What made the best experience so good, nola?
I'm still thinking about my answer to my question!! Lol ... Just thought it would be interesting to hear some stories, as I'm sure there'll be people on the site with very colourful tales from their years in the scene! :-)
What has been your all-time best swinging experience and your all-time worst (so far), and in each case, why?
Obviously, you need to be careful not to identify anyone when telling your stories, as that would be in breach of the AUP...
Take the leave. You may feel fine, but that diesn't mean your body doesn't need the rest. Stress is the cause of a lot of physical problems and people are rarely aware of the impact it can have.
A couple of years ago I got a slipped disc which resulted in my sciatic nerve (on the right side) being totally squashed. It was the most painful thing I have ever experienced and I had to wait 3 months for the surgery. I was in constant pain, and was on very strong painkillers, but still couldn't walk more than 10 steps and found it difficult to sleep, sit, stand, etc. By the time I had the surgery, I'd become so used to the acute pain that when I came around from the anaesthetic and the pain was just gone, I felt ecstatic. I was in and out of hospital within 24 hours and felt so much better that I didn't understand why they were telling me I needed time off work. So, I went back after the absolute minimum 3 weeks that they made me take. And then tried to get back into exercising very quickly. So, a couple of months later I got sciatica again and totally freaked out that I was going to have to go through it all again. Thankfully it was only a minor slip, which healed on its own within 6 weeks. But I learned my lesson... Just because you feel fine does not mean that your body is strong enough to do everything you want it to do.
So... Moral of my story... Take your time, look after yourself, and for once in your life put your health over your work. Give yourself a breather and some space to recover properly.

I suppose it would be rude not to share the compliment that led me to start the thread... I was told that my boobs are "superb", but not my best feature and was then complimented on the "nape of my neck just under my earlobe", the base of my spine and the creases behind my knees... All said in an incredibly sweet way, and probably the most unusual compliment I've ever received! :-)
What is the most interesting / unusual compliment that you've received about one or more of your physical features from someone other than your partner (and I'm thinking genuine compliments here, rather than the crap people say to get into your pants!!)
Hey Try,
Inanna and I definitely can't make it to this one now - sorry. Not sure whether you're doing confirmations yet, but wanted to let you know ASAP.
