Litiquette VII

[hotwords229_A]

And following an unexpected visit to an urgent care facillity a smug, but strained HW retires home with instructions regarding the alternative useage of bags of frozen peas.

I can just stream it, click on telehealth when injured, then upload to YouTube and become famous. From Zero to Hero in five minutes—that’s how you get things done in the digital age.

FYI - Reddit has live streaming times slots of 30 mins. And the audience has the power to vote and increase your time.
Pretty sure if you tell us when, I’ll have my phone glued to my hand watching and giving feedback.

Can they vote to shorten my time? Because that’s what may actually happen.

Definitely want pics now

Too easy to photoshop. Demand video.

I used to not give one thought about springboarding cookies off one's own penis into one's own mouth and now I'm interested. That's a change.

The best part about Lit is all the new ideas. I had never thought of it either until I said it. Now I’m thinking it could be a new Olympic sport. You could get scored on distance, accuracy, there could be weight categories . . . the possibilities are endless!

Today’s question:

We’re all constantly evolving. Tastes change. Personalities and tolerances moving in a different direction.
What just doesn’t do it for you anymore?
And how do you feel about that change?
Think it’s a temporary change or more so permanent?

Sexwise... Soft, sweet romance doesn't do it for me anymore. Occasionally it will work if it's the giggly kind. But a few years ago I discovered, quite by accident, that I'm a bit of a masochist and I really enjoy dirty talk. For me, I'm cool with the change. I do feel bad for Hubby though. For 20 years certain things worked and now it's all be upended. Unfortunately I feel it's a permanent change. The orgasms are just too good to go back.

Personalitywise...I no longer have any tolerance for bullshit. I've had serious shit happen to me and find I just don't have the energy to deal with situations or people that don't add something constructive or supportive to my life. Before I would have worked really hard to fix situations or clear up misunderstandings(especially ones that I felt unfairly cast me in a bad light). Now I just don't care and I feel much better with this change. My life and sanity is much more peaceful (on average) because of it. So I hope it is a permanent change.

I was going to demand video but didn't want to be all out thirsty. Damnit, I want video!

Talking about olympic sports, I was talking to my physical therapist about kegels today and how once upon a time I actually trained to expel a ping pall ball from my body. She was legitimately impressed. These days, I pee myself when I laugh. It's been a fall from grace.

It's a tough one. I've been lucky to travel a lot of awesome places. I'd say it's a toss up between the Cliffs of Moher and the Danube at night..

Budapest is pretty ridiculous overall, from the top of Gellert Hill looking towards the city. My heart kind of melts day or night. But at night? With the lights on the Danube? God damn. The chain bridge lit up and the light of it and the city against the water is somewhat impossible to describe. The way it shimmers in the ripple of the water. The Parliament on river's edge. You needn't be at the top of the hill. You could walk along the river's edge, take a boat cruise, cross the chain bridge. There's something powerful about water to begin with, but that is another level. It's really quite something to see and everyone should get to. I'm gonna stick with that one.

For me, I’d say it was the fjords in Norway. Norway was the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. Not to mention, those people are fucking gorgeous. I felt like a troll when I was there. A pic will do it more justice.

The Cliffs of Moher are quite gorgeous. Ireland has several of my top views. Giants Causeway is another.

Concur. I loved it as well. The gift and curse I found was that you could walk on the rocks. It made it awesome, but also took away from the beauty with 100s crawling all over. The Aran Islands were pretty spectacular, too. Agree that overall Ireland is pretty AF.

 

[Richard_C]

Half Dome from across the valley with a full moon rising above the crest. That was pretty sweet!

Such a hard one for me...I have been blessed to travel to such beautiful places...

I absolutely love Nami Island in South Korea...Intoxication colors of Autumn almost all year round...

And perhaps my favorite...Japan during the Cherry Blossom season...the city becomes pink...so stunning...

There are a few that come to mind.

1. The moment I laid eyes on my firstborn. I was so in awe that I had grown that squishy thing and I'd just managed to push it out of my body.

