Phaedrus

Yes, it was awesome. I'm now going to sleep for a week.

Yalta, Ukraine

Best of luck, Spud. I hope everything works out for the best.

The problem is that I'm now trying to think of something outrageous enough to top the stuff in Cat's list. Will anyone give me a discount if I show up wearing just hip-waders and a pink afro wig? It's really sexy, just wait until you see it... and I don't want to actually do anything, just sit on your doorstep and wave at the neighbors. Is that OK?

I had the pleasure of meeting Katrine for the first time earlier this week. I'd been wanting to see her for a while, and finally got the chance to do so... Well, she's every bit as delectable in the flesh as in her pics. She began by giving me a very nice massage, and afterwards I got to return the compliment... which was lots of fun. From there things only got... hotter! Suffice to say that it was only a gentle warm-up for what happened afterwards. I'll definitely be back!

I've only heard of one spa getting busted around there, and that was on the other side of the river (and probably because they were right next to a daycare, although I don't know who was at the location first). Local LE have a million an done better things to do, provided the neighbors don't complain. We have quite a few indy MAs around. As Amelia said, look at the ads, read the recos, and go for it! If you want particular recommendations: Central: Ameila, Jessica, Megan, and I think Claire Heavens is downtown now too. West: Sensual Erin

Welcome, Vanguard! Hope you enjoy yourself here.

Kiss - Beth

Awesome, wasn't he? Highlight of BF so far, for me.

Jazy is worth seeing.

Tough one, that. I have no idea what you should do. One thing I can say, though... I really don't think it's a good idea to spend a lot of time wondering what might have been if things had turned out differently. Yes, we've all done it... but none of us have any clue. What if we'd stayed with that ex? What if we'd actually managed to get it on with that person? Maybe now you'd have a horde of kids; maybe you'd have divorced after a few years or just fallen out and split up after a few days; maybe you'd both have died in a plane crash on your honeymoon. You'll just never know, and I don't consider it particularly useful or productive to ponder endlessly on how things could have turned out. Get on and live life as it is now.

So, Monty Python may have come up with the , but someone has subsequently invented... the Chap Olympics. Umbrella Jousting: Ironing Board Surfing: Butler Racing Moustache Wrestling (no, I have no clue what the lobster is for): Three-legged Race: More here and here.

Yes, it's good, but be warned - it's --really-- sweet. I like it, but it was getting to be a bit much for me by the end of the pint. +1 on Sangria, although I hardly ever have it. For me, the summer staple is gin and tonic. Added bonus: helps prevent malaria.

Er... no. You aren't :) On the more general subject of this thread... there is most certainly an art to managing an encounter so that it reaches a satisfactory conclusion for all concerned and ends at about the right time, give or take a bit. I must say, I've always been quite impressed by the ability of SPs to do this, without obviously checking a clock every couple of minutes. I should also say that the encounters I've had that have overrun have been the ones where there's been a genuine connection, and they've overrun because we were talking too much. I should also say, though, that I'm not in the habit of checking my watch when I arrive and when I leave, and that I consider "unrushed" to be as much an approach to the whole thing as something you can measure. Although obviously, it's not something to be abused.

Context is important :)

Three things to say on this. First up, if you're going to BCC everyone by hand... really, --really-- don't screw this up and put everyone in the To: or CC: field by accident. I'm sure Cat isn't the only one of us who's done this - all of us have done similar things at one time or another (if nothing else, hitting reply-all when we only wanted to reply to one person, which is a similarly embarrassing beast) Secondly, as with any mailing list: make sure it's easy for people to --unsubscribe-- too. If there's one thing I hate, its spammy mails that don't have an easy way to stop them coming. Finally, there are paid-for mailing-list services that exist to handle all this sort of stuff for you - I can think of at least one lady here that does this. It's something that your web-hosting company might well provide. It'll cost $$$, but probably not that much and it'll save you headaches.

I'd just like to say that that was a really unfortunate place for a line-break :)

Or, possibly, that some people just can't follow instructions :) +1. It works the other way, too, of course. I've been to see people on the strength of liking their posts here and thinking I'd like to meet them.
