Unique design and materials make it the softest, fluffiest and lightest comforter on the market. Cleaner and healthier than down. CHARM is a better comforter.
Full/Queen 90" x 98"
King/Cal King 104" x 98"
How does it work?
Unlike traditional down or down alternative comforters (which are designed only to trap heat), the Charm comforter uses natural volcanic ash to "breathe" out any unwanted, extra heat and moisture.
How? We infuse polyester fibers with millions of tiny volcanic ash particles. Every additional particle increases the surface area of the fiber - and with millions of particles - the surface area of the fibers are actually multiplied several times over.
If you remember from middle school science - more surface area means more contact with air, which in turn means faster rates of evaporation! Check out this WIRED article for more!
We keep it simple too - instead of solely using polyester like the typical down alternative comforter - which does not breathe at all - we use a natural, cooling and breathable plant fiber called lyocell for the majority of the comforter construction.
How do you care for it?
With a duvet cover (which you can of course wash regularly) your Charm comforter can keep itself clean - its eucalyptus fibers helps it stay naturally clean of any damp-related mold or mildew (which accumulates in down comforters) and also resists dust mites (and other microbes and pathogens). Typical spot cleaners can also be used, if necessary.
If necessary, you can machine wash your Charm - but we strongly recommend simply taking it once every 6 months to the dry cleaner.
Your Charm is made from ingredients to love and care for, and dry cleaning will ensure it lasts a lifetime (as most home washing machines aren't designed to handle a comforter, and when soaked and heavy can be damaged).
How can I maximize the effectiveness of my Charm?
Our own Charm duvet cover is coming soon!
In the meantime, we recommend pairing it with a duvet cover made from cotton or linen (or any other natural material). Not only will it breathe better, but you'll save water by not having to wash the comforter itself regularly (see wash and care tips above)!
What exact ingredients are used?
There are 3 ingredients in every Charm.
70% of the entire comforter is lyocell - a natural textiles fiber made 100% from eucalyptus trees - it feels like cotton but is cooling and hypoallergenic. The remaining 30% is a new polyester-like material (developed by scientists in Colorado) called 37.5 Technology - it uses natural volcanic ash (infused within every yarn at a microscopic level) to make polyester breathable. It's rigorously tested and now used by apparel brands like Lululemon and Adidas for its performance qualities.
Oh, and there's also an unquantifiable amount of pure, undiluted love!
What should I know about volcanic ash?
The microscopic and all natural volcanic ash in every Charm is similar to the volcanic ash in baths or wraps at a high end spa.
In our comforter, this ash small is enough that 10,000 particles fit on the period at the end of this sentence - and they're fully infused with the fabric fibers at a microscopic level. It doesn't leak or fade or wear with wash (and we're happy to send you the testing results to prove it)! Because it's actually inside the makeup of the tiny fibers in the comforter, there's no way it can "come off" in any way.
How does the 100 nights actually work and what happens after?
For 100 nights after receiving it, you're welcome to return your Charm comforter if you're not absolutely in love with it! Just drop us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com, and we'll send you a box to return it in, postage already paid.
As long as the comforter is in good, working condition (i.e. we see no signs of mistreatment or ill use) we'll refund your money the second we receive it! Oh, and returned comforters are donated to homeless shelters (and people who could really use their cozyness and warmth) here in San Francisco.
What's the thread count?
320 threads baby! It's enough to feel light and soft, but not so much that it won't breathe!
Is there a lifetime warranty?
There's a Lifetime Warranty! If your Charm is defective or damaged without having been mistreated, we'll take it back and send you a new one.

About Matt Parish
As a software developer, it is my goal to create games and applications that engage, enlighten, and enchant players and users. In my games, I accomplish this by providing a unique experience that m...aximizes interaction with, and influence upon, the storyline and environment, stimulating players mentally using a variety of methods focusing on deductive reasoning and problem solving, and captivating them with refreshing artistic style and compelling narrative. In other applications, I plan to accomplish the same by designing clean and intuitive user interfaces that allow the user to focus on the task at hand, focusing on software that is informative or educational in nature, and providing a polished look and feel along with reliable and responsive performance that will give users the "wow" factor they crave. Some examples of companies that I feel have accomplished similar goals very well are Double Fine Productions, Chair Entertainment, Amanita Design, Playdead, Valve and too many others to list without running out of memory. I credit my inspiration and continuing drive to the creative minds from these companies and the players who support them.show moreOpen to other proposals

REFERENCE the two letters (SNJ, Jan 18) from Dr Richard House and Andrew Finebaum concerning the catastrophic dire state that the Labour Party is in since Jeremy Corbyn was elected its leader.
Both writers failed to mention that Labour's Fabian Society stated that only half those who voted for party in 2015 General Election were prepared to vote Labour at the next election.
They also failed to mention that Corbyn has been put on probation as leader by Len McCluskey, the general secretary on Unite and formerly Corbyn's biggest supporter and paymaster.
I note that Richard, who has been undoubtedly Corbyn's loudest local cheerleader, failed to mention his name once in his letter.
Perhaps Richard has come to his senses and realised that a Labour Party with Corbyn as leader is doomed to failure.
I do agree with him and restate that I believe the Lib Dems are a phoenix party which within a couple of general elections will re-establish the level of support they enjoyed under Paddy Ashdown.
Andrew writes that on the back of the new signed-up party member's cards it is stated that Labour is a democratic socialist party but he failed to mention that it is being hijacked by extremists of the hard left.
That could fully explain the Fabian Society's fears above.
I agree with Andrew that Tony Blair while PM has a lot to answer for with regards his foreign policy and that "dodgy dossier", but on domestic issues he did do a lot of good.
The minimum wage springs to mind.
Corbynists demonising Blair are rubbishing their own Labour Party history, which is totally counter- productive.
I agree with Andrew that Corbyn has deep-rooted principles and probably a good heart, as I'm sure has Richard, but both men have their heads deeply buried in the sand.
The road to hell is full of good as proven in Liverpool in the 1980s when the hard left (Militant) took control of local government and within a short period were sending out redundancy letters by taxi to their own workforce.
Their high aspirations were unaffordable.
The Trident nuclear weapons issue is very thorny.
I too would love to live in a nuclear weapons free world but unfortunately that technology cannot be put back in the bottle.
I disagree with Andrew and am pleased that the British government could exercise some sort of moderating influence over Donald Trump by retaining Trident.
Regular readers know that Richard bends facts to bolster his own opinions and demonise opponents.
In his letter he claims that I am "beloved of first-past-the-post" but I have never stated an opinion on the subject.
I reminded Richard that the subject was dead following the AV Referendum of 2011.
Richard also claims that actual voting figures are not an indication to future voting patterns and goes off on a wild goose chase distorting Lib Dem results.
The truth is that at this stage of an electoral cycle nearly every main party of opposition is bolstered by good results in by-elections.
Corbyn's Labour is bucking that trend, which so terrifies The Fabian Society.
Richard must be corrected in perpetrating that great myth that the majority of Labour MPs are a tiny elite representative of the party in parliament whereas in actual fact they were elected to Westminster before Corbyn's militants hijacked Labour.
These MPs should be applauded and supported in that they are staying true to all their electors and not kowtowing to the extremists.
I am not a member of any political party and have voted for various different parties over the years.
Richard has admitted that he is the "butt of many a joke", and only writes in support of Corbyn's Labour.
I want the best for my country which includes a strong opposition party that sadly Corbyn is failing to produce. I accept Richard's challenge and am more than happy to allow the readers of the SNJ to decide whose viewpoint they support and whose they consider a laughing stock.
Whatever, everyone knows full well that those who are laughing loudest are Labour's opponents.

