  1. This is a post I did on FB:

    There's been a lot of criticism for why Houston wasn't evacuated because of all of the flooding.....Let me explain this to you all that don't live here, and haven't experienced this:
    This is a no win situation. Houston is built with a lot of concrete, steel, more concrete, and metal. 
    There are bayous that are here, fill up, because they're always full of water, so they fill up fast. 
    Then, what dirt/ditches they DO have, is full of "gumbo", which is a non-absorbent type of clay, that doesn't do much good at all. It's what most of East Texas sits on! 
    Under the gumbo, is usually hard-assed bedrock!! You have to drill down far and deep to get to it in many places too!
    People were warned as quickly as they could have been! It was ALL over the news for a week! This storm was all over the place, and there's no way to predict which county was going to get what rain, 
    There is no way to move 5 million people in a timely fashion, even if you he'd been given 2 week's notice. Most wouldn't have left, because that's just a ridiculous idea!!!
    If nothing had happen and they had moved all those people, all the state agencies would have criticized for that too. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation!
    Besides, for those of you that don't remember Rita, which followed in the path of Katrina.....Houston was stretched to the limit trying to help those poor souls from LA that were displaced, then we had Rita hit!!! People were stranded on the highways, running out of gas, suffering from dehydration, heat stroke, and cars breaking down left and right! Imagine if all of those cars were on the highways, stuck. They would have drown!!!!
    At this time, I have heard on the news that there has only been 5 deaths due to Harvey. With all of the people in this area, Houston, and all of its metros, that is an AMAZING (yet sad) figure!! Extremely low.....
    There was NO way of predicting how fast and full everything got!! There was NO way to prevent all of this. The way the ground is, and the way Houston is, there's no way. 
    After Rita and Ike, there have been MANY improvements on flood control!!! I've seen them. Deeper culverts, runoffs, and ditches. More runoff holding "ponds". People digging their culverts out more, and keeping them cleaner. Trees being trimmed a lot further away from power lines, making sure people don't lose power as easily. People taking warnings more seriously, stocking up, and leaving when they should. No body really jokes about it anymore as far as "it's another false alarm". 
    Neighbors help neighbors. Is there looters? Yes. Are their idiots, absolutely. But it's really no different than any other state with other disasters. 
    You can second guess and criticize all you want, but trust me, as picky as I am, and how stupid I think some people can be, this state's people have done a fantastic job with what they've been dealt so far.
    Don't judge unless you've actually been thru it.......here......in Texas.

     

    Now, this is my addition for on here:

    There have been an enormous amount of people coming from in and out of state helping out and volunteering. Local and state officials have made a HUGE deal out of the fact that there wouldn't have been as many rescues possible without the use of private individuals using their own personal boats and big trucks to get people out! 

    The local and federal government was already to come out and help out as soon as it was possible to do so! There were people going out during the heaviest of rains! They did have to shut things down at night due to lack of sight. Water makes EVERYTHING darker and more dangerous......especially in a state that not only has poisonous snakes, spiders, alligators, and fire ants!

    The amount of people here is hard to fathom. Let me enlighten you:

    see the pic below.......

    I'm not from Texas at all. I am, at times, overly critical and somewhat cynical when it comes to the goodness of some people. However, I am FULLY impressed with everyone's help, the government's response, the lack of prejudices involved (though I've seen a lot of hate such as "that will teach you for voting for Trump Texas!"), and the support of neighbors helping neighbors, and strangers helping other strangers!

    God Bless Texas!!!!

    Same here, Thinking of you also. Have several friends in the area, and not sure how they are making out. Hopefully all is well with them. A couple of the families live pretty close to the downtown area, around the Rice medical center and over close to the Astro Dome , and the NRG stadium to the South. Wish they could send a few inches of rain our way. The whole state of Montana is dry to the bone and needs rain to put out 20 forest fires they have going on right now across the state. Please send RAIN our way !!!!!!!!! 

    I wish I could!!!! 

  3. In the area I live in, is close to Bush Intercontinental Airport. The water has receded significantly! We went for a bike ride around the neighborhood today and last night. What a difference a few hours with no rain makes!!!

    We only lost power for 15 minutes, and haven't lost water at all.

    Thanks guys!

