their own. I wrote down a list of reasons why this would be a good idea vs a list of why this was bad. My bad side of the list had some religious objections, but then the good side had religious support for getting help any way possible (my confidence was shot). There are some that say that this experience should be with someone special. And I think that applies for some people for sure, but I treated this as a learning/therapeutic visit more then anything else. The rate I was going, I was not going to be able to meet that someone special ever. Recommendations: 1) Take your time, read reviews, talk to who you are interested in 2) Take your time, don't book just 1 hour. For the first two hours, we took it slow, talked a lot, and made it more intimate. 3) Figure out your reasons. I was brand new at this, and I think if this is your first time, trying to go into this to fulfil a fantasy might be putting too much pressure on you and her. Just explore the sensation, explore your body (I discovered things about my body I was pleasantly surprised about). 4) Tell her you're a virgin! And that's when you first get in touch with her, not when you meet. I can't think of anything else. This being a recommendation board, this is mine :)

I'm really very fortunate to have made a number of good friends through CERB, and I think I'm not unique. I know of a number of situations where client and provider have unselfishly helped one another under difficult situations. I'm a bit anxious today as I'm going in for eye surgery tomorrow, and had been told that I wouldn't be allowed to leave unless I had someone there to see that I got home safely. This is a bit difficult as I'm a widower and live alone, my kids have long since left the nest. When I mentioned it to one of the service providers here, she graciously agreed to accompany me. As luck would have it I've been able to find someone a little closer to home, but none the less it shows that this lady has a big heart. I think we should award a gold star now and then for good deeds. So, I'd like to give Angela of Ottawa a gold star for being there for me.

relax you guys. i know lots of sp's real name and they know mine. If they want to tell you their name they will. i havn't had any problems with that ever. they don't start coming around making trouble for me. they are professional. I did kinda have feelings for a few of them from time to time but gave my head a shake and said "PJ you know better, You just don't go there". Not at my age anyways, lol.

Something for the reco section?!

Good luck to you tomorrow Boomer with the eye surgery and kudos to Angela for helping you out as well. Having met Angela socially, and having seen and heard how she seems to be the big supporter and helper for so many of the women of Cerb, I am not in the least surprised that she has offered to help you out in this way. Yet another example of what a fine community of people that this is.

My favourite cocktail is a grasshopper. green creme de menthe, white creme de cacao and milk. Shaken over ice and strained into a frothy chocolaty mint delight lol. Recently for my non alcoholic drink of choice has been diet A&W rootbeer. its quite tasty :)

I support implants. Making boobs big as they can be now that's one righteous pursuit!

Well, you're on my List. But I'm not going to tell you which one! ;) :milleunenuit:

Im on the List right? :icon_biggrin: With conditional decline? :icon_frown:

http://winnipeg.ctvnews.ca/study-finds-organic-foods-not-much-healthier-than-non-organic-counterparts-1.942443 It was in the news last week that organic is not much healthier. If you wanna dig deeper, i recommend Michael Pollan's "The Omnivore's Dilemma", a great book that takes a serious look at food and food production. In it you find that (real) organic farming is not very sustainable, is very labor intensive, and should be local by definition.

Do I actually need to states the reason why I like Lee? I swear if I don't meet you sometime...;):D

I like Luckyme for his pleasant posting, friendly, fun, helpful and he has a pretty cool sense of humor.

Well I got my pay as you go cell phone paid for this month. And changed the plan to add email to the phone service. Set it up on my phone, shows it as part of my plan (billed for) yet the email won't activate on my phone. Yup, paying for it, not getting it. So I go to Virgin Mobile store last week to see if they could help. Girl there totally useless and rude. More concerned with chatting it up with some guy she was attracted to (no he definitely wasn't a customer) I was told by Virgin that a store could set it up for me. All this girl did was hand me a phone and dialed customer service Then the women from customer service talking me through the set up didn't know what she was doing. Kept telling me to try this, and that and the other. Took so long I started off with a fully charged phone and by the time I left the battery ran down. But it really didn't matter, "customer service," that's a joke name btw, hung up on me, and I still don't have email So not too happy with my cell phone provider right now, and at one time they used to give good customer service RG

