Lavender and Chamomile
Lavender and chamomile are truly two relaxing scents. I placed a bottle of both oils combined by my computer and along with my various teas, I have a quite and calm place to read the news and check in on the world. I would say to anyone, 'try the scents of lavender and chamomile' and you can feel the stresses melting away. As for your choice of tea I leave that you.

Real Age
I took one of those online 'test' yesterday ... yeah I know, but it was fun.
This one took your chronological age and calculated your "Real Age" using health and lifestyle as a means of analysis.
Using a whole lot of different aspects of my health and lifestyle it said while my 'calendar' age is 56.6 years my "real" age is 38.3 years.
Wow, damn near twenty years younger! I can live with that.
You know there might be something to that old adage "You're only as young as you feel" after all?!

Met a fellow naturist on the internet today.
We were chatting about many things and come to find out he has almost the identical educational background.
As you may have guessed he is Norwegian since I am using the Norwegian language in this post.
It is truly amazing that two men from two different countries have virtually the same interests and education.
Enjoyed chatting with you today, Arial.

Make your plans to be in Edinburgh, Scotland as the Tartan banners fly in the wind for the first time en masse in over two hundred years.
When the Tartans flew the English quivered with fright
struck dumb with fear at the sight.
They trembled at the Flower of Alba's might
for the wrongs they would put to right!

Dental Cleaning
Spent some time in the Dentist's chair today getting the pearlies all to gleaming.
I forget how much I dislike the Dentist's office between visits.
No cavities ... that is good.
New dental hygienist even better.
Actually, she isn't 'new' to me as she is the daughter of a friend who paid her way through school to this point working as a stripper and is going to work at the Dentist's office and at her old job to pay for Dental School.
Always a feisty one she greeted me with a hug and a slap on the behind (slightly non-professional for the Dentist's office, but well within norms for her other job). We talked about her as a teenager ... at least until she went to work on my mouth then she did most of the talking ... and how she was amazed she made it through them. Tell you the truth so am I.
Now she is doing well for herself and even has a girlfriend and a boyfriend ... not bad for the girl they used to tease because she was a rail and had tons of hair - she literally looked like a mop. She lied about her age when she was sixteen and began stripping to prove to all she was a girl not a "mop". And she was quite the 'novelty' at it too until she turned twenty then she as if by magic went poof and there was a drop dead gorgeous hottie standing before your eyes where a second ago was the "mop".(and no drugs or surgery did the job it was good ol'Ma Nature, what worked her magic). She then was even more popular with the club crowd.
At twenty-two she is way ahead of her teasers who she hasn't seen since high school (she even avoided some of the "guys" dancing at the clubs which is odd considering how many of them I saw going into the one she worked at - I can only guess they didn't recognize her nude, which wouldn't surprise me as they only 'saw' her as a "mop" when she was clothed anyway).
She promised to bring her girlfriend and boyfriend over to see us and to swim in our pool - remember I know her - just like she did growing up. She said she wasn't going to tell them they had to swim nude, she was just going to strip and dive in then point to the "Nude Swimming Mandatory" sign and laugh.
Better get the grill fired up because they are coming to dinner tomorrow.

Rabbit Day
There are some pretty odd celebrations and holidays out there. Some are downright wacky. Some I don't have a clue as to what they are about, such as "Rabbit Day" (which is today). Just what is it and why is it celebrated?
I mean doesn't everyone love a cute little bunny everyday?!

Night Funny
What is the difference between a wife and a girlfriend?
About 45 pounds!
(Written on the wall of the third stall in the Ladies room at the truck stop in Winnsboro, SC ... at least the Mrs. says it is!)

Nude Pastor
Someone asked the question, "Can a naturist be hired as a Pastor for a church?".
Simply put, Yes. Now before getting one's dander up, think about it. Many clergy are naturists just as many non-clergy are. (And the numbers would surprise you.)
Some let it be known, some do not.
Some don't care if it is known they are naturists, some do, just like non-clergy.
See the theme here?
It doesn't matter if a Pastor is a naturist or not, if they are the right person for the church in question.
But the Prunella Prudes and Pearcey Prigsniffs of the world make a big "issue" of such non-consequential things as this and therefore all suffer for it.
As an ordained minister, I find this insecurity on the part of the Prunellas and Pearceys of the world sad.
As a naturist, I find them - more so their words and actions - reprehensible.

