I know I will regret this..................

[bridgeburner]

Hello Bridge, I loved reading all of your post you certainly have a knack for making small details read like Epics. Love all the yummy little detail and observations. Even the big hair comment...........smiles

I am not sure you can actually pick where someone is from by their Accent alone in Australia . The range isn't as broad and I suspect accents here have more to do with socio economic groups you reside within more than City of State etc.

I am more than a little intreagued as to what your occupation is Bridge and this is not just based on your comments but your writing style/deliverence as well

Whew! Glad to be enjoyed otherwise I'm just an annoying blabbermouth. ;->

On first glance I suppose my job sounds intriguing, but it really isn't. It's a pretty standard office occupation in accounting. It just happens to be within the adult entertainment industry so people tend to think it's wild and crazy. There's a certain amount of exposure to things outside the norm, but all in all it's pretty much like any other office job I've ever worked.

I've tended to be a jack of all trades master of none. I got my degree in theater arts, so I've worked in food service both burger flipping and waiting tables. I've acted and managed theaters and written scripts and directed for miniscule amounts of money. Banking, bookeeping, database administration, purchasing, telemarketing, copy-editing, light carpentry, costume construction, FX make-up, stage make-up and standard film and glamour make-up and hair, scenic painting, house sitting, sales, back-up singer with a band, survey taker, all kinds of customer service and office admin crap.

There are about a billion things that I wandered into and started training for or education in --- I changed my major 5 times in college and took the Theater out as a default because it's what I had the most credits in. A degree in Philosophy would have been more useless since my tech training in theater has actually paid my rent on several occasions not to mention having come in handy with home repairs.

The latest plan is to quit volunteering so much of my time to editing and see if I can actually get paid for some of it. There are thousands of college students here in the LA area willing to pay outrageous sums of money to people to point out to them the fact that they graduated from highschool without learning to read and write well. I don't need outrageous sums of money but a little extra would ease my mind a great deal this year.

My, how I do ramble on. Perhaps if I typed slower I'd talk less.

How about you? You start all of these intriguing threads but don't think it hasn't come to my attention that you get us all to spill our guts and then smile charmingly and glide away. ;->

(note the bait and switch ploy of the chronic over-sharer)

Miss Jadefirefly I have some news for you . Are you ready ?

I happen to think your Mom rocks !!! Sorry there are no two ways about it, she knows there is more to life than shifting bits of paper from one place to another and takes the time to 'play' with a fish she is alright in my books. Her irreverence for the fact she may look a bit 'out there' in this pursuit only adds to the immense charm I am sure she really has in many areas of her life. Your post also shows clearly how much you love and cherish her. You made me miss my Mom more than usual with this post Miss Jade..........thank you .......smiles

VIVA LE FISH

*giggle*

I read this out loud to her, and she giggled. She really is fun, and eccentric. We have our clashes, I think all families do, but in the long run she's an awesome mom. Her favorite hobby at the moment is glass fusing: instead of stained glass, which she's also very good at, she has a kiln, and she cuts bits of glass and places them together, and basically melts them into place. It's pretty cool.

She's under a bit of stress at the moment -- she's in the process of getting approved and scheduled for a gastric bypass surgery to help with her diabetes and blood pressure (and weight, obviously) and my dad is sick, they think he may have shingles. I mean, that's something that people just don't get much of anymore! Plus she has guardianship of my toddler age son, and my sister who lives with us is having issues with her counseling sessions, work, and the medications her psych has her on. Needless to say, sometimes playing with a fish is all she's got during the day at work to make her laugh!

And right now, she's offering commentary on Sasha Cohen's outfit. (Figure skating; I've got her addicted. ) What an oddball.

Hello Jades Mom .......waves

You have your own kiln .......grrrrrrrrrrr jealous here.....I learned to do Tiffany work about 8 years ago though it annoys me . I so hate building jigs etc etc to get things precise. I have a fused glass peice with believe it or not fish on it from a young Artist who lives on Hamilton Island the turquoise colored glass base to the collage/design has a milky opaque look to it. Glass is great though I was always drawn to the types of glass that are almost impossible to cut with any precision.

hmmmn the skaters mmmmmreally you have to wonder how such a graceful sport can look soooooooooooooooo crappy at the hands of the people that design their costumes .....laughs

ohh nearly forgot .....hey to Miss Jade

waves bye bye take care Jades Mom say hi to the fish for me please.........smiles

I rarely get asked for money. Usually when I am, I am asked for money "for food." In which case I have sometimes actually given them food instead of money. The dirty looks they give me when I do that are priceless! I want my nachos back too bitch! LOL!

