Anybody up for a thread that’s the digital equivalent of going to the bar/pub and talking, complaining, venting, and otherwise just blowing off steam about their day with their fellows?
Because let me tell you, I for one could use a drink! My shirt is covered in… eww… Everyone has been demanding and cranky all afternoon, I’ve been dying to have a good ass fucking all week, and it isn’t going to happen what with the Mr. Firefly being sick. 
Anybody else need a beer and somewhere to vent?
Hey babes. Sounds like you’re having a shit time. Hope your husband gets better an your ass gets a good seeing to. You deserve it. Sending hugs
I probably have what Mr Firefly has… non-stop coughing and headache. Hope to feel better for the weekend so we don’t miss an anal session.
We have family issues that make us want to drink. The same family members have horrible relationships and I’m convinced their mission is to make us as miserable as they are. It ain’t gunna work because we love each other and have a great sex life.
We had snow here today. And when running a business, snow means less customers. So we’ve had a slow day in an already declining commercial world.
Sometimes I wonder if things will get worse in time.
Sounds like the same crud. I’ve got a making cough and at the moment a headache, but I think the headache is unrelated.
It SUCKS when family tries to pull you into their drama. Good for you for drawing those boundaries and not letting them!
Ugh, all my sympathy! Running a business is no joke! It’s hard to know what to do when things look like they’re slowing up. Here’s hoping spring brings more foot traffic and better business!
Great idea for a thread. I’m having a difficult time myself right now, even though things are objectively going great. Sometimes I wish I could shake my brain, turn it on and off again whenever it’s caught up in the cobwebs of a former life.
Doing my best to work through emotions that are totally independent of the world around me. It’s fighting an enemy that’s literally not there.
Because it doesn’t need to be sad here. Let me tell all of you something.
In 2016 my then wife admited she had been fucking another man for 14 months and wanted to start a life with him, cause he was the man with whom she wanted to grow old…
Well, things like these happen. So I was angry, sad and then empty. And about 6 weeks in I was okay. That marriage wasn’t that great, tbh.
About 2 months after I found out, I met a new woman who seemed almost perfect. She was sweet, feminine, good body and into anal sex. What more can a man want ? But after I bought a house with her, and we made a united family with both our kids, she showed her toxic nature. After only 3 years with her, and even marriage, we divorced and I couldn’t have been happier. Cause having a narcissist telling you “I can’t handle you, so you are no good to me” is victory in life.
So after that I took a year for myself and got to know the fantastic woman I am with now.
Meanwhile my first ex broke up with that man she was supposed to grow old with. Which must have been a bitter pill to swallow.
But, a few days back my son had something to tell me. The guy my ex was with has a new girlfriend. And that girlfriend is my second ex wife 
That guy is priceless. Imagine the lack of selfrespect to do that 
And on the other hand. That woman will destroy him. Cause now way that he has my strenght to stand up to her toxic nature.
That story made my year. I feel a bit sorry for my first ex. But not too much.
Ooof! It is so, so hard to shake that kind of thing. It’s such hard work to put the past behind your sometimes. 
You are absolutely right!
So in the spirit of that - today wasn’t half bad. Only went mildly crazy trying to get things done, got my favorite noodles for dinner, and I’m about to have hot chocolate chip cookies and fancy hot chocolate.
I just found out 5 mins ago my girlfriend plugged her ass before we started watching TV. And now, for some reason, I need to assfuck her while it’s already 2:29 here
So tough being me sometimes 
So, also an overthinker then ?
(That minimum 32 caracter post thing is annoying)
Among other things, yes 
But hey, as for the minimum of characters per post: If one uses ten words where two would do (like me!), it’s, as they say, no biggie 
Be still my heart! I listen to a Christian marriage podcast occasionally, and they have just posted an episode encouraging BDSM! I’m certain a milder form, but still! Prior I had only seen negative things about it in Christian spaces. I’m personally considering this a huge step in the right direction!
As a devout atheist I acknowledge some of the positive aspects of Christianity when it comes to some parts of morality. Its the ‘fairy tales’ that I just don’t get!
If you’re referring to taking stories from the bible literally (when you say fairy tales), like the global flood or the garden of Eden, for example, you’ll find a wide range of positions toward those among believers, most of which aren’t literal interpretations.
Yes, there are those who do that, but like in Atheism, the range of positions and ideas is so diverse, it’s sometines hard to believe you’re dealing with people of the same faith.
I could make a thousand arguments for the “fairy tales” ranging from historical to scientific, but in the end it boils down to faith. Everybody has faith in something. Yours is in that there isn’t anything or anyone behind the universe, mine is that there is. It’s a question of infinite importance but what it comes down to is the simplest and hardest thing in the universe - to believe.
Kinda wild when you think about it.
True story on that one! The variances within denominations can be stark enough, but then you consider between denominations and then between Protestant - Roman Catholic- Orthodox, it’s insane! But mostly on secondary and tertiary issues… Most of which get blown wildly out of proportion and wrongly fixated on. Though some are kinda big.
It’s kinda tragically hilarious. It’s also why I go out of my way to fellowship with people with differing opinions. To remind myself they love Jesus as much as I do and it honestly doesn’t matter if they dunk believers, sprinkle babies, hold to free will or election or pray to dead saints. Those things aren’t going to make you more or less saved. I think most of us would acknowledge that, if asked, but we forget it very easily.
True, the differences between denominations are huge! Talking about that, do you know Emo Philips’ classic joke on religion? It’s been voted the best joke on religion, and it’s really, really good:
You can also find a video of him telling it with more jokes and back story tucked in, depending on your time. It’s wonderful.
But! I would add to you post there are also huge differences between believers of the same denomination. Think protestants in the US and protestants in Europe. Protestants from the big city with lots of money and protestants in a rural area with hardly any. Even theologians will believe different things; I personally know of some who don’t give a damn about the textual history of scripture, believing, instead, that God will reveal the true meaning to them, they just need to read the scripture in their native tongue. Which is, honestly, a little insane to me.
Oh yeah! I have seen that up close! All of that. It’s insane. As a big fan of context and authorial intent, those, “God will reveal the true meaning” crowd are… I have words for them, but the nicest one is: wrong. There’s doctrinal differences, then there is willful ignorance (which is typically driven by pride and in many cases, circles right back to narcissism and control on the part of whoever is leading the church). I will tolerate and entertain any position with solid scholarship behind it. But that mess… No. Not for a minute.
