(I was such a good girl and stayed away from the eplaya all afternoon; however, I still managed to spend all this time thinking of you and not typing. I'm obsessed. I'm excited about these ________ though! Yay!)

Embrace the power of "and"....

And then embrace me.

awww, thanks regyna; I love you too!

as far as Tony goes, massages are welcome minus all the supposition and subsequent yelling. I (hope) he knows how much I love him, too (have I told you lately, that I love you Tony?).

Menstrual report: So, I've still not started.....been a hell of a premenstrual week emotionally. I hope today is the day; I need the release! I feel like I'm dying. I've got the low back ache going on, and my belly is super tender.....good signs.

Hmmm, cyber-pheromes. That's not supposed to work in the real world.

Lydia... I'd give you one of my world famous back massages if I were there....

*tucking Giggles back under the blanket, putting mug of raspberry leaf and clover blossom tea next to her* Here, sweetie...

there's a bell here that I got from my naturopathy... look, the handle is in the shape of a woman's torso... you just ring it if you need me, okay?

bananaphone

doot do do do do...

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Tue Jan 11, 2005 9:32 am

what can i do for you, giggles?

if you're not careful with that bananaphone, you're gonna get Donita's monkey in here again...

gigglesnort · Post by **gigglesnort** » Tue Jan 11, 2005 9:41 am

(hehehe it works!)

Um, yes Miss Elise, could you answer the bananaphone please?

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Tue Jan 11, 2005 9:45 am

as you wish...

*answering Bananaphone... listening....nodding....setting Bananaphone back on the cradle*

It was Donita's monkey. She says that she's found her true love. That's the real reason Brad and Jennifer split up. Monkey and Brad will be moving into the house that he and Jen bought on Bainbridge Island. If we need to get ahold of Monkey, we're supposed to send a Bananamessenger over on the ferry.

So, um... looking for advice from women who've had more recent dating experience than me...

Let's say I'm going to go hang out with a fellah who has good reason (i.e. precedent) to think he'll get lucky.

At what point do y'all think it's a good idea to let him know that he still can but it'll be a bloody fucking mess in the most literal of ways?

This is how I do it:

[Casually]
Me: "oh, jeebus, my back hurts. I either need a massage or a good fuck to set it stright"
Boy: "oh really, why does it hurt?"
Me: "well, not for sure, but Im' thinking it has to do with the fact that I'm on my period"

both permission and warning..

or:

you can put it on his side:

"um, I've been meaning to ask you: how do you feel about having sex with a girl who's on her period?"

that's usually enough to make the boy think "gee, theres a reason she's asking..."

see, now, me, being NOT SUBTLE with my boy, I just say something about "hey, lets put a towel on the bed now, so we don't forget later"

gigglesnort · Post by **gigglesnort** » Tue Jan 11, 2005 5:41 pm

Lydia Love, can't say i've got tons of dating experience, but when the issue came up with the beau the first time, I waited until I knew he wanted to then oh-so-smoothly chimed in with "You should know that it'll look like a bloody civil war battlefield when we're through."

uh, aren't you married? Not that it's any of my business or anything, but curiosity kills this cat, ya know.

gigglesnort · Post by **gigglesnort** » Tue Jan 11, 2005 5:44 pm

I have to add that the beau hasn't missed fucking me on the rag yet.....next month will be a whole year. wow.

PurpleKoosh · Post by **PurpleKoosh** » Tue Jan 11, 2005 5:48 pm

I'd go with Guini's second option, personally. And I wish I'd had the presence of mind to handle it that way the night I got my red wings - but I was just so stunned I was going to wind up in bed with the guy that nothing was said until we were already naked and in the clinch:

Him: Are you bleeding?
Me: Yeah. Is it a problem?
Him: No... *proceeds to do his Dracula impression*

(My favorite memory from that evening is one of my all-time favorite sexual memories, in fact: Curled up between his legs, my hair fanned out across his hips as I went down on him, and feeling him wind his fingers into my hair as he moaned my name.... I don't think I had ever felt so much power in bed before. An amazing rush.)

Right after you stop screaming, "Oh my fucking God, your penis is bleeding!!!" at the top of your voice.
