If You Gotta Go, Start Early ( funny)
A very proper lady began planning a week's camping vacation for
her and her Baptist Church group. She wrote to a campground for
reservations. She wanted to make sure that the campground was
fully equipped and modern, but couldn't bring herself to write
the word "toilet" in her letter.
So, she decided on the old-fashioned term "Bathroom Commode"
Once written down she still was not comfortable. Finally she
decided on the abbreviation "B.C." and wrote, "does your
campground have its own "B.C.?"
When the campground owner received the letter, he couldn't
figure out what she meant by "B.C."
He showed it to several of the campers, one of whom suggested
the lady was obviously referring to a Baptist Church since there
was a letterhead on the paper which referred to a Baptist
Church.
So he sent this reply:
Dear Madam: The B.C. is located nine miles from the campground
in a beautiful grove of trees.
I admit it is quite a distance if you are in the habit of going
regularly. No doubt you will be pleased to know that it will
seat 350 people at one time, and it is open on Tuesday,
Thursday, and Sunday of each week.
Some folks like to take their lunch and make a day of it.
The acoustics are very good, so everyone can hear even the
quietest passages. It may interest you to know that my daughter
met her husband there. We are also having a fund-raiser to
purchase new seats, as the old ones have holes in them.
Unfortunately my wife is ill and has not been able to attend
regularly. It's been a good six months since she last went.
It pains her very much not to be able to go more often.
As we grow older, it seems to be more of an effort, especially
in cold weather. Perhaps I could accompany you the first time
you go, sit with you, and introduce you to all the other folks
who will be there.

Account cancellation
Has anyone here had their membership at this site cancelled or suspended. And if so was there a reason given?
RE: Account cancellation
No I have never had my membership cancelled but I suppose that is down to the fact that I am such a charming person who every single host on cc is madly in love with and wishes to marry :D
RE: Account cancellation
first, anyone can post here. you dont a member account.
I do remember a certain guy that got suspended for mentioning competing site names here or something like that. some wierd steve guy. he used to come to this forum and whine about it constantly.

RE: Account cancellation
Is there a certain minimum spending requirement here? I mean do members have a monthly quota to reach in order to keep their membership active?
RE: Account cancellation
Don't think so Anonymous. Maybe if your account is inactive for a certain period say 3/6 months it might be closed.... though CC will re-open it if you send them a mail with details :)

Taste Test:-))
A teacher was having a tasting day where she would put candy in the kids' mouth and they would guess what it was. She went to the first little boy and put a Hershey's Kiss in his mouth.
"Can you guess what it is?"
"I don't know," said the boy.
"I'll give you a hint. It's something your daddy asks your mommy for every morning."
The girl next to the boy says "Don't eat it. It's a piece of ass."

RE: Taste Test:-))
A Kiss is a type of candy made by Hershey's with a very distinctive shape. They are one of the most popular candies in the world. The typical Kiss is made of milk chocolate, wrapped in silver foil, and has a slip of paper twined within the wrap around the chocolate. For holidays like Christmas or Easter, Kisses are sold with colored foil to reflect the traditional colors of the holiday.
RE: Taste Test:-))
This wasn't my definition I just copied and pasted it.
However I would just like to point out that the definition actually said "in the world" rather than "around the world". A subtle difference.
I would presume that Hersheys is a confectionery company but as I am not from the USA I could not swear to this and cannot be arsed going to find out on the web :)

RE: Taste Test:-))
Films about WWII talk about American troops eating their Hershey Bars. So I guess it's a long-established American confectionary company. Never seen any in UK though.
RE: Taste Test:-))
Hersheys is like UK's cadbury or nestle...
I tried hersheys and it tastes quite disgusting....just my take :)

RE: Taste Test:-))
Personally I like Nestles better.
Hershey's is indeed an American confectioneer, HQed in Hershey PA. It's been in the business long enough that it's original candy bar, The Hershey Bar, originally sold for a 5 cents and was larger then it is now. There main "coupe" was having the foresight to trademark the term "kiss" at the time was a generic term for a flavored candy, now pretty much exclusive to Hershey though I do recall seeing butterscotch kisses for sale once.
If you ever travel through the area, by the time you're within 5 miles of the town the smell of chocolate is sickening. It has a plant tour an amusement park similar to six flags.

RE: Devilxangel
Have you actually seen her or chatted to her recently? Even if you have but if you went into video or chat with your opinions already fixed then of course whatever she says or does is not going to change your mind. I have always liked how she looked and enjoyed chatting but she has changed her look recently and now looks even nicer.

