Seven Years Born Again!Actually it was not being 'born again'. The implication of that representation is that you experienced it before. More representing reality; on March 1, 2003 a little before noon - I was 'Born'. It is true, like a newborn baby, I was unaware it happened at the time. Unlike a baby that moment is my life's fondest memory. That period of being unaware that something special had occurred didn't last through more than an hour of 'infancy'. After a VERY short period of time, I saw a new world that may have been there all the time, but didn't know existed. In fact, I thought it was impossible to exist. LOVE, TRUST, 'SOUL-MATE'; I laughed when anyone represented you could find anybody to personify those traits in a relationship partner. Yet, that day, I knew that somehow my 'soul' found a 'body'. Not just any 'body' but Elizabeth.she became my beth, and I became her 'Master'. Seven years ago today in the no longer there bar-room of Pea Soup Andersen in Buellton California a bouncing 320 pound couple henceforth know as 'Merc & beth' was born. Seven years old! Can it really be possible so much real time has passed since yesterday?My beth - I LOVE you more than I love life itself!'I see you!' Thank you!

~ VEGAS BABY ~It's that time of the year again. Our annual after the holidays R&R extended weekend in 'Sin City'. We'll be there January 27 - February 1. The week between the NFL Championship and the Superbowl is one of the slowest times for Vegas. It's a great time to get deals on rooms. As a result of the current state of US economics and President Obama saying that spending money on conventions was bad; Vegas is hurting. The Sahara closed two of it's hotel towers, and many hotels and casinos are doing deals to get warm bodies into town. Usually we hit the Bellagio, but this trip, we've gotten the 'Salon Suite' at Wynn's 'Encore'; 2300 square feet of party space - including an in suite 'massage room'. (I plan on using that for other things.) We can't wait! As usual if an CM people will be in town - we'd love to meet you. Don't know if we'll be going to the 'Green Door', or partying in the massage room; but we'll be partying!beth wants to hit a strip club this trip. Does anyone know of a place that it good for couples, preferably one that may allow for 'amateur' participation? beth would love to do a pole dance, or a duet lap dance. Anyone in the neighborhood and would like to join us - let us know.~ VEGAS BABY ~It's that time of the year again. Our annual after the holidays R&R extended

Profile updated today.Another year passes tomorrow. ~ 54!! FUCK! ~ I know how Mickey Mantle felt when he said; 'If I knew I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself!”. Just another day, just another number, and yet.......one day closer! I wonder how I'm 'supposed' to feel? I feel GREAT! I feel able to do anything. But as each day goes by, I wonder......will I ever need something like Viagra or is beth my forever aphrodisiac?...will I ever not want to host parties and have fun, or will I be the 'lifestyle' version of Hugh Hefner? ...will I ever feel too 'mature' to do some of the silly, childish things I enjoy doing now?...will I ever not feel like it?...will I ever not have a sexual 'perverted' thought going through my head 24/7. ...will I ever not be a sarcastic, cynical, bastard?There are so many movies made and stories written about the first time you do things. I think they've got it wrong. Sure you remember the first time for everything. You know it's the first time, and savor it, especially when it's wonderful, but even if it's bad. I think it would be more important to somehow be able to know and reflect on the LAST time you get to do something you love. I started to think about this many years ago and tried to accomplish remembering last times. I did it back in the days of performing on stage in musical plays. I would go out on stage, after the last performance, and look out into the empty theater and try to create mental picture of what it was like to stand there in front of crowd and what it felt like to entertain them. The problem is you really don't know when every important occasion is your last opportunity. For instance, I wish I could remember the last time I hit a baseball hard, or made a good play in the field when I played in college. I wish I could remember the last trip I took on my boat, or a big fish I caught on it. I wish I could remember all the last time things I wish I could remember! I know one thing - I won't have to wish for remembering beth. I plan on taking advantage of every second I have left in my life that I share with her. she's the reason memories are possible of all we have done, shared, and acquired. Another card to flip over on the calender - no big deal. I used to say that 'one day closer...' phase as positive. Not that I was trying to say I looked forward to the ultimate destiny we all share - death; but as a way to reference one less day of 'struggle' to survive in business, in society, and in life in general. Now, because of beth (that BITCH!), it's not positive at all. I regret having one less day, one last second, of life to experience with her in it. she 'made me' feel that way! GOD I HATE THAT BITCH!Profile updated today.Another year passes tomorrow. ~ 54!! FUCK! ~ I know how Mickey Mant

Merc & beth WORLD TOURHeading to Italy! Ciao! Three weeks from today we'll be landing in Italy! It's the first trip in a long time where we don't expect to meet anyone from CM or any of our other internet hangouts. Just in case, if anyone who reads this will be in the neighborhood of Naples the last week of October - we'd love to meet you! The first step in the ultimate goal of relocating to Italy on a permanent basis. A reconnaissance mission, a family reunion, a time to see what it would be like to live there; if only for a week. We'll be staying in a GREAT large rented villa overlooking the Bay of Naples and the Isle of Capri. The downside is that, due to travel issues, we won't be around for Halloween! beth is sad. Maybe there will be some kind of event in Italy where she can get into costume. If not, we'll just have to have a costume party at the house when we get back! Anyone want to come to a welcome home / Halloween Bash when we get back?Merc & beth WORLD TOURHeading to Italy! Ciao! Three weeks from today we'll be la

SF - Folsom Street FairIs finally here! Our annual trip to SF starts Thursday Sept 24th. We'll be staying in SF from from Thursday through Monday. We hope to attend a club party on Saturday in SF. The difficulty is deciding which one to go to! (Any suggestions?!) When you see us - please say hello. We're extending an invite to anyone going to the Street Fair to join us for an 'After Fair' gathering at our hotel. We've got a little kitchenette. Admission cost is an 'Adult' beverage, and/or some munchies. Also required is an open mind, and willingness to have some FUN! We've already heard from some of our friends from RL and CM who will be there. If you're going to be in the neighborhood - let us know...SF - Folsom Street FairIs finally here!

2009SF - Folsom Street FairWe are less than two months away from our annual trip to SF and the Folsom Street Fair. This is our 6th year. Each year has been more fun than the last; most likely the result of seeing old friends and adding new ones every year. We'll be staying in SF from from Thursday 9/24 through Monday 9/28. We've booked a room at a hotel inside the rope of the street fair. Its 'party central' that weekend and we hope to renew the friendships we made last year with some of the other 'regulars'. We don't have plans to attend the Folsom Fringe this year. Instead we'll be attending some club parties in SF. The difficulty is deciding which one to go to! (Any suggestions?!)More details as the date gets closer. Meanwhile...Who else is going this year?2009SF - Folsom Street FairWe are less than two months away from our annual trip to SF and the

We're HomeHow was the trip?- WOW - We had so much fun. We met a few dozen people from CM and other sites where we participate. The amazing thing when you meet someone in person who you've come to know from the message boards is that even though we've never met them, they are like old friends. And with old friends there is no need to be anything but yourself. It is so great to be in the company of people where your relationship is not perceived as perverted or weird. It's so comfortable being able to expose yourself 'naked' in public. 'Rule' showed us Amsterdam like only a native could. First the amazing indoor market and food court where you could buy fresh vegetables, meats, and cheeses and have meal prepared before you eyes. Then a walking tour and a great rural trip to see an amazing windmill where beth posed for the prerequisite 'windmill flash' picture which can be seen on another site. My friend - we hope to see you again soon! Thanks again for the book - it's a VERY interesting read. Our night at the Sherlock Homes Pub was incredible. We stayed until last call and met a dozen folks from CM. Of course another beth flash, this time she even had someone join her. Stella - We know you are now trying to do film, but someday we know you'll be debuting a stage production. When you do - we will be there; wherever and whenever it is.Steve and Maria - we hope to see you this year at Folsom! We envy your sailing voyage! Bon Voyage! We hope that Darcy & the dark are lifetime friends. They were so friendly and accommodating for us in London. We got to see places and do things that we would have never done if left on our own. We hope had as much fun as we did! PLEASE come to visit us soon and give us a chance to show you LA as you showed us London. Thanks to everyone we met for making us feel so welcome. Let's do it again soon! We're HomeHow was the trip?- WOW - We had so much fun. We met a few dozen people from CM and o

ONE WEEK to Europe! London Pub Meet Set For Friday June 12th Okay a LOT excited~! Our local LA friends have it at 'even money' that we'll make it out of Amsterdam. There's just too many ways to get 'lost' in debauchery, decadence, and excess; and forget that after only 4 days (a WEEKEND at that) we have to board a ship and move on. beth wants to hit every club in the red light district and have a 'coffee' at every 'coffee' house. I'm thinking of hiring someone to track us down on Sunday morning and stuff what's left of us into a car. While on the cruise we will be over-nighting it in Copenhagen on the ship. If anyone who reads this is in the neighborhood and wants to 'PARTY!' please contact us. On that issue thanks so much for all the suggestions we've gotten so far. We hope to meet all those who expressed an interest to do so. We have a date/time set in London:LONDON MEET: Friday June 12th at 'Sherlock Holmes Pub 20:00 (http://www.sherlockholmespub.com/)!

