  1. https://postimage.org Terms of Use state, "Adult imagery is not allowed." I assume this means no naked or naughty content may be uploaded. Is there a site (free or otherwise) where personal content may be uploaded for sharing and without content restrictions (except illegal content such as child pornography or copyright infringement)?
  2. This thread may get longer than the Litany of All Saints -as perhaps it should- but here's to adding my thanks to all those who joined in to save the forums. After that glitch from a week or two ago, when the site was inaccessible for some hours, today's vanishing act got me quite concerned. You've now helped with my medical expenses, since I won't need to double-dose my heart meds, and can cancel the request for antidepressants. A generous effort by all involved, and no small feat of technical prowess. My sincere congratulations and heartfelt gratitude to all of you!

  4. In that same vein, would "lubed" make me seem overeager?
  5. From kingsley88, "A good indicator would be EVIII’s own words in an interview after the war where he is quoted saying “of course if I had been king, there never would have been a war”, and expanded offering that Germany should have been given a free hand to crush communism. Not surprisingly, he never touched upon Germany’s conquest of most of Europe before invading Russia, and not a whisper about concentration camps or the Holocaust." This statement from Edward VIII aka Duke of Windsor only serves to underscore his unfitness to be king. Not because it exposes his leanings toward Hitler, which, taken together with other indicators, it seems to do, but also because it exposes his own exaggerated sense of self to believe that in a parliamentary democracy, the constitutional monarch has the influence, let alone power, to dictate to the elected government in matters of policy, let alone those as grave as war and peace. And if he had remained king for as late as 1940, after Britain declared war on Germany, and had opposed that declaration, I have no doubt he would have had to contend with an incredulous Churchill who would have quickly parted ways the the king, reminding him both of his duty and of his proper place in the scheme of British political life. Monarchist that he was, Churchill was first and always the self-described "man of the House [of Commons]" and would never have tolerated public intrusion of the king into political debate. The cabinet would have likely resigned en masse, creating a constitutional crises that would probably have necessitated Edward's abdication, or even possibly an end to the monarchy altogether, an unthinkable outcome under almost any other circumstance.
  6. Is that what we're calling it theses days? I am so out of the loop!
  7. The Queen Mother despised Wallis and blamed her and Edward for the premature death of her husband, George VI. Had Edward not abdicated to marry Wallis, "Bertie," as George VI was called by the family, would never have had to carry the burden of kingship in World War II, which the Queen Mother believed contributed to her husband's death. However, I think smoking 4 packs a day may have been a far more direct cause of his death from lung cancer at the age of 56. Churchill sent the Duke and Duchess of Windsor to the Bahamas to get them as far away as feasible from Europe. Remember that they weren't living in England after the abdication, but had settled in France. After Germany invaded France, they evacuated to Spain, then Portugal, but did not return to Britain. Churchill's main problem was a trip Edward and Wallis had made to Germany where they got somewhat chummy with Hitler. There was even some evidence of a German plan to invade the UK and put Edward back on the throne to replace his brother and to serve as a German puppet. I don't know if there's evidence of Edward's knowledge of the plan, let alone of his willingness to be a part of it. But whatever there was, it was enough for Churchill to send Edward and Wallis to a warmer, and far away, climate. BTW, Wallis complained the weather in Bahama played havoc with her hair. Cue eye roll.
  8. I'm counting the minutes.
  9. The world slowly and somewhat painfully coming out from under the grip of a global pandemic. Cops still killing and being killed. Mass shootings almost every other day. Myanmar slaying its own people, including over 80 children in a single day. Trumpism persists and QAnon keeps the faith. And a naked man with a purse is what some people choose to get exercised over. I sometimes despair of my species. Jesus wept.
  10. OMG! Parker Young! Just tell me what to do to what!
  11. That's disappointing to hear. When I saw the pics for him, I thought, "Wow! Louisville's stepping up its game!" Sounds now like another story TGTBT.
  12. My apologies to the OP and other members, but the impish side of me couldn't resist my earlier post. On topic, I don't mind the occasional detour from a main topic, as the thread trajectory usually rights itself in time. And if it doesn't, a post along the lines of "What's this got to do with the title of this thread?" might nudge it back on course. And if it doesn't, there's always the ignore it solution. So, I'm mainly noncommitted on the subject.
  13. I like raisins in a box, but don't like raisins baked into bread. Is that odd?
  14. The Queen has lost her life's love and her mate of over 70 years. It must hurt horribly, and I have dreaded this day and the hurt it would bring her. But I would submit she is not and will not be devastated by the loss. From what I have read of her, and what I know of the trials and losses she has had to bear, she is, at least, two things: resilient and pragmatic. No one married to a man of 99 hasn't come to terms with with his inevitable, and probably increasingly imminent, death. She knew it would come, and more so sooner than later, I suspect. A month long stay in hospitals might have been a sign. And I think the only thing she was more devoted to than Philip was Duty. She will honor that duty to her last breath. Her pragmatic side will give to Charles and William, greater shares in the "being seen" side of the job, as concessions to age and the challenges to her mobility. In fact, that's already happened. But she will go on fulfilling the oath she made on her 21st birthday, "I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service." Plus - and said only with great reverence and respect - she's a tough old broad, one with a steely determination covered in matching hat and coat. She'll be fine because she can see no alternative.
  15. He spent weeks in two London hospitals and had an undisclosed type of heart surgery while there, then was released and went back to Windsor Castle. He went to the hospital in mid-February, the Harry-Meghan-Oprah interview was in early March, and Philip was released in mid-March. I suspect he didn't know much about the interview because he probably wasn't told much about it, in consideration for his health and age. It's been reported that Philip wasn't happy about Megxit and was baffled by and somewhat disappointed with his grandson, Prince Harry. Prince Philip's funeral will be an occasion for Harry and Meghan to be in the same space with William, Catherine, Charles, Camilla, and the Queen, but I doubt Philip's passing will make much difference to either side in this family quarrel; one side feels persecuted and the other feels betrayed.
  16. Two summers ago, back when people could meet, I participated in a training course in Tarot cards, as part of a Fun in the Summer effort with some other retired friends. Although none of us really believed in Tarot, it was interesting to learn some of the history and symbolism represented in the cards. But the two things I took away from the experience were: (1) hearing the Tarot reader suggest meanings for the cards might coax you into seeing matters in a light you hadn't previously considered and this new perspective might give you a new insight into your issue or situation. It's merely the power of suggestion using a tool that might mean anything you want it to mean. (2) When we get a reading in Tarot, pronouncements from a psychic, or advice from an astrologer, etc., we tend to remember the three things that came true and not the other 100 that never happened. It's the same way people look upon "answered prayers," forgetting all those many other times the answer was "No." We are the most easily deceived when we want to believe.
  17. I was once going to consult the Psychic Friends Network but waited too long and then they went bankrupt. Geez, I'd have thought they'd have seen that coming.

    Sounds more like he's had some "simple Russian meth."

    Adds a new perspective to "rock hard."
  20. Mike and I have talked about his returning to porn work, but he says he'd rather just stay here with me and cuddle after a night of intense intimacy. Oh, is that the alarm already? Well, time to wake up, Mike. Mike? Mike, are you there? Mike?
  21. I sprained my wrist a year or so ago. Couldn't have sex for a month.

    So that's where the term "long distance" came from.
  23. I apologize if I'm being too forward, but could you please just make me your bitch?
  24. THEM: Sir, your choices are Heaven or sucking this boys tits for eternity. ME: What's the difference?
  25. I can only imagine what's inside of him!
