Good Gravy!  If that is what “plus-size” looks like, I am afraid to ask Cosmo what “size” they consider me…maybe hippo-size or double-hippo-size?     

Seriously…I have enough trouble with my body image and so do many of my friends without being made to feel even worse with labels like this! 

This Woman is a Keeper!!!

This is hilarious.

It happened at a New York Airport.  



An award should go to the United Airlines gate agent in New York for being smart and funny, while making her point, when confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo. (as long as there were no animals in there…otherwise that would be cruelty to animals!)


For all of you out there who have had to deal with an irate customer, this one is for you.

A crowded United Airlines flight was canceled.  A single agent was re-booking a long line of inconvenienced travelers.
 
Suddenly, an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk.  He slapped his ticket on the counter and said, "I HAVE to be on this flight and it has to be FIRST CLASS."

The agent replied, "I'm sorry, sir. I'll be happy to try to help you, but I've got to help these folks first; and then I'm sure we'll be able to work something out." 

The passenger was unimpressed.  He asked loudly, so that the passengers behind him could hear, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?"

Without hesitating, the agent smiled and grabbed her public address microphone. "May I have your attention, please?", she began, her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal.  "We have a passenger here at Gate 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS.  If anyone can help him with his identity, please come to Gate 14".

With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the United Airlines agent, gritted his teeth, and said, "F*** You!"


Without flinching, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry sir, you'll have to get in line for that, too."

Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain...

This story has been making the rounds of e-mail and Facebook…don’t know if it’s actually true but I do love it!   Maybe because I've pulled similar stunts!     
 

And now…an Answer!

I answered all other questions on the post where they were asked however, Missy left the following question:

I've read your life story and it really moved me, I do have a question for you, but feel free to ignore it if it is too personal. With what you've been through and experienced, how do you really feel towards discipline in an adult relationship?

My answer was:

Hmmm...I could write an entire post to answer that question (and I will) but short answer for now...I could not be in another relationship without DD.

 
Now here is my long answer:
If you're like Missy and have read my story, I don’t have to go into it, if not, you can just click on the My Life link on the upper right.
 
Bottom line, I had a DD relationship that was very good and then went bad, then a non-DD relationship and then an awesome DD relationship with Matthew.
 
Basically, I’ve had the best and the worst of DD/TTWD and for me, as bad as it can get, it makes a relationship so much better. 
 
If I was ever to be in another relationship and felt that it was starting to get serious, he and I would have to sit down and have a major discussion.  I would state very plainly that I expected him to be the leader of our relationship and would explain DD/TTWD to him if he didn’t know about it.
 
If he didn’t think that was something he could be happy with, I’m afraid I would have to call a halt to any more than friendship right then and there.   After having a relationship (between ex and Matthew) that was non-DD, I know myself well enough to know there is no way I could be happy without DD/TTWD as part of a relationship. 
 
Does that mean it will be exactly as it was with Matthew?  Absolutely not since he would obviously not be Matthew!  Just as my relationship with Matthew was not like the one (when it was good) with my ex.  Would it be strictly DD or maybe TTWD or maybe M/s or maybe Dom/Sub or maybe a combination of all of them.  Who knows!  
 
March is not over so if anyone has questions, feel free to ask.  Oh and BTW, if ya have questions after the month ends, ya don’t have to wait for next March to ask!     

Reeses Peanut Butter Cups

When Missy posted about her chocolate spanking saga I told her I had a recipe for homemade Reeses Peanut Butter Cups if she wanted it.   And…she did!  Thought some others in blogland might enjoy it also…so here it is!  BTW…the comments in parentheses () in the same color/font as the recipe are from the author of the recipe.  Mine are in purple at the bottom.  LOL

 

Ingredients

• 3/4 lb. Good quality dark or milk chocolate
• 1 Cup of Smooth or Chunky Peanut Butter (I used smooth)
• 1 Cup of Powdered Sugar
• 1/3 Cup of Graham Crumbs
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Peanut butter cup mold (also available at craft stores)
• OR muffin/cupcake papers

 

Instructions

Chocolate

1. Melt chocolate at 50% power in the microwave stirring every 30 seconds. The chocolate does not have to be completely melted, as it sits little pieces will melt in. Be extra careful not to overheat the chocolate or it will seize.
2. Place about a teaspoon of chocolate in each well or muffin cup and with the back of a spoon, "pull" the chocolate up the sides ensuring the bottom and sides are completely covered.