Okay - that didn't last long! Funny how a few people pointing things out can change your perspective. All it takes is an open mind. Not bad, but I wish the last one there would have closed it! Not going to delete this because who knows if the root cause will ever rear its ugly head again. Meanwhile, I'm glad to have an outlet to vent and indulge my sadistic urges.(Shit happens & Thanks!)Resigning from the message boards Due to increasing political and philosophical based scrutiny, insult, and censorship I (Merc) will no longer be posting to any message threads. The neo-liberals, those that speak of liberal freedoms but repress any thoughts that they can't head-bob in agreement, control the moderation and repression of words. Not an issue when both sides have the same powers, but when one can delete and the other can't, it's not only representing repression, but shows a Fascist mentality of not wanting any concept represented which could expose the hypocrisy of the regime. Although it was sadistically satisfying to receive 10 emails basically using the time tested loser disclosing debate method of juvenile name calling; it felt like I was being stalked. Who knew that posting facts, the ages of the Somali 'pirates' killed on orders by this socialist agenda Administration, would be label me a 'troll'. It takes a weak and insecure personality and philosophy to be so affected to the point of needing to attempt mocking, when confronted by nothing but the truth. I have had a wonderful time and a LOT of fun on CM. This is, by far, the greatest BDSM site for information and meeting people. I am so happy to have participated over the years. There is no way to count how many great times and great people we've come to experience based upon our time here. No other site dedicated to the 'lifestyle' I enjoy offers as much for everyone from the newest 'newbie' to the oldest 'old guard'. To be clear, I am not on 'moderation' nor have I ever been. However I will no longer waste my time looking over my shoulder when posting positions and opinions waiting to see a message when a post is not appreciated by someone holding the authority to censor. I have never tolerated name calling and juvenile tantrums. When they are directed at me in threads I address them directly. However, when they are directed at me by someone who has been granted the power to censor and delete me - it eliminates any desire to contribute. I can deal with and address those things when they are posted by people having the same authority as I do in the message boards - none. However, when it occurs and one side can censor and silence - the only action to take to avoid being frustrated is to not participate. I have chosen to take that route. I have enjoyed the debate and have learned many things both from the posts and the research I've had to do to respond to them. I'm sure I'll continue to read, but will cut off my fingers rather than type one letter of contribution. Thanks to all - especially my debating adversaries! I still believe that you learn more from a well researched contrary position than you do with someone agreeing with you. My time on the CM message boards supports that position. beth and I have met too many wonderful and great people via the profile to delete it, so it will still be active. beth may or may not post - that is her decision. she's my slave, but repressing her opinions and ability to communicate with anyone on any matter is not part of my 'mastery' over her. As always - we'll continue to respond to each and every message, so you can always contact us through this profile. We'll be at the Lair de Sade (http://lairdesade.com/), in LA this Saturday, April 18th. 'Simply Michael' will be presenting at the afternoon 'Insight' and we'll be staying for the party that evening. We're looking forward to seeing you there!Also - watch this space for details concerning our upcoming trip to Northern Europe. We'd love to host a 'munch' in both Amsterdam and London while we're there. If you're planning on being in the neighborhood during May 28-30 in Amsterdam; or June 12-17th in London, please let us know!Best regards and good luck. MercOkay - that didn't last long!

NORTHERN EUROPE AMSTERDAM& LONDON TOURMay 27 - June 12, 2009Finalized plans for this year's Europe trip. We decided to go to Northern Europe and the UK to see the lands where beth's people originated. We're heading to Amsterdam for 4 days then getting on a cruise ship in Rotterdam where for 10 days we'll be cruising to Scotland, Norway, Sweden, Poland, Denmark and Germany. At the end of the trip we're flying from Copenhagen to London and we'll be there for 4 nights. We'd LOVE to be able to go to a London lifestyle club or event. We'll be there June 12-17. We'll be in Amsterdam from May 26-30 and need to be in Rotterdam to get on the ship on the 31st. We've never been there and look forward to seeing all that available to us; however we understand that it has gotten a lot more 'vanilla' than it used to be. beth's looking forward to seeing if they'll let her sit in one of the window seats in the 'red light' district! These are all places where we either haven't been to, or haven't been to for a long time. We love to have some suggestions and 'Don't miss this while you are there...' recommendations. Of course what we'd like the most would be to meet some of the great people we've come to know from CollarMe in person. Meanwhile - who's up for a party and in the South Bay of LA? We'll be having our 2nd 'Cinema Night' combination Bon Voyage Party. The feature will be 'Rocky Horror' on the Big Screen. Character costume is REQUIRED for entry! beth's going as 'Dr. Frankenfurder'.Hit us up if you want an invite! NORTHERN EUROPE AMSTERDAM& LONDON TOURMay 27 - June 12, 2009Finalized plans for this

Six YearsToday, on March 1 six years ago in 2003, it really was the first day of the rest of OUR life. In many ways the first day of life. Without a doubt the first day of living the definition of love. Did we know it when we woke up? Absolutely not! Neither of us would even allow ourselves to believe it possible to feel what we were about to experience a few hours into the day. No, what we were was two people, secure in who we were, confident in ourselves and where we fit into our neighborhood and the world in general. Trusting ourselves, wanting to be able to trust another, but facing a common past of committing to people unworthy of trust. We weren't looking for each other; we weren't looking for anything but a good time and someone to share it. Having in common a desire for a 'lifestyle' that one had experienced and the other fantasized. Having tried and failed, bruised literally and figuratively; wearing the scars of lost battles, but never unconditionally surrendering. Happy people, who enjoyed their own company. One day you are laughing at anyone who is foolish enough to believe in; 'Love at first sight', 'the ONE', 'Soul Mate'. Then, after a glance into each others eyes and a simple hand-shake greeting, you're living it. We had no expectation; a cynical man meeting the optimistic woman just out to have a good time. Not realizing when they woke up that morning that by the time the sun went down that day neither would ever be alone again. Here's to Pea Soup Anderson in Beullton; a hand shake, a 'jack & coke', a 'scotch on the rocks'. Our thanks to all the tourists there on that perfect March 1st day, who took up all the parking spaces so we couldn't stop. To the 'lost' couple who came up the deserted road that 'nobody comes up' (per beth) who made us look for a more private place to go. To the 'Kon-Tiki Inn' who had a room that faced the ocean, that we didn't see until the next morning. To 'McClintoks' who served a great 'Santa Maria' BBQ. To the 'birth' of 'Merc & beth' - Six Years today! Six YearsToday, on March 1 six years ago in 2003, it really was the first day of the res

UPCOMING MOVIE SCREENING'The Story of 'O''While perusing vast fields of new and used audio and video media being sold at Amoeba Records in LA we stumbled across a Blu-ray version of the 'The Story of 'O''. I never notice before, but under the circumstances, shouldn't 'O' be in lower case? But that just goes to show how my mind works concerning things observed. Anyway...It's been at least 25 years since I've seen it, and I can't remember anything about it. I remember it being on the 'all night' movie list at college, along with 'Fritz the Cat', 'Reefer Madness', 'Night of the Living Dead' and 'Wizard of Oz' (No lie about that movie list!) I KNOW I fell asleep, was occupied, or involved in a my study group dedicated to my college major; 'Drugs, Alcohol, and their effects on the human body'. I think I tried to watch it in it's 'R' version on Cinemax over the years; but can't remember anything about it. Supposedly, this is the 'Director's Cut'; 'uncensored' of course, to get you to buy it. I bought it, and since it was Amoeba, the price was right. It will be interesting to see it after so long, especially on Blue Ray, played on the LCD at 1080.Saturday night, we're going to put on a screening for our little circle of friends. We'll collect the reviews and let you know. It will get '2 Thumbs Up!', if it makes anything else 'Up'. Even more, if an orgy breaks out. It's a BYOB.C.L.TB. (Bottle, Candy, Lube, & Toy-Bag). All attendees will be given a popcorn container with the bottom cut out.UPCOMING MOVIE SCREENING'The Story of 'O''While perusing vast fields of new and used audio and

