My gosh people. I just couldn't stand it anymore. I was getting claustrophobic under all that posting. Nothing lights up a Firefly like the Urge, eh?

Oh, and shipping off a hasty Hello to Traveler. Rarely in the same place at the same time and I don't want you to think I don't think of you now and again.

And Penguin, you're one of my favorite entertainers. Hugs to ya, Pal.

Old thread: http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=25083

Please carry on. We'll find a new imponderable somewhere along the way, I'm sure. We always do.

Hey Jonny were we making you uncomfortable? But these things should be talked about, you know! Openness, it's what we're all about.

And I am going to bed, just as soon as I can get 'Sex and Music' out of my head. (Great David Wilcox tune; give him a look some time)

For me, it is friends. Living, breathing, goin' out to dinner/shop/see movies friends.

A few years ago, Husband and I went through a serious rough patch, and we separated for a few months. In the years leading up to that separation, I neglected my friendships just trying to keep my head above water. I was simply unable to take care of my infant son, my house, work 40 hours, and deal with my dissolving marriage AND keep friendships alive.
Some friends understood, and stood by me...but most didn't. They were simply too concerned with their own lives/children/jobs to be able to be there for me. Those relationships are irreparably damaged. I have online friends, here and on other sites I frequent. I have a few girlfriends across the country I talk to via phone or email now and again...but it isn't the same. I focus now on the Husband, the Tidbit...but I know that face to face friendships are missing in my life.

I am trying to reconnect with some of these women.
But somehow...this has really made me realize that maybe they weren't my friends to begin with.

re: Emotional separation.

I haven't been in touch with those things (emotions) in years, and I cannot specifically remember when it started. Caused more'n a few problems in my marriage as well. I really just don't feel anymore.

Time to go home and go vote now, been a long day.

I guess proritising how we dole out our heart should be first and foremost. I am guilty of trying to help a friend to the nth degree and am currently still suffering in fiscal and emotional debt for it. I am always amazed at the folks who are able to manager their home, family, SO, work, school, etc, etc pretty much every day.
Sometimes reconnecting after some of these people realise how selfish they were is good and bad. Good because your hard work is finally justified. Bad because deep down some of those folks use people up, not just use them. Give it a try, just be cautious.

ADD: Have fun at the polls RIMG. And please be grateful for what you have. Appreciate every moment spent with the folks you love. I say this because I'd give alot to have my own family and miss the ones no longer with us.

CMH- I'm glad you had a good experience at that high school. Most of my kids grow to be great successes( I define that as having a job and a life that makes them happy) I always worry about the ones who don't make it and I feel awful when one of mine falls far enough to end up in jail. I don't think ANYONE is beyond help. Sometimes I am not the one who can help them , but there is always hope:)...and I don't think you're beyond help or even so far gone. You just need to find a way to behappy and work past some of the anger you have from previous damage:)HUGS

NV- I think the word toxic applies to those people who bring no goodness or joy into the world and drain the life from others. Sorry you had that in your life:)HUGS

I honestly hold (very little) ill will towards the folks who weren't there for me. There's only so much someone can do for someone else. I'm okay with that. Since Husband & I reconciled, I've made some new friends...but they don't have the history I had with my "old" friends.

They weren't there when we were 19 and trying to sneak into the 'Vous (The Rendezvous Inn, a famous Univ Maryland watering hole). They don't remember that breathless phonecall I made at 23 when I met this great guy who is now my Husband of 12 years.

History has its good and bad points. But I can see why you'd like them back as frinds. Mindy is one of those friends, but I still question her stability as a friend. She wants to have all the fun friend get togethers and memories for the future, but she hates it when I state the truth. I told her the other day that she just needs to stick it out with her husband regardless if he's there all the time or not. But his career (Navy) takes him away from home at least 200 days a year. She wants to move back to Fallon, and it ain't a bad idea, but keeping her family together should be more important. I want my friend, but I also want her to have the stable family life she never had as a kid. Ultimately its up to her, but I hope she can keep it together.

