That is cryptic, even for you....implies you know you are.  I want to put a tether on you....you disappear...and then you're here.....and then you disappear....and then you're here.....come back.

You are soooo right....that is truly a beautiful pain....and, actually, mine was one of those disgustingly simple deliveries....I raised up on my elbows and said, "That was fun, I want to do it again!"

Thank you for reading....and, yes, the sense of humor is the thing I value above all else....don't know what I'd do without it!

Some of the types of pain you have endured are absolutely unimaginable to me....and just typing clit piercing is almost too awful....my empathy is in overdrive!! Whoa!!!

Hey, thanks! Glad you liked....and, sorry about your mom's feet....but, I bet the rest of her is gorgeous.  I had to leave town unexpectedly to go take care of my dysfunctional uncle who had a heart attack...none of his kids will deal with him.  Read your post about culture...you are sooooo right....need to quit getting distracted and get over there and comment...

Thanks for reading and for the compliments.  I usually post more frequently than I have...I had to leave town unexpectedly...but don't always post daily.  I have 4 blogs (plus an MA one) so if there isn't something new on this one, you might check the other 3. I'll check yours out, too. And, yes, ADD is a challenge...but, it also has a plus side...like the ability to hyper focus.

Sorry, didn't mean to hurt ya! It was painful, no doubt about it...I think because it was next to the wrist so it moved so much was the problem; I know that was why they couldn't just cast it.  But, hey! What doesn't kill us just makes us stronger! Thanks for reading.

Ugh. You lost me at the broken bone which still has me cringing and wanting to pass out.

Hi there!!
Hey there!! I know what you mean about the tooth thing. When your tooth hurts, everything hurts...I have ADD too.. i was never formerly diagnosed, but, I have a bachelor's in psychology, and my girlfriend is a licensed schoolteacher...So, we kind of figured that out early in our relationship. Your blog is very interesting and well written. I look forward to following it daily!

MY GOD WOMAN!

OUCH!  You have some impressive methods of pain tolerance.  You're laying there intellectualizing your pain by coordinating the rush with your breathing, and I'm sitting here reading thinking: "OUCH!  Mommy!"  (By the way, my mother has ugly feet.)

Great post.  Where the heck are you?

As to why people would want to experience pain during the fulfillment of pleasure has something I've never entirely understood. You unique perspective on this matter brings me a little closer to why this may be a necessary expression with some people. Much to consider here. Thanks for reading and responding to my recent post.

Hey Krisles, where are you?
Did I miss something? Did you go on a trip?

i have to say pain can to me yes be pleasureable within reason, but having felt child-birth pain and cli piercing pain i think i prefer the more settled forms of pain tho thhe odd S&M pain appears every so often but never ne thing harmful or dangerous. those dangers i am tryin to bury e.g pain of abuse. pain of attempting suicide, or the pain of the pain from the hurt and fear, funny how even if u don't want pain there it can still float around un-knowingly. xx steph xx

but you haven't lose your sense of humor.   That's a good thing!

What a wonderful compliment! Thank you so much. And, yes, I have had a very interesting life.  I think that I set out to do that...in my own lazy way!  As an only child, I spent hours in fantasy and I set out to "collect" interesting people in my life.  I am also very much an observer, and I love people, accept them.....so they tend to attach themselves to me....something it took me a long time to learn I had to be more selective about allowing to happen.

Actually, I came out of the womb mellow....my friends used to joke that they thought they should take a pulse to make sure I was alive!  Sometimes I think I attracted crazy people because I am so accepting. I was just writing to Jimson that after I wrote this post I realized I sounded like a big whiner, there are women out there who have been abused! I would never have stood for that, even a slap would have sent me out the door and  people who have to endure chronic pain like from nerve disorders and such would probably read this and laugh...but I find human behaviors (behaviours to you, I suppose!) endlessly interesting and just did some thinking outloud here....and, you're right, it's fairly hard to throw me.

You have so many people to run across yet.....miles and miles to go before you sleep.  Plus, you would be surprised what goes on if you only knew.   People tend to talk to me because I listen....and I know I don't know the half of it!! Thanks for visiting me.

Thank you!  I didn't realize until I finished that I sound like I'm whining....lots have people have sure endured a lot more...I really was just thinking about pain, and how I've gotten through it. Yes, people are amazing.

Krisles..THis was full of beautiful paragraphs...
I could feel your pain when Jim snapped your wrist accidentally. You are so right...never argue with a drunk. I enjoyed this post. It laced together several different thoughts in a really tight embroidery of life. And what a fsacinating life you've had. You're one strong woman.

Krisles...
I'm beginning to see why you're as mellow as you are.  From open-heart surgery to bad-news boyfriends to this kind of thing and lots more, it's not so easy to throw you curve-balls anymore....

all the wisconsin girls

seem to be pretty normal.  i haven't come across anything like that in all my days.  but then again, i AM only 19.  I've only had a little over 7000 days so far (today is my 7123rd, in case you were wondering) to even speak of.

I remember you sayin' that about your knee....have you looked into replacement? My mom had hers done last year and it has really helped...I'll probably get the surgery either in Oct. or after year-end.  And my legs were my best feature! They are rackin' up some major scars!! But at least I have them!!!

I'll look forward to anything you want to add.....my friend has shared quite a lot of her story...I'm sure everyone has their own.  This was an interesting "thinking outloud" exercise for me...I do that a lot!

That is a great quote...I'm a strong believer that the flipside of our greatest strength is our greatest weakness....of our greatest happiness, will be our greatest sorrow...and so on....I just think that tends to be the way life works out. Thanks for coming over...I need to come catch up with you, too!

I agree, Krisles. . ,
I've never quite understood the S & M thing, either. I guess that's what it is. Then again, I have a friend WHO has a friend WHO, for some reason or other, gets turned on when a man spits in her mouth.

I can't really fathom that either. LOL

Enjoyed your entry.

Once again, wow, Kris. Damn.
My whole body aches after reading this.

I can't imagine what all that was like.

Krisles,
My wrist hurts from reading this. Wow. I also have that bone on bone thing with one of my knees. It was ruined from dance and gymnastics. I like to gross M out sometimes cause I can simply move my foot in a certain way and make my knee make a loud popping crack noise. Oh, and I'm not really into the pain thing either. Sometimes a little variety spices things up, though, cause I do get bored quite easily.

Kris

First and foremost...I DETEST dental pain with a passion.  There aint no pleasure in a dentist chair ever....OK, except when I start messing with him and his assisstant about when the hell are they going to hook up because there is an OBVIOUS attraction and neither will give into it LOL!

Anyone who had read my first entry on my MA blog knows this is something that works for me...to be honest it will take more detail than I can put into the comments section, I will work on something for you.

It is very much a psychological thing...I ahve to be in the right "head space" even for it to work...wrong head space it don't work.

So, let me get some work done here around the house then I will work on something to hopefully give some insight or add to the confusion

Krisles--
I don't like pain...not with pleasure or any other way...although I must say I am also intrigued by those who engage in s & m, etc. I got tied to the bed once, that was as far as it went, lol.

Joy and Sorrow
The Prophet, Kalil Gibran, says Joy and Sorrow are brothers, when one is sitting at your table, the other is sleeping in your bed. Could it be the same for pleasure and pain?
