I thought that i would post this as today was remembrance day. there has been so much in this day and age that i think the meaning sometimes gets lost, to me color of a poppy, thoughts on war, and everything else should not matter, so long as our thoughts are with the families of those who have lost loved ones. so to every one who has lost someone in war, to the people still fighting, and to everyone else no matter who a loved one was lost, you know that our thoughts are with you. Have a great Remembrance Day all. TC

After being on Cerb for over 3 years now. I've met many women from Cerb, of all sizes and races and ages. I've become on-line friends with many of them thou chat and PM's. I've also read most of the threads here and have come to the conclusion that the women that are the most successful and that I have had the best sessions with are women who truly love their work. I've learnt that some of these women started being an SP or MA due to personal circumstances. But have learnt that they actually enjoy doing this type of work and planned on doing it for as long as they can. These women enjoy giving and receiving pleasure and companionship. And as long as you are a gentleman and have good hygiene they welcome with you with open arms. And for the allocated time, they focus their attention on giving you companionship and pleasure. And if the chemistry is there and connection made. a friendship may be form where repeat encounters may occur with each one getting better and better as the comfort level and trust level form between two consenting adults. I have been lucky and have many encounters with kind loving women that I have continued contact with. Like any other job. If you truly love your work, and are good at it, success will come to you. This is a job where you can offer companionship and pleasure to men that are lonely or just lack the physical intimacy that humans need due to unfortunate circumstances. I am truly grateful to have met so many women that love their work and hope to meet many more. It really has changed my life. xoxoxox to all of you.

Laughing at it all in good fun. I am mature AND I have perky titts. So there! :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

It's not a new phenomenon. They've been around almost as long as the red poppies. http://www.ppu.org.uk/whitepoppy/ And unlike the red poppies, they aren't trademarked, so you won't get sued for using them in the "wrong" way http://www.cbc.ca/newsblogs/yourcommunity/2013/10/legion-asks-reddit-to-remove-poppy-over-trademark.html or get told that you are "disrespecting" veterans for wearing it in the "wrong" way I noticed a lot of comments lately about the white poppies, probably due to a ridiculous Sun article recently published. All I have to say to that is... stop reading the goddamn Sun.

This tells you that she values institutions over individuals. She doesn't care what "mere" individuals get up to, but once you mess with a marriage or a family -- NOW she's offended. That's an old-fashioned view of things, in which (for example) a marriage is more important than the two people in it. Similar thinking makes people find a church more important than its parishioners, and loyalty to your country more important than questioning your government. Everyone needs something to believe in and value I guess -- she's picked some handed-down institutions. The structures over the people in them. *shrug* I can never get my head around that, but at least now you've learned something about your friend.

Based on some of the comments, I'm not sure too many people followed Kathryn Bardot's links to the White Poppy history. Following that link lead me to others which resulted in the following letter being sent: Dear Mxxx, Though you couldn't prove it based on the email I've not sent, you and Pxx are often in my mind. In Canada, Veteran's Day is known as Remembrance Day. As with a lot of things here that are done differently than in the US, to me, this makes sense as remembering is sort of the point to it all. A chat site I read had a discussion going on about White Poppies versus Red Poppies. I followed a link from one of the comments to an article which linked me to another site that had "Willie McGee" playing in the background which got me to trying to remember the exact lyrics which took me to another site which took me to YouTube (still following me?) which took me to the song "I Was Only 19". Have you heard of it? Although it was written by an Australian and references the ANZAC troops, memories of some things you've told me came back when I listened to it. If you've not heard it, it is here: And if you've not heard it and you listen to it, you might want to have a good drink near to hand when you do. Something to toast old memories with. All of which got me to thinking... Jesus! We were all so young, such kids then. How we all of us managed to survive our own idiocies long enough to start worrying about arthritis is beyond me. But we did. I'm glad you and Pxx are still here. And thank you for your service, both military and socially since then. Someone needs to tell you that every now and again. Remembrance Day seems an appropriate day to do so. Take care... And I wish to pass along the same thanks to all those others who have served or are serving!