Thanks MSG. There are a few people I'd still like to extinguish out there. One of our dad's nephews was a real piece of work. Neo-Nazi, abusive drug addict. If I gauged or dads harshness against his Dad was near to a saint. I can take abuse but I won't abide by the abuse of others. That man was evil to his children. As hard as it is to say it, I wouldn't mind spending 27 cents on him.

On a brighter note, I'm off to lunch. See y'all later.

Interestingly enough, when I was 18 (revealing my age, here) I was legal to drink in DC - only 7 miles from U-MD, College Park where I went to school. Couldn't drink in Maryland, though. I was "grandfather claused" in DC - the drinking age had just turned to 21.

The 'Vouz isn't what you think. It's a nasty college bar and the beer was/is so thick on the floor that you had to have "Vouz Shoes" - Shoes that you didn't care about because it was so gross in there! -

Maybe the reason that I feel the way I do is that I am so very disconnected from my own emotions. I have love for Ami and my boys, and that keeps me here at work and also at second job. I love her but we are not 'in love' anymore, does that make sense to anyone? I don't feel fear or most pain or sorrow or even joy. I do feel happiness from time to time. I think I am just a seriously messed up person, though I am ok with that.

I feel you, brother. I've got the exact same difficulty. I haven't been legitimately angry in six years, and what it took to touch that off was somebody shoving me onto an active table-saw. The worst I can manage nowadays is irritated going on miffed.
Of late, I've been talking to councilors and suchlike, trying to suss out the root cause of this emotional disconnect. Right now, it's come down to ADD, anxiety, depression, and a touch of agoraphobia. Not or: and. Which is somewhat disconcerting.

NVG: The closest I've come to weeping in recent years was when I got (totally unexpectedly) welled up reading the end of a book I'd gone over at least a half dozen times before. I was shocked. Of course, it was a good bit of writing, to reach through my husk and grab my atrophied soul and give 'er a twist the way it did. You just need to find your medium. Prose has always been mine.

One more wardrobe malfunction and I am joining a nunnery and teaching catholic school while wearing turtlenecks and long pants!!!!!!!

Ok So I am currently wearing a skirt ( not that short about 2 inches above knee) and a boatneck sweater. I am still putting things away and cleaning my room, but it's dress for success Tuesday and we're supposed to wear office level attire. So I'm up on the shelf leaning out trying to hang something and slightly bent. One of my students( who has problems with impusiveness) blurts out " hey your panties match your skirt." So I right myself as the other boys shush him and he appologizes. I get down and start working on something else and ( I have ears like a bat and hear very well) I hear another one whisper to the first kid..." if her panties are red they match the bra" and I realize one of my bra straps is showing because my sweater's askew from all the moving things.... :embarrassed: SOOOOOO Embarrassed may need to crawl in hole! Am rushing out to purchase oversized sweatshirts, turtle necks and pants!

Okay MSG, malfunctions aside, it really don't matter what you wear. The boys are always looking at the girls. It might be advisable to hide a little more as your boys are always watching, but like I said, they're always watching.
Did I mention that they are ALWAYS watching.
So regardless, I'm sure the mystery of whats under the sweater will continue no matter what.

And I don't know who pinned the "pinch me if you like my underwear" sign to your back, but it *definately* wasn't me.

Honest!

Tuesday, November 7, 2006 9:29 PM (P)

LOL Thanks a lot guys...never too busy to tease one of your own:) At this point I'm just hoping it was the strap showing and not that the neckline was gaping for the bra view. Seriously I am going to have to invest in some dress pants and higher necked sweaters and such.

CK- I have about a million ( seriously 20 or so) sets. I like matching and Victoria's Secret loves me for it. Now go out and turn yourself over to the sales clerks and then you can be matching too:)
DTH is referring to a kid making a comment about my clevage and getting pounded by my students. Unfortunately I happen to be fairly well endowed, yet strangely tiny everywhere else which can cause some problems ( and I look all disproportionate and such too...as my dear friend Chris loves to joke I look like a pixie lollypop, and yes I did smack him silly for it)

Anyway, hopefully this isn't going to spread and become a topic for the kids... I am so buying turtlenecks today!

