Update to My Guardian Angel

My darling Guardian Angel,

It's the 11th of January and you’ve been gone two years today.  Each day does get a bit easier even though in some ways it seems as if you’ve been gone forever and in some it feels as if I just lost y’all yesterday.  It’s been a rough year…almost losing mom, dealing with her recovery, my health issues, surgery, time out of work, issues with kids and dealing with all of this without your strength.

It’s getting a bit easier to think and talk about the good times with you and your family.  I can now smile more rather than cry when I remember all the joy, love and laughter we shared.

You led me to a wonderful group of people, many of whom have now become very dear friends.  This has been a rough week but I have received the most outstandingly supportive messages from many of them.  

Yes, I still feel alone in many ways…still ache for your arms to hold me tight and keep me safe and dang, I do miss your wicked sense of humor.     But, thanks to those friends, I don’t feel nearly alone as I did a year ago.

Several of those friends have suggested I try meeting someone new but wouldn’t even know where to start looking and pfft…where would I find someone even close to you!   
I still struggle with what the good Lord’s plans are for me…guess I’ll find out in due time.

I feel you so near me at times that I know you are still watching over me. Yes darlin’ there are times I can hear you…“Do you think this is in your best interest?”  “Do you really want to go there?”  Sheesh…what do you expect? I’m trying!  Okay…sorta.

Some of the people that I connected with last year are no longer in blog land but there are many that are still here and new bloggers you would love.  Oh yes…there are some HoH’s here that you would get along with just like your brothers! 

I will continue enjoying life and share the joy you gave me with others.

Love Always,
Cat


Since music has always been a part of my life, Matthew and I were constantly sending each other songs to convey different messages. The last song Matthew shared with me was “I Won’t Give Up” by Jason Mraz which was something he constantly said to me.  I can’t hear this song without thinking of Matthew.  Hope you enjoy it.

When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well there's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use the tools and gifts
We got yeah we got a lot at stake
And in the end,
You're still my friend at least we didn't tend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn, how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I got, and what I'm not
And who I am

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
I'm still looking up

I won't give up on us
God knows I'm tough, he knows
We got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up...

 

Thank you my blog land friends and family for all the love and support!

Y’all are awesome!

 

8 Sex Toys Every Woman Should Own

A casual acquaintance who thinks she is soooo naughty...recently sent this article to a group of us to "further our education"  ROFLMBO!  Actually, I think she was trying to either 'shock' us or show us just how 'bad' she is.  *giggle*   Wonder if I ought to give her the link to some of our blogs. Guess I could just loan her a few books written my some of my favorite authors here in blog land.  *snicker*

 

 

Sex can be exciting with your new guy for a while, but then it starts to get boring. Same position, same location, same time. What can you do to spice things up? Add some sex toys to the mix. Sure, the thought of sex toys can make even the naughtiest girl blush, but they can help you achieve pleasure like you've never felt before.

If you're looking to improve your sex life and give it that boost it needs, try out these 8 sex toys that every woman should own.

 

 

 

The Vibrator

The most common sex toy, the vibrator, is one that every women wants in her pleasure chest. Sure, it's basic, but it's a good toy to start out with, especially if you're experimenting with sex toys for the first time. There are many types of vibrators, and they come in many sizes. When choosing a product, look for one that is fairly quiet and effective in stimulating the clitoris area.

 

You should also look at features such as the ability to adjust the intensity and speed. Many women hop all over The Rabbit vibrator because it creates sensation in the vagina as well as the clitoris. You can even buy a waterproof Rabbit, so it can be used anywhere you feel the urge.

 

The Couple's Vibrator

A couples' vibrator is a good choice if you have trouble experiencing orgasm during intercourse. A couple's vibrator is smaller than a regular vibrator and allows you just enough extra penetration to get the job done, so to speak. Its smaller size doesn't interfere with your partner's rhythm, and its vibrations may even enhance your partner's experience, guaranteeing a good time for both of you.

 

The G-Spot Wand

A G-spot wand is essential if you are looking for something like a vibrator but without the vibrating. A G-spot wand is made of heavy-duty stainless steel (used for hip replacements) and is curved for your added pleasure. It's perfect if you enjoy ample penetration. The NJOY Pure wand comes highly recommended on many websites. According to many users, the name says it all.

