And another thing that sucks about working part time.....

[SeaDaddy1]

I am stuck here with you people when I'd rather be working. But I am glad I am not alone.

I haven't given up on gainful employment, I am taking a break from the frustration and disappointments. My fingers are sore from filling out applications, my car is racking up the miles driving from one disappointment to another, one month behind on bills, my little nest egg of savings is rapidly deteriorating. My kids are all grown and seem to be doing better, but I think they are telling me little white lies because I worry more about them than me.

I am so tempted, just for one day, to party my ass off and get wasted into mindless bliss.

I read your post and think you are a good Daddy.

My Daddy calls me a little slut.

Tell me about it- I don't know if I should keep looking or just be happy with what i have. I'm not getting many hours, but it isn't peak season yet- they assure me that once it hits, I'm gonna be running on all 4 cylinders- but right now I guess I'm going to try and make a few Christmas presents.

Hang in there friend. Just remember that getting wasted into mindful bliss has a mighty hang over the next day. I tend to go for mindless sex. Well only in my mind.

While I truly appreciate all the positive, cheerful comments thus far...It's just frustrating for a man like me these days you know?

Wallowing in self pity just isn't like me. I mean, I have always been a responsible, stable, positive person. I'm 45 now. The first 35 years were about growing up, getting married, raising kids, and building a good future until I could look back one day from a rocking chair and look forward to babysitting my grandchildren in my golden years. It was always, "One more Daddy, one more! Help me Daddy! I love you Daddy! Thanks Dad! I need you Daddy! I want to be like you Dad!"

The last 10 years have been about 2 divorces.A roller coaster of ups and downs. Going from job to job. Losing the house I, then my 3 kids, grew up in. Then watching them drive off in the cars I bought for them, as a little piece of me died and went with them each time. Still seeing them as toddlers and wondering if did I the right things to prepare them for adulthood. All 3 married and now 4 grandchildren for me.

Now it's "I'm okay Dad. Don't worry about me Dad. I'm not a kid anymore Dad. You can move in with us Dad. We'll see you on Christmas, Dad." And me, moving from job to job....wondering why I went spent 2 of these last 10 finishing a college degree that don't mean shit now.

Oh well. I can't turn back the clock. For now, I'll just crank up the radio so loud I can't hear myself think. Wash my dog Bubba....he's getting old too. Such is life.

You've been through a lot so give yourself a little time to let things even out. I'm 46 I think a little of it has to do with the time in our lives. This isn't what I expected this time of my life to be like. Don't isolate yourself and lean on those who care about you. You can always vent to me. I'll listen.

think you're right about the "time of our lives" bit.

at my 25th h.s. reunion recently, no less than 4 different people confided in me that they're getting divorced.

and not to sprinkle stupid politics on it, but i definitely think the shitty economy and the ensuing financial hardships have a little to do with it, too

If you had skills, you'd have a full time job. You don't and you don't. Blame yourself.

 

[CandiCame]

how many hours are you working now?

Like... 16 a week. Very few. They're supposed to bump me up to 39.5 once Emerald Advance starts. I'm apparently the best at data entry which is what EA is. I'm the fastest typer or whatever.

brother, if i ever got hit on the head and suddenly had the urge to get a handjob from a guy, i'd send you a pm

I could give you a hj without you ever knowing I was a guy.

I fucking hate giving hand jobs though. I really do. It just seems lazy. And like... I dunno. It's the most half-assed thing ever.

it seems like a lot of work. the handjobs i've gotten, i end up feeling guilty when i see that poor girl's arm getting tired after only a few minutes

you'd think a dry-cleaner would have strong arms, but i guess not

It's not strength, it's stamina.

I get angry getting handjobs too- I can do that my damn self.

I'm 60-something and life doesnt get better with time, its always something or someone riding my ass. I have a wall fulla diplomas and plenty of talent, and none of it is a guarantee of anything. Never has been.

just a general question about guys & girls, since you enjoy both:
do you prefer to receive the same specific attentions from one as you would the other? or are there certain things you only like getting from girls that you don't like getting from guys?

just being curious & nosy, you can tell me to piss off if you wish

He could give you a blowjob too, but I imagine that would take a lot harder hit in the head than you want to endure

 

[pete]

i'm sure he'd be great at it.
but i've been so hetero for so long, it's really hard to fathom going the other way.

but once-ler's a cool dude, if he lived near my gay brother i'd try to set them up

Huh- I've honestly never thought about it. Most of random sex has honestly not been that... sober- so I don't have a lot of real solid memory to pull from. The vast majority of sober sex I've had I've been in relationships for. So, just bear that in mind. But I'm gonna say that for the most part it depends on the person, I think, moreso then I can be like, "Guys are better at _____, girls are better at ______". Some of it is stuff that you can't really help, or what mood you're in, etc. For example, I had an ex who was really good at topping, but she had a $200 strap-on that vibrated and had this like... electro thingy on the top- so that's not fucking fair. No one has a cock that can do that. My other ex (a guy) was strong enough to literally pick me up and slam me against a wall and hold me like that while he fucked me, and I've generally not met a chick that strong, and because of the way I like to have sex, that was great for a number of things- he could easily beat the hell out of me and contain me, and hold me and whatnot. I don't wanna sound sexist, but that ability to overpower me, which I love, is probably more common in guys. I know that there are a lot of physically strong women, and I'm attracted to them, but... goddamn it, can't think of a non-sexist way to end that sentence, so I'm just gonna trail off. As far as does one gender give better X (blow jobs, handjobs, etc) I'm gonna say... not in my experience. It varies individually more then it does by gender. But that also might be skewed because, like I said, I don't like handjobs- like... inasmuch as I don't really cum from them. For me a hj is foreplay- it's a lead-in to something. And I've had people be like, "WTF, why is this taking so long?" And you don't wanna say, 'i'm bored, it's not gonna happen..." But... bitch, I'm BORED. It's NOT gonna happen.

One thing that does kinda suck is that I like to give oral- so sometimes I'll be dating a guy and want to lick pussy or be dating a chick and want to suck cock- but it's not like this HUGE deal. But obviously, one sex is better at having a penis or a vagina then the other. So that's aggravating. But that's my problem, not my SO's. And like I said, it's not this giant overpowering urge- it's not like, a reason to cheat.