:deletes stuff because I was feeling all whiney. That's not a good time for me to post:

Sexiest song right now is "Ache for you" by Ben Lee. It's so full of longing...but you probably realized that with the song title and all.

MSG: That's why skirts are just evil unless they go all the way to your ankles. Malfunctions are just too frequent otherwise.

As for a bra strap...pshaw. That's nothing. Straps are always in danger of showing.

And I, too, am jealous of matchy-matchy bras and panties. I can never get over the practicallity of nude colored bras. And bras just too expensive to buy in all the fun colors. I tell ya though, it is an exciting day when I've got the black bra and panties on. Makes me feel sexy from the get go.

Heh, yeah, I'm with you on the "pixie lollypop" thing, MsG. I wear a 30G bra size, so I have to order from specialty shops, and it's difficult to find more than one or two styles that fit and that I like the shape of. And they all come in just nude or white. Pink if I'm lucky.

I'm extra-small on the lower half, so that's the one thing I can find at Victoria's Secret (they don't carry band sizes smaller than 32, or cup sizes bigger than DD). But if I wanted to match, I'd have to wear nude or white underwear, and what fun is that?

Well if we're talking about undergarments:

Laurelin picked me up a Pack (yes us guys have it real easy) of Boxer Briefs a few weeks back and she didn't pay attention to the colors. Well needless to say there was a Baby Blue pair in the pack. I stepped out of the bathroom after my shower and my daughter saw them on me. She just pointed at them as started laughing. She said "those are silly panties daddy". Guess she didn't like the color either

Yeah, I've checked out BareNecessities but I haven't ordered from them yet. I've had pretty good luck with http://www.figleaves.com/us/

Thankfully this is a family trait -- my two younger sisters wear the same size as me -- so I've got plenty of people to gripe to about it, hehe. We're all thinking about a reduction after we're 30/after we're finished having kids, whichever comes last. But I was talking with on my sisters the other day, and we realized that even with a reduction, we wouldn't be able to buy off the rack anyway, what with the 30 band size. Of course, getting rid of the extra weight and back strain might be enough of a reason to get the surgery. Ah well, I've still got a couple of years left before I'll even think seriously about it.

Btw, what are the imponderable topics we're, erm, im-pondering at the moment? I couldn't quite catch up with the last huge thread.

Honestly, MsG? For me anyways, size does not matter. I saw a gal just yesterday that I had to do a double-take on because they just weren't there. Well, barely there. I mean quintuple A. And ya know what? They wuz just as fascinating. It's the "otherness" of it all.

But I do understand that it's nice to be looked at in the eye once in a while and I really try to keep that in mind, at least when conversing. Plus it's just not a good idea to ogle if'n the wife's right next to you...

He says his wife cringes every time she sees them.

EDIT- see I don't care if my husband ogles...I've even pointed out women I saw that were his type:) I figure he's married, not blind. Now touching is right out, but looking...hey I don't figure it makes me any less attractive if he finds another woman hot:)

MsG - I trust you believe me when I say I'm giggling with you rather than at you - I could never be brave enough to try to be a teacher even without worrying about that. IMO maybe you just have to laugh it off to yourself as well as other people.

Rugbug - whine away! We all care!

CaliforniaKaylee - I'm very close on your bra size so I feel your pain (can't tell how close as identical US and UK terminology means different things). Try the pretty-coloured sets on www.bravissimo.co.uk if you can shell out on shipping. At least things come in colours other than utterly boring and, occasionally, in non-full-cup styles...

Hi Eloisa! I loooooove Bravissimo, though I haven't ordered from them yet. They have the best clothes! I'm moderately able with a sewing machine, so I sew a lot of my clothes (like bikini tops) and take in other things I buy off the rack (like button up shirts). But man, I may have to give in and pay the shipping rates for some of Bravissimo's stuff. (Btw, according to Figleaves' UK site's international size converter, I'd be about a 30F in UK terms.)

Emotional disconnect is an interesting subject. I find myself quite disconnected. I have a boyfriend but only see him on weekends as he is too busy during the week for us to get together.

