I just felt like talking, that's all.

[DVS]

I'm not a musician and can't carry a tune in the proverbial bucket, but I love Christmas songs.

By the way, DVS...hello. I've bookmarked your Lit stories for later reading.

Some buckets come with lids. That helps you keep the tune inside the bucket.

Hello and thank you, for the bookmark. Let me know what you think, if you care to. Even if you hate 'em. I'm an adult, so I can take criticism. But, keep in mind, even though I speak softly, I carry a mean whip.

LOL! The lid would be a most welcome addition, I assure you. Nobody wants to hear me warble! lol

I'll let ya know; I always vote on stories I read, and sometimes send feedback.

*sigh* A mean whip. Maybe one day I'll actually get to live out my fantasies. BDSM being one of them. *sigh*

Just a thought...I hope they keep you awake and wanting more, but you might find them to be a nice sleep aid.

ANGRY DISCLAIMER:
YOU BETTER NOT FIND THEM TO BE A NICE SLEEP AID!

Edited to add...

I'm one of the lucky ones. I do live out my fantasies. If you ever get the chance, take it. The chance not taken will haunt you much worse than your lack of tonal proficiency haunts those close to you.

Not reading them tonight (this morning?) because I'm sure I would not find them to be any kind of sleep aid at all! And I find it difficult to "take matters into my own hands" with the whole family in the house, even if they are asleep. And that is what I wind up having to do when I read Lit stories. I'll read them when I'm alone...*wicked grin*

If I get the chance to live out my fantasies, I'm definitely taking it! I think. Maybe. Since I'm married, it is kind of hard for me to take that step. *sigh*

Ok...I'm going to trek back upstairs and try to get to sleep now. Sure...I'll be successful, with visions of D/s in my head....NOT!

*sigh*

But I have to try. Sleep is important. Sleep is good. I keep telling myself this. Why won't self listen?

Egads but I'm getting loopy....that happens when I can't sleep. I'd better log off before I start getting REALLY weird! lol

Nighty night. Sleep tight. Don't let the bedbugs bite. And all that.

There is nothing worse than someone who gets preachy and nothing that we have less time for than someone who types a diatribe. I will try not to do that.

Blame it on my age, or the fact that I have met quite a few people in my fortymrmrer years, blame it on the fact that sometimes I make judgements of people and find out that I was wrong, blame it on the fact that I lost a couple of very dear friends this year and I realize that life is short and time is precious, blame it on the time of year...

I don't and can't hold grudges.

When someone makes an overture to me in the spirit of friendship, I am not able to turn my back on them. I do not choose my friends or aquaintances because they "fit in" with other friends who I have or might no longer have. I do not discard friends because I don't particularly like who they choose to associate with.

Yes, I make mistakes, I misjudge and sometimes jump to conclusions. I can forgive people and I can apologize when I am wrong. I can be the best friend you might ever have. I can be terribly unkind. I choose to believe that most of the people in this world are just like me... human.

Merry Christmas.

Now what a lovely post ADR, and so true I must say....hope your Christmas brings you all the joy you seek too.

This topic has been bantered ad nauseum on this board.
No one is going to change your view of your world. And believe me, just like you, I could not care less about your view of any world.

Well I'm sorry, apart from not recalling I accused you of preaching (though I will keep looking for it as it must be there), these above statements of yours do put a message out there that the topic should be closed in your opinion, and does effectively on occasion put off people posting for fear of more targeting of their input as unnecessary....and it is not the first time you have made the same statement on a thread which for some reason you felt the the discussion was done to dealth and shoud stop. Also you have added to that to point out that you see it as pointless because you feel people do not change their views (thankfully many of us do if we see reason to), and that you place no value on anyone else's thoughts, observations, experiences etc. To me to also presume everyone feels the same as you in viewing other's views as worthless and not worth thinking about is closed minded and very wrong as I time and time again see people, including myself, valueing and asking for others to share on the board so we can all learn from each other. I am sorry ADR but these are your words so own them.

One thing is certain, it *is* pretty obvious that many of you have never been parents.

And this statement is pure judgemental and assuming again. Your way of parenting is not everyone's nor is it the one true and best way of parenting, so because someone chooses to live a certain way does not mean they are not a parent, have not been a parent, or are not a good parent. You yourself could have the same accusation leveled at you from some just because you are interested in this type lifestyle or you post AV's of various stages of you undressed, exposed, or otherwise. It is all judgemental and not at all indicative of whether a person is a parent or not, just that they live the way they find best for them. As i have said to you before, you cannot continue to attack and negatively judge others then cry foul if someone does not accept it, or demonstrates to you what it feels like to be on the receiving end of your words and anger. We have been friends, I have been there for you in good and bad times, but I will not accept your venom whenever it pleases you to let loose. Own your words and take responsibility for them.

Catalina

You know what? I have always owned my words, "...and I can apologize when I am wrong."

I apologize to you Catalina, and anyone else I have been unkind to. I will make every effort to not repeat any unkindness that I have shown.

Merry Christmas.

Nice thread DVS.

