Padgemi, are the "skeeters" less of a problem in the mountainous areas? .Some people take garlic pills to repel mosquitoes. The peasants and tradespeople in Transylvania also used to use garlic to ward off vampires. Stands to reason it might work for other blood suckers. I can answer the question about fewer skeeters in the mountains. It's yes for a number of reasons. The hills make for better water run off so there are fewer places for standing water to breed the little vipers. Also they prefer warmer temps so the mts. being generally cooler one would expect fewer of them. Cooler temps, shorter summers also means a shorter time frame for them to be active. And it is a known fact skeeters like the smell, taste and texture of female flesh. So do some human males. |

DeadZone - you are out! Out! Dear Sir, I am so very jealous. You will find your swing - you will. I oh so love to get word when one of us escapes - it gives me hope.

DeadZone - you are out! Out! Dear Sir, I am so very jealous. You will find your swing - you will. I oh so love to get word when one of us escapes - it gives me hope. Thank you for your support.  I'd like to say I had the guts to get out on my own, but I was pushed off the ledge. Still, escaping is escaping...as long as the check clears, as they say. I'm a bit bipolar about it at the moment. One day I feel like I'm 25 again, the next I can't drown out the silence no matter how many devices I have running in the background. But it's not really the silence that's ghosting me. You can get there, Gia, to where you want to be. You will. |

You can get there, Gia, to where you want to be. You will. I would say you are right- escaping is escaping, no matter who initiates it. Don’t underestimate the strength it took to do what you did. She may have instigated but you followed through. Drowning out the silence… I remember that well. I remember cherishing that silence in my little post separation oasis until it became too much and it forced me to go find people to talk to. If it’s not the silence, what is ghosting you? Actually, I’m very curious about that phrase- are you willing to explain in more detail? dallasgia- it is very good to hear from you. I agree, you will also get there one day. |

Actually, I’m very curious about that phrase- are you willing to explain in more detail? dallasgia - it is very good to hear from you. I agree, you will also get there one day. Initially, I thought it was the silence. But the last year plus in my SM, there was already plenty of silence. There was nothing more than small, to-the-point exchanges, and that was surely worse than silence. Maybe what lurks is the finality of what has transpired, having cornered myself at the edge of the country, just like I wanted. I love sitting in silence and reading a book, and it drives me crazy at the same time. Even a good day promises bad ones, like a kid calling for his parents at the sight of a monster in the closet. The kid screams, help approaches from down the hall, and the monster snarls, telling the kid that help may come, but it will surely go, and when it does... Anyway, it's weathering the storm, and I know you know all about what I want to know all about. I want specifics, deadlines for when this feeling or that feeling passes, but I know there is nothing definitive. I have done some research...there are some interesting groups around here. Freethinkers...a skeptics group. Now THAT sounds right up my alley. A small group of people sitting in a room in silence, arms folded, judging each other with cocked eyebrows. "Good session, people! See you next Thursday!" There's also an "extreme" yoga group, whatever the fuck that means. All I know is yoga pants are still way hot. |

I know the first year was a challenge for me. What I thought I wanted wasn’t really what I needed. The pandemic forced me into a place I really didn’t want to be. Looking back, it all worked out. I healed. I’m still healing. The silence was necessary at times. At other times, it drove me crazy (which really surprised me because I normally do love the quiet). I’ve been out 2 years and I’m just now enjoying the meetups and social events. So, my advice is not to push yourself too hard to do something you may not be quite ready for. Rely on those who care for you. Ask for help when you need it. Maybe you should try regular yoga before jumping right into extreme 😬. |

Look at you!!! What a great thread and the music videos too!
So very proud of you and it really depends how private you are as to whether you really want to reveal your SM right away or even ever.

Regarding weird yoga:
1. There Will Be Spiritual Stuff
2. There Will Be Weird Sh**
3. There Will Be Unmanly Poses
4. There Will Be Gay Dudes and instructors
5. There Will Be Hot Girls In Stunning Poses
6. There Will Be Pain
#4, gay dudes correcting my incorrect poses would be difficult for me. The rest are not problems.

deadzone75, any updates on your opinions about being a sexual snob?
Rather than "snob" what have you experienced or thought about recently?
