Phaedrus

I'm pretty sure you're right about that. whatsup, to address your original problem (in addition to the suggestions we've had already), you can always find a few other posts by other people that you like and dish out some rep points to them, and then try again. Or just make a note of it and try again sometime later, unless it's always the same person that you approve of.

The question was about your SO, not your ex-SO :) Probably. I've had it done to me a couple of times, so I see no reason not to be on the right end of it for once. Would you give your life to save a friend's?

This is... impressive.

Congratulations, Sky! Love seeing what you have to say!

Die Mannequin - Do It Or Die

Apparently you can now get cosmetic contact lenses with embedded gold or gemstones. And I have to say, the effect is... terrifying. More here, if that wasn't enough for you.

This sounds exciting, although probably some way off any practical application just yet...

Have a fantastic time!

The Hives - Hate To Say I Told You So http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCQ7VLoY7bQ

For me, there's only one deal-breaker - I'm not interested in outcalls, so if that's all a lady offers then we almost certainly won't meet. Other than that... I tend to have a bias towards those ladies that have an actual presence on CERB, and contribute beyond just posting pics and ads; it gives me a fairly good idea of whether we're going to get on well or not. After that, a good reco or two is probably what matters for me.

Well, the definition of cheating seems to have been hammered out pretty well. But another, related question: how many relationships do SPs *save*, by providing a no-strings-attached escape valve for people which carries none of the potential for fallout of a full-blown affair? [edit: as RG suggests, maybe this needs a new thread...]

Actually, the one I'm inclined to use most often is this:

Well... what is there to say about Cleo that hasn't been said already? I had the pleasure of making her acquaintance in the recent past, and was greeted by a delightful lady in a very pretty summer dress. Some small talk, some getting to know each other, some getting to know each other a little better... and it soon became apparent that the dress was *all* Cleo was wearing. And soon she wasn't even wearing that any more, and I was scrambling to keep up... There then followed an extended period of awesomeness (well, I thought it was awesome, anyway :) ). Cleo is quite spectacularly good at what she does, but you don't get details; you 'll just have to go and find out the details for yourself! I shall be back to... um... refresh my memory of those details before too long, and, perhaps, discover some new ones....

Wow. Most impressive. Keep it up!

Thanks, WIT. It's probably worth noting that this lot is rather stricter than it looks. The blue bit at the extreme left is currently a parking lot; all of the blue bits in the middle are within 1km of "the premises known municipally as 1560 Triole Street" (that's the NuDen, to the rest of us); and half of the bottom bit is covered by high-voltage power lines coming from the power plant next door, which probably aren't getting moved anytime soon. And I didn't even bother checking for proximity to churches or schools. What this really means, in practice, is no SCs except the ones that existed when the bylaw was passed. So if Barb's goes, it'll be gone forever unless the terms of sale allow for some provision for a SC in the building that replaces the current one.

Thanks, but I'll stick with your nuru massage... way better than soap! And doesn't sting at all, as an added bonus :)

Actually, I want one on the front of my car that says, in mirror writing, "If this sticker is blue, get the hell outta my way."

I have suddenly developed a keen interest in architecture. Does anyone know anything about how we can help to preserve the fast-disappearing landscape of former days against the tsunami of steel and glass that threatens it?

To be honest, the mere fact that they're featured in the Cowboy's Diary probably isn't a good sign...

Don't have much to add to what others have said here. The only thing I'd say is that I'm not really a fan of the grainy, cellphone-in-the-mirror pics; you don't need to get a pro in, but at least get a proper camera (doesn't need to be anything special), and maybe a tripod or a friend to help out.

Yeesh... I started getting concerned when I could walk into my usual bar and my preferred pint would be sitting on the bar waiting for me by the time I got there. Clearly, the solution was to start drinking other beers occasionally :)
