Random Rants

[MissBarbara]

‘Wishing’, at least to me, implies a desire for the actual event to really occur.

I wish my Peruvian would be more interested in role-playing bondage and nonconsensual scenes.  I fantasize all the time about nonconsensual sex, but I don’t ever wish it would really happen.

Yes, I meant "wishing it to happen" in a role-playing sense.

Being "taken forcefully" (or "forcibly") is a relatively common female fantasy. After all, the cover of virtually ever romance novel every published strongly implies this. But that, of course, doesn't mean that these women wish to be actually raped. I'm recalling this from a study I read several years ago, but many of the more common female fantasies involve some sort of contextual roughness, power, control, or force. This includes things like being tied to the bed, being taken standing up against a wall, and things like that.

You should bear in mind that we're talking about female fantasies here. Every women is different, and what's taboo or risque or "outside her comfort zone" for one woman might be a typical night at home for another. Most to the point, they're her fantasies, and not yours. Of course, you're fantasies are (presumably) perfectly legitimate. And, from what I've read here on KB and elsewhere, many men are in the same position as you, having fantasies that cannot or will not be fulfilled in your current relationship.

But focus on her, what things she'd like to try, what new avenues she'd like to explore. And do it in a way that makes her feel comfortable discussing these things with you. It's quite likely that she has fantasies she'd like to explore, but hesitates bout taking the first step out of concern for you, and what you might think.

To repeat the exhaustively-repeated phrase, "Communication is key."

I haven’t a clue what she fantasizes about or even if she does.  Menopause has her disinterested these days.  Lately we’re only intimate when I’m very persistent and she gives in often out of pity.  Which is perplexing, because she’s just as passionate, noisy and responsive as before, just takes a lot of convincing to get us started?

I’m going to try asking about her fantasies this weekend.

A Facebook rumor about white vans is spreading fear across America

Terrifying rumors initially propelled by Facebook's algorithms have sparked fears that men driving white vans are kidnapping women all across the United States for sex trafficking and to sell their body parts. While there is no evidence to suggest this is happening, much less on a national, coordinated scale, a series of viral Facebook (FB) posts created a domino effect that led to the mayor of a major American city issuing a warning based on the unsubstantiated claims.

[MintJulie]

I get an email from the school system about once a month about a suspicious van being reported by students or parents.  It's a fairly large city and rarely is the suspicious van near the elementary school my little one goes to.  
Once, about a week after a suspicious van was reported to residents, a man made a wrong turn down a dead end street that ended in the elementary parking lot.  Parents blocked him in with their cars.  Police were called.   The school went on lock-down.   Some poor little Italian man just made a wrong turn and had a bunch of crazy moms yelling at him that he was going to jail.  He was one street off of the residence he was meaning to go to.    I'm just glad they didn't pull him out of the car and beat him up.

Better be safe then sorry I guess, but geez.

I admit I'm scared to send my babies off to school. There have been problems I won't go into. 

In my experience there are as many, if not more, predators in schools than outside of them. Because there sure as fuck were when I went to school. 

[_priapism]

Professor David Finkelhor runs the Crimes Against Children Research Center and has authored several books about child homicide, abductions and sexual abuse.

“Child kidnapping is a very rare phenomenon to start out with,” Finkelhor said. “We estimate that there are maybe 100 or so serious kidnappings of children in the United States (each year).”

He bases that number on a series of national surveys and studies that go back as far as the 1990s, including the National Incidence Studies of Missing, Abducted, Runaway and Thrownaway Children.

And for context, the federal government estimates nearly 74 million children under the age of 18 live in the United States.

“The most typical kind of kidnapping is of a teenage girl for the purposes of sexual assault,” Finkelhor said. “Sometimes -- very rarely – [it’s] for the purposes of abducting them into sex trafficking, but even that is very rare.”

Human trafficking is a very specific crime, and I don’t think the data supports a conclusion that it is endemic.  Hope I am right about that.

The DC area snipers, something I actually lived through, were reported as driving a white van.  White vans were being stopped all over the area for weeks.  They were eventually arrested in a dark sedan.

Wifey: Hey, white girl, did you know Miss Myanmar is gay?

Me: So?

Wifey: So you're always saying only hot women say they're gay and not lesbians, like me and your mom and stepmom and Summer.

Me: So she's hot?

Wifey: Yes.

Me: As hot as you?

Wifey: I'd say no.

Me: You don't think she's as hot as you because she's not Japanese.

Wifey: I didn't say that. I'm just happy to have more hot women who say they're gay and not lesbians.

Me: What is the fucking difference anyway?

Wifey: Stop swearing! And Lesbians are either the hot porno kind, or fat and ugly ones who ride around on motorcycles.

Me: You are such an egomaniac. Too hot to be a Lesbian, and even some pageant winner isn't hotter than you because she's not Japanese.

Wifey: Having rational conversations with you is pointless.

Me: Then marry the gay pageant winner, she can tell everyone how she's not as hot as her Japanese-American wife.

Wifey: I think we're done talking for now.

Me: You'll be back in 5 minutes.

5 minutes, give or take, later.

Wifey: By the way, I am not an egomaniac, white girl.

It has been a while, but I have a rant to make.

My wife likes to use air fresheners in the house, to improve the “smell of things.“

I, on the other hand, do not think it’s healthy to live in a cloud of chemicals (Sorbitan Oleate Emulsifier, Isobutane Propellant, Propane Propellant, Propylene Glycol Solubilizer, Sodium Phosphate Corrosion Inhibitor, Steartrimonium Chloride Stabilizer). And I don’t trust Johnson & Johnson to do anything right by the consumer.

So we’ve had this ongoing quarrel for years. Recently, however, she upped the ante. She bought what is essentially a Glade scent bomb. The spray is in dispenser set on the timer, which sprays Glade throughout the day. She has this thing set on “once every nine minutes“ which equates to 160 sprays of Glade per day.

I have a sensitive nose, sensitive lungs, and this is annoying the absolute fuck out of me. I’ve turned it off. She turns it back on. I take out the batteries, she replaces them. I’m looking at Amazon to see if I can find a shit scent. Maybe the house smells like a pile of “caca de toro” she’ll stop this idiocy.

 

[staci]

Do you per chance fart a lot?

[Littlebit]

Do you per chance fart a lot?

Great question. 

[_priapism]

Do you per chance fart a lot?

Seldom, if ever.  I think it may be the dog.  Wifey seldom does housework.  So I don’t know.  It’s not me...

Update:  I asked her and she said that it is a fragrance she used at home in Russia, and it smells “like home” to her.  How can you argue with that?

Someone installed them at work two years ago in the bathroom.   I hated it, as did a couple of others.   We had a company meeting on it and they were taken out.   They're the worst.

I am waiting for scientists to come out with a study saying air fresheners causes cancer or something. Imagine the thousands of homes where the wife sprays hat stuff daily?

Thank you. I cannot be around scented candles, perfume or cologne without sneezing. And I have a somewhat compromised immune system as it is. Luckily Mrs W uses air fresheners on a very limited basis.

It seems that, in the post World War II era, causes of death swung away from bacterial and viral causes. We now see a lot more genetic damage, neurological damage, and cancer. And I think it’s the rise of the chemical industry that began to occur in the 1950s, and is culminated, with everyone eating large quantities of unhealthy processed foods. We are destroying ourselves. Birth rates are down, deformities are up.  Then we have the whole rise of neurological issues. We need to get back to a healthy lifestyle. I know it’s easy to say that and hard to implement, but the truth of the matter is, the future of mankind depends on us finding a balance with nature.

[Shiela_M]

Neurological issues are increasing not so much in numbers but in diagnosis.  Because of advancing technology, We have learned more about the human brain and neurological system in the past 20 years than we have in the previous 100.  When I was diagnosed with my MS, my doctor went into great detail about advancement it detection, and diagnosis. I do agree that unhealthy living has made the amount of problems grow, they just have more names for them now.

Added note: wow, I kind of sounded like a trumpster there, the reason there are so many caes because of so much testing.  WTF.  Must be an undigested 21 year old big mac I ate as a kid, giving me trump like brain damage.

I'm just trying to say advanced technology makes for more diverse diagnosis.

That single paragraph is the most concise (and accurate) description of life in the late 20th century and it continues into the 21st.

What chemicals have done to humans, plastic has done to the environment. I fear what life will be like when my grandkids are my age.

I won't even start down the Big Pharma road. Who remembers Thalidomide? (Try typing just the first six letters into a search engine.)

I have cured:
Diabetes
Cancer
Hypertention
Arthritis
Anemia
Eczema
Floaters
There is much more.  I did it all using food, herbs, spices, and supplements.  Real food! I did it in less than 5 years, I've lost over 70 ilbs. (From 223 - 152 this morning) I'm 5'-8"
I needed help to get out of a car.  I couldn't hold a gallon a milk to pour into a glass. (Don't drink milk...lol)
Now I can climb ladders carrying something.  I have all my strength back.
I was considered "healthy" and just needed to take a few meds...I could on and on and on.

About a 1/3 of our children have chronic health conditions and many are allergic to their own environment and natural foods.
1 in 82 now have full blown Autism, 1 in 59 have some form of ASD.  By 2030 it is estimated to be 1 in every 2 males will have some form of ASD.  Many will need 24/7 care. 

So the world when your, and mine, grandchildren will look like will be caretakers and those who need it......we will not survive....