I remember all those whom I've lost under my command, the thousands I've watched loose their lives in The Gulf War, Bosnia 3 times, Croatia twice, Kosovo twice, Afganistan nine times, Iraq twice and Libya. I remember all my friends I've lost in the Afganistan and Iraq wars. They gave everything and asked for nothing in return. It is what soldiers do...we just want to be respected and remembered...we care and protect those who cannot protect themselves...we walk away from those we love, and ask for nothing in return. Remember us and remember those who gave their lives so you and millions of others around the world can be free.

I agree that these forms of relationships have been around forever (Ben Franklin in Paris!); it's just that they're discussed more openly now that the once-immovable conservative lid is lifting off the culture in general,* and sexuality is a large part of that. My impression is that young people on average really are more open about sex, and having sex earlier and without nearly as much guilt or fear as 30 years ago. But that said, even if young people's sexual bell curve has shifted sharply in the "permissive" direction, that still leaves plenty of young people on one trailing end of that curve who still avoid it out of fear, or simply choose to abstain, and those who do have sex earlier but weren't especially keen or ready for it. Also, stuff I read suggests that while casual sex is much more common, it's a kind of porn-ified, detached, indifferent kind of sex; and young people are as confused as ever about integrating sex into their emotional lives, and vice versa. * this was almost: "the once-immovable conservative lid is lifting off the cultural pot, and letting loose the thick, steaming, bubbling and complicated stew of our formerly suppressed or hidden sexuality! And onions." ... But I realized the metaphor was getting away from me.

If you promise to someone you won't do something then do it anyway, that's pretty much the textbook definition of cheating. Especialy true when it's with a religious marriage where you take a public oath to being faithfull. Doing an activity without your spouse is not the same thing as doing an activity you know she doesn't want you to do and lying about it. Monogamy and polygamy are both natural. And both are good (as long as both sex are free to be polygamous). If we check at the animals closer to humans, Gibbons are monogamous, while bonobos are polygamous. The stigma isn't so much about not being monogamous. It's about the lying that some do by pretending to be monogamous, but seeing others in secret. The younger générations are willing to explore with and without their partners.... but usually it must be aggreed by both parties before it happen.

Remember seeing this, dug it up on the web, and there is a lot of truth to it. Seems appropriate to post on Remembrance Day It is the Soldier, not the minister Who has given us freedom of religion. It is the Soldier, not the reporter Who has given us freedom of the press. It is the Soldier, not the poet Who has given us freedom of speech. It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer Who has given us freedom to protest. It is the Soldier, not the lawyer Who has given us the right to a fair trial. It is the Soldier, not the politician Who has given us the right to vote. It is the Soldier who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag, And whose coffin is draped by the flag, Who allows the protester to burn the flag.

That, and not having children. Many people cannot conceive of a life lived without marriage and especially without having kids. Many have never imagined that these things are choices, and treat them instead as unquestionable edicts. And many who will inquire about their absence with an initial air of kindness soon turn to condescension ("Oh, you'll change your mind!" "It's different when its yours!"). Then if you continue to explain your position, they take offense, as though by being secure in your own choices you are denigrating theirs. The world's full of all kinds of people. The most adult thing you can do in life is know yourself, and construct a life in accordance with your own nature. It's often harder than taking the better-traveled road, but I think it's much more rewarding to carve our your own.

Although I enjoy a lot of things sexually there is only one that brings out the true slut in me. When I see all that cock surrounding me it's like someone flipped a switch. I can't get enough. Sucking, fucking, groping.. I just can't get enough! I love being the center of attention as I lose track 0of who is who and it all becomes a blur of tongues and hands and nice hard dicks.

