Litiquette3

[Endless_Night]

Dang it! You know I can't resist a question.

Ummm. What I've wanted from Lit has varied greatly over my two years or so on the board. Something of an evolving experience, I suppose.

Stories --> Information --> Banter --> Play

Currently on hiatus. Or supposed to be.

 

[Lord Pmann]

Fun and newness. I just really have made some amazing friends here. I just want to meet nice people and have good conversation. I know I'm entertaining as hell. So come on people, do your part!!!

 

[Suz_anne]

Okay......enough horseplay.

In attempt to self correct this place, I'm going to offer tomorrow's question now. Be good and you just might get a bonus one later.

"I guess it depends what you want from your time at Lit really." - author unknown

This came across my path recently, and I thought it made the perfect Litiquette question. What do you want from your time a Lit?

Go.

Sex. Dirty, filthy, nasty, whore-ish sex. Sex.

 

[Suz_anne]

Sex. Dirty, filthy, nasty, whore-ish sex. Sex.

Just kidding! I'm probably the least Lit-laid person in these parts and I'm okay with that. I'm here for the stimulating conversation. Particular when they involve boobs, greasy arseholes and pretty shoes.

 

[Endless_Night]

Sex. Dirty, filthy, nasty, whore-ish sex. Sex.

Now see, I'm all about clean, awkward, prissy, innocent-ish sex.

 

[Bitesback]

Okay......enough horseplay.

Whoa! Is there ever enough horseplay?
Or is this an attempt to curtail Pmann's advances, Chained?

Be good and you just might get a bonus one later.

promises. But it's a lame bribe.

Go.

I came for the stories, which continue to entertain. If I pop into the fora, I'm happy with a stint playing a few word games, visiting my favourite thread (see? I'm being good), interacting with some interesting people either with a bit of banter or a good conversation. And it's good to catch up with people who come and go. I'm not usually looking for anything more from my time here. Usually.

Sex. Dirty, filthy, nasty, whore-ish sex. Sex.

What? Where? How?

 

[ChainedUp]

So is the question the actual derailer here? The room flows along and then boom, a question is asked the place comes to a halt. That is the way a train derailment works, everything stops. Maybe the wacky, tangential conversation is really the the train moving along at full speed....nahhhh

How often to find things aren't what they initially appeared. Maybe it's a meal that looks great but tastes bad. Maybe it's a car that drove fast but was a maintenance nightmare. A person that was super cool at the first meeting but turned out to be a real ass. Or a thread that promised X but delivered Y instead. What's your approach when this happens?

No hablo inglés, man...

@BitesBack- I think if you'll read the exchanges, Papa Chained is the one pursuing me. All I'm doing is sitting here, being adorable and cute and apparently he finds that intoxicating. It's not my thing, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't flattering.

On to today's question:

A lot of times people have buyer's remorse. A car. A house. A hooker. Whatever it is, it didn't end up being as luxurious or as herpes free as you thought. For me, I try to make purchases or decisions based on longevity. The long game, as some like to say. If you make snap decisions, you'll likely be disappointed. But if you use a bit of wisdom and pace yourself, I think you'll be more likely to find that you can enjoy the spoils a bit more.

I'm usually a pretty good reader of people. Every so often a nutter slips by. Maybe she's super pretty and my other senses get dulled. If I invest something into someone, I don't want to regret it afterwards. So to all my friends, please don't end up being dickheads.

 

[All_4_Love]

I've just been through the hardest breakup of my life. So, I think it's safe to say that things weren't what they initially appeared to be.

My approach? Well, two nights ago it was a half bottle of rum, hours of crying (my poor friend), eating everything in sight, and finally passing out. Today, I'm so angry I could put my fist right through a wall.

My approach needs work. I'm terrible at this. And I never want to go through it again.

Normal stages of grief. Just let it flow. You may go through some stages multiple times before you come out the other side. There is another side. Hope you know your value and feel better soon.

