That giant sucking sound?

That giant sucking sound? that would be coming from my checking savings account. Sorry for the noise!

Last night, as I drove home from support group, I noticed that my PA felt a little weird. Just in case you are curious: that subtle sense of something not quite right in that region can be a tad unsettling. Since I was going commando and ( Read more... )

my banks making the same noise, I actually got a phone call from them this evening asking if they can help me adjust myself to increase a savings... I wanted to say transfter other peoples money into my bank, but instead I just explained why I don't want a loan and why I don't want overdraft on my bank (they never seem to understand that)...

mmmm upgrading... sure you can't get it right now, but you're one step further then me!

On other bits, I picked up six feet under for myself, season three... I'll keep my eyes pealed next time I'm there if you want? Unless you manage to nab it before :)

You dog! It's not available in the US yet. I thought Americans were supposed to have the best of everything. :-)

It's going to be a while before I can afford to take you up on that offer, so sit tight. And thanks! You are so good to me.

I know, and even more suprising is I've had it for two weeks and haven't even watched an episode yet (I've been so distracted)!!! but when and if, just let me know :)

Thanks!

And I can't imagine sitting on that for two weeks. The longest I've been able to not watch something I've bought (or at least start to) is like two days.

BWI is actually not a bad trip to Dupont circle. Get off the plane, take the shuttle to the BWI train station. Take any train-Amtrak or MARC into Union Station, which is right on the red line, and take the Metro to Dupont, or get a cab from Union Station.

The more complicated, but less expensive way involves taking a bus from BWI to Greenbelt, then the green line to the red line.

Yeah, I've done it once before, when I was going from some work-related training in the BWI airport to visiting a friend in DC for a couple of days. It would just be a lot easier to start from National Airport than BWI.

... one of the guys I work out with is a hairdresser, and when I mentioned it the other day he went on a big long spiel about how I should do it gradually (i.e cut off 2-3 inches at a time) so it's not such a shock to me

Hairdressers *always* say that. I think it's partly to cover their own arses in case the customer regrets it and tries to blame them, and partly complete self-interest - if your hair is waist-length, say, how many haircuts is it going to take to get it real short if you only take off 2 inches at a time, and it's still growing an inch a month in the meantime?? Yeah, I'm cynical.

When my hair was waist-length and I wanted the lot off in one go, it took me quarter of an hour to persuade the hairdresser that no, I wasn't kidding, and no, I didn't want to do it in stages, and no, I wasn't going to get her sacked if I didn't like the end result. For chrissakes! In the end, I picked up her scissors and threatened to hack it off myself, and then have her tidy it up for me. At that point, she relented.

I figured it was simply a hairdresser thing to say (and I share your cynicism), but even after I told him that I've cut off a ponytail before, and last time I went from hair just past my shoulder to a #2 buzz cut, he still kept at it.

He would probably get over it quickly enough, but right now I just don't feel like dealing with his initial reaction. He's enough of a drama queen to where I know that reaction would probably be quite pronounced. If the hair really starts to get to me before then, though, then I'll just grit my teeth and bear it.

Maybe I'll do it just before the last time we meet. Heh heh heh...

I've occasionally lost a ball from my PA, or other jewelry, and have always found it again. I'm up to 7 mm now, hoping for 8 mm before I stop trying to stretch.

I usually give the ball a tighten each time I pee (after drying the area). As I'm on a diuretic for HBP, that means a lot of tightening--I haven't lost one in a while.

The last time I lost one I hadn't noticed, and as I was walking around the house I heard a KLANG as the entire ring fell out of my dick. Most disconcerting.

You have a PA? I never would have guessed. :-)

That's happened to me once since December, when I switched from a CBR to a circular barbell. It was relatively easy to find the missing ball. This time, though, it either happened in the meeting or in the parking lot, at night, which basically means that the ball is lost. I'll be amazed if I manage to find it.

I will probably become a lot more paranoid mindful of checking it now.

No one expects the German Inquisition...er....Spanish Inquisition.

My ex bf used to tell me when I mentioned that I'd like to get a PA that he'd leave me if I did. So I refrained. Well, he then double-timed me with a fatter, richer, hairier American living in Singapore, so we broke up. Afterwards I said to myself, "Why not?" I now use the original ring as an earring (after disinfection). I use a screw-ball ring that looks like a CBR but actually has a threaded hole in one side of the end of the ring in which the ball is attached.

Checking is easy--whenever you pee, just give each side a tighten. It'll be second nature after a while.

I actually think you would look stunning with a buzz cut, Darren. You have just the right face!

Just saying . .

*blush* Thanks!

Odds are that you'll get to see it for yourself. I really can't imagine not cutting it off before we head up there again. To be honest, I'm not so sure I'll even make it thru May...
