LOL. I wasn't exactly referring to a blow-by-blow (maybe some pun intended) description of the action! It was more like how would it have felt to be that age and interacting with your partner being so much more knowledgeable sexually and socially (not just zeroing in on the sex because notice I...

Ha! I literally had a dream along these last night, thinking about what would happen if my current self was transported back in time into my high school body with my high school girlfriend and the utter shock on her face as I went from awkward but enthusiastic teenager to, "ahem", master of the...

Yes, cancellations suck. :)

I do kind of feel like we've strayed from the path here, and I agree with you mentioning that earlier, but I'm going to say that you are incorrect as well, or some context needed, so I'm going to dip my oar in the water again. Sorry. 1) several of your colleagues aren't scammers and do ask for...

Bonjour Hi! :)

We don't really know what his experience is. We just know he's new to MERB. He can talk about that if he wants to. I know that my level of experience certainly isn't zero or close to it and I agree with him. I've also been quite clear about making the distinction between the separate groups...

He's not wrong, and taken outside of a local (NA) context that would absolutely be the prevailing general attitude and It is with many people here too. The thing is that it's important to take in the entire tapestry of the mongering experience and to make the distinction between the small group...

You're not going back far enough, if Crescent street alone is the measure of downtown bars. Downtown bars covered all of Mackay, Bishop, Crescent and Mountain between de Maisonneuve and Rene Levesque , with scatterings above de Maisonneuve, and with good coverage of bars on drummond and some on...

It's very common. Every monger with any experience that I know has lost a deposit at some point or another. It's not a question of if but when for most people. I know multiple people who have lost multiple deposits. Totally agree. That's just courtesy and common decency. The amount of the fee...

so, you should require deposits and refuse bookings from those who don't pay them. There will be clarity that way. The people who refuse to pay deposits won't book you but you won't get complaints from those that do and you'll never be completely out of pocket even if cancellations are a pain in...

This also requires context. Music is not a city trait, as it's generally accepted (with some exceptions but I don't think that's what we're talking about here), so probably shouldn't be added in either. Also, Europe is not a city. If you wish to compare then use apples and oranges and compare...

Potholes, poutine, festivals and yes, the decline, rapid and steady. Too many years of poor, shortsighted and xenophonic decision making.

myanonamouse.net is the best source for books I've found online so far, all free, huge library, covering all genres and in multiple formats. Not much you can't find there, old or new. I've downloaded hundreds of books from there. Have a look.

If audiobooks count then I'm currently listening to the latest installment of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, which is easy litrpg escapism but which also is an exceptional parody of the media and an examination of humanity and situational ethics. The audio interpretation by Jeff Hayes is so...

me too. :)

First off, I support the idea that drivers should contribute an amount toward infrastructure and public transportation costs. Having said that, I only support it to a point, and the fact that my most recent registration renewal has me paying 30% more in public transit fees than my actual...

I usually advocate never doing any screening whatsoever other than personal referrals, which I'm happy to provide, but I understand that not everyone has the same risk tolerances and/or focus on individual SPs. I feel the same way about deposits, knowing that it's just a question of when, and...

The jokes almost write themselves for this comment in this context, but I find myself in too gentlemanly a mood to pursue them. :)