3. Place in the freezer for about 30 seconds to stiffen up the chocolate and you can "re-pull" more or fill in any gaps. (I held my mold up to light and it was easy to see spots where the chocolate was thin)
4. Place back into the fridge until cold

Filling

5. Mix together peanut butter, powdered sugar, salt and graham crumbs in a bowl
6. Microwave about 90 seconds to soften the mixture and allow it to be poured.
7. Place 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture into the wells and gently tap or shake to smooth it.

8. Place in the freezer for about 5 minutes

Top

9. Spoon enough chocolate on top of the peanut butter to cover it and shake or tap the mold/cup to smooth the top
10. Refrigerate until cold
11. Enjoy!

MY NOTES:
Regarding ingredients:

• I used Dark Chocolate
• I used Natural Organic Smooth Peanut Butter
• I’m assuming she meant Graham Cracker crumbs which is what I used…very finely ground BUT I have also made the recipe without them...only difference is that without makes a bit softer texture in the peanut butter center.
• I used my mini muffin pans…
• once with mini muffin papers
• once without so didn’t have the little ridges...I did wipe each cup with a bit of coconut oil to keep them from sticking.
• You could use regular muffin pans and papers.

Regarding chocolate:

• I prefer to melt my chocolate in a double boiler on the stove…I find I have more control over the chocolate.
• A double boiler is a pot that sits in another pot with water gently boiling in the bottom pot…the water cannot touch the bottom of the upper pot or it can ruin your chocolate.
• If you don’t have a double boiler, you can set a glass or stainless steel bowl over a pot of gently boiling water.

Regarding filling:

• Again, I prefer to melt on the stove rather than the microwave as I have better control over the melting process…
• if you melt your peanut butter too much it is way too runny
• if you get it too hot, it will melt the chocolate when you pour it in.

Regarding top:

• You will probably need to warm the chocolate back up a bit in order to spoon it over the filling.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Hope you enjoy!

Here’s just a bit of ‘food porn’ for ya…no instructions necessary…just follow the pictures and enjoy!

The Conversation

I received the story below in an email and it really touched my heart.  Don't know if it's actually a true story but it does teach an awesome lesson and contains some excellent advice.



 

I saw this elderly gentleman dining by himself, with an old picture of a lady in front of him.  I thought maybe I could brighten his day by talking to him.

 

As I had assumed, she was his wife.  But I didn't expect such an interesting story.

They met when they were both 17.  They dated briefly, then lost contact when he went to war and her family moved.  But he said he thought about her the entire war.

After his return, he decided to look for her.  He searched for her for 10 years and never dated anyone. People told him he was crazy, to which he replied "I am. Crazy in love".

On a trip to California, he went to a barber shop.  He told the barber how he had been searching for a girl for ten years. The barber went to his phone and called his daughter in.

It was her!

 

She had also been searching for him and never dated either.

 

He proposed immediately and they were married for 55 years before her death 5 years ago.

 

He still celebrates her birthday and their anniversary. 

He takes her picture with him everywhere and kisses her goodnight.

 

Some inspiring things he said:
 

"I was a very rich man. Not with money, but with love"

"I never had a single argument with my wife, but we had lots of debates"

 

"People are like candles. At any moment a breeze can blow it out, so enjoy the light while you have it."

"Tell your wife that you love her everyday. And be sure to ask her, have I told you that I love you lately?"

 

Be sure to talk to the elderly.

Especially strangers.

You may think that you will brighten their day, but you may be surprised that they can actually brighten yours.

 

Let's Dance!

You can...shuffle your feet...wiggle your butt...twirl...swirl...dip!

Just get up and dance!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes Irishey...dancing is considered exercise.  You can burn anywhere from 66 to 224 calories average depending on the type of dancing you do.  LOL

 

Giggle with a Moral

Here’s an oldie but a goodie I received…hope you enjoy!

 

 

Colon
All the organs of the body were having a meeting,
Trying to decide who was the one in charge.

 

"I should be in charge," said the brain, "Because I run all the body's systems, so without me nothing would happen."

 

"I should be in charge," said the blood, "Because I circulate oxygen all over so without me you'd all waste away."

 

"I should be in charge," said the stomach," Because I process food and give all of you energy."

 

"I should be in charge," said the legs, "because I carry the body wherever it needs to go."

 

 

 

"I should be in charge," said the eyes, "Because I allow the body to see where it goes."

 

 

"I should be in charge," said the rectum, "Because I'm responsible for waste removal."

 

All the other body parts laughed at the rectum
And insulted him,

So in a huff, he shut down tight.

Within a few days, the brain had a terrible headache,

The stomach was bloated,

The legs got wobbly,

The eyes got watery,

And the blood was toxic.

 

 

They all decided that the rectum should be the boss.

 

 

The Moral of the story?
Even though the others do all the work...
The ass hole is usually in charge!
