How awful for his friends and family. So sorry for the loss of your friend, Carrie.

Good post and mirrors some of my concerns. I like the hotel facility idea....more private than a bar and need not be in the center of downtown. A show at the event? Probably not the best idea. A mix and mingle social event would be more to my liking. That's actually what this is advertised as....a CERB social. I have a stag party to attend next week.....20 bucks and the girls will be there to put on a show....a different type of event than a CERB social. MN, having attended Ottawa's social, will be a great source of info. If any of the ladies wished to offer a door prize- great, but that would be their offer to make and not be asked for it. It could make me purchase multiple tickets, though. LOL I'm curious if they had anything in Ottawa for background? Music? Some sort of agenda? For shy attendees, simply a mix and mingle could be painful and awkward. Even a video screen with something on it could be an icebreaker. Additional Comments: Lol......I thought of the same thing. If I leave the house in business casual clothes, I'll have some 'splainin' to do. I agree that we don't want this to even remotely resemble a guy's Super Bowl party in Bernie's garage. I'll figure something out for myself.

Someone mentioned late May/early June......my absolutely busiest time of the year. I'd be up for this and would definitely pre-pay my share, but risk being a no-show. If that would screw up the numbers, I'd refrain from registering. If not, full steam ahead. Wtf......10-2? I have a 2 hour drive, you damned teenagers! I might actually have to think about getting a room. Additional Comments: Ah, no...I think we'd actually just ask for the drlove reserved room.........or whoever's name. We'll have to read up on the Ottawa's thread for protocol and ask for guidance. Also, as pointed out, details by pm.

One more picture would be nice......of those green eyes, you green eyed German beauty. As for the rest, surprise me.

Lol....if I can get in and out un-noticed, I'd love to attend. It'd be nice to have a 50/50 ratio there.

That'd be so cool to have our own "Chicken Ranch" down here. Anyone that knows the area knows there are places that fit Summer's description.

Check out the contact's name. Irony at it's finest. "Media Contact Cst. William Creamer (902) 298-1807 (902) 543-2464 "

Good luck in your new life, Cherry.

Oh, God.......the silent treatment. Frigging drama......life is too short, so move on. Silent treatment is a game I have no time for. If the other person wants to get over it, good enough. I'll ignore it like it didn't happen..........once or twice. If it persists, they can find somebody else to practice on. I'm not an uncaring brute, but ST suggests that it's my fault and, if it isn't, I'm old enough not to take blame that is not mine.

Good post. That works when you love them. When you don't......meh, not so much.

80.........something about smoking being bad for you.

Home grown girl.......way to go!!!!

Very cool.

I don't care if they're cute or ugly. I agree with CC on the main point......animal abuse is totally unacceptable. As human beings, we're supposed to be on top of the food chain and have compassion for other species. Sadly, there are some human beings that feel animals can be treated inhumanely.

It doesn't happen in NA except in isolated incidents which, if discovered, are widely publicized and soundly condemned- as they absolutely should be . The video I think Cristy is referring to disgusted me as well and involved either dogs or foxes in Asia.

Gawd, I don't care. As long as your breathing, I'm okay,

Lotta misconceptions out there, sorry to say. First of all, I don't know of any any animals that are skinned alive. They are euthanized as humanely as possible, some are stunned unconscious (then the jugular is severed and the animal dies without conscious pain), others are gassed until they expire (mink, for instance). It is quick and painless with the well being of the animal in mind and is scrutinized by all (inspectors, public, PETA, etc.) to make sure it is done right. It may not be pretty or savory to some, but it's the best way to do it. Factory farms is another term I dislike. People that raise animals for fur or food depend on doing everything absolutely right in order to make a living doing it. The animals have to be kept clean, comfortable, healthy, and well fed at all times.

LMAO.....I know what you mean!

If I want to agonize over a menu, I'll go to MacDonalds. If I want to meet a special lady, I'll watch her posts here for awhile and then I'll talk to her in some manner. It really doesn't take too long for me to decide whether or not we'll click. I'm pretty easy going and low maintenance and I seem to gravitate towards those who have a sense of humor and appear to have a genuine interest in seeing me as a person in addition to being a client. I don't see my friends as escorts, really. I think of them more as friends with benefits. Every lady is different, but if I treat them as a lady, they'll treat me as a friend. The first hug and smile are the icebreakers....and then it's all good.

That was good.....VERY good. Great post.

Sigh....sometimes I am too politically correct. I like the part highlighted in red above. Sort of gets right to the root of the problem.

There's a bill being discussed in Arizona which would make trolling (cyber bullying) illegal. It likely won't get passed, but the intent is laudable. Don't let it get under your skin, Cristy. Personally, I don't like forum attacks and if I do happen to do it, I try to pretend the person is standing in front of me and I attempt to admonish in a respectful manner. In your case, if I didn't agree with what you said, I'd likely say "Cristy, you've been a bad, bad, girl. Go directly to my room."

It's all about personality, my dear. Open-mindedness is also critical. However, if you're a genuinely nice person, we'll find something to talk about.

Have a great day, RG!
