But what about us who have no money? That means that no matter how active we are in the site or anything like that we never get our status' changed.... I think it would be better if the more active ones of us would be able to get it as well as those with gold.


I totally get your point.

Perhaps it's just mods and the mods of the blue site who get them? That would make sense, because after all, Admin do have a lot to do. Guess I'm going to have to up my game and see if I can become the official Lush Gingerbread Verifier.

Hi rapunzel.
The Forum Ranks are at first changing after how many posts you've posted.
Hence the change from Active Ink Slinger to Forum Guru.

If you want another rank than Forum Guru, you can contact Nicola(site matriarch)about it.
(My Rank was given to me. One day it was just changed and I loved it.)


Ah, that's where I went wrong. I asked Gav for "Gingerbread Lover" under mine, but I didn't get it. I came to the conclusion that this must be a site where you have to earn a given status (of the specially tailored variety), as opposed to just asking for it.

One site I'm on, they'd let you have pretty much what you wanted, until (at the time, there are now many more) 50,000 members cottoned on, and all started wanting things like "Bass Turd" and "Effing Shark Slayer"under their names. Admin just couldn't cope with all the requests! I would guess with the hundreds of thousands of members here, a free-for-all on the rank lines would end up with things like... actually, I don't dare think about it.

And I bet Admin would need physiotherapy for their RSI-injured wrists (if they don't need it already. )

I don't understand why people can't just be people, and seen as people. I don't get all the labels and stuff. You meet a person, you like/don't like them, you fancy them/don't fancy them. I don't get it. The leagues and scales thing is like saying, "Don't even bother to get to know that person, they won't even talk to you because you're a 2 and they're a 9." That makes us both losers.

Volition, it sounds to me as if your friend might be one of those people who is happy being unhappy. You can try all you like to try and make things better for her, but only she can do anything about it. I've had many friends like that (I look at one in the mirror every day and have to kick her ass, and it's hard work). Some people just don't want to change. Worse than sad for them, it's annoying and sad for you. But it may be something you have to come to terms with.

This is the fucking shit that I was born with. I can't fucking do anything about it. This is the piece of shit that I was given, and yes, I ended up abusing it because if I did first, it would be ruined even more before you got your fucking hands and evil words on it again and made it even more broken. And when I did something positive about it, what did you do but make it a million times worse! I can't do right for doing wrong. Do you think I want to be here for your fucking entertainment? No, I fucking DON'T. But I have no choice because unlike you, I care about the fact that other people will have to clean up the fucking mess. I KNOW why I'm not what you think I ought to be, and I KNOW why people say the things they do, and I can't fucking change nature, no matter how much I wish I could. I hope nature turns around and bites you on the ass (not in the fun way). I hope you experience the pain and the crap and the darkness just once before you die, because then you will know just how it feels to be trapped and unable to do anything about it. And if it turns out that it all goes wrong, then I hope doubly that you experience the crap, because then I will be able to rest easy. And when you turn up and go, "You know what? That shit hurt," I can laugh in your fucking face and be glad. Why can't you just leave me alone? Why can't you just die and stay where you belong? Just. Fuck. Off.

Now this may be beaten to death or a very sensitive issue for most, so I'll do my best not create trouble.

One of the only females I can actually call a friend, has a bit of an issue with the guys, always has. She's always been a little heavier, but she's an amazing person and beautiful in her own right. Over the years she's been labeled as the "fun to f*ck, more fun to ditch," type of girl by the guys she's attracted to. She loves the "underwear model" type of guy and refuses to look elsewhere even though those guys have numerous more options. She says she's tired of just being the fat girl who's good enough to sleep with, but never good enough to date.

My question is, how do I motivate her to either; workout and change her body, or instill a sense of self worth in her so she doesn't take the bullshit? Like I said, she's an amazing person and is actually quite cute, she just tends to pick shallow losers.


In my opinion, she's very lucky they have sex with her. Some of us are so fat nobody wants to do it with with us whether we've managed to lose four stone or not. She may also just be in the habit of moaning about it, and be in that mindset, rather than actually being seriously upset by it. Some people are happier moaning than not.

Sometimes, there comes a point with our moaning friends where we just have to look them straight in the eye and say, "Moaning about this is not going to change anything. I can either listen to you incessantly and nothing will change, or I can help you do something about it. Which do you want to do, because I am more than happy to work through this with you, but moaning and no action is not going to solve it."

