I am excited

It's been quite some time. I'm the sexiest now

Sorry about the glitch in my phone for reposting over and over. Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe in this crazy world we inhabit. I truly need to get in here more often. I miss my lush fam just between life not ready to give up on what I truly enjoyed about being here with all the changes that have been made it's hard. Losing friends by them leaving of their own accord or otherwise has been really rough on my heart. It makes coming back even harder. I know this is lush but I know I made real true friendships and it's hard to mourn the losses. I'm grateful for the people I am still in contact with offlush but definitely am missing others. Larry's passing hit me very hard and missing out on sharing my news with him has left a hole in me right now. I don't want that to happen with anyone else I'm close too. I regret not coming back more to check in with him and to see how he was. We had just always had our own communication that no matter how long passed we'd just pick right back up. Anyway now that I've cried in my beer for the evening thanks to anyone that read this far. I'll go back to celebrate my baby with another round of shots for anyone who is around.

Good evening everyone. Drinks are on me tonight. I'm celebrating the birth of my newest grandbaby. This is our third grandson. Can't wait to meet him.

Happy Birthday Lilly. Hope you had a wonderful day and I'm sure Tony treated you like the princess you are.

Happy birthday, love

Please take a moment to wish the amazing ChrisM a happy birthday

I'm feeling like we need some Sheryl Crow this morning…Soak Up the Sun…

Good morning, Jim. My littley did an amazing solo dance to this song last year. This year she has expanded her skills and is doing two solos. If I figure out how to load music I'll show you the song. One song is a kiddie song by JoJo Siwa but the second is different for her.

Anyway I wrote a little poem on the other side. I'd love if y'all could check it. Especially the cover photo as my littley drew it.

Good morning to all of you guys. I hope everyone is doing well. I am going to attempt some reading today. Maybe even a little writing. I started an entry for the comp but not sure if I will get it finished. Fingers crossed.

Now my pain meds are making me drowsy as I had surgery yesterday. I'd love a cup of tea to take a long. Thank you. Miss you guys.

Hey, hey, fam. Good evening. Just thought I'd stop in and see how everyone is doing. I miss y'all. Life is life though and keeps me really busy. My (not so) littley keeps me on a pretty tight schedule every evening and several weekends. Add to that, my third grandbaby will be arriving in March. I've tried to at least pop by the site once in awhile but generally just enough to check my notifications and email. I'd love a cup of hot chocolate please. It's chilly and rainy here tonight. I'll stick around for a bit and try to see a bit if all I've missed.

Happy Australia Day to any of yas down under.

Good morning Rump's. I was finally able to write a little something. I would love it if you'd check out my comp story Deliverance. Thank you so much. Now I'd love a cup of tea, please. I hope everyone is doing well. I do miss the time I used to have to read, write, and hang out here but that's not happening anytime soon. I'm going to get another grandbaby in March. Of course I do keep you all in my thoughts and check my mail St least every other day.

Howdy Rumpies fam. Been a minute since I've been online. I'm sitting here on day 5 of covid quarantine and truly can't believe how much it has wiped me out. I truly miss my lush family and hope everyone is doing well.. Kimmi sorry to see that you had to have surgery but am glad you are through the worse of it. Stay safe and healthy my friends

Good morning Lush Fam. Lights on Big Bertha has been de-sludged (saved for Carl) rinsed and filled with some of her best caffeinated greatness. The kettle is on for tea and cocoa. There's a few day old donuts on the bar. Can I get you anything?

First day back after a long weekend and I'm tired. I didn't do too much though. No picnics or anything like that. My littley is excited she only has 4 full days and 5 half days left of school. Summer break already. Can't belive she is going to be 8 in less than a month. She is such a joy to me.

Anyway, hope everyone is doing well. It's great to see you Rachel. I'm gonna have some tea and just chill for a few more minutes. Have a great day. 💜

Good morning Rumpies. Looks like I'm tbe first one here. Bertha had been de-sludged (saved for Carl), rinsed and filled with Jersey water and some dark roast. The kettle is on for tea and cocoa. Hopefully one of the gentlemen will bring in some sweets.

Hope everyone is doing well. I'm doing ok. We are getting ready for recital in a few weeks and my littley is auditioning for their first production performance of the Nutcracker next season. My littley also surprised me and gave me her new painting. She is something.

