Master's fishing buddy is on vacation again this week. So that means lots of fishing and suppers at the cabin with our friends and their horrid children. i love our friends, they are great fun and i have a wonderful time with both of them. i just wish i dealt better with their kids. i don't have children so it's very hard to for me to judge a good parent from a bad parent. i was intensely involved in raising my niece and nephew however. While my sister wasn't an "all star" parent, she was consistent and i remember almost no back talk and disobedience. It could have been because they were raised the old fashioned way, with their mom, grandma and aunt all involved in their upbringing. They had many adults watching them and when i look back on it, a really well rounded support system. They knew who to go to for what, they knew what they could and couldn't get away with and when things went south for them, they knew we would all be there for them, to hold them and make things better.
These children are altogether different. They have terribly smart mouths and the middle child is the most defiant thing i've ever seen. Her mother can "forbid" her from doing a particular activity and she'll press on even further. In a word, they are bad. i won't blame it all on the kids though, the mom and dad are lazy and more often than not, they take the easy way out and look the other way. This drives Master and i crazy. We don't want to see them abuse their kids in any way, we just want them to make them mind, and if it means a swat on the bottom to get their attention, then so be it. When i was helping raise my sister's kids, we never hit them, not once, we didn't need to. They knew how far they could go and the rules were clear. In a nutshell, this makes my time down at the cabin, stressful. i am in no position to correct these kids and it would be inappropriate for Master or i to say anything to them. When i see them doing something that might potentially harm them or someone else, then i say something, but that's the only time.
Master told me yesterday that i've said so many times that i need friends and i need to have things to do, so when it's time to go to the cabin, i need to suck it up and just go and have fun. While i do that, i go when it's time, i don't actively seek out spending time down there when Master is fishing because it's just too much. It takes soooo much energy for me to be around those kids, i'm wiped out by the time we come home. These vacation weeks are just about enough to drive me into the ground. i'm used to spending one night a week with them and on vacation weeks we are there 4 or 5 nights. All i can hope for is that the 4th of July activities wear the kids out some and they are in bed at a decent time.
my sister called this morning to say that some time in the last month or so, my grandma had a "silent heart attack". The doctor and my sister both agreed they wouldn't tell her, it would only make her very nervous and no good would come of it at all. Grandma can be confused at times and get things a little mixed up, but for the most part, she's still all there and she would do nothing but worry herself into the ground. The doctor said that she'll have another heart attack, at some point and most likely that would be "it" for her. We're celebrating her 100th birthday in a couple weeks and i'm afraid that will be the very last time i see her. But you never know, she might be around for a while yet. She's a major pain in the rump but she's my grandma and i love her dearly. It will be hard for me when she goes, she was so important to me when i was young. Going to grandma and grandpa's house was a safe haven for me. Those are the very best childhood memories i have.
Speaking of her 100th birthday, i believe i'm going to the party with a friend. Master isn't the least bit interested in seeing my sister and my whole family will be there. i would like to spend a little time with them so i'm going with my oldest friend. i haven't driven that far in a very long time, but i won't be alone and i'm sure we'll do just fine. Just thinking about it reminds me that i'll need to look up some directions just to see how far it is.
Master and i have been plugging away at our projects and they are all slow going. Not much will get done this week with the holiday, but there's not a deadline or a rush on anything. The only thing that "needs" to be done is the kitchen faucet. It's gone from a drip to a steady stream. i need to get the cupboard under the sink cleaned out so Master and practice his contortions and install a new faucet. That having been said, nothing is getting done with me sitting at this evil machine wasting my life away!
Peace to you and yours,

On Being A "Professional" Master/slave
We've never, ever wanted to be mistaken for any of the countless people who claim to be a Master or slave when in reality, they just pretend for money. There's potentially a fine line in other folks' perception, and I've gone to considerable effort to never cross that line. My treasure writes here because she enjoys it, she loves to get and reply to comments and she also does it because I require it. In the beginning, it was a blog, nothing more, nothing less. In the last few years, it has become not only a blog, but also a hub for all of our online activity. Some of that activity is done simply for fun, some of it is to feed some sort of narcissistic need for kudos that I still deny having, and some of it is done to try to supplement our income by sharing our real life with others who might be willing to toss a few bucks our way for a small window into our normal activities. Normal for us but mere fantasies to them, things that they can't get at home or simply things that get their blood flowing south. Like most people, we started out never showing our faces, never being specific about where we live, blah blah blah. One day, I decided that I was tired of acting like I was ashamed of Myself or My girl, just so someone I knew wouldn't find a photo that would make them all butt hurt because of their own insecurities and closed-mindedness. In a very short time, we had started making videos and posting non-anonymous pictures all over the place. Eventually, My girl started doing live cam sessions for cash and it's become a multifaceted "business". That's why we're making this page. I didn't want it on the front page of the blog because this is still her blog, and always will be, but we wanted to add a page for some of the money-making things that we do.
About two years ago, we decided to test the waters with Kindle publishing. For a nominal fee of 99 cents a month, you can get this blog automatically delivered to your Kindle. Unfortunately, this makes it less likely for My girl to get the comments that she so loves, so if you decide to go the Kindle route, please come back here later to leave that comment you were thinking about!
Lately, we've had gentlemen ask if it was possible to buy My treasure's worn stockings. If worn stockings is what you seek, then we are happy to oblige. We've charged very reasonable amounts in the past, and that won't change. Pricing will depend entirely on quantity, color, availability, your location and any other variables or requests. We get her stockings from Europe, and we only order a few times a year, so we may have limited color options at any given time. If you're interested in My girl's worn stockings, or any other requests for that matter, please email her directly at precioustreasure_md@yahoo.com. We've done custom videos and would also be happy to do custom photosets. If it turns you on, and you think we can provide it, please don't hesitate to ask.
About 2 and a half years ago, we also decided to start making videos for sale. We've had a banner on the front page, but we've never really promoted it at all. Well, I'm not really going to promote it too much here either, but if you'd like to check out our clips, you can find them here. You can also find some of them here.
My treasure has also started working as a cam girl on ImLive. There's a banner on the front for this as well, but you can also click here or on the banner below to find her over there or schedule a meeting with her.
Banners here also!
Hi!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you'd be willing to do me a favor.
I'm asking everyone who has my blog linked on their blog to help me get the word out about my Blogathon for Charity efforts. All I'm asking is a post or two written about it, or crossposting my original Blogathon post a couple of times before the day of the event on July 28th. It doesn't have to be long, just a "Hey check out what luna's doing for charity!" is okay.
I would be honored if you would consider pledging as well, if you have the change to spare. You can read about my upcoming 24 hour blogging for charity on this post: http://www.the-iron-gate.com/blog/2007/07/05/blogathon-2007/
I also have a few pages on my blog talking about my chosen charity and how to sponsor me.
Thank you so much in advance!
