In April I found out that I have cancer and the prognosis was not good. I had known for a while that something was wrong, but being the person I am, I just shrugged it off as being over 40 and not a big deal. Clearly it was. Instead of dealing with the issue at hand and informing those I care about and love, I decided to keep things to myself. When I finally started to tell those people depression and anger had set in to my heart. It had become obvious to those around me that I was no longer myself, the positive attitude and sense of humour were gone. I was trying to push those I love and care about away so I could be left alone. I was a fool! After telling my father of the situation, he realized that darkness and despair had filled my heart. He flew over here on Friday to spend a solid couple of days with me. Knowing this I thought it was time to tell him everything about my life since I left home at 18 and joined the Royal Navy. He has always been a pillar of strength in my life, there to listen and never judge. I am sure there are things that I told him over the last couple of days that he never wanted to hear, but he never wavered and just listened. This morning as I told the last of what I wished to tell him, he put that gigantic paw of his on my shoulder, looked me in the eyes and said..."get your goddamn head out of your bleeping ass"!!!! He's right!!! After more words of wisdom from my father, I realize now that it is time to enter the fight. I want to say I am sorry to those I care about and love, I should have been stronger from the start and told you the situation. That was my mistake. Thanks to my father I have my positive attitude back and sense of humour. I do not want anyone's sympathy, for it is an emotion that commandos have little value in. What I want is for people to smile and laugh, that is what gives me strength and always has. Though there will be times where I will obviously not be around while I deal with certain things, those of you who I am in contact with and consider to be my friends will know the situation and where I am. I will not keep you in the dark any longer. Now to leave this on a funny note. ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DdeLUA0Fms http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLpO-OvJU74 Spud271

For me, I don't use recommendations in making a decision to see a lady. Recommendations are but one way to help a potential client decide on who to see. I do respect that recommendations are used by some gentlemen, so yes, I do write them (when deserved of course ;-) ). So in that sense, I do give back to the CERB community, well at least I hope I do. Recommendations for me are first and foremost a public thank you to the lady for a wonderful encounter. Second and third reason sort of related. Second is to help the lady build her business by hopefully getting new clients. Third is letting gentlemen know of a wonderful companion to see. That said, for me, I don't use recommendations to chose who to see. I use a lady's posts on CERB, email correspondence and pm's to get an idea if we will click. Recommendations are a tool, one tool available on CERB to help a potential client decide who to see. But CERB also has the board, and pm's, other potential tools available as well. So for me at least I didn't come to CERB to read recommendations, but CERB offers other potential tools which aid in deciding who to see, whether intended for that purpose or not. So yes, CERB is a escort recommendation board, yes, no argument...but it is more than just a escort recommendation board and our reasons for being here may differ. CERB offers different things to different members, it isn't a one size fits all board, if that makes sense. But CERB is only as good as the contributions of it's members A rambling RG

No. I'm really not. So there, we've established that much. I originally found the board when simply looking for ads. I spent some time reading recommendations, but they never really influenced my decisions. My tastes and interests are my own, and eclectic, so I rely on my own instincts and impressions when choosing who to see. You could delete every single recommendation from CERB, and it would not change the board's value to me in the slightest. They have nothing at all to do with why I spend time here, or how I choose my companions; in fact I don't think I've read even one in the last year. When it comes to choosing a companion, I'm much more interested in providers' ads and profiles, and often something intriguing about their participation in the many fascinating threads here. So, having established that recommendations are a trivial feature of CERB for me, here's what I *do* get from the board: information about SPs in several forms, from the providers themselves really interesting discussions about sexuality and the sex-work industry different viewpoints about the industry and the experiences that come with it a fascinating community of interesting people with at least one shared interest, but other than that an incredibly diverse group with wide-ranging discussions that often have nothing at all to do with sex or its industry. On the other hand, I recognize that the recommendations are a big draw for at least some clients who come here (but far from all, as we can see from the poll), and have value for those providers who benefit from them. So I'm glad for those folks. But gee whiz Pete... you've got to recognize that no matter what the board may call itself in its banner, or what those who run or old-time regulars may imagine CERB to be, or have been... others can legitimately value different things from this place. It's cool that you value the recommendations so much. But there's no basis for faulting those who never read them and really don't care about them at all. It's not necessary, or reasonable, to expect that we'd all be "here for the same thing". Plainly your interests are not my interests; the things you value aren't the things I value. But so what? As long as CERB's core business of ads and traffic chugs along, we can each take what we need from this place, and leave others to find value their own way.

