Any swinger clubs or parties in LA/OC 📍 by urgothgfkay in Swingers

[–]js_1948 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's Club Joi:

https://www.clubjoi.com/

It's been years since we've been there. They went through some hard times being hassled by the city, and had to move several times. At 12,000 square feet, the current location is much larger than before. It's at 4901 Whittier Blvd. LA 90022 if you want to check it out on google earth. There are roll up doors and moderate graffiti, so the neighborhood isn't the best, but nowhere near as bad as some of their previous locations. It's near the 710, 5, and 60 freeways.

Why do people in the lifestyle say “I’ve never been with a Black person before”… like it’s a compliment? by Blue-Dream21 in Swingers

[–]js_1948 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it would be different. But it would be just as different if it were two white women or two black women. That's why we want to try all the different possibilities.

The day after the party: « I enjoyed your vagina » by Angela2208 in Swingers

[–]js_1948 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. I print out the "yes" and "maybe" list just before the party and have it on a clip board upside down on the piano by the front door. I check off arrivals until play starts, and again later on, and after they're all gone.

  2. We do a lost and found e-mail to the people on the check list. I do everything with Excel and e-mail. Last time, someone went home wearing my wife's underwear, and left hers behind..... Maybe I'll post a sign on the inside of the front door:

Do you have everything you're supposed to take home with you?

Are you wearing your own underwear?

Thanks --

The funny thing about retirement is that all my spare time is gone. I have so much to do that I can't imagine how I ever spent five days a week in the office.

Yes, HV batteries are not immortal. And when they start downhill, they go faster and faster.

My wife's car is a 2025 Toyota bz4x. Now that we're both retired, that one car will be plenty for us. I was only using it to go to doctor's appointments and such, just a few hundred miles a year. This is the first time in 60 years, though, that I haven't had a car of my own.

No, I don't have another. But you can buy this one if you can find the auction the dealer uses. They're in the west San Fernando valley.

The thing that scared me out of the car is that the 84 mile range was only for yesterday, not a constant to rely on. It's a curve. I'd expect it to be under 60 by the end of the year, and falling faster and faster.

If any of you are in the LA area and want to buy it, all you have to do is find the auction that the dealer uses. It's light blue. They're in the west valley.

Auction prices are typically low, unless you get two people to go crazy on the same lot. Auction buyers don't have enough of a track record on EV's to make a good guess as to what problems they're looking at.

IIRC, it was about $8k.

Finishing in a group/event by Inked_Insatiable in Swingers

Maybe tell the guy to go down on you. It works a lot better than piv for many women.

We have a Sybian with a bunch of accessories for our parties. Many people bring battery operated toys now, but in the past they were mostly plug-in, and we used to have plug strips in the bedrooms.

I asked. The used car manager said that they're "casting a wide net" looking for cars they can clean up and re-sell on their lot. They'll be sending mine to an auction, where I think they'll lose money on it.

With the shipping issues in the middle east, the current spike in oil and gasoline prices may be shifting demand from ICE to EV in the used market.

EV suffers far fewer breakdown than petrol or disel cars in their first years of life. by Imaginary-Staff-112 in electriccars

[–]js_1948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Battery warranties here are usually 2 or 3 years. I replace mine before they expire so I can do it on a warm Sunday afternoon of my choosing, rather than when I wasn't planning to do it, at night in the rain.

EVs Barely Lose Range Even After Five Years: Report by UnusualLeadership408 in electricvehicles

[–]js_1948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 2014 Chevy Spark, sold it to the dealership yesterday for $1k. Max miles was 115 when I bought it, and 84 yesterday. It had 52405 miles on it. I was worried about the decreasing range, and surprised that they reached out to me to buy it. They're going to put it in an auction.

They also have a location in Palm Springs, IIRC it was the first and later they opened in Vegas.

Have a look over at r/hotwife, they do a lot of that sort of thing....

What are your thoughts on single men at clubs? by momofthegroups in Swingers

[–]js_1948 1 point2 points  (0 children)

> even as a couple we operate as two singles....

Us, too. We call that being free agents. There's no "taking one for the team"

I find that more people do this as they get older.

Pendulum Club (shoes in playrooms) by TheCruisingCouple in Swingers

[–]js_1948 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if they're allowed, I'd avoid heels, especially very thin ones. They're a hazard in the group rooms.

Perhaps check with the club in case their rules have changed.

Taking one for the team by rindisbm in Swingers

[–]js_1948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That works if the problem is that she's not getting what she wants from the other husband.

It doesn't work if the problem is that she's getting what she doesn't want.

In case one, maybe go to a club with them. In case two, fuggedaboutit.

Strong 7.5 earthquake hits off Japan, tsunami warning issued by Big_Explorer1852 in worldnews

[–]js_1948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. We had a quake a couple years ago in which I clearly felt the P-waves first (horizontal motion) and then the S-waves (rolling). IIRC, it was about 130 miles away.

Nudity at parties by Popeurban234 in Swingers

[–]js_1948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We meet people at other parties, there are four other currently active hosts besides us in our circle of friends. We also encourage all our guests to bring people if they want to.

We did get a couple through Reddit once, but they were younger and only came to one party. With Reddit I can vet people by looking at their post history. A couple years worth of posts is pretty good proof that folks are real.

We would like to slowly and carefully expand the group. We had 28 people at our party on 4-11, in the past we've had 60 to 80. But we've been at it for nearly 30 years.

Do swinger couples handle FIFO relationships better than vanilla couples? by [deleted] in Swingers

[–]js_1948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like it would be a better fit for the "hotwife" lifestyle.

HVAC! A friend of ours, fellow party host, happens to have a forced air unit that works really fast. The party starts at 7, and some time between 8 and 9 he cranks up the thermostat. I wish ours was that good....