As a single unattached woman I've often heard throughout my single years, why aren't you married, why don't you have a boyfriend. Then comes the other question are you gay, lol. I guess if a girl is single some assume she might be gay?? I never understood that conclusion as gay men and women date, marry and couple. Anyway, it does appear that even today it's expected that we are all supposed to be coupled. Being single seems to leave the impression with some that the single person is somehow lost, not marriage material, incapable of finding a mate?? Whatever happened to choices, and that being single is a chosen position for many:)

It all boils down to choice. I wear the Red as a tribute to those who fell and a sombre celebration of their sacrifice. I choose not to wear the White, not because I disagree with its message, but because I feel it's the wrong day. But I have nothing against anyone who does. I feel the White's campaign is well intentioned, but misguided; a child who means well but hasn't earned the necessary wisdom yet. I don't think the organizers behind intend to show any disrespect to veterans, but I do agree they should consider spreading their message on a different day. I read a quote from one veteran who summed it up perfectly-he may have disagreed with the message, but he respected their right to express it because he fought to make sure they could.

Quiet Remembrance Day evening at Pigales. Managed to see three girls: Mila: tall, 21-year old Croatian spinner. Itty-bitties, almost non-existent titties, still quite the spectacular nips. Long brown hair, down to the middle of her back. White and pale, as CH likes them. Only good for lovers of spinners, otherwise, not much of a body. Very cute girl, moderate mileage in CR, nothing spectacular. Mina: tall, 40-year old MILF, reminds me a bit of Julianne Moore. Large man-made boobs, which are hanging a little low these days. On the outside, she didn't seem like she'd be worth a CR dance, but she was absolutely spectacular in the CR! The older gals know how to treat the guys right! Sienna: medium-height, 5'4", ebony girl originally from the Ivory Coast. Nice body, very nice boobs and booty, as you'd expect from ebony girls. This one grew up in Canada, so there's no accent. Overall, I'd say she had the best overall body, a good mix of everything that most guys like. Facially, she's a GND. Moderate mileage in CR, slightly better than Mila's, no where near Mina's. Today's winner was Mina, as far as I'm concerned.

My Grandfather fought for our Country in two world wars. He joined when he 14 by lying about his age. He was in many battles that were written in our history books and was awarded many metals for bravery and heroism. He survived many battles and remembered bullets whizzing by his head and watching his comrades get blown to pieces within a few feet from where he stood. Our family believed he was invincible. After settling in back home in Nova Scotia, he found himself working in the mines. The only decent jobs available for those times. He ran a crew of 10 men and as they dug deep below the surface, the canary dropped dead. That signified a gas leak and the men had to get out as quickly as possible or they would parish as well. The coal car was stuffed with men and there was no room for one more man. My Grandfather jumped out and told a young worker to get in. He said, send it back down for me after you surface. The men road up in the coal car but new my Grandfather's chances of being alive after breathing all that gas, was slim to none. They sent the car back on it's way down but the hoist cable snapped. The car plunged into the depths of the mine and it's screaming wheels were a warning that it was totally out of control. My Grandfather was at the end of the mine as the car careened toward him. There was no room to maneuver to get out of the car's way. Once the gas was cleared, the miners went back down to see if they could save my Grandfather. They found him at the end of the mine, crushed by the coal car. My family recalls that he always said, "It's not fighting for my country that will be the death of me. It will be something else entirely and it will have little impact on anyone." He was right about the wars not doing him in but the impact he had by jumping out of the coal car to let a young man get on instead is something that young man will never forget. He thought my Grandfather never knew what he had done for him that day. He went down the mine shaft once again to be close to where it happened so he could pray for my Grandfather. As he set his light down, it slid on a rock and aimed on a wall of darkness. The young man went closer as he thought he could see something. Etched in the stone he saw a note that said, "David. It has been a privilege to know you. Please do me a favour will you. Say goodbye to my family for me." The young man's name was David and he did say goodbye for him. There are a lot of humans on this planet but only a few have the guts and the heart to fight for their country. Even less could give up their own lives to save another. I am so proud to be named after my Grandfather. Even though I never really knew him, I knew he was an honorable man of integrity. I'm happy to have the bloodline of such a heroic man. If it wasn't for him and the soldiers that were with him, we would all be living completely different lives. I wish to personally thank all the brave men that fought for our freedom. May you all be kings in the plains of your heaven and may all the angels be CERB girls.

