I'm out...

[Anna Sue]

No, I only try to be careful what I say .

 

[catalina_francisco]

Worth a visit... I love the place. Of course, I'm always trying to see more of the world as well, but it's sooo far. I want to see the US, but I'm hoping to spend a couple of years in Europe working at some stage.

Oh well you know we are here with an open door if you come visit.....unless I persuade him moving to NZ would be good (he is getting a hankering for OZ but I am enjoying the absence of heat and humidity)....and as for work you could always ask him about anything you are curious about as IT security is his specialty so he gets around, and as with most compuiter people I am coming to realize, they tend to hang out together and talk their foreign speak in and out of work. Hey we could take you to see some of the centuries old forts and castles around these parts.

Fungi .........Just to wet your appetite..though I think this place is much more suited to the mist and rain I last saw it in but had no camera.

 

[esclave_PP]

Ooo that looks neat catalina! What is that place?

Not to step on anyone's toes here, but...what is the big deal if someone has 2 posts compared to 40000? If the person has something valid to say isn't it the worth of the words and not "how long" they've been around or how many chicks dig them (grins). Besides, aren't we here to learn from one another AND have a good time doing it? Seems silly to bicker back and forth and waste all that energy arguing. It looks more like a battle of the insecurities rather than anything else. I am sure both of you (Nico and Johnny) have better things to do than that. JMHO. Thank you James for adding your input, and Rose you make a great point -- would love to hear more from Doms too.

What interests me? I posted that thread the other day... it died.

And if a thread about porn/erotica has been done... I missed it.

I say... Go for it!

Anything is worth a try and sure beats the incessant flirt threads. And before someone jumps down my throat, it's not that I mind flirting, but that seems to be almost all we have anymore. And for some of us, it does become boring. Just take a look at who's not posting or who is almost not posting of late... that speaks volumes. And I can assure you that I am not just speaking for myself.

As everyone knows, I am an awfull flirt, and proud of it, but I am so with you on the fact that constant flirting gets old quick if you do nothing else. Besides, how can you have a really good flirt session without other information to draw on? I hardly post here anymore, myself.

btw... I missed your thread Rose... what was it called?

Well, I was using that to talk about introducing yourself and getting to know the folks, and giving people a chance to know you. It wasn't a reflection on the ability of someone to add to the conversation. I think I went over this in another post on this thread.

Catalina,

A tour of castles in Europe would be a lot of fun. Although, having wandered from cathedral to cathedral in Denmark, I soon found I wearied of them! I guess have to do more than just look at castles.

Will we get over your way before you head to Oz? Who knows. May also have kids with us, so some of what I would like to do will be rather circumscribed. However, catching up with people is one of my prime reasons for travel, so looking you and Fransisco up would be great fun!

I'm not missing Sydney's humidity or heat myself... Auckland is way milder.

That is what I figured....the thought of Brisbane and the almost year round humidity gives me nightmares these days. For now we are staying here, who knows what the future holds. The ideal would be to just travel the world and spend 6 months minimum in each place but that is destined to likely remain a pipe dream. LOL. I figure I am lucky to have seen so much in so short a time after spending most of my life barefoot and traversing the Queensland dreamland.

An ancient Dutch fort.....would you believe they constructed forts to keep the Spanish out? LOL.

Catalina

 

[redelicious]

Wow thanks...you have started my day off with a smile which is always a plus and motivator to do great things. Of course it goes without saying you are cool yourself and I daresay still have a lot more left to contribute to fluff and not so fluffy.

Catalina

Ty for the compliment. I hope I do contribute in a positive way. Sometimes I wonder, but then sometimes I'm too insecure (not often though ).

I'm glad I could make you smile.

Say Red if I paddled your ass would you lead my sleigh. Love that Av.

Oh, because of the red glow?

Well, I'd run like hell anyway, lol.

Ty, I saw it and had to have it.

I think I'd not be the only Dom to say hmmm Me too.

Your statement about "what is there to learn?" tells me that you are, in fact, quite new. What are you, 20? 24?

I've been doing this since i was 20, and I learn new things all the time. Manners and ettiquete for one thing. That and there's always a new twist on something old. I try to hang around with people that have been at this as long as, or longer than, I have. You'd be amazed at what an older gay leatherman (or woman) can teach you about BDSM, even after many years of experience
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't forget, you were a newbie once too... not to say that you have, just a reminder. It's like being 40 and blaming a 20 yrd olf for being 20 and not having the wisdom and forsight you do. We have to find our own way, we'll make mistakes, we'll change our minds, we'll grow up (hopefully). Just because you already passed through that phase doesn't mean it makes you better. And don't forget the wisdom of children, or those who are inexperienced .... sometimes they can teach an adult/experienced dominant/submissive something new too.

