    Quoting 'lilyorchid' We had it at the same venue last year. Great fun meeting up with some familiar faces local and interstate as well as new faces. There's one in Brisbane in May so keep your eyes peeled for that. Welcome back to cold Melbourne after your stay in the tropics. 😊 I do remember last year was quite a good time Only back temporarily, not planning on getting used to the schizophrenic Melbourne weather.

    My male half was a guest at cirque de soile last night. Sugar dating in reverse? Front row seats VIP package. Amazing show. Everyone should experience this circus at least once in their lives. Mind blowing. Missed getting dragged up on stage so fucking narrowly. Heart palpitations........

    Here's a song from one of my favourite musicals for you all 😉 The sun will come out Tomorrow Bet your bottom dollar That tomorrow There'll be sun! Just thinkin' about Tomorrow Clears away the cobwebs And the sorrow 'Til there's none! When I'm stuck with a day That's grey, And lonely, I just stick out my chin And Grin, And Say, Oh The sun come out Tomorrow So ya gotta hang on 'Til tomorrow Come what may Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya Tomorrow! You're always A day Away! Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya Tomorrow! You're always A day Away! - Posted from rhpmobile

Unfortunately I've struggled to find guys who are as into it as I am. I have one that is into it. Starts sexting but gets ahead of himself before making the date. Then doesn't make a date.So I said no sexting unless it's happening. So tonight is the night. He's been sexting and the date is still on. We shall see. He's on his last chance.

    Today's glorious summer weather is to.die for. Good day to be put. Now getting a late lunch in the city after a mind numbing 2-hr meeting. City is abuzz at lunchtime. So a trip to Chinatown for a laksa or Korean or a Japanese bento for this girl. Love Melbourne. Schizophrenic or not. 😛 great food selection and damn cheap. 😁

    Summer, totally agree that it's best done with an established lover, as is the case here. Also, because you're already familiar with their bodies, their style and how amazing they can make you feel it adds to the excitement:) MsJonesy... have never heard that expression - love it! I've had pre-meet touchdown quite a few times, especially when there's a long gap between starting to talk to someone and actually meeting them. Gets to a point where I've gotten what I want and can't be bothered anymore. Maybe it's also fear that the real sex won't be as good as the text sex?

    I went to Zumanity Cirque du Soleil in las Vegas a few years ago. It was incredible! It was a sexy/sensual one.I'd recommend THAT one to anyone. "From a playfully provocative cheerleader routine to the erotic underwater girl-on-girl contortionist act “Waterbowl,” Zumanity ™The Sensual Side of Cirque du Soleil ® goes where no other Las Vegas show has ever been before (there’s even an on-stage sexual celebration, though don’t worry: the sex acts are all simulated and the performers remain clothed below the waist. (Las Vegas does have a few laws left on the books!)"

    Yes i can see the possibilities. The tour before this one had a few acts that got ones motor running with the closeness and connection between the performers. But then just the extreme fitness of the semi naked bodies is a visual stimulation

    Instead of throwing out 'forum police' or 'white knight', let's go with Lilith "Honouring Your Wild Woman Lilith is the part of us that cannot & will not hold our tongue to ‘keep the peace’ if we disagree with someone or with the status quo. Despite the fact that this may result in uncomfortable consequences in the short-term, to go against our inner truth & not stand up for our principles is to evoke Lilith’s inner torment so we feel we have no choice but to ultimately speak. Our inner Lilith will stand up to external authority for a cause or ideal, even though that may result in being scapegoated by the establishment, the media or our immediate social circle. Lilith will risk rejection to follow her inner truth & obtain true selfhood. Lilith represents the wild, untamable aspects of the feminine psyche that have been culturally shamed as ‘unfeminine’ & are therefore supressed. For instance, a woman giving birth is similar to a primal animal in that she loses control over all bodily functions, grunting & screaming with abandon until the act of creation is complete. This is an image of womanhood that is largely hidden behind a medical veneer that appropriates the credit & respect to the physician rather than the birthing woman. And so she is viewed more as a victim in need of assistance than a powerful shaman journeying through the realms of death & rebirth."

