@steve19 … Thank you Steve, hope you have a good, safe day too. Yes Pen is joining us for the drinks tonight and I dont know how that will go, because as usual after a drink or 2 she gets a bit “cock-happy”, but I am trying to save myself for her… so for those 2 reasons I want us both to be a bit horny for when we get home … xx

Good luck to everybody over there . Over here it has mostly been the fires in California and snow all the way into Florida , and the other Gulf Coast states . My friend in California sent me photos of his location . No fires real close to him , but the smoke from far away fired got delivered by the Santa Ana winds . He is on oxygen and the particulate count was so high , even with his O2 assistance his O2 readings were extremely low . My neighbor’s house is finally getting repaired from our bomb cyclone in November . I am curious how many of you had a power bank or generator ? Younger people near me seem to not be prepared for power outages from storms , or have alternate heating like wood stoves .

Yeah generators aren’t really a thing in the U.K. in homes, a lot of our power lines are underground so not at the whim of weather, fires etc and we don’t get major earthquakes.
We rarely get power cuts, but if we do, they last maybe an hour, unless it’s a very unusual weather event. So battery powered lights are used, and a lot of homes have gas hobs and gas fires, so we can manage.

Hi @Oldman We don’t have a generator and most folk in the uk will not have one either. We are lucky we have a log burner so can at least stay warm.

This is where my work concentrates its focus nowadays in Scotland.
Using the cars ev battery in vehicle to grid connections and the house battery powered by overnight low tariffs, solar panels and either heat pumps or inferred heating. I’ve been able to make homes on and off grid as they wish to be. Which means some of my clients were able to get through the storm without any loss of comfort and could live like so for about 5-7 days.
Meanwhile my house is fine but my family have been without power for days.

Replying here @Analizer so as not to derail the original topic.
To me, the difference is that the topic you mentioned is open to all to reply to. If it was ‘Men, why are you afraid of sex toys?’ It would likely be picked up as gender biased, but as it is, it’s not.
We’re all human and far from perfect, so stuff does get missed but hopefully that explains it a bit 
PSA - this is just my personal view on it

Much of our residential power lines are underground , it is the main high voltage transmission line on towers or poles . In much of the country there are trees , trees and more trees . Then there are the mountain ranges . The variances in terrain and weather are across the board . Also the distance many power lines cover can be staggering . UK has a land mass of 94,058 and the US 3,531,905 square miles . Variety causes many design and maintenance issues . During our last power outage several neighbors with EVs had to leave them parked , lucky for both they also had ICE vehicles . California has many fires caused by the very people who are claiming to protect planet earth . The bankrupt power company has been spending billions trying to meet the state’s mandate for renewable energy , at the cost of replacing power lines that may be up to 100 years old . The same groups stopped the state from clearing underbrush and removing dead trees . The topper was to let a high percentage of the water in the north to run into the ocean to protect an extinct small fish . We do not lose power too often , but I much prefer to be ready , could be my experience from my fire dept. days or when I worked on farms .

We went “out out” a couple of nights ago to watch a live local band. A very good night was had by all.
But, I noticed a lady in a black dress, with big white spots…and a black choker!!
Mrs @Wurger, you hadn’t flown over here with Pen for a quick weekend away had you, and not told us all

Mrs W here …
@Latino_Caliente … Mmmmmmmm sounds like you had a good night, hope it continued when you got home. Sadly no, it wasn’t me you saw, I was stuck all weekend in our home town. Anyway, whilst I have black dresses and black chokers, nowadays I haven’t got any spots - white or other colours … believe me, if I went to the Iberian Peninsula or nearby islands, I would be asking on here the places to go … I appreciate that you like the short tartan skirt, Thank You. It is really a little short for the office, but I do like it for the very simple reason that, together with the high heels it does give the impression that it makes my legs look longer than they actually are …

Well I bet people in the north wish they had generators after the little blow . Appears several probably wish they had a chain saw and a wood stove too . As a former rescue person I love hearing “ We don’t lose power “ . At least until it goes out . Just the cost in spoiled food can easily cover the cost of a generator .
Random thought. It’s wild out there. This forum is the safe corner of the internet for kinky people

Good morning Mrs @Wurger,
Unfortunately not, the good vibes did not get as far as the bedroom. Ours is like a desert with tumble weed blowing around…not much happening!
If ever you were to visit our neck of the woods, I’m sure you would get many suggestions. I know a couple of people on here that like to come and stay.
I think @batjamboree is due out soon?
I like pleated skirts in general. They hang and move differently to a plain one as well as show off a bit more leg! 
Going off at a tangent for a sec…
Ever since your first post about the chance meeting with Pen after the office drink some months ago, I am pleased for you how your life is going currently.
With Mr W working away as he does, you have a companion and are not alone. I’m sure the nights were lonely before?
I’m sure that Mr W will be happier in that respect.
Just my thoughts 
Mrs W here …
Oh dear @Latino_Caliente … I am sorry your return home following your evening out was not better … Ah yes, rest assured that when we can holiday out that way we will be requesting the places to go (or the opposite) … I have always liked the effects of the pleated skirts I have (I think they make a “hip-sway” a bit more apparent) …. I am sure they are the same on all, but I think carrying a few extra ounces (as I do) accentuates those effects … Oh yes before Pen arrived, I was a bit lonely when Mr W went away mainly because we had not started like that, he was always here, but in his case work dictated lifestyle … unless one decides to change work, it’s all just a balance really and whether it ever reaches the tipping point. The evenings were lonely because I think I have explained before, the toys definitely carry out their function, they are not like a real-life hot-blooded person and do not do the little extras like a cuddle, go and get a drink and other little “extras” that we all like …
Thank you Kind Sir @steve19 for your kind words that are very much appreciated xx … Oh yes Steve, the birds were singing away as I walked to the station and to the office – I know its gonna get worse again, but this morning was a welcome portent of Spring, and I am really looking forward to it … Ah last evening too much vino resulted us in watching a recorded tv programme, Pen loves the ghostsearchers type things … and we do get up quite early in the week …

A week today we have a boudoir photo session for my wife (72) for Valentines day.
We asked the photographer how many outfits to bring and he said “Bring everything”.
That’s a bit impractical so we had a fashion show this morning with her trying on all the various pieces of lingerie (mostly mine) that we might take in order to narrow down the choices.
She looked absolutely amazing in pretty much everything she put on and I had trouble keeping my hands off her as I was helping her dress and undress (Parkinsons) but we ended up with
Bra and knicker sets in dusty green and in cobalt blue.
Bra top and micro shorts in distressed denim
Bra, knickers, stockings and suspenders in red, white and black.
Crop tops in red, white and black.
Black leather jacket.
4" heeled black sandals.
Black studded boots.
Whip (to go with the black outfit and leather jacket).
By the time we’ve mixed and matched we should have enough combinations.
Hopefully I’ll be able to post a couple of the better images on the forum.