2008 - A GREAT YEAR! Health - Heart - HappinessWe had it all in 2008. Sure there were some bumps along the way, but they only provided texture to the overall image of good times. The business did very well. Nothing more than a cold or two suffered between us. We traveled to the east coast to visit family. My parents completed their move to an assisted living facility less than a couple miles away and are living a 'cruise ship' life on land. Everyone came through the year well. We've added to our growing list of friends who share our lifestyle preferences. Had a FANTASTIC time in SF at Folsom; getting to party and play with many people we came to know from the internet from CM and other on-line sites. One of the true highlights was our trip to Vegas for the Steelibration. Cali, WyldHrt, Steel and his lovely andi will be lifelong friends we're sure! The Green Door is forever on our 'must go to' list for all future Vegas trips. Didn't go to clubs in LA as much as usual this year, but had enough parties at the house over the year to make up for it. Our plan for 2009 is to make it a bit more uncomfortable for our 'adult' kids to get them to want to leave in order to have them even more frequently. Our resolutions for 2009: PARTY MORE!Be Naked MORE!TRAVEL to EuropeMeet more PeopleMake more FriendsExperience MoreENJOY LIFE!Of course we'll be at Folsom in September. We've already booked our room and hope to see all our old friends and many more new ones. Here's to 2009! We hope that it exceeds everyones best expectations and your reality exceeds your fantasies! 2008 - A GREAT YEAR! Health - Heart - HappinessWe had it all in 2008. Sure there w

Saturday Night Dec 13th Lair De Sade http://lairdesade.com/ Looking for a way to unwind after a hectic Saturday of Holiday shopping - what better way to unwind than a night of debauchery at one of the best 'life-style' clubs in LA? We're looking forward to going back to our old haunt. It is our favorite S&M club in the US. The club is run by real people and draws a great crowd. Fantastic atmosphere and great equipment to use. Not a lot of the 'Stand & Model' version of S&M. We don't go to clubs as often as we used to; a function of having, and going to, private parties. Our little home playroom also contributes; sometimes when we go to pack our play-bag we get a little carried away and next think you know, we've missed the party. But this Saturday, for sure, we're heading to the Lair to join in the festivities. One of our good friends is celebrating her birthday there. There will be at least one of our CM friends from our Vegas adventure will be there. We're really looking forward to it. If you're in the neighborhood come and join us!Saturday Night Dec 13th Lair De Sade http://lairdesade.com/ Looking for a way to unw

Profile UpdateToday I updated our ages in the profile. Truth is sometimes difficult to face; but self respect and integrity require us to disclose it. The sad truth is that Yup - today I am 53! FUCK! How the hell did that happen?! I don't feel like 53. Whatever its supposed to feel like - I know I'm not feeling it! I've never been a big birthday celebration person. I point to the fact that at every birthday I can remember as a child, I was told that it was good that I got money in the envelopes so I could use it on buying Xmas presents. I remember one year in particular when I was 8 using math for the first time for practical purposes budgeting the $48 I received over the 15 people expecting to be at the 'family' gift opening festivities. My other solid birthday memory was being told that any 'big' material gift was always a combination birthday/Xmas present. I was so indoctrinated with Catholic/Italian guilt that I didn't even consider the possibility of any other birthday/holiday condition until I did a little self analysis in my 20's to try and figure out why I hated my birthday and the Xmas holidays so much. But here it is. I KNOW my father was 'old' when he was 53. 53 sounds old to say. I feel 'outside the range' of any search for a suitable Dominant partner. Luckily I have no need to be a part of any search. I have been given one present in my life that fulfills the representation of being a combination birthday, Xmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and every other gift giving holiday for all time - my beth. Fate giving me beth, and her apparent vision problem which enables her to see me as vibrant and 'young'; is the only gift I've ever needed. I need no other, today on my birthday and for all future birthday or gift giving occasions for all time.That reality is as stark and true as completing my 53rd trip around the sun. Thankfully beth makes that reality much easier to face. Profile UpdateToday I updated our ages in the profile. Truth is sometimes difficult to face; b

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETH!~ 42 ~TWICE As Sexy, HOT & Beautiful as ANY 21 Year Old It seems like we've shared a lot of birthdays however this is only the 6th that we have been together. How is it possible that you've grown more beautiful with each passing day? Only one thing grows as a similar, if not quicker pace - my LOVE for you! Enjoy the day my slave! I trust you'll have a great time at the party with all that's planned for you! Wonder if I can rent a strippers pole for another one of our special pole-dances'?Think you can handle 42 Birthday spanks from all the people attending? I can't close this update without a note or two about our VEGAS trip. FANTASTIC doesn't come close to describing how great it was. The 'STEELBILATION' exceeded any expectation. The people we met from CM were great and we expect to have them all as life-long friends. (see link http://www.collarchat.com/m_2219240/tm.htm for the details) The 'Green Door' is now on our 'must go to' list for every future trip we take to Vegas. If you can't have some FUN there - you can't have FUN.We're looking for the next opportunity to meet more of the people we've become acquainted with from CM through our profile and board posts. SouthWest Leather Conference in Phoenix in January you say!? We'll - not registered yet - but we're trying to fit it in the travel schedule. Stay tuned...Oh yeah - one more thing. Check out the costume beth made and wore for Halloween. beth was amazing and beautiful as the captured 'Bee-Queen'!HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETH!~ 42 ~TWICE As Sexy, HOT & Beautiful as ANY 21 Year Old It seems

We're looking forward to meeting all the CM folks coming to town for 'Steel's Vegas Birthday BASH!' starting of Thursday October 16th. http://www.collarchat.com/m_2090857/tm.htmDon't know if we'll be going to the 'Green Door' or Libertine, or partying in the hallways of the hotel; but we'll be partying! Anyone in the neighborhood and would like to join us - let us know.~ 25th ANNIVERSARY ~ Our Wedding Anniversary on the 17th of October! No - not 25 years - 25 months. Hopeless romantics that we are, we've been celebrating monthly. Given our ages, we'll have much more fun celebrating a 25th now than at 76 and 67. Wonder what our CM post count will be in the year 2031?~ Folsom Recap ~ Okay - Folsom and the Folsom Fringe were much too much fun and impossible to document. You definitely HAD to be there! Too many stories to tell, too many people to acknowledge we met and shared a great time. But there is one 'good' story we'd like to share... We were invited to a party at a club where Penthouse was debuting their 'lifestyle' movie. We got their early in full 'Folsom Fair' fetish attire. The place was practically empty; but - No problem we brought about 8 people and started to have some fun. beth, being beth, was out on the floor dancing up a storm. beth, being beth, includes a LOT of flesh exposure in her dancing. While coming back to the seating area, a bouncer came over and said that if she wanted to flash she had to wear black electrical tape on her nipples. Can you believe that!? Keep in mind that while the music was playing the 'lifestyle' movie was being shown all over the club on a number of huge TV screens. On screen there were not only naked female nipples, but actual naked penis. (SHOCKING!) Considering that 1/2 the men in the place were 'topless' or wearing harnesses exposing nipples without concern it was, in the very least, sexist to consider beth's pretty pink nipples obscene while men's weren't. So in lieu of covering her with black tape we left, seeking another bar. It just so happened that 1/2 block away there was another club open for business. Unlike where we came from this was PACKED with people. Getting through the door, beth asked the bouncer if he was prejudiced toward the exposure of female nipples. He answered - NO! To which beth responded by taking off her shirt completely and handing it to him as she walked in - we never saw that shirt again! That was just the beginning of a GREAT night! Anyway - that's only 1 story. Folsom is something that everyone should experience at least once in their life. Start planning for next year, Sunday September 27, 2009 - We'll be there! ~ VEGAS BABY ~We can't wait! We're looking forward to meeting all the CM folks comi

SF - Folsom Street FairOur annual trip to SF starts Thursday. We'll be staying in SF from from Thursday 9/25 through Monday 9/29. Heading to the Folsom Fringe for the day on Friday and the Friday night play party. We hope to attend a club party on Saturday in SF. The difficulty is deciding which one to go to! (Any suggestions?!)The 'Special 25th Anniversary' Edition of beth's costume is just about complete; a teasing little black & silver number. Any shoe/foot fetish fan will be very happy. Lots of silver, lots of flesh, and GREAT boots. she plans to top it off with a big helium 25th Anniversary balloon. At least that will make us easy to find. I'm going to try and track how many pictures get taken of her this year. If you see us - please say hello. We're extending an invite to anyone going to the Street Fair to join us for an 'After Fair' gathering at our hotel. We've got a little kitchenette. Admission cost is an 'Adult' beverage, and/or some munchies. Also required is an open mind, and willingness to have some FUN! We've already heard from some of our friends from RL and CM who will be there. If you're going to be in the neighborhood - let us know... SF - Folsom Street FairOur annual trip to SF starts Thursday.