Glad you managed to get me thinking about something else other than my own usual head banging, brick wall, December scenarios.

A few years ago I read about an idea that I used with my own children.

Make some love hearts (just cut them out of paper), write on them:

This is a voucher for one hug.

Put a bundle of them into a special envelope and give them away.

At any time during the year, the vouchers may be produced and loving hugs would be given. (With children the heart hugs can be sneaked back into the envelope from time to time.)

I see no reason why this cannot be done amongst adults. After all, hugs are nice at any time, by any one.

Thank you for reminding me.

You sure do have a lot of bagage in your signature line. Yours is a signature paragraph. But, that's OK. Nice pictures, too.

Yesh, I often think of people at this time of year. I'm not that 'Christmasy' myself. I was when I was a kid, though. I wish I could win the LOTTO and give out all the cash.

Seeing people without a place to sleep or enough to eat really bothers me. It's worse this year, because of the economy. It's an all year thing, but you tend to get more help from poeple at this time of year.

And, in my part of the world, it's cold, now. Not the best time to be without when there are people running around crazy spending money right and left. It's just the type of situation that can cause a bad enough depression in a person that they might want to end their life.

It happens all year long, but at this time of year, it happens a lot more. So, find someone and say Hello. Or, as WSO mentioned, send them a voucher for a hug.

Mad at somebody? Make up. One year I had someone come visit me with just a santa hat on (she had nothing on under her overcoat). Yes, ONLY a santa hat. It was cool! Then it got HOT!

And, during this shopping season, be NICE to your retailers. They are working long hours. and, 9 times out of 10, they aren't getting anything extra out of it except sore feet and maybe a headache. Cut 'em some slack.

OK, I hear those violins playin', so I gotta go. When I hear them, I'm getting too sappy.
HO HO HO!

As long as i live, i never want a Christmas like last year.

Besides hating everyone, I'll add my support for those poor folks who are stuck working when everyone else is home with family.

Dont worry about me, Oh Domly One. I'm laughing all the way to the bank.Its either that or sitting around watching old reruns of xmas movies. Xmas penalty rates cover the indulgence of seeing in the new year with a blast.

Well, yeah...but customers can be pricks, especially this time of year. Fucking cocksuckers!!

Are we suppose to ask about it, or not?

 

[landcruisergal]

Hell if you reckon consumers are fucking cocksuckers, you should see the oxygen thieves that think hospitals are a warm friendly place to spend xmas eve. Oh yeah and they get a free meal, and if they are really convincing, an naive intern will give them some free drugs.
Then theres the granny dumpers who want to go on holiday but gramp's bladder can't do long car trips, and granny wanders off.
Not to mention the sad and lonelies.Which is sad indeed.Esp when they slash their wrists or OD. Xmas makes them feel more depressed for some reason. Must be all that peace and goodwill.
I bet our customers are worse. At least shoppers wont throw up or bleed on you, or shit & piss on your shoes.
Happy xmas!

i drove all Xmas eve to see a trainwreck on Xmas day. i think that's about as far as i better go on this one.

 

[Kajira Callista]

Well i think i speak for most if not all when i say...i really hope you never have another christmas like last year also darlin.

 

[landcruisergal]

the only good thing about a really bad xmas is not having one like it ever again... just part of your personal history.

 

[FungiUg]

Oh god!

Hauls out the violin...

 

[landcruisergal]

Oh god!

Hauls out the violin...

nothing like a good fiddle. or being played like an old one.

 

[DVS]

I just wanted to wish everybody (friend and foe) a very Merry Christmas. If you don't celebrate Christmas, I hope you are warm and fed and cared for. Everyone, please think of those who need, if you have extra.

And, let's all hope for a New Year that's full of peace and joy and laughter and as little sadness as possible.

 

[DVS]

A piece of *Joy would be nice, too, if anybody out there is named Joy? Sure, I'll make her laugh, before I have my way with her. (she won't have a chance, once in my grasp)


*insert any name you wish, as long as it's female and she has submissive tendencies. I'll bring them out. Ho Ho Ho.

 

[AngelicAssassin]

... female and she has submissive tendencies. I'll bring them out. Ho Ho Ho.

or bring out the 'ho in them?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Edited for clarity.

What a blessing Masters and mothers can be. Our phone decided to die, after the shops had closed for Christmas, and before I had made my call home to the family Christmas dinner I am missing (though I am not missing their 33C heat). I thought I was up the creek without a paddle for sure and began to go into a depression I didn't need....but to the rescue came Master who drove 2 1/2 hours in the freezing temperatures at 2am to borrow the phone from his mother who kindly loaned it to me so I could phone home and hear the voices of those I love and miss. Has to be the best and most treasured Christmas gift I have ever received. Hope everyone else is fortunate enough to have their Christmas wishes granted too.

Playing a bit of the 's advocate here, you know he could bring this rescue up, way down the road. My, what a special favor that could produce. LOL.

Just kidding. It was a very nice thing for him to do, I know. Sometimes things just HAVE to happen, and when someone makes it happen, it is more than special.