Good morning James. Thank you for setting up and it's exciting to be moving into a new cave. I've lived in mother-in-law's house for 23 years. Prior to that I lived with my own family. The only time I was on my own was in the Navy. Such is life. Anyway, my heart is broken this morning as I see the tragedy in Texas unfold. I look at my baby girl and think how could someone harm these babies. Please keep these families in your thoughts. I'll have a cup of tea please. Have a great day everyone. 💜

Good morning Rump's. Thank you for the set-up James. I popped in earlier (forgot to push send). Today is a cool wet Friday here in Jersey. Tomorrow is my littley's last comp of the season. She's excited except for having to wake up at 5am Here'sthe song for her solo dance. I'll have a cup of tea please. .

Good morning. Lights on Bertha has been de-sludged (saved for Carl) rinsed and filled with some of her best caffeinated greatness. The kettle is on for tea and cocoa. I'll leave the treats to the men around here. Not sure how many people know this but I live in constant pain. Last night I went to have a massage. It was a cupping massage and this morning I have circular bruises on my back that are kinda painful. Don't think I'll have another one of these. I really hoped it would give me a bit more flexibility and relief.

Anyway,, today is going to be a beautiful day here in Jersey. Not much going on today. After having everyone over last night, I think today will be a quiet day. I think I'll grab a cup of tea and sit over here in the corner to await other rumpies.

Have a great day everyone. 💜

Good morning James. Thank you for the set-up. I'd love a cup of tea please. No sweets for me though. It's a rainy hump day here in Jersey. Just for you James this is my Pup Ruby Roo. Hope everyone has a beautiful day.

Oh silly Bear, you have it ALL wrong. Cats are just more selective. Unlike dogs who will lick anything, cats make you earn their trust and devotion. And most humans (and polar bears) aren't patient enough. Remember which species has been revered by other cultures in the past and which ... hasn't. 😊 And pussies have always come when I called ...

Kimmi I'm with you. I have 8 cats. They each have their own personality that's for sure. We have 4 black cats 1 black and white, 1 calico and two tabbies. Here we have my littley's cat Fred,after Freddie Mercury,, then we have Shelby,like the car, and finally, this is how we grow Dasies. They can be a pain at times but they love to cuddle as well. I will take them over our new Pup though.

Was a long and sad evening our little kitty passed away suddenly in her sleep, I can only think she had 5 loving days with us. I gently placed her overlooking the stream facing East.

Not really in the mood for music this morning so my Rump friends remember how lucky we are to have our loved ones for time can be long or short

Had these pecan cinnamon rolls made, enjoy one guys and ladies

So sorry to hear a bout your little kitty my friend. It's always sad when we lose our four-legged family members. You've put her to rest in the perfect peaceful area.

As for littley, she is having 2 parties. One with friends and it will be at the art studio she goes to. She chose that they will be painting Bruno from Encanto. The next day on her actual birthday we are having some family together for swimming and pizza.

Waiting to get I to my appointment and need a drink to relax. Is that Beaver's Breath Brandy still around? I'll take a shot with a lager chaser. Hope everyone has a great day/night. 💜

Good morning Rumpies. Let's see if I remember how to do this. Big Bertha is rinsed out a filled with some Columbian toast coffee. The kettle is on for tea and cocoa and I'm sure fuzzy or james will be bringing some donuts along shortly.

I hope everyone is doing well this morning. It's quite easy for me but my s/o had to go to work early. Not too much going on in my life outside of the norm. We did rescue a dog 3 weeks ago. This has been a little bit challenging but she will get it. Hopefully our 8 cats don't hate us forever though. My littley has her last comp of the season this weekend. She is excited for it as well as preparing for her recital next month. We can't believe she is going to 8 in just over a month. Time sure does seem to be flying.

I haven't had any new ideas for stories or the time to read much but do keep hoping that will change. I think I am going to grab some tea and roam around a little while before starting the rest of my. Hope everyone has a wonderful day. 💜

Congratulations to all who placed and everyone who entered.

My littley's last art project.

Goooooooood Morninggggg Rumpies, said in my best Robin Williams Good Morning Vietnam voice. A friendly lion stopped by and told me i should drop in. I hope everyone is doing well. I am ok just haven't really been around lush much. I feel like my safe place is gone. This new platform has changed things so much and many of my close friends are gone. It definitely makes it to not feel like "home" anymore. A quick update on what's been going on with me. My littley is growing like a weed and she has been in two competitions so far. She has been doing amazing and her team has won high gold and gold. They were also voted as bound for big things. They are the future of dancing. They also are nominated as entertainer of the year at this year's nationals. She has done her first solo and received two medals. Both solid gold. She has one more competition and her recital left. She is also learning how to play songs on the piano now, which really makes her happy. Her practice is finally showing her what the results can be. Lastly, her artwork is amazing. Enough of my rambling. I will try to pop in more often. I would have to go back sooooo many pages to catch up on what's happening with everyone. I do hope all is well and please feel free to send me a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Now I'd love a cup of tea please.

