I had an odd dream. I don’t know why I had this dream because I didn’t see anything on TV last night, or discuss anything, that would’ve put this into my subconscious:

My world was in a post-apolcalyptic state. Government and infrastructure had broken down and there was no law. Something had happened because the negative Christians (the ones who don’t actually practice good Christianship, but use their religion as an excuse to persecute non-Christians) had whipped up so much warmongering that wars had destroyed everything.

As I was looking for shelter I thought to myself that my mom had turned out to be right — the negative Christians had won out over the real/positive Christians. I wondered to myself what the real Christians had been doing all this time and why they hadn’t organized at some point and tried to stop what was happening, or at least announce to the world that the negative activity wasn’t how a true Christian would behave.

I finally found shelter in a little church. It wasn’t in an actual church any more; the congregation had found a building they could all huddle in. They were providing what safety they could to anyone who showed up.

We were all bunched up inside this place, and one of the Christians made a smug remark to me, and I realized that he felt that the presence of this sanctuary proved that indeed, the paranoid Christians had been right all along about the world, and that this little haven proved that all of us could indeed only count on or trust Christians, and no one else. I realized that he believed that starting the wars had been justified, because of his prejudicial beliefs, and even now with everything ruined, his world view was unchanged, and he believed the warmongering had been the correct path to take.

I wanted to point out the flaw in that logic, but as I needed somewhere safe to sleep, I couldn’t say anything. I had to just sit there and not reply.

What a strange dream. It work me up early, too. I’d wanted to sleep in today. Oh well!

To quote Arte Johnson…”very interesting.” It’s scary that your dream is within the realm of possibility.

Sounds like the plot of a good sci-fi novel. Good as in “plausible.”

With all the terrible real world events we see on the news every day, it’s bound to trickle into the subconscious world eventually. Keep the faith, busy lady.

It does sound as if your dream is rooted in your concerns for the world now.

I had an unusual dream today that actually had me sleeping longer because I wanted it to play to the end. Unfortunately, the alarm clock eventually won out even though it was late. The bad thing is that, in my rush to get to work, I didn’t have much time to dwell on it and it’s all but forgotten now. When I saw your blog topic, my first thought was wondering if the dreams were related. I don’t get more than a handful of memorable dreams in any year, so it was interesting that we both had one on the same night. My dream was completely different than yours based on what I remembered.

Concerns about religion are not new. Here are some quotes from Thomas Paine in the 1700s:

“Persecution is not an original feature in any religion; but it is always the strongly marked feature of all religions established by law. Take away the law-establishment, and every religion re-assumes its original benignity.”– Thomas Paine, The Rights of Man, 1791

“All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.” — Thomas Paine, (1737-1809), The Age of Reason, pt. 1, “The Author’s Profession of Faith” (1794), quoted from The Columbia Dictionary of Quotations

I thought that this dream that you wrote down was very interesting and sadly enough there are enough ignorant people out there to claim to be Christian. I have hope for the future and that everything will be fine. Then again, well, that’s hoping.

Very intersting indeed. As a Positive Christian 1st I’ll say maybe God is trying to tell you something, then 2nd I’ll say maybe God is trying to tell me something. I’m not gonna preach or anything but I find your dream eye opening because I do believe that the Christians that have real relationships with Christ are not doing enough to get the true message of the Gospels out to the world.

I’m gonna pray on that. Very good dream.

God Speed, the Night Angel.

I’ve noticed that there’s a point where a person begins to lose their youthful flexibility. I’ve also noticed that the cases I hear about where models got shoulder/arm nerve damage, were not usually models in their 20s. From my observations, somewhere between mid 30s and mid 40s, a person’s body begins to lose flexibility. Riggers have to be sensitive to this and not “crank” a lady’s elbows together behind her back. Just because I’ve seen photos online that show that a model was able to get her elbows together easily a few years ago, isn’t a reason for me to assume it’s still doable for her now.

Anyway I noticed I began to stiffen up some years ago, so to work with that, I don’t do long-term elbow bondage any more. For instance during sex, Jon generally adds the elbow-rope last.