New York City – The Rudy Giuliani Presidential Exploratory Committee today reported more than $15 million in receipts for the primary during the first quarter. The Committee raised nearly $14 million in primary election funds with over $11million cash on hand, the vast majority of which is primary money. More than $10 million in primary funds was raised in March alone, highlighting avery healthy fundraising pace. Including the money raised at the one event in December, the Committee has close to $17 million in primary receipts.
Giuliani Campaign Manager Mike DuHaime said, "We are thrilled by the response to Mayor Giuliani's optimistic vision, experienced leadership and proven record of results. Considering our late start, we are very pleased by the pace raised in March and see it as a positive indication of what's to come."

On a recent visit to the Sunshine Sewing Center in Margate, Florida, I had an opportunity to review the Janome DC 2012. Like new cars, the folks at Janome offer a special Décor Computerized sewing machine each year.
Also like new cars, there are very few if any changes from one model year to the next. The 2012 and 2013 are very similar, and all indications are that the 2014 will not be any different. Both the 2012 and 2013 have detachable work tables that reveal a free arm, drop feed and 50 stitches.
According to Faye, the owner of Sunshine, the only true difference is the color used on the front panel.
At A Glance
The DC 2012 is smaller than many of the other sewing machines in the shop.
On board function buttons control stitch locking, reverse stitching and needle up and down.
The Janome DC 2012 also has a variable speed slider, on board threading guides and seam guides etched on the needle plate.
Whether you opt for the Janome DC 2012, the 2013 or decide to wait for the release of the 2014, the standard features on all the machines in the Janome Décor Computerized series include:
- 50 utility and decorative stitches
- 3 one-step buttonholes
- Auto-Lock
- Up/Down needle position buttons
- Auto-declutch bobbin winder
- Stitch number, width, and length buttons
- Direct stitch selection buttons
- Fully automatic sensor buttonhole
- Convertible free arm for circular sewing
- SFS (superior feed system)
- Automatic needle threader
- Reverse Stitch button
- Variable speed control slider
Working on the Janome DC 2012
Easy to follow diagrams tell you how to wind the bobbin and thread the machines in the Janome DC series. A decal on the clear bobbin cover shows you the right way to insert the bobbin in the bobbin case.
The decorative and utility stitch options are highlighted in lime green on the front panel. Stitch numbers are shown in white circles above the picture of the stitch.
Beneath each picture is a letter denoting which presser foot is required for each stitch.
From left to right, the white buttons above the stitch selection guide enable users to choose between utility and decorative stitches and to increase or decrease stitch length and width
The first button, the menu button, is the key. The lighted green dot to the left of the '0' in the photo tells you which function is being controlled. When the '#' is lit, you can choose your stitch option.
Pressing the menu button a second time will take you to the stitch width function, moving the lighted green dot to the middle position.
A third touch of the menu button will enable you to make your stitch length longer or shorter.
The stitches produced by the Janome DC 2012 are clean, well formed and sturdy. For this particular review, I sampled several decorative stitches and even used the appliqué stitch to attaché a small heart shaped appliqué.
The one thing that I don't especially like about the Janome DC 2012 is something that is apparently common on many newer sewing machine models.
I can't for the life of me understand why the lever to control the drop feed function is on the back of the machine, beneath the removable work table.
When you are busily sewing and decide you want to engage the drop feed – even to sew on a button – you must first remove the work table. To me, this is a very inefficient waste of time.
If you ask me, this is one of those innovations that was put into place by someone who doesn't sew and has no idea how impractical the placement of this essential feature truly is. The sooner they move the drop feed control back to the front of sewing machines, the better.

Tying Off The Loose Ends
The sewing machines in the Janome Décor Computerized series are well built sturdy machines that are capable of making home décor items like drapes and cushion covers as easily as making a delicate blouse or dress.
The stitch quality is superlative and operation is easy enough for a beginner to master with just a little bit of supervision. I would not hesitate to recommend these machines be used to teach a child in elementary school the basics of machine sewing.
The long list of optional and standard accessories make these machines an ideal option for the intermediate and advanced home sewer who is looking for a computerized sewing machine to add to their sewing room. It is lightweight, easy to move about, and reliable.
I'm not at all thrilled with the placement of the drop feed controller, but all other function buttons and controls are easy to reach and user friendly.
The Janome Décor Computerized series has been around since 2010. No doubt, there's a very good reason for this series to continue to be manufactured. My disdain over moving the drop feed controller is not limited to the newer Janomes.
I have noticed the very same problem on other machines as well. One of these days, I would like to get an explanation from someone who was part of the decision making team that approved this completely inefficient move.
Thank you for allowing me to vent. Now back to the Janome DC 2012. With that one exception, the Janome entire Décor Computerized series are very good sewing and quilting machines that are great affordable options for sewers of all ages and sewing skills.
Visit your local Janome dealer for a demonstration of the newer models in the series. If you are in the market for older models, you might be able to find them on the web on sites like e-bay or amazon.com.

My friends who can stomach watching politics on the state level here in NH say it seems as though liberals exist in some kind of group-think echo chamber. They spend double digit percentages more than they have in revenue during a recession, guaranteeing job loss and economic stagnation. They raise taxes without a whisper of a thought of how it hurts those with fixed or lost incomes, then look for more.
But you need to know who liberals are and how they feel about things (as opposed to think about things) to really understand what is at play with these moonbats.
Pay attention, here is the obvious reason liberals often act as though they have an echo chamber mentality.
It isn't an echo chamber in which the liberals huddle together for each other's immoral support – and inspiration - it's a bathroom.
Yes you can find political inspiration, as well as a slight echo, in a bathroom. As a matter of fact, in NH, thanks to our liberal Democrat friends, you may soon find a great big sweaty man in a dress lounging in a gal's stall.
Progressive delights await your daughter or son. Now they too will be able to regale friends and family at future events with stories previously reserved for sailors on shore leave.
Change we can believe in. Let's show Vermont who's moonbats are more out of touch.
Thank you NH Democrat Party!