    Got hit up by a couple. Nice photos. Nice messages. Everything going well. They lived 3 hrs drive away. All doable. Said they have young family so hotel room would be provided for me. So far so good. Started texting. He sent some photos of them. Bit dark and grainy but nice couple. Also pics of a very sexy arse. User name sexyarse####. Little caption saying "my bum". Alarm bells. I asked for a selfie of the 2 of them with a bit of paper with 'Annie' on it. Got message saying no prob. Wife was a bit shy but would ask. Gave a couple of hours then called him out. He tried back pedaling saying if l don't trust them then no deal move on blah blah. Prick was expecting me to do a 6 your return drive, him to turn up at room and say wife had to stay with sick kid but he was here so let's make do. I gave him a choice Either do the pic with wife or delete your fake profile and we will all go our separate ways. If not my P.I.mate will investigate your phone number, if it's pre paid, credit card number then name and address. Your wife will have details by end of the week. Obviously l wasn't going that option, I'm not a low life to let the wife know. Then searched his phone number, got his name and texted "that you xxxx?" Profile gone within the hour. One less catfish. He fucked with the wrong girl after a really fucked up week...... Fish anyone?

    "Just jokes", "seriously though", "JK" ... these phrases completely fail fo negate the inane drivel that precede them. To write womens' support of each other off as merely something biological is demeaning and insulting. The McClintock Effect may influence my menstrual cycle, but it has no impact on the people I choose to value and support in my life. Their words and actions do that. And your words speak loud and clear, DP.

    DP you may want to do a bit of reading up on Lilith and Wild Woman before you attribute it to the McClintock Effect. They are completely unrelated and I find it insulting that you insinuate that they are the same thing. Agree with PG completely...I choose my friends based on their core values and I'm going to defend my friends (regardless of their gender) if I feel they are being unfairly treated.

    I normally do not care what job people have, but really more interested in the person they are. Jobs or money does not define who I am and how I treat the people around me and my friends. A certain someone keeps inferring or associating that my job makes me a stuck up person or not nice. It doesn't make sense. This is a continuous personal dig at me and frankly it gets tiring and tedious. So a reciprocal comment was just me reacting to it. Which I shouldn't really take the bait. Silly me in engaging in such mindless banter. I should just take my own advice and continue to Ignore the incessant trolling that occupies her day, regardless of what she does in real life. Well, I have not dissed people before for not having a job or their financial standing or education. some of my friends have gone thru hardship and are unable to hold a job for one reason or another. Yet they are the nicest people around. A gorgeous friend on here was without work for a while and I never chided her for it. But she never made nasty comments about my job either. Actually, no one has done this before, until now. Having or not having a job never came up in our conversations. it is what it is and I appreciate her for the great kind person she is.

    Someone is treated to all expenses paid trips by work then thats great for them. I wish I had a job like that! I know Lily and she works bloody hard. Same for anyone whose employers look after them well. I was pulled up for saying Ive been treated to champagne dinners and nights away. I loved it. I was left with no money and had to claw my way back into working life. After 50 no one wants to know. These guys made me feel special and I love them for that. My man is the same. Im not bragging just very thankful that I can enjoy my life. Work with benefits can only be a good thing. I dont begrudge anyone who is having a nice life. Mr 3 knows me well and knows I havent much to brag about. But when nice things happen Im grateful for them xx

  • RHP

    Nobody is saying that lily hasn't worked hard for, or doesn't deserve what she has. The issue in this case was the casting of aspersions on those who don't have jobs, or don't enjoy very privileged perks as part of their job. lily may not normally mean her comments about her job and all its perks to sound as if she is bragging, but they will come across to some that way and her comment to ITM had a definite bragging tone to it. I recognise that it was probably motivated by her personal feelings towards ITM but it was worded in a general way and it's no wonder some people took issue with it (I know I did). Personally, even if it was only directed towards ITM I don't think it's appropriate to disparage someone publicly based on their economic or social position, it's a really low blow. I will also point out that there are many people who work bloody hard and who will never even be able to travel on a plane within Australia, let alone overseas. I think it is good for all of us to reflect on our privilege and recognise it where appropriate. Yes we all have difficulties in our lives and that shouldn't be negated, but the majority of us here aren't worried about where our next meal is coming from or whether we will still have a roof over our heads next week, and that's more than many can say these days.