For some reason, though, lately I’ve been a bit more flexible than usual, so that’s given us some fun. Last time we were in bed, Jon did a lotus-hogtie with elbow bondage on me, used the vibrator on me, had sex with me (that takes a little doing with the hogtie), and then used the vibrator on me again afterward. I was really surprised and happy.

And he didn’t even have to “crank” my elbows - they went together pretty easily all on their own

At age 52 I’m certainly not as flexible as I was and it’s almost impossible for me to get my elbows together behind my back (though in part this is due to injury). But a buckled harness tightened patiently a notch over time can add to the fun and teasing and achieve the desired effect

Lotus hogtie during sex, but you’re not as flexible anymore, color me confused. I’m continually impressed with your abilities, regardless of age (then again I’m a year or two behind you and I have arthritis, it sucks)

You think that`s bad?, take a look at my profile photos. I can`t even get my elbows anywhere near each other never mind touching which i would love to achieve.

Whatever`s making you more flexible at the moment shouldn`t be pondered, just enjoyed

[this entry includes comments that were received on MySpace]

Each night I have a dream where my dog Alex is in danger or in an accident. One night I dreamt I was at an intersection with Buddy & Indie, but Alex was across the street on another curb, in danger of being run over. I left the 2 dogs and ran across to get Alex. When I got there, all that was left was her walkies bag.

Last night I dreamt that I was in an industrial building with the 3 dogs. Indie was playing with a ball and she bounced it down an open elevator shaft. The two shorthairs knew not to follow but to my horror Alex leapt down the shaft. I could hear her cries and knew she was probably utterly broken and dying. I leaped down the shaft to try to find her.

When I’m having these dreams I believe she’s still alive, then I wake up all freaked out and realize she’s not in danger, she’s already died.

Over the past few days, at the conscious level, I’ve felt worst about Buddy, because he only made it one year with us. He deserved longer. And we thought we would get to have more time with him.

At the subconscious level, though, I guess I miss Alex in a more critical way.

For 8 years Alex was always in the room with me. I took her to work, I took her home, she was always right there in the same room with me. She was as everpresent as my own hands. I just feel so strange to not have her here. It’s like a piece of me is missing.

I’m trying to focus my attention on poor Indie and give her love. After all, she’s traumatized and doesn’t know where her dog friends went. But she’s not Alex so it’s just not the same.

I feel for you. You probably feel deep down inside that you hadn’t done enough for Buddy or Alex but I am sure everyone agrees you did all you could and gave both of them a happier and longer life than they probably were going to anywhere else.

You are probably still in the greiveing period but who knows maybe Alex and Buddy are trying to tell you to let them go and get some new friends for Indie.

Remember you did all you could and more for them and even though some people wouldn’t understand all of us animal lovers do and think that Alex and Buddy thanked you in their own special ways for all you did for them.

Sweety, i wish there were words to convey how sorry i am for your loss, but there never will are. I’m an animal person, i’ve had just about every pet available and some that aren’t, around at one point or another, but when you bond with one and lose him, it’s like losing a limb, the phantom limb syndrome. You feel it, but it’s not there.

Right now your mind is just showing you how you feel deep down, like you didn’t do enough or you couldn’t do enough, but you know what, you did. You need to remember that, and share your love with Indie, who needs you now. No, it’s not the same, it’ll never be the same, but it might be just as good given time. Always remember you loved Alex and Alex loved you, and you shared a special bond that’s irreplacable. Eventually the hurt and feelings of guilt will lessen, but it’s going to take time. Know that there are people out here who care and who you can vent to when things get rough, i’m one of them. Be well.

He may have had “only” one year, but it was a year where he very likely was happier than he had been his entire life. It made all the previous years of suffering and unhappiness fade into less significance.

It was a good thing you did for Buddy. I’m a believer that the happiness you bring in such a fashion will be returned to you tenfold.