2. Waking up in the Painted Hills in Eastern oregon about this time last year was such a surreal treat. The light from the early morning sun bounced off the rock formations and I just laid in bed and soaked in the quiet view.

3. Visiting Bryce Canyon during a thunderstorm. Bolts of electricity were dancing below me and it was the most incredible experience to stand above a lighting storm.

4. As much as I took it for granted, the Australian coastal waters on a perfectly sunny day. I could see the beach from my kitchen and was walking distance from the beach. I truly didn't understand just how special that was until I moved away.

 

[SMNaughtywife]

I have some catching up to do here.

Boxed cake mixes don’t do it for me anymore. I bake from scratch and had to whip up some cupcakes last week and they weren’t anything to write home about.
Kids loved them tho.

I’m a mountain girl, so my most amazing view is Lake Louise in Banff National Park. It was breathtaking. The lake is turquoise and it’s surrounded by white capped mountains.

Today’s question: What's the dumbest argument you've ever had with a sibling?

So I'm answering this one because I can't pick out the stupidest argument with my sibling. Much apologies.

So when I was 14-15 I went on a trip where we hit a few of the national parks, One of those was Yosemite, we went on a three day hike, it was cool. On the last morning we woke up early (i.e before sunrise) and we hiked somewhere the counselors picked out. I'm not sure where on the mountain we were but that was the best view I've ever seen. you could see the sun hitting the forest, the lower part of the mountain. I still remember it now all these years later. But my words fail me on describing it better.

Today’s question: What's the dumbest argument you've ever had with a sibling?

My brother and I had a screaming row when we were children which resulted in him throwing a pencil at me, which stuck point-first in my arm No great injury, but it sort of tattooed a little blue-ish grey dot there, which I still carry today.

I have absolutely no recollection of what the argument was about, except that it was something really trivial.

 

[aussiegeekygal]

I had an argument with my sister that resulted in her opening the car door as I was reversing down the driveway and ripping the door off the hinges on a pole that supported an awning. The awning came down too.

She did it on purpose and then ran off to a friend's place for a few days so I had to deal with the fallout of angry parents who couldn't get both sides of the story.

I have no idea what the argument was about but I do remember telling her that I didn't want to argue and I needed to leave.

 

[hotwords229_A]

My sister and I get along great now, but when we were kids we would argue over anything. We only teamed up if a third party got involved.

The only story I can think of is when we were arguing over something and she called me a Jerk. I responded, in front of our mother, that if I was a Jerk then she is a Jerkoff! At the time, I assumed a jerkoff was just a bigger jerk—like, King of the Jerks.

My mom didn’t agree with my assumption and I got yelled at and told never to say that word again. I had no idea what happened, why it was a problem or what it meant. Ironically, I later went to my sister to find out what it meant and she told me I was too much of a jerk to find out.

Of course the joke was on all of them because, although I had no idea what jerkoff meant, I had been practicing it in secrecy for quite some time and I was, in fact, the King of the Jerkoffs.

 

[QuietCanadian]

We used to fight all the time, but I can never remember over what, it was always dumb. Now we don't at all, ever that I can remember.

Whew!
This thread needs some TLC.
Ok, ok...
A question...

So Halloween is coming. I’ve seen trick or treat baskets on the ends of six foot poles. I’ve heard Canada is losing their shit about covid impacting Halloween. (Lol, QC, batter up!) And sooo...

What’re you thinking for Halloween this year?
Gonna wear a costume? What are you dressing up as?
What’s your proudest “fuck yes I nailed this” costume moment ever?*
Couples costumes: thoughts?
And, lastly, are you one of those stick in the mud refuses to dress up types? If so, explain thyself!

*it’s a tie between Paul Stanley from Kiss, and the year I was Frida Kahlo and my BF was Bob Ross...

So I'm not doing anything for Halloween this year. I live in a neighbourhood with a fair bit of kids and I'd rather not be a infection vector for them and their families.