I havent read all the replies so if I'm repeating anything forgive me, but I like to have recommendations to refer a new potential client to... I'm not exactly the best at self promotion or talking myself up so if a wary or nervous potential client asks me something seemingly silly (but valid i guess) like "well what kind of experience can I expect?" or "what sets you apart from the other ladies?"...i can give my two cents but its easier to say "Dont take my word for it.....check out my 11 pages of reviews from some very satisfied customers". Hehe ;)

There is a certain romance about melancholy on a day like today. The kind of day that rings with an undertone of mystery and the unknown future. Is it pathetic fallacy of the weather forecast? Or is it found in the stars? What is the driving force behind days like this? I am familiar with this feeling and vibe in autumn, but today I can feel it to my inner core. Yet, I love these days, a melancholic romance that some may mistake for boredom. For a moment you look outside, you see mountainous clouds forming, winds blowing, cooler temperature sweeps in and you ask yourself " is summer over?" It gives us a chance to reflect inward. Can you find comfort in being alone? Are you always search for entertainment and activity? Or are you able to sit quietly and listen to the voice of the winds, the ocean, or the hummmm of the city? Perhaps this is more of a monologue? But I want to hear what instills moments of introspection and reflection for you? Is it seasonal? Can you find romantic connection to your surroundings all by yourself? You may be asking " romance by yourself...???" But like the great romantic poets, or the Hemingway, Joyce and Tom Roberts of our days, they portray a certain romance in anything. Romance of a city, a storm or just being able to relish the quietude we experience on day like today? This day, I sit in reflection and look out my window. I smell the amazing sweet air, ominous clouds that are forming, and just love the feeling that the world that is so much bigger than I. I am humbled by the wonders of our globe...the 3rd rock from the sun. And I am just little me:)

One of the things I love about this board and other places like it is it is dynamic and in a constant state of evolution. What may have started out as a recommendation board has grown into a community based on its members. The threads, comments, polls, chats, ads etc. all add value to the board making it more than it started out as. As has been said, there is so much value here that every member has the ability to meet their needs in whatever way they choose. reading reco's, reading ads or posts, links to websites, twitters, blogs etc. There is no right or wrong way and THAT is the beauty here. To each their own and because of the community we have built, there really IS that much variety. So, while I do it individually as I can, I want to thank everyone who participates because it is that key point that allows everyone here to get whatever they want from the site.

Semi - Short reply Pete. The three things in red at the top there....although I didn't say those things on this thread or ever intended to...... they most certainly ALL apply to me. I write them and now have fun doing so even if they are retarded..... but I rarely rarely read one unless it pops up on the Cerb homepage. I understand the concept of CERB.....I realize I am no doubt a minority for not using recco's.....but we all are different and have our own reasons and method of madness for being here and to meet ladies we want to meet. I like to read what the ladies type all by themselves ! Whether it be an ad, a post on an informative thread or on a fun thread. This tells me their personality which is huge if you ever want to have a connection with anyone IMO :) Just sayin...... my opinion but I suppose I am not your average bear anyways ;)

Wishing you all the best in what may be the most important battle to date. Being that my significant other was diagnosed in march with cancer I know that you have a long road ahead of you as we do. I can tell you do not hesitate to rely on friends and family for support for there will be times you need it. You will find that the professional medical people whom will guide you through this journey of hell truly remarkable. The cancer centre in the Civic and it's staff are second to none. Best of luck and kick ass.

Cheers to you handsome, may you have many more battles in your future and look upon this one as just one more you've conquered. I will not try to blow roses or smoke up your ass, that kinky stuff will cost you a good deal more (sorry no pity discounts for you!) and I am sure this will be a struggle but from all that I have gleaned of you over the years I am sure you will find the strength to face this head on. Whatever the prognosis you have been given I do hope you realise there are always some that beat those odds and a good many people are on your side to support you and be sure you are one of those people. Take care of yourself first and post to us when you need it, want to or just feel like blowing off some steam.

To paraphrase Christopher Walken-don't just fight it, kick its ass!