Dubai, July 30: India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja Wednesday appealed to the International Cricket Council (ICC) against the 50 per cent fine slapped on him by Match Referee David Boon for his altercation with England fast bowler James Anderson during the first drawn Test in Trent Bridge.
The ICC in a statement said that after receiving legal submissions from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) it has accepted Jadeja's request for an appeal against the recent decision by Boon.
"The player was found guilty of an offence under Article 2.1.8 of the Code of Conduct and fined 50 per cent of his match fee. The appeal will be heard at the same time as the disciplinary hearing taking place in respect of the charge against James Anderson on Aug 1 in Southampton. His Honour Gordon Lewis AM, will oversee proceedings via videoconference," the ICC said in a statement.
Anderson has been charged under a level three offence and could be banned for three Tests if found guilty.
The two players reportedly had a heated altercation while they left the field during the drawn first Test at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, earlier this month.

Channel Trading and Imperfect Competition: Good Trades and Bad Trades
We investigate the potential economic effects of spectrum trading amongst firms who require spectrum licences as part of their activities. Trading takes place within the technical interference constraints enforced by a regulator. The model accommodates a variety of markets and firms, as well as both chan- nel exchange and channel re-use (i.e. sharing across different markets). Our most detailed analytical results have focused on trade amongst oligopolists in a given (geographical) market. In this context, our results suggest that trade can enhance productive efficiency by placing licences in the hands of firms who value them most (i.e. low-cost firms). These are the 'good trades'. However, there is a danger that this process may cause higher consumer prices which, in turn, could offset the welfare effects of lower cost production, the 'bad trades'. An important outcome of our modelling is to make clear a role played by licences: they provide credible commitment mechanisms to restrict output.

Lady Mary Would Be So Down for a 'Downton Abbey' Movie, Which Is Further Evidence It Is Really Happening
::totally unladylike reaction that would give Carson a coronary::
If someone's made a brass band version of the Downton Abbey theme, now would be the time to use it, given how Lady Mary practically just went "PICK ME! PICK ME FOR THE MOVIE!"
In a new interview with the Telegraph, Michelle Dockery echoed what executive producer Gareth Neamesaid in March 2015 (#neverforget): that while the Granthams and their downstairs people no longer occupy a time slot on PBS, they will live on forever
on Amazon Prime in our hearts *and* possibly the silver screen.
"I think there is potential for a film," she said. "That is something I would wholeheartedly consider, so we will see. It may not be over yet."
Plus she and the other actors—probably even those traitors Dead Matthew and Dead Sybil—are all such good buds, it would be almost too easy picking up right where they left off.
"The thing that I miss the most are my cast members," she said. "But we are all still very close."

I take 90mg now. The doctor has told me that this should curb my appetite for starches. I eat more starches than ever!!!! What should I do? I do take the Cymbalta for severe PMS and anixiety.READ MORE
what is the highest dosage available for Cymbalta
Hi Amy: One of the possible side effects of Cymbalta is a decrease in appetite and the effects appear to increase with dosage. Doctors can prescribe as high as 120mg, but there is no research that supports higher effectiveness in doses much higher than 60mg. However, this side effect is not true for everyone. In fact, when Lilly studied the effects of Cymbalta and its side effects, it showed that only 11 out of 225 patients tested on the 60mg dose demonstrated decreased appetite as a side effect.
Because Cymbalta is an SSRI/SSNRI, there is always the risk of "weight changes" which can mean either up or down.
You should speak with your doctor about your concerns. If it is working for your severe PMS and anxiety, you have a very tough decision to make.
Best of luck,
Dr. Diana Walcutt

There is no better way to welcome the weekend than with breathtaking bridal portraits captured beautifully by Alicia Lucia in the heart of New Mexico. An ethereal lavender hued gown that dances in the wind and a lush bouquet by Stephanie Yardman create for an epic look.
Words from the photographer -
"Our biggest inspiration for this bridal session came from the incredibly unique terrain that New Mexico has to offer. We wanted to highlight those epic landscapes, so we traveled 2 hours outside of Albuquerque for this bridal session. We also designed this shoot around the trending free form bouquets.. They are all the rage in the U.S. & stylistically, this series screamed for a bouquet rich of soft tones with tons of movement. In the interest of complimenting the breathtaking terrain & stunning wardrobe, the florist paired soft tones with an earthy feel to bring this look to the next level. Knowing that there's generally a breeze this time of year, she used hearty florals and longer streamers to help capture that movement. To compliment the organic free flowing bouquet, the hair and make up artist, Christy Johnson highlighted the model's natural beauty by focusing on earthy tones without distracting from the splendor of the setting. She was also inspired by Shelby's incredible hair and emphasized the length of it by creating long soft curls and added depth and shine to the dark tones by gently dusting her hair in shine spray."

Video or Life Gamers?
Every year the subject is the same: do video games influence someone to become more violent? Psychologists present their theories, many of them even offended by this type of opinion. They disprove the idea that someone who plays GTA can be going out trampling everyone out there.
The fact is that the results of studies, so far, have never been able to prove the direct influence of video games on young people and how they may end up triggering violent behavior.
A stream of psychologists see a direct relationship of video games with violence. One study, conducted by Brock University in Ontario, Canada , indicated that high school students who were playing violent games for longer periods of time have a bigger tendency to engage in " problematic events " such as fights in the school environment, for example.
Others psychologists, more careful, believe that the negative influence even exists, but it is not coming only from games but from the media in general. Thus, movies and television series, for instance, also are able to make the people more violent.
Another happening is that some statistics from the U.S. government show that the number of young offenders fell over 50 % between 1994 and 2010 - the period which the sales of video games have exploded and more than that, they have doubled.
In addition, Michael R. Ward, economist at the University of Texas, published a study which he and his team show that the highest numbers of sales of violent games are related to a significant reduction of the occurrence of crimes during the same period. One reason would be the fact that instead of being "playing" on the streets, teenagers would be at home playing video games.
However, there is no a direct link between an incident and another. It is not possible to say with certainty that it really makes sense. The truth is that this discussion will last for many years.

My Teacher, My Pet
Chapter 13
Three hundred and fifty-five pounds. Yeah, 355. I'd benched 355 pounds today. I had a crowd around me yelling and screaming and urging me on, so of course I outdid myself. You always do better when you're on the spot and everybody's watching. So not only did I bench 355 but I did four clean reps. Well, almost four. I got a little help from my spotters on the fourth rep and maybe a tiny bit on the third but I ripped them off like nobody's business and everybody was cheering and congratulating me. So let me tell you I was pumped, both physically and mentally. And when I get this way I get horny, really horny, outrageously horny, unbelievably wickedly horny. I was going to fuck Carl so hard he was going to think I was drilling him a new asshole.
I hadn't even bothered showering so my tank and shorts were soaked with sweat, and sweat was dripping down my face. I deliberately wanted to be hot and sweaty when I fucked him. I was going to ram it to Carl so hard that he was going to think he'd died and gone to heaven. I'm not even sure that I could wait to get him into the bedroom, I might just take him right there on the floor by the front door.
Then I opened the front door. "What the fuck" I yelled. Carl wasn't there. I mean I was so hot and my dick was so hard that I thought it might explode without me even touching it.
"Where the hell are you?" I yelled out. "Get your ass in here." I didn't hear anything so now I was getting really pissed. Carl and I had been living together for over two months now and he was always here on his knees by the door waiting for me. Always. He'd be dressed in only his collar and his leather G-string and he'd be here with his head bowed waiting for me. I demanded it of him but he loved doing it anyway. It was incredibly exciting for both of us.
"Where the hell are you?" I shouted. There was still no response, so I knew that something was drastically wrong. I was pissed but now I was worried as well.
Dropping my gym bag I headed into the apartment. I stuck my head in the bedroom but he wasn't there. Then I heard his voice. "I'm in here JD, in the kitchen" he said.
"What the fuck" I said as I entered the kitchen and saw him. He was sitting on the floor in the corner by the outside door. Sitting on the floor with his hands covering his face. Yes, sitting on the floor with his elbows on his knees and it looked like he might be crying. He not only didn't have on his collar and G-string, but he was still dressed in a shirt and tie from school. Now I was really worried.
"Baby, what's wrong? I asked. "Carl, what's going on? Are you okay?" I hurried over and got on my knees in front of him, grabbed his hands and pulled them away from his face. "Baby, tell me what's wrong. Please tell me." He was crying.
"JD, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry" he whimpered.
"Carl, what's wrong?" I consider myself the original macho man and nothing fazes me, but Carl was scaring the hell out of me. "Carl, please, tell me what's wrong."
"JD, please. ImsorryImsorryImsorry. ItriedtostopthembutIcouldntdoanythingaboutit, andtheyaregoingtobeheretomorrow" he blurted out like as if it was one long word.
"What the fuck?" I barked.
"Please, JD. I'm sorry. ItriedtostopthemIreallytriedtostopthem."
"Will you fuckin calm down" I said to him. I was happy to know he wasn't hurt but so far he wasn't making any sense. But, I was getting an awful feeling about it. Something terrible had happened. . "What's going on? Slow down, and tell me."
"JD" he said and then took a deep breath. "My mother and sister are coming here tomorrow. They're going to move in here with me" he said it and just waited. He waited for the explosion.
"WHAT?" I bellowed. "What did you say?" I knew what he said, but somehow it wasn't registering. His mother and sister coming here?
"I'm sorry, JD" he whimpered in fear. He knew quite well what a temper I had. "My sister is leaving her husband and she's coming here with my mother tomorrow."
"Wait a minute" I said. "Wait a minute. This can't be happening" I barked. "There ain't no way they are coming here, to our apartment."
"They are, JD. They are" he said. "They're getting on a plane in the morning."
"Well, you damn well stop them" I growled at him. "I don't care what you do, just stop them."
"Please, JD. Please don't be mad" he said as reached out and put his hands on my shoulders. "Please don't be mad" he said softly. "I'm sorry."
"Please don't be mad? Please don't be mad?" I cried out in anger. "You dumb son of a bitch, how could I not be mad?" Now my temper was beginning to take control.
"Please, JD. Please. Take it easy."
"God damn it" I bellowed, pushing his hands away. "They think they're coming here? They can't, Carl. They can't."
"Please, JD. Please" he said. "I don't like this any better than you do. You know I hate it, but it's my mother and my sister. I can't do anything about it. They're coming. Their plane lands tomorrow afternoon."
"Start over again, god damn it, and tell me what happened. Why are they coming here?" I admit I can be a real pain when I've got my temper up, but I was trying to keep calm and listen to what he had to say. After all, this must have been bothering him as much or more than me, and he wasn't freaking out. Well, maybe he was, just a little. I mean, if sitting on the floor in the corner of the kitchen and crying isn't freaking out, I don't know what is. But at least one of us had to try to stay in control.
"I just got the call an hour or so ago, JD" he said as he reached out and took both of my hands in his. "I'm really sorry, JD" he said as he leaned forward to try to give me a kiss. I shook of his hands away and pushed him back, banging his head against the wall.
"Please, JD. Don't be mad" he whimpered.
"I'm not mad" I growled as I proved just the opposite by grabbed him by the collar and giving him a shake. "I'm... I'm... I'm... upset." Of course I was mad. I was madder than hell. And when I get mad I sometimes just lose it. "You stupid fuck. You let this happen." I let go of his tie and got my hand up to slap him, and he put his hands up and cringed in preparation, but I caught myself just in time and didn't hit him.
I took a couple deep breaths trying to calm myself. I actually formed my hand into a fist although I'd never hit Carl with my fist. But right now I wanted too. I really did want to hit him. I wanted to slam my fist into somebody, anybody. "What's the deal?" I shouted into his face. "What's going on?" Carl kept trying to back away, to try to get away from my anger, but of course he couldn't because he was already sitting with his back against the wall.
"Evidently my sister and her husband have been having some problems, JD" he said evenly, "and she wants a temporary separation. I guess she stormed out of the house last night with her mom and the kids and stayed in a hotel."
"I told you she had kids. A two year old and a baby" he responded.
"Shit" I said. "Just what we need, kids."
"She says it will only be for a few weeks, JD. She tells me she still loves him but thinks a cooling off period will help."
"Just a few weeks" I said sarcastically. "We know how that goes. A few weeks turns into months."
"I don't know" he said as he grabbed on to my hands. "I'm just telling you what she said, JD. Only a few weeks."
"Yeah, I'll bet."
"Why are you so wet, JD" he asked. I wasn't about to tell him about the major fuck I had planned, and I also now realized that my pecker had gone soft anyway, so I just ignored his question. Talk about plans going amuck.
"So where does that leave us?" I asked, finally making the connection on how this was going to affect us. "Where does that leave me?"
There was a long pause as we looked at each other and it sank in how this was going to change everything. Carl didn't say anything but just waited for me to come to the obvious conclusion. "I have to move out."
"Yes, JD" he whispered.
"Hello." It was my dad's voice on the phone.
"Hi, Dad. I'm coming back home. I'll be moving back in tomorrow."
"James? What? You're what?"
"I said, I'm moving back in."
"You're moving back in?" he asked. "Is that what you said?"
"Are you fuckin deaf? Yes, I said I'm moving back in." I found my Dad to be a real pain in the ass, and I never gave him any slack. He was such a wimp and he pissed me off all the time, and it even embarrassed me that I even had to admit he was my father.
"Ahhh, James Degan. You can't" he sputtered. "I mean, ahhh... you can't. Your mother...."
"What the fuck did you say?" I snapped at him. "I can't? You ain't listening old man. I said I'm moving back in."
"James, listen" he said desperately. "Your mother turned your bedroom into her sewing room. We don't have a bed in there anymore."
"You got rid of my bed?" I shouted at him. "You fuckin got rid of my bed?"
"James" he said pleadingly. "You said.... You said you wouldn't...."
"Well, you'd better get it back" I growled.
"We can't, James. We can't. It's gone."
"You better get another one then, pretty damn quick" I said. "Either that, or you and Mom are going to be sleeping on the floor."
There was a long pause. "James, you wouldn't. Where would...."
"I don't give a fuck where you sleep. You can sleep in the garage for all I care. I'm going to sleep in a bed."
"James Degan, listen, please. Be sensible. We weren't expecting you back."
"Well, you're expecting me back now" I said. "Get me a bed and get Mom's shit out of my room. I'll be there tomorrow." I hung up the phone.
"Dumb, son of a bitch" I growled. "He actually got rid of my bed."
"Well, what did you expect?" Carl said. "You told them you weren't coming back. As I recall, you told them in no uncertain terms that you weren't coming back."
"They shouldn't have changed anything in my room without my permission" I groused. "He knows that. They both know that. They don't fuck with me, ever. Once I get moved back in I'm going to have to straighten them out again."
"Go easy on them, JD" Carl said. "They are your parents after all, and you are putting them out. Try to see it from their viewpoint."
"I don't give a shit about their viewpoint" I grumbled. "My viewpoint is the one that matters. I'm their kid and they gotta do what I say. And don't you try to tell me how to treat my parents."
"Okay, JD. Okay" Carl said putting his hands up as in self-defense. "I know this is a sore point with you. But that doesn't change the fact that you're still under age and they're legally responsible for you."
"Responsible for me?" I laughed. "You've got to be kidding. Oh, shit! Responsible for me? What a fuckin laugh. My parents? Responsible for me?"
"Calm down, JD. That's the law, like it or not. And you are moving back in with them aren't you? There letting you move back? Seems like they must still feel responsible for you."
"Well, I don't like it, and law or no law, they're not going to fuck around with me" I grumbled. "And they damn well better get me a bed."
So I moved back into the house. They had moved my Mother's stuff out of my bedroom by the time I got there and put some of my stuff back, but they hadn't replaced my bed yet. I moaned and complained and bitched about it, generally giving them a bad time, but even I'm not crude enough to put my parents out of their own bed.
I mean, you should have seen the little twerp when he told me they hadn't been able to get me a bed yet.
"James Degan" he stuttered. Yes, stuttered. He was always nervous when he talked to me these days. Of course I was physically overwhelming with my massively muscled physique and I'd made it clear to him on several occasions, verbally and physically, that I wouldn't put up with any of his shit anymore. Yeah, physically too. I had him up against the wall one day with my elbow in his throat and made it perfectly clear how he was going to treat me. He'd been spineless with me ever since.
But to be perfectly honest, I loved hearing him and seeing him like this, nervous as hell, afraid of me and scared of how I might react. Yeah, it gave me a thrill that my old man was afraid of me.