I’m very sorry to hear that you lost two of your darling pups with in this close time frame. We (my family and I) had to put down Ellwood our chocalate lab down on Monday I’m still going in and out of bawling my eyes out. I can’t imagine what you’re going through. I found strength in my friends, and I sure where ever the pups are not are doing what they loved to do. At the moment I just can’t deal with him being away from me. I do hope you feel better, and I send my deepest sympathies

He will always be the happy dog though as long as you can keep close to your heart.

It’s amazing what we go through to save our pets. But no matter how hard we try no matter how broke we get sometimes it seems like it’s never enough. But at least you knew it was not a everlasting relationship. My cat Fuz, you can see pictures of the cutie on my page under my photos, was the most intelligent cat on the planet, though some people would probably go “yeah right” but she was, it was just a matter of time before she figured out how to get my mothers dog in such a position to commit dog-icide on him. She was planning the “accident” out so it would have seemed. I didn’t get the chance to see her in her last months, which hurts more. I’m just glad that any suffering your pet had is now over.

A bummer day. Haven’t heard back about my merchant application. But sadder…

Alex had two scary seizures early this morning and I spent the day at the vet’s with her. It turns out her bladder cancer has metastasized and it’s now in her brain. I’d been warned that bladder cancer is ‘messy’ and tends to go all over, but I thought it would go to nearby organs. I hadn’t understood that it gets into the bloodstream and lymph system and can go anywhere next. Wish it hadn’t been the brain.

Worse than that, we got blood tests back for Buddy today… he’s been really up and down lately… and it turns out he has liver failure and will only be with us a short, sad while longer. I wish we could’ve had Buddy in our lives much longer than this, but at least for a few months back there, he was feeling good enough to do the “Buddy Dance” for us. I hope these final days won’t be too terrible for him.

Hey all, sorry I haven’t been at MySpace in a long time… we’ve been trying to deal with the bank problems. I don’t have time today to catch up (Buddy the dog is vomiting blood so I’m taking him to the vet in a bit). Just to keep folks abreast I’ll copy/paste here what I announced in the Yahoo Group a few days ago.

“BB leaps into the void”

Well, as of today I don’t have a merchant account at all.

On the bright side, this means I can put ALL of BedroomBondage.com back up. Yay!!

On the down side, if I don’t find a new merchant account by the 30th (with which to renew most of my members) BB will tank.

Hope to see you all back at BedroomBondage tonight, to enjoy its restoration to its former self. At least no matter what’s gonna happen, first we’re gonna have two weeks of unbridled fun!

We’re back, we’re tired, we’re “coming down”… and now it’s dawned on us that the trip didn’t really come through for us this time.

Generally, the annual bondage convention is our one chance each year to try to get away from regular stresses and be a little romantic and re-connect with each other. Somehow this year it didn’t happen; we socialized the whole time, were rarely alone, no romantic dinner occurred, and we didn’t even get any windows of time to have sex!

So I’m vowing right now, to make sure that next year we make time for a little romance.

We did have some fun on the trip. The best part for me was seeing Kiri Kelly after all these years. We’ve kept in touch with emails and phone calls, but seeing her in person and getting to play with the ropes together was absolutely wonderful.

I also shot two sets with attending models, and tied up Pandora during the Friday night party in our room. She must feel really used by me — every time I see her, all I want to do is truss her up

On Saturday night we tried to go to one of those after-hour parties at a local nightclub. As usual the music was so loud, no one could have a conversation. I’ve wondered if this is a “guy thing” — that guys put the music that loud so that a man & woman talking have to get within one inch of each other to hear. Because I got the distinct sense that the guys were enjoying that requirement, but the women were annoyed by it. How fun to have to be brushing breasts up against some guy I’ve just met so that I can hear wtf he’s trying to tell me. Yuck. LOL

I guess another source of downer right now is that I’m having trouble getting the two sick dogs to eat. It’s really no big deal if a dog wants to eat light or skip a meal once in a while. But in the case of a sick dog, where you mix all sorts of important, expensive medications into the dog’s food and then they don’t eat it… Man!

