How Long Since U Saw Yours? (adult)
It has been ages since I saw mine....you know exactly what I am talking about!! IT! That thing between your legs..that alot of us had forgotten about until Slumber Parties! Thank ya DeLarla! My question still stands....how long has it been since you saw yours? I cannot find mine without lifting up my belly..and since that really depresses me I have not seen mine in at least a year! For 5 years I had someone who would let me know it was still there..kinda kept it in tune with free parts and labor. I now do all required maintence..by hand! So yes it has been over a year since I last saw IT..do you think it will still know me?

My thoughts on dating and the band
Who knows why we feel what we feel for another? Perhaps you were lovers in another time... in another place? I like to think that even brief encounters are not by chance, especialy when they touch your heart.

Banded Tomarrow..FINALY!
Tomarrow is the big day, it seems like I have been waiting forever! Good things come to those who wait..ha! I live with my Dad and he has been really sick with the flu.....NOT GOOD! He is still pretty sick,but he is my caretaker and I'm sure he will be fine. I just do not want to catch it....coughing with incesions...can you say OUCH!!!! But I trust God will take good care of us both. I want to thank all of you, this site has been such a wealth of information! I would have never felt this confident without all the hours spent here. Wish me luck..soon I will be a REAL BANDSTER! HA!:Bunny
