One of the exceptions I gave myself to the Internet Fast was allowing myself time to research things for projects. Husband caught me on Craigslist last night and told me that didn’t count as research. In my defense, I was looking up what folks were charging for refrigerators because Mr. OCD had to buy one when we moved here that hadn’t been a house with bugs and mice but then decided that he wanted a new version of our fridge from California so we now have two. One fridge lives in the fridge spot in the kitchen and one fridge lives in the foyer. I hate Foyer Fridge. There is no reason for its location and no purpose in our lives so I was trying, yet again, to sell it. Hence my craigslist research. I learned that apparently no one is selling a new slightly used fridge because no one is crazy like us. While I was on Craigslist, I took a quick look at part-time jobs. I always look through part-time jobs. You never know when you might find the perfect blend of work and fun and slightly crazy so it’s always a good idea to look. Also, you never know when you might find an ad from a guy looking for a masseuse: Soooooo many questions starting with, why mention you’re a Country Music Star? If you really are, just tell us that the job requires discretion. And no massage license needed? Just good with massages and being attractive would be a bonus? Yeah, this is not sounding like a just a massage, Mr. Country Music Star. It's sounding like a happy ending. AND then I found an ad for this video project: I actually have no words for this. Okay, I lied. I have a more than a few words.
First off, that person in the picture looks underage. Totally showing my age here but she looks pre-teen. Secondly, I’m all for women telling it like it is and I totally think that talking about sex should be less taboo but this video project looks like I might only be able to watch it through the fingers of my hands. They start off strong by saying 'that different women like different things.' Thank you! Nicely said but then you follow it up with 'What we really like down there, in detail.' That varies from woman to woman. You just said that. So are you giving folks a menu or telling them what to do? And how are you going to 'demonstrate on camera' without turning this into something else? The United Kingdom has this FANTASTIC series called Embarrassing Bodies that I highly recommend to everyone. Each episode covers a STD, a sexual position and some really weird body issue – like the woman with two vaginas. It was informative and entertaining without dumbing down anything or making me want to watch from behind my splayed fingers. If you have teens, Embarrassing Bodies is a MUST watch. The show started in 2007 and it is way more graphic that what we see on TV here, nipples and the like are not blurred, but not in a raunchy porny way. They have a website with info (website link here) or you can watch episodes online (TV link here) if you have questions or want to have a look at all things embarrassing. The United States as a whole is behind in so many things and how the body is viewed is one of them. It fascinates me what constitutes as R rated on the screen is seen as immoral while gun violence is totally accepted. Heck, you can’t post a picture with a woman breastfeeding. That will shut your page down. But folks shooting up children in schools have not changed gun laws – Sorry, not going there. I suck at being on a soapbox. I don’t really have enough facts and I get too emotional and just start saying “Well, you’re stupid.” over and over. The fact that I'm amused by the Craigslist ad and then saying the USA is too prude, well, that just makes my sucking at soapboxes point. Anyway, folks who are interested in the video project, here's the link. I'm not posting the happy ending link. You want to help Mr. Country Music Star out, you find it yourself. While Husband was interested in the ad oddities, he protested my definition of research and shut me down. Actually what he did is to say, “Go ahead and look!” That no one cared or would know if I was on the Internet. But that’s just because he wants me to fail. At day six, I’m already three days past his no food fast. His accomplishment has already been buried in pizza and burgers. I’m the only winner right now and that is what this is all about, winning the war of willpower over Husband. And mentally healthy brain, of course. But really mostly winning over husband. Our marriage is healthy like that.