Happy Anniversary!As we celebrate it - Happy 24th!Two years ago - can it be? It's been but a moment defining forever. Best friends! You were first my slave. That date will always be a personal date. September 17th is the public one; a date for everyone to see what is but the tip of the iceberg. Love, a word cheapened by common usage. The same emotion that goes into 'I love LA!' can not have the same definition of the word I use, the thoughts and emotions behind; 'I love you, beth!' I got to thinking that the concept is turned around. My feelings on the word love do not convey what I feel of you beth. More accurate is that 'beth' defines the meaning, my meaning, the thoughts and emotions I feel when using the word LOVE. I look forward to tomorrow when I'll love you more than today. THANK YOU FOR THE GIFT OF YOU! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!Happy Anniversary!As we celebrate it - Happy 24th!Two years ago - can it be? It's been but a m

We're going to the Fringe for Friday's presentations and the Friday night dungeon party; but staying in SF for Saturday night. We're looking forward to going to some of the SF clubs on Folsom Street Fair Eve . Any suggestions for parties or clubs 'not to miss' will be appreciated. beth is putting the final touches on her special 25th Anniversary Folsom Street Fair costume. Lots of silver, lots of flesh, and GREAT boots. (Pics here: http://flickr.com/photos/65654430@N00/ )she plans to top it off with a big helium 25th Anniversary balloon.

FOLSOM STREET FAIR September 28, 2008A couple of months to go, but never to early to plan. beth started on her costume yesterday. A lot of silver from the tips of her toes and her silver thigh high boots, to the top of her head. Silver because this year is the 25th anniversary of the first Street Fair.http://folsomstreetfair.org/fair-info.php Joan Rivers, yes 'the' Joan Rivers, will be performing at the 'Magnitude' event. http://folsomstreetfair.org/magnitude/ That should be WILD!!Hotel rooms in the area are at a premium. This year we're parking ourselves in the Folsom neighborhood from Friday through Monday 1/2 block from the entrance. We're hoping to hit some of the local SF parties and 'press the flesh' during leather week. We'll be at the Fringe on Saturday for the presentations and Saturday night party. Hope to see some old friends from CM and make some new ones. Please let us know if you're planning on attending.

Night 91/2 of 101/2Well, the last night! Considering she's flying from JFK into LAX on a Friday night, I don't expect an on time arrival. However, I'll remain positive and count on that about 23 hours from now beth will be back in my arms. I think it's amazing that after all this time, the only problem we have is having to be apart. While keeping busy I found our wedding program. The vows I wrote and said to you that day are more true than ever. Remember....?
Beth, I am a bridge that seen much water pass below, sometimes coming very close to being washed away in the torrents. I thank my parents for providing a strong foundation of beliefs that supported me and allowed me to survive. I wish I had the spring and summer of my life to offer you, but hope you will accept what remains of a brisk and vibrant autumn and a refreshing crisp winter. Until we met I used the word love, spoke of love, represented love; but the image of love was a fleeting specter. Now when I use the word love, or speak of love, or joy, or happiness, or contentment; your image forms in my mind.
You came to me in a lonely time. When we met you filled the vacuum of emotions that was my life. You warped and changed the pace of time. In my heart and soul we’ve always been together, I’ve always known you, always loved you. In your company time passes too quickly, when we must be apart it moves at a glacier pace.
Until there was you, I never believed in the legend of a “soul-mate”. Experiences had my faith tested in the very belief of a human soul. You have enough belief for both of us. Your faith, your love of God, the selfless giving of yourself to everyone you touch inspires me and gives me too a reason to believe, and a reason to be grateful and give thanks.
It doesn’t matter what may come from this day forward. I promise to always be as I stand before you today; a man with faults and failings but confident that I will always be true to my commitment to our relationship, true to ‘us’. I will be unwavering and resolute in my focus on achieving our goal and fulfilling our common desires. The bond we have between us will not be broken and no distraction will stand in the way of my obligation to our relationship.
I love you! I want to spend the rest of my life with you, grateful for the opportunity to know true love. You are my greatest love, my last love. I pledge that you will never doubt my love. On this special day before our family and friends I vow that I will always be there to guard, cherish, and protect you all the days of my life.Night 91/2 of 101/2Well, the last night!

Night 8 of 101/2Are you the type who puts off knowing something that you have to know, but have no control over? I am. I knew that beth was coming home on Friday, but I held off knowing the exact time. Why bother, there was nothing I could do about it. Well today I looked and her flight isn't scheduled to arrive until 10:40pm. Ergo, I added another 1/2 day to the countdown. Another hope against hope is that she'll be able to sleep on the flight. No way - beth's not a good flier. My guess is we'll get back to the house about midnight and crash. Wish I could say there was nothing going on this weekend, but its my son's birthday on Saturday followed by my mother's 84th birthday on Tuesday. Saturday, we've already got a birthday bash planned. Sunday I'll have to sponsor some sort of birthday gathering with a bunch of people; even though I'd much rather just be alone with beth. Ah, but it will be MUCH better than it is now! she'll be here! I can see her. I can touch her! Life will be good again!Night 8 of 101/2Are you the type who puts off knowing something that you have to know, bu

Night 7 of 10I'm always incredibly amazed at the male of the species. It's a wonder any of us ever get laid. Actually I think that if not for the female sex drive being feed by a genetic design to procreate, the world would be populated by lesbians. Either that, or 'mercy fucks' are much more prevalent that I ever could imagine. I've always advised any female friend to remember this basic fundamental fact - 'Men are slime!' This is more a statement of fact versus self loathing. It is only recently and having beth fulfill 100% of my needs, wants, and fantasies; that my personal sliminess has been reduced. Mind you, reduced and NOT eliminated. Much of my sadistic amusement comes at the expense of men attempting to contact beth to woo her away. The 'nice' ones asking me for permission to use her in some capacity. It is the primary reason I enjoy showing off her body so much. While she has been gone, I have been amusing myself by expanding and posting some of our pictures on a website called 'Flickr'. (Interested? Go here:http://www.flickr.com/search/people/?q=Merc_n_beth )Not having an outlet for my sadistic nature in town, and bored of the CM message board redundancy, I wanted to see what would happen if I put some pictures of beth out there. What fun it has been! All kinds of requests have been generated. Granted most are very nice and flattering. I've also made quite a few new contacts who may become friends. However, based upon many of the comments and emails I've recieved from the flickr account, there are even more 'missunderstood men' married to 'friged wifes' on Flickr than there are on CM! All think I should toss them beth's keys for a quick 'spin around the block'. Sure buddy - no problem! I think that site helps sell a LOT of hand lotion! There's a bunch of one-handed-web-surfers with blank profiles looking for new targets to point their 'tribute'. Does encouraging and humiliating them count as 'cyber sex'? But it really points to what's happening late at night when the wife is asleep and the husband still has some 'work to do' on the computer. I'd bet that beth has generated a gallon of that handy 'work' based upon the 13,000 views our pictures have generated in the past week. 'Work' that could have, and would have, been better used to satisfy the woman living in the same house. How sad... That said, on behalf of all men I want to say THANKS! to all the woman of the world, especially those providing 'mercy fucks'.Night 7 of 10I'm always incredibly amazed at the male of the species.