    My wife's family live in Katy, Tex. just a short distance from the res. that the water is being released from. They decided to pack up and move to higher ground.They went to my brother in laws, step son's place, yesterday. They made it safely. But had a few stressful moments along the way. Hopefully their home and Cinco Ranch sub division will be spared. Scary and devastating situation right now. Been glued to a Houston TV. station on the internet the past 4 day's. :o:o

    The news makes some look worst, making it sound like it's all areas, but the local news channels are a lot more realistic and down to earth, thankfully. Of course it IS bad. It really is. My GF has been in this area for 15 years and said that she's never seen it this bad.

    So, ladies! We know that for us, it's all about the clit.....sometimes we want to tell our lovers, "Just hop to it already!" Well, this little varmint can really do the trick for ya!

    This pink critter is a silicone, bunny-shaped sleeve over a strong bullet, complete with those awesome ears that shake and shiver with the vibes, adding more direct stimulation for your clit (aka, your powerhouse!!!). 

    This bunny will be hopping thru your forest with just one AA battery that you put in the base. Now, the cap for the base doesn't seem like it is waterproof because I didn't see a gasket that protects the battery compartment. It's also one that has to be lined up properly to get it to close right, so be aware it's not the normal screw on kind. There's a button on the base that turns it on, and then each time you press it, it will cycle thru your vibe settings one by one. It ranges from low, to a low medium, to a low high, then 7 patterns of vibrations. To shut it off, you can hold the button down for about 5 seconds or just twist the base (for a quicker shut off).

    It's almost 5" long, and designed for clit stimulation, but you can insert it if you want, about 3" or so. Remember never to use silicone lubes with any silicone toys....water-based lubes only.

    I loved the ears buzzing around my clit. Though I prefer a stronger vibe, eventually, I was thumping my leg with pleasure!

    The bunny is a bit loud if you're thinking of maybe sticking in your panties for some walking around fun, so I do believe it could be heard. But, it is small enough to carry anywhere, and is lightweight. Easy to use, simple, and silicone is antibacterial anyway, who wouldn't wan to hunt this waskally wabbit????

    Love the Love Bunny!

    At the risk of attracting the ire of all the women. Too tight has never been a problem. I am not big. Maybe that makes me critical of some encounters. Maybe 2 out of 1 hundred.

    No, no worries!! We want to hear from everyone willing to share!!!

    I have with female friends, one was having some boredom issues in her long marriage and wanted me to go to the toy store with her.

    Several others it's just come up in conversation what we like what we don't. I even gave a toy that really didn't work for me to a friend.

    I only used it a few times and ran it through the dishwasher first!!

    I've done the same thing, especially with toys that I didn't get on here and didn't work well!!!! However, just washing them with warm water and antibacterial soap will kill the germs. Make sure the toys you do give away are CLEAN!!!! I don't recommend it, but it's at your discretion!

  8. Still doing ok!!! There is some bad flooding at the lower part of our subdivision, but thankfully, it has a long ways to go before it reaches us. We're seeing a break in the rain for a bit, but it will come back. They're now saying that it will go away from us in a day or 2. We're able to get to the corner stores, but don't travel very far. This type of situation makes me so nervous because of insane looters, and desperate people. Thankfully, we have 5 dogs (one is part wolf), 2 pistols, a 2nd degree black belt in the house (my daughter), a very protective Momma (me), and several swords.

  9. We live very close to Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH for short), and a state park. So far, there has been road surface flooding, and yards are flooding. However, we stocked up and are good with water, pet food, and other supplies. The front and back yards are flooding, the back more than the front. But, we live in a double wide trailer that, due to HOA regulations, must be hurricane strapped down, on a slab, and well secured 3' off of the ground. We still have running water and power. So far, so good.

    If you are in its path, please take it seriously. This is about the same devastation as Tropical Storm Allison (or Depression, whatever), because the flooding has been so fast and swift. Trust me, it's bad. But we're OK!!!!

    Please check in if you're in its path.

  10. Pink B.O.B. is a growing sex toy manufacturer that has been giving other companies some major competition. Their innovative ideas and products have really set the bar higher!

    I must say that the overall idea of this wand is ideal!!! It's rechargeable, so no fumbling around for batteries. Just make sure you don't lose the USB port plug (which is included) because even though you can charge it in a USB port, it's other end is not like the smartphone plugs at all. It's a small post, that reminds me of the old school style headphones, but smaller. It also comes with a wall/outlet plug for the USB port to go into (like most cell phone chargers do). Be sure it's fully charged before you use it so you will know you're getting the best vibe strength possible.

    The bulbous head is covered in a soft silicone. The neck is flexible, which helps put it gently where you want and need it.