"James Degan" he started again. "We've moved your mother's things out of your bedroom, but we haven't been able to get a bed yet."
"You shouldn't have gotten rid of it in the first place" I growled at him.
"I know, James, I know" he mumbled. "I hope we'll be able to get one by tomorrow."
"So where in the hell do you think I'm going to sleep? I told you to move a bed into my room, didn't I?" I snapped, but then I actually smiled at him. "A bed? Any bed?" I was putting the screws to him now. "Where exactly did you intend for me to sleep tonight?"
He visibly paled at my smile, or maybe it was a smirk. Yeah, it was a smirk, something that he recognized from previous encounters. He paled and gulped, and I could see I had him squirming as he spoke hesitantly. "James, please. Your mother... You know your mother has a back problem. You...."
And yes, that's the power I have over him. He knew if I was a mind to, I'd kick them out of their bed for the night and take it for myself. He knew I could do it and he knew he wouldn't be able to do anything about it. And I admit, I thought about how much fun it would be. I could just picture forcing my father to help me move their bed into my room. What a turn on. I loved having a power trip with him and watching him grovel and squirm.
"You'd better get a bed in here by tomorrow" I said and saw him physically relax knowing I wasn't going to kick them out of their bed. "I'll sleep on the sofa tonight."
Just to rub it in I had Trace over and fucked him on the sofa. They had to have heard us but they didn't say anything. Hell, they didn't dare say anything. Yes, I was being difficult, a real pain in the ass in fact, but I was angry about the whole situation and maybe I was taking it out on them. I didn't want to live with them, but as long as I had too, I wanted to make it clear to them up front that I'd do anything I wanted and there wasn't a damn thing they could do about it. I wasn't being fair to them but that was beside the point. I really didn't give a shit about being fair. I just wanted to find a way out of this situation.
So Carl's sister, her two kids, and his mother moved in with him. Talk about cramping our style.
Since my parents were pretty much under my thumb, I didn't worry about them cramping my style. If I wanted to bring somebody home and fuck them in my bedroom, I'd do it and I didn't expect them to say a word. I hadn't done it before I had moved out of the house, but now that I had experienced freedom, I wasn't about to go back to fucking guys in the backseat of a car, or in the bushes in the park.
But, Carl was the problem. My parents had met him. They knew he was my math teacher. We certainly couldn't fuck in his apartment with his sister and mother looking on, and Carl was not so loaded that he could get another apartment, or rent motel rooms. Besides, it looked like he'd be supporting not only his mother, but his sister and kids for the foreseeable future. He was actually giving me spending money but that was probably coming to an end as well.
I'd fucked guys in a car before, but it was too damn cramped and the sex Carl and I were accustomed to just would not fit in a car. I'd gotten blowjobs in the park any number of times, but I was damned if Carl and I were going to roll around in the dirt when I fucked him.
But we were used to fucking every day so it was a quandary. The only solution, as I saw it, was to face up to Carl and to my parents and let them know that I planned to keep right on fucking him in their house. This was a real quandary because I was still a minor and I knew my parents would not understand the Master/slave relationship that I had with Carl. They'd see him as a pedophile and me as a mental case no matter what.
Besides, even if I convinced my parents, I knew Carl would be against it. There was no question he wouldn't want to have me fucking him in my house with my parents knowing that I was his student. But I really couldn't see that we had any other choice.
And, let me tell you, I was used to getting it a couple times a day from a great cocksucker with a tight ass, and even if I made it work, I wasn't sure that I would be able to keep it in my bedroom. I mean, when Carl and I fucked, we spread out, using every inch of the apartment, anywhere from the living room floor to the kitchen table to the shower stall, and even in the bed. I simply wasn't about to give that up.
And I wasn't about to give up Carl. I don't know if I loved him, maybe I did, but I sure had some warm feelings for him and I loved being with him. I loved looking forward to being with him every day. That Carl was so madly in love with me, and showed it in every way he could every second of the day, was just phenomenal and almost overwhelming for me. How could I help loving him when he showed so much love for me? The way he'd light up when I walked into the room was just beyond description.
"I thought you were working out in the weight room with Trace and Coach Bryan today?" Carl said as I entered his classroom after seventh period.
"I told Trace I had a pressing engagement and he had to give me half an hour" I answered. "He said he'd get things organized in the weight room."
"Coach Bryan doesn't mind waiting?"
"You know damn well Coach will do anything I want him to do. You know that I had him, I told you."
"JD, please. I don't want to hear it" he said.
"Well, I did have him, and ill bet he he wants it again. It's no big deal" I said. But the reason I'm here is because I haven't seen you for three days. I haven't had you for three days." He got a big smile. I knew he was thrilled that I had missed him, and wanted him.
"Did you really miss me?" he asked, grinning from ear to ear.
"When was the last time you gave me a blowjob?" I said giving him a leer and groping my crotch.
"Is that all you miss? A blowjob?"
"Okay so I've missed your smile. I missed kissing you. I missed you in my bed this morning. I've missed fucking you. I've missed everything about you."
He gave me another big smile. "JD, I'm sorry. But you know we can't do it here, in school" he said. "It's too dangerous." I turned around and locked the door and closed the blinds.
"We've got to find a way around this" I said. "I can't go back to living at home like a hermit. We've got to do something."
"I wish I could think of something, JD. I really wish I could."
"Well, I've thought of something. How about Larry?"
"What? Larry?" he asked. "Larry who?"
"Stickle. Larry Stickle, the English teacher."
"Well, yeah. Okay. What about him?"
"He's gay" I said positively.
"Well, yeah. I think so" Carl answered. "I actually don't know him very well, and he's never said anything, but he could be gay."
"We can use his apartment" I said and laughed. "We can fuck at his place."
"How on earth are you going to manage that" Carl said in true puzzlement. "I don't know him well and I don't think you're in his class, are you?"
"I'm not in his class but I've seen how he looks at me in the hall. I know he's hot for me" I laughed. "You should see how hard he tries not to look. He wants it."
"You're making that up, JD, and you know it" Carl laughed. "How can you say he's trying not to look at you if he's not looking at you?"
"Well, it looks to me like he's trying not to look at me. I swear he looks the other way if I pass him in the hall" I said. "Besides, if he's gay he's got to want me. You know very well that all gay guys want me. I'm Mr. Irresistible."
"Okay, yeah. Mr. Irresistible" he said sarcastically. "But JD. How.... Ahhh.... what did you have in mind?"
"It's simple" I said. "I'm going to seduce him and I'm going to fuck him. Then I'm going to tell him we need to use his place."
"JD, ahhh" Carl said hesitantly. "I don't know. You ...."
"He's hot for me, Carl. I'm sure of it, but even if he isn't, it's no big deal making him hot for me. You know I can do it."
"Well, yeah, maybe. But, JD. He's a teacher" he said.
"So what? So are you. Once he sees my dick, he'll want to chow down on it in a second if I let him."
"JD, you better be careful. You can get into a lot of trouble."
"Don't worry" I laughed. "I've been honing my skills as a seducer and I know damn well I can take him."
"Yeah, but if you try something and he doesn't like it... I mean, you were lucky with me."
"Lucky? You think I was lucky?" I said in surprise. "I seduced you and fucked you, my math teacher? That was luck?"
"As I recall, you raped me" he said with a smile. "But I wanted it. I wanted it as much as you did. What if Mr. Stickle doesn't want it?"
"I'll make him want it" I said.
"Yeah, maybe" he said. "But that's dangerous, JD. Something could go wrong."
"Are you kidding me?" I laughed. "You think I can't do it? Are you out of your mind?"
"Well, okay" he laughed along with me. "I know you can do it. I have no doubts you can do it."
"Of course I can do it" I said. "I'm Mr. Irresistible. But right now Mr. Irresistible is horny. Are you going to do something about it?" I put my hands on my hips and just stood there not moving but staring at him. He waited a full thirty seconds or so before he finally got up, walked over to me and got on his knees.
"JD? You know I love you, and I love doing this, but what will we do if they catch us and I get fired?"
"We'll worry about that later. For right now, suck." He unbuttoned and unzipped my cur-offs and took my prick in his mouth.
"Our only choice, Carl, if Larry doesn't work out, is to do it at my house, my parent's house, in my bedroom. I don't see any other possibility. I'll simply introduce you and tell them what we are doing, and tell them to keep their mouths shut about it."
"JD...." Carl started to say, taking his mouth off my prick.
"Suck" I said, giving him a light slap along the side of his head. "Don't talk. Suck." He went back to sucking.
"I was thinking of telling them to stay out of the house a couple afternoons a week, and maybe Sunday so we'd have the place to ourselves. I mean, screwing you in my bedroom in my bed in the missionary position every day would get pretty damn old pretty damn quick."
"JD...." he tried to say again.
"Shut up" I said. "Pull my shorts down." He pulled my cut-offs down and I stepped out of them. Then I walked over and sat in his swivel chair. "Here" I said, grabbing my almost fully hard prick and swinging it back and forth a few times. He looked at me for a couple seconds, and then crawled over and took it into his mouth again. "Go to it, cocksucker" I said. "Do it good." And Carl went to town.
As much as I'd always liked being in control of the sexual act, Carl had become such a great cocksucker that I seldom touched him except maybe in the final seconds. He knew exactly what I wanted from minute to minute and damn near strangled himself giving me the utmost pleasure he could manage. He had become a genius, a master cocksucker. And he loved doing it. I know guys love sucking on a big dick and I've had them by the dozens, but I never imagined that anyone could get as much pleasure as Carl did from sucking me off.
So I put my hands behind my neck, leaned my head back, and just let the pleasure build and build and build as he performed his magic on me. He kept at it, getting me hotter and hotter over the next fifteen minutes or so until he finally got me to the point of no return.
"Ohhh, shit" I finally bellowed. "You incredible cocksucker. You son of a bitch. I'm coming." Grabbing his head and ramming his face into my crotch, I fired my first shot deep into his esophagus. Then letting go of him, he pulled back so the second and third shots fired into his mouth. Then he pulled off completely, leaned his head back and taking hold of my prick, allowed the final shots to land on his face and then on my belly.
"Oh shit, you're good" I gushed. "You are so fuckin good." He was still holding my dick in his hand, so, giving me a great big smile and looking me in the eye, he started rubbing it all over his face, smearing my jism from his forehead to his chin.
"I love you, JD" he said as he looked up at me worshipfully. "I really love you."
And then came a knock on the door.
"Oh, shit" Carl gasped in horror. "Oh, shit. I told you we shouldn't do it here." I think he saw his life coming to an end at that moment. His face went white and he looked like he was going to have a stroke. I got up and headed for the door. "JD" he cried. "Your shorts. Put your shorts on."
I looked at him and gave him a smirk. I didn't give a damn if anybody saw me with my dick hanging out. In fact I found it exciting. But I picked up my shorts and pulled them on. Carl got his cum towel from the bottom drawer of his desk and wiped my cum off his face. My dick was still semi hard and was making quite a bulge in my shorts, but again, I didn't give a damn. If we were found out it wouldn't make any difference anyway. But whoever was at the door was going to see for themselves that I had a big one. I opened the door.
Standing there, outside the door was a little cherub. A tiny little kid with the face of an angel. His eyes were drawn to my bulging crotch, then to my bulging pecs, and then to the frown on my face. My eyes were drawn to his face and I was actually taken aback. He was gorgeous.
"Excuse me, sir" he gulped. "Mr. Jameson?" he said as he tried to look past me. "Mr. Jameson?" Carl still looked white as a sheet, but he was trying to regain control.
"Ahhh... yes. Ahhh... Troy" he said hesitantly. "Yes, Troy." The kid was tiny, maybe 5'2" at the most, and while they say I have a baby face, this kid had the real thing. He was breathtakingly beautiful. He had a face and lips that you just want to kiss, or in my case, stick your dick into. And he didn't look skinny either. He may have been tiny but he seemed to be well filled out. I don't know why I hadn't seen him before, since he was obviously one of Mr. Jameson's students. This was the kind of kid I latched on to, seduced, and fucked. He was my perfect type.
And then I had a second thought. He did look vaguely familiar. I had seen him somewhere before, but I wasn't sure where.
I reached forward and put my hand behind his neck and pulled him into the room.
"Eeeek" he said as I gave him a shove towards Carl's desk. Then I stepped outside and classroom and closed the door. I leaned back against the wall and waited. If I'd been a smoker, this would have been a perfect time for a smoke.
Of course the kid had heard us. No telling how long he'd been outside the door, and I ain't quiet when Carl blows me so there was no doubt he heard every bit of it. Besides, he must have been listening because he waited for us to finish before he knocked on the door. I forgot to look to see if he had a hard on, but I have no doubts he did. The only question now was, what did this kid intend to do with this information. No, there was still another question; where had I seen him before?
I'd let Carl have a few minutes with him and then I'd take over. No matter what the kid said. I knew Carl wouldn't give anything away. The kid had no proof, and Carl was a good teacher and knew how to deal with kids. There was no doubt that Carl would know how to handle him.
Regardless of what Carl did, however, I'd straighten the kid out. I couldn't help but notice how his eyes damn near bugged out of his head when I opened the door. He couldn't help but see the tent in my shorts, I mean, his eyes were automatically drawn there. But then he looked up at my chest, and I think his eyes bugged out even more. He must have been admiring my physique. Hell, everybody admires my physique, but this kid was different, and what was different about him was that he was beautiful and he turned me on. He was a gorgeous little tyke and I wanted him.
And then I remembered where I'd seen him before. In the periphery. Now that I thought about it I could vaguely recall getting glimpse of him now and then. Not enough to get my attention since I'm always surrounded by hangers-on, but off in the background among the crowd. Thinking back on the times I may have seen him, it seemed that he was always there, almost invisible in the background.
No wonder he knew I was in with Mr. Jameson. He may have been stalking me.
It wasn't that long, maybe ten minutes, before he came back out of the room. He did a double take when he saw me, but then started down the hall.
"Hold it" I said and he froze. He froze and then turned his head to look back at me.
"Yes, sir" he gulped. I walked up to him, put my hand on his shoulder and started down the hall, tugging him along with me.
"I'll give you a ride home" I said.
"Yes, sir. Thank you, sir" he said and gulped again and I felt his body quiver. He was either afraid or excited, or maybe just thrilled that I was giving him attention.
I can tell you about stalkers. A hunk like me, with muscles galore and a movie star face, a football player and a wrestler, and the most popular kid around; you can bet there were plenty of would-be disciples around. Some were aggressive and tried to talk to me, while others just looked on from a distance with longing while they creamed their britches. This kid was one of the latter.
I liked guys of all sizes but I preferred the ones with some muscle. But my favorites were little guys; little guys with nice bodies, and this kid was about as perfect as you could get. He was probably 5'2" and weighed about 110 pounds while I was 6'1" and weighed about 220. Part of the reason I loved Carl was because I could toss him around and play with him, and this kid was smaller than Carl. A lot smaller.
He kept glancing over at me as we headed out to the student parking lot. His eyes would go to my chest (remember, I always wear tight t's so my pecs really bulged out), and then they'd flick up to my face and back down again. This kid was wild about my muscular chest. Like most little guys, he was enamored by big guys with big muscles.
So I had his number already and knew exactly how to handle him. He'd do anything I wanted, and I wanted my dick in that pretty face.
"This is not the way to my house" he said into my ear. He was sitting behind me on my scooter with his arms around me.
I didn't bother answering him, but just drove to the picnic area in the back of the park. It wasn't particularly isolated, but it was in the back of the park and a long way from the street. And, as I expected, there was nobody here this time of day.
You know I'm a master seducer, and my gaydar works perfectly, but I knew it wasn't even necessary with this kid. As we got off my bike I stepped over to a picnic table and sat down. Looking him in the eye as he stood there watching, I unzipped my pants and pulled my dick out. Keeping my eyes on him I just waited.
He just stood there frozen, his eyes going from my dick to my face and back again, over and over. I didn't say a word but I did get a smirk on my face. That smirk was to let him know that I knew he was not going to be able to resist getting on my big wanger. My smirk said 'you're going to do it against your better judgement, because this is a dick that dreams are made of, and you can't resist it'. He knew I was making fun of him, but he wanted my dick so bad it didn't make any difference and he didn't mind demeaning himself because he wasn't going to let this opportunity get away. I reached down and diddled with it a little.
Very slowly, he walked over to me and got on his knees. My smirk changed to a big grin. Shit, I'm good. I'm always right-on-the-mark when it comes to determining a guy's interest in me and what he'll do for me.
He gave the head of my dick a kiss and looked up at me. My grin changed back to the smirk as I looked down at him.
"What's your name, kid?" I asked.
"Troy" he said, and gulped.
"Go to it, Troy. It's all yours."
Staring up into my face, he took my dick into his mouth. He was one of those kids who like to watch their Dom while they suck. It really emphasizes their submissiveness when their Dom is smirking down on them while they're looking up at him with his dick in their mouth, and that's what Troy wanted.
I let him go for a couple minutes before I said anything.
"You know about me and Mr. Jameson" I said. Not a question, but a statement. He pulled off my dick keeping his eyes on me.
"Yes" he said warily. I think he was wondering if I was going to beat him up or something.
"How?" I asked. He gulped and began to turn pale. He was afraid. "How" I repeated.
"I... I..." he murmured. "I was helping a friend."
"You what?"
"Yeah, I was" he said. "Ah JD, ahhh Sir. Trace is my best friend. I was .... He told me all about you and I was .... I was following you. Ahhh.... for him." .And there it was. He had been stalking me, just as I guessed.
"Trace Bryan wanted you to follow me?" I'd have to check this out with Trace.
"Well he .... Ahhh, he wanted .... I mean he said ...."
"What are you going to do about me and Mr. Jameson?" I asked.
"Nothing, JD. Nothing. Honest" he said, looking scared. "I think it's cool, JD. Really. I wouldn't say anything. I like Mr. Jameson. I'm in his advanced algebra class." One of those damn smart kids.
"You know what would happen if you said anything?"
"I wouldn't, JD. I wouldn't" he said slightly flustered. "I would never say anything."
"Okay, Troy." He sounded so honest that I believed him. I was sure he wouldn't say anything. "Now, are you going to suck or are you just going to talk?" I smiled at him and he smiled back and took my prick back into his mouth.
And the kid wasn't bad. He'd obviously had experience. He only choked near the end when I took over and started jamming it in. But he handled it well, and except of a little dribbling down his chin, he swallowed most all of my junk, and licked my dick clean when he was done.
I generally do a guy (or girl) maybe just once, or, if they're really good, twice, but this little kid was gorgeous. Tiny, and hunky, and totally enthusiastic about sucking cock, just the way I like them. You simply couldn't ask for better. I'd definitely consider him for repeat performances. That's plural, performances.
"Can we do this again, JD? Please?" he said. "I'll do it for you, anytime. Please?"
"Sorry, Troy, but I just moved back into my parent's house, and it's kind of cramping my style."
"We can do it at my house" he said excitedly. "I've got my own apartment, so it's completely private."
"Your own apartment?" I said in surprise.
"Well, yeah" he said, somewhat embarrassed. "I have my own apartment above the garage. I live over on East Street."
"Oh, yeah" I laughed. "On East Street, where the mansions are." Not only was the kid smart, he was rich as well.
"Well, yeah, I guess" he said sounding apologetic for being rich. "We could do it there, JD. Please."
I laughed and rubbed my fingers through his hair. "Okay, we'll see."
"Please, JD. I'll suck it all day long if you want. Come over on Saturday morning and I'll suck you all day. Please, JD, I'll do anything you want." He wasn't asking, he was pleading. He was really hot for me. I doubt he was following me because Trace asked him to. Trace told him about me and he wanted to get in on it. He'd been stalking me for who knows how long hoping to get my attention, and now that he'd got my attention and had a taste of my cock, he wanted more. He was a real cock hound.
"We'll see" I said and I gave him my cell phone number. He was such a cute little thing, I knew I'd see him again, particularly since he had his own apartment. In fact, I'd probably see him on Saturday. I'd never experienced an all-afternoon blowjob, but I'd read on the net about guys getting sucked slow and easy for two and three and even four hours, and shooting their loads any number of times, and it sounded terrific. Smoke a little weed and lay back with your dick in a hot wet mouth and just float. What could be better?
As we got on my bike I had another thought. This kid had his own apartment which he said was private, and he already knew that Mr. Jameson and I were having an affair. It looked like this might have possibilities. This could be the resolution to our problem.
Comments appreciated

