LMFAO!!!! I needed that laugh!!

OK, so, on the way to pick up DD at school, I have to go get gas. I go to the same gas station, right down the road from her school, about 90% of the time for gas, treats, and so on. They're usually at least 5 cents cheaper than most stations around too. I've been going there for almost 4 yrs now. Habit, what can I say? I can say I am a dumbass. Now, I gave myself an extra 10 minutes to do this, thank goodness!! I had maybe about 2 gallons left in the car, so I definitely needed gas soon. I noticed that they were doing stuff to the pumps, and that there were signs on the pumps saying "OUT", so I was about to drive off, when the owner/manager waved at me, and pointed to the pump, nodding. So, yay! I can get gas! Well, I fill 'er up, paying with my debit card, and turn the key to go.....and nothing. It wanted to start, but, sounded/felt like it was choked. Oh shit. Hubby's at work this week, and now my vehicle is dead, and I gotta go get my DD. So, first, I call my FIL to go get DD, and then I get out of my car, ask the owner if there's water in the tanks (since this has happened at this station, but only after Hurricane Ike, which was understandable.), they said no, that there were guys there putting new filters in the tanks, and they had just had a gas delivery. Ok, shit, they JUST changed the filters, and that means that stuff's been stirred up???? OK, so I told the guy "well, I dunno what to tell you, cuz my car was running like a dream before I filled up here, and now it won't even start up, so there is something totally wrong with the fuel". They had workers (independant contractors) working on the filters/tanks, and THOSE workers ASSURED all of us that there was no way there was water in those tanks. I told him that I wasn't trying to call him a liar, but, I had a hard time believing him. He tried saying that it was a bad mixture, but the more I thought about it, it didn't make any sense. If there was a bad mix, the car may have run differently, or burned the fuel faster, but in no way would it prevent my car from starting. Apparantly, since I have tits and a twat, this makes me a twit about cars! Well, ok, so I go in and buy dry gas, which is called "water treatment" down here. Put it in, wait 15 min. and nothing. While waiting, I look up, and notice 3 other sets of people standing around, with baffled looks on their faces. So, I get out, with my notebook I always have in my purse, and ask them what's going on. Same thing, they put gas in, and then they can't start their vehicles either. One car made it about 50 feet down the road before dying on them. I was the only local person there, and was able to direct them to the dealerships closest to where we are, which, coincidently, was the same dealership (they sell 5 different Makes of vehicles!). I got all their names and numbers, then copied it all down for them, so they could have all the info....just in case there was a problem. While writing all this stuff down for the others, FIL comes back with my DD, and I'm writing, he comes up and asks, "So, what's going on?" Which made me cry for some STUPID reason. I hate crying. He's like, well, there's no reason to get all upset about this right now". I told him that that was probably the PERFECT time to get upset, I was sorta in private, hubby's gone for the week, and this is my only mode of transportation. When else could I get upset? Anyway, I hand out all the papers, and talk with the people for a few min. FIL has to go get his wife, so DD stays with me for a bit, and I go in and ask the owner to please inform me as to what was going on. He told me that his store would cover all the damage caused by the bad gas, and to call a wrecker, and he'd take care of it. Before I could say it, one of the other gentlemen piped up and asked for that in writing, so, the owner wrote it down, signed & dated it too. I felt a bit better with that. Being overly-nice, I called my car insurance company (I LOVE GEICO), I have the towing coverage. I couldn't get my car towed to the Subaru dealership, since that was over an hour away, and I wouldn't make it there in time to get the paperwork done, and get a rental from them (cuz by gawd, they're going to pay for my damn rental!). So, my car insurace will take care of the tow at least. I know, I am too nice. But I didn't want some joe-blow company towing the car. I called the same dealership that I directed everyone else too, I'd had my car's oil changed there a few times, and my DH has a truck of the make that they sell, so I called them to see if they could fix my Subaru. They can! The man was very helpful and kind, and was very accomodating. They have a guy that specializes in imports. GREAT!! Tow truck comes (flatbed, since my car is AWD, I insisted). The dealership is mass-billing, so they reserved me a vehicle from Enterprise, and had a courtesy van pick me up to take me there. I'm now driving a Jeep Patriot for now, and feel a bit better, since I won't have any out-of-pocket expenses. I'm going back to the gas station tomorrow, and asking for a refund on the gas too.

