Re: Well, I see I've got some thread catching-up to do

Howdy all:

Wow, lot's of thread postings to go over...man, work has sucked lately...it's nice to get a break and catch up on what y'all are up to....

Anyway, about me: I'm 48 (which probably makes me the thread elder..lol), 6'1, 215, burly, long (shoulder-length) silver hair. I'm also an engineer (Kayte...come on down here...we could always use more gorgeous engineers like you!). I'm into woodworking, darts (semi-pro), and outdoors stuff.

Genealogically speaking, I'm a New Zealander who arrived here in '54. My grandfather was a carriage maker in England who decided Mr. Ford's invention was going to put him out of business in '08 so he moved the family to NZ. My mum hired the Royal College of Arms to trace the family lineage back to Guy de Stapleton, who was an aide-de-camp to William the Conqueror in 1066 (her maiden name was Stapleton-Bretherton). Interesting stuff...apparently I'm an offspring of one of Henry VIII's illegitimate kids (which, along with 69 cents, will get me a cup of coffee...LOL).

Glad to hear all of you are doing well. It's raining again in the mountains (thank God). See y'all later.

double ~ You are tempting me. Who is looking for engineers in Asheville? Experience with factory automation, power monitoring equipment, also db information and reporting. hey, Asheville is an hour from Greenville, SC, where SB is. Glad to hear of your genealogy too. I do find that interesting stuff. Have a great afternoon.

Engineering jobs in NC

Kayte:

I'll keep my eyes open for an engineering position in Asheville, but don't know of anything off the top of my head. Have you checked out the BMW factory in Spartanburg, SC? Unfortunately, lots of the older manufacturing plants in western NC have closed, and the politicians are falling all over themselves trying to bring biotech out here (most of which, however, will stay in the Raleigh area, due to the proximity to NCSU, UNC and Duke). Nonetheless, there are a lot of engineering positions in North and South Carolina.....and the climate's a lot warmer than WI!! Tell me more about your career, so I can look around for something more up your alley.

Hey everybody!!

Having a nice day here today. Unbelievable that it was only in the mid 70s around noon today

Kayte - its great about your team!! I tend to be a little more in to the college sports myself. It's a big deal here (oh yeah, Go Cocks).

SB - I saw your post! I haven't checked the site out yet but I will.

Hey, I made my first post on the BDSM thread last night. It had to do with the difference between Tops/bottoms and Dom/mes/subs. No one has really answered me, but that's okay. It's not like its a pressing issue for me right now

SG - I can't guarentee I will be jelous, but I will watch you work at it

Double - I for one would jump at the chance to live and work near Asheville. Such a beautiful place

 

[blancskies]

I suppose its my turn

Hey folks ! Coming to ya from rainy RDU area...I guess that rain dance I did finally worked ! heh <sorry, I made a weather comment AND a hello ! >

Im 41, female, blonde hair just at my shoulders, green/hazel eyes, though sometimes blue depending on what Im wearing and hazel if Im naked lol Im 5'8 or so and working HARD in the gym to declassify myself as bbw ! I think I posted already that Im 1/8th cherokee indian and the rest scot/irish. Apparently an indian farm hand ran off with one of the lovelies in the house and he took on her last name and had 4 children, one of which was my grandfather, thats about the most exciting story from my family

I work for a local dreaded university/hospital as a division assisstant, aka paperwork whore. Mostly my job consists of listening to my boss throw 2 year hissy fits and medical editing.

For Fun (not counting sex ) I have my horse, which provides much needed respite and therapy from my hectic life.

 

[Rocket88]

hmm...

I was thiking I described myself when I popped in, but I suppose I'll do it again:

6'2", dark hair, dark blue eyes. I'm very athletic. I have been a competitoion kickboxer and professional dancer. I am from NC and know my way around.

As for the BDSM tangent we are on, I can offer this suggestion:
I always use my karate belts. They are VERY strong (for suspension purposes, etc.) and are soft and pliant. Never needed to use talc. I like to kiss where the belts were after she's untied and that would not be as fun if there was powder in her sweat. They have never left a mark.

I used a piece of cable (the outer part of a choke cable with the core removed, actually. Hooray for car parts in sex!) and wrapped a thin piece of leather around it tightly all the way, looped it, whipped it into a handle and stayed the ends. It works as a GREAT crop. It doesn't take much of a swing and is pretty quiet for those of you with roomates or kids. Also the bumpy leather is an incredible stimulant on the clit, nipple, et al.

I have handcuffs, since I used to be a cop, but the belts are more personal to me. Also I have whittled candles into different shapes for stimulating different areas. After I use one for a while I light it. We may play with the wax or we may not, but the afterglow of sex is nice in candle-light.

This thread needs more SCBT.


EDIT: And blancskies: lemme know if you want me to spot for you in the gym. I'd be glad to help you get sweaty.

 

[ReBeLBeLLe]

HiYaS Everyone. I hope everyone is doing well in here.

Tops?? Bottoms?? <perks> I recognize those terms...lol.

Evenin' Y'all

double ~ Thank you for the offer. If it is ok with you I will PM the details to you, as I don't want to bore the rest of the people that post here. Please let me know.
I am familiar with WNC as my grandparents retired there a long time ago, and my parents have retired in WNC as well. I remember one time when I came down to visit at Christmas, they had more snow than we did in WI. I do know that is not normal.

Red ~ Nice to hear things are a little more livable in the temperature department for you. Hope your post on the BDSM thread gets a substantive reply. That wax play site that SB, Sir left the link for is very good.

blanc ~ Good evening. Please tell us of your horse. It is soothing to go riding. I do remember that, when I used to do go with a friend.