Thanks everyone! I promise there will be many many many more "cum-covered" posts! :D

Just wanted to welcome Angela back to the board. She's been a fixture here for many years, over 8000 posts and put a lot of time helping organize the Ottawa socials.

There have been lots of new members of late but that doesn't mean there'll be lots of new reco's. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. Yes Cerbs intended purpose is to allow gentlemen to post their recos on their ladies, that purpose is to let others know that recoed lady was real, gives good service and could be relied on, that "he" liked her, so you may. There are many men who like that process and rely on it. But there are even more imo that don't. They come to this board because of its reputation of hosting legit members, both hobbyists and sp's, for its content, pictures, profiles, forum. For them all other aspects are their deciding factors and you'll never get them to write a reco, never, its not their style, but they still want and appreciate a site like cerb for all its other points. I don't think anyones legitimacy, value or quality of service should be judged by their recos, especially the amounts of recos or recos alone as some get them, they attract the men that write them and others don't. I think its more important to choose a lady based on your attraction to her posts, pics, and personal discussions, your emails/phone conversations between the 2 of you, wouldn't that say more? After all just because I like vanilla doesn't mean you will, however if you do then my perception of it may be helpful, its for you to decide:) The nice thing is here you have that choice:)

Emily or AKA deeperconnection here on CERB and occasionally on BP. I don't think the PSE experience is quite on her menu, but what is on there will make you forget about it.

All I can say is that I am pissed with myself for not booking with Mandy66 earlier! Just amazing!

You are a playful, energetic and straight forward person who contributes on a variety of threads in your own special way. Your party stories are not to be missed and you definitely liven up chat. Your posts are entertaining, thought provoking and definitely to be discussed. Looking forward to the next 500. Thanks for making the community vibrant!

Thank you for sharing and may this be the last battle you'll have to fight. Wishing you only the best.

Having the prices listed is pretty important. Reality being what it is, I'm not rich and cannot see ladies as often as I'd like. Some rates are just too much for my budget. Having to ask create this awkward situation where she'll feel insulted if you don't book. As for services, not really necessary, but always helpful. Specially if one provides only GFE or PSE, or out of the ordinary services. Hard or unusual limits should be mentioned. I always search to see if the lady allows kissing and DATY, as they are my favorite activities.

Great post! I just changed my profile to registered members only. It just gives me a bit more peace of mind that only signed up members can see me now.

I know you'll fight hard, I'll be thinking of you as you battle this enemy! Stay in touch...

I don't have any problems with a lady checking my profile. Better know before hand if things wouldn't work well. I do find it weird/awkward when an SP have a private profile. Understandable if there is face pics, but if not, it kinda makes it harder to get new customers. Specialy when you have to friend just to know where she works, what she looks like and link to her personal page... For the album of guys, first time I hear it. Anyone know why? If they fallow the same rules as the ladies, I don't see what would be the problem.

The ability to enjoy those moments that cause us to reflect upon life and ourselves is a frightening experience for some. I too sit beside a window and listen to the low rumbling of thunder and hear the gentle sound of the rain coming down. I appreciate days like this because I can just sit and relax and not feel guilty about what I should get done next. My favorite time of day is just after the sun has set and world is in a state between light and dark, there are no shadows, only the muted colors of the world as it exists in the moment of time that separates day from night, life from death. It is moments like that, where we must learn to accept ourselves and our insignificance in this world, and wait for the sun to arise bringing back life to the world and a new day to live.

All the best to you, spud! You are a fighter.

Although every situation is different, some of us have fought Cancer and survived (at least so far). It will be tough (and I think you are a very tough individual) but don't give in. And don't give up hope. I wish you the very best on this journey - it is a long and winding road.

Ohhh My dear friend, You have an awesome sprit and I know you have a lot of fight in you! You have a big impact on many people in our community, you have showed strength to us in many ways, and I do not doubt for a second that you get all the support back! I am happy your father was there for you, and from what I read, the apple didn't fall far from the tree! This is too big to handle by yourself, and we all stand here for you! You would do the same for any of us! Love you!! I will see you soon! xoxoxo

I checked her pics on tin eye and they came up clean. I thought that they would. Most of these Quebec girls that show up on BP don't leave you with a good experience. I have tried a few of them and according to the rules of this board I can't say anything more.

Thanks, everyone. It's great to be back!