Night 6 of 10Over the hump and past the weekend. Glad to have a busy early part of the week; business meetings Tuesday and Wednesday. There are also some social things to attend Wednesday night and Thursday. We're, whoops, I'm going to a new Munch group in Venice, CA called the Westside Munch on Wednesday night at the Whaler Bar & Grill. Its starts at 7:00. Then on Thursday there is the South Bay Munch with our great group of friends. This is the Mimi's Munch on Crenshaw, also starting at 7:00 PM.
For more information about the Munch and the South Bay group visit the website: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/south_bay_munch/

Night 3 of 10There are many things that a slave does for a Master that don't get mentioned in the message board threads. For instance, before beth left for the East Coast I asked her to change out the CD's from the cartridge in my car. It's an easy thing. All it requires it taking them out the six CD's from the cartridge and putting in new ones. But not having to do it, and then being surprised to hear what beth selected is great. Especially yesterday. I was coming home from work and hit the CD and heard some great old Beatles tunes. It was nice. It was even nicer because it brought beth closer to me even though she's over 3,000 miles and seven more long nights away. There are a number of things that occur between us similar to that every day. When trying to explain what makes 24/7 M/s special and wonderful for us I think these little things are as critical than any dungeon or prop we use in play.Thanks baby! Miss you!Night 3 of 10There are many things that a slave does for a Master that don't get mentione

Night 2 of 10When considering how to track the time of beth's trip back east I thought first of doing it by the amount of hours. I remembered my friend from 40 years ago who couldn't believe that he was in my advanced geometry class, freshman year HS. In a perfect example of chicken/egg; he hated math and was bad at it. How did he get into an advance class you ask? He cheated! I think that taught him a good lesson. He opened a restaurant and is doing quite well. Anyway I digress - The relevance is he used to track his misery by counting the seconds and minutes every class. Except on test days were he would look at the paper and upper thigh of Kathy sitting next to him. You see, Kathy wrote her cheat sheet way up on her thigh. Got to LOVE Catholic HS uniforms back then! Anyway, he said counting seconds made it go faster. I don't know about that. To me time slows to crawl when you are doing something you really don't want to do. For example isn't a 20 minute jog on a treadmill a LONG 20 minutes when you have that timer counting down the seconds? So I'll keep track by the number of times I have to sleep alone. If only the nights really would pass like treadmill seconds...Oh and needless to say, my help wanted ad didn't generate one response! One of two reasons I think; people didn't take it seriously - or they did.Night 2 of 10When considering how to track the time of beth's trip back east I thought fi

HELP WANTED! Temporary position (10 day) available with long term possiblities for a dedicated slave in the South Bay area of LA.
Must be able to take over slave's duties, especially the morning coffee (Pic #15) delivery; serving a pragmatic hedonist dedicated to self pleasure and enjoyment. Anyone interested should take heed of the likes/loves listed. I may not get through them all, but this is a no safe-word, no limits household. Expect gratuitous sex and debauchery. Must be comfortable with nudity and performing 'humiliating' (perspective?) tasks.Ah, but what a household; a beautiful view, heated pool/jacuzzi. Gourmet kitchen with 3 ovens (no waiting). Cooking skills, or at least dialing for good take out required. Good conversation skills and social manners a must; as is the ability to integrate into any potential social environment. Should be as comfortable in a county club as you are in a BDSM club. Must be able to make the perfect Bombay Sapphire martini (shaken, up, 3 olives) and greet me with it upon my arrival home from the office.
NO BRATS! NO SAMS! Age & gender not important - Attitude is! Must love FUN and have a sense of humor with an appreciation for a NYC perspective. If you love Seinfeld - you'll love the household banter. Serious inquiries only. Will respond to all applications. Include pictures and references for priority consideration. It's time for beth's annual trip back east to visit family. Usually I go too, but this year there are business scheduling conflicts. Usually when apart it is hell; not just for me, but for anyone around me. Maybe this idea will save the people around me a lot of grief.beth is leaving in 5 days. Finding her only took 45 years. Finding a replacement, even temporary, in that time frame seems like an impossible task - but what the hell... HELP WANTED! Temporary position (10 day) available with long term possiblitie

Party Recap Thanks to all those from CM who attended the 'Summer Solstice' party. It was quite the gathering with people coming from a variety of backgrounds. Plans are already underway for the Winter Solstice' party; stay tuned for the details. The problem with parties is that time tends to speed up and they end too soon, even though this one broke up well after 3:00am; there is way too much food left over; and, as host you don't get to 'play' as much as you'd like. I especially wanted to enjoy the bondage modified 'Sex-Swing' http://www.pleasuremenow.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=2591 I secured rings up along the support bars and side cross bars bars and was hoping to see at least 4 people attached to it, but it was a bit too chilly outside after the sun went down and only a few took advantage of the opportunity for outdoor bondage and play. Oh well - next time! Meanwhile, it seems the dungeon was reopened with a flurry. Special Thanks to our good friends Beach Mystress and her 'toy' for bringing over their spanking bench. You may even get it back...someday. And since the 'rumors' will be out there anyway - yes, at 2:30 we really did go and play 'Wii' bowling. Hey - what can I say, they don't have a 'Wii' flogging game...YET!Next time I promise to pay attention to the pool heater and not let the pool and jacuzzi get to the same 100+ temperature!

! PARTY TIME !! Grand Dungeon Re-Opening !We love people, enjoying a good time, partying, and having fun! We are fortunate that our home lends itself to entertaining and we've had our share of parties. Were going to have a big one this weekend.We have some notable CM guests who will be attending along with our South Bay Munch group and others who we've met at the various clubs and play spaces in LA. beth is the 'event coordinator' but I think at last count we have 20-25 people planning to come. People who wonder how to go about meeting people in real life; the answer is to get off the internet as soon as possible and get out and participate in the community. Moving the parents from the east coast to the west coast resulted in temporarily sacrificing our home dungeon for storage space since before Christmas until their assisted living facility was ready. Finally Sunday we got the room converted back into dungeon space. Unfortunately by the time we finished neither of us had the energy to use it - but it looks GREAT! We'll also have at least 3-4 other 'play' areas available including a couple outdoors where our 350 pound rated 'bird-feeder' frame (a/k/a 'Love-Swing' frame)will be used for its true purpose. FUN-FUN-FUN!We say, to almost everyone who contacts us, that we welcome any opportunity to meet and get together in real life. Just about all the people who will be attending this party were met via this method; directly or through attendance at some lifestyle event. Sharing good times with others in an atmosphere where you are free to be yourself is a wonderful experience. We'd love to be in a position to invite you all.! PARTY TIME !!

'Simple' Morning CoffeeWe think that rituals are good to include and maintain in a relationship 'lifestyle' or otherwise. It insures an ongoing commitment and helps to reaffirm roles and responsibilities. One of the first we included in our dynamic was the morning coffee ritual. What better way to start the day than with a 'ritual' to set the tone for the day. In our case, every morning for the past 5+ years, beth delivers my coffee in her own special way. Added a picture of our morning coffee ritual to the photo album to illustrate what I wake up to every day. It's a great thing to wake up to in the morning. A naked slave, a good cup of freshly ground coffee, and 'special delivery' cream. Coffee never tasted sooooo good!Granted - sometimes it does make 'it' hard to get out of bed.

New Orleans UPDATE. . . . FLASH - FLASH - FLASH Saturday night netted 63; brining the two day total to 112!Injures finally took their toll as beth was finished walking early tonight. she could have easily made it to 100 but four nights on the Quarter were too much strain to put on the surgically repaired foot. Great times were had! beth's wondering if there are any other places and events where people give you prizes for showing your tits? Friday night on the French Quarter - beth netted 49 beads. she collected more but decided to go out on a balcony and toss some of her own. A good warm up for Saturday night! Shooting for 100! she was asked to leave one location out front of one of the topless places. Why go in and pay when its being given away for beads out front?!The broken foot is a minor hindrance. The morning after is a bigger one. Being the trooper she is though, she'll be ready to rumble once again tonight! One picture on profile, more on flickr when we return! New Orleans UPDATE. . . .

Selfish Silliness We're off to New Orleans is less than a week. No particular reason, except to get away for a little personal time. We've had some long staying guests in our home that have cramped our style a bit. Clothing for beth is usually the exception but since December it has been the rule. Just in time for the warmer weather things will be back to 'normal'. We want to celebrate by hosting a Big party with our friends. Our South Bay munch group had talked about having a 'Formal D/s Dinner' at our place. That sounds like a great idea and we look forward to that! Meanwhile a little vacation. beth's never been to New Orleans, and it has been over ten years since I've been there. We've received some great recommendations about what to do. (KEEP THOSE IDEAS COMING!) We'll be putting some tourist dollars into the community.The occasion will be our '19th' anniversary. Another little 'silly' thing we do. When we got married we knew it was going to be tough to catch up to our parents when it came to longevity. At our age, we think the odds are long for us to make it 25 years or 50 years; let alone the 62 years my folks have been together. So we decided to celebrate every month. Every 17th is our 'anniversary'. We usually go to dinner or try to do something special. This month - it's a fancy suite with a balcony in the French Quarter of New Orleans. I'm looking forward to getting some pictures of beth flashing for beads. We'll get some, even if we have to stage them under our own balcony! Watch this space for picture updates. Silly huh? It is deliberate. Silliness and fun are the rule for us. The outside world is serious and scary. We try our best to keep ourselves in a 'bubble' of silliness. We think everyone should try it and welcome all to come and share ours. Selfish Silliness We're off to New Orleans is less than a week. No particular reason, ex

Renewal Time! Whether celebrating Easter or the holiday it was based upon, the celebration of the Vernal Equinox, this is a time of renewal. A time to walk outside take a deep breath through your nose and enjoy the smells of new flowers being born. Here on the left coast, 10:48 tonight is a time to dance naked under nature's canopy. Of course under the circumstance, beth will be limping naked.It is time to Spring forth!