 

The Silver Bullet

If you are more into clitoral stimulation, a silver bullet may be just what you need. A silver bullet is an egg-shaped metal device that is basic and cheap but definitely hits the spot. You use it directly on your clitoris and can adjust the pressure by using the attached remote. Definitely a hands-down favorite for many women!

 

The Cock Ring

How about a toy for your man? Aptly called the Big O Vibrating Ring, this device can help both of you experience greater sexual pleasure. Placed on the base of the man's penis before it becomes erect, a cock ring allows blood to flow into the penis but not outward.

This vibrating ring helps the penis sustain a harder erection and stimulates the clitoris during intercourse. Most are made of rubber or steel. Keep in mind that a cock ring must be sized carefully, or they can result in a too-erect penis, which can be painful and embarrassing, requiring a trip to the doctor. However, for those who use this toy properly, it is a fun way to enhance any sexual relationship.

 

 

Anal Beads

For those looking to experiment with anal sex, start with anal beads. Made of silicone, the beads come in various sizes, so beginners as well as pros can experiment with them. Just add some lubrication, and they can be used for both men and women.

 

 

Lubricants

A little lubrication can definitely go a long way. Whether you're feeling dry as the desert down there or looking to experiment with anal sex, a lubricant is effective in increasing pleasure. Lubricant is a jelly used to replace or supplement a woman's vaginal lubrication.

In the past, oil-based lubricants were in demand. However, they created bacteria inside a woman's vagina. They also destroyed latex, making them impossible to use with condoms. Therefore, it is recommended to use water-based lubricants only. When used inside a condom, lubricants can make sensations even stronger for the man.

 

Interesting note: although most people use regular KY Jelly for sexual intercourse, KY Jelly is actually made for the medical environment and is not long-lasting. Therefore, you should choose another brand, one made specifically for sex, such as Astroglide or Aqualube.

The Blindfold

How about using something in the bedroom that's as simple and easily available as a blindfold? Probably not the kinkiest type of sex toy available, but a blindfold creates an element of surprise, which can be incredibly sexy. Imagine the excitement you will feel by not being able to see what your partner will do next. Blindfolds, especially silk ones, can make bedtime much more exciting and allow your imagination to run wild.

 

One of the hurdles you may face when using sex toys is that your partner may disapprove of them. He may feel embarrassed or upset that he cannot satisfy you fully. He may view sex toys as a replacement for him. Therefore, it's important to let him know the benefits of you using sex toys. By using them, you are finding out what turns you on, where you like being touched and the intensity at which you enjoy it.

Sex toys can help you become more familiar with your body. If you can't pleasure yourself, then how can you expect your man to? You need to convince your guy that using sex toys will make your sex life better in the long run. They can spark your imagination and make sex much more fun and exciting every time.

 

Let's face it; achieving an orgasm makes a woman feel sexier, happier and more feminine. And what could be wrong with that? When you learn how to pleasure yourself, you're helping your partner in the process.

Don't think William 'made' Catherine look like a total idiot...think she did that all my herself.  What do you think? 

 

 



Shocking? True Historical Facts

The first contraceptives were used in Ancient Egypt, and were lubricated vaginal suppositories made of acidic substances  Don't think I would want to use those suppositories! 

 

Guess even the Ancient Egyptians needed to get their horizontal tango on guilt-free sometimes!  Just to give you a clue, the earliest record we have referring to this method dates back to about 1850 B.C.E. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The best selling book of the 15th century was an erotic book called "The Tale of the Two Lovers", written by none other than Pope Pius II 

 

Granted, the man was not inducted until 23 years after his romance was published, but still!  Just imagine if Pope Francis came out and told all of us that he was actually the one who wrote "Fifty Shades of Grey".  Now get that image out of your head...double dawg dare ya!  LOL

Funny French Laws

And you thought that only the US had odd laws!
 
1. You Can Legally Marry a Dead Person
I can imagine your reactions already:
Wait, what?!
Um, gross...
That's... I... but... why?
Score! Time to move to France.

Okay, not so much the last one.  But it's true!  It is legal to marry a dead person in France.  But they have some stipulations, of course!  The couple has to have been engaged prior to the person's death, with obvious intent to go through with the wedding.
 At least the corpse isn't getting married against his/her will, right?

2. No Jerry Lewis Masks For You
If you're planning a big Jerry Lewis-themed masquerade ball in Cannes, France, you might want to find a new theme! 

