Basically, an act of love between a consenting couple, where the male makes his female partner seriously moist, while she is still wearing knickers/thong (cotton gusset recommended). Then, remove pants/thong and either dry naturally or accellerate the process with a hair drier. While maintaining the romantic mood, scrape the dried minge goo from the pants/thong with a razor blade. Use razor blade to finulate. Roll up a bank note, and snort vaginal gold. Wait 5 minutes for an intense aphrodisiac hit. May be used as a supplement for viagra. Urban dictionary.

Unfortunately my neck and shoulder have decided they don't need to move an inch, I posted in the Steam Room thread. Pain is doesn't seem sufficient to describe the agony today. But I'm determined to beat the bastard somehow. There is life outside the bedroom happening and I don't want to miss it! Thanks for your kind words xx

"Urbanity, n. The kind of civility that urban observers ascribe to dwellers in all cities but New York. Its commonest expression is heard in the words, 'I beg your pardon.' and it is not inconsistent with disregard of the rights of others. The owner of a powder millWas musing on a distant hill -Something his mind foreboded -When from the cloudless sky there fellA devilled human kidney! Well,The man's mill had exploded.His hat he lifted from his head;'I beg your pardon, sir,' he said;'I didn't know 'twas loaded.' Swatkin." c/- The Enlarged Devil's Dictionary (Ambrose Bierce).

A woman who is jealous of another female, and who makes up stories about them, or uses degrading remarks about them to try to make themselves look better and turn others against them. They wish they had your looks, talent and popularity but they don't.. so they badmouth you instead to level the playing field. When they do this they usually don't tell the truth about anything either. An Enviqueen often spreads rumours because she has become jealous or threatened and wants to hurt the person who she is spreading a rumor about.

Queef (noun) : "A queef is the sound a vagina makes when it sucks in a bunch of air for no reason, and then blows it back out. This sound is loud, disruptive, and often vibrates. Unlike farts, queefs are irrepressible. While I can hold in a fart until I want to throw up, I cannot suppress a queef. No vagina-baring woman can. In fact, like fairies, queefs almost always make an appearance when you least expect them to – after standing up too quickly, while inverted at any point during a yoga class, or (my favorite), during and after sex." I know how much you love the way my pussy queefers 😂 - Posted from rhpmobile

Also, disorders in the fluid functions could arise.You could suffer through nervous breakdowns, as well as disturbing thoughts, which could affect your concentration and memory. Moods are a problem as you can be highly inspired one minute, and the next become quite irritated and annoyed over some ill-timed remark or lack of consideration on the part of someone close to you. Others are inclined to take advantage of your generosity and friendliness and then, when there is a lack of reciprocation, you can feel despondent and disillusioned. You feel and sense much that you do not fully understand, and you can be deeply influenced through the thoughts of others without realizing just how you are being affected. Since you are not inclined to give due consideration to practical and business matters, you could miss out on reaching a level of financial success appropriate for your efforts and abilities. You could be expressive and creative in the arts, music, or drama. Your name of Shagee gives you a highly sensitive, idealistic, and intuitive nature.

Quoting 'Ysabel2015' 1) Zapata (Surname of famous Mexican Peasant Leader during the Mexican Revolution of 1910). the women's rights movement coming out of the Zapatistas was interesting - particularly when you contrast it against fundamentalist groups (or alternate politico-military movements) that are commonly thought of now, and in that both groups favour a traditional approach, but the Zapatistas do dump older, unfairer parts of their originating culture.

