Nigel, this is actually starting to get to me.

I don't even know what you're talking about.

Nigel, celibate since March.

It gets worse.

[East Coast Hustle]

It can't. I'd already be dead.

ECH,

I would literally die.

I used to think I would. Now I know better. OTHERS  must die.

[East Coast Hustle]

I'd agree with you on that point (and do in theory), but I'm pretty sure I'm actually allergic to celibacy and would die of some combination of anaphylactic shock and bleeding out through a ruptured scrotum.

It won't kill you.  Others?  Yes, quite possibly.

This, too, will pass...  just not until I am good and ready.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

It's not so bad, really. When it starts seeming awful is probably about when I'll be ready to end it.

[Dysfunctional Cunt]

I find I have little sympathy though I love each of you.... 

I will not give the number of years (yes YEARS) but let's leave it with KHARA WINS THE CELIBACY FORFUCKINGEVER RACE!!! 

In truth though..... 

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I have a friend who was celibate and not at all looking or interested for about ten years while she raised her daughters. Then she met her current boyfriend, and they are blissfully happy and ridiculously in love. It's really great.

It's going to fuck up people's backs regardless.  You're bending over and ripping off sheets no matter what.

Oh, I know.

I thought so.  I just had to write the stupidity, just to see if it was really as stupid as it sounded inside my head.

It was.

YAY!!! Maybe I can still have hope!!!

I'm getting there.  I'm less screwed up than I was this time a year ago, just not quite there, yet.

On the less-screwed-up note...  Walked past the place I was attacked, for the first time since it happened.  Hadn't meant too, was walking down in the area and didn't recognize the turn. I don't know how I'd expected to feel, but...  Nothing.  Just, yeah, a bad thing happened there.

In addition, now there are two kinds of sheets to keep track of and pair up. Sounds like it would make the maids' jobs harder, not easier.

yea, that sprang to mind right after i said something about it being more efficient having fitted sheets.
im not sure whether you come out ahead having to track two types of sheets while avoiding the necessity of fitting flat sheets to a mattress, or having just one type of sheet while avoiding that additional step...
not having dealt with the latter, i can only assume that the fitted sheets are better, otherwise they would not have caught on, no?
which do you use?

I use fitted sheets for the simple reason that they're what they have when you buy a sheet set at the store. But they're more of a pain in the ass to take off and put on, IMO, and they're always annoyingly popping off at one corner or another. I should switch to flat.

navkat's fitted sheet rule:
When plainwhite fitted sheet comes out of dryer, you have fifty-fifty chance of grabbing corner at random, choosing bed corner at random and getting right the putting on bed.
Chance of right putting goes down thirty-thumk percent when do thinking to be get right the putting on bed so that nintey-nine and three quarters time you are to be getting wrong.

Reading this post is like driving on a highway in a rainstorm and you hit a really big puddle -- Everything is fine and then you realize the wheels aren't actually on the road, you have no control over anything, and the whole car slowly fishtails its way off the road and crashes into the guardrail.

I've found that with a king sized mattress the dimension is close enough to a square, that the fitted sheet fits well enough that it doesn't matter the orientation.
i don't know why they didn't just decide on an actual square when they were establishing bed sizes...