Oh boy we are in big trouble now...........

Is S&M sex with my husband kinky?
A woman wonders if enjoying ‘punishment’ is a mental illness. If that’s the only way you get aroused, it could be a perversion, warns Dr. Gail Saltz
Updated: 11:21 a.m. ET March 23, 2006

Q. Recently, I discovered a side of myself I never knew existed: submission. My husband and I have begun to live a dominant-submissive lifestyle. We have educated ourselves on the topic and are very respectful to one another. This is voluntary submission on my part and should not in any way be confused with domestic violence.

I am a professional businesswoman, have been married 10 years, and have three children. But as far as submission goes, I find satisfaction waiting on my husband, whom I do consider my master. I enjoy being punished (not violently) and serving him. I have never felt more "normal" in my life. But I am extremely aware of society's views about "kinky" relationships. Do I have a mental defect because I live — and enjoy — a lifestyle that most people would probably find repulsive?

A. As long as there is no physical injury involved, and as long as you are not letting this dominant-submissive behavior pattern spill into your relationship outside the bedroom, I say this is perfectly fine. It is not unusual for people to have sadomasochistic fantasies. Women often have fantasies of being raped or forced to have sex against their will. Not everyone enjoys acting out these fantasies. For some people, though, it is highly erotic to enact a fantasy involving dominance, submission, sadism, or masochism. It is not a mental illness.

If no one gets hurt, there is no problem. However, if someone is forcing this role-playing upon a partner who doesn’t want to engage in it, or if it leads to physical injury, then it is a problem. It can also be a problem if you are sexually aroused ONLY playing submissive and dominant roles, or if you are so obsessed with this activity that you think about nothing else. In that case, it could a perversion. If your relationship moves in either of these directions, beware.

But you are not describing that kind of relationship. So have fun. You are lucky that you and your husband speak the same language when it comes to this kind of playacting.

An important issue, however, is your children. Information about your sex life — even if you have the blandest sex in the world — is not appropriate to share with your children. You should be entirely discreet, not because of your sexual practices, but because knowledge of your sex life can overstimulate your children’s imaginations. Don’t leave sexual accoutrements around the house, and don’t have sex with your bedroom door unlocked. You don’t want to take the risk that your children will see or hear your activities.

There is another potential problem. If you and your husband relate to each other in a submissive and dominant way in your daily life, then your children may identify with this type of behavior. A daughter may feel that women are expected to be submissive to men. A son, on the other hand, may believe that men should dominate women. In the real world, servants and masters are not great role models.

Dr. Gail’s Bottom Line: It’s perfectly fine for a couple to be sexually excited by dominant and submissive roles and to enjoy this as part of their sex life, but I caution you to keep this behind closed doors.

Dr. Gail Saltz is a psychiatrist with New York Presbyterian Hospital and a regular contributor to “Today.” Her latest book, "Amazing You! Getting Smart About Your Private Parts" (Penguin), helps parents deal with preschoolers' questions about sex and reproduction. Her first book, “Becoming Real: Overcoming the Stories We Tell Ourselves That Hold Us Back,” was published in 2004 by Riverhead Books. It is now available in a paperback version.

See, but just how crazy do you have to be for it to be a problem?

I mean, yeah, if you're ending up in the emergency room or are in danger of losing your life, then it's a problem. If your kids' lives are in danger or something, then that's a problem, but if you're just going to have what somebody else thinks is a shitty life then what's the big deal? Lots of people have shitty lives. That's life. Most lives are average most of the time. What exactly is it that all these fucking people want from us? To be happy and joyous and perfect all the time?

Why can we just be a bunch of mildly fucked up regular slobs the way we were meant to be? What's wrong with that?

I mean, honestly. There are thousands of people with wide asses and bad teeth working menial jobs with average IQs living and loving and having babies and buying American and watching TV and being perfectly content with their normal, everyday average lives. Leave them alone. They're fine, Dr. Saltz.
