It's you at the top of your game, B!
One of my favorites of all time.
Thank you so much! It's been a while since I put out one I really liked. I'm so glad that you like it too!

The whole issue here is that most religions impose their faiths as actual facts. Isn't that the fundamental principle of religions, to provide people with some kind of truth, either existential or moral?
You can believe in God, souls or that the moon is made out of cheese all you want. However, don't be surprised to see these purely speculative claims gather some form of scrutiny when you're trying to propagate them as valid and reliable 'facts'. And that's especially true when the overwhelming majority of these supposed 'facts' are being imposed so zealously and have such a strong influence on morality, human rights (including women's rights) and the almost entirety of a populace's customs. Countless people all around the world are killed, tortured, mutilated and ostracized in the name of a certain 'god'; I'd say that questioning the very existence of such a 'god' is a rather paramount endeavor that requires more than just a compliant 'faith'.
To rewrite your comparison:
Religion bases its facts on faith.
Science bases its facts on facts.
You do notice the absurdity here, right?
And worst of all, said 'faith' often emerged throughout history to vehemently substantiate a calculating ideology. The 'faith' which depicted women as being inferior to men for centuries wasn't all that random, you know. The concept of an 'afterlife' is also extremely popular among Jihadists for a very specific reason. And the fact that Amerindians or Africans were perceived as 'soulless' animals whose existences didn't matter in the slightest was pretty fucking convenient too; there goes the purely contemplative and perfectly harmless notion of 'souls'...
I'm not disagreeing with any of that. I'm just saying science isn't going to save you.
So I'm guessing you'd sell your soul for a good offer?

While religions are perfectly allowed to say that the soul definitively exists even though there's yet to be some way to look for it.
Gotta love the double-standard here...
It's not a double standard. It's a different standard.
Religion is faith based.
Science is fact based.

To me something that doesn't possess any perceptible properties whatsoever perfectly typifies something that doesn't actually exist.
I know, I'm weird like that...
I would say it's a reasonable conclusion.
Some people believe in the supernatural. Hell, there's a whole genre of "Ghost hunting" shows on TV. They just make up what they think the properties of a ghost should be.
I suppose we could do that.

As long as the different faiths make truth claims those are definitely science's business.
I guess we just disagree.
Science can't say definitively that the soul doesn't exist until there's some way to look for it. The pastafarians believe in a flying spaghetti monster but science doesn't need to go hunting for it. Same goes for God.

I wouldn't. It's either not there and I'm being false. Or it's there and the most valuable thing I have.
Though, maybe. For a really good advance on a three book erotica deal.
I don't think that science has any business talking about God or the soul. What properties do they have? How do you measure them? Some things are just faith. And that should be all right, too.

Oddly enough, I am getting "fluids" through an IV at the moment.
Today is my chemo day so I will be sitting here, playing on the computer, while I get cisplatin and gemcitabene and magnesium infused.
I can also read and write. That's cool. So I'll have a lemonade also, Bill. Thanks.
I'll be thinking of you today. I hope your tomorrow is good.
Maybe they could just deliver a little vodka through the IV, to take the edge off.

I lose things. Or maybe it would be more accurate to say that I lose everything. She runs around after me going, "Do you have your ATM Card? Your phone? Keys?". I also have no sense of direction and mix up left and right. So, you can't even say, "Turn right here," because I'll have to think about it.
She, on the other hand, is perfect in every way.

Here's a new one:
It's called: The Limitations of an Online Relationship.
It's just an old-fashioned cyber sex story. No intimidating sex acts and no yellow squash. It's utterly fictional and (I hope) utterly fun.

I submitted last night and then went to bed. I woke up to a million reasons to smile, including this.
Thank you!
Better than a RR is a RRR!
Coffee, please? Sweet and creamy (or, if the sugar isn't sweet and the milk isn't creamy, black)
Also, congratulations, Verbal! I don't know Layla as well as I wish I did but I couldn't be more happy for the two of you.

You are such trash. A professional fucking victim who needs someone to blame. Newsflash, asshole. Just because you're smarter than the two half-wit rednecks you raised doesn't mean shit. I know what you did and I know what you're doing.
Don't act like your husband was a fucking saint. Also don't pretend that you didn't supply him with liquor and then leave him there to make an ass of himself. I wasn't charmed by him pissing in the front yard. And I did adore the blow job gestures he made at me. You also missed the racist rant he yelled at kids headed home from school.
So spare me the cigarette butts, piglet. You made your own fucking bed. And you're just like him, just sober.