But to me it is just no different from you or anyone else sharing their personal issues, problems (big or small), new /fun sexual experiences or delights. Some do more than others. Others share their many experiences at clubs or parties all the time, holidays with their mates or families overseas or interstate , great restaurants they have visited, or delicious experiences with their fwbs or couples (numerous for lucky some), interstate trips for meet and greets, new dresses/lingerie and shoes for meeting greets, etc. Some people talk about it all the time and not get called out for it. It's all fun so why not post them. It can be interesting. But surely some people can also see that as bragging? Who is.the arbiter of what we consider sharing or bragging? I for one, like to hear and learn about different interesting experiences that I can't afford or don't have time/opportunity for. I read about a regular here who travels a lot too and he posts regularly here about it. Is.he bragging or just sharing his travel and work experiences? Very seldom have I shared issues I struggle with as a hard working single mother. Most of the time, I find it unnecessary for me to share some of the struggles I have as I know many are not interested to hear other people's problem. I get migraines or get down at times. But I don't need to tell the forum about it. We all have enough problems in real life. So only a few close friends here know. I rather reach out to people in private to help or chat. Not too long ago, I said how broke I am for the time because of spending my hard earned cash to provide for my kids school fees and mortgage, etc. Can't afford new dresses for the meet. Happy to hear other people doing their clothes shopping. I'm lucky and proud to have the job I worked so hard for at university and lots of obstacles I have to overcome - racism, sexual discrimination, etc - to get where I am, on my own. I applaud and am inspired by women and men, who make the best of what they have, specially those with nothing to start with. these people, some here on this site, continue to inspire me and I hold in high esteem. Each positive and negative experience matters to me, I derive strength in lessons I learned. I am no victim. I refused to be one and always tackle my problems or challenges head on. I am a survivor. I fight to get what I want and not conformist. As any single parent here know, regardless of what they do for a crust, every dollar earned to ensure the kids are fed, sheltered and safe is a small victory and reason to celebrate. how we enjoy ourselves and celebrate will vary. I like nice things if I can afford it. I share those experiences here at times. You can read it or bypass it. Your choice, respectfully. So should you be holding that against me?

    The comment I.made was in response to the previous personal dig that itm made about me. It was deleted. the aspersion she made, from a relatively benign positive post I made about going away, was mean spirited. basically saying that just because I work hard and my job allows me some perks I would not normally afford, that I'm Not a nice person. Previous digs from her, like I used and abused people to climb up the corporate ladder, rather than my own merits, went ignored by most. That comment was made last year. Not sure whether it was deleted. how she came to that conclusion is mystery. Didn't see anyone here chastise her. I just ignored that comment and let go because it was stupid. I suppose you could say I.had enough of her stupidity and insecurities. I just can't stand her bs anymore at my expense.

    I've taken ITM to task many times over her comments, as you would know. I know what it's like to become frustrated and angry, and to want to retaliate, but I still don't believe that bragging about your privilege and publicly shaming someone over their social or economic position is justified. We will just have to agree to disagree about this one.

    Hang on, hang on..! I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but are you guys referring to bike pics not being allowed on RHP?Cos I've had more than a few pics of me an bikes on here...I probably still have one or two now. I just don't emphasise the fact too much because of the whole bikes-being-an-extension-of-my-penis attitude. Really, I don't think of them like that, they've just always been my mode of transport. That's all.

    Broke after paying your kids' school fees? Private school is that? Forgive me if I'm off the mark but there are very good public schools around. For the record, my kids went to private school, but in my singledom, that wouldn't have been an option. Hardly see that as a struggle, more a choice, due respect of course 😃

    Is when guys tell you they have amazing cocks and tongues. Otherwise, people talking about whats going on in their lives, be it good or bad, and the inevitable comment thrown in to stir the pot. Its the RHP forums which are hardly world threatening issues. Anyway, Im going to relax in my humble wee house with a glass of bubbles (11 dollars a bottle) and reflect on the blessings I have in my life. Have a lovely weekend everyone xx

