Sex hijack thread

[Mary]

We enjoy excellent health care benefits in our immediate family. Thank God.
29 years ago my husband made the decision to take a job that provided great insurance for us all. However at that time, insurance considerations were far down the list in his decision making process for taking the job.
Times have changed.
Today I advise our children to look for a job that provides adequate insurance coverage. Those jobs are increasingly hard to find and retain. In today's economy, few jobs are secure. You might have a job today that provides insurance benefits, then lose your job due to a downturn in the economy. That just happened to our former daughter in law. Happily she has been hired by a company that doesn't insist on a waiting period for pre-existing conditions. Luckily she was able to snag one of 11 positions available. There were 350 applicants.
I don't consider the other 339 applicants less deserving; they just weren't as fortunate.
It seems to me that availability of health care in America has become pretty much the luck of the draw. We have members on VR who have worked their entire lives, then lost their jobs due to health considerations, and now find themselves jumping through hoops trying to find ways to pay for their health expenses.
I truly do not mind that our taxes go to help them. I truly do not mind sending what money I can to help them. I do mind that I don't have more to offer.
I live with the constant realization that if it weren't for the grace of God that could be me, my husband, or my children in the same position. Am I the only one?

Sorry that the thread ran so long you actually got a serious response from me . . . I know better!

Why is it that insurance will pay for penile implants, but not breast implants?

Heck, not even implants - how about a nice little lift-eroo??? (Since mine have decided that my belly button needs company. Or another way to put it - my waist is now a 36D)

Since Karlynn can post one more after her last, so can I!

Maybe the "Lorena Bobbit" incident might have something to do with that?!!

My daughter has been calling me "old lady" for a long time.....hmmmm, I'm sensing a shrinking inheritance for her. Ha Ha.
Karlynn and myself and another (I forgot who) are all turning XX next month.

XX, well that's 20!!!

We have to be able to think

I tried tricking my daughter and telling her that she had the year mixed up, but no way. She is onto my tricks!
I remember turning 30 was really good.

My daughter went to the hair salon and asked for a Bob, and they cut her hair short. Maybe Lorena was just confused. His last name was Bobbit, she thought he wanted "it" bobbed?

I was going to say I wouldn't touch that question with a 10-foot pole, but I see Cooker already has answered the question brilliantly and in all seriousness.

10-foot pole? Are you sure you're not exaggerating?

 

[Cooker]

With implants I guess anything is possible ?..

I for one am a little surprised that Norma is so interested in Sex Hijacking. And tell us Norma - just what is "Sex Hijacking"?

Well this is dangerous ground but here goes.
I do believe this thread is about valve replacement because after my surgery that big increase in blood flow............well you know!!
I don't know about implants but as far as 'lifts' go, I thought that was part of my wedding vows............I promised to love, honor, and 'support' her for the rest of my life.
Whenever I offer she smacks me on the side of my head. Ladies what am I doing wrong?

As I recall, it wasn't ME who hijacked this thread! Somewhere back there, I recall reading something about a "little monkey" talking about "blowing his horn" & then it just took off from there............ring a bell??

So, me thinks this little monkey & (perhaps his accomplice.....you know "who" you are) deserve the credit!!
