Do you like toys used on you?

What was your kinkiest adventure?

If I get a bit too risque with my questions, you don'thave to answer here.

When was your last romantic vacation? Focused only on romance, not being one with nature.

Do you like toys used on you?

Yes. Although, I like few and still prefer hands by far.
I crave human touch more than anything else.

What was your kinkiest adventure?

I don't think I have kinks. I am not sure even what it means kinky these days.

One of my friends built a secret basement. It's their home cinema and audio room, hidden behind a bookshelf.

Hmm. In hindsight it occurs to me that "heavily soundproofed room hidden behind a secret door" has more than one application.

Hahaha. On it!

Hi Orchidea. Welcome to my mind. Thanks for posting. Feel free to Ask Me Anything.

Thank you for asking BCC

I like toys. There are few for straight men, but a vibrator has many uses. I even have one I wear, turning me into a vibrator. I also have a large collection of cockring, which I wear regularly.

Kinkiest? Hm. The sex was fairly straightforward, but it was in a small tent at noon on a long weekend in a crowded campground with the next tent six feet away and people walking by.

My story "the Session" is based on reality, but the real session was a bit less extreme (I didn't actually leave the room.

My last romantic vacation? Christmas shopping on a long (dirty) weekend last year. We do it every year(except this one). We get a hotel in a nearby city near shopping and restaurants. The shopping doesn't take long, so we have lots of free time to, um take turns examining the ceiling lol. There is more to it of course hehehe.

Oh, I am so sorry. I thought this was BCB making questions to people in general. lol
Didn't mean to be rude.

Not rude at all. That's kind of a great idea: an AMA anyone can answer. Care to start one? I promise to answer first if possible.

 

[TANSTAAFL58]

We race. A lot!

When you both get that look in your eye, who gets their clothes off faster? You or Mrs. Tan?

How could I miss this?

Mrs Tan. She usually has lots of "help" (and I like unwrapping presents )

 

[BlackCaramelCreme]

Do you have any ideas using a structural engineering design for a better toy? Just a thought.

What is your favorite dessert?

What is it that you do in normal interactions that causes Mrs. TAN to pounce on you?

Do you like RECEIVING gift wrapped gifts or bagged gifts?

When was the last time you've been propositioned?

Not yet, but I am going to thing about it lol

What is your favorite dessert?

Pumpkin Pie. To the point that I will once again get one for my birthday instead of cake

What is it that you do in normal interactions that causes Mrs. TAN to pounce on you?

She loves it when I read to her. It doesn't even have to be something sexy.

Do you like RECEIVING gift wrapped gifts or bagged gifts?

I appreciate wrapped gifts because I can't wrap anything. The gifts I give come in bags and envelopes. As I said, I like unwrapping.

When was the last time you've been propositioned?[/QUOTE]

Yesterday. I was shocked as always

Thanks. I was trying to think of a diplomatic way to whine " but why won't you answer MY question?".

The engineer comes out in the fact that you DO go over everything with a fine toothed comb! Not unexpected, I'd say.


Have you finished winterizing the home?

What's the coldest it gets where you live?

Does it get dark in winter like Seela's country?

 

[seela]

Have you finished winterizing the home?

When you answer the question, can you please also tell what winterizing a home involves? I have no clue!

 

[BlackCaramelCreme]

Describe a full day of romantic gestures you'd deliver.

What is your BEST dish to cook?

Living south of you, we feel the cold differently. What temperature is low enough for you to cut on some heat?

Do you have a fireplace and heating system?

Have you ever designed a dream home for someone? Or for yourself or grandson?

Here in the US, we cover delicate plants with compost, empty and pull in the garden horses, cover the faucets so they don't freeze, mow the lawn and rake leaves one last time and secure any outdoor equipment that may be damaged by snow or ice. The states I lived in before Florida was more prone to ice storms than snow.

I'm curious what Tan has to do for winterizing.

Ooh, I wouldn't know anything about that, I've never had a garden. I was imagining you'd have to do something to your house itself to make it ready for the winter.

 

[BlackCaramelCreme]

What was your last random act of kindness in real life?

What do you do to keep the magic sizzling with Mrs. TAN?

What is the most important lesson you would like your grandson to learn?

What is a trait within him that you see in yourself?

 

[BlackCaramelCreme]

Where would you move to if you had to leave due to an emergency?

10 minutes to pack, what would you take?

With the outbreak of this pandemic, how far ahead would you make plans for something big?

What reasons can you give for society as a whole treating larger scale sized adults as non-sexual beings?

I am ALMOST finished winterizing my home. That's good, because we goy\t 4 inches / 10 cm of snow last night.

Here its similar to what Gracie does, but more extreme.

I buy roses from a breeder in Morden Manitoba, because they are tough as nails and were bred for our weather. I cover them in mulch anyways. Same for my Rhododendrons and Azaleas. Everything else is winter hardy.

I drained the hoses and shut the outdoor water off INSIDE.