Roger Ebert wins Carl Sandburg Literary Award
I didn't know Carl Sandburg wrote film criticism. But I do now because Roger Ebert posted on Facebook his May 2000 column about Sandburg and the movies.
Ebert, the first film critic to win the Pulitzer Prize for criticism, posted that essay because he will receive this year's Carl Sandburg Literary Award from the Chicago Public Library Foundation.
"The award is named after the former film critic of the Chicago Daily News," Ebert joked about the latest honor to come his way.
Ebert will receive the honor at the Sandburg gala on Oct. 20 at the Forum on the campus of the UI-Chicago.
"Without question, Roger is a master of the written word," foundation CEO Rhona Frazin told The Chicago Sun-Times, where Ebert, an Urbana native, has worked since 1966, two years after graduating from the University of Illinois journalism program
The gala's co-chair, Donna La Pietra, told The Sun-Times that Ebert was "a unanimous choice" of the selection committee.
"Roger is a brilliant writer on so many levels," she said.
"First I was humbled," Ebert told The Sun-Times. "Then I thought, it's sort of appropriate, because Carl Sandburg was in fact the film critic of the Chicago Daily News for much of the 1920s, and I wrote the introduction to his collected reviews. So now he's returning the favor."
Ebert also has his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, won the Chicago TV Academy Silver Circle Award in 2005 and received a special-achievement award from the American Society of Cinematographers, the first given to a film critic.
Ebert also was inducted into the Lincoln Academy in 2001. That's the highest honor bestowed by the state of Illinois.
To read his 2000 column on Sandburg as critic, go to http://bit.ly/czzNzz.
Since 1999, Ebert has hosted in Champaign his annual film festival, a special event of the UI College of Media. I know there are many folks here who would like to give him an award for that!