Time to seperate fantasy from fact here. "SP" stands for "service provider". Most Sps nowadays have model like bodies. (Most of the ones I see anyway). It's every guy's dream to fall in love with such a a woman. But come on.. if an SP provides "GFE", or "girlfriend experience", it's just that. That's why we pay them.... for the fantasy. It's like.... the sexy cashier at Safeway smiles at you as she hands you the receipt.... she's told by management to do so. Don't take it any further and show respect and restraint. Otherwise it borders on stalking if you take it further than that.

Receiving a Reiki treatmemt instead of giving one. A rare and wonderful treat! :icon_smile:

Emily is a refreshing addition to this board.

I won't be so naive as to think that these shows are not somewhat manipulated, I wouldn't go so far as to say rigged but for sure everything is not random. The last HoH that Ian won wasn't just memory, you had to have some agility to manipulate the ball into the right slot. Same as the previous POV he won, it required brains and SOME agility. Honestly I think if you look at all previous seasons the competitions are less athletic type competitions towards the end of the season, I could be wrong. Danielle17 the only thing I will say is in Survivor all-stars is that they did target previous winners when voting to get rid of castaways. IMO the only person who can beat Dan is Ian and after tonight's episode it looks like Ian is drinking the Dan kool aid which makes me sick. Tonight's Pandora's box was fun, it reminded me how much I can't stand Rachel :). On the other side of Pandora's box. Shane's sister is HOT!! Danielle's sister is as annoying as Danielle. Jhena, did you notice that Dan's wife was wearing a red t-shirt :)

You have brought up a great point, CH. General health is the most critical issue in my opinion. To me this may not be a case of ymmv. If a SP sees an open sore or cut, or that a client is sniffling or coughing, I am sure she would call it off, ie., no service. I am sure most people know about this and that may be why this "Health" issue has never been brought up when ymmv is being discussed. My 2 cent worth.

Shane won the POV. This would be Ian's perfect chance to nail Dan, but I don't think he'll do it. Dan has talked Ian into a final two and he's fallen for it, bait, line, and sinker. Dan is actually trying to get Danielle to talk to Ian, to get him to put her up because she knows she won't go home. Looks like Jenn City is going home this week. I think you guys are crazy if you think Dan won't beat anybody in the final two. I think he'd beat anyone except maybe Ian. I think Shane, Danielle, and Jenn have done nothing this season.

Question was for ladies but I am surprised no one mentioned general health!!! For me when I see any signs of sickness like sore, wart, pimple (sometimes even as a result of shaving but I ask what they are) I back off. I am sure this must be a factor when a lady decides on the services mentioned by OP (especially bare services like BBBJ). Of course hygiene and attitudes are important too but those were mentioned already.

Well a few celebrity ladies... Catherine Bell (JAG) Mariska Hargitay (Law & Order SVU) Kathryn Erbe (Law & Order CI) Julianna Margulies (The Good Wife) Shania Twain Halle Berry Just a few...but I haven't been "visiting" as much since embarking on this lifestyle :-) RG

It's a periodic table... Also I am pretty sure the bench is unstable.

The problem today too is that the highest numbers of stds are found in the 14-20 year age group. They are doing as your nephew is doing, not using condoms, then they simply pass it around. Someone may only do bjs, but with chlamydia they've passed it to someone who has sex with another, and so on and so on. And they don't get tested, because that would be an admission to parents and the family doctor they are having sex. By the time he catches something that has uncomfortable symptoms, he might get a wake up call. The other wakeup call is pregnancy of course.

I think of it as a good way to get busted by one's SO if she does not approve of the visits. But it sure does smell purdy :icon_smile:

All that dabbling, that's why he's called 'Vlad the Impaler'.

