Here's an interesting anecdote that i've just read:
The wife asks her husband to go to the store and pick up brand "A" of a product and he comes home with a different, generic brand. The husband has a clear history of being very frugal and the wife clearly asked for a specific brand. The wife sees this product in the grocery sack, asks no questions, takes the product out of the bag and throws it at the husband, it breaks open and is ruined. She doesn't ask if her brand was unavailable, she doesn't ask any questions at all, this is her first and only reaction.
Here is what makes this even worse to me. The comments she gets back from readers are all in support of her. "Oh gee I can really feel for you, it must have been the hormones." or "aww that's the worst" ( or something similar to that.. ??? huh???) i am not going through menopause yet so i can not speak to the effects that hormones have on your body, i know they ravage you, i do. But when do the excuses end and where do we except responsibility for our actions?
i've said lots of times that i'm not judgmental, so here is what i'll say to that. Everyone has a bad day. i am not judging the woman for getting upset. The trouble i have here is that we allow people an escape route for nearly everything. Lets say a friend of ours messes up don't we have a responsibility to them as true friend to call them on it? We're not judge and jury to all we meet but if they come to us and ask us what we think i believe we should tell them the truth, the same with blogging. People put their dirty laundry out here for comments, they want direction and comments, it shouldn't all be rose petals and cake. There should be some truth offered.
IE: "Hey DUI's aren't that bad, don't worry about it!" or "Leaving the burner on the stove isn't too bad, at least the house didn't burn down."
A bit extreme i know but what good are we doing each other by continuously looking the other way? i guess what i'm saying is being the best friend isn't always the one with the best news. It's the friend who cares the most to say what needs to be said.

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!
I think you raise a good point. If we took individual stock into how we personally contribute (or not) to a situation, things would probably be solved a whole lot faster!
ReplyDelete:) I agree on most everything. I don't want to judge everyone... okay maybe a little :P But I think we all give each other and ourselves easy outs. I know I try to use excuses myself and when I catch it, I hate myself for it. There may be reasons why we do things but we should never use them as excuses for lack of manners or courtesy with others.
ReplyDeleteThe good news, My girl, is that if it's the "hormones" that made you act like a psychotic bitch (coughbullshitcough), they'll be right there with you gagged, hooded and cuffed while you sit in the box for hours after you yelled and wasted something that I bought for you. When you get out of the box, those hormones will be there getting their ass whipped right along with you and those hormones will be right there with you as you spend the rest of the night in bed, hooded and bound, reflecting on your actions.
ReplyDeleteWell yes, there is that. And I would think to prove quite effective in curtailing that behavior.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you completely. I was actually shocked when I read the beginning of the post and it mentioned her not saying anything and just throwing the item at her husband.
ReplyDelete"Hormones" to me, is just an excuse. You're right - maybe she just had a bad day, but to me, there's never a good excuse for (non-consensual) violence.