My two closest friends live out of state and have families to raise so we are not in touch very often. The only friend I have nearby is a busy single working mother and we don't get to see each other often. I have drifted apart from most of the friends I did have. I don't blame anyone, it just happens.

The hard part is that I find it difficult to make new friends as I get older. What is worse is that I am a loner by nature and do not mind being by myself. This can be a very damaging socially. I do have many wonderful online friends that I cherish very much but it is not quite the same is it.

I beat you, then - I'm a 30FF or a 30G in UK terms depending on the manufacturer. I currently have about £170 ($300) of stuff sitting in an online shopping basket of theirs and am resolutely not going to checkout... if you can sew, you rule. It's such a useful skill.

Vinterdraken - to be 100% honest I've never seen the appeal of cybering. Granted, I've never been involved with a guy who lived a long way from me, nor have I wanted to experiment that way, but even so... a computer feels terribly *impersonal* in that situation.

Edited to add; Whimsicalnbrainpan - you and I are evidently twins separated at birth, except that I don't have a boyfriend. The times that the disconnecting thing bothers me the most are when I don't feel bothered by being disconnected... I don't know, maybe it's society bombarding us with messages that loners are unacceptable. Not nice for those of us who are that way.

I am still putting things away and cleaning my room, but it's dress for success Tuesday and we're supposed to wear office level attire. So I'm up on the shelf leaning out trying to hang something and slightly bent. One of my students( who has problems with impusiveness) blurts out " hey your panties match your skirt." So I right myself as the other boys shush him and he appologizes. I get down and start working on something else and ( I have ears like a bat and hear very well) I hear another one whisper to the first kid..." if her panties are red they match the bra" and I realize one of my bra straps is showing because my sweater's askew from all the moving things.... :embarrassed: SOOOOOO Embarrassed may need to crawl in hole!

Hi back to ya JonnyQuest.

The emotional unattachment of people. I have had to remove myself from people. When I sobered up, some of my friends would not support me. Even some of my family were less than sympathetic. My sister does not understand why I should behave in such a way, but watching people get intoxicated at Christmas is not much fun. So it goes beyond people in romantic relationships. Sometimes you need to separate from family as well. So I sit by the TV and watch Christmas movies like "The Lemon Drop Kid" and "A Christmas Story" to keep me company. So count your blessings this year.

I would discuss bras and panties, but you women are doing a pretty good job. And your more knowledgable than I. I prefer black.

Would I try it? No.
Would I like it? Heeell no.

Seriously. Why would I do something like that? It's like phone sex, but even less connective, because in the former, you at least have a voice to react to, rather than simply words in a chat box. I'm looking for more connection with people, not less.

Bah. Sometimes I think computer geeks really need to get out, once and a while.

Eloisa and JQ: A while back I saw a book that was featured in my book club catalogue called The Loner's Manifesto (if I remember the title correctly). It was all about how being a loner is not such a bad thing and that we are more valuable to society than most would have us believe. While I agree with that and would never want to change my loner nature it would still be nice to have someone to talk to and hang out with.

Traveler: I'm sorry about your friends and family. My family had to distance themselves from my Grandmother who is a raging alcoholic. My Mom and her sisters just couldn't watch her destroy herself anymore and said it is the bottle or us, she chose the bottle.

Whim: I'm a bit of a loner too. I've been living in this town for about four and a half years now and have had a real hard time meeting new people. Most of my friends are online (browncoats and others) and that's good to have them to chat with, but when you want to actually hang out with someone, it's not quite the same. I'm sure you can relate to this as well - just one of those many things we have in common.

Am rushing out to purchase oversized sweatshirts, turtle necks and pants!

LOL! Li'l Sis - I did something much worse this week myownself!! (I was in Haven at the time, so a couple of you might know this) I am house-sitting for a new client and I thought that you basically couldn't see anything from the car park at the back of the flats... so when the dog was scratching to come in, and I'd recently got out of the shower and managed to get my bra and undies on, I went to the back door and let her in... at the rather loud sound of the door scraping on the frame I realised a young, male driver (was still on 'P' plates so probably between 18-21) had turned around and was literally getting the full view - I think his jaw actually dropped!!