If you are in the neighborhood, come join us at Hennessey's in Redondo Beach. We will be there around 4:00.We'll be easy to pick out - beth will be the tall red head in the orange shirt (she's THAT kind of Irish), and a big plastic boot cast on her foot trying to 'River-dance'.

Consensual Non-Consensual Torture! Tomorrow, March 7th, beth will be tortured by someone else and there isn't anything I can do about it! I'm even paying for the privilege!After over 2 years of trying every other possible means and method, tomorrow beth goes under the knife to remove the broken tiny bones in her right foot which have been causing her so much (NOT the good kind) pain for so long. It means at least 10 days of no walking at all and many more weeks of convalescence. I'll be in the role of the 'Serving Master'. I don't know which of us will be more out of character. beth's biggest worry, and the silliest, is that she's shirking her responsibility to me. Me - I just worry about her. My frustration about not being able to take away her pain is overwhelming. she'll be out of my control. Another 'Master', albeit a Doctor will cut and hurt her and I can't be there to hold her hand or touch her cheek. Not being there troubles me more than the procedure itself, which is relatively safe. It's the first time in our relationship though that I'll feel her safety and well being are out of my control. I hate the thought. I know I'll hate the experience more! So please don't invite us to any outings that involve dancing - at least for a few weeks. Meanwhile, if you have a good thought, or even a prayer to offer - THANKS!Consensual Non-Consensual Torture!

Recreating PerfectionTomorrow, (March 1) marks the day that, 5 years ago, we met. It was six days from the day I responded to beth's ad on BDSM Personals (Are they still around?) seeking a 'Gentle Master'. Everything being relative I took a chance and replied. I found out that she was 180 miles away. Coffee at Starbucks was out of the question. A meeting was set for noon Saturday at a Buellton landmark 'Pea Soup Andersen'. A face to face meeting, lunch, maybe a drink. Liz, she hated and wouldn't let anyone call her beth, was very interested in my 'toy' collection. No on-line 'play' but she was persistent about knowing about my club experiences and my toys and she always managed to direct our email, chat, and phone conversations to talk about those thing. To get her off the subject and find out more about her, I promised to take a small sampling to the meeting. Promising her that they would be just for 'show'. I remember saying; 'NO PLAY ON FIRST MEETING - It's NOT a good idea. Its not safe for you. Its something I just WON'T Do!' It's a wonder she ever believed anything I told her afterward. My goal was simple. Meet, hopefully have some fun. 'Worst case' I would see a new area of CA that I'd never visited before. The ride was beautiful. A 'top down' day for the Z3. Less traffic than I anticipated allowed me to take a back road -CA 154. The warm weather, blue sky, and green canyons in March; accompanied by 'BRUCE!' CD's playing loudly. This NJ boy already had a good day going long before getting the Buellton. It would get better. It would end up being GREAT, one of the most important day of my life. Still about 1/2 hour early, I drove though the tourist part of the city, and again thought - this will be a great place to stroll around. Then the phone rings - its Liz - she's at the restaurant. GREAT! - See you in a little bit. 'Andersen' is a spot were bus-loads of people come to be fed. In particular 'older' people. The buses and the clientèle I walked by made me think that this would be a short meeting. The picture represented by her profile must have been taken 20 years ago. Oh well, no matter, a drink, pleasant conversation, a hand shake goodbye. Then maybe I'd stroll the streets of Buellton solo and check out the antique shops.It is a big place and the bar, where she said she'd be, was remote. I finally found it and her. No old lady was waiting. Instead there was a tall, beautiful, redheaded woman. There was a hello handshake. I took her hand and don't think I've let it go since. She smiled and in a nervous voice said; 'hi! I'm Liz'. It took a while for the bartender to come around. The over 70 crowd eating lunch wasn't big on drinks, but he had to ask. A Jack&Coke for her a scotch for me. I have no idea what we talked about. I think we exchanged words, but all I remember about those first moments was looking at her face and how her eyes and mine never lost contact. We knew we had to get out of there. Back out to the car we drove though town, no longer interested in stopping to shop. I told her I loved the scenery on the route I took and she offered to give me directions to her neighborhood which was very remote and had great views. We drove for about a 1/2 until getting to a area we could pull over and get out. She said nobody ever comes up this way unless they are lost. We kissed for the first time up on that hill. We started to do more, but what do you know - someone drove up rolled the window down and said they were lost and wondered if we could give them directions. 'Where else could we go?' I asked. Next stop - Pismo Beach! Liz said; 'There are a LOT of places to go there, a LOT of hotels too.' Well Okay, I can stay in the area tonight and go back to LA tomorrow. That doesn't mean anything will happen. Yeah - I really thought that!-NOT!The Kon Tiki, was the first place we were together. I was telling this story last night at our Munch, and told them how she was so perfect that I didn't think Liz was real. We got into the room and I had her go to the opposite end of the room and take her clothes off for me for the first time. In the back of my head, (the last part still trying to think logically) I was thinking that something has to be wrong; maybe she is really a he! But there was no 'tucking' going on. Liz was a woman. WOW what a woman!I think the last lie I told her was the one about not 'playing' on first meeting. I rationalize it by saying that I've never lied to her SINCE we met. I remember when she was naked, looking down, kneeling at my feet, I put my finger under her chin to raise her face so our eyes could meet. I said to her from this day on, you will be 'beth'. The name became demarcation point from her old life to her new. It was a new name to go with her new identity. The salacious details of that first day aren't important. Let's keep it at beth got to see, and experience, all the 'toys' I brought. We shared some wine, and when our bodies called for another type of satisfaction, we left the room and had a spectacular dinner at McLintocks in Shell Beach. We spent the night together and woke up in each other's arms. We'll try to recreate that day. Tomorrow morning we'll both be in the same Z3, take the same route, kiss overlooking that same view, have dinner together at McLintocks, and stay in the same place. Maybe you can't re-create a perfect day, but sometimes, perfect days, are the way you begin a perfect life. It's been that way for us; 5 Years of perfection.Recreating PerfectionTomorrow, (March 1) marks the day that, 5 years ago, we met. It was six&n

SERENDIPITY (def: Making desirable discoveries by accident.)You often hear the phase, 'Today is the first day of the rest of your life.' Births, deaths, graduations, a good time, a bad time; all points to take a deep breath and use the phase. Time passes and rarely does the phase ring true except as a pragmatic and insignificant reference. However in our case, there is a date, a time even, that represents the first day of the rest of our lives. That day is this Saturday February 23rd. It was on that day that we made 'FIRST CONTACT' with each other. Those interested can see that first contact email (Go back to a journal entry posted last year at this time.) I sent beth in response to her profile posted to a site similar to CM, but now part of a pay site. In 2003 February 23rd was a Sunday. Six days later on Saturday March 1st at a little before 1:00PM PST - we met. Serendipity aptly describes our union. beth, too far away from LA and without any ability to leave her point of origin. Me, jaded and resigned to happily live out a life looking back at a roller-coaster ride of highs and lows; just playing out the string. We were 'happy', content, and looking for new adventures; expecting 'FUN' as the best possible result.There were a whole series of 'accidents' that had to occur to bring us where we are today. Many not very good, in fact extremely sad, to look back upon. Living life involves experiencing disappointment, pain, sadness, despair, and death. We are fortunate to have each had the fortitude to get through it and look beyond. Although we both would say that we thought winning the Mega-Millions Lottery would be easier to accomplish than the life we had today - we were, at least, willing to 'buy a ticket'. Our profiles on that long defunct website were our ticket. We 'WON'! We found each other! Now - here we are. Still on a ride that brings us to a new peak with each passing moment. No longer a roller-coaster but a rocket at warp speed to the fulfillment of our dreams. The only sadness we have are the moments that life forces us apart. There can be no better life for me. How is it possible that five years have passed? I do feel different than when I asked the same question last year; but the surprise feelings of increased intensity, increased passion, while at the same time feeling as if every touch is the first; are actually stronger. How in the hell is that possible?! Please beth if you are 'bewitching' me do NOT stop!Happy 'FIRST CONTACT' Day!FIVE YEARS - WOW!

