Tricky, tricky, tricky... On the one hand you do only have one mother - on the other you are an adult and deserved to be treated with respect. I can only echo most of the advice already posted here and add my one liner "When your children are older, how would you want this type of situation handled?" - Always got to try and break the cycle, not let it repeat itself... Not much use I know but good luck xxx
Thanks to one and all for replying or for PM'ing - much appreciated.
Look forward to meeting you sometime xxx
Hello from us in the South too... :welcome:
This may seem like a long thread of "goodness knows what" but... as newbies, go with us please.
Background : We (hubby/wife) went to Erotica exhibition last November in London, out of curiousity - totally eye opening and had the most fantstic time. After that, we started to browse SH and follow the threads (some very funny, others deep and touching), which became quite adictive, very quickly. At this stage, we had not registered and watched from the sidelines (so to speak...)
We went to Manchester's Erotica in April this year and this time we went to the Ball afterwards which was great fun. We came to the conclusion thayt as individuals and as a married couple we were really comfortable with ourselves and the different variants of lifestyle that were out there. So after much deep conversation and agreeing our boundaries, we actually registered and joined in with the SH forum.
We didn't post a "hi - we're new" thread as we got caught up in the other posts going on. To be honest - which we always are - we're not looking for the full hard swing, just to explore our sexuality, together, at our own pace, have fun and hopefully make some likeminded friends along the way.
Since we have registered, we have felt like we have a whole new extra world we belong to - pleae don't misunderstand, there are no deep friendships yet and we don't want anyone to think we are "single white female bunny boiler types" but we have found ourselves drawn into other people's lives we don't even know. We find ourselves asking each other while doing the shopping "I wonder how so and so is getting on" based on a thread we had either read or replied to.
Guess we are just a little bit scared (could read excited...) at the overall impact joining the site has had.
Just wondered if any other newbies are experiencing the same stuff or if the more experienced on the site want to share the benefit of their experience and wisdom and tell us that this is all perfectly normal...
Anyway - feel much better that's all off our chest - thanks for reading - by the way : Hi from a newbie couple in deepest Essex chavland xxx
Oh yes.. not only do we live in a Chav Town - we are bordered on all sides by Chav Towns too :
Quote from site " What can I say? The fact that XXXXXXXXX is situated slap bang in the middle of XXX, XXX, XXX and XXX is enough really. It's like a gathering place for all the lowest forms of human beings that exist. The most common type round here is the 15 year old "gangsta" wannabe, decked out in hideous tracksuits, Von Dutch caps and ridiculous jewellery. They are also accompanied by chavvy slapper types...velour tracksuits, the revolting moveable-clown necklaces and the absurd wigga hairstyles are the norm in this dump. XXXXXXXXXXX is an extremely crap place to live. Me and my friends cannot wait until we are old enough to get the hell out of here."
Feel bad now as I quite like living here ...
Can anyone help and tell me what these are : 1) Moveable clown necklaces and 2)Absurd wigga hairstyles???
Linda - deep breath in, hold for count of 7 and deep breath out... My son's making his communion in a couple of weeks too. Think I've put more effort into organising this than I did organising my wedding - and as much expense!! Just have the one vodka then make mental note that all will go well and on Sunday you'll look back and think what a fab day it was - Have a lovely time Bev xxx
Good luck with it Rainbows - true best mates are hard to come by but once you get them, they are truly the best. My advice (for what it's worth - and you may think it's not worth much) is to try and not be too on the defensive. You have nothing to defend... Ask your best mate to tell you what their true concerns and accept that as a mate this behaviour may be just down to wanting to make sure "you're ok". Don't lose a great friend but don't give up the things you love either... Hope it goes ok xx
Hi & welcome - be prepared for addiction - enjoy xxx
I'm with Chardonnay on this one - not enough time to get out the door with matching socks on most days never mind all that business to fit as well - still if you can get it all in and still function relatively normally - enjoy!!
Gotta go with Jas-Tim. Sean Connery was super-fab as Bond and just gets better with age...
Not sure if it helps but here goes - I have to deal with Microsoft alerts for work - if you're MSN then check out for the latest virus (April 2005)
McAfee is a very good AV provider and it would be worth anyone's time to take advantage of a 90 free trial.