I agree with you, Britney looks fantastic! And, even though her performance at last year's VMA's was very sloppy, I also found it harsh that everyone seemed to pick on her for having a little baby fat. I like her as an artist, and like her music too. I think that Hollywood pays too much attention to string bean actresses, and that there's a HUGE stigma for women in that field, and in modelling and singers as well.

Hi there and welcome. Please check out the forums, because there are lots of interesting posts here. If you're interested in purchasing your first toy, go to the Sex Toy Reviews, where myself, and a number of other real life people (for example, I'm a SAHM of one, married, 35, and love sex toys, so I am also very picky about what I like) review all sorts of different sex toys, giving honest and open opinions and experiences, without sounding "porno-ish", and, we aren't PAID spokespeople, so, we are totally objective, honest, and thorough. If you have any questions on a specific toy, please feel free to ask that as well. And, since I have recieved MANY packages and envelopes from TooTimid, I can honestly say that nobody's ever asked me what I keep getting. Small, single, or DVD items, are usually sent in manilla bubble lined envelopes. Boxes are that of either UPS, US Mail, or for larger boxes, brown, regular boxes. The return address is "Atlantic Innovations". So, the stuff won't scream "LOOK AT THIS BOX! IT CONTAINS SEX TOYS!! OVER HERE!!! OVER HERE!!!"

Jill Kelly Productions brings you this 1 hour & 33 minute film full of girls getting what they want; and what they want is cock, lots & lots of cock, the best cock there is. And, oh yeah, they definitely get lots & lots of cock in this film!! Jill Kelly not only produces this film, but is in it as well. You get an all-star cast, starring Cindy Crawford, Alexis Amore, Randy Spears, Star E. Knight (I don’t make these up), Evan Stone, and many others are all in this exciting film. There are 6 scenes to choose from, each with it’s own little theme, usually accompanied by some “pornish” music. There’s a couple scene, where they’re in the bedroom, and it’s almost like you’re watching an “almost” everyday couple having sex. Then there’s one of 4 scenes where there’s more than one guy giving it to a lady! Jill Kelly herself gets licked, banged, fucked, reamed, fingered, and whatever else they can find to do by 3 other men, all by a pool. Hey, if you’re the Director of a porn, you deserve some special treatment, right? There’s a great SUB/DOM feeling to one scene, where it’s only 2 people (MF), and I love love love her string bodysuit, chains, collars, masks, and other assorted fun stuff in that scene (which is my favorite). You can go from sort of mild, to really wild, all in the time it takes to view this film. The only scene I didn’t care for was the last one, involving 2 guys and a girl. This scene was more “fluffy” and very stereotypical of what most people think of when they think of porn, but that girl does have some mad oral skills! We have 3-somes AND 4-somes in this film, and the girl gets ALL of the attention of the guys! It was rather refreshing to see the women more in control, even with the 3/4-somes. One woman got to have all this adoration at a time! Oh, yeah! At the very end, there seemed to be some kind of glitch, like they were going to put in a new scene, but changed their mind, it was kind of weird, but it was just a blip, so no big deal. You also get a variety of extras, like photo galleries, trailers, and teasers too. I give it 3 out of 4 Tyger Paws. You GO girl!! October 2008 DVD of the Month

Well, no, it's not the most romantic, but, you didn't forget it, did ya? So it was very memorable. LOL Thanks for sharing your story!