Tastes like beer that's been in the sun for a week.. real good stuff..
In 1922, a Melbourne man called Fred Walker (who started the Fred Walker Company which eventually became Kraft Foods Limited in Australia) had the bright idea of using yeast extract left over from the manufacture of beer to create a wonderful source of vitamin B and a tasty new spread that every Australian will grow up with. But it took many years before the product became a success. Fortunately Fred was a determined and clever marketer

Girl asking me to leave private session
Anyone here ever been asked to leave a host's private session? Happened to me recently. The girl accused me of taking pictures of her in private session. This girl's price is over $2/minute and I was completely polite to her the entire time, so I was a bit stunned when she told me to leave.
Me: Can you please zoom in on various parts of your body?
Her: Sure.
20 minutes later...
Me: Can you zoom in on your eyes?
Her: Uhhh. Are you taking pictures of me?
Me: No. I am not. My hands are too busy for that. You don't like people taking pictures of you?
Her: No. And I don't believe you. I think you are lying to me.
Me: I don't know why you think I am, but you shouldn't be offended if I was because every time you are on cam anybody can take pictures of you they wanted and you would not know. But, honestly I am not.
Her: (.... long silence.... )
Me. So, do you want to continue?
Her: You can leave my chat now.
Me: Ok. Later.

RE: Girl asking me to leave private session
maybe that should teach you to not waste your money on high priced girls that think WAY too much of themselves. screw her, find a good russian girl at .50-1.00 and have a good honest attentive show.

RE: Girl asking me to leave private session
no. but my first day here i asked if i could similar things
and she said no and asked me to leave and then blocked me so i cant even see her archive photoes.
but i have also seen and heard of other hosts letting us do it.
so yea, move on theres plenty of beautiful ladys here. you will get over here someday ( that last part was my sake)
funny how they do this stuff to help thier families but , oh no no pix please.

RE: Girl asking me to leave private session
I don't really see what her problem is anyway. A member can download and save any and all of her archive pictures. Some hosts just don't know how to keep good customers. Her loss man.
RE: Girl asking me to leave private session
first you learn a few things about the equipment you are using............you start that and ill go ask the heart surgeon how do i do a triple bypass on myself.....
RE: Girl asking me to leave private session
Yes there are programs that will allow you to screen capture video. That said, it is not really worth it there are so many porn videos on the net for free. Also you should report her to CC Admin with the full text of your chat, time date etc. Hopefully they will ask her what happened as well and give her some advice. I would hope they do not ban her. She seems to be a bit silly to me, unless someone has warned her about her video being captured and then just put on the net for everyone to see. There could be a number of reasons. Good luck
RE: Girl asking me to leave private session
I had a guy doing that, he was recording my vids.. how can i like that when i see vids of girls from here or other sites on free porn sites?
RE: Girl asking me to leave private session
all job choices have certain amounts of risk. this is one of the risks of this job hosts do here. not saying it is right cause it isnt but right or not, it is reality. if u cant take the risk, then dont do the job. that may sound unfair but if ur mum told u that life is fair then she lied to u.
RE: Girl asking me to leave private session
how does a host know that a member is recording the video?
RE: Girl asking me to leave private session
true, a host has to consider the risks of being a host. she also creates block zones for a reason. if a viewer wants to "promote" her, he should ask her permission. she may not mind, depending on the circumstance. it's the sneeky underhanded way that upsets the host most of all. she goes in knowingly of what she is doing. but if she is being recorded unknowingly, it obviously strikes a nerve, if she has already been taken advantage of, or if she knows of others who have. she may become paranoid. wether or not a person belives it to be justifiable or not truely doesnt matter. it is her right to be paranoid. it is her right to choose to terminate a video because she is suspisious, feels abused, or to completely turn away a person based on those reasons. just as any other "buiness", she has the right to turn away patrons ;). it may not turn out to be true, and be a loss for her and the viewer. that's just the way things are for you as viewers. one of your downfalls. viewers can be turned away, and hosts can be recorded. we can stop, or we can deal. personally i keep this from most of my family. but if they find out, i am an adult. wow! i do adult things. oh and how did they find out??? checking out porn themselves aye? hmmmm lol... relax, enjoy xoxo CS

Chalkboard Culprit:-))
One day a teacher went into her class room and saw the word, penis written in small letters on the chalkboard. She erased it and went on with the day's lesson. The next day, she came in and saw the same word on the chalkbaord, but a little bit bigger. She erased it and went on with her lesson.
Each of the next several days, the teacher would come in to find penis on the board, a little larger each time. She went in one morning, expecting to dinf it again, but instead the chalkboard read: The more you rub it, the bigger it gets.

question for host and members
Have you met someone at camcontacts where it initially started out as the typically pay for show but later reached the point where you no longer felt comfortable doing a show because you had developed feelings for that person?
RE: question for host and members
Yes, at times it occurs to me that these little girls are just trying to get by the best they can and they do not need the likes of me giving them a hard time, <<big head thinks. Little head thinks >>>Bang their brains till their bones hurt! How much like an angel this quintessence of dust? No ying without the yang and so it goes.
RE: question for host and members
Yes...with 2 persons. Wich are now my best online friends ever.
RE: question for host and members
I really REALLY hope that you have some best friends who are "real" people too ... wouldn't it be sad if our best friends were people we met on an internet porn chat site ...
RE: question for host and members
hey ! porn site friends are ppl too ya know
oh sure they cant give you a ride home from the bar or stripclub, but then im watching strippers and getting drunk here, so why go outside?