Skinny Dipping Poll
The results of the Skinny Dipping poll are in and 100% of those responding said they have been skinny dipping.
Granted the poll had a low number of respondents, so the results are skewed a bit.
But I would have thought some would have answered the other two options, alas no.
I will run a similar poll in the future as the readership of this Blog (and hopefully her sister Blogs), increases so the poll will be more reflective of the true status of the idea of skinny dipping has in the general population.
While I would like to believe 100% is truly reflective and as such we have reached -Utopia, Nirvana, Shangri La, Paradise, Eden, Shambala, etc. (name your desired place) - in society, something tells me that we are not quite there just yet.

The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge known to Law, and particularly to deny him judgment of his peers, is the highest degree of odious and it is the foundation of all Totalitarian government whether NAZI or Communist.

The same words could be spoken today as they are as true today as they were nearly 64 years ago. All that is required is to replace NAZI with NEO-CON to make the statement 'up to the moment'.

Dubious Honor
The Philadelphia Phillies have the distinct yet dubious honor of being the first inductee into the 10,000 Losses Club having lost their 10,000th game this past Sunday.
It only took them 125 years to do it, but they did it!
Baseball will never be the same.
U.S. Censors "Teenie Weenie"
When German children's book author Rotraut Susanne Berner received a call from her American agent saying her latest in the international awarding "Wimmelbucher" series was to be published in the states she was elated.
But she quickly lost her "high" when her agent told her there had to be some changes for it to be published in America ... it had already been published in 13 countries around the world unchanged.
So what was the reason for the changes?
Well it seems her hand drawn illustrations of both children and adults in an art museum looking at the art - which included a nude of a woman - was unacceptable for American audiences. See the illustration below to see what had the American Censors so up in arms about.
Now that is horrid, horrid I tell you!
But what was the "real" kicker was this illustration of a women viewing a small statue of a man and if you look extremely close you can see a pimple sized bulge that is his penis showing.

Obscure Holidays and Celebrations
Today is
"National Get Out of the Doghouse Day".
"National Get Out of the Doghouse Day".
That means, Ladies you have to forget and forgive any transgressions that many have placed the men in your lives in the doghouse and let them out of it.

Seamus and Angus
As promised here is a story about my Black Labs Seamus "Thunder" Mac Lesh and Angus Mac Dougall. Two of the biggest hounds you'll ever run across because they are loved, well fed and exercised all the time. Both are over 100 pounds of solid canine sinew (Labs usually run about 65 pounds), and both are positive they are lap dogs, if not human - and I tell you when they both insist on sitting on your lap they are quite a load! They both are lovers and very friendly as well - charging up to every one they see to jump up and kiss them - though the sight of either one charging up to you is disconcerting to say the least - for the first time.
"Thunder" is the elder and he has taught Angus well and they don't meet anyone they don't like (at least as of now). However, a few years back before Angus' arrival, "Thunder" had a serious dislike for an old Harridan that lived next to us (she disliked nudity so much she tried to get the local government to require clothes for animals), but with her epiphany and conversion to being a nudist he now loves her almost as much as he loves me and the Mrs.
But, now the story:
We live in a rural area close to a large city and one night what little nighttime "light" we had from the few street lights and backyard pole lights were out due to downed power lines from the just passed whopper of a thunderstorm and the normal bright moon and star lit night sky was jet black covered with clouds. Perfect conditions for the thieves that had been targeting the area stealing lawn mowers, power tools, etc., for a few weeks, and they were out doing their thing.
The cops had a tip and were out as well but were having no luck in locating them. They would have been able to slip away unscathed, except ...
They met Seamus and Angus in the pitch black as they attempted to conduct their business at our home. Now those two loving dogs made Cujo look like the most loving canine there ever was that night and "escorted" the thieves to the police and their welcoming arms, where they turned into the most adorable "puppies" in the world playing with the cops, yelping with glee and getting their heads scratched behind the ears.
Which astonished the thieves who swore to the officers that all the heard was a low rumbling growl from two hellbeasts and all the saw was two sets of glowing red eyes and glistening white teeth and no 'body' surrounding them - like it really was two beasts from hell appearing as disembodied shadow and horror that though formless could rend your body and soul to shreds, as they ran screaming into the cops' arms (with a few stolen items that they hadn't dropped still in their hands) ... and all three had damp spots marking their pants fore and aft as well.
Seamus and Angus are now "honorary" policemen and have each received a medal and commendation for their work that night and are just, if not more so, as loving as before.
And those thieves must have talked to others of their ilk in the jail because we haven't had any act of lawlessness around the neighborhood since that night.