A condition that is very common in Australia. When an individual drinks a large amount of alcohol on a regular basis they get conditioned to the point that hangovers and side effects hardly ever occur and multiple beverages of various alcoholic mixes do not make them feel too drunk to function properly or nauseous.

dogmatism /ˈdɒɡmətɪz(ə)m/ noun the tendency to lay down principles as undeniably true, without consideration of evidence or the opinions of others. "a culture of dogmatism and fanaticism" synonyms: opinionatedness, peremptoriness, assertiveness, imperativeness, doctrinairism, authoritarianism, imperiousness, high-handedness, arrogance, dictatorialness; inflexibility, rigidity, entrenchment, intolerance, narrow-mindedness, small-mindedness, bigotry "he avoided dogmatism and presented his subject as one open to debate" Dogmatism is a way of thinking that is stubborn and narrow-minded, often because of prejudice and bigotry. This word has nothing to do with dogs. Rather, it has to do with being dogmatic: holding onto a view or set of views no matter what. The noun form is dogmatism, which is often a type of prejudice such as racism or sexism. Dogmatism includes a disregard for other people's opinions: there's no compromise possible. A question for native English speakers (or any intelligent people with an extensive vocabulary, ie. most of you 😉) - Is it true that a dogmatist always has to have the last word and it always has to be right? - Posted from rhpmobile

Wabi-Sabi: The Art Of Imperfection "According to Japanese legend, a young man named Sen no Rikyu sought to learn the elaborate set of customs known as the Way of Tea. He went to tea-master Takeeno Joo, who tested the younger man by asking him to tend the garden. Rikyu cleaned up debris and raked the ground until it was perfect, then scrutinized the immaculate garden. Before presenting his work to the master, he shook a cherry tree, causing a few flowers to spill randomly onto the ground. To this day, the Japanese revere Rikyu as one who understood to his very core a deep cultural thread known as wabi-sabi. Emerging in the 15th century as a reaction to the prevailing aesthetic of lavishness, ornamentation, and rich materials, wabi-sabi is the art of finding beauty in imperfection and profundity in earthiness, of revering authenticity above all. In Japan, the concept is now so deeply ingrained that it’s difficult to explain to Westerners; no direct translation exists. Broadly, wabi-sabi is everything that today’s sleek, mass-produced, technology-saturated culture isn’t. It’s flea markets, not shopping malls; aged wood, not swank floor coverings; one single morning glory, not a dozen red roses. Wabi-sabi understands the tender, raw beauty of a gray December landscape and the aching elegance of an abandoned building or shed. It celebrates cracks and crevices and rot and all the other marks that time and weather and use leave behind. To discover wabi-sabi is to see the singular beauty in something that may first look decrepit and ugly. Wabi-sabi reminds us that we are all transient beings on this planet—that our bodies, as well as the material world around us, are in the process of returning to dust. Nature’s cycles of growth, decay, and erosion are embodied in frayed edges, rust, liver spots. Through wabi-sabi, we learn to embrace both the glory and the melancholy found in these marks of passing time. Bringing wabi-sabi into your life doesn’t require money, training, or special skills. It takes a mind quiet enough to appreciate muted beauty, courage not to fear bareness, willingness to accept things as they are—without ornamentation. It depends on the ability to slow down, to shift the balance from doing to being, to appreciating rather than perfecting. You might ignite your appreciation of wabi-sabi with a single item from the back of a closet: a chipped vase, a faded piece of cloth. Look deeply for the minute details that give it character; explore it with your hands. You don’t have to understand why you’re drawn to it, but you do have to accept it as it is. Rough textures, minimally processed goods, natural materials, and subtle hues are all wabi-sabi. Consider the musty-oily scene that lingers around an ancient wooden bowl, the mystery behind a tarnished goblet. This patina draws us with a power that the shine of the new doesn’t possess. Our universal longing for wisdom, for genuineness, for shared history manifests in these things. There’s no right or wrong to creating a wabi-sabi home. It can be as simple as using an old bowl as a receptacle for the day’s mail, letting the paint on an old chair chip, or encouraging the garden to go to seed. Whatever it is, it can’t be bought. Wabi-sabi is a state of mind, a way of being. It’s the subtle art of being at peace with yourself and your surroundings." Learn to love our flaws and imperfections. We are all a perfect and unique masterpiece 😉 - Posted from rhpmobile
