i believe there is indeed something called the "wheelbarrow"...

I tried this, but I could only hold both of her ankles in the air for so long.

We're going to need an answer and a three-color chart by the noon meeting, so can we come to a consensus on this one, please?

I need help with the Pumpernickel. Maybe it's easier on a waterbed.

Are you sure you are not confusing this with the jackhammer?
I've always been under the impression that face down it's the wheelbarrow, face up the jackhammer.
You'd have to be hung like a whale to do the wheelbarrow while holding the ankles lol. At least if you wanted to preserve the wheelbarrow geometry.

We always considered the jackhammer closer to vertical and with an ankle grip.

Both seem to work better face down though.

I went in 2010. Didn't find it hard at all to "control myself". But then, I wasn't looking for anything outside my relationship. I was there for art, music and the experience. Sex, etc, really didn't cross my mind. Certainly, I admired beautiful men & women I saw. But *shrug* never felt the need to act on anything. That wouldn't be ok within my relationship, so I just didn't.

I was offered sex a couple times by people. I politely declined. And we went on hanging out normally. Ain't no thang.

My man I left at home last time is now my husband, and I'll be bringing him to his first Burning Man this August. And I plan to leave with our relationship in tact. First step in that plan is making sure we both stay hydrated to minimize bickering. Working on the rest of that. I read a helpful article on this site at some point. Will have to dig that up again...

Although he's been wearing a 31/32" waist for comfort sitting all those hours behind the wheel.

on the upside, being 6'5 and 150 lbs. almost always guarantees supplemental income as an extra in movies about WWII and the Liberation of Europe.

i hate the soup they serve on set though.

Non-thread drift:
Went with my BF (both burgins) we had one big stupid fight bc he was tired/worn out on Thursday. We worked it out just fine and are still holding strong. Planning on moving out of state sometime next year and probably getting married sometime afterwards. BM didn't make us stronger but it also didn't change our relationship. I enjoyed it and was moved by it personally more than he but it didn't change how I felt about him. I love him for the person he is (good and bad together)

Back to thread drift:
