  6. That's betta lova lova.... ...just wish I could feel the , I'm high on Orajel.
  7. The answer to your problem is a thick condom and some Ambesol. You can pick both up at the local drug store. The Ambesol will be in the baby department, since it's to keep small children from crying while they are teething. It will sting a little bit, but that's a good thing isn't it? Wait a few mins and then put the condom on. You should have about 20 mins with no feeling in your cock while you are good and hard. If you can't please your wife in 20 mins, then you have no business using your cock and should just buy a strap-on and learn to use it properly. Not that you shouldn't know how anyways. There are stronger things out there than the Ambesol you can order them on line, but they take longer to arrive. This will help you out in the time being. ALWAYS use the condom or her tissue will also absorb the Ambesol and she won't feel anything either. Which of course defeats your purpose. I can not vouch for the accuracy or safety of this remedy; use at your own risk

  14. I thought sometime alone was what we really needed you said this time would hurt more than it helps but I couldn't see that I thought it was the end of a beautiful story and so I left the one I loved at home to be alone (alone) and I tried to find out if this one thing is true that I'm nothing without you I know better now and I've had a change of heart I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart I'd rather have the one who holds my heart whoo-oo-oo-oo yeah And then I met someone and thought she could replace you we got a long just fine we wasted time because she was not you we had a lot of fun though we knew we were faking love was not impressed with our connection they were all lies, all lies so I'm here cause I found this one thing is true that I'm nothing without you I know better now and I've had a change of heart I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart I'd rather have the one who holds my heart who holds my heart I can't blame you if you turn away from me, like I've done you, I can only prove the things I say with time, please be mine, I'd rather have bad times with (please be mine) you, than good times with someone else (I know) I'd rather be beside you in a storm (anytime), than safe and warm by myself (so sure baby) I'd rather have hard times to gether, than to have it easy apart I'd rather have the one who holds my heart (my heart) I'd rather have bad times with you (surely), than good times with someone else (surely) I'd rather be beside you in a storm (oh yeah), than safe and warm by myself (all by myself) I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart (you know it) I'd rather have the one who holds my heart I'd rather have the one who holds my heart I'd rather have the one who holds my heart whoooo.....who holds my heart

I don't worry Whenever skies are gray above Got a pocketful of rainbows Got a heart full of love Mister Heartache I've found a way to make him leave Got a pocketful of rainbows Got a star up in my sleeve Kiss me extra tender Hold me extra tight 'Cause I'm savin' your sweetness For a lonely night, aye Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye No more teardrops Now that I've found a love so true I got a pocketful of rainbows Got an armful of you Kiss me extra tender Hold me extra tight 'Cause I'm savin' your sweetness For a lonely night, aye Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye No more heartaches Now that I've found a love so true Got a pocketful of rainbows And an armful of you
  17. It was in another lifetime, one of toil and blood When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved Everything up to that point had been left unresolved. Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail, Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail, Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair. She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." Now the bounds are broken and they can't be retired A one more journey to the woods, the hole were spirit tired It's a never ending battle, for a peace that's always torn "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove And old men with broken teeth stranded without love. Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn? "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed. Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes I bargained for salvation an' they gave me a lethal dose. I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine. If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

  19. If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today? If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way? If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all I never know what the future brings But I know you are here with me now We'll make it through And I hope you are the one I share my life with I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am? Is there any way that I can stay in your arms? If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed? If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head? If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life? If you're not for me then why do I dream of you in my life? I don't know why you're so far away But I know that this much is true We'll make it through And I hope you are the one I share my life with And I wish that you could be the one I die with And I pray in you're the one I build my home with I hope I love you all my life I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am Is there any way that I can stay in your arms? 'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today 'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right And though I can't be with you tonight And know my heart is by your side I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
  20. illegal? I guess that would be the .1% - black paint has legitimate uses beyond "walls" just don't say you're painting walls. Say you're painting black kitchen chairs (gloss/semi-gloss) for easy cleaning... They won't stock it, but they can make it for sure... IF they don't... someone will... even if you have to get it off the back of a truck... ya know what i'm sayin'
  21. Then I was 12, I remember holding hands with this girl--I want to say, 'Patty,' but I'm guessing here--and something about the way she held hands was just.../wrong/. Our fingers didn't line up right. You know how when you grab someone's hand, the fingers sort of automatically slide into place, your thumb next to /their/ thumb, second finger next to /their/ second finger? Simple, right? Not a lot of ways to screw that up. This girl did. I think what she did was slide her fingers in too /early/ so they were all out of sync with mine. (I'm sitting here, holding hands with myself to try to explain this to you.) Okay...here's what it is: I like my pinky to be on the outside. And she started one finger too soon, so /her/ pinkie was on the outside, and /my/ pinkie was smushed up between her third and fourth fingers. Now, I'm not saying she's a bad person. But the second we held hands, I knew she wasn't for me. We just didn't /fit/. And I knew I couldn't explain it to her, either. Because, the way I figure, there are two types of people: those who /get it/ and those who /don't/. If they /get it/, there's nothing to explain, and if they /don't/, there's no point in trying to explain. They don't get it. Move on. But I remember thinking that if your'e going to be with someone, you should find someone who gets it. And someone who fits. Now, the search for this person starts early. From the minute we're born, boys and girls stare at each other, trying to figure out if they like what they see. Like parade lines, passing each other for mutual inspection. You march, you look. You march, you look. If you're interested, you stop and talk, and if it doesn't work out, you just get back in the parade. You keep marching, and you keep looking. I was lucky. When I met the woman of my dreams, I knew. I saw her, and I was immediately unable to speak. My throat locked up, my stomach was in knots, I was sweaty, clammy, and nauseous. I had learned years before that feeling nauseous often means you're in love. (Other times, if simply means you had bad clams, and you want to learn to distinguish the two.) But I knew this was it. And the more time we spent together, the more convinced I became--we fit. Interesting thing: Ask most guys why they marry the woman they do and they'll tell you, 'She's the first one who called me on everything.' All the things you tried to get away with in the past, all the games you designed and mastered for the express purpose of keeping people at arm's length were, it turns out, all just a weeding-out process, a search for the one person who /doesn't/ fall for it--the one who can sidestep your tricks and see right through you. And ironically, you're not upset. In fact, you're impressed. You think, 'Wow, good for you.' And the message goes forth: 'Okay, no more calls, we have a winner.' I remember officially proposing. Actually asking this woman to literally, legally, officially, marry me. I couldn't get the words out. I couldn't stop laughing. It felt so dopey. So cliche. 'Asking for her hand in marriage.' I felt like I was in some bad Ronald Colman movie. And it was a moment, after all, I had started planning when I was four and saw a girl jump off the monkey bars and watched her hair bounce off her shoulders. I had given this moment a lot of thought. And suddenly, there it was. I worried I might do it wrong. Should I be on my knee? Two knees? Should knees even be involved? Should we be somewhere else? Should I have hired a band? Would someone else be doing this better? But I asked. And for all the silliness, I was amazed when she actually said 'Yes.' I mean, not that I thought she'd say 'No.' We'd discussed it. We knew we would be doing this eventually, so popping the question wasn't a real risk. But still, there's something so powerful about a woman saying 'Yes.' The mutual agreement, the shared desire, the consent--it's staggering. Think about it. The first time you're intimate with someone, is there anything more exciting than hearing them say 'Yes'? It's wild. You can actually get dizzy. 'I could lean and kiss you, and that would be alright?' 'Yes.' 'Really. Hmm...You have no problem with this?' 'No.' 'You're saying, I could put my hand for example.../here/...and that would be alright?' 'Yes.' 'Unbelievable.' So there we were, on the brink of the Next Big Thing. Forever. The Final Frontier. We stared at each other for a moment, and then I thought, 'Uh-oh, if this person's going to be with me /forever/, she's going to find out what I'm really like. That can't be good.' I mean, she'd already learned /some/ things. That's what the first few years are for; you tiptoe into the water and reveal the not-so-appealing stuff one thing at a time. 'You know, don't you, that I won't /always/ be wearing cologne? That was really more of a 'while we were dating' kind of thing.' Start small. 'You know, when I butter a piece of bread, I don't butter the whole thing. I do each bite separately. Each piece gets buttered individually.' 'I know. I think it's cute.'And then you can tell her the whole story. 'Well, the only reason I bring it up is because I once lived with a woman who left me because of that...Or at least that's what she said. I remember, I was in the middle of buttering a very tiny piece of bread, and she looked at me, swiped the bread out of my hand, and said, 'I don't think this can continue.'...It may have been other things, too.' See, a lot of times we're just clueless. We walk around, scarred from previous relationships, thinking we've learned something, when if fact, things that may have been deal breakers in the past may not even /bother/ the person you're with now. (Learning what actually bothers the /new/ person is how you spend the rest of you life.) But there is this need to disclose potential problem areas. 'I snore.' 'That's okay.' 'No, but I snore in odd, little rhythms.' 'Doesn't bother me.' 'I once snored a medley from /The King and I/.' 'My favorite musical.' 'Alright....I just thought you should know.' And you keep raising the ante. Not that you want to scare them off; it's just that if they're ever going to leave you, let's get it out of the way now. 'You may notice that in the bathroom, I tend to flush a few seconds before I'm actually done. I don't know why, I just do. And there's no way I can change. Do you understan this? Can you accept this? Because it has cost me dearly in the past.' And she /still/ hasn't changed her mind. So you think, 'Maybe this'll work.' And ultimately, they find out everything: How you chew, how you sip, how you hum, how you dance. How you smell at every point in the day, how you are on the phone with your mother, the fact that many of your friends are shallow, that you always have to sit on the aisle, how you never really listen, how whiny you get when you travel, how you're not gracious to her friends when they call, how certain game shows make you really really happy, how cranky you get because you're too stupid to remember to eat, how you manage to get confrontational only when it's with the absolute wrong person to be yelling at, how you don't like the way you look in any picture you've taken since 1974, how you're unable to get off the phone when you're runnng late because you don't have the ability to say, 'This isn't a good time; can I call you back?' How you have to lick certain fruits before actually eating them, how you have no ability to save receipts--all these things, and they /still/ want to sign on. They still like you. This feels good. For about a minute. But the next thought is, 'Wait a second, why is she being so understanding? If this stuff doesn't faze her, /her/ stuff must be even /worse/...Oh God--what don't /I/ know?' And every day, bit by bit, you find out. What I need more than life itself; so much it hurts