I met Lyka in October during her first trip to Moncton. WOW !! What an amazing experience:!: The girl that met me at the door was the girl from the photos although they really don't do her justice. She's even better looking in person. Our time together was also exactly as she had described and I enjoyed every second of it. There was no rushing or clock watching and she made me feel comfortable immediately. She is friendly, funny, sexy and HOT :!: I just wish I had met her on her first day in town, rather than the last, so I could have seen her again. I'm not making that mistake this week when she's in Fredericton :grin:

Remembering and Thanking all those who past, those who still serve. My Grandfather and Grandmother, he an Air Force solider, she built airplanes!

Single not by choice, my wife for 25 years died of cancer. Since that happened of course I have struggled with whether to find another committed relationship, and have decided to lead a single life, I have my children and am comfortably well off. But at times I must admit to bouts of loneliness, and maybe having that companion to share life would be beneficial. Participating in this hobby is obviously enjoyable but the hour always comes to an end.

That's a interesting point and has me wondering if only singles hobbied and provided would the profession be more accepted? A rather conservative, very well educated woman I know made the point that the problem she has with service providers is that they provide for married men. That is her issue with the profession, as she stated, she could care less what others sell or do with their bodies. What bothers her is those who mingle with attached people. A bit silly perhaps, but something to ponder. As I do feel that in even the most conservative society's most don't care what we do sexually( between adults that is) it's who we do it with that is concerning to them .

When we are having just a gloomy and blue day, look here for some inspiration! Thought this kind of thread might help us out of the winter blues:) Hope to see some great quotes or pic's to spread hope and Joy:) I found this one today...

Another reason to go thru the album's of Cerb' sexy and beautiful women. Let's see if we can find all the photo's with the woman using mirror's in their photo's. What's better then 1 sexy woman, well maybe 2 or more :) Here's a few to start: From Alexxxis's album Let's see how many more we can find. Think of this as a treasure hunt :)

Ok, Lets try this again... as of 5:00pm today the major bugs have been worked out of this and we are ready again to give it a go.

I never notoced it until someonw else brought it to my attention.. just like cleo said 10 min behind...

Read the reviews here...everyplace in town is talked about , with lots of information.....not to hard to scroll through everything..once youve done that, then by all means come back and ask specifics. thanks

I'm guessing when I retire, it will be similar to the motivation of a pro athlete retiring.... My body simply won't let me play the game I love anymore ;)

Once upon a time, one would never be promoted in the corporate world unless they were married. I not sure if it was a "misery likes company" or if a married person was seen as more stable. However, as time as marched on, I think this has changed which is a good thing. Mostly I think because of the divorce rate - sometimes now looking around the office it's tough to find a married person.

Congratulations Spud - I enjoy your posts - keep 'em coming!

Wonder if there will be any texts like this on December 13th ? ;) Ahhhhh nothing like kisses under the cameltoe !! haha

I agree that it would be nice to be able to talk about this, and I'm reminded of Nathalie's thread on destigmatizing clients. If I were to talk about this with friends or people I work with I don't know what the reaction would be. Some would be accepting, others not. However, negative reactions would be devastating for my career and work relationships. so I'll stay anonymous behind my handle and discuss things here. This is one of the great things about CERB; it allows us to be part of a community rather than isolated and alone. Porthos

Some of you may have already read in the news about 2 women who were sexually assaulted by taxi drivers. In both cases the ladies flagged down a cab which makes difficult to find the attacker. So my suggestion to all of you to take taxis, especially ladies but gentlemen are not excluded of robbery or something similar, is always always call the company to request a car even if you are in an area where taxis are available as when calling for one the driver knows the dispatcher and the company have record of who your driver is. Also, if for some reason you take it and not call then discretely write down the driver's name or at least the cab's number, I did this recently after dealing with a very rude driver and with the number and time where I took it they were able to identify the guy and report him. Here's the link of the article: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/2-ottawa-taxi-drivers-accused-of-sexual-assault-in-cabs-1.2421889

Additional Comments:

I find the strangest thing is how people look at me like I'm the bravest human being alive for living my life inspite of being single. I go out all the time to movies, restaurants, concerts, and I travel alone. When I'm telling somebody about what I've been up to and they ask with whom I did these things, and I tell them I went by myself, the look really astonished. People I know will often state that they would be terrified to do those things alone. I've been able to convince a colleague of mine (a divorced woman) that it is perfectly acceptable to go to the movies alone. She was so convinced that "everybody will stare" and "think you're weird". So now she goes to movies alone and enjoys it, and sounds quite impressed with herself. The even stranger thing is, most of my relationships end because I feel it's my partner who is holding me back and I get frustrated with them. I always want to go out and do things, and whatever woman I am dating just wants to stay in all the time.

