Stinging 4 – Healing
Sep04
Of course I had to try to make a buttsex joke romantic. Who do you think I am? I mean, really.
My entire body is made of pain as I type this. Like most weekends, I found my peace over the holiday by getting dirty, covered in paint, and sunburned. And I’m still keeping up on my workout and diet.
If only I could be in my 20s again. Youth wasted on the young, as it were. Never should have let myself get this fat. Each half pound that peels off requires hours of work. Ugh. But I keep sloggin’ along. Have ditched the arm and chest cable machines for free weights, finally.
Getting older sucks.
BUT I WILL PREVAIL.
Getting older sucks, but it beats the alternative.
Says you, youngster.
I’m in my 50’s. Aches and pains all over. I’ll still take it over getting hit & killed by a drunk driver at age 19 like one of my classmates.
Wait till you’re in you 70’s! It still beats the alternative, but getting up in the morning IS an experience!
My mother is 86. She talks about how she is ready to go, wishes she just wouldn’t wake up one day, and would end it herself if she had the courage. My father at 90 talked much the same way—except it was his religious faith that kept him from the “final exit”. Whether it beats the alternative is apparently a very individual thing.
An older man in a pub once told me he wished he could be 22 again, knowing what he knew then. I asked him whether, if he was 22 again and knew what he knew, he’d want to live to see 62. He said: “No.”
Yes, you will.
I was hurt (badly) in a car accident back in 2008. The weight packs on quickly, and it sneaks up on you. All of a sudden you go from being on your feet all day every day, hiking on weekends, hauling heavy things around like they’re nothing to … nothing. And it’s hard to get it through your skull that you need a decreased caloric intake to match that immobility. You’re HUNGRY. Your stomach is used to ‘x’ amount of food.
Cutting it short, I’ve lost almost 80 lbs since my worst. I still can’t exercise the way I want to, or as often as I’d like, but I’m not starving myself. There’s no advertisement or endorsement for a specific food or some kitchen gadget that turns ribeye steaks into healthy juice (ugh, what? no – GRILL that thing!), just steady, slow weight loss through paying attention to what I eat and making sure I get some exercise somewhere along the way.
At least I’m not in a wheelchair anymore. That sucked.
Since when is buttsex NOT romantic?
When diarrhea is involved?
There is likely a website for that.
No doubt ( I ain’t gonna look ). But while it might be sexy to some, “romantic” is something else altogether. 🙂
GAH! Finally get to see her face, and now i have to wait until tomorrow?!?!
…you are a sick, sick man, and I have no patience.
You’re going to HATE me.
If Mick does anything besides hold her tighter after seeing her scars, I will lose all respect for the boy. Personally I think it would be funniest if she swept her hair back, and she has a tiny scar or an un-noticable glass eye, and the entire “need for covered-face” thing was all in her head the whole time.
Never really thought about this until now, but doesn’t keeping half your face covered all the time basically ruin your depth perception?
Not if you’re already missing an eye…
You’d be surprised how well you can see through hair, actually. At one point, I wore my hair somewhat similar to Alex’s, and depth perception wasn’t really impacted. You do lose some fine resolution from that eye, but for depth perception you need shape and color more than anything else. I never tried it with blue hair, but with both blond and black it worked just fine.
I’m with goober on this one, though; the evidence we have thus far strongly suggests Alex is missing an eye.
Actually;

Looks like she is trying to line up with her right eye and Alex mentions her rival in Best Shooter has ‘a good right eye’ suggesting her right is damaged rather than gone.
Good catch. I’d remembered the Best Shooter line (which I interpreted as meaning she has a glass eye or no eye) but had forgotten the Adversity comic, which is pretty unequivocal – she definitely has an eye there.
Sounds like a good weekend. 🙂
Like the video.
Anal is not sexy. I love the comic and it is funny and usually sweet, but please no butts. My reason for not liking anal are explained quite nicely here. http://www.leasticoulddo.com/comic/20130102/
And some people love it. I’ve known more than one woman where that was their favored method.
When it comes to anal, my point of view is nicely explained here:

But Owen is correct; some people love it, so to each their own – just so long as both partners are onboard with it.
It’s weird to look back at old QC strips. The art changed so much over the years that the characters are at most barely recognisable. Faye, in particular, has changed shape a lot. In the old strips, everyone is somewhere safely beyond the nucanny valley in the direction of stickman country, and we readers get to adjust for that and imagine the person who would be drawn so in that style. Then we get to see Faye in the new style and she’s put on a lot of weight.
It’s also, from what I’ve read, a favored method among some girls and women who are trying to remain “technically virgins”, are “saving themselves for marriage”, or who lack access to reliable birth control but are nonetheless trying to avoid getting pregnant. See this Garfunkel and Oates video poking fun at the practice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygam6uXgI-w
Not that i’ve tried it but aren’t you supposed to clean the receiving party’s insides out a bit?
Don’t tell me what to do.
You’re not my real mom.
This comic will go to a whole new level if it turns out she’s a cyborg.
