there have been a lot of things going on with my life and as I have seen from this tread and from other threads, there are a lot of people that are going through difficult times. In the past few months I have 2 friends die, my ex's mom is dying of cancer, and the more I think about it, there are other people who are hurting on this board. I have decided to kill this thread and I am starting a new one. However I am not sure where to start it. It really is not about the playground nor is it about anything except the GB area. However there seems to be a lot of anti-GB vs PG people.
What I want this tread to be is a place for people to find encouragement and support and love and prayer. I know this is a sex site but you know... life is much more then sex. When reality hits you in the face, you really do not need someone telling you about sex or thinking about sex... you just want to know someone is there for you.
So, that is why I want to start this new thread. To be honest it seems I tend to end up encouraging or giving advice more then I do anything else on here. I was listening to this speaker this weekend and she said something and just kind of hit me in the face... she said, life is too short to just drift through life. Each one of us has been given a gift and what we should be doing is looking for a place for us to give that gift to others.
So I started thinking and the more I thought about it, the more I thought this is what I want to do. Now if you have suggestions as to where to place this, I will create it as I have a name already in mind and I will set it up. Then I want this thread to die and all of us to start posting on the new one.
I look forward to your thoughts and suggestions...

God has created someone special when you were born Spencer...like Dream said "we need more men like you in the world." Compassion is not a forte for most men; luckily I have someone, my IsleMaster, who is not conly compassionate but my companion who I can share most of my feelings, thoughts and life with yet there are times I find certain things I can't talk to him about. Be it because I know how he feels and he's very caring that I don't want to burden him sometimes. He has a lot on his plate with my medical condition as well as my emotional state of mind at times.

I agree and support your idea and will look for and join in on your new thread "the Sheltering tree". For those cliques and people who don't understand, agree and just go around to harrass others threads...well I won't say what I think of them but they have a personal problem. Perhaps they are to arrogant to realize they have personal, medical or life problems and can't bring themselves to open up to others on the thread and make friends and share and offer advice/support/help to others?

Today I go in for my pre-op and will tell them what my regular doc said about my white cell count (it's not your normal range but nothing to be concerned about) so they won't postpone my surgery. I'm a little jittered but know I have to have the surgery or go through life suffering and unable to work (although I may retire after surgery). I know you all will be sending your thoughts and prayers and I thank you all. I will send my thoughts and prayers to you all too.

I'll let you know what the results are tomorrow whether it's a go or no go on surgery. Until then, keep smiling and here's a bit HUGGGGG to all!

Aloha,
Shadow

Re: The New Thread

Well Toni voiced what I have been feeling and I really do feel this is what I am supposed to do.

So... Starting tonight I have created a new thread called "Sheltering Tree"
There is a reason for this name...
I came across a song done by the group - NewSong. They are the same group who did "Christmas Shoes."
Here are the lyrics that sum up what I want from this thread.

"It has been said a friend is like a mighty sheltering tree
A place of refude we can run when trouble come for you and me. Someone who we can count on through the thick and thin.
When the storms of life are blowing there is nothing like a friend."

The reason for this thread is that I want this place to be a place of refuge. For people to come to for words of encouragement, support and prayers. I want eveyone to feel welcome here and that this will be a place that you know when things are hard and difficult for you, you know you can come here for that support.
Some would say that this is dumb because this is just the internet. Yet I would disagree. I feel the sometimes people will turn to folks on line because they know there is safety there and that is what I hope this place will be for you. A place of safety, support, encouragement and a refuge in the storms of life. Just know that in this thread you will find some sheltering trees. And I want you to know that for everyone who comes here to share their heart ... that I will be praying for each and everyone of you each and everyday.
And if there is something that you do not feel completely open to post in the room, then PLEASE feel free to send me a pm and I will keep it between the two of us.
So feel free to post, to share and to encourage and to be a sheltering tree in someones life.

You are one of the most sweet compassionate men I know hon and I think you are right we all need a place like this. I know sometimes I won't post on this thread for a bit but I always stop to read. You have always given me support and encouragement and I have seen how you share it with others as well. I think this is a great idea and will support you however you need it most.


Shadow hon, good luck with your pre-op, I will be thinking of you....
((((((((((((((Everybody)))))))))))

HI Folks I am bringing the Pub back. I want this place to be just about general talk, topics of issues and fun. If you need a place to unload problems and need comfort, then go to my other thread
"The Sheltering Tree". That is the one for serious talk but let's keep this thread open to general and fun and playful chat!
COOL? I think so. I did this because of the serious chats on here just did not fit with lighthearted silly stuff.. and now that the Tree is up, the lighthearted stuff does not fit so I decided to bring this one back...
So.... here is today's topic...

Have you ever had a massage from a professional and what did you like about it or dislike about it, and did it turn you on or just relax you. Oh and if it got kind of sexy... you can share that too.
I will post my experiences later tonight.... Happy posting!

Hi sweetie... I see I'm the first visitor to your "reopening" day. Kewl
I've never had a professional massage... in fact, I've only been given 2 massages in my whole life. *sigh* another area I've missed out on. I can't wait to read some of the experiences of other folks.

**waits patiently**

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: BUMP

Now what was the question?

rofl.. I .... ummmm... hhmmmm... something about massages?

 

[Spenser41]

ok I will go first...