I would also ask the question, why isn't she good enough to date? Is it her attitude, as opposed to her looks? There's a difference. If she loves the underwear mdoel types, it says to me that she is probably quite shallow herself, and therefore shouldn't be too upset when others overlook her in favour of a different kind of personality. Why is she not good enough to date? Is it really her looks? Is it that she has overly idealistic expectations? Is it that she doesn't have opportunity to get to know people who care about the inside too?

What bullshit is she taking? People saying cruel things to her? Or is it that she thinks cruel things about herself. It's hard to know what you mean, I'm afraid. If she picks shallow losers, maybe pointing that out to her, and asking her why that is, would help? Maybe working with her on how she takes being dumped would help too. Does she go off on one and throw a strop? Does she scream in the street? Does she hide away eating icecream? Without knowing more about her, it's hard to really comment.

I'd say be straight (in a kind way) with her and give her an option to either hear what you have to say to her that you hope will help because you care about her, or to be clear with you if she wants to carry on as she is.




Dancing_Doll, I've seen posts before about "leagues of attractiveness" and "able to get." Is that a physical thing only? Because it leaves the Ugly people out in the cold, and no wonder we're (un)fucking miserable.

I think your profile ROCKS (even though I can't stand Kate Nash). I think it shows the fun side of you, and it's awesome. So the plonker who messaged you can bog off, because they aren't as fun as you, so there, plonker person!

I keep getting asked by random people to show my nipples in my albums. The person who kept asking to see my pussy got sent a picture of my dead cat (don't worry, the picture was taken when she was still alive). His account got deleted, or something.

ridindirty, without trying to be mean, and without reading through your currently copious threads (because I don't have the inclination, sorry), would I be wrong in thinking that you either have a lot of questions, or are in desperate need of a wank, or need help exploring the search facility?

Because I can help with the latter, but not the others. Let me know.

nice /nīs/
Adjective:

- Pleasant; agreeable; satisfactory: "we had a nice time".
- (of a person) Pleasant in manner; good-natured; kind: "he's a really nice guy".



"Nice." It has generally become known as a very mediocre word, i.e. "I can't find anything bad to say about it, but then, I can't find anything particularly good either." It is often used in a sarcastic way, too.

If you have ever used the word on somebody's work, could you please clarify your use of it? Was it sarcasm? Was it, "Meh, but more positive meh than negative meh"? Was it, "I feel I ought to say something, but words completely escape me because it wasn't that great, but it could have been worse"?

I have a saying at work, "I will do anything for Nice people." And on Lush, there are what I call Nice people." But my meaning of the word is quite a bit stronger than the general "nice" in common everyday usage. When I use it, it means somebody who is exceedingly pleasant and fun to spend time with - more "jolly" without using the word "jolly", because it's not so Santa-Clausy as "jolly" usually means. But then, a lot of words have very different definitions in my own head than they do in the real world.

I would appreciate your definition of your use of the word "nice" (and even how you feel if you receive it). Thank you.

As an experimental author (I say experimental because I'm not sure if I'd exactly classify myself as an author just yet because as of now I'm just messing around with the writing thing) I find that I get lots of messages from people giving me "suggestions" on how the next installment of my stories should play out. Or even ideas for spin-offs for my existing stories. I try not to be a bitch about it, but I find it extremely annoying when everyone is bursting with so many ideas for MY stories. And it's usually from people who don't write stories themselves. I mean I understand and appreciate the enthusiasm and all the support and positive feedback I get. But sometimes I really want to just tell people "Back off! This is MY thing! If you have such great story ideas, write them yourself!".

Am I the only one that gets peeved about it? Or am I just making a mountain out of a molehill and should just take it all with a grain of salt??


Ha ha ha! (Sorry) I believe what they really want, is not to help you be a better writer, but rather, to have their fantasy all laid out for them. It's pure laziness, lass! If they get a writer to fill in all the bespoke details for them, they can wank over it without having to do any of the work of thinking it up themselves!

I would say, if their idea appeals to you, run with it. If it doesn't, let the suggestion bog off and die with the delete button.

Yes, absolutely take it with a pinch of salt, but also be happy that you are good enough (and I confirm, I think you are) that people want you to flesh out their fantasies for you. Lazy beggars.

Find your own style, and enjoy doing it. And save all the requests to write your own satire (it's fun).