I got snow tires on the vehicles a couple of weeks ago (and put my wife's Mustang in storage until April). I topped up the windshield washer antifreeze. Put a sleeping bag , candle and emergency food (protein bars) in the vehicles, because getting stuck beside the road is a real possibility. One vehicle needed a new snowbrush.

I changed the oil on my snowblower and started it to make sure it was running ok. I filled the inside wood pile and the one by the door. (We loose power regularly, so a woodstove is more than a romantic touch)

I stored a bunch of summer stuff in the shed including bikes, the pellet grill, lawn mower and hoses.

I put up the Christmas lights.

I live on the shore of Lake Huron. the lake has an enormous effect on our weather. As long as it remains open (it rarely freezes over all the way), it moderates our temperature so that it rarely gets below 0°F (about -18°C). By contrast, inland from here it will get much colder.

The price we pay is "Lake Effect Snow" Storms from Colorado (a slow moving system referred to as a Colorado Low) or Alberta (a fast moving system called an Alberta Clipper) blow cold, dry air over the lake, which picks up moisture that falls as snow here. The winds whip the snow into total whiteouts that can last days. Lots of places get more snow that us, but ours doesn't stay put.

I'm not that far north. To be precise, I am around 45° North, halfway between the equator and the North pole. About the same as Minneapolis or Milwaukee. Seela is about 60°N, on the Arctic Circle. It is darker here, but the sun rose today at 7:42 and sets at 4:48 this afternoon. I can deal with that. The hard thing here is the lack of sunny days over the winter.

Its the Continental climate that gives us winter weather. There is a lot of real estate between the pacific and the Atlantic.

Well that was long

 

[TANSTAAFL58]

Describe a full day of romantic gestures you'd deliver.

Our annual Christmas shopping trip (cancelled this year; it was replaced by two hours on Amazon with a bottle of icewine). Drive to a nearby city Friday night. Check in to the hotel. Hotel stuff. Up early, breakfast at a "secret" restaurant. Back to the hotel. Um, "hotel stuff". Head to the malls. Shop. Lunch at a pizza place. Shop. Back to the hotel. Shower, change. Change again. One more time. Dinner at a quiet little place with a unique "winter patio". Lingerie Store together. Back to the hotel/ Fashion show. Hotel stuff...

What is your BEST dish to cook?

I learned to cook a very good basic pasta sauce. I love Italian, so it gets used regularly.

Living south of you, we feel the cold differently. What temperature is low enough for you to cut on some heat?

I was in Charlotte NC one time when the temperature was going to hit 31°F. They closed the schools! I didn't have a winter coat; just a windbreaker. I usually put the heat on when Mrs. Tan starts wearing one of my t-shirts to bed. It blocks the view

Do you have a fireplace and heating system?

A woodstove is a necessity here. We regularly lose power in a storm. The woodstove provides emergency heat and somewhere to cook.

Have you ever designed a dream home for someone? Or for yourself or grandson?

Hehehe, my GS thinks his treehouse er tree FORT is a dream home.

I have sketches of a cottage I'd love to build. Someday...

How many times have you seen the aurora borealis

 

[BlackCaramelCreme]

We hope you come back. We miss you. I miss your presence.

 

[gracie920101]

I watch Mike Holmes shows a lot with J and I have discovered that Canadian homes have a "cold room" in their basements. Being a southern girl I can only assume it's like a root cellar but can't verify that because when shown it's always empty, so who the hell knows?

Do you have a cold room in your home and what do you keep in yours?

 

[TANSTAAFL58]

I had kind of forgotten about this. Thanks for bringing it back to the first page.

How many times have you seen the aurora borealis

Quite a few. I worked in "Northern Ontario" for a while when I was younger. For four n=months I was northeast of Thunder Bay at a papermill in the middle of nowhere. Coming out of the Bar one night about 1am, the sky was filled with sheets of colour. I ran back inside. "The Northern Lights are out!" I shouted. Nobody was that interested. I sat on the hood of my car and watched for an hour.

I have seen them where I live now (45°N latitude) and on the north shore of Lake Erie.

And I never get tired of seeing them

We hope you come back. We miss you. I miss your presence.

Do you have a cold room in your home and what do you keep in yours?

Sadly, I do not have a cold room in my present house. Yes, it's the same idea as a root cellar. The last one I had was an unheated, insulated room, off the basement about 8ft x 10 ft. In it I stored home canned food like Salsa, tomatoes, pickles, jams and fruit and my wine "collection", plus the caning supplies and equipment and Halloween / Christmas decorations. The temp stayed around 50°F / 10°C most of the time. My Grandfather actually stored potatoes, winter squash, onions, rutabagas and garlic in his, but I don't grow as much as he did. (He hated going to the grocery store in winter).

 

[gracie920101]

Well I'm happy to know my assumption was correct.

What kind of caning supplies do you normally store? Presoaked birch twigs? Bamboo?

 

[TANSTAAFL58]

Je me scuse madamoiselle. My English is not so good*. Well, the spelling anyways.

"Canning".

However, the storage area we keep the canning stuff in would be satisfactory for storing caning supplies as well. It's dark, dry and nobody goes there. Thanks Gracie!

*despite being my only language lol.