    No mate, I just found myself humming "Nut Bush City Limit" (sung by Tina Turner) whilst at work and thought to myself (again)....'just WHY aren't motorcycles allowed in it'?. Seems like a silly rule to me, and I just wanted to know if anyone else knew. I mean, was it blowback 'cause the Mayor's cat got run over by a 'bike once, or something like that? And what's with the 25mph speed limit? Obi1

    Whatever happened to that lady who sung the chorus to "Baby it's you". You know, the one with the large set of....lungs (and the mesmerising dance moves) For some reason I can never recall anyone else in that band! Obi1

    Seriously enough of your stance that you know anything about me or my kids. you are now attacking my kids and I do not take that lightly. My family, specially my kids, are off limits in any attacks from anyone in this forum or anywhere. have some respect and don't cross that line. Leave out my kids out!!! How I look after my kids, as a single mother is none of your business. I work so my kids go to school (state or private, who cares?) to pursue their dreams and make themselves good contributors to the society we live in. I don't receive government handouts and neither my kids. My kids work part-time. I insist they do so they can develop a good work ethic and not take things for granted. I do my job because it is what I know and.trained for. I sacrifice my time away from the most precious people to me, my kids, because I love them more than life itself. For you to belittle me and make me feel guilty for going away for long spell at a time is nasty. As though there is not enough guilt shaming happening there already. happy for other to join the chorus. Any parent, who dearly love their kids, know that the most precious and memorable times in our lives is to be with them. This is just a job. As I type this, locked alone in my impersonal hotel room, after spending hours with so many strangers who probably won't remember me next week, I feel a deep longing to be surrounded by my boys' laughter, jokes, their stories of.the days activities and discussion over dinner on subject about life, topics that rile them like discrimination, racism, etc, their dreams, their heartaches, and so many more. I could happily drown in them. The hardest part of my job is not the job itself, but the separation. If I can have a job that will keep me with them all times and still continue to ensure they are able to chase their dreams to.the best of their ability, I'll grab it without thinking g twice. Living and working away, regardless of surrounding, plush or not, is not a luxury. The best luxury and reward s spending time with my kids. Ask any FIFO parent regarding the pain and guilt of separation. have you ever wondered why there are such high rates of suicide among them? I sometimes envy some women who can share the parenting duties with their partners. I don't have that luxury of having a partner. So continue to mock me, you and others here, who do not know me or pretend to know me. pffft. You can continue to be pious and righteous about having a job like mine. At least I.have a job to keep my kids safe and in school, regardless if my personal sacrifice. I need to be their rock because I'm all they have. my children and friends love and care are all that keeps me going. They can see how hard I work and I look forward to reconnecting with them when I get home. We have come to terms with our lot, but it still hurts for myself and my kids. Most of yoi will never understand the pain. So go on people. Throw your best punches at me. It really doesn't matter and it won't make a difference. Do it if it makes you feel happy and superior. I'll still be doing my job well tomorrow, NO excuses there, and my kids will continue to chase their dreams. My community of friends ( here and elsewhere. and family will continue to love, support and care for me as I them. These are the things that matter. This i find fulfilling and make life more interesting and worth living.

    God.. I LOVE them perks... I did one not too long ago.. From my door to another country.. and back to my door.10 days.. ALL expenses paid.. AND.. well over $1500.00 a day ...To have FUN..... AND.. that had nothing to do with my skills.. OF how hard I had worked..IT was all to do with the fact that I PUT myself "Out there"AND my .... uummmm... unique Looks.. OF course, these do not come along too often...BUT, my work takes me to a lot of beautiful places.. both rugged and dangerous.Often VERY unpleasant,, but, I doubt I could think of a job I have ever done.. even with the injuries included, that I wish I had NOT done..I fckn love my life...just saying...

    Your boys are lucky to have a mum who loves them so much, they must be proud of you. We all try to do our best as parents and I certainly can relate to struggles and sacrifices for the sake of our kids. ITM - so terribly sorry to hear that you're doing it tough. I don't know you or your circumstances so can't really comment. I have been through really tough periods myself (financial and emotional) and it's awful when you're going through it. I hope you have a good support network xx
