The New Isolated Blurt BDSM Thread

Hi I'm Elle. And I am delighted to meet you formally

G signed me up, and reads sometimes....and looks at Shank's thread with me . And other threads. I think if and when he posts he will suitably identify him self though

I don't really like any shopping but clothes shopping is worst. What I imagine and what I can find is far apart and other things it all makes me pout. I love clothes and lingerie.....I just hate shopping and buying nowadays.

I probably shouldn't have been so crypitc, especially since I've been so scarce around here lately. I made the lingerie comment because I've been playing with (and pimping) lingerie professionally for about 10 years now... I'm kinda a lingerie nerd, so hearing someone doesn't like shopping for lingerie pings all my "the horror!" buttons. lol

I hate shopping too, but that's mostly because I just don't like to buy anything these days. It's not a question of money, but at some point a couple of years ago I just started to feel weighed down by everything I own and have since bought very little anything. I've also gotten rid of a lot of stuff I had and feel much better.

Now if I only could get J to give up some of his belongings.

Lingerie shopping is stupidly challenging, though. It's difficult to find something that fits well, is within my price range and looks nice. I hit a bra jackpot in an outlet last year, but it looks like my boobs have shrunk a little since then and now the bras feel good only when I have my Period Boobs. So now I have 8 bras that I can only wear for 3-5 days before I get my period. Gah.

I read the Marie Kondo book both very cross at points as my life style is about as far from what she can imagine and caters for, and also nodding enthusiastically.

I do not have photographs. Some of my old clothes are my reminders of the best times of my life. And they are so beautiful. So much more beautiful than what I wear now . I I keep them. but they are safe and sealed in boxes. G and I have too much stuff. Lots stuff we have acquired not chosen. I have an ambition to replace this ethically, and have only things we LOVE in the home. This means I hate to buy. Lots of stuff we are given. This creates a difficulty. To not cause offence, but with not enough room for it all, and yet not everything we need, or want. Last year I took many bags of clothes G bought me ( but do not bring me joy) to the clothing banks. I do not want a lot of things, just enough, but I want the things I have to be beautiful . To make me feel ' this is for me'. I also think it is cheaper to pay a little more for few things maybe than pay less for many things made in a way that my heart is uncomfortable with...who stitched it, and in what conditions?. And yet, when buying I find that I find it hard to remember that is not a value of worth and find I struggle with MY self esteem and place the value on how I value me not other people and then the cost seems too much.

The nearest room to what we love is our kitchen, unfinished, with no floor. And one bathroom, finished. I stand firm about what enters both. . I have the fabric for curtains chosen, but its very expensive. I save for it in a bank account . I cannot decide, curtains first or floor. I think curtains will win. I like them to puddle on the floor anyway.

What is the Marie Kondo book?

I started to get rid of my belongings in a bigger scale when I moved in with J about 5 years ago. We had two of everything and I had to give away a lot of things, and after a while it just got easier and easier. I've kept up with it ever since. I've also moved 10 times in the past 12 years, once to another country. Well, twice to another country, but the other stint was so short that it didn't force me to go through my belongings very carefully. Those have been excellent opportunities to get rid of things as well.

It's also easy to get rid of things because we simply don't have the space for everything. We have one bedroom and a kitchen/livingroom combo, and a tiny bathroom. Enough space for us, but with J's book collection we're starting to reach the limit of storage.

Oh I do love being able to stir the pot now and again.

 

[Endless_Night]

I need to get some sleep. Seriously.

At least 8 consecutive hours, preferably several days in a row. Otherwise, I should not be held accountable for my actions.

Hmmm. Perhaps a little alone time with my vibe would help. Hmmm. Perhaps that would be the socially responsible thing to do. Hmmm....

I don't "know" you at all, but that's not stopping my enjoyment of your new found freedom

Definitely!
Vibing alone is nothing like drinking alone

OMG. For some reason this strikes me as hyyyysteeeerical!

It must be the lack of sleep.

Hee, thank you!

 

[seela]

Agh. We have barns to store stuff in, Though I get frustrated because its not what they are for.


Book link. Its, well, not for everyone. She everyday thanks her hand bag for its hard work. She thanks things she throws away for their service. I find her simultaneously sweet, likeable, charming, naive and infuriating, smug and offensive. The things that rang true, rang true though. The premise works best I think for those who live alone or have clear mandate and dominion over the home. If you share space, as you say, there are the belongings of others to consider, and tidying after them. The idea is you 'tidy once, properly'. But I find I tidy after others who visit ( not in the capacity of guest ) or stay in my home part time and who refuse to learn to put things away rather than just put them down.

Sounds like something I would absolutely hate.

Would that socially responsible outcome be a small matter of overcoming your reluctance to file a fast-track application for Forum Regular status?

But...but...Gianbatissta said you're were no longer accepting bribes!

 

[midwestyankee]

But...but...Gianbatissta said you're were no longer accepting bribes!

I believe this is what she said...

Apologies. So, we are clear, you do not want to see our tits?

and that looks a whole lot more like a question than a statement to me. Such a mistake in reading comprehension seems very much unlike you. It's sounding more and more like the socially responsible thing to do would be to take the battery out of your vibe and get some sleep. Sweet dreams.

I like to think you invested in a brand-spankin' new spoon with your Mod severance package.

Yep, I've seen that documentary too.

I read more about the Marie person. She seems to be popular among the lifestyle bloggers here. I got a good chukle out of one blog entry, where the writer told how the book changed her life and as a piece of evidence she showed that she now stores totebags inside a totebag, as the book suggested.

My best friend is a housekeeper/organizer/help people manage their space during major life change (retirement, starting self-employment, etc) type person. We've discussed the book a bit and while she is totally down for a lot if the book, she said there were parts that just made her shake her head because "that's not how people, people." Meaning a large % of the people she's worked with over the years would feel like failures from fighting their way through some of the author's methods. (She runs a very green, minimize waste sort of business, so the consumerist concepts in the book don't necessarily fit her business model or the lifestyle she's helping clients achieve.)

As for tote bags... I thought everyone stored them inside one another? But I have worked hard over the last decade to only invite things (and people) into my life that fit my personality. It's just more pleasant that way.

So I've been roped into going to Graceland with my mother and aunt (again) in two weeks. I'm mostly indifferent to the Graceland part, but it'll be nice to get out of the house for awhile.

Anyway, does anyone know anything a person can do in Memphis with two 60+ year old women in tow? (Last time, there was a lot of driving around aimlessly and very little actual "doing" anything.) If so, I would be much obliged if you would share.