I was so embarassed I just had to run to the computer and tell Phoenix, Nico, Q & Silence all about it!!

Thank goodness I decided to go with the lack bra and matching black undies rather than the pink undies I almost put on!!

*hugs her Li'l Sister in solidarity!*

Edit: Oh dear - now I feel like I've just hijacked the thread with my own silliness... believe me it did happen though!

Ah... where were we? Vinterdraken! Hi!! Cyber Sex...

...not so very long ago I'd have thought that there could be nothing sounding more like an oxymoron... but the power of the written word has got me hot and bothered more than once in recent times so... although I haven't, I might consider it... yeah! Why not! It would be better than nothing if it was with someone you hope to be with IRL, or better-still actually already have a relationship with then it would be enhancing, rather than substiuting for the real thing in the long run? So no - but I would seriously consider it with the right person!

Hey - I keep kissing you guys all the time, don't I? Imponderers

...see??

EDIT AGAIN: Oh yeah - FMF

!! I was just wondering if I could be Lady Magdalena? I think it lends an air of dignity to me ... somehow - now that I am hanging out with Kings, Grand Visiers & ... uh... Court Jesters... and if my Li'l Sister is going to be a Duchess of Kitty Cats... welll?

It's not that bad, if there's nothing else to be done. And it is an interesting perspective to have in a way.
I've never had a huge circle of friends, but I am very close to the ones I have. It takes a lot of energy to be close to even a few people, so I don't think I could survive knowing a doxen people and trying to find time for all of them. Even you shiny people here take a pretty big whack of my time ya know?

Speaking of being emotionally detached. When I was younger, I was very good at repressing my emotions. I have grown emotionally. Now when I look back on those days, I affectionately think that I was Egyptian Royalty because I was the Queen of de-Nile.

Hey, guys, thanks for been so helpful and supportive of all of the well endowed women.

Cybersex - Not really. I like the topic of sex, and I like talking and writing about it. But to just write: "Oh, baby. Yes. Oooo, aaaah." That just seems a little silly to me.

Good morning to all American Browncoats; good afternoon to all European ones; good evening/goodnight to all Asian and Oceanian (sp?) ones. Phew!

Maybe the Duchess of Kitty Cats is not in charge of cats but of organising their owners/pet humans to operate to their satisfaction?

(Completely off topic other than the reference, but, special request; if any of you US-based people live anywhere near Hiram, OH or Cleveland, OH and are considering adopting a cat, a university student on Lj is urgently trying to find homes for three or four four-month-old kittens - http://www.geocities.com/puchiko22/cats.html for a little information. Apparently the kitties will be kicked out by the weekend by their temporary foster carer if nobody wants to adopt them, and the student involved can't find a shelter to take them. I suspect any adoptees would need experience in socialising cats as they appear a little skittish. The student is insistent that they be indoor cats from now on.)

Anyway, back to impondering...

I had an odd thought the other day. Given the choice between one very nice experience and two experiences that are nearly but not quite as nice when added together - quality rather than quantity - who would go for what? I would personally rather have the one experience but was feeling very odd for doing so. Hm...

Jonny- oooh a pole. I know how those work:) Had a friend in college ( back when I majored in dance) who took a lot of classes with me and she was a stripper. She used to teach us stuff before class started. It was so much fun. We even went to her club and "tried out"( only without the actual clothing removal, just the dancing)for her boss.

OK so what shall we ponder today? We were talking about first kisses earlier, so how about first love??

No serious details or anything. First love was the boy who lived down the street ( turned into an Army Ranger. We're still friends and he's the greates guy:)

mornin' Imponderables.

Got a bit of a late start on the threads today, and leaving early, so I am going to make the most of the time I have. I'll try to sum up from what I have read, which was very amusing and entertaining.

Breasts - I know they are heavy for you gals, but lots of fun for us (not to mention useful for nourishing young). I understand the 'unfortunate' claim MSG, and as my brother says, "More than a mouth and a hand full is too much"

Wardrobe Malfunction (no, I am not picking on you MSG, just happens to also be from you) - I wish I had teachers in my middle/high school who were half as attractive as you are. I think all the old teachers go to Columbus to finish out their careers before they die. There might have been one in all six years, but she never dressed as you do. :)

Cybersex - I have done it, and it can be fun, when it is the only option. Typing out sounds like 'ooh' 'aah' 'that's the spot' etc is silly, but writing longish descriptions of actions is good. A bit like interactive erotica, which a lot of people like to read. Phone sex is definitely a step up because the voice definitely adds a lot to it.

EDIT: First love - girl I met through DeMolay (junior Masons, in a way). One time she called and professed her love for me in return, then a month later called to tell me how she had been drinking and smoking and to tell me that she had lost her virginity the previous night. Huh. She also had a thing for my brother.

Not much to ponder and it's going to be another bloody busy day. Just popping in to say hello and give love!

Back for a moment. Yep, I have stuff of my own to work out with; namely a heavy bag in the basement. Thought about taking my camera down there and trying to get some action shots. Maybe some other time.
First love? Like, real love non-crush love serious do anything for them love? That would be my former best friend. Looking back on it, I'm not sure why I loved her so much for so long. It kind of seemed to define out relationship for a long time though, because I was so devoted to her and she got used to that, but that crazy devotion faded after about five years (hey, the heart can only take so much unrequited-ness) and oddly that's when we stopped being such good friends. A year or two later is when we stopped speaking entirely. Very sad in a lot of ways.
Well, I suppose I should make the drive to work and pick up my check. I don't wanna. I've got enough cash for the moment and driving out there is such a pain, but I gotta do it sometime.

Hey all.

Can't stay. Lots of work and I have a cold so I'm feeling very achy, miserable and sorry for myself. My throat is killing me and I have to teach a word expert class tonight. I want to go home! *sob*

A silly animation I put together recently...

*sigh* Better get back to work...

*wanders off to make a cup of tea*

Not working tonight, or I would. 'Sides, the bank is right next to work, so it's best to go when they're open too, or I have to make two trips. I'll try to be quick

Gar, not enough time for a thorough post, so I will just say this:

Fisrt Love: nothing as of yet. Not had a first love either. (damn my awful typing)

Has FMF gone? drat. I wanted a title.

DTH, hope you feel better soon.

Apparantly, Stripping and pole-dancing is supposed to be a really good workout.

I have just about had it with poo teachers, I really have. MSG, fancy moving to Cheshire, UK?
Ohh, BTW, MSG, thanks for the advice on my blog, I have some lemons for next Saturday.

But, my day got balanced out, because I got an interview for the college I want to go to! And, The Macho Flirter (as he shall now be known), got me invited to a mutual friend's party! Score!

and now, finishing with my new found sign smileys, I shall say to you:

Ask not what you can do for your country, ask what's for lunch?.

Are we stable?
*looking around nervously*
I have not been able to post much today...it freezes, and I lose everything...

Ok, let's see if this works...

Hello to all I have missed!

MSG...first love...hmm.
I guess the first thing I thought was love happened in middle school. I dated a girl for two years, we were as serious as you could be at that age...and my heart hurt when she and I broke up.
The first love when I knew what was going on did not happen until college, though. Oddly enough, it is a case of un-consumated love, so I am not entirely sure y'all would count that. I met her in the Drama department, we became fast friends and worked well together on several shows with her as stage manager and me as assistant, and I also directed her in her first on-stage role. She was a daily inspiration to me, and I was one for her as well. Somewhere in there, we fell in love with each other...mine was probably stronger than hers. Our world views were just different enough that we probably would not have lasted very long as a couple. She ended up marrying one of my very close friends. I still love her and she still loves me, but we were not "destined" to be together. We're still in touch every now and then, and she is the one person I would drop everything in the world for.
So, does that count? First real love is still a love in my heart and mind?

Tristan - I do believe that counts bub.
