Tell us about the Rabbit.... Is it like a rabbit's foot?


Well if you rub a rabbit's foot, it is good luck.

My sister went to an "adult store" and bought an inflatable man. But that was only so she could drive in the HOV lane.

Todd, it's so sad that she has not empathy towards you, was she always that way?

Hi larousse,

I don't know. I had never had anything wrong with me before. I did get seriously injured in the ocean once and spent a week in the hospital. She was okay during that time. WW used to be the sweetest and most considerate person in the world. She changed after she started her affair, or maybe even before.

Todd is SF is your first need how did you manage to control your self when she appeared with pijama kit at your actual acomodation?


Ah, larousse, you are blessed with a good memory. I got to a point after DD where, despite how beautiful my WW is and how sexy I consider her, I found the idea of SF with her repugnant.

Women seem to think men think of SF as only SF. Any port in a storm - so to speak.

I don't find SF with gemela repugnant - I just find it pointless. I can spend that time doing other things that make me happier. SF without the passion and intimacy - well - buy an appliance.

Hey ToddAC - I bet some of those "appliances" generate heat. You might be able to find something you could put in a pot of soup to heat it up (and stir at the same time).

Todd,

I hope you find some answers and help in the Alanon group. My father went to AA when I was 11 years old. My mom went to Alanon and I was sent to Alateen. Lol. I haven't been in touch with the 'groups for more than 20 years.

I wonder if your wife had always this 'uncaring' potential or if she developed it along with the affair and the drinking.

My long term relationships were with heavily drinking people, the last one barely functional. As I write this I'm wondering if it was just natural that I met that kind of man. Maybe I forgot what I learnt. Lol.


Luna et al,

I spent 3 and 2 years in celibacy. I actually know what a rabbit is. I don't have an answer to what to do during celibacy or how to adress that kind of needs. I was told to transform the libido energy into creative energy and it has worked for the most part.

Pio,

Today two men repaired the bathroom ceiling and when they left I decided to use some Muriatic acid I bought after you mentioned it to clean the painting mold. I used in the floor, diluted. After clearing the water five times I thought it was safe to touch the mop with the hands, nope.

I think I'm going to change skin soon. Lol.

Is muriatic acid sell over the counter in other countries?

Yes.

Heck I have been in restaurants in Mexico where they put it in the pico de gallo!

Actually I ruined my favorite pair of Harley-Davidson gloves in a toilet in San Luis Potosí. I laid them on the counter. Muriatic acid turns black leather pinkish-purple.

I don't think that, Pio.... I have found, though, that 'sexual tension' is generally more important to men... for me, as a woman, sex USED TO BE a very enjoyable and very physical way of communicating my affection....but right now...simply a 'physical' attraction may be enough! ...this widens the scope quite a bit for me...and is definitely out of my 'comfort zone'.

I hope this won't get me into any trouble with the 'guys' again, LOL!

I used to have "Iron Man" on quadraphonic 8-track if you can believe that. I think I'll look for it on iTunes.

larousse,

I don't know. Before I got ill, I was always the rock in our relationship. I never needed her for anything. I was self-sufficient as I have always been in life. I think that is it. I never needed her understanding or support until the tumor put me in a full Nelson. Then she flunked the test miserably. Not only was she not there for me when I needed her most, she was there for a serial predator who took advantage of her. It really doesn't matter any longer. I am done.

No. Can't get Iron Man except in live versions. Nothing from them prior to 1989 on iTunes.

When is season 3 of lost going to start? My Desperate Housewives is starting to trickle in on iTunes but there is so far no mention of Lost. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

BTW, since Orchid lives in Hawaii, do you think she has the inside scoop on what is going to happen between Jason and Nicole on North Shore? Soccer practice is seriously cutting into my viewing. I am totally lost. Nicole loves Jason - Jason loves Nicole. Nicole refuses to marry Jason. Jason sleeps with Tessa. I am confused. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

It's the 'for the most part' that I would be interested in finding out more about...LOL!

ToddAC,

I do wish you would stop mentioning the predator. Your wife CHOSE the A. There are always opportunities. Doesn't mean we have to take them.

You say you were always independent and self-sufficient. Why did you get married? It is a serious question. What was in it for you?

When I was young and single, I needed nothing to engage in SF other than a willing woman. I developed a reputation as being one of the "cold" guys. Over time, and with modicum of maturity, I have changed. I cannot imagine SF without feelings or some level of affection.

Wait, can I change my answer? Okay, honestly, I can imagine it and wait...give me a second to think this through....okay I could even do it, that is, SF with no whatever. I am not sure what I am trying to say and should just stop writing.


Do you understand my point? lol

Hi larousse,

Putting the painting in the sun with the moldy back of the painting to the sun should be fine. You can always cover the painted part so that the only part of the painting to be in the sun is the moldy back. If this a valuable painting I'm afraid the terrorizing restorer may be your only answer.

Hey piojiots, get out of my wheelhouse! Yes, my WW clearly chose the A. But it doesn't change the fact that OM is a serial predator either. My WW needed opportunity to cash in; OM provided that opportunity. And trust me, I lay blame clearly at her feet.

Because I messed around and fell in love. At the time I met my WW, I was dating five women. I didn't need to get married for SF purposes. So, that's my answer: I fell in love. I had never been in love before. Okay, that's not true. But, not to the depth to which I fell for my WW. And BTW, just because you get married doesn't mean one is no longer independent. Oh, wait, can I change that answer?

Todd, you're right about the drunk part of the song, it doesn't fit with the rest. I took it to mean when he's out & enjoying himself he will be with her. That's what I want to think any way.

Too bad to hear the Eagels got nasty with each other. It's hard not to let that kind of stuff affect how hear their music. Kind of like art. I find I like a person's work better when I like them as a person, less when I don't.

As for SF...there must be an emotional connection for it to be its best. Otherwise might as well get the dolls & the toys. They have their place but nothing can substitute for
the connection & closeness when you really share yourself intimately.

Nam, thank you. I understand the principle, would think about it.Lol. How was class, is it more enjoyable to teach one to one?

Luna,

going back to what you mentioned about manipulation... I think using sexual atractiveness to get something different that sex or in the context of a relationship, it's manipulation but in the context of dating or a sexual encounter seems just the natural language. Otherwise, how would you be upfront?: 'I'm up are you?'

If what it's said about men enjoying the pursue, if you 'neogtiate' the encounter, are you taking away part of the pleasure of the mutual seduction, even when it's only sexual?
