Litiquette IV

One does not preclude the other

So you're flaunting with authority? Cheeky, Chainey... And a little cocky...

Who me?

 

[fishyfingers]

Who me?

Yes, was that in doubt?

Letting this place simmer down after last night's hot flurry.

No one likes ice cold or boiling hot, so finding that "just right" temperature is always a bit tricky. Is it better to start out a little too hot and then dial it back until it's comfortable or start out cool and keep increasing the temperature?

Turn it up... the tension must build to a slow rolling boil. Think about it? Why would one start out at orgasmic and go backwards?

I like it hot, but not to hot.

It always starts cold but I turn it all the way up until it's scorching hot, then dial it back down to "almost too hot".

We're talking about showers, right?

I'm not sure this topic will be the cold shower for us all that Chained thought it might be...

"slow rolling boil"... Jezzilee's making jam. Now that's hot!

Don't knock the ice cold...a little can be fun, especially when it's hot. Starting too hot and then dialing back can a bit like reading the last chapter first. Mind you, I can imagine times when boiling hot, in the figurative sense, something full on, hot and strong, might be fun, too... But starting out cool and increasing the temperature builds anticipation and that's rarely a bad thing.

Sorry, I failed to answer the question. Starting to feel a little bit hot and bothered...

I'm part lizard, so I like it hot. Which puts me at odds with 99% of the world that needs it freezing all summer long. Thank god for flannel. And yes, I wear an overshirt all year round.

I swear I'm moving to Ecuador; average year round temp. is 85 degrees; of course the 130% humidity will probably kill me

 

[Scout44]

Wow, I had to go back a few pages...lots to catch up on, it's been busy in here!

I too prefer a slow build up. Good things come to those who wait as they say.

 

[Paul_Chance]

When it comes to hot-to-cold or cold-to-hot I generally say "yes please".

There is a lot to be said for the long slow simmering build up to boiling.

And there is a lot to said for just getting straight into the heat.

So, "yes, please".

 

[SMNaughtywife]

I'll go with a cool shower. I'm usually too hot for my own good.

 

[ChainedUp]

Apologies for being tardy, writes myself a citation. So, right to it:

Chronic flaws in people we know, nothing major but still something that's not quite right. Always late is something that comes to mind. Do you live with it because they are 90% good or do you try and see if they can't change that which needs changing?

 

[SMNaughtywife]

I'm chronically too kind and considerate. I've threatened Mr. that maybe I need to change my ways, show him how good he has it. I try and fail most times, it's really hard to be a nagging bitch.

 

[Endless_Night]

I see it as a pie chart rather than a percentage model. If enough of the pie is attractive I can live with the flaws. If the unattractive slices are too large, or something I find particularly unpalatable, I tend to cut my losses.

Easy for me, though. I’m not wildly social, and tend to develop a few intimate relationships rather than maintain multiple casual ones. Even then, if something is too annoying I’ll voice my displeasure. Or at the beginning of a relationship, when I’m trying to work out if it’s a “keeper”.

If you change always late to often late, then it would appear I am chronically flawed. I would assume those who are close to me have chosen to accept it because I am so amazing in every other way.

My experience has been that leopards can't change their spots. They can camouflage themselves a bit, for a while, but leopards are still leopards. So, among my friends and associates I live with their flaws, since they, in turn, live with mine.

 

[Lord Pmann]

Changing someone else's behaviours can be a good thing or a bad thing. But trying to change a person is a bad idea in my opinion. We usually go back to our old ways. I'm not saying people can't change. But when we do it for someone else, it's temporary.

A picture is worth a thousand daily questions. Yum.

Counting on people to change never works. Minor quirks really don't bother me, though.

 

[ViciousTease]

Chainey has gone rogue! I like it.

 

[ChainedUp]

Just seemed like the place needed a little flair yesterday.

Speakimg of flair, is it really worth the extra effort? The effort can be appreciated but sometimes the value of flair is lost on me, like its compensating for the lack of something elsewhere. (Insert red sports car joke here)

Is it better to focus on the task at hand and add value that way or does a little flair never hurt?

Ooh...I'm first to answer. Do I get a prize?

I'm a teacher of sorts. A little flair never hurts. Keeps things interesting and your audience engaged.

Flair? It’s worthwhile. It’s what catches out attention, directs our likes and dislikes, makes one architecture, design, music, etc. preferable to another. As for personal endeavors, it’s often that extra little fillip that elevates talent or hard work into something special, noteworthy.

It allows us to be unique, to give things we touch our own personal signature. Opens us up to joy. Good stuff.

My only quibble is with the use of the word “effort”. Flair comes from a natural, inherent flow. Forced flair is…lackluster, and often embarrassing to witness in action.
