I have decided long ago that mental health is more important than money, so I see my ATF weekly.....all afternoon, plus I bring gifts, food, cd's. Keeps me young, her happy, a win/win. So I will eat porridge in the nursing home in 30 years......so what!

this actually was meant to go under the doom and gloom economy section below........

I am so glad that you are able to spend whole afternoons with your ATF and shower her with gifts. Not many of us are so blessed with such discretionary wealth that we can ignore our mortgages, rising food and energy costs and the real possibility of losing our jobs in these tough economic times. Under these circumstances. spending (even occasionally) on the hobby may actually bring about mental distress rather than curing it. Just my two cents.

You are entitled to your opinion and your spending habits just as Ladoque is entitled to his without you assuming that he is shirking any of his financial responsibilities simply because he has a different set of priorities, or maybe just a higher income, than you or others may. Your concerns about the economy are justified and your choices about where to spend your money are entirely up to you.  Same goes for the rest of us...

Iwish I had the same extra spending money to
do the same, I think we all would like to live
out our fantasies more than just one hour.
Way to go you only live once.

...I never assumed that "Ladoque is shirking his financial responsibilities".  I was merely questioning his premise that spending on this hobby necessarily leads to mental well being for all hobbyists, especially during tough economic times.

Please read my posts as carefully as I do when I write them. Thanks.

you will be in the Guinness book for being the oldest man alive!

1.  The first thing you can do is, to not watch CNN for a week... the world news is not very happy right now, so just try to stick to the local news for a week, and see if you feel better : )

2.  Smile : )  If you smile on the outside, you will feel better on the inside : )

3.  See your favorite girl! : )  The shared endorphins from having fun should lift your mood : )

4.  Enjoy the sunny weather! : )

~Grace : )

your post put a smile on my face

Excellent : )  Smiling is the first step to recovery  : )

Also, don't forget to take your vitamins, and drink plenty of fluids when it is hot outside : )

A healthy body is the foundation to a healthy mind : )

~Dr. Grace : )

So you are saying a sound mind in a sound body ? If I enlist your services will I have to wear a jonnie ?

I have no idea what a jonnie is, but if it will help your mental health to wear one, then please do!! : )

~Grace : )

It is that piece of clothing they make you wear after you take your regular clothes off (before the doctor sees you

Oh!! : ) The answer is yes

After I wrote my last post, I thought for a bit, and  I thought that maybe a Jonnie might be a slang word for when Mr. Happy is erect!! : )

~Grace : )

I have found in the past that when I see you I start to priapate, can you treat me for this ?

It would be best for my mental health if you could kindly refrain from using words that I don't know what they mean!!! : )

~Grace : )

m5unit and I are done monopolizing the board... everyone, take my orders, and smile : ) : ) : )

Dude you hobby as much if not more than I do. You have reviewed over 30 women in 2007. So it ain't that bad. Kill all the doom and gloom....If it really is that hard for you   then the answer is simple SLOW THE FUCK DOWN...lol Here is a novel idea instead of seeing 5 girls a month only see 3 or 2.  They hobby is a luxury...not a necessity .Just like all things in life you have to budget and keep it all in perspective. 4 years ago I ate dinner at my favorite restaurant 4 times a month. I have cut that shit down to once a month.

Don't get me wrong.... The economy sucks and I hope George Bush and Dick Cheyney rot in hell for what they have done to this country. However the facts are guys will simply hobby less. Perhaps some of the ladies might drop their rates to drum up more business.  

We are not talking about the price of milk and and gasoline.  If the hobby is too expensive simply cut back.


It ain't that serious.

Most of what gets posted here is opinion KK. I read your post and responded to it based on what I got out of it. Nothing more, nothing less. I always read and respond carefully. We may disagree on your intent but it doesn't change my opinion on what I read.

and I wasn't saying that everyone's mental health should be dependent om hobbying....I was just speaking for my personal case, and anyone who knows me knows why I say what I do>   And they know why I say, Dust to dust......etc..........I take ALL my responsibilities seriously, kk, just ask your friend the celebrated photographer , Bon Vivant, and sensualist Codpeace.........and BECAUSE I take this all seriously, I am veryu welcome in many special UTR places around town.  I have no boats, no country clubs, no more tuitions to pay........so out of my way, I am headed for some well-earned pleasure. PS I work 5 full days a week, plus mornings on weekends......minus an afternoon here and there as stated for "golf."

and re Priapism....the painful non-ending erection which comes occasionally from certain drugs.......it can be nasty,,,,,but in med schools, the students say "Well, Priapism is better than NO PISM at all.!"  I guess you each have to decide on that one !!!!

also Dyspareunia:  pain on intercourse......
"Dyspareunia is better than NO Pareunia at all."
Ladies ???????   well what do you say ?????

I'm with Grace.

What the hell is everyone talking about?!!!--LOL!

my kind of golf you play.......I know that.....now I have to go see a lady who will polish my putter !!!!
One wood....two wood.....3 wood !!!