Just enjoying the variety of the seasons (admittedly the fifth season is never as pretty...)

What's even worse is friends and acquaintances, and giving them benefit of the doubt here, always wanting to fix you up on blind dates. I don't know how many friend of a friend was deemed perfect for me, yet when we met, there was absolutely no chemistry. And she was as uncomfortable as I was, both of us glad the date over. One positive of being a single man, makes me someone who can partake in this lifestyle guilt free :-) Some of the most lonely people I know are those in unhappy relationships And with a batting average of something like 54% divorce rate why are people such strong proponents of marriage for others. It may be right for some people, not everyone A rambling RG

I'd say in thunder bay stay an independent. There are no legit agents in thunder bay to speak of at the moment. But Sugar, Jade, and myself are always willing to help another girl get their own footing in the safest, healthiest, happiest way possible. :) I'll pm you :) Ttys And welcome to the cerbie nation <3x

It is crazy to think that the red poppy glorifies war. I served for six years full time and many more reserve, I don't know anyone who actually served in a combat role who thought of combat as glorious. When you are the one people are actually shooting at or trying to blow up with an IED, you have a lot more reason to be anti-war than someone sitting at home in their comfy chair watching MASH. Sorry for the rant, carry on.

A DJ for the Bear posted a comment about the white poppy trend yesterday, calling people who wear them "naive" and "hippy dippy." I saw people post things in support of his comment such as "people wearing a white poppy should have their asses kicked." This is honour? My great grandfather served in the Russian military just after 1900. My grandfather served in WW2. My grandmother is dutch, and lived through the occupation of Arnhem, hiding jewish families from the SS. I've had friends who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. I plan on being at the ceremony downtown Monday as a standin for my grandfather, who passed away several years ago. No one symbol owns the rights to remembrance. Remembrance is something we do inside, and represent on the outside. It is represented in how we act and how we treat others. Those soldiers who fought and died did so to give us the freedoms we enjoy, so we could choose for ourselves how we want to dress and act toward each other. True remembrance shouldn't be one day a year. In my opinion, the greatest honour we can show our veterans and soldiers is to be involved in the daily dialogue of our nation's governance and how we are represented in the world. A big part of that is making sure that *if* war needs to be fought, that the cause is just and the sacrifice a worthy one. War should *never* be the solution. And I'll gladly debate with anyone the relative merit of the reasons to sacrifice our soldiers recently compared to the Great Wars of the past. There's nothing wrong with the white poppy. It's just as respectful as the red. I'd wear both, although I haven't seen a white one yet, so I'm wearing the red. People shouldn't start dragging deeper meaning into the colour of the poppy (on either side.) White represents peace as well as remembrance. Sorry for the long, rambling post. Every year I write a blog about Nov 11 and what it means to me. I always end it with a quote from Eisenhower: "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in thr final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborors, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron"

Depending on the circumstance it could be difficult and intimidating to do as it could be hard to maintain privacy after getting the police involved. Will the police follow up with him some day to gather more evidence by calling home where he might have a wife or girlfriend? Will he have to go to court as a witness? Does he have friends or family or coworkers that work in the legal system that might hear about this? Could he get in trouble (no, but imagined fears can be just as powerful)? Unfortunately that's what these types are betting on: the victims being too embarrassed to report the crime. I can't say myself that it would be worth the time and effort to go through that process (maybe dozens of hours before resolution?) just for the chance to recover a few hundred dollars. I guess vetting your dates really is the best practice. I hate that mentality because there are lots of great new ladies that just don't have a resume or recommendation yet, but stuff like this makes you think twice. Thanks for reporting, guys!