I'd pick up heavy things and hold them over my head like the Hulk. I'd go shirtless in my front yard. Men are just born with the knowledge of how to change the oil in their car, right? I'd change my oil MYSELF!
My wife wouldn't have anything to do with me, though, so that would be a bummer.

I haven't encountered a guy who thinks that way on Lush.
Usually that type of guy has a long list of don'ts. Don't have tattoos or piercings. Don't have more than X number of past lovers. Don't challenge him on gender roles. Don't cut your hair short. Otherwise, you're not marriage material.
Honestly, any man who would look down on you for having sex with him isn't worth your time.

Stranger groping has happened to me on public transportation, usually when it was so packed I was standing. I've never done more than give dirty looks, something I regret.
I took martial arts for a while. The owner of the school wouldn't stop with my ass. I eventually quit because of it.
My wife and I are very hands-off in public. It's a habit from when we first got together in the late 90's. However, she would be welcome to try a little public grope, if she wanted to.

Quote by HeraTeleia
My head still hurts from realising that there's actually a thing called Visible Bra Lines. I have somehow struggled through life without the knowledge of this term or even this phenomenon, and now I can't un-know this information. Not that I particularly care; it's not like going from a standing to prone tactical shooting position without a bra to secure my unfortunately ample breasts would be a particularly comfortable proposition.
Instructor: Get down! Hit it!
Me: *hitting it* FUCK OW FUCK OW FUCK OW *sitting back on haunches, dropping my firearm and clutching my breasts*
Instructor: *blinking in awestruck bafflement*
Yah, that'd surely enhance my times.
I thought the whole point of thongs were that they aren't seen, that they don't create panty lines? I don't know, wore one once and hated it.
My love is for ruched-back tanga cut panties, which both a) achieve the no-VPL thing and b) do not end up horribly uncomfortable as thongs are wont to do. That particular cut and style is difficult to find, though--the last time I found a manufacturer (I think it was Cacique, might have been VS) I ordered ten pair. Also love boy cut all lace panties by Hanky Panky. Expensive, but you find them on sale in the oddest places--my most recent purchase was at my hospital's gift shop, where they were on clearance at 40% off and I bought every single pair in my size.
Who knew that a hospital gift shop would carry not just panties but high-end panties? Not me, and I freaking spend a solid half of my life in the same building.
I'm with you. I'm far more worried about my bra not having enough padding than anyone seeing the outline of it.
Incidentally, is there an acronym for that? VNB? (Visible Nipple Bump) CDI? (Chilly Draft Indicator) IPP (Insufficient Padding Problem). If I want to get rid of the visible bra line, other things I don't want you to see are going to be come much more visual.
I'm going to have to check out those boy-cut all lace. I think that you and I have similar comfort needs.

I posted this a couple of weeks ago but didn't promote it!
Dirty Dog, by Burquette
A writer-friend gave me the prompt "Dirty Dog" and the above story was the result. It's a female-dominant, interracial, pegging story... so that's your warning. It's also a RR!
I do love the characters. The female, Sally, is based on a real person I knew in college. I hope you'll give it a try, even if the subject isn't generally your thing.

I'm my own favorite. I would read my own story right now over anyone else's because it's so fucking good. Just my last three stories though... Those are the good ones. My early stories are shit.
It's like the difference between masturbating and getting a hand-job. Sometimes you want to know what you're going to get and sometimes you want someone else to do the work. What are your last three titles, in case I want you to do the work? ;)
When I want a literary hand-job (sorry guys), I read puddleduck, browncoffee, oceanrunner, virgogo, sprite, ravenstar, jen, buz and other people I'm forgetting to list.
When I need a literary sexual mind game, I read avrgblkgrl or Liz.

It breaks my heart. I heard of project Semi Colon here on Lush and I think it's the most wonderful thing, my brother and grandfather both being victims of suicide.
The founder of this project, Amy Bleuel, has died at age 31. She lost her battle with depression.

I've never given them a second thought. HOWEVER, I just got some panties from Victoria's Secret that claims no panty lines and I'll be darned if there aren't any. Have I been missing the boat for years and not paying enough attention to panty lines? Should I be in a thong (Don't answer that)?
What do you think? Huge faux pas or who cares?