    There are 3 buttons on the pretty blue wand's handle. The bottom one powers it on and off. Easy.

    The middle one cycles thru the different vibe patters.

    The top one is suppose to cycle thru the vibe strengths.

    The toy is slightly curved for easier holding and positioning too. So far.......so good, right?

    This is where my review is not going to be very descriptive of it's pros and cons.

    My test was going really well. Loved the vibe strength.....however, the vibe strength is stuck on HIGH (I think), which is good for me, and the stimulations got both of us off, however, I was disappointed that I couldn't see if it got any stronger, or what. 

    This is where I must brag about TT's return policy!!! Since I'm a Reviewer, I requested a step-up with massagers to try instead. But, with anything else you purchase, you sometimes get things that just don't work, for whatever reason. But, if you DO receive  a "dud" from TT, whether it's something you just got, or you got 6 months ago from TT, unlike other sites where you're stuck with what you have, TooTimid has a 1 year guarantee on ALL of their toys!!! So, if it's a newbie, or a few months old, you contact them, tell them the issue, and they will send you a replacement!!!! I've only had to do this a handful of times (and I've been with TT at least 10 years now!!!). I always recommend TooTimid to all of my friends that talk about getting sex toys!!! No other site I've come across has offered the one year guarantee! 

    I will still recommend this wand to anyone wishing to try one. Due to everything else that worked so well, I'm confident that this toy is well worth the investment, especially if you've always wanted to try a wand out! Plus, because it's rechargeable, you don't have to worry about extra weight due to batteries.

    So, try to get your Bliss on!

  11. What does one do when they're stuck at home due to a hurricane (Harvey)? Why, try out some new toys of course!!!

    silver-bullet-2.jpg&maxx=50&maxy=0

    Little bullets that only have a push button (no cords), are a must-have in any woman's play box! 

    This one is so easy to use!!! With only one little button on the bottom of the base to depress to turn it on/off, it's great for any new to sex toy users! And, since it's made of a hard plastic, it's really easy to care for, nor do you have the worries about lubes messing with it, or anything like that.

    AND it's waterproof, which is very evident with the rubber gasket around the base and unit, to help keep out the water. 

    Just unscrew the base to remove the paper insert preventing battery contact (3 batteries are included) during shipping, screw the base back on, and then push the little black button to start your bullet ride!!

    This toy is about 3.5" long, which is perfect for holding on to, and placing the pointy tip exactly where you want it.

    It only has one setting, which is a medium high, so it's not too strong for those that like a softer vibe, but it won't do much if you're like me and need a stronger one to get off to.

    It's also a great size to use with a strap on harness, for the harness wearer, so she can put it in the labia folds, and rub against it while she thrusts into her lover! Or even use in a pair of panties for that added excitement while driving!

    Where it wasn't so great for me due to the lack of power, I do tend to need a really strong vibe to get clit orgasms from. But, it was a nice teaser.

    I'd recommend this one for some beginner users to maybe try first. It's quiet, easy to use and clean, and it's hypoallergenic (hard plastic). Plus, for storage, all you need to make sure of is that the batteries don't get wet. I always take the batteries out before washing, and try to leave them out to avoid corrosion. It's small enough where it will fit in a pocket, purse, or make up bag, within easy reach!

  12. I had more guy friends earlier in life. Only 3 that I'm still friends with (& only 1 of those I'd slept with).

    For me, my close friends list is pretty small. I have a lot if people I'm friendly with, and could hang out with, female and male. But I tend to prefer male friends due to less drama. 

    Since I'm regrettably in the closet due to work, I can't be fully open with myself, which hinders the wanting to hang out with people from work. I refuse to leave my GF out of as much of stuff as possible.  When people ask, I tell them she's my BFF, which is also true.

  13. I agree. Any contact with genitalia at all is a sex act. Talking about sex, is a sex act. Fantacising can be as well. Anything that counts as one to you, IS. 

    I think it's all become a bit too casual now. Yes, sex is supposed to be fun. And having a fling or 2 is good (so long as you're single). But the act itself can have lifetime consequences that many haven't learned about or care to think about.

  14. Yep. It sure is! 

    I'm changing my defensive mindset to be a bit more easy going. It's still hard, especially after 11+yrs of my ex husband always blaming me or everyone else for all of his issues.

    My GF now gets defensive a bit too. Having pasts can do that. But I calmly let her know I'm just voicing concerns, not criticizing her. It's a huge effort to change, but we're trying, and the effort shows!!
