The Cheese Grates It: I.B. Ventin

I think my new pen name should be I.B. Ventin.

In any case, I.B. Ventin' now.

Truth be told, with all the fuckery with these medical conditions and medications, plus the general stress of my life, if it weren't for the fact that stopping taking the medications would leave me incapacitated rather than dead, I'd stop taking them.

I don't want to become non-functional.

I don't want to become a burden.

I'm not afraid of being dead.

There are a lot of moments when I'd welcome it. I wouldn't fight it.

Death is not the worst thing that can happen to a person.

Being unable to function is.

Fuck my lousy piece of shit endocrine system and my warped brain straight to hell.

The Cheese Grates the TMI Tuesday Challenge

This week's TMI Tuesday has some horrifying questions that I will answer truthfully and boringly. 

1. If you and your significant other played “sexual truth or dare” with other couples, would you rather watch your s.o. have sex with someone or would you prefer having sex with someone in front of your s.o.?

How about neither one would ever happen.

 2. Would you rather watch your favorite porn with your sibling or read your favorite sexy erotica out loud to your parent(s)?

I don't have any favorite porn, but my sibling and I once watched a scene from a porno on a dare. I was 18 and he was 14. We then went back to playing board games.
My father is no longer in the land of the living, and I wouldn't read anything I'd written to my mother, let alone anything sexy. She isn't terribly supportive of my creative pursuits.

 3. To get sexually aroused, would you rather watch girl on girl porn or guy on guy porn?

Actually, this one is easy. Guy on guy. However, I don't really care to watch porn at this juncture in my life.

 4. Would you rather have sex with your boss, in an office conference room or masturbate at home knowing that your neighbor is watching?

I'm not into my boss or my neighbor that way.

 5. Based on your current mood, would you rather try out new and kinky sex ideas or have romantic sex?

Romantic sex. It should be pretty obvious from my answers to the previous questions that I'm Very Vanilla.

See what you did? You shocked and appalled these poor guys with your questions.

Bonus: Would you rather have three kids and no money or no kids with three million dollars?

Three kids and no money, but only because I wouldn't want the one kid I actually do have to be gone. My other two kids would be cats.

Happy TMI Tuesday!

Why Long Work Hours Don’t Work for People or the Planet @alternet

Why Long Work Hours Don’t Work for People or the Planet @alternet: Our endless cycle of toil and consumerism increases stress and depletes the Earth's resources. It's time to consider a better way to work. In 1926, U.S. automaker Henry Ford reduced his employees’ workweek from six eight-hour days to five, with no pay cuts. It’s something workers and labour unions had been calling for, and it followed previous reductions in work schedules that had been as high as 84 to 100 hours over seven days a week.

I prefer working three twelve hour shifts to working five eight-hour shifts. I've never done well with a five-day work week.
