The New Isolated Blurt BDSM Thread

[midwestyankee]

Hmmm. Perhaps you just don't properly appreciate the delicacy of some women's toes. :i

My inner scientist is clamoring for evidence, and is suggesting a many-subject observational test of my sensitivity to the delicacy of women's toes. Presumably the test would be made only on toes that are suitably attached to feet and the feet to legs. Now I jiust need to recruit a few dozen subjects to put this hypothesis of yours to the test. I wonder which forum would be the most appropriate place to post a recruitment ad.

Ooooh now there's the stuff of fantasies!

I'm an old-fashioned girl....this is nearly identical to the plane I grew up in. <sigh>

Lovely. For all their work-horseness, those are still quite lovely machines.

My hypothesis? Look back a post or two and I think you'll find you are the one who first mentioned delicate toes.

I believe you're right about that, but it's clearly the case that you first suggested an hypothesis, shown below.

So, in your considered opinion, which forum might yield the best results for my advertisement for study subjects?

G works from home half the week, but this is a blip, usually he is away all week, and travelling a lot. You are right IMO, things that make the stays comfortable are important. I maintain silk is good for your skin, and some are squeamish about hotel beds and nudity, if I wore night wear it would be natural fibre ( well there are some exceptions...).

Depending no your travel budget its also worth trying to get smaller 'boutique' hotels where the staff might start to remember you. I don't mind different hotels at all, but if one finds one that one loves, its worth sticking to indeed. G prefers 'known' places where he builds rapport easily and maintains it well, i like the best room I can get more

I, too, prefer to be a creature of habit form travel. I always stayed at a charming little boutique hotel when I went to Dallas, for example. It was in a tree-lined neighborhood, yet good restaurants and shops were minutes away on foot. Their restaurant was good, so breakfast was a delight, and the bar was old and woody and tiny. Very comfortable.

Happened to meet the woman, who did not become my wife, today. Ms. H. She was a coworker the first time we met and I was her superior and I was always a professional. But boy, did I wish that I wouldn't be, not in a creepy 'I want to turn her into my nasty slut' way, but in the adorable, silly 'How about a life together for eternity?' I got a new job then and that was the end - especially, as fifteen years ago I knew more about quantum science than women. Fifteen years later my heart still skips a beat when I see her. We talked a bit, it was fun. So, I had to pick the blurt thread, because I couldn't make up my mind, which thread is the right one. I did smile all day, but there is still some melancholy in there and a little bit of self-loathing.

Funny thing, I have a bombshell coworker my wife hates, because she is worried about her being a threat. But I would just go "Meh", if she would approach me. But if Ms. H. would stand in front of my door right now, tell me to give it all up and live with her, I really wouldn't know what I would do and I would hate myself forever, no matter the decision. This is why I stay professional and limit my interaction to tiny talk (less than small talk), because I'm worried that I could actually have her.

Apparently I'm just a clueless guy who's insensitive to the interests of the women in my life. I'll show them. Wait until I show up for the next family wedding in a clown suit.

We collected a big sack full of clothes for the charity shop today.

I both love and hate this chore. Its hard to let things go one has loved or relied on, but its joyful to see clutter go. We need to make space for imminent rearrangements and less hanging space is going to be an issue for a while. G has shirts he has not worn for years and years, I have clothes that do not fit. Its silly to have them hanging. So they are all to be put away or given away.

Next I have to find some more hat boxes and a nice glass shelf, and somewhere to buy cedar wood from.

I feel the same about decluttering.
I've learned to look through things one extra time a week or two later. Suddenly a few of those hard to part with pieces have lost their grip.

Some time near 'meeting' you all I remember sharing my mixed feelings about Marie kondo book/ method. I had recently gone through my clothes and given, many, many, many sack fulls away. . I hated 'the waste'. I have to admit I have missed none of them and have bought very little since. And thrown / made a bag to gift since. Its more than a couple of weeks, but this will be my proper revisit.

I am not getting rid of everything that might make send to others to 'let go of' though. I do not have many photographs, and clothes are sometimes a memory trigger for me. I don't mind if that memory trigger is in a sealed trunk in the attic for a while, but some of them i kept last time I am not ready to get rid of. Others I hope I am ready to ditch this time

I think I learned mindfulness about keeping clothes when going through my mom's closets after her death. In her semi-defense, she was a 2nd daughter, during the Depression, and her older sister was her physical opposite...buxom blonde vs. mom's tomboy-tanned, slender brunette. As a kid she yearned for just one dress that was new, for her. Well, she surely made up for that later in life! I would say that 20% of the stuff in closets and dressers still had tags on when we started sorting!

I invited my niece and one of Mom's good friends (both of a similar size) to "shop" all the closets. My daughter and my BFF's daughter shopped scarves and other accessories. THEN I invited the local Dress for Success branch to come in and take as much as they were willing. TWO AND-A-HALF TRUCKLOADS!!! I've gotten three letters from the president since then, telling me about the ladies they have helped to outfit, the further donations they have made, and the money they made from two fundraiser auctions. I'm so glad that all that hoarding has done some good.

Meanwhile, I'm about to start my second wave of closet purge. My first one, last spring, got 4 large garbage bags out. It's definitely time for phase 2.

Yesterday, at my Fiberista gathering, I sent an entire king size pillow case full of yarns out into the world. They were mostly leftovers from projects, handspinning experiment/samples, orphans that appealed at the time from a bargain bin or six, and things I can't think of a project for. All of it found a new home and happy faces.

Oh absolutely, some clothes are memories and they do get to stay as keep-sakes.
This month we did go through stored clothes and oldest daughter found some things she loves and I found some that I want to use again too.
A few things I didn't feel like keeping, so they got donated. Others got to stay in the box until next year with some new additions.

We have limited storage space and I try to see it as a blessing in disguise.
"We can keep as much of this category that can fit into this box" is a good motto for us, I think.

Our antique wardrobe has arrived, and it looks beautiful. Like its from Venice, and against the wall paper it looks like Brighton Pavilion. I would like to take a photo for C'n'C at least who asked last time when was she not interested in anything but the space is SO tiny I cannot squeeze it in frame

Now the gritty reality. The hanging space contains.....G's shirts and the suits he keeps here, pretty much only. I have stuffed my clothes into the wardrobe I keep for clothes that I perpetually 'should' fit into next month....and squashed in three dresses with G's things. There are shelves either side that are capacious, but not ideal as they stand for storing modern day clothing. The hanging space is also very narrow. Not only were people shorter, they had correspondingly narrower shoulders. the hangers are all at a slant, taking up even more room.


But its SO beautiful.

Well I can almost... almost picture it

If it looks like that it doesn't have to be able to hold anything to bring joy.

I've tried again. The best I can do is the top. .

Its not minimalist. Those with austere taste or taste for chic refined caution look away.

Ohhhhhhhhh!

Hm, I have read a bit about this Marie Kondo.
Am I really the only one who actually does reread books?

Lord, no. When I was young, I read books at such an astounding rate that I didn't have a choice but to re-read because there was probably not enough money in the world to keep me constantly supplied with new books, LOL.

And now, since I've always done it, it's just become a habit. Plus, every time you re-read a book, you notice something that you didn't notice before. Or at least I do, anyway.