It reminds me of once when I had a conversation with a pessimistic, downtrodden 40something yr old. He blamed me for being optimisitc and having hope for the future. He told me I should stop being so foolish and wake up to the way the world really was. I told him to fuck off, I was happy while he was miserable and his attitudes certainly wouldn't help me change the world. At least mine made it a possiblity, however small.

I don't think Nico was discounting people simply for being young or new...He said he's always learning new things himself
He was just attacking the fallacy of someone who's new and young saying they have nothing to learn

 

[James G 5]

LOL, now surely you are not suggesting we get out of line and wear you Domly ones out are you? As if!!

Catalina

Oh no, never

 

[James G 5]

Ah, but if we were super supreme (sounds like a pizza topping) beings... then there'd be no challenge in seducing and having our wicked way with mere mortals.

But as mortals, the ego rush of knowing we can control another, body mind and soul... that someone will willingly give themself to us to be trained, teased and tortured... that's the thrill!

*jotting that one down*
Yeah, what he said

 

[James G 5]

It was made in NZ -- not too far from where they did the major shooting for Lord of the Rings. It's kinda funny (only seen the previews so far) -- many of the Japanese in it look very Maori! Will go and see it though.

Matrix 3 was... disappointing. Worth seeing to know how it ends, but still disappointing.

Counting down the days to Return Of The King...

Peter Jackson's talking about making "The Hobbit" next

 

[James G 5]

No i meant Domme that is the problem when English is not your first language and you rely on a dictionary.

Sprechen sie Deutsches, fraulein?

 

[James G 5]

Thank you James for adding your input, and Rose you make a great point -- would love to hear more from Doms too.

Hey, someone noticed

Now all we need to do is find some Doms
LOL

 

[WriterDom]

I think it's really lame when people bow out, and come back in the next hour. Man Up. If you are out, you are out.

God, I love it when You talk all Domly and stuff.

 

[A Desert Rose]

Well, I for one won't attack you. It's no secret I like to flirt and be frivolous, and I have defended those kinds of threads in the past. But, I really get more long term enjoyment from reading the more serious threads and being able to look at something in a new way. I just wish I had more to contribute.

I do get a little testy when I perceive that someone is being looked down on for not being "as real" as someone else. And that may be my own hang up because I'll never be there myself. But to be honest, I don't get that sense much. I still think most of the people here are very welcoming, and I can ignore the ones who aren't.

But I've always liked you Rose, and Catalina too.

Thank you, Red. I've always liked you, too.

I start my share of silly, fluff threads and most don't go very far. For one thing, as I have said ad nauseum here, my flirting fails online, so I don't engage in it very often. And I like to have fun as much as the next person.

My only statement was that it would be nice to have more Dom/mes posting to serious threads for a change. (A lot of times they seem to digress into flirt threads with Dom-and-sub. And if that is where they are going then it should be taken to PM or IM.)
And it can be called complaining or whining or whatever but I think I am very clear and make every effort to not be passive/agressive in my posts.

I do not have a "specific" question at the moment. But I know that there are threads on the Talk board that would be enhanced with more dominant input.

As everyone knows, I am an awfull flirt, and proud of it, but I am so with you on the fact that constant flirting gets old quick if you do nothing else. Besides, how can you have a really good flirt session without other information to draw on? I hardly post here anymore, myself.

btw... I missed your thread Rose... what was it called?

I know you are not posting much... I have noticed. And you have been missed.

My thread was called "I want to be boss"... it was an article written about dominance.

Thank you James for adding your input, and Rose you make a great point -- would love to hear more from Doms too.

Thank you for understanding that I am not complaining or whining about others who flirt. I'd love to flirt, if I could be as good at it as others here are.

Nor am I complaining that there is not enough Dom/me input here. On the contrary, I am *stating* my opinion. And I stand by it.

 

[Johnny Mayberry]

For those people who thought I was going somewhere...sorry, I never said I was leaving. When I said I was 'out', I meant 'out of things to post about'...sorry for teh confusion, have a nice day.

 

[FungiUg]

Peter Jackson's talking about making "The Hobbit" next

Well, I don't know about "next". He's still slated for doing King Kong next (which personally doesn't appeal to me, but it's his thing...) But yeah, maybe after that?

Oh, I don't know...