Don't you know that wearing Jerry Lewis masks is illegal there?  I know how common these parties are, but unless you want to pay a large fine, either cancel the shindig or find another location.  Don't say we didn't warn you!

3. Hey There, Dollface
In France, it is illegal to sell dolls without human faces.  That means your E.T. doll is illegal, my friend!  Come on, though.  Let's be serious.  Do any dolls actually look human?


4. Onions Get the Right of Way
If you're walking along the street in Paris and you come upon a man carrying onions, get out of the way! 

Onion-carrying garçons always get the right of way! 

So I guess if you really want to get somewhere in a hurry, grab a pile of onions to speed up your trip!

5. Illegal For Women To Wear Trousers
In these modern times, you might think that most progressive societies have accepted that women like to wear pants.  But in Paris, it is still illegal for women to wear trousers!

They have a few exceptions, like:

• When a woman is riding a horse
• When a woman is riding a bike

You have to wonder, though, if anyone actually abides by this law.  I'm going to guess the answer is no.

6. Illegal To Kiss on Railways
You know those adorable photos of people kissing on railroad tracks? 

Well, you shouldn't try to have that photo shoot in France! 

It is illegal to kiss on railways there. 

This actually seems like a pretty practical law. 

Would you want to be run over by a train because you were too busy sucking face to pay attention? 

I think not!


7. Illegal To Take Photos of Police Officers
In Antibes, it is 100% illegal to take pictures of police officers or their vehicles. 

If you're the type of person who hates to be photographed, this could be a strategic career move!  It would be pretty cool to arrest people for going against your wishes, eh?


8. Pigs Named Napoleon
If you decide to live in France and buy a pet pig, make sure to abide by this important law:
Whatever you do, don't name it Napoleon! 

If you do, you'll be breaking the law. 

Why not stick with a more traditional name, like Gordy or Babe?


9. French Music on the Radio
If you're listening to the radio in France between the hours of 8am-8pm, don't expect to hear very much American music. 

Why? 

Because according to law, 70% of music played on the radio during those hours has to be performed by French artists.


10. Breathalyzer Tests
If you thought American DUI laws were harsh, just wait until you hear about this French law! 

In France, every car must have a breathalyzer kit in the glove compartment at all times. 

If a driver is found to not have one, he or she will get a fine of 11 euros!

I’m Fine!

A Wisconsin farmer named Olie had a car accident.  He was hit by a truck owned by the Eversweet Company.
 
In court, the Eversweet Company's hot-shot attorney questioned him thus:

'Didn't you say to the state trooper at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine?"

Olie responded:  'vell, I'lla tell you vat happened dere.  I'd yust loaded my fav'rit cow, Bessie, into da... '


'I didn't ask for any details', the lawyer interrupted.  'Just answer the question.  Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine!'?'
 
Olie said, 'vell, I'd yust got Bessie into da trailer and I vas drivin' down da road.... '
 
The lawyer interrupted again and said, 'Your Honor, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the police on the scene that he was fine.  Now several weeks after the accident, he is trying to sue my client.  I believe he is a fraud.  Please tell him to simply answer the question. '
 
By this time, the Judge was fairly interested in Olie’s answer and said to the attorney:  'I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favorite cow, Bessie'.
 
Olie said:  'Tank you' and proceeded.  'vell as I vas saying, I had yust loaded Bessie, my fav'rit cow, into de trailer and was drivin' her down de road vin dis huge Eversweet truck and trailer came tundering tru a stop sign and hit me trailer right in da side by golly.  I was trown into one ditch and Bessie was trown into da udder ditch.
 
By yimminy yahosaphat I vas hurt, purty durn bad, and didn't want to move.  An even vurse dan dat, I could hear old Bessie a moanin' and a groanin'.  I knew she vas in terrible pain yust by her groans.
 
Shortly after da accident, a policeman on a motorbike turned up.  He could hear Bessie a moanin' and a groanin' too, so he vent over to her.  After he looked at her, and saw her condition, he took out his gun and shot her right between the eyes.
 
Den da policeman came across de road, gun still in hand, looked at me, and said, 'How are you feelin'?'

 
'Now wot da fock vud you say?'
 
 
ROFLMBO!

Thought you might also enjoy the comments that were on the website where this was posted.

Would you call this a “Vessel of Hope”?   If not, what would you call it? 

Sure doesn't look like "hope" to me!  I do believe that the majority of the commenters got it right!
