To "recharge the batteries" my Wife Goddess and I have a thing that we call "Naked Sunday."
It's a blissful perk of living in the middle of nowhere!

Love that habit!

Let the naked fest commence!!!!

So, what’s up with all of you dudes and dudettes?

Sitting on the bridge wing, enjoying the ocean breeze and morning coffee... in addition to the wisdom of the fine Spooners!

Having grown up in the southern "Bible Belt" I remember the "Blue Law" when it was illegal to have your business open on Sunday....
...and not trying to be crude or obscene, but there were "Sodomy Laws" banning any type of oral or butt play.

There’s a county in NJ right next to NYC that still has blue laws enacted. Nothing open on Sunday.

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

I took the opportunity to rewrite mine...and update if you will

I went over yesterday morning and just reloaded mine. I have saved a ton of Avatars as I used to change them monthly on our company board.

When I checked this morning they had put it back. I wasn’t even showing my man-boobs!. Not even some side booooob!

 

[Vitriolhack]

So half the people are SMARTER than ME???

Well at least half are dumberer.

I wonder, would I rather want to be the smartest of the dumbest or the dumbest of the smartest people?

They had the same thing when I lived in Germany (doubt they were called Blue Laws) so you had to plan to get your groceries before 4 pm on Sat if you needed anything on Sunday.

The funny thing is, once we got used to it…we kind of liked the slower pace of life. Wife and I both had a little culture shock coming back to the states and the 24/7 pace.

Go for dumbest of the smart set…that way you can piggy back off their intellect!

What? Sodomy laws included oral?

Thank you Lili. I haven’t had a chance to talk to him yet, other than what he said about the surgery going well. He didn’t tell me it had spread. I’m guessing because she needed to hear it first?

Keto diet is something we can do right off the bat. I’m weaning her off the Sweet&Low and any other chemical crap she has laying about. Thanks for the insight. I’m sure we’ll be on a first name basis with her Oncologist.

Well…about ten mins after I made my post from yesterday, I get a call from my DiL saying grandmommy fell! I went over and Miss Just Had a Hysterectomy decided she was going to fix her TeeVee, went to unplug it, lost her balance and toppled over onto her side…all while holding her tummy so as not to break the stitches! .

I spent the better part of the day at the ER, going through test, X-rays, and a CT scan. Nothing worse than a bruised back and pain. She dodged a bullet on that one. So I lectured her on letting everyone help till she is able to get up and off these meds that make her dizzy. Mothers…

Thank God she is OK after her fall!!!
I've seen the "stubbornness" for lack of a better word, as the independence is the most difficult thing for the elderly to turn loose of.
I'm glad she has you and please send her my heartfelt best wishes!

Interesting, but, wouldn’t you be smart enough to know you are dumbest?

Whereas, if I were the smartest of the dumbest, at least one could rejoice of that feat!

Totally. I was in Germany and France two years ago, and I just had the most peaceful Sunday morning, just walking and enjoying the morning.

Restaurants are open on Sundays, but that’s about it…

I agree, I really liked it!

I’m sooooo confused!

I’m the king of the dummies! Or I am the dumbest of the smarties!

It was like that here when I was a kid. Things changed in the early 80s.

At least you are king!

Well, I’m glad she’s OK and yeah… Old people and stubbornness…

My mom was the worst! My dad called it cussedness.

 

[Missk_2022]

I am slightly more positive that George, I prefer to think of most people as narrowly intelligent.

Low expectations high standards

Dumbest of the smartest

One of the guys on the AH received a message from Laurel and Manu saying it looks like some kind of glitch. They asked him to re upload the avatar and see what happens. So I recommend that those of you experiencing this to do that as it works.

You just have to find where that avatar photo is now LOL. If you're like me, it's been years since I uploaded it, but fortunately I am a pack rat and there it was, with all my other avatar and header images. Phew. ANd the upload worked to, so if you are still a white blob.....there won't be any fix from Literotica to restore avatars - you're going to have to go to yur profile, upload and save the change. It will then go to moderation and it will get approved fairly quickly so you should see your avatar back within an hour ot two. Laurel and Manu are awarenof the glitch and are approving new avatars tout suite.

^^^^this

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I get it. And I don’t really have a problem with it. Their site, their rules.

But I do have a problem with is that they conducted a “study“. I don’t like being lied to or fed a buncha horseshit.

They shoulda just been transparent from the start.

They have not, from the start.


Obfuscation since 1999 . . . .

I miss George Carlin!

We need to know this:

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Well at least half are dumberer.

No!!! You're way smarter than so many of these assholes, and you come with some integrity, too.

 

[dkak001]

This is hogwash. I will bet a boatload of money that no such experiment or study took place.

This was done to comply with US and UK pornography laws.

I've seen this sort of thing happen on the site several times over the years. It honestly didn't surprise me that it's happening again. The political changes may be playing a part in this, but I'm sure it's not the only reason.

There have been clampdowns on nudity in the past, and I have been wondering when it was going to happen again. The cycle seems to be a few warnings posted, some moderator actions, some grumbling, then things settle down again. This isn't the first time, and won't be the last.

But honestly, I can't blame or fault the site owners for wanting to make this place what they want it to be. They own it, they fund it, they operate it. It's theirs to do with as they please. I've met a lot of very interesting, fun, and amazing people here over the years. This site has also helped me in many ways. If the owners want to protect themselves for changing political climate or change it for whatever reasons they choose, I have zero say in the matter. I'm still able to meet and interact with wonderful people here.

If anyone is upset about the changes, I'd suggest stepping back and looking at what we get here, for free. If anyone on this particular thread is upset, take a look at how we operate here, on this thread. We enforce our own set of rules and abide by them, and we protect it from others that would disrupt the vibe. (We do this on someone else's servers, for free.)

Imagine having to enforce that for a whole site while protecting yourself from any legal consequences, while paying the bills for the servers.

I enjoy interacting with the people I've met here. If a few changes happen in the process, I'm willing to live with them to continue interact with them and all of you here.