We're Back! I now know for sure you can NOT die from jet-lag. Were it possible we wouldn't be here. However, sadly, we did miss this month's South Bay Munch. Our recovery just didn't happen fast enough. I was reminded, when I noted my age was incorrectly reported, that no matter how much we wish it weren't so, the earth still travels around the sun. Instead of attending EVERY party - we now have to pick and choose with an eye on the morning after the night before.Part of the trip involved removing the 'important' stuff from my parent's home in NJ. They were there 40 years, and have been married for 62 - at least 2 of them, happily. (LOL) It's because of our envy of them that beth and I celebrate our wedding anniversary every month. This February it will be our 17th! Even with that method of counting we still have a way to go to catch up with them. After dusting off the cobwebs, both mental and real, and packing up all those years of memories we came back exhausted.
We didn't have the internet while there. The house was only one step above rotary phone. However, I think we've responded to all the missed correspondence and if we haven't - sorry. We'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Meanwhile the current vote tally regarding our pictures is:Merc: 3beth: 19Merc & beth: 7No surprise there! It was nice however to see the impact of political correctness indicated by the 'write in' votes for us as a couple. If you want to see more examples of us enjoying life and 4 years of our Folsom Street Fair pictures you can visit our Flickr photo page: http://www.flickr.com/search/people/?q=Merc_n_beth We're Back!

? Peeking ? Seeing how many people view our profile every day has been fun, especially now when we're notified with a big, impossible to ignore, red 'Who's Viewing Me?' banner. Granted it's disappointing to not always have pictures to associate the name/profile, but we understand the need for privacy. We guess it's good, for some of those who view us, that we don't have similar issues. It always is interesting to see the amount of views from males and females, submissives and dominants, couples and singles. To all of you we say:-THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!-But we have a request. A new 'ritual' has evolved from this CM feature. Every morning, when beth brings me coffee in bed with two servings of whipped cream dabbed on her nipples, I point out to her how many, men in particular have really 'enjoyed' her pictures. she of course points to the females and has the delusional belief that they are 'enjoying' mine. We can only 'solve' this mystery with your help. If you do stop by why not take an extra moment and send us an email and tell us why you did. We'd love to know if beth or I or both or neither caught your eye. In gratitude if you want more of the same type pictures to peruse, let us know. We have nearly 140 pictures from the past 5 years that you can view, including the infamous 'beth Flashes at the Vatican' picture. In response to any comment and request we'll send you a link to them. Hope to hear from you! I'm giving beth 3-1 odds on our bet that her image is much preferred over mine. My guess is that her image has provided a target similar to that of a Japanese bukkake star! ? Peeking ? Seeing how many people view our profile every day has been fun, especia

TIME PASSAGES2008 - My generation expected that by now we'd be flying to work in our personal flying machines or commuting on monorails between cites. Bases would be on the moon and Mars exploration discovered an ancient civilization or two. The entire world was one community confirmed by the fact that we'd all be wearing different colors of the same jumpsuit. Silly huh? But it was the positive outlook of those growing up in the 60's and coming of age in the 70's. We just needed our turn to be in charge. We had all the answers.But this 'hippie' became a 'yuppie'. The 'bottom's up!' chant from college changed to worrying about the 'bottom line'. I think that's the way l would have gone through life if not for 9/11. Serendipity, fate, whatever, brought me to LA. Me, a cat, and everything I could carry and load myself into a 19' U-Haul. A 500 square foot apartment in Redondo Beach was a nice place to wait out life. And then there was beth...It will be 5 years this spring. 5 YEARS together! Five minutes seems more fitting considering our passion. Five hundred years more appropriate to describe our comfort and trust in each other. Five years! You know, there is still a deep sense of guilt for being here to tell the tale. But it goes to show that you are granted finite time, to have a finite amount of experiences. Use them! We wish that all of you in 2008 experience the love, happiness, and joy we have with each other. We know with every breath we are blessed.

No reason to rush home from work,No reason to be through.Four sunsets only black and whiteThree nights without a friend. Waiting only for that forth nightWhen this loneliness will end.

! beth BIRTHDAY WEEK !Is it true that the one thing worse than being 40 is to be 'over 40'? In that case what's the appropriate feeling for being 'over 50'!? Please - no need to respond especially regarding the +50. That was strictly a rhetorical question. The answer is of course, getting older sure beats the alternative!It is never more true than in our case. As silly as we look we 'act' like 20 year olds when we are together. We know this because our 20 something old kids say we have more fun, and do more stuff than they do. Having fun is our collective life goal and we achieve daily.Like beth - our life together only gets better over time. Thank you my love, my life, my wife, my slave; for all you provide in my life.

How silly is our life in the 'lifestyle'? We don 'costumes' of personality as well as wardrobe to survive daily in a world that doesn't understand or accept us.

The 'big' vacation trip, going to a club, asking someone out, a tattoo, a piercing, 'coming out', moving; whatever it is that finishes the thought - 'I wish I could...' Today is there to be used. Yesterday provides only a launching point. Tomorrow isn't guaranteed. Do it today - NOW!When all the chips of your life are counted you'll more likely to regret the ones you didn't put into play more than the ones you lost.Sucking the marrow from the bone called LIFE!Folsom was once again nothing but spectacular. Man we had a FANTASTIC time! Our fourth year of attendance was a fun as exciting as the first. We were amazed at how many people remembered us from prior years and said so. Okay - most likely they remembered beth, but as she points out, there were a few who seemed to like me too. We have about 30 minutes of video and at least 200 pictures to sort through and figure out which ones to post. We submitted one this morning which should be able to view after approval. We'd request anyone who attended the Street Fair who has pictures of us to be so kind an forward us a copy.Do IT Today!What's it? Whatever you want to do and/or experience but you are putting off.

! ON THE ROAD TO FOLSOM !This will be our 4th year at the Fringe and the SF Folsom Street Fair. Can't wait to see old friends and hope to make some new ones. Leaving as soon as the 'save changes' button is pushed to post this journal entry. Stay tuned - we'll try to post daily and maybe even post some pictures. However that means some old pictures have to go. How about some suggestions regarding which ones should be replaced?Edited to add: 'Sometimes they DO show up!' We've been chatting with a person for some time now. She is curious about the lifestyle and has been talking to us about our dynamic and our life. She now wants to take the next step. She said she wanted to 'come out' or 'in' to the community at the Folsom Fringe and Street Fair.'Yeah right!' Was my first thought. Dive in to the deep end of the pool. I told her if she came-I'd pay. Well guess what - we picked her up on the way to San Jose and she's with us. I reserved a suite with only one king size bed - this should be fun!She can't wait to 'dive in'!! ON THE ROAD TO FOLSOM !This will be our 4th year at the Fringe and the SF Folsom Street Fair

! Folsom Time ! A little more than a month to go before the Folsom Fringe and the Folsom Street Fair. This will be our forth year going to these events and we think we have the routine down.Anyone attending and interested in meeting us - let us know.We stay at the Fringe location and party there for 3 nights and head into SF after the Saturday party. We like getting a hotel room close by the street fair so that we can go back to the room every so often for a bit of R&R and a costume change for beth. It's amazing how many different ways she creates to be practically nude, all with the perfectly matching collar and leash. HELP WANTED: beth's 'ideal' Folsom Street Fair costume would be body paint. I'd love to see her in a body paint costume similar to those on any result from a body painting search. (since I can't post a sample link) - perhaps with a bondage motif of painted on cuffs and chains. Any interested and qualified artists who are in the SF area and would like the use of beth as a canvas contact us. ! Folsom Time ! A little more than a month to go before the Folsom Fringe and the

YEAH We're HOME!What a trip! 17 days/nights on the east coast. It was beth's first experience with east coast August heat and humidity. 'It's very moist and green with plenty of bugs.'; was her assessment. You never appreciate your own home as much as you do after being away from it for a long time. Two weeks of travel to fulfill 'in-law' and 'out-law' family visits can not be represented as a 'vacation'. We drove from Philly to Kingston NY, to Virginia, and then back to NJ. It was time away from the office but many days were much more taxing than a day at the office. We ate great east coast food, especially Italian and Atlantic sea food, for 18 days. Some days it seemed like that's all we did. The 'Italian Wedding' was a blast. The ski resort where we stayed at in Hunter Mtn, has a great indoor 'Grotto' pool/spa/sauna area that, because it was off-season, we had all to ourselves. (ummmm, that was nice - stay tuned for pics!) We spent a day at the Baseball HOF in Cooperstown and took a trip to A/C. Happy to be back on the left coast. Looking forward to going up to SF for the Folsom Street Fair next month. YEAH We're HOME!What a trip! 17 days/nights on the east coast. It was beth's first experience

It will be beth's first experience attending an east coast Italian wedding. It should be loads of fun! We have plans on visiting family in both Virginia and NY and some in between in NJ.

