I don't think that my technique will magically get worse in the 15th year of marriage. I can guarantee that she hasn't been waiting in eager anticipation of an orgasm.*

I think I miss the logic.

You bill over 2500 and make the partners rich, so they look at their draw and have a lot of orgasms - then they kick you a paltry bonus which you can then use on hookers and cheap booze. Is that it?

Only if you are the type who conflates having sex with getting fucked.

(Thankfully, neither of us is.)

We don't give up. We just look elsewhere.

No, I can attest that she hardly ever waits.

WHEREAS,

1. It is beastly cold now with the forecast predicting -20F late next week.

2. My feet are cold even in the summer.

3. I went to REI (outdoorsy gear store) begging for warm socks.

NOW THEREFORE, I'll be wearing Smartwool socks until summer.

They have "liners" that are like trouser socks, casual socks and hiking socks. I pooh-poohed the claim that they don't itch because I generally can't wear wool next to my skin. But they don't!!!!

I'm posting at 10:30 at night from home because I'm huddled around the warmth of my laptop. Gas company decided to tear up my sidewalk and work on the gas main. They kindly knocked on my door when I was in the shower this morning (I have lots of windows, they knew I was naked) and informed me that I needed to turn off the heat (and hot water) because they were going to shut off the main.

Fast forward to this afternoon, where I race home to get there before six so I can let them in to turn everything back on. I find the gas guy getting into his truck right after leaving my next-door-neighbors, and he tells me that his buddy will be coming by in a minute to relight all the pilot lights and get the gas back on. I tell him I have to be somewhere at seven, and he assures me that his colleague will be there before then. Seven comes, and no one's shown up. I'm late for my dinner date, and I race through that to show up to a cold house.

The gas company informed me when I called that someone came by at 7:20, but no one was home and they'll "try to have someone stop by" sometime tonight. My fish bowl is wrapped in blankets (he's huddled at the bottom of the bowl) and the thermostadt says it's 58 degrees.

I knew I should have had the fireplace repaired.

You must be closer to the sun. It was -18 this morning, here, ten miles away.

I wonder if REI is open at 10:43.

Gas company guy showed up. Heat is back on and fish is showing signs of life. Thermostadt now at 63. Gas company guy was a very nice man, and he and I discussed the various goings on around town because of the Superbowl. He informed me that he has a side business that he expects to do very well. We agreed that pretty much anyone with a business here in town should be doing well for the next two weeks. Considering my irritaion with the gas company in general, this was a very good conversation. If you're in Houston and you need someone to come out to your house to mess around with the gas line at night, ask for Fletcher.

Also, the laptop was surprisingly good at giving off enough heat.

Yeah, but as soon as the mercury goes up, I block out all memory of the morning low. It's a roaring +5 now and not supposed to get way back down there again until next week.

You've been reading Slave's posts again, haven't you?

I would have thought you would bring your dinner date home to keep you warm. Not sure what you all could have done for the fish -- maybe put the bowl on the laptop?

Sex doesn't work anymore.

With the economy in a funk and record sales down for three years running, even established artists are sexing it up -- no doubt encouraged by edgy industry executives.

The problem is, the public just doesn’t seem to be in the mood for it, and the recent mediocre album sales by Spears, Pink and similar artists may reflect a classic case of mismarketing.

I quote this part only because Evanescense rocks!

One of the hottest breakthrough groups of last year, rock band Evanescence, is fronted by Amy Lee, who is appalled by the crass marketing of some pop stars. “Talking bad about Britney is like beating a dead horse; I won’t even go there,” she says.



sex is so over

I so agree. Britney comes across not as sexy, but desperate for attention.

I anxiously await the demise of the Howard Stern show. But as long as the likes of Slave and the skanks he fucks exist, I fear the Stern Show will never end. It will continue on like a case of societal herpes. It will infect us until we die.

I bet it's Sebby's favorite show.

I appreciate your interest. I have Italian sausage. I will personally prepare it for you and spice it up just the way you like it.



Please note that the sausage is a little bigger in real life.

Hey Stupid Fucking Sock