Rocket ~ Good evening to you. Never thought of using karate belts. Do you mean the one around your waist, or are there other ones you are referring too? Thanks for your other thoughts on the crop you create, and the candles you whittle. Hope we see you back often.

Silk ~ Nice to see you. Hope you drop by often. Have a great evening.

That's just the tip of the sexburg (how cornball is that joke?). I am always doing something different. And yes, I meant my rank belts. They are made from very heavy cotton cloth... not canvas... much softer.

Let me know if you are interested in a demonstration.

Rocket ~ That (sexburg) does get a chuckle. I did have some judo training years ago and so I do know what those rank belts are and I believe they are the same. Thank your for the offer. I have to decline. You will have to discuss it with Snoozbutton, Sir. He is my Dom. Hope you have a wonderful evening.

 

[snoozebutton]

Blanc I hope you don't get too skinny there is nothing wrong with a woman with real hips and all the soft parts. And thank you for sharing about yourself. Rocket what can I say your advice was great. And I wish you luck in your search to find a subbie as good as kayte. But it would take a long and arduous journey to do it. FS nice to see you poke your head in. I must say walking at the mall with My brother I saw another woman with what could best be descibed as a crochet collar. It had many colors and I must say was quite erotic to this Dom. But then again I have a neck fetish go figure. Might have to look into one of those for kayte Christmas is around the corner .

Losing Weight

All I can say is that I've been heavy a long while after having played division one college sports and noticed a huge difference in what I was able to do and enjoy both sexually and non-sexually. Life is much easier on yourself if you get down to a lower weight, within reason of course. It really is hell to lose I realize that, but even as you lose you start to notice the benefits.Especially as one ages it's tougher to lose and the weight exacts a greater toll on the body. The toughest thing for me is giving up going out to eat regularly. I used to travel a tremendous amount and I seriously ate out three meals a day for decades. Now I just have my oatmeal in the morning with my juice and at lunch I throw in a frozen meal(for some reason I tire of the Lean Cuisines and similar, I found I never tire of Ethnic Gourmet or Seeds of Change). This works for me because I know the exact calorie content. I then go to the Y and put in my hour a day. Looking at all the slim bodies and those aspiring towards a slimmer future really inspires me.

I think it's wonderful that you took the challenge and are losing. All the more power to you and don't stop until you are comfortable. It's for you not anybody else.

 

[snoozebutton]

Well headuing to work and my only thoughts are My vacation starts in two weeks and a day lol. I'm glad we all opened up it's nice to know who your talking too. I do feal at home in this thread.

 

[kayte]

Hey y'all

SB, Sir ~ Good morning to You. Thank You for the compliment. That also sounds like an interesting collar that could be worn during the day. Of course I do like the leather one, but it does have, shall we say, limited application. Yup, You are definitely in vacation count down mode. Have a wonderful one today!!!

BTP ~ Good morning. I do understand about what you are saying. I have struggled with weight all my life. I know what you mean about eating out. I actually have some help from the Slim Fast products now that they have a couple of the liquid flavors that are lactose free. Helps to maintain. That gets me to have something that does actually satisfy me through the morning. That and I drink a lot of water, and I don't eat if not hungry. That may have been the most difficult thing to overcome. Eating for emotional satisfaction. And I still have to work on that. I am not going to be a size 3 ( being of German extraction and all with the hips) but I am now just average and that is fine. Exactly we are doing it for ourselves. Of course, it is nice if it pleases others too.

 

[Guest]

Good morning everyone and happy humpy day !

snooze..ahh bragging about that vacation may get you flogged ! lol

Im not striving to be the stick I was when I was younger. No worries snooze, I dont to be there again. Ive actually struggled most of my life with weight issues, from one end of the spectrum (anorexiatype) to now, the other. Its so much about control.

At any rate, its not easy, and I think this time, finally, Im doing it for myself. Ive noticed Im somewhat stiff in the mornings and dont have the stamina I used to have and Im not ready to give up on life ! And yes BTP, its DOES make a difference sexually, physically and emotionally. My children are finally old enough that Im able to do some things thats Ive been missing out on. Thats where the horse comes in , I wanted one ALL my life and just got one when I turned 40. Unforunately she got kicked by her pasturemate and it broke her leg and I had to put her down ... I was pretty devastated. BUT !! in late May I got another one. Anyway, I want to be able to ride on long trails rides and right now Im just not in the shape to do it. SO hence the gym

Ahh the 3rd day of rain has made me introspective today !

Mornin' y'all

And a Happy Wednesday to all you thread-mates!

FS - welcome to the best thread on Lit...you'll love it here!
Do tell us more about your familiarity with tops and bottoms (or lack therof!)

blanc - mercy is not needed; your posts are always a pleasure to read, no matter what name you use

Kayte - I will certainly look around WNC for you and let you know of anything I can come up with.

Snooze - enjoy your vacation, sir....to whence are you headed?

I too have struggled with weight all my life, from my football-playing days at UVA to now. It seems the harder I work out, the harder it is to lose the weight! Now, if I could just forgo the cold ones after work...maybe that would help..<grin>

Have a great day, all!

Now we are becoming a true group thread . Blanc I actually rode a horse once as a child at my aunts house. I remember it was scary to me to be going that fast. And the cowboys made getting in the saddle look easy I found out different lol. Glad you are able to do some thing you love and that relaxs you. Now as to speed PlantHer careful of those wet roads or dry ones at 90 lol. Double16in I'm headed to Portland, Maine for 5 glorious days and I'm leaving the eating smart part at home. I'm going to eat all the seafood I can stand lol. I just hope you won't get to mad at me when I rub it in when the Gamecocks whip those Cavs in football . GO COCKS