My best costume was 2015, I went as a penguin wore the costume the day of and had pictures of me doing things like eating sushi, working out, partying, then the next morning in the costume looking like I regreted it all while eating a bagel with lox.

Couples costumes are hit and miss. Some have been fun others more weird.

Halloween isn't big where I am for adults and I'd like to dress up again. Maybe after the PhD is done.

A QUESTION!

I am, once again, doing nothing. Which annoy’s the F@#k right out of me. I am a Halloween-er! Yet the last three years in a row I’ve been stuck at home.

2018 - smack dab in the middle of a nervous breakdown
2019 - flat on my back from accident induced eye surgery
2020 - zombie apocalypse (otherwise known as Covid)

Next year I am doing something fabulous. Fab-u-lous. No idea what, you understand. Yet.

Maybe I’ll just whine until Jenny takes me to New Orleans.

Costumes. Eh. I am boringly predicable. Differing themes that include high hemlines and low necklines. (I have nice legs. And passable cleavage. )

It’s the only time of year I feel comfortable walking around looking totally slutty.

Best one? Huh….I really cannot remember a specific standout….

 

[aussiegeekygal]

We're not doing anything this year for Halloween. We will be exercising an abundance of caution and skipping trick or treating. If I want to give birth without wearing a mask I have to adhere to a three week quarantine. You better believe snotty nosed kids can go without candy so that I can push a baby out of my body without fabric all over my face!

Best costume- one year I was a 6'2 Oompa Loompa. That was epic. Another year I was a killer mime. I've also been a very realistic Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas.

Couples costumes can be fun but in all honesty, they're overrated.

If we weren't in a freaking pandemic, this year we would have done a family costume. Hubby dressed as a dentist, kiddo dressed as Darla and my bump would be a fish tank (my favorite scene in Finding Nemo).

Instead, I'm gonna sit on my ass and complain about how much I hate being pregnant. Winning.

I do not believe this in the slightest.

 

[Endless_Night]

I do not believe this in the slightest.

Hmmm, let me think.

-1800’s bar maid? Short, short, short skirt with frilly under-petticoat and décolletage.
-Witch? Polka dot push-up bra and panties under a long, black, sheer dress.
-Kitty? Black bodysuit, pointy ears, a wired tail, and black and pink paws.
-Mummy? White, lacy panties and bustier with bandages as wrapping.

Cute, but nothing particularly inventive.

< Instead, I'm gonna sit on my ass and complain about how much I hate being pregnant. Winning.

Aussie wins.

I will now cease complaining about my third-in-a-row, less-than-delightful Halloween.


Delivery in a mask?

Jesus. (Or whatever deity or deity associated person meets your needs.)

 

[numeniusa]

I have never in my life dressed up for or celebrated Halloween. I don't really get it. But I'm a Brit, and we've always 'celebrated' Guy Fawkes night on November 5th. It's the date on which a plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament was foiled. It's celebrated with huge communal bonfires and fireworks displays. And a town on the south coast always burns an effigy of the Pope, for reasons I can't remember

Halloween has become more of a thing here in the last decade. But it's still Guy Fawkes for me.

 

[QuietCanadian]

Oh god, the health unit asked parents to have their kids wear masks and stay in their neighborhood and everyone lost it. I'd never seen anything like it this whole COVID time. "You will not tell us what to do, we're going to all the neighbourhoods with whoever we want to!" And then, gasp, they tried to put some restrictions on hockey games. No one's taking about Halloween anymore and the hockey dad's ride at midnight. I might go as a hockey dad, just need a pitchfork and Molotov cocktail.

I like to have fun with Halloween, even though it's not my favourite holiday. People at work like to and it becomes really fun. I like the little details about a costume and the hunt to find them. I'm not buying an of the shelf costume. I've spray painted clothing and used a dollar store fuzzy bath mat as hair. I'm not sure I'm gonna make it this year, pandemic and all, I might not even be into work. It's the details that make me feel like I've nailed it.