Midnite- Massage is the hottest woman I have ever encountered. This Maritime Muse takes my mind places it has never been, but most willingly wants to go!

olderguy is sweet and caring and erotic and lusty not to mention playful and fun.....deadly combination!

I see a lot of guys here are going for the politically correct answer....but if I'm going to be honest....typically, yeah, the explicit ad headers will catch my eye more. And I'll be more likely to click on those. But that's me. I'm really into dirty talk so those types of ads are a turn on for me. And my not-so-subconscious "perv eye" will automatically gravitate towards certain "dirty" words. That being said, I won't book with an SP just based on the ad though. I'm really picky when it comes to the ladies I spend time with. I check numerous recommendations/reviews (both here and on "other" sites). I also check other posts by the lady on a variety of topics to try and get a good idea of her personality and see if we would mesh well or not. Also will check her website (if she has one) to see what kind of services she provides. Just because she uses dirty words and terms in her ads doesn't mean she's into the same kinds of services I am. (I have a penchant for the dirtier "PSE" types of encounters). All that being said, I can literally count on one hand the number of times a year I usually see a SP. And I typically always see the same 2 or 3 SP's. So really....at this point I pretty much just check the other ads more out of boredom or habit than anything else. My long winded way of explaining that yes, the explicit ads may get more views, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the ladies are getting more calls. If you're style of ad is more reserved and discreet, and if that's what you are comfortable with and if that's what is working for you so far....then I say don't change. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. It's completely up to you how you want to portray yourself, and you shouldn't let others' ads or how many views they have influence you in any way. Best thing you can do is try and portray yourself as honestly as possible (as much as you can in this lifestyle anyway lol). Potential clients will pick up on the authenticity of your ad and will respond to that.

I rented Identity Theft. It was panned by the critics and has been given less than stellar reviews here, but I enjoyed it!

Watched Sin City. Had a general idea of what it was about, but wasn't sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised, great movie!!

Hello darlings!!! After a long week and a half, I am finally back at CMJ So this weekend is the perfect time to catch up and have fun! Cum brighten your days and spice up your evenings, all weekend long at the Eastend CMJ location. Can't wait to see you! available until 10pm tonight call 6135236199 or PM me xoxoxox

Congrats on your first 500, looking forward to many more:)

Good work and congrats on reaching 500 post, loved reading them all!

I have to say that Midnite-Massage is one of the great community builders on cerb, always noting people's achievements and recogizing the contributions they make. Thanks, Tracie. I like you :)

This thread should be renamed "Every Point but South".

I do like it when pricing is listed. It is definitely not the only factor in my decisions, but I like to have some idea what I'm getting into before I make contact. Asking her is always an option of course once you have decided you are interested, although choosing not to book after asking that question makes me feel... cheap. (Even if it is not the only reason I have decided not to book with her at this time.) Being able to find out for myself without having to bother her is definitely my preference. As far as a list of services goes, this is not so important to me. One thing I do often look for is whether or not kissing is on the menu. Not a deal breaker, as I can have fun without, but is something that adds to the intimacy and overall experience for me. As for listing other things, I rarely go through the list of acronyms. My needs are pretty simple I guess. I personally always look for a web site to get as much info as I can without having to ask. I read as much as I can so I can decide if I'm interested before I waste her time with questions.

Isn't that the whole point to Greek? Sorry. .. couldn't resist! :-)

I believe my profile is open for all to see. I put up a picture on my page that I can see, but don't know if everyone else can see it. I have to figure out how to put the picture up on the avatar. Any help would be appreciated.

You guys need to wake up and stop outing our identities. Did you ever consider the shit this causes for us. We get preyed on by criminals, pimps and other indies or agencies. This shit prevents us from getting jobs and apartments and shames us out of public places. Give your heads a shake! If we did this to you would you get it then!! you lack discretion big time. how notorious for winnipeg. I speak from experience. You have made this provider very unsafe. Anyone who wastes time out of their day on that hateful, malicious site to read slander that a person can't get removed should get a more positive hobby. That shit gets read by potential employers and landlords and family etc. How would you like being posted on it?!!

I definitely have to second that one. Huge turn on!

Sweety my advice is pick the lady you are interested in.., and ask her directly if she would be ok.. Nothing works best than communication :)
