Night Time

zizibet

Lynda, a friend of ours ran an sf con at some hotel that was doing a swingers' thing the same weekend. It got quite weird.
Loopy, come to PHx and do the Komen thing with me next year. It's my goal to get fit enough to do it.
J, that's the best time to pick upmen.

Ugh, I wish my fingers didn't fluctuate.  Mine swell so badly, and then I look like I have sausage fingers, or worse, my rings hurt and I have to take them off.

You're lucky that you don't fluctuate! Most of my rings have spacers in them, the one that didn't I had cut off a few months back when my Lupus/Arthiritis flared. It was too tight and the ER would have cut it off when I went, so I had my jeweler do it before we went to the doctor. Sucks, it was an heirloom, now I have to have it repaired.

Mine do that too!  I also have a very visible tan line now.  I couldn't fool someone if I tried.

Is anyone still here?

I just got home - we finally went to go see Ted, it was better than I thought it was going to be. I was so tired that I ended up falling asleep for about 15-20 minutes of the movie, close to the end and woke up in time for the ending. Lol oh well.

It felt like it. She ended up with a live in second husband and even though I liked her I didn't like her real husband much. I knew too much about their sex life, either they were stuck on overshare or they wanted to play. Either way, it was weird. They were more into the BDSM hardcore lifestyle I guess than swinging, although they did swing when they didn't have a third living with them.

I'm really open minded, but I just knew too much about things I didn't need to know about.

There is a Walgreens on our block (which is in the French Quarter).  I hear they have to order extra baby oil this weekend.  

Yeah.   Awesome.  I know one hotel that does not let to block there any more.  Well the actual convention or be an official convention hotel.  I can't see how they can turn away people for being swingers booking on their own.

Exactly... I'm not shy at this point and my other friends and I discuss sex on occassion with no issues. And, she'd always bring things up in front of her husband when mine was out of town on business. It was just weird and DH got weird over it and we fought over it for a few months, and then I started seeing it, and I ended the friendship.

They live three houses over from our house, which makes things kind of weird.

Meh, I don't have any issues with swinging.  I wouldn't do it, I don't think, but I don't care if other people do.

Now, the stuff with Stefffi's friend seems borderline shady AT BEST, so that's a little different.

I don't have an issue with swinging, it's not for us, either. Or with polygamy. Or with BDSM. Or with whatever you do in your bedroom.

I just don't want to know what the hay you do in your bedroom and we'll get along just fine.

So I probably shouldn't tell you that last night, me and my three husbands did a little switcheroo with the neighbors, and there were whips and nipple clamps?  And maybe a goat?

Got it.

Anythime Loopy. One of my closest friend'smother died of it a year ago, so it's been my goal to walk for her and for my FSIL who is a survivor.
Lynda, blah. I don't think it's just NOLA though. Many years ago at a hotel in DC there was an sf con at the same time as a BDSM thing. One of the BDSM people tied a woman to one of the sprinkler heads and then left the room. It broke, and flooded most of the hotel before they got i tunder control. The hotel banned both the BDSM people and the sf people, who had nothing to do with it. In fact, the con ended up changing its name to be able to get contracts.

Why are you switching with the neighbors if you have three husbands of your own?!?

At least you leave Box Kitty out of it!

LOL Zizi.

There are two sets of screw holes over the bed in the master bedroom of the rental house. Everytime I see the landlord's daughter who lived here prior I wonder about those holes. Then I think I really don't want to know! But, we still talk about them sometimes at night.

There's a FB for kink, I can't remember what it's called now, though. Learned about that from my friend as well.

<div>I wasn't talking about the swinger personality thing. I was just talking in general. It's possible that those people thought they could get away with more because they were in NOLA. Like, maybe if the conference was in a different city it wouldn't be SO crazy. Although I will agree that there are other cities that people would let loose with more.</div>