Icicles Mind Blow-Her I just can’t say it enough, I just LOVE glass toys! And this toy is taking an honored place amongst my growing glass collection! Measuring at only 5.5” long, and about 1.25”, this iridescent coated dildo, with a blue helix pattern blown in the middle of it, a base, which can be used as a handle or allow it to stand up. I don’t think that this one would fit into a harness, since the base is only at the bottom. The shaft slightly tilts up as well. All in all, this toy is a beautiful piece of sex-art! It’s definitely phallic, so, this one can’t be out on display incognito. People will KNOW what this item is. It has a phallic head, and 3 ripples, like skin, at the top, where the head flows into the shaft. So, yeah, it kinda screams PENIS! LOL So, I wash my toy, which, BTW, can be used heated up with hot water (do not put it in the microwave, this can heat the toy unevenly which can cause it to crack, plus, the iridescent paint may crackle/crack in the microwave as well), or put in the fridge to chill. Either way, this toy has loads of possibilities. Washing it in warm, soapy water, I didn’t even let it dry before trying it out. Grabbing some lube (doesn’t matter what kind, since it’s not porous, and easily sterilized), and a bullet, I teased myself for a short time, and then slid the dildo over my labia, which at first, was a bit of a shock because the dildo was cold. Whoo-hoo!! Slowly warming up to my body heat, I used the dildo and teased myself a bit more. Ok then, we have excitement! Sliding it in was a breeze, and I could slightly feel the head’s ripples, but not much. Then, using the base, I thrust the dildo in & out of me, with my bullet lovingly buzzing on my clit, & brought myself to several orgasms! Yes, this toy definitely BLEW my MIND! 4 outta 4 Tyger Paws, tail straight out, and claws outstretched!!!! Get Blown Away!

What I meant was that you really should be careful. If her parents are the kind that would freak out at someone else helping their daughter plan to have sex, with whatever intentions they may be (helpful in your case), and you could get into trouble. Or, if they found out that she had sex, she could very easily say it was you, so as not to get her BF in trouble. And, I'm sure you're thinking "Oh, she'd NEVER do that to ME", but, trust me darlin', many women lie to save their BF's ass, not thinking of the ramifications of their actions until much later. And, it is true that many states differ. Some states will not allow a medical caregiver to disclose any treatments, IF the patient specifically asks them not too, then they usually can't. Some states allow kids to make their own medical decisions. Like, for instance, in Maine, a child over the age of 13 can refuse treatments, such as refusing medications that would help behavioral problems, even if the parents insist, there's nothing the doctor can do, the child says NO, and so they can't treat. I'm sure in cases of life or death, yes, they can disclose. Just ask Froggystyle, she's having very similar issues with one of her kids. It's not up to you to find out those things, it's the job of the perspective patient. Chances are, she would be best off at a Planned Parenthood. Not only will they provide what she needs, but they can educate her on things that can happen, STDs, pregnancy, and so on. Don't get me wrong, her asking for help is GREAT, however, she needs a more educated person to explain how things are, and are sure of the answers. You've asked some great questions in the past, and I am in no way downing you, but you are young, and still are pretty unaware of what's out there, what can happen, and how exactly it can. So, her going to PP would really be the best option all around, IMHO.

There are many sex toys for men, and, you have a variety of almost everything available, from different materials, shapes, sizes, and colors. There aren't as many sex toys specifically for men as there are for women, however, many women's toys can be used on men. Like, for instance, if you enjoy anal sex, then dildos can be used on either sex. Bullets are great for anyone, lubes, creams, lotions and other stuff as well. Granted, toys aren't for everyone, and not everyone loves toys, but you can't say "it's not for me" if you never try it!

I have a feeling that this question was in reference to the 6 function vibe that was the freebie, that stated it arrives in bulk packaging? Bulk packaging, if anyone wants to know, is when the item doesn't come in its own box. More like in a plastic bag, wrapped in bubblewrap, since, when they bought it, it was in bulk, and just came in one HUGE box full of the toys. This cuts the cost of the item down substantially, as well as the expense of shipping for the shipper. I've gotten several of them, and haven't ever had a problem with them. Of course, I clean them really well with my liquid antibacterial soap, but I do that anyway, with all my toys.

