Interesting to talk about comfort zone when writing erotica. I guess everything I am interested in writing is outside my comfort zone experientially. If it was in my comfort zone it wouldn't work as erotica... Like reading fantasy without any magic. But there are two standards at play... Comfortable to read or write and comfortable to experience. For me they are poles apart. For now at least.

Oo never occurred to me to feel guilty about this one - I thought she was ckassy! But great choice. I loved this album. Here is another of mine

Thanks @icewlf I remember I think it was your first full day... walking round Central World, and everything was silent... all the screens in the department store were off, No music playing anywhere - you don't realise how much of your life (especially if you live in a city) has background music piped into it, until someone turns it off. Richard Barrow is one of the foremost western commentators on Thailand, he is not a professional journalist and rarely ventures to give opinions (unless it is on travel). He simply states the official line, in English, for tourists. None the less he has a great series of posts about the forthcoming funeral: the preparations; how to behave; what to expect. http://www.thaitravelblogs.com/category/royal-funeral/

HM King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand passed away a year ago today. Actually @icewlfwas on his way to visit us and was in the air as the news broke so he landed to find a country deep in mourning. For many people this would ruin their holiday (the people were subdued, the country was working out how to mourn, alcohol and nightlife suddenly became a bit of a hot topic) but as @icewlf is a lover of high Thai culture rather than the low kind I think it enriched his experience, and he felt honoured to be part of a country grieving the loss of their father recognising it for the once in a lifetime experience it was. To say King Bhumibol Adulyadej is revered is almost an understatement. He is considered a god here in Thailand, and although I cannot put my hand on my heart and say any human deserves such reverence - if anyone did it would be him. Views on royalty and privilege aside, he dedicated his life to his people and loved them with every fiber of his being. He also behaved impeccably throughout his life on the throne and was what I would call a modern day Renaissance Man. He has been mourned for a full year. Now exactly a year since his death his final journey begins and that journey will terminate in his public cremation in the heart of Bangkok's Royal district at 10pm on October 26th. I thought I would document these final few days, and collect relevant links in one place, for myself as much as anything. Feel free to comment and ask questions. Here is an old history channel documentary about HM if you are interested in him but have never heard of him. It is dated and very much a superficial introduction but a good place to start.

I am beginning to think our rainy season will never end. I would love a few flakes of snow.

Yes, I feel that going to the last unread post seems more difficult than it used to be - I forget to click on the button! Also notice this version of ipb software had 3 different views: table grid and fluid. Table is what we are most used to... but fluid pulls everything out of the forums so if you can get used to the difference you might find it easier.

Happy birthday Rioblane. I hope you have a lovely day!

videoing @Timberwolf playing hockey with my new toy,,, it was so fun

Definitely interested... I really like him. The only issue I have with him is the extreme patriotism that being in the military has created in him. It just jars with his level headed intelligence in every other area.

I sooooooooo wish I lived closer *hug*

Instagram is my favourite too.

I just make it up... bananas vanilla, splash of coconut milk (because it is cheap and plentiful here - unlike almond milk) and whatever fruit I have available. I like frozen mango best - but I have also just eaten it banana vanilla with swirls of almond butter or peanut butter. So delicious.

@Cyrainha ha I know he is, I left that pic there knowing that you would appreciate it. But I do look like him with make-up on... We have a similar shaped face and pull a lot of ironic faces. Also I am rubbish putting make-up on so that adds to the drag queen look

@Timberwolf yeah that is what I loved too. That he talked about how hard it is, even for him at this stage.

@fox loves that quote too... the original 'to' version that is

I know, lol. What about this one @Timberwolf?

Not everyone's cup of tea... but I think he gets to the crux of the matter in a compelling way.

And I mean Miley, not James Corden

Do you have any media based guilty pleasures? Not something you brag about or discuss in the office maybe - but something you enjoy on your own, with perhaps a tub of ice-cream... Here is one of mine:

Pretty sure she is a daemon *nods* As erotica, reading about frustration doesn't work for me... I am not much for withheld orgasms,,, (as @Timberwolf will attest when he has teased me too long I get angry and I believe I have even kicked him lol). But as a technical exercise it is interesting, and made an entertaining short.

I can indeed @Kethlia This is one of @fox's fave recipe ladies: http://thebettyrocker.com/strawberry-nice-cream/ http://thebettyrocker.com/chocolate-nice-cream-dairy-free-vegan-sugar-free/ I use a blender though, as I don't have a food processor.

Haha - thanks @Timberwolf, I had seen this thread and was purposely staying out of it. I have been known to enjoy the occasional adult themed AU (Alternate Universe) storylines on AoOO (archive of our own). My preferred Fandoms are: Supernatural (because brothers); Black Sails (because pirates) and Poldark (because obviously). *slinks out of thread with rosy cheeks*

I would wear makeup but it makes me look like Eddie Izzard

No one maybe? I cancelled my gym membership, but we have a set of weights. I don’t really know how to use them effectively.

Yeah @fox I understand completely. Before I did this low carb experiment I tried high carb for a while and that include a regular bowl of delicious nice cream. BUT i always had it for a meal, not as a snack. It is very healthy! Btw, high carb worked fine for weight loss too but I couldn’t stick to it, because if the carb addiction... a false sense of hunger and cravings led to binging insanity.
