Since we're talking vibrators I will share my embarrassing story. When I was in grad school I lived about an hour away from my parents. One Saturday morning they just randomly showed up at my apartment. No phone call, nothing. And my stepdad doesn't have an adventurous bone in his body so the idea of him coming up to the "big city" whether I lived there or not made it exceptionally odd for them. I can't even remember why they were there, I just remember being annoyed that they didn't give me a heads-up. They only stopped by briefly, they visited a bit, my stepdad used my bathroom, and they left. Afterward I went in my bathroom and my eyes zeroed in on my hot pink cheetah or rabbit or sumshit animal vibrator that was on the bathroom counter. There was no way my stepdad missed that and he looked off when he came out of the bathroom but I didn't connect it at the time.
This is why you always call people. No drop-ins.

Vibrating cock rings are also very nice for shared enjoyment.

I just got a raise. It's not much but I guess it's the thought that counts. RIGHT?!?! I mean, yes, any raise is good. But some of them feel like a slap in the face. Like, you work your ass off, hear the profits of the company, then get some measly amount. Sometimes it pisses you off. Projecting for my H who knows the millions in profits his company makes, thanks to a company wide email, then received a 3% raise. This. Our stock was at a record high but somehow company wide the average raise was 1.2% and there were no bonuses. Unless you're an upper level executive, of course. Fucking bloodsuckers.

inthekitty that’s how I was feeling at work. I’m lucky to be on extended leave. I have never been better. From 9-3 I do as much or as little as I want. It’s amazing. I planned on taking some classes but I doubt I will. I go back and forth between I will go back to teaching, I will stay home forever, or I will go into administration. I though I would be bored at home but it’s hasn't happened yet. I think I could not work for an extended period of time and never get bored. I have enough hobbies on the back burner that I never get to do. I'm retiring the day I can. I work with all these old loser docs with no life. Unless they have seriously fucked up with gambling or are intertwined with the Russian mob, there is no reason they shouldn't have $$$ money to retire. Yet here they are. Cantankerous Dr. Bob who's in his 70s rolling in here every day bitching about benign nonsense. I know he has at least 2 retirement funds that have to be hefty, and apparently he has nothing better to do than sit around in this building without windows all day and eat the same damn broth for lunch everyday. That will not be my life. I'll be the grandma scaling Machu Picchu, taking the grandkids to Disney, knitting, and busting out the crosswords and jigsaw puzzles. My old heart was built for retirement.

I'm here, sorry I was napping. Didn't mean to leave you guys hanging!
I called and a nurse ran interference, but I still belted out my litany of complaints on how the ball was dropped on this, how NO ONE from the practice even bothered to call me, and how I am not feeling confident in my doctors to be upfront and transparent with me. Also, on top of it all, I was left not even knowing when I am scheduled to come in next!
She was of course very apologetic and reached out to the doctors to let them know and confirm that I am scheduled for Monday at 6am. I asked her to please leave a message for the senior doctor to give me a call because I want him to have my feedback on how this went down. I said luckily I have been through this before and know the drill, but imagine if I was a first time mom? Even with being a veteran I feel like an afterthought, and I want them to know that.
Hoping all this stress puts me into labor and I mess up someone's weekend plans. Hmmph.

On vibrators: I'm for them and other fun toys, but sparingly. I worry about getting too used to a sensation that no natural appendage can replicate. I don't want to have to use it, if that makes sense. LOL at Miss Manners flamingo advocating the vibe 😂. ILY, girl.

Hi. Haven't read anything yet, about to start my infusion so hopefully I can catch up while that's going on.
tgrimes Here are the links you can look into for H:
I was able to find my doctor through the local research hospital. There aren't many around, but it looks like that TX Allergy group does have doctors that deal specifically with immunodeficiency and TX Children's will have some, too.
Thank you! Of course, good luck! I know if none are in network you can appeal to go OON if there is nobody in that specialty available who is in network.

A lot of Texas Children's is in Network, it'll just be narrowing down the correct doctor that specializes in immunology. It looks like the Texas Allergy Group is in Network, too.

I would also start small and work your way up. There are a LOT of options and it can be overwhelming...and kind of scary. I wouldn't recommend going ALL in on the first one (like multiple speeds, crazy size, etc), but start with something that doesn't scare you. Also, if your H is into it, take him with you. Or look online together.

Oh my gosh....laughing so hard....I am a member of an Amazon product review group where you get free stuff for reviews. Ironically enough the leader of the group just posted a "massager" as an item available for review. Sometimes the items for review are great and people opt in right away, sometimes they are crap and no one wants them (like the trucker cap with a ponytail hole in the back that made it look like a vulva). In order for the people running these groups to get rid of the crap items they will usually attach them to a good item and say you have to get both. So what item is packaged with the vibrator? A "probe meat thermometer." I'm 12 yo and I'm just thinking about hot man meat to go with the vibrator.

I'm oddly invested in convincing joelies to get Mr. joelies in on the fun. I think he'd come out of his shell. I would buy one, just like mwhip said be coy and say you're getting something fun for the two of you, and just put it on him during sexy time. My husband is shy about this stuff too but yet he happily goes along for the ride when I take the lead on that kind of stuff.

He still thinks it's a bit odd but he's certainly gotten used to it. Perhaps I COULD further break him... Hehehehe.

I'm jealous of both of you. I went to the liquor store at lunch & have champagne, vodka & wine sitting in my office. It's just staring at me.

My mil and sil flew to California today. Since no one could take them to the airport I very selflessly offered to go get her car tonight so she doesn't have to pay for 7 days of storage. I am regretting this decision since it's now pouring down rain.. 45 minutes each way. Ugh.

Also drinking wine and I’m going to go to a store near me and see about this cock ring. Lol. I’m sure my H would be down.
Today was the day i laid off two people, only i laid off one because the other called in sick. I emailed them last night about meeting with me and my boss, so I’m thinking he subconsciously knew something was up and got sick. Idk, just my theory. The guy we told took it well but i was so sad for him. He was a really nice guy but his English wasn’t very good.

Hi! You guys are chatty today! I’ve checked in sporadically hoping for baby news!
We are flying to Wisconsin in a few weeks to visit my sister and my kids are driving me crazy by asking me a million times a day when we are goin, what we’re packing, what time we’re leaving for the airport, ect. I know they’re excited but its driving me up the wall!
Anyway, I’m enjoying a beer and cuddling C while the boys have “quiet time”, then I’m going to let them watch a movie until dh gets home with Pizza.
Oh... and yes to a vibrator. And maybe I should look into a cockring. Dh would be thrilled with anything to help me get in the mood at this point!

Somehow I left 2 pacifiers at the pedi. One during his regular appointment and one during an xray they ordered (he's fine). Now I can't find any! Also, A is now almost on the regular growth curve for weight! On the preemie scale he's in the 75th percentile.