Yeah, we live in a subdivision, that have all these deed restrictions. They tried giving us shit cuz my mother's travel trailer was on our property (first on her lot then ours so she could have power), stating that "trailer houses" weren't allowed. I called them and told them it was a TRAVEL TRAILER, NOT A TRAILER HOUSE, and it was for our own personal use. They told me they sent those letters to everyone that had a travel trailer because of some jackass that was pissed cuz he got denied approval on bringing in some old trailer houses to rent, on his property. I told them that if they pulled that shit again, I'd sue them for defermation of character, harassment, not only the board, but all involved in it as well. I have yet to hear anything else about it. They picked on the wrong Yankee bitch to harass. Many committees/HOA's, think they can bully their residents. This was the case for us. I also pointed out that, in nowhere of all the paperwork then sent, since they had broken down the "blocks", & their restrictions, was my block listed, and, in fact, in checking with the county, deed restrictions were NEVER filed on the block we live on. They were like, "oh, uh, well....there's just a lot of copies floating around everywhere, we probably gave you the wrong ones". I pointed out that their copies weren't even legal, cuz none of the blanks were filled in, nor was the county seal on it either. They didn't give me a legal document, just some bullshit paperwork that isn't even filed with the courthouse, and they could kiss my ass, and that if they continued, I would definitely contact our lawyer about the harassment. Yeah, go ahead, try to intimdate THIS Yankee bitch!!LMAO

So, I got this idea from Lifetime's The Starter Wife. This "older" couple, maybe in their late 60's or so (hard to judge that stuff in Hollywood), where, the man, who's probably a bit older than the wife, gives his wife permission to have an affair, and will be fine with it all, so long as she doesn't fall in love. The wife's reaction was "Either I am the most unattractive woman alive, or you really don't care for me anymore." The man's response was that they were at different stages in their lives, and he was comfortable with the lack of sex. So, what would YOU do if your spouse said you were free to have an affair, for whatever reason?

Yeah, that was a bit on the extreme side. Normal use of pussy pumps won't produce that effect, unless you want it to do so, and make it do so. Pussy pumps can be very, very exciting!

Yes, it really does exsist! Have you ever had to deal with it, or, for the men, have you ever felt it? For example, my exhusband was my FIRST waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in high school. We broke up for a long time, while I remained very close with his little sister. I had some serious relationships thru the years, before I got back together with my ex. The last BF before I got back with the ex, was, well, very well-endowed. When I got back with my ex, his little sister ran her mouth, and divulged that my last BF was extremely hung (she found out thru our girl talk, c'mon! We all do that!! LOL). Thru our entire 4 yr relationship, my now-ex, kept saying how hung my last BF was, and made it well known how jealous he was, no matter HOW much I told him that size doesn't matter, and how that, if I had wanted to stay with him, I would have. It was very tiring. So, have you ever dealt with something similar? Have you felt this way men? Has it killed a relationship? Damaged one? Let us know!

Welcome to the forums! I hope you like it here!! I LOVE your Jareth avatar!! AND it's funny too!! LMAO

I must say that you're a good friend, and yes, she is too young, and you could get into some serious trouble, if she decides to protect her BF, and make you the source of attention, if this gets out of hand. (Yeah, yeah....I know, "she'd never do that" and blah blah, but those things happen everyday.)That said, condoms, lubes, and stuff, absolutely! Planned parenthood is a fantastic idea, and I don't believe that the parents have to be informed unless their insurance is going to be billed, due to confidentiality and all that, even if she is 16. Best wishes!