RE: question for host and members
"Real people" ? What the f*** is that? Some kind of an oldie expression used by grandpa bananas?:)
RE: question for host and members
Never. If you pay them not to strip and just talk, 1,000 other guys will pay them to strip. So, you are wasting your time and money if you fall for that trap. Perhaps you think that by showing her respect by not asking her to take her clothes off, there's that chance that you will end up being her boyfriend or marrying her because you're soooo respectful??? Better chances winning the Lottery. That's like going to the strip club and dumping money on a girl and telling her I respect you, so I don't need to see you naked anymore. Buttttt, here's my money anyway.
Keep it real. They are entertainers. You are the customer.

RE: question for host and members
So, in other words..... It's better to pay them not to strip when you have money.... so you can have a chance to have a free chat with them later on when you are broke???
RE: question for host and members
Yes a few times , but if i do go to vid , then its a surprise , and not looking for a show ... so now just chat on yahoo and cam sometimes when she would like to..
or others just chat / message on sms..
and of course we met a few times too .. nothing like the real person .. of course ..
Wish they did not have to be here , but ..
maybe they will get chances to leave sometime in the future ..

RE: question for host and members
...or maybe she's just sugggesting that one kind of guy might gladly pay for a kind of performance that another guy might consider not worth paying anything for at all.
was the question asked by "member" only about awkward feelings concerning a pornographic show, or was he talking about awkwardness felt about an exchange of money for only a "show" of affection and personal interest after actual REAL emotions become involved too? ...i wonder...

RE: need some help
When you open the session you have an option: "This session will be free" select that and next to that u will see :"private session: and u have to enter a password there, any word u want or numbers. Then all u have to to do is click the start session button and to give ur member the password.
Good luck
Good luck
RE: need some help
Since you must know his member name, you can send him cc mail with a special password, and then set up a free session at a prearranged time just for him. Or maybe, the next time he comes to your text chat, send him a password privately.
Of course, an alternative is to both set up free yahoo accounts and use yahoo messenger to share your webcams ... it works perfectly and you don't have to worry about passwords. Hope it works out for you ... have fun :)

RE: Question
Romanians have a beautiful ancient tradition on the first day of March : MARTISOR (The Amulet). Its name is a diminutive from the name of Martie - the Romanian word for March. There is a similarity between Martie and the ancient Roman God "Mars" or "Marte" in Latin language. In ancient Rome this God was a symbol of revival, green fields, flocks and love. They used to celebrate their God on the first day of spring.
From the ancient time people were celebrating the coming of spring with long time forgotten rituals. They used small pebbles painted in white and red arranged alternatively on a string. It might be curious why they had chosen these two colors : red and white. In those times, many magical rituals involved human or animal sacrifices for determining their pagan Gods to listen to their prayers. So blood was associated with life, fertility and worship. On the other hand, the snow, the ice and the clouds were white. In a single _expression the meaning of two colors might be : "let's forget about winter and pray our Gods to bring us fertility".
At the beginning of 19th century the beautiful Amulet was found in all Romanian regions. Especially children and women wore around their necks or on their left hands two woolen yarns (one red, one white) knitted together and a small silver or golden coin hung on them. The belief was that those who wore that Amulet were protected and would have good luck in the next year. It was written in books that young Romanian girls wore Martisor from March 1st till March 12th. After two weeks, they used to tie their hair with that special red-white yarn waiting to see the first spring birds coming to their village. Only after that event, the young girls took out the Amulet and hang it to the first tree they saw in blossom.
Nowadays "Martisor" is present in all Romanian regions but you can find a similar tradition in Macedonia and Albania too. In Romania this Amulet is a symbol of coming spring and joy. Exchanging them is a gesture of love, friendship, respect and appreciation. However, nowadays any gift offered on this day has the same meaning.

The belief was that those who wore that Amulet were protected and would have good luck in the next year. It was written in books that young Romanian girls wore Martisor from March 1st till March 12th. After two weeks, they used to tie their hair with that special red-white yarn waiting to see the first spring birds coming to their village. Only after that event, the young girls took out the Amulet and hang it to the first tree they saw in blossom.
Nowadays "Martisor" is present in all Romanian regions but you can find a similar tradition in Macedonia and Albania too. In Romania this Amulet is a symbol of coming spring and joy. Exchanging them is a gesture of love, friendship, respect and appreciation. However, nowadays any gift offered on this day has the same meaning.
