Chaos... to be continued

[AngelWithAShotgun]

That’s where I’ve been going wrong!

 

[AZDryHeat]

Lovely meeting you all but I must take a rest to recover my sanity.

 

[LikeableMe]

Can anyone advise me on how to sign off a formal letter to my employer? I almost wrote “I look forward to your response” but I’m hesitant!

In the fall the cacti turn a lovely color and shed their needles. (Not really.)

I can think of only one tree shedding its needles in the fall. But plenty of ones shedding their leaves.

A cactus just sits there slowly growing. They do have beautiful flowers, though.

I've had a few potted ones...

 

[Strixaluco]

Oddly quiet here... Well I better get some breakfast anyway.

 

[AZDryHeat]

Go eat and I shall go to sleep.

Depends who's online and who actually thinks 50 shades of grey was actually something worthy of determining kink level

It was fairly unreadable. Mentioning it on the BDSM boards goes down about as well as the M-word here. But for all its drawbacks, it still did something by explaining to the mainstream that folk with kinks might be...shock horror...normal, sane human beings? I can see why anyone seriously into the lifestyle hates it with a passion, because it's completely unrepresentative of their lived experience and breaks many of its most basic tenets. But in my everyday lived experience, and for better or worse, it has reduced the stigma attached to some things I like doing in the bedroom.

But there is never, ever an excuse for the M-word.

I'm not in the lifestyle, and I thought it was absolute piss. I can't believe anyone ever raved about it, but I was not surprised when it turned into a movie. I figure, someone will have read it and trigger their OCD bad enough, they'll want to re-write it themselves. It was astoundingly so poorly written, I'm surprised it was even published as a physical book.


P.S. What M-word o.o

I'm wondering this too. I thought it was because English is just my 3rd language that I don't get it, but apparently not...

It was largely unreadable, I have read better takes on the expression of BDSM by lesser known writers that I will recommend in a heartbeat to people with a interest in the scene. It was very helpful in letting the average everyday housewife and Joe blow know that those sort of kinks go on, but I have also seen the negative side of it people with no knowledge hurting partners because they seen it in a movie or read the book and think it is as simple as that.

This M word thought that has me puzzled if it's the use of the word Master I fear I use it frequently when referring to my late husband so anyone who takes offense to that should really take that in context. He was the Master of my body, my heart and my world.
Every word can have both a positive and a negative feel to it.

Lol I love hearing what you think you don't have to be in the lifestyle to know a good descriptive book when you read it.
I believe it was first published because it was a new and fresh concept and the idea itself had merit.

Did you end up getting help with this?

I might even write "I am waiting for your response" if I was pissed enough.

 

[AngelWithAShotgun]

Did you end up getting help with this?

Yep, we went with this based on the context:

edit: imma crawl back into bed now and get up on the bright sunshiney side of it

I did! Thank you for checking I had to both handwrite and submit the letter today! And I have to leave for work in ten minutes, so my time was very limited

Well good that someone was faster to react than me!

It was garbage writing. But it was BDSM fanfiction of Twilight and that made it relatable to mainstream women and planted a seed which did normalize things for "vanilla" folks as much as kinksters hate it.

It's the gateway drug for kink.