A Waitress to Go

The Daily Dot Store: the leading destination for stylish accessories, gadgets, everyday carry essentials & more!
PROMOTE: Place a Text Link on this Confession ONLY
Read This Confession To Me
My first job ever was at a little family-owned restaurant next to a convenient store in a very small town in Virginia. We had all sorts of customers, from lake-visitors to college kids, but most often they were older country men. Me being the waitress and hostess, I was to take everyone's orders while keeping a smile on my face.
I'm a teenage girl, so I was used to some of the men being a little flirty, but I was taught that I needed to smile and let it roll off of my shoulders like nothing had happened. I did it rather well, and stuck to being a professional as well as I could, even in some awkward positions. There was one time, however, I was told something so extreme that it left me awkward, stunned, and speechless.
One of our usual customers had come in one afternoon with a friend to grab some lunch before their evening plans of drinking around a campfire. I smiled and greeted them upon entrance of the restaurant, and they smiled and greeted me back. They walked up to the counter, and as I pulled out the order pad (a bit distractedly looking for a pen), I asked them what I could get them as procedure. As I had said, I was a bit distracted, so I didn't hear the man when he replied. His buddy began cracking up, which immediately got my attention.
I looked up with a questioning look on my face and the friend laughed and said "I don't think she heard what you said!" The other man began chuckling so I politely smiled and asked him what I could get him for lunch. The man leaned in close to me over the counter, dropped his voice low and whispered to me "I said I want a waitress, with nothing on it, to go. How much will that be?" in the most dead serious voice with the most serious look on his face. He then winked at me. And then?
They broke out into loud howling laughter, doubled over because they were just oh so hilarious. Between gasping for breath, they asked me if I could do that for them. I simply just stood there frozen to my spot. I had no clue how to respond to that while maintaining a work-appropriate attitude. I wanted so badly to respond to them and tell them just where they could shove their request but I couldn't quite for the words to say it.
Luckily for me, my boss had heard what the man said and marched over to confront him. She angrily told him that he and his friend had better behave and place his order the appropriate way, or that they were out of there for good. If not for her, I'm not sure what would've happened because I wanted so badly to tell them off.. To this day, it's been one of the most awkward experiences I ever had in the workplace, or even everyday living.