6 Function Jelly Vibrator I just love California Exotics. Their products, in my opinion, just keep getting better and better! I get this vibe in the mail, & was like, “um, ok….”. The base is very thin plastic, with only one button and one indicator light. Plus, it’s jelly. Jelly requires a bit more care & cleaning, since it’s porous, & also likes to “grab” at things like hair & lint. Many toy users wrap up their jelly toys with a condom, so help prevent bacteria from having a chance. Me? I don’t do that because I wash all my jelly toys before AND after use. Even though I pull them out of the toy box knowing I cleaned it the last time I used it. I also place the toy on a baggie or something like that, so stuff won’t get on it. I store my jelly toys in their original plastic bags, so as not to have them resting on other toys in my box. If they rest on other toys, they can get warped or “dented”. Many jelly toys have a really strong “rubbery” smell to them when you first open them up, & can take a while to dissipate. I was very happy to only have a very, very lite odor with this toy, almost non-discernable! And it almost went totally away rather quickly, with just a few hours of airing out. Washing it with antibacterial soap (I always use the liquid soap to get in all the cracks & crevices that many jelly toys have), making sure not to get any on the controller, since this toy is NOT waterproof, and allowing it to air dry, & I was good to go! So, I was very skeptical, yet eager, to try this toy. The patterns on this phallic toy were different. On the head, a skin-like texture has lines all thru it, swirling & waving. Then it has a little ridge where the head and shaft connect, and the shaft reminds me of wind-blown water, with all of the small ripples in it. This toy’s shaped realistically, but the texture & clear pinkish color also helps not make it so realistic. The total length of this toy is over 10”, however, don’t let that intimidate you, because the base takes up about 4” of that! So, you have a little over 6” of insertable length to please yourself with. At its widest, this toy is 1.5” in diameter. So, you can feel full, yet not stretched out to maximum capacity (in most cases). It takes 3 AA batteries, and the power behind the batteries is very, very strong. I was VERY impressed with even the lowest setting! It’s not that loud either, which is great if you have roommates/parents/children that you’re worried about hearing your extra-curricular bedroom activities! The jelly really insulates the vibe’s noise well. I used the toy to caress my labia & clit, really enjoying the strong vibes. Insertion was a breeze, & it felt really great inside. I loved the texture, feel, & vibe strength, inside AND out! I was really glad I gave this toy a try, even though I was kinda “ify” about it. I give this toy 3 out of 4 Tyger Paws. Think PINK!!

Consider me singing to you Happy Birthday in the Marilyn Monroe voice baby!

DD is going as Hannah Montana. I use to dress up every year for Halloween. Now, I go back to my "roots" LOL and wear a witch's hat when taking her trick or treating. Last year, someone asked me what I was, and I said "really tall". I'm 5'9", and was wearing boots, which made me about 6' tall, so that worked. If they can't get that I was a witch, then too bad! LMAO I got a REALLY cool witch's hat this year, it's purple satin, with some netting around the bottom and fake spiders on the netting, and on the top are 2 satin roses, with some irridescent black feathers.

Thanks Randy. Yeah, I'm pretty vocal. LOL!! I've also gained a lot of tact thru the years (yes really). However, I think that the problem lies with his ability to hear what he wants to hear. I mean, how can I repeat the same thing for 6 whole years, and him not hear it? Especially when HE'S the one that starts the conversations? I've explained to him all the problems that I had, financial reasons, even my desire to spend quality time with our DD, the horses, other critters, AND get a job! I mean, he's just not absorbing it. I keep saying the same things over and over again. I've even threatened to make a recording of my reasons, so I won't waste my breath on it anymore (I'm seriously considering really doing that). We've been together long enough where he should know that, when I make a decision, it's made. I never, ever swayed and said "well, maybe". And I was totally upfront with my views on that, my "religion", my strengths, as well as my many faults (such as sucking at not folding and putting away laundry and I hate hate hate to cook!). He's a southern dude to an extreme. He married his first wife because she got pregnant with their daughter. He's usually dated women where they'll sway their minds just to please their man. I had looked at him when we decided to get serious, and told him if he wanted a "Yes sir" kinda gal, he was soooooooo looking in the wrong place! LMAO He definitely can't say I didn't warn him! LOL Hell, when I found out I had herpes, I told him that I wouldn't blame him if he wanted to just leave, and I wouldn't think anything bad about him, and I meant it. Perfect duck out (this is while we were dating, no plans for children at all). I understand how excited and proud he was being able to impregnant his women at all, since, as a child, he had some serious medical issues, that required 2 surgeries *down there*, and was told that he'd never be able to have children. But, I'm not going to make myself and our family suffer because he wants a boy, or just to prove that HE CAN. LOL I've tried being reasonable, it's gotten me very upset, angry, and direct when I answer him. Now, at this point, I've given up on being nice at this point and tell him that if he can't hear what I am saying, or like it, then, that's on him, and he can make his own choices if this is where he wants to be. I love him, don't get me wrong here, cuz I know I'm sounding like a hard ass bitch. And it would really hurt me to loose him, but I've loved and lost a few times, for various reasons (usually cheating on me), but, I would go on, and have told him so, especially for the sake of our daughter. Wanna hear a funny? His ex wife's the same way of thinking, she was happy with just the one, and hasn't had anymore, and their DD will be 13 this Feb!! LMAO

