I would imagine that it's also easier for SPs to quickly verify the payment in the envelope if it's larger bills. No need to count out the $20s in front of the client. I really like @MichelleMontreal's system! I'm that way when I win anything at poker: the big bills get saved, the smaller ones...

You all are lucky to Iive in Canada, where "it’s very rare [to] see actual misogynists, racist or transphobic people." I'm delighted to know that gender equality exists in Canada, since it obviously doesn't in the US. This board might suggest otherwise, but I suppose all the misogynistic...

Ha! I had some good Devilish nights. I would have thought they stopped a bit earlier, but I may be wrong. They could be a bit chaotic (in my experience) but also lots of fun. My memory is that they went through some, er, management changes.

I think there's a John Fogerty song about this. "Oh, put me in, Coach I'm ready to play, today..."

Thanks for that explanation. I feel the same way about acronyms and extra charges, especially when they're listed on a website, and I'd say the same about different rates for GFE and PSE. I want an SP to just be herself and do her thing. (I don't blame SPs for those lists, as I'm sure they get...

Well said and you articulate most of my preferences, but I'm not sure I understand "no sessions by the hour." I'm curious.

Gift cards are a normal form of deposit ... but that doesn't mean you aren't getting roped into a scam! (I'm guessing that's why @Flyingby asked which provider.)

Kudos to @Julia Sky and the other SPs here who congratulated the vote-getters. Classy stuff! May I respectfully suggest that there are other recent threads for debates and complaints? Congratulations to all the SPs who received votes!!!!!!

Thank you to @MrProfiteroles for all his work!

This is beside the point of this thread but I wonder what the average number of meetings/year is for MERB members. I'm often astonished by how many dates some men go on, but my guess is that 4-6 meetings each year is average or maybe even above average, at least over 15-20 years.

Then the OP deserves all the scorn we've got. No sympathy from me. It would be one thing if he were new to the scene, was priced out of the agency or indy market, or simply wanted to convey his frustration at being scammed. However, he's got a robust history over the last few months of posting...

Well said!

SPs often express frustration out here about last-minute cancellations (lots of grandmothers dying in January!), and I don't blame them. It's a waste of time and a loss of money. The same is true for clients, especially ones (like me) with limited opportunities to indulge in Montreal. It's all...

You confirmed two hours before the date, you changed your work schedule, and you drove for four hours? I wouldn't apologize; I'd be grumpy. It's unprofessional. "Sick apparently"--and suddenly, it seems....

Ha! I genuinely wasn't thinking of any individual post, and I agree with some of comments in this thread--but overall these threads don't go anywhere and may end up doing more harm than good. I'm sure I'm not alone in rolling my eyes when I see the word "race" in a thread's title. Let's all get...

The threads on race are consistently the worst threads on MERB. They're dispiriting and unilluminating. Everyone is angry and reactionary, pointing fingers and casting blame (which is always ... elsewhere). There is rarely any self-reflection or even much self-awareness. Instead of comparing...

Cunha is brilliant but needs to control his temper. Spurs could use him up front somewhere; Son is a shadow of what he was (as you said); Solanke, Timo, and Johnson are all out; and Richarlison ... well ... he seems to be an injury-prone poor man's Darwin Nunez. Actually, I enjoy watching Nunez...

I'm in complete agreement with everything you write. LOVE to watch United lose. I was enjoying the Southampton game for 82 minutes; it was painful to watch Amad after that. Spurs ... what to say? Is it the manager, the players, the injuries, the owner, the "spursiness"? It's a disaster. I enjoy...

It's unnecessary, hurtful, and hateful. Why do so many people care so much and get so angry (and violent) about this issue? Can't we grow up and deal with things that *really* matter?

Any fans out here? Anyone thrilled by Forest's form (COYR!), amused by ManU's decline and fall, bemused by Spurs' disjointed collapse, impressed by Slot's Liverpool? We've got the League Cup, the FA Cup, the Champions League and Europa League .... And the Canadian Men's National Team has some...
