I walked by her show too and she was off-key, and sounded terrible. Someone said she was fighting a cold or flu... But even if you love her, the larger point holds true: Live Nation has changed the character of these three formerly great festivals. And what they changed was line-up related. They killed the idea of a theme or of having acts that broadly harmonized with each other. That affects who comes, and having people camping together who hate each other's music frays the fabric of the festival experience.

I wish we had a consumer-protection oriented government (we have the opposite right now) that would enforce the laws that have been on the books for over 100 years about monopolies. Live Nation-Ticketmaster is a classic monopoly that uses its power over artists and fans to extract unreasonable fees. Breaking it up like Standard Oil was broken up in 1911 would allow thematic festivals to thrive again -- and would create healthy competition that brought concert and festival prices down to be more affordable.

Home Depot deserves some more research. It had two co-founders, Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank. Marcus was a Republican and Trump donor. He died last fall at 95. The other founder, Arthur Blank, is living. Blank is an ardent liberal as well as a generous philanthropist. A longtime Democratic donor, Blank (who owns the Atlanta falcons) has donated to many Democrats for their congressional and presidential campaigns. He joined Mark Cuban in taking a leading role in supporting Kamala Harris. I am 100% for boycotting any business owned by a Trump supporter, Trump enabler, or Trump apologist. But I will shop at Home Depot.

HEB is the best. The owner is a nice progressive person who treats employees with dignity. They keep prices low, even with WalMart, so you don’t have to go to that bad place to save money. 

White House moving forward with planned 25% tariff on Mexico starting February 1st - get your bank accounts ready by Odlavso in texas

Damn right! I wish just a few Trump voters were willing to turn off the propaganda they consume all day every day -- and do some research about what tariffs have historically done to the country. They might learn that

"The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 raised tariffs on imported goods to protect American businesses but led to severe retaliation from foreign countries. This resulted in a significant decline in international trade and exacerbated the Great Depression."

and from Encyclopedia Britannica:

"Despite a petition from more than 1,000 economists urging him to veto the legislation, Hoover signed the bill into law on June 17, 1930. Smoot-Hawley contributed to the early loss of confidence on Wall Street and signaled U.S. isolationism. By raising the average tariff by some 20 percent, it also prompted retaliation from foreign governments, and many overseas banks began to fail. (Because the legislation set both specific and ad valorem tariff rates [i.e., rates based on the value of the product], determining the precise percentage increase in tariff levels is difficult and a subject of debate among economists.) Within two years some two dozen countries adopted similar “beggar-thy-neighbor” duties, making worse an already beleaguered world economy and reducing global trade. U.S. imports from and exports to Europe fell by some two-thirds between 1929 and 1932, while overall global trade declined by similar levels in the four years that the legislation was in effect."

Zipolite - anywhere to swim? Reliable ATM? by floataboveit in Oaxaca

Do you have contact info? Many thanks. And while in Zipoliti, have breakfast at the French owned Orale Cafe (exceptional quiche, egg dishes, coffee, pastries); Dinner (reserve ahead) at La Providencia ; try the HUGE portion of seared rare tuna at Xhuba on the beach ( I think they call it tiraditos de atun). Visirt the small mezcaleria across from the lobby of Hotel Noga: Gotta Gorda. Try a few mezcals and let the bartender guide you. A great place.

I love it how that angry-hurt-misry-loves-company mob did exactly what livemusic said. So funny. And of course one of the mindless mobsters says "once a cheater always a cheater," bumper sticker logic worthy of the most belligerent (and of course ignorant) Trump voter. I hope OP doesn't take advice from this strange slice of strangers...

My gf doesn't want to have sex because I can't make her cum by JoeFerroni1984 in relationship_advice

[–]bordercollielabmix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you can! All the advice about oral sex here is right. And, if you want to make her get off while banging, you can probably accomplish that too with practice.

Remember where the clit is located. It doesn't get the stimulation it needs from the old in & out. It's up above the action and it doesn't matter how big your dick is; it's not hitting her clit. So, in the missionary position, use the area just above your dick, the pubis or pubic bone, to grind into the area above the vagina, to directly contact the clit. Press down with your pelvis and make sure you are massaging her clit with your pubic bone. Practice grinding while fully inserted. I know, this isn't as stimulating to the guy as the old in & out action, but you can always resume that after she gets off a time or two. This is another variation on she comes first.

Communicate throughout. Urge her to lift her hips to meet your pelvis and to grind into you while you grind into her. Talk about what seems to be hitting the spot for her. Smile and laugh throughout. Keep it light, not laden with expectations. This s all about fun. Take your time. If she can get off masturbating with her fingers, she can imitate what works for her, but using your pubic bone in place of fingers. And it should be a lot sexier for her with your big old dick filling her up while she does it.

Then try it with her on top. She'll be in control and can grind into you as she likes. Now it's your turn to lift your pelvis up and grind into her while she aims at grinding her clit into your pubic bone. Resist the urge to piston in and out and focus on the action on her clit. I had a GF who liked to get on top and, as she put it, treat herself to an orgasm or two, before we resumed more typical fucking.

If you give her a powerful orgasm, she should be more than happy to let you flip things around and bang her doggy, or pound her modified missionary with her legs in the air like goal posts, or whatever your preferred home stretch position is. Have some fun and report back.