I think there is a real difference between what ifs and regrets. I have very few regrets in my life. I'm happy with where I am, love my family, am proud of my children. I certainly had many forks in the road. Some of those would have led to more money than I make now, and occasionally it gives you pause to ask what if. But generally I think it's far better to live within the moment, especially if you are reasonably happy. No life is perfect, and the bumps along the way are what makes the journey interesting. If you're not happy in your journey, however, one should always try to find the courage to try a different path.

Thanks babe, I guess I don't make the cut here as I am not eye candy or young enough!!! :icon_smile::icon_smile::icon_smile:

Hi sach, Yes to both questions. I think the most important part of any relationship is honesty and communication and as long as the people involved are open about what they are up too it's all good. I wouldn't want to be involved with someone who looked down on me because of the work I choose.

I threw up in my mouth reading this post. Sure, what guy wouldn't want to pay for a mediocre, lacklustre performance? Of course she could be great, just not with you. The wording here is truly disturbing. Not only putting it out there that the more they pay, the more they can do whatever they want to her but can because she just does as told. There is now way she is into this. This has procurement & coercion written ALL over it. Like Backrubman, I feel the best outcome would be that the authorities are reading this. Then we'll see how he likes being pimped out to the highest bidder in Millhaven. I hear they also " pay more " for newbies to " take direction ". Now excuse me, please, while I go delouse. Sandi

Someone threw a birthday party for me today. :) Very thoughtful of them.

same. I love James Deen! Lily Labeau as well... I had wet dreams included Orlando Bloom. Mila Kunis

I'm a professional environmentalist and a semi-professional cannabisalist.. :) Peace MG

Cause back in the day, this was my hair do (hmm, I guess it's still kinda the same lol) and all my friends called me Meg. I added the "forfun" cause I am, well, fun!

Well I don't think I correctly articulated my mood swings. Once I booked a lady as I had to do the hardest thing ever the next day, I had to fire people I knew. While some deserved it, others were blameless but they were loosing their jobs also do to the reckless actions of a few. Sometimes we have have to do things we don't want to do and the purpose of the encounter was distraction as opposed to meaningless sex. I guess given my mood, the meaningless sex didn't occur but no complaints from the lady, we had a wonderful time and I will see her again. Other times a nice meal with a beautiful distraction (and no talk of business) is just what the Doctor ordered. While it does occur, I think meaningless sex means less to me than most clients? And I don't mean to diminish what the ladies are willing to do by calling it meaningless but it is a fantasy and sometimes I'm in the mood for reality and sometimes the intimacy comes naturally and seems more like a real experience than a fantasy. The ladies are pretty good at knowing what you need and delivering it. Even when it is just simple companionship.

To me YMMV means that all services are at the ladies discretion, and therefore dependent on the sorts of things already mentioned: good hygiene, good manners, gentlemanly conduct all result in a good session, while the opposite will adversely affect the level of service. The wild card, of course is chemistry. With the best, most professional SPs, I find that if hygiene and manners are in place you can generally expect a fairly consistent and good / great level of service. Chemistry can push that to great / exceptional. In general, I haven't found looks to be a great factor in determining the service I receive.

Personally, I think that some sps use this in their ads so that they can advertise the more popular services, but there is always a reason why no one gets them. I think it would be simpler to just not offer the services they don't want to do, but I get that not advertising these popular things might reduce calls. I don't think it should be necessary that an sp include it in her ads or on her site (if she has the etiquette page she can actually explain her conditions regarding hygiene). I do think it can be used in recos. A good client will recognize that while he had a great time, not everyone might, and using the ymmv about services received, or his experience, would be a good idea to caution the readers to not assume their experience will be exactly the same.

Early grey tea, a light roast or flavoured coffee, or Mighty Leaf's tropical green tea (which I just found out is being sold in my grocery store, hooray!). For alcohol, I like wine, gin+tonic, or whiskey.

I must confess I wasn't thinking about coffee as a drink, but rather more like something necessary for existence.
