No but some of that is on me. I get all my orgasms through masturbation and there are definitely times I would like to get back to partner sex.

Unchain Utopia ... in my pants - Epica

It has never happened but I would likely enjoy being watched. I sometimes take risks and wonder if I have been seen. That said, I would prefer to have it happen knowingly and with me watching back. Masturbation porn turns me on something fierce.

Have something in the middle right now but definitely lean to smaller and low or no maintenance.

Mow the lawn or hire a local kid to push the mower?

Rain, rain, rain and more rain. 😳

The saying here about rain is that at least you don't have to shovel it to get out of your driveway. 😁 My drive needs a pass but it's cold enough to freeze the proverbial body parts of a brass monkey. And we don't need to get out until Monday when, sadly, we have a family funeral to attend. My middle brother (I am the eldest) lost his wife a week ago.

Whoa, quiet in here. Did everyone go off to join the Bear on his vacay? Or are off prepping for Super Bowl parties?

I'll clean up Bertha and get some dark roast Costa Rican beans ground and brewing. For teas, how about some Yorkshire Gold and Assam Tarajulie. Hot chocolate is also available, with or without marshmallows. And I raided the goodie stash at Inspirations over on StoriesSpace.

This "female Robinson Crusoe with fantasy elements" thing really has legs now. My attempt to yank out the back story exposition and create "chapters" telling that part of the story is now up to two, and probably headed for three, chapters. I have not even touched the main story in a while. There's still a decision to be made about the fantasy element. What is it? I have two options, both involving her meeting and befriending strange beings. I am keeping things SFW for now. There's mention of her having sex with a man she met, but nothing graphic. Just "and then they made love" type things.

That makes no sense. A ban on posting to a group should cover both new posts and replies or it is meaningless. Hopefully, something is stuffed up somewhere because this seems odd to be the expected behaviour. One of the mods or Jen will have to comment.

Nope. That's my lack of experience again.

HYE called a wrong number and met someone interesting?

Concert sounds more fun

Stage musical or Movie musical?

At risk of being banned, American football (including our Canadian variant). Baseball is not far behind, though.

Will you be watching any sports from the upcoming Winter Olympics?

Without movies. I am already there. Without music would be hellish.

Wedding as guest or wedding in the wedding party?

Not much or a bar guy to start with (I am not "dry" per se but don't drink alcohol much) so not sure it is where I would go looking for company. Curiosity? Maybe.

It’s up to 37° here and that’s frigid for South Florida!

It's frigid almost anywhere below the Arctic Circle🥶😁. That said, I would happily take that over the weather we have been getting (below -10C/14F for days now).

Oo, a bear sighting. Rumours will abound.

Meanwhile, I will get Bertha filled up with some Kicking Horse 454 Horsepower dark roast. For teas there's Yorkshire Gold and Irish Breakfast. Kettle is boiled for other fine teas and hot chocolate. I brought mini marshmallows over from Inspirations, the cafe on StoriesSpace, since we are overstocked there.

Good morning!!

I make the former pretty regularly but have not had a good blueberry muffin in a while so that.

Resort or cruise for a "getaway"?

I'm going bald. Not vain enough to bother fighting it or covering it up. Might eventually give in and just shave it clean off.

Travel a distance within your country/region: drive or take a train?

Oo, tough. Probably dijon.

Leather or vinyl for.clothing?

Dating and sex earlier with more partners, including male ones.

Do you sunbathe nude?

Badly. I am depressed. Going out for a midday dinner to see if that helps.

What kind of week ahead are you expecting?

Food. Sex is better when you're not starving.

Miniskirt or daisy dukes?

When even Floridians are freezing their butts off, you know it's a rough winter.🤣 Dear Spring, get yer sorry little ass up here and make it snappy.

I have rarely collaborated. My only two were under my old profile and were me helping a new writer with her first couple stories. A lot of it is that I am just not someone who would go looking for a collab, so if no one approaches me, nothing happens. And there is, as with David, the time factor. My writing is sporadic at best nowadays between other commitments and my general struggle to focus on anything in my personal life. I would be worried about leaving a collaborator in the lurch is I hit a dry spell. Though perhaps collaborating would break or prevent the dry spell.

No. Life's good but I am just getting much enjoyment out of it anymore.

What period of your life would you like to go back to?

Cookie Monster. My Sesame Street days were pre-Elmo.

Fireworks or drone show?

Not since I was a kid.

HYE watched someone else doing something and envied their life?

I had a cookie after lunch the other day. Does that count? But I don't eat much dessert anymore between diabetes and a wife from a culture where it is not the norm.

What is your favourite dessert?

NHIE piloted an aircraft.

Mostly hiking these days. And I often prefer trails that aren't suited to bikes other than maybe a good mountain bike and I am more of a road biker.

Bacon or sausages with pancakes?

Hate the things. I won't smoke anything and they stink worse than almost any smokeable I know of other than maybe pot. So no. And keep them far from me if you do.