For anyone who’s curious about my bank situation, my site is still operating at half-mast, and apparently it’ll take another two weeks to process my application for the overseas merchant account. In the meantime I can’t link my site to anybody else’s site, and I have to keep adding “consent bondage” photosets for the updates. I’m getting verrry, verrry bored of consent bondage. I’m still a ‘captive’ at heart.

Okay back to the grind, I have several dozen emails here that I gotta research and answer. Grumble grumble grumble… lol

Ah Kiri Kelly, that takes me back. The mischievious girl next door in my mind’s eye. So the trip wasn’t entirely wasted, although I am curious how you managed to smuggle your *gear* to the location via airplane past airport scanners and security without incident (aside from the security’s obtuse interest in flash bulbs) As to the music, it might be a guy thing but it’s not THIS guy’s thing. I can’t stand totally loud club music that you can hear the person next to you. Ridiculous.

Consent bondage ? Grinning faces behind gags and all that goofy stuff? Not a hint of distress ?? ‘Feh !!

The airlines don’t seem to care what’s in checked baggage. We’ve always checked our load of lights, tripods, camera accessories, ropes, ballgags, etc etc with no problem. Oh!

Current mood: annoyed

Since we’re psychic, once again we were traveling right in the middle of a big security freakout. Whoopee.

Very early thursday morning, we were lined up on the sidewalk and some staffer was wiping down each pocket of each suitcase with a pad before each flyer could check their bags. Some passerby wandered by our line and mentioned that we couldn’t bring drinks on the plane. Everyone on that sidewalk had had to get up and haul ass to the airport far too early to have watched any news reports, so this was handy that some dude mentioned the drink thing to those of us in line.

But of course, it wasn’t until all of us checked our baggage and went inside, that we heard any announcements about not bringing toothpaste etc on the plane. The announcements were hastily thrown together so they went on about toothpaste and creams without mentioning the more prevalent problem items such as lipstick.

So you had tens of thousands of women check all their bags at the curb over the weekend, then get inside and find out that much of the expensive makeup in their purses (dudes, makeup is EXPENSIVE) had to be tossed.

No-brainer: how about a sign on the sidewalk telling women to quickly switch their lipstick/makeup from their purses to the suitcase they’re about to check? How about using the sidewalk PA system?

I thought to myself “Well, it’s just the first day and they’re disorganized. By the end of the day they’ll realize how ridiculous it is that they’re having to confiscate & dispose of all this stuff indoors when they could just get it taken care of out on the sidewalk.”

But no-o-o-o. On Sunday when we came back, the airports were STILL letting everyone check bags on the sidewalk with no signs, no lists & no announcements — so that once they got indoors with their purses, they would have no options when staffers started taking their fluids, creams and pastes.

You may think we should’ve all known exactly what things must be checked, but the lists weren’t obvious, and a lot of people (like ourselves) were at events all weekend and still might not have seen the airline news before flying on Sunday.

One little kid getting on our flight got her playdoh confiscated.

Sunday we had a fun time. 5 staffers peered at Jon’s bag on the xray screen, arguing amongst themselves. A fellow wearing latex gloves pulled us aside and he went through Jon’s bag. As he was opening it he said something to Jon to the effect of “So what are you, some sort of photographer?” To which we both said we were. The guy carefully opened both bulb boxes and gingerly pulled out each light bulb. “We don’t see these very much” he said. I’m sure Jon was thinking the same thing I was. (”What, you’ve never seen a little glass thing with a filament inside it? It’s called a light bulb.”) Then the guy went apopleptic over a small jar of hummus. He didn’t know what hummus was and was all freaked out about the jar. We pointed out that the airline had sold it to us on the previous flight. He didn’t seem to understand. I pointed out that we bought it as part of a snack pack — and he had, just now, taken the jar out of the snack pack (which was a clearly marked box).

So we said, “Look, we didn’t eat the hummus at the time because we didn’t particularly like it. Why don’t you just throw it away so we can move on.” He said no, now he had to check with a supervisor. He had difficulty getting one but finally a supervisor came over, looked at the jar of hummus and gave it thumbs down — and they threw it away without further inspection. Just like we had suggested in the first place. Duh.

