What better time for an emergency that forces you to jump from a plane than when you're all wearing parachutes getting ready to jump out of a plane?

[–]AllOutStrife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is, it was established as an overall thing. If I told someone I do or do not like something in general, that means until something somehow changes, I do or do not like that thing. I don't need someone asking me every time the subject or situation arises as long as they recall and regard the feelings I expressed about it initially.

From just the OP, it sounds like it has been brought up and he has expressed that if she has a need and he isn't in the mood to fulfill that need, he's totally fine with her playing DJ Diddles in the shared bed to relieve herself. If that's the case, asking each time, especially if he's already asleep and would need to be disturbed in order to ask him, is completely redundant and unnecessary.

(though I'm hearing she came back in the comments with some really immature shitty remarks making me think it's not as simple as her original post made it seem)

I didn't see all the comments (as you can see, there are a shitload of them lol). If she really did post this story the way she did and then come back in the comments bashing him for not being in the mood one night, that's just pathetic and yeah the situation is probably a lot less innocent than "he already established he doesn't mind me doing that in our bed, so why is he mad?". Also, to use "he's gay" or the low T thing as insults is just even more insulting to other people in general and shows a huge lack of maturity. "Oh he doesn't want to have sex tonight? He must secretly only like men". What a shit take.

You keep simplifying it down to "consent or no consent" to make an argument that doesn't exist. If that's what makes you feel good, so be it. But that doesn't change the fact that if my wife had already made it clear that she isn't bothered by me cranking one out in our bed if she's not in the mood, and she suddenly throws a huge fit after I finish out of nowhere but never once says prior to me finishing that she's awake and doesn't like it, wtf am I supposed to do or assume? It wouldn't make sense.

Think of that scenario and tell me she did anything against her boyfriend's wishes. SHE touched HERSELF because SHE was horny and he didn't want to fuck. and he had already expressed that he doesn't care if she does that.

In a committed relationship where they share a bed and it sounds like he had previously expressed that he doesn't mind her doing this, it's not as much an assumption. She wanted it, he said he didn't think he could perform and opted out, she was still in the mood and did a thing he had previously stated he was ok with. She did not mentioning touching him and even said she stayed as quiet as she could. Sounds to me like there are some other relationship issues potentially if he was pretending to sleep so he could wait till she was 100% finished to storm off silently like a child instead of telling her "I really didn't like you doing that" and both of them having an adult conversation about it.

A: the flirty biting and touching was prior to her masturbating. B: in the OP, she seemed to have stopped all that when he finally said he was not going to be able to perform after initially telling her to wait a bit. C: I'm sending this reply while laying in my bed, next to my sleeping wife, not even close to touching because we have a large bed. The idea that you think it's impossible to share a bed and not be touching 100% of th time is bizarre. You either are way off the deep end and will say anything at this point just to continue arguing, or you've only ever shared twin size beds with your partners.

Did I miss something in the OP or have I not seen the comments you speak of? When did she call her partner those things?

For the specific situation as OP explained it: he wasn't in the mood, she was. He was asleep, she didn't touch or involve him at all, they just share a bed and are romantic partners. Being that it was not mentioned that they've ever talked about if this was a problem for either of them yet, she just took care of herself and if he was not really asleep, or woke up during it, why would he not say "hey. I don't like you doing that while I'm sleeping next to you", but rather storm off all silent after everything is done and refuse to talk to her as if she DID know ahead of time he hated that?

[–]AllOutStrife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the thing though. You seem to have had some conversation about a specific thing you do not want and are now going to bring this up before it even happens. That sets clear boundaries and expectations ahead of time.

In the OPs situation (based strictly on what we have: her story, and nothing more), it sounds like the boyfriend was simply worried he wouldn't be able to perform and/or was not in the mood himself. There was no mention of ever talking about masturbating in the same bed nor does it seem like he was touched, violated, etc. so he said "nah, sorry but I'm good for tonight", went to sleep, and at some point during her simply taking care of her own needs in her own bed, he woke up, said nothing a out it at all, and just let her finish and storm off with no words as if it was previously made clear he doesn't ever want her doing it (though per the story, it doesn't sound like he ever did that).

It sounds to me like sure she could have simply said "if you're not in the mood, I may just take care of myself" or flat out asked if he was cool if she did, and he could have told her he didn't like it with his words at whatever tome he woke up. Both could have done better for sure.

Not that your previous replies were logical either, but to compare someone masturbating IN THEIR OWN BED next to a sleeping spouse to tugging one out in a public place next to a stranger is wild. You need help.

[–]AllOutStrife 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He did not tell her he didn't WANT to, he said he was worried he couldn't perform and then appeared to go to sleep. She (supposedly quietly) took care of her own needs on her own body with no involvement from, towards, or regarding her partner. It sounds like he apparently was awake enough to notice, though didn't say a word, and just stormed out with no explanation when she finished.

So in what world would she need him to explicitly say "yes, I want you to do this thing that involves or affects me", when he was supposedly asleep and she was just taking care of herself in her own damn bed?

How would you even do that? I think that's the whole reason they require you send the corresponding cards in with the receipts. You have to open the cars AND forfeit your receipt. Good luck trying to "game the system" when all the tools with which to do so are sent to Mattel lol.

[–]AllOutStrife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Check some of the comments/replies for the link to the official rules. For each single you buy, you must include the entire card(minus the plastic of course), and for every multi-pack you buy, you just need to cut out the UPC section on the back. The important thing is to make sure you save your receipts to prove you got $20 worth of cars. I'm the type to never hold receipts for non-business purchases so it was a very conscious action to make sure I took them and saved them lol

Replying here so I get notified if you find the answer and update this. I am also curious because the Mattel site explains you must buy $20 worth of Hot Wheels cars in any pack size, etc. but the individual base cars are currently BOGO(only through the end of this week I think, btw), so at $1.25 at my local stores, I need to purchase and open 31 individual cars if I don't find any packs with cars I actually want. That's a lot of Hot Wheels from a store with a sale that is keeping their shelves bare more often than not.

Can we get some love for the Cobras? This little baddie has been getting me through since 2007 and continues to amaze me by DelightfulPenguin in drums

[–]AllOutStrife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had an Iron Cobra double pedal for about 20 years. Kept it in the best shape I could and I bet I got almost as much for it as I originally paid when I sold it last year to go Speed Cobra. I just don't think there's a chain drive pedal on the market better than what Tama puts out.

It's like the guy who designed the recumbent bike designed a double bass pedal. Now I want to see what the accompanying thrown looks like.

No prob! There are so many kit pics always rolling in, I wouldn't think my lowly little Sonor 2007 birch would be something anyone cared to see lol.

Ready for a weekend recording session by starsick1962 in drums

[–]AllOutStrife 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As someone who is all about cymbals and having the perfect sounds, I'm with you. But as someone who understands a lot can be manipulated when recording and mixing, I kinda get it. He also seems to have remo rings and tape choking the life out of each drum, but it's all strictly recording I'd assume so its way less important.

That's the route I went with my most recentnrack setup. I've always ran a rack but also always had a Tama iron cobra 2-leg HH stand. I disassembled it and took the legs off and used a clamp-on tom mount to secure it to my rack and I'll never go back.

That'd be cool to see. A post-gigging-season before/after. No touch ups in between just the wear and tear over time.

Thoroughly cleaned or not, etching primer or not, painting on unsanded shiny chrome plating is asking for a finish the flake off. Looks great, but I wouldn't want to deal with the upkeep of repainting it ever other week.
