The Culture that has been here all the time

Call all people,

My life is so exciting I can't take the thrill of watching an avocado ripen.

Yes, Friends, Acquaintances and Strangers,

As a caregiver and having been retired for a while now, one day is like any other, and if it were not for the change in the Seasons and the moon's cycle, I wouldn't notice the differences.

To All,

My German comrades, whom I served with in a NATO air defense unit, would say on this day, "Happy Father's Day, and if you are not a father, this is the day you will get your chance." 

So, may I bring that custom to you? Please pass it on in the spirit of the day. Jim

Hey youze guyze,

I was once a wild and crazy guy had many friends and parties and jammed with my band and everybody was a gud guy to me, Now I are a boring chump who is more  likely to offend than please. Que Sera Sera as they say in Brooklyn.

Blog Readers, A rapid Google survey,

Back in the neolithic days, hair would protect the skin from cuts, grazes, and the Sun kept the body warm, and even worked well as camouflage. Through the years, as humans, we have developed through evolution, and our hair waned in texture, thickness and colour, and there are a number of possible reasons for this.

Why did humans keep pubic hair?
The skin in the area around the genitals is very sensitive. Pubic hair can naturally reduce friction associated with the movements during sexual intercourse and other activities wherein chafing may occur. Pubic hair can also help stop bacteria and other microorganisms from entering the body.

Why do humans have armpit hair?
It reduces friction

What happens if you never shave your pubic hair as a female?
The benefits of not shaving pubic hair are avoiding irritation, cuts, and ingrowns—when you don't shave, you won't get irritated. If you don't shave your pubic hair, nothing happens, but it's important to keep it clean with a daily genital-friendly wash and exfoliant to keep odor at bay.

Roman Empire

Wealthy women and men used razors made from flints, tweezers, creams, and stones to remove excess hair. In fact, even pubic hair was considered uncivilized which is why many famous statues and paintings of Grecian women are depicted hairless.

The Greeks and Egyptians idealized hairless bodies. Shaving and depilation techniques were commonly used. Greek sculptures depict men and women without body hair. This was generally felt to be a result of common infestations of body hair with parasites and the sense that a body without hair was cleaner.

So modern trends aren't that new after all.

Hey all,

Do you believe it is possible to forget how to make love if one abstains for a very long time?

It may be a while before I have that opportunity.

Hello,

I am back in the old life as my new life wakes me up early. My primary function is to be a caregiver and run our home. I feed the family (wife, me, and pets), keep everyone warm or cool, and keep them dry. I also do yard work, laundry, cleaning, and, most of all, pay the bills. It isn't fun, but it is rewarding to see things return to a coherent and predictable pattern.

The mole I had removed on Monday was benign (negative for cancer cells). But I suppose having a dermatologist now for annual check-ups is a good thing as I get older. There are more doctors to see than family or friends.

Caregiving leaves little time for a garden, but I have some plants scattered about. (tomatoes, green pepper, and flowers). I erected a fence around part of the backyard so the dogs can get out, and I need not leave my wife alone.

She will sit with me in the afternoon when I put on an old movie to take a break. She is in bed before 8 p.m., and I try to get to watch a British TV program or two before I turn in by 10 p.m. I have herbal tea, a small Potpourri of mugwort, and some melatonin to encourage dreams.

Having sex, let alone kinky things, is perhaps for another time. I suppose I will blog when I think of something to write about (most posts are quicker, and I can squeeze them into a day). JIm

Hello Aquaintences,

Some people keep telling me I have friends, but I know I do not.  My only choice is going it alone (as my wife is barely what she once was). I have an active mind and a living libido, but I now understand that some people, like true Monks and Hermits, have learned how to cope with isolation and the lack of intimacy. I can, too. I shall understand what I, need, to achieve peace in my solo adventure called existence.

Hello Friends,

Many of you probably wonder about my sanity. My emotional state tosses me between being a 24/7 caregiver without respite for years and being governed by loneliness and melancholy. There are two behaviors I recognize as forms of escape and addictions. I have been winning the war with alcohol now for more than a decade and the conflict with smoking cigarettes for four decades, But I still recognize I am susceptible to compulsive addictive behavior. What are they who have run with me and disguised themselves so well these days? Online texting and giving strangers money to encourage them to continue to text me and help dispel my loneliness. Yes, loneliness and missing a sexual partner collaborated to keep me distracted from myself and my finances.

There are many addictions people struggle with, and most cause harm in a period of abuse. But these addictions harmed me immediately, and I fooled myself into believing it was for my good to keep doing it. I want to claim I learned my lesson now and will take steps to make the necessary change. Yes, that is my intention: break the bad habits and realize I no longer can afford to throw money out to achieve the negative result rather than the necessary positive outcome I genuinely need.

First, I need to stop wasting time texting, which leads to more texting, and second, I need to gain control over my now battered financial perspective.

I will continue to care for my wife and myself and restrict my spending to what is related only to those goals. Jim

Friends, I believe I need most to go to a mountain peak and spend time with a wise guru. I have so much to learn.