Happy birthday, Sara. I hope you had an amazing day.

I’ve been a member of Lush for several years now. I know I'm not one of the oldest members or even a well-known one at that.  With that being said I was a silent but active member. I would stay logged in and look forward to forum posts and stories from the amazing authors as well as so much more. I've been following the "new" lush 2.0 for the last few months and have seen so many changes that make the site not what it once was. I've seen many of those amazing authors leave and friendships made here lost. I'm sure this new software technology is supposed to be better but in my opinion it took away a core part of this site. Everything is more difficult to do, again this is just my opinion. Trying to post to walls is harder instead of easier. The forums are not as easy to negotiate to find the last posts.  You can no longer send bulk messages to your friends and followers. After these months it's still a hit or miss to even know if someone you follow posts a story. I know lush is a sex story site but for some of us it was so much more. This was a place I was able to not only find myself but be myself as well and make some great friends. The very things that separated this site from other erotic literature sites are now gone. Just sharing my opinion and the bar is a great place to get things off your chest. Now I'll have some tea.

HELLO Rump's. It's been about a minute since I've been able to get in here to do any posting. I hope everyone had a great Christmas. I've been busy doing all the things mom's do for Christmas for their kids and grandkids. Basically I've had children for the whole month of December. My nephew's class was quarantined so he had been with me for remote learning. Prior to that at different times all three of my nephew's were sick with colds that meant they sated home with me. Of course that meant my littley caught it and missed a couple days of school as well. I'm on my second round of this darn thing. (We've been tested not covid) in between I also had my youngest grandson every weekend and a couple days a week. On top of all of this my littleys activities kept me busy every night. I need this weekend just to recover lol. Have y'all missed my rambling posts. Seriously though I've missed lush even if it's hard to recognize and so many of my closest friends have left or aren't around as much. It seems to have lost the connection and sense of familiar closeness that Lush was for so many of us. I even noticed the comp doesn't have as many stories as there once was. Sad to see so many people missing from that list. Anyway, how's everyone? I haven't seen posts from Bill or Larry or Carl. Anyone know how they are? I'll take a cup of coffee while I look around a bit and see what else I've been missing.

I've been diagnosed with PTSD, clinical depression, anxiety, and at one time while in the Navy having a personality disorder. Mental health issues also run in my family. I have a brother who is schizoaffective, bipolar, with multiple personalities.

I've been in and out of therapy since I was probably seven or eight. I've also taken meds as an adult. Zoloft, Xanax, wellbutrin,, and I'm sure I'm forgetting something. Currently I take a combination to keep my depression at bay and the PTSD nightmares away. I've had some good therapists, some great ones and some that just sucked. I've also found if you're not comfortable with the therapist or they don't take the time to see you and do what they need to draw things out then it isn't as affective as it could be. Currently I have teletherapy which I feel doesn't exactly do the job but there is someone on the other side listening to you. I cope by telling myself no one can hurt me again, guarding myself, taking my meds and putting on a brave face for those around me.

Good morning and happy Sunday Rumpies. Today is going to be a beautiful brisk fall day. The first one we've had this year really. My littley went to Hallofun at Knoebels yesterday and will be back later today. The pictures look like she is having a lot of fun. Speaking of my littley she is growing like a weed. I feel like I just bought her new sizes for school and she is already moving up again. Sometimes it's hard to keep up. I already have a full bag of clothes to donate/give away and now I will be putting together another one. Anyway boring life stuff I know. Does anyone know if Bill will be able to get back on? Has he found a way to get his reader to work with new Lush? Place isn't the same without him. I've noticed lots of Lush family has not been around much myself included. I hope everyone can still find their place here. Now I'd love some hot tea please. Off to make some breakfast. Have a great Sunday. Hugs

Good evening. Just found out the author that drew me to join lush has decided to take her stories elsewhere. A sad day considering I believe she has more stories than anyone. This site is just not the same. It doesn't feel like the family I had and the place I found to escape life. 

Anyway, enough of that, I was talking with my Littley's dance instructor and she is moving up next year as well as doing her solo at the last comp. She spilled the tea to me about having to kick someone out after this year. That's said but if she is doing that it must be for a reason. My girl is learning a move that is more for senior dancers (teenagers) not a petite. I'm excited to see her master it. She is doing great at school and was thinking of her Alaskan fireman friend this week as it's fire prevention week as well as respect week. Tomorrow she is dressing like wonder woman for H.E.R.O. (Help, Encourage, Respect, Others) day.  It's been a fun week to start off Bullying awareness month. 

Guess I'll grab a drink to knock me out before it gets much later.  Hope everyone is doing well. (Hugs)