How utterly stupid is this??? Brown lawn means jail time By Jodie Tillman, Times Staff Writer In print: Saturday, October 11, 2008 BAYONET POINT — On Friday morning, Joseph Prudente put on a pair of shorts and his "Grandpa Gone Wild" T-shirt. He took off his wedding band and put his heart medication in a plastic Wal-Mart bag. Then his daughter drove him to jail. Grandpa had time to do. His crime? He had disobeyed a court order that he sod the lawn at his Beacon Woods home. His bail? Zero. Prudente, 66, must stay in the Pasco County jail in Land O'Lakes until the required sod work is completed, under a September court order signed by Circuit Judge W. Lowell Bray. "He's in prison for God knows how long because we can't afford to sod the lawn," said his sobbing daughter, Jennifer Lehr. Prudente has owned a home in the deed restricted community since 1998. The covenants require homeowners to keep their lawns covered with grass. Earlier this year, the Beacon Woods Civic Association took Prudente to court after he failed to install new sod on his browning lawn, which had withered after his sprinklers broke. The association had already sent letters telling him to resod his front and back yards by certain dates. In an interview at the jail Friday evening, Prudente said he thought he had made a good financial hardship case to the association: His adjustable rate mortgage went up an extra $600 a month. Wachovia repossessed his Toyota Scion. His daughter and her two young children, who had fallen on hard times, moved in with him and his wife, Pat. "To me, keeping the house is more important than the grass," said Prudente, a retired registered nurse from New York. "I just ignored them." He ignored them, too, after the association filed a complaint in court. He ignored a court order in May, signed by Bray, giving Prudente 30 days to sod the yard. In June, the court also awarded the association $795 in fees, which included a $645 attorney's fees and a $150 fee for "an expert witness." By September, there was still no sod. Bray found Prudente in contempt of court, but said in his order that Prudente could "purge himself of this contempt" by doing the required work within the next 30 days. That time expired Friday. "It is clear to the Court that the ability to avoid incarceration is well within the Defendant's grasp," Bray wrote. Representatives of the Beacon Woods association expressed regret Prudente had landed in jail. But they said it was his own fault. "It's a sad situation," said board president Bob Ryan, who added that the association had followed all the correct procedures. "But in the end, I have to say he brought it upon himself." Lawyer Thomas Gurran, who represents the association, said in a statement that the association had "just wanted Mr. Prudente to comply with the lawn restriction." He added that the contempt power of judges is essential to the system. "Many orders and judgements … would be absolutely meaningless if they could not be enforced by a judge's contempt power," he said. "This case is an example of what happens when someone defies an order entered by a judge in our country." Prudente's family said the case had gone too far. Pat Prudente said she and her husband knew they had chosen to live in a community with restrictions. "But they shouldn't have this much power," she said. Back at the jail — where the population is 1,132, well above the 782 capacity — Parente said he was being treated well. He has no criminal record in Florida and said his stay in Land O'Lakes was his first time ever in a slammer. What comes next? He doesn't know. "Should I go out and rob a bank? Then I'd be back here," he said. "But then I'd get out on bail."

Thanks for the sweet words Suzy!

I hope you have a great birthday anyway! The older you get, the lesser birthdays seem to be a priority, which SUCKS!!! LOL. Make a day for yourself!!! *MUAH*

When I was in my 20's, and prior, I would save everything that I thought would be like a souvenier of the past. I cleaned out a lot of that, thru time, whether it was due to it breaking, or just got tired of having it. I keep Christmas cards for a year (in with the holiday stuff), then dump them. I do keep letters and cards. I kept a lot, then threw a bunch away about 10 yrs ago, which I kick myself for. Now, I keep that. I keep lots of photos (saved to disc), and I do keep a lot of DD's art & school work.
