There's lots I like, including plenty of the 'big' names. But just to throw a bit of a wrench/spanner into the works, how about some very early stuff? skin_tint turned me on to a Couperin piece that I've been listening to a lot, Lecon de tenebres (missing three accents, sorry). Or some 20th C works? maybe Steve Reich's Tehilim?

There's a load of great stuff waiting to be listened to...

Hmmmmmm.

Breakfast #1: in bed, coffee with lots of cream and sugar, a big bowl of cut up melon, and buttery toast or crumpets, toasted with a bit of crunch around the edges...

Breakfast #2: pancakes, soft, light scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, sausages, lots of syrup, lots more coffee (no sugar this time...)

Snacks: lots of bite-sized baked things, like cookies, but not too sweet; potato chips/crisps; peanut M&Ms; reese's; pretzels

Lunch: several bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches on white toast with very light mayonnaise and slices of avocado.

Snacks: see above.

Donuts: yes, they are a separate meal. don't be so difficult. custard creams.

Snacks: more of the same.

Dinner #1: a few dry salami sandwiches with shredded lettuce and oil and vinegar on poppy seed rolls.

Dinner #2: at a restaurant. menu chosen by my feeder date. but nothing too meaty. (Don't like the taste of meat fat, and not a fan of rare meat. It's my one big flaw as a foodee )

Home: a whole large cheesecake for dessert.

Snacks: pretzels, mostly.

Late-night snack: Fried Chicken--a breast and a few legs

Dessert in bed: a big ice-cream sundae, hand-fed to me, thank you very much

Yum. Now I want some of that for real, right this second. Grrrrr.

I'm with Angie. On both counts. Do NOT be showing me things I didn't ask to see--and trust me, I *won't* be asking to see that if you're hoping to show it to me.

And I think closet FAs are significantly to blame for a lot of the stuff that gets dumped on us. Sure we should be confident, but if the vast majority of men who think we look good can't stand to be seen in public with us, how on earth are we SUPPOSED to feel, huh?

Just sayin'.

Hi, Dave,

I lost and gained and lost again all my adult life, until mid-40s. I always had gaining fantasies, but it never occurred to me to act on them until relatively recently. But I never had an active FA or feeder to support me, so I'm sure she'll 'see the light' much more quickly than I did

E.

I'm with the scars=stories crew. I have two from surgeries--one on my back just above my ass, and one on my knee. It never really occured to me to worry about either of them, though I can certainly worry about all sorts of other things.

My guy has a small scar on his cheek where they removed a small blue mark that I loved. I miss the blue mark, and it's been gone for over 20 years, but the scar certainly doesn't bother me in the least, and it looks kinda cool.