You say you're not good at confrontation, but that's probably what's required. If it were me, since email seems to be a primary form of communication, I would say, "It seems that you aren't very interested in hearing from me. If I'm mistaken, please let me know. If there's some reason you're not being very talkative, please let me know if it's something I can do something about"

Then you wait. If you don't get an answer, you've got your answer.


I agree. It gives her the opportunity to tell you what's bothering her, and if she doesn't take that opportunity, then either she has things in her life to sort out (whether it be finding the confidence to be honest with you, or working out what it is she wants, etc), or to not respond. If she doesn't respond, like 1ball says, you have your answer, hard as that may be. It would be hurtful, but you would at least be able to move forward. And if there is a problem that she communicates, you will have opportunity to work out how to solve it.

It's official...I am the biggest procrastinator in the history of the world. And here is my proof.
(Writing this poem somehow seemed more urgent than anything else I have going on...)

Ripped off from Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken"

The Cock Not Taken

Two men moved into my neighborhood,
And sorry I could not sleep with both
And be one woman, long I stood
And stared at one as hard as I could
From his eyes to his hair to his bearded growth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because he was sexy with better hair,
Though the biceps on them made me stare
And lust for them each about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In sheets no pussy had gotten wet.
Oh, I saved the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I assumed that cock I might never get.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two men moved into my neighborhood, and I,
I took the man who unzipped his fly,
And that has made all the difference.

I'm a bit embarrassed to say this out loud but I need to ask this!

I'm single and I mostly masturbate. The issue is once I have an orgasm I don't want to do it anymore. No matter how many times I tell myself that I should or rather I want multiple orgasms but as soon as I reach my climax I just don't want to do it more. I have one hell of a sex drive but still. Can someone help me?


It's perfectly normal not to have multiple orgasms! Not everybody does. Everyone's bodies are different - they look different, they are wired differently. It sounds like you have got yourself into a bit of a flap (pun not intended) about this issue. But if your body is satisified with one orgasm, or indeed, can only cope with one, then personally, if you enjoy that one orgasm at a time, I can't see why it's an issue.

There are different techniques and exercises and toys that you could try, but nobody knows your body like you. Shouting at yourself and getting frustrated is a surefire way to make problems for yourself. I am sure there are many people who give you tips and tricks and things to try, but I would say, try not to worry about it, just enjoy masturbating. Read up on some masturbation techniques, maybe watch some porn, read some stories, etc, and just enjoy exploring your body for the fun of it, as opposed to trying to reach something that perhaps your body is not able to (at least for now).

In short, play with yourself, and enjoy it. Do not worry about what you cannot achieve. Instead, enjoy what you can, and have fun perfecting it!

This encapsulates all that I cannot express of my gratitude and respect for not only our Fallen heroes and heroines, but those in service now, or were in service, or will be. There is no greater tribute that could be paid to those who lay down their lives for our freedom and existence than words that will carry their spirits through the ages. This poem is a breathing memorial for those we carry in our hearts, and it will always speak to me deeply.

For The Fallen

With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,
England mourns for her dead across the sea.
Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,
Fallen in the cause of the free.

Solemn the drums thrill; Death august and royal
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres,
There is music in the midst of desolation
And a glory that shines upon our tears.

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables of home;
They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
They sleep beyond England's foam.

But where our desires are and our hopes profound,
Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,
To the innermost heart of their own land they are known
As the stars are known to the Night;

As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,
Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain;
As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,
To the end, to the end, they remain."

I have to slightly disagree, I'm afraid. I doubt we will get an answer at all. But I do agree that whatever the answer actually is, then it no doubt is very involved.

Why?

I always want to know what will happen in a book; I often turn to the end to see how it will end on the last page, and then enjoy the process of getting there. I don't mind predictable, as long as it's written well.

One of my recent stories got labelled as having a twist at the end, but the truth is, I didnt know how else to end it, so I simply flipped the characters round to echo the beginning. The twist was purely luck(?).

Some books I read (I tend to read more books than short stories), and the writer takes me all over the place, simply to get to the point where I was expecting it to go anyway, and all it did was annoy my by wandering around endlessly. Others lead me through what I think is fairly simplistic, and then smack me with a shock at the end. I don't mind a soft, gentle story with an obvious end, as long as you made my imagination work overtime (in a good way).

I love the journey of a story, not neccessarily the surprise destination.
