Is someone still serving drinks??
I swear I’ve gone to look at more than a dozen homes in the last few weeks and the one thing I’ve learned about real estate is that the photos are always deceiving!!
This last house had a torn up front yard and the back yard is at such a steep grade - towards the house - that one good rain and you’d have a pond
Grrrr
Without internet, I don't blame you!
It's too quiet here....
Even the voices are quiet?

Thank you cas, for helping us take care of ourselves.
Oh, I noticed that. But in a way, I found that fun too. At least it's not sexting and dirty posts all the time. I like that.LOL well, there are some parts that might be boring...no guarantees!
Thank you.Welcome. We're a friendly bunch.
A couple of weeks ago there were a few posts about lap sitting, and I mentioned using a rocking chair. I was a bit vague and inarticulate then. I have been thinking about it since, and want to share those thoughts.
When I was actually referred to as BooBoo by my family I was a lap sitter with my father. Specifically on his lap on the rocking chair in front of the fireplace (active fireplaces were pretty uncommon in that time). It was safe warm and comfortable, and there was a great deal of affection (perhaps not what you would expect from WWII Marine).
What I find interesting is how this translated as an adult. Like most healthy males I was interested in a female in my lap. Now as I have discovered my dominant streak, which is heavily influenced by a strong desire to mentor and care, I want to provide that safe warm space. There is something special about rocking someone. It's a very therapeutic kind of care.
Have any DDs or littles experienced this? Thoughts?
My cousin (who's a psychologist) once asked me if I heard voices. I told her I did, but they sounded like the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation, so it wasn't that bad....
"Make it so!"
I need to send BFG something random in the mail....
Uh oh! I've gotten some pretty random things from you. This could be interesting!
Oh, I know exactly what I'm gonna send you....
And an extra sippy cup