In 1984, I meet someone who was a professional massage theripist. In other words she went to a school and had a license.
She worked out of her house and she had a massage table which is a big padded table that is about wide enough for your body.
She told me to undress and get on the table and to cover up with a sheet. I did and was kind of nervous. When she came back she had some soft music playing with sound effects of an ocean in the background. (New Age) And she was a little flaky in the fact that she was talking to me while doing the massage and saying she was going to push the bad karma out of my body so it can heal. (Since then I found out massages break down toxions in your body and makes them loosen up - that is why you feel lumps in parts of your body that as you massage them they tend to soften up) and one thing I learned drink plenty of water the whole day and night to wash the stuff out of you. I tuned her out and focused on the music and what she was doing. I will be honest I was thinking something sexual was going to happen but it didn't. I have no idea, this was my first time. But I will say this. She found some places in my back, neck, shoulders, and legs that were so sore and she worked them out. I also have VERY HIGH arches in my feet and they always hurt. When she started working on my feet and oh it hurt at first but it went straight to awesome. LOL I almost went to sleep it relaxed me so well. Yes she uses oils and some places use scented oil and do something called aroma theripy. I will say that I had never had one done by a professional but man I felt wonderful and did not want it to end. I had paid for an hour which was 45. Since then the price is close to 60. But it is well worth it.

Now since then I Have had many massages and I also found out the difference between professionals and pros... lol

I will tell that story later tonight.

Question of the day and venting my opinion

I was happily surprised to receive a notice of a posting on this thread! I guess I'm the second person...HI Babydoll!!! Coooool move, dude!

Ah, I've had a couple of massages from a professional (does a chiropractor count?). Anyway, let me tell you it was very relaxing but started off funny since I'm ticklish in some spots if a stranger touches me. But as usual I was told I'm like a brick and he had a very difficult time getting my shoulder muscles to ease up and the poor guy in the first two sessions ended up covered in sweat because he had to really work hard to loosen me up and it was just a little, too.

Did it turn me on? I recall once it did and it was quite a first for me especially with someone other than my other half. I don't recall exactly what happened but my chiropractor and I were very friendly, we chatted about my work and related topics of police work and at one point somewhere down my back he hit a spot and worked on it and I got turned on. Very strange and I felt that way for the rest of the day so you can imagine what happened when I got home My bf questioned me later about the way I was acting when I returned to work since he bumped into me when I did my mail run (we work for the same division but our offices are at least a quarter mile apart) and got home. Oh he wasn't complaining but he wanted to know what happened at the chiro's office. I know he got a bit jealous because of the way he kept telling me (whenever I had an appt.) to not have too much fun and to behave, lol.

To top it off my chiro was single and kinda good looking (I normally don't see men that way since I'm one of those one man woman person) but there was something about his voice that I liked. Not too husky, raspy but well it's hard to describe.

So how about your massage Spenser?
Here in Hawaii they raid the massage parlors now and again because of the shenanigans going on behind closed doors. We have a prosecutor who is dead against any adult entertainment...no lap dances, no back room entertainment, no hookers (excuse me, prostitutes) and he's trying to shut down the adut stores. Go figure he got busted years ago for something dealing with a strip club and then some and now since he's gotten into politics and a high position he's turned the tables around. I feel it was his problem he messed up and his first wife left him because of that but it doesn't mean he has to shut things down. Now they wonder why everything is going underground here?

I'm surprised he hasn't shut down or raided "The Dungeion" we have here...then again it's not advertised and unless you're into the lifestyle and know the people one wouldn't hear or read about it. That would really get my goat and others as well so to speak if he did.

Question(s) of the day: Is it not the choice of the men/woman to choose if they want to (if we were allowed to) freely visit strip clubs, dungeons, hire prostitutes/escorts knowing what the consequences would be if they were married, living with a partner/lover who does not condone such things?

I mean, we are adults, we have a mind, know what our significant others like/dislike and what the consequences would be if one partakes in the nightlife of strip clubs, escorts/prostitues, other adult entertainment and/or establishments and all they have to offer. Does not this give us the right to choose? Does this mean we are criminals by not conforming to the "moral majority" and their ways of thinking how one should live life as they deem to be proper? Also does this make those who work as exotic dancers, prostitutes and in the adult industry a criminal in their eyes?

I just wanted to know what others think. It seems "big brother" is tightening on the things we can and cannot or should not do. That's just my opinion...what's yours?

(Thanks to all who had kind comments regarding the loss of my dog. I miss him, but it was time - past time probably.)

As for massage...I don't have any erotic professional massage stories (darn!!!), but I do want to share something I think is really great.

I work a very stressful job in a small business, but thankfully, the business owners recognize this. They have hired a professional chair masseuse to come in once each month and give us staff members 10-minute massages on the lunch hour. It is a wonderful benefit that costs them very little considering it is only about 1.5 hours total time. Sometimes that 10 minutes of relaxation is all that gets me through the day...I'm getting relaxed just thinking about it.

NICE bosses! there aren't many who would do that, so you have some gems there.

I'm glad to hear you're doing better since your dog's passing. God I know how hard that is... been there more times than I care to remember. whew

Anyway, glad you've found your way here.... stop in often!

What a wonderful business to think about their employees and giving you such an expensive benefit; this will keep employees happy in makes them work better if not feel better too...here it costs a minimum of $75/hour or morel