Thank you, love. You are so right. And I know this too shall pass. (Hug)

A4L,
Let me give you a few pointers to help you refine your approach.
1.it's TEQUILA you need, not rum. Put that shit away.
2. Make sure the cake has BUTTERCREAM ICING.
3.Don't be a pussy and pull back. Let that fist leave a mark. It works two fold .You'll never want to actually do it again. And you'll finally have something to take your mind off the other pain. (At least for a little while).

Finally, if you need to vent privately, have at my inbox.

that chick never fails to put a crooked smile on my face

(well.. those little arrow things work a lot better when they're not at the top of the page)

Thank you, RA. You made me smile.

1. I couldn't drink tequila to save my life.
2. Buttercream? Is there any other icing in the world?
3. I wish I had it in me but I don't. But you can rest assured, I never want to do this again. And I'm thinking great sex could be the alternative to taking my mind off of the other pain, after I finished the bottle of rum, of course. Cause I couldn't do it any other way. I went and froze my butt off the other day just so I could sit by the ocean. That was almost as painful as punching a wall.

This feels awful. It is my first true heartbreak over a relationship. The first time I've ever had to walk away with a heart full of love. We're supposed to go through this crap when we're young. For goodness' sake, I'm turning 41 in a week.

I need ice cream.

Just a point of clarification... would this apply to situations where something was repeatedly described as "magnificent" and was found to actually be... not "magnificent"?

Asking for a friend. Kthnx.

Magnificent is in the Eye of the Beholder, fucker!

Actually, I’m confused. Things seem to have change a bit during my break. Are you two Lit’s new power couple or not?

I'm usually a pretty good reader of people. Every so often a nutter slips by. Maybe she's super pretty and my other senses get dulled. If I invest something into someone, I don't want to regret it afterwards. So to all my friends, please don't end up being dickheads.

And I agree with this^ completely. Well, except for the ‘she’s super pretty and my other senses get dulled” part.

I've just been through the hardest breakup of my life.

Sorry to hear this, Love.

*Well, a girly tackle. Not the bone snapping kind.*

Missed you, madam.

I'm not sure I believe you're capable of the bone snapping kind of tackle, Miss Princess!

Missed, you too.

And, to answer the question, it depends!

- If it’s service or purchase oriented, I’ll try and resolve it nicely. It that doesn’t work, well, it is amazing how quickly a phone call or letter detailing one’s displeasure will resolve a problem. Just saying.

- People are tricky. I’m slow to warm up, so don't invest much off the bat. On the other hand, once I do fully engage it can be quite difficult for me to cut the cord.

- Threads are easy. Something has to deliver: people, content, Pmann’s cawk p). If not, I just wander away....

[SMNaughtywife]

It happens, people, places, food seem too good to be true. Sometimes they are, sometimes not.
How do I deal? I simply tell myself that living in the comfort zone, never trying something new, passing on a spontaneous opportunity is boring and drab. You'll never know unless you embrace the new, different and uncomfortable. I'll give everything a second try, because finding that diamond in the rough is pretty damn cool.

All_4_Love --- ice cream huh? What about a rum float. I'd recommend Butter Pecan ice cream with rum. Looks in kitchen, Rum-check. Ice Cream-check. Maybe I should give it a try too.

 

[ChainedUp]

A4L - I'm sorry things didn't work out. I read lots of sage advice here, nothing wrong with the food/drink coping plan. Just avoid anyone offering cock pics as solace, it's a scam.

 

[All_4_Love]

Sorry to hear this, Love.

Thank you, EN. Never, ever again. It won't be the first time I've had to rise from the ashes. I just certainly hope it's the last. I'm gonna make it. (Hug)

That sounds delicious. Can I just come over, then? Because if my last experience was any indicator, I think I'm going to need a babysitter.

Haha. Thank you, Chained. Perhaps, the most sage advice of all.