Sunday night when we returned to our starting place and were leaving the airport, they STILL were not utilizing sidewalk signs or the sidewalk PA to tell people what objects to switch from carryon to checked baggage. I don’t know why the airports are so stupid. The activity inside would all go much faster if they would inform people sufficiently to have everything taken care of on the sidewalk first. Again, duh!

Alright, I’m done venting! lol

Some folks may have noticed that BedroomBondage is no longer linking to this blog! Nor linking to my bondage forum. Nor linking to my yahoo group. “Hey,” the astute observer says, “Bedroom Bondage isn’t linked to anywhere! And most of the public webpages are missing! Hmm!”

My ex-merchant bank made an offer I couldn’t refuse. They said if I cleaned up my site to their satisfaction, they would take me (& my poor innocent-bystander husband) off the Fraud list, and start rebilling my members again.

This is fairly agonizing for me, but at the moment, I don’t have a choice. They won’t take me off the List unless I come back to them, and my site has to be super-duper-clean for them to reactivate my account. Not only do I need to be off that list, but so does my partner.

I’m boned. (nod to Bender of Futurama)

So, I’ve already “cleaned up” the public area of the site, and by Sunday night, the member area will be partially expurgated as well. On Monday the bank will be calling to see if I’ve performed to their liking.

Once my record is cleared, I’m still gonna search overseas for some other bank. I want my real website back! Waaaaah!

I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had to do this to keep your site open. I hope you find a more viable billing company because this doesn’t come across as the kind of bank that you want to continue doing business with.

What can the average person do to fight the growing censorship that we’re under? Sadly, it’s a topic that doesn’t interest the media. The things that are happening are barely being noted. The end result is that more people are debating whether Britney is a good mom than issues like this.

We can write out Senate and Congress representatives, but that’s something few people ever do even when they’re upset over the state of the country. Jay Leno’s monologues, when the FBI unveiled they were going after porn, were probably more effective than what most of us can accomplish. Other talk shows were afraid to touch the issue.

It looks as if HR 4472 is going to become law.

This is a bill which has riders attached to it that have nothing to do with child protection. One of the more ridiculous provisions requires new, unreasonable paperwork requirements for tracking every single image on adult websites. When the attorney general told law enforcement agencies, that one of his high priority tasks would be to enforce these new provisions and perform audits of adult producers, these agencies balked. They would have to divert resources, from units needed to go after sexual predators of children, to check paperwork of adult producers to see if they had IDs (mostly driver’s licenses) of all the models/performers they worked with. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that the kind of criminals, sexually exploiting children, aren’t checking to see if the kids they’re abusing have driver’s licenses. It’s not as if most of our politicians are geniuses.

Bugger all,

‘Tis a long dark day indeed when the merchants can tell their customers how to behave and not the other way around. Sorry to hear about all this trouble, Lorelei.

Dear Lorelei, I’m very sorry to hear that the “thought police” have hassled you again. I get a similar problem in Memphis: the schmucks have decided they can tell adults what to look at or read. I sincerely hope you find a MUCH better merchant bank. Regards and Respect, Chuck Foley.

You can sure say that again, it is getting to be that we no longer have any rights, and please don’t take this the wrong way, but we have to get Bush and that crowd out of Washington DC and put a better person in who will stand up for all of our rights.

Fuck ‘em. Do what you have to do in the short run, but don’t sacrifice what you really want to be.

Mad respect for looking out for your husband in the deal. You’re a stand up person.

Now straighten this out so we can all prove stand up people that are into kinky shit can win too.

Yours in the fight…

I thought the USA was supposed to be the land of the free. What the hell is happening when bankers become the watchdog of morality? What training do they undertake in ethics and morality that allows them to make judgements about what intelligent thinking humnan beings should or should not see?
This situation strikes me as a very slippery, and very dangerous, slope and a futher erosion of personal freedoms.
Oh well take your cash to Europe and deny these wankers (oops sorry, bankers) the use of your money.