Wow - I expect this will be a long entry...First and foremost the 'M&b Traveling Munch' trip to SF and Sonoma wine country was at worse - FANTASTIC! If there is a more grand word in your mind to apply, use it and it still won't convey the fun we had. As is often the case, the place wasn't as important as the people who shared the time with us. The only complaint we have is that the time was too short.
As my beth pointed out in the 'positive experiences' thread; SimplyMicheal, BossyShoeBitch and ErusUxor are people we wish lived in our neighborhood. Honest people of integrity who live this 'lifestyle' as life are great to be around. We laughed, ate, drank, and enjoyed the world around us. Should any of them read this - THANKS! The Citadel was interesting. We'd been looking forward to going there for quite some time. Although the 2 story layout didn't lend itself to beth's fashion choice of a leather hobble skirt, it offered fantastic play space. Attending with 2 other couples didn't lend to meeting many new people there, but everyone seemed friendly. There were few, if any, who didn't take advantage of the facility and use the equipment. There were some items of furniture that we'd have loved to try, but didn't have the time. I guess we'll just have to go back again. I did witness one of the most unique rules being enforced by one of the many 'Dungeon Masters' overseeing the activities. During a scene with a single tail a 'DM' told the Master not to 'go sonic'. For the uninitiated, this means that cracking the whip and making that distinctive popping sound. Never could figure out if that was due to the loud noise or the danger of the impact. When we go back its something I'll ask. Saturday's trip to Fisherman's Wharf was also one of fun and frolic. We created a new lifestyle group - The 'Collards'. It's a US chartered group associated with the 'Ancient Royal Order of the Old Swiss Chard'. Michael was appointed 'Captain' of the 'Chard' since he purchased a uniform. I guess you HAD to be there...Our trip together to 'Mr. S Leather' on 8th Street and 'Stormy Leather', recently purchased by J T Stockroom on Howard was also a great time. It looks like Stormy Leather is in process of conversion. Mr. S Leather is just amazing. Its a great place to spend a lot a money and see all kinds of fun toys and furniture. The people in both places were also great and had as much fun serving all of us and we had checking out all their stuff.We had so much fun, we forgot to eat since breakfast. Then once we found a place nearby the hotel, in consideration to beth's feet, they may have had great food, but 50% of what we requested got a 'we're out of that' response from the waitress. Although we considered using that same answer regarding money when it came to paying the bill; we felt we were sadistic enough with the waitress.Once food was in the system the planned Saturday night trip to Power Exchange was deferred to 'next time' status. Age has a way of making the body unwilling and unable to do what the mind really wanted and intended to do. It does however give us a great reason to do it all again sometime soon. Well, enough about all that. Thanks Michael for suggesting we attend the Citadel event and organizing the hotel accommodations. beth is working on the DVD video of some of the more tamer aspects of the trip. Although the bungee jumping segment is doing to get us a PG rating at minimum. We all have expressed and hope to get together soon. At worse we'll all see each other at the Folsom Fringe and the Street Fair; where we hope to meet many more of our CM friends. Wow - I expect this will be a long entry...First and foremost the 'M&b Traveling Munch' tr

Next Stop San Francisco! Merc & beth's TRAVELING MUNCHWe're heading to the 'Collar & Cuffs' event at the Citadel in SF. The event is on Friday June 29th but we'll be in the neighborhood most of the week. We'll be attending with a few of the folks we've met from CM. If you want to join us - drop us a line. We're looking forward to seeing the Citadel facility. Although we've attended the Folsom Street Fair we've never been to the Citadel because its always too crowded during that week.

Merc & beth's TRAVELING MUNCHWe got this brainstorm in our minds and want to see how if it works. Many people contact us and want to get together, but often the distance is great between us. Well we travel quite a bit. Why not post on our journal some of our travel plans and set up a 'traveling munch'? We've decided to open up our schedule and let you know where we'll be. We love to go to different places on the weekends. One day each month we'll post the location / time and maybe we'll get to meet some more of you.We're going to try it this weekend. This Sunday - El Guapo's on Melrose Avenue. Contact us for the link. We hang out on the front balcony nearby the 'Beer-Pong' game. We'll get there between noon-1:00 PM; with LA traffic you can't be any more precise.If you are in the neighborhood, come by and say hello. We'll be the ones enjoying ourselves having a great time, listening to the DJ, drinking Margaretta's. If you're not sure it's us, just walk up to any group with a tall redhead and ask her to flash for you. If it's not beth, you'll be smacked. If it is beth... ...well you'll just have to stop by and see what happens! Merc & beth's TRAVELING MUNCHWe got this brainstorm in our minds and want to see how

A quiet weekend for us. Stayed in LA, did a little yard/garage 'sale-ing' on Saturday; spent Sunday shopping on Melrose and hanging out at our laster Sunday hot-spot 'el Guappo'. Their outside patio and front porch are a nice place to kick back and people watch while being entertained by 60's style outfitted 'go-go dancers', a DJ, and the pick-up 'beer pong' games. If anyone is in the neighborhood on Sunday's about noon, stop by and we'll call it a 'munch'. While people watching, beth saw a man wearing an 'eternity' collar. Now, on Melrose I doubt leather studded collar with the wearer at the end of a leash would raise an eyebrow, but it was interesting to see a man, dressed 'normally' in every other way, wearing one. It made us wonder how many others 'like us' were there walking around in plane sight of all the tourists overpaying for Melrose Street 'vintage' and 'where the stars shop' clothing and goods. Just as amazing was the 2 new medicinal marijuana 'pharmacies' that opened in the two weeks since we last were in the neighborhood. Discretion is no longer considered. Now they are competing for customers, (whoops - the proper term is 'patients') with big, bold, signs proclaiming them a store for 'medicinal herb'. One in particular was being used as a 'photo-op' location by the tourists. It was cute seeing the mom take a picture of dad holding the under 10 aged kids while pointing to the sign. Imagine the slide show back home; 'Look at pic Ethel, they sell pot in a store, just like going to the 'Piggy-Wiggly' right out there in the open!'. I wonder what would play better in their middle america hometowns - the eternity collar or the pot store? On Melrose, on a regular Sunday afternoon, you can come and see both. We love this 'who's viewing me' enhancement. We've met a lot of new people because of it. If you peek - drop us a quick note.A quiet weekend for us.

Hey, we just love this 'who's viewing me' enhancement. We've met a lot of new people because of it. If you peek - drop us a quick note. Let us know what you think of our profile and pictures.Oh - and btw...WOW - VEGAS was GREAT!We had a great time. Friday we spent the afternoon at Harrah's outside bar and bandstand and got wasted on 'strap-on' Long Island Iced Teas and Margaretta's. After two of those - beth, got up as a volunteer 'Village People' (she was the construction worker - GREAT VIDEO!), flashing the band and anyone else in the vicinity. Saturday night Prince was everything we expected and more. We sat right above the dance floor. Some people there had to stand in line for 3 hours followed by another 5 hours once inside. No seats on the dance floor! Prince played until 2:30 a.m. at a venue the size of a small club. beth got to watch and dance to his music from about 50 feet away. she could have been about 2 feet during one of his walks but she went the bathroom at that exact moment. Later that night we won a few grand at the tables, getting back to the room just as the sun was! Hey, we just love this 'who's viewing me' enhancement. We've met a lot of new people because o

VEGAS BABY!We're heading there the weekend of April 27th. The 'Event' is VIP tickets for the final appearance of the Artist now once again known as Prince. I expect that beth will end up on stage in her Prince Concert 'costume'. We are leaving LA on Thursday and we'll be staying until Monday. If you're in the neighborhood drop us a note and maybe we can get together.Remember, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas......especially if you have a good lawyer!

In the spirit of one of Master’s favorite shows---Seinfeld---this slave has been musing over the following things, and at Master’s direction, is including them in our CM journal.
Mommy/Daddy/daughter/son adult relationships
What is up with that? After reading several threads, this slave gets the impression that the person seeking this sort of relationship out wants someone or wants to be that someone that is protecting, caring, nurturing, loving, guiding, more intelligent or worldly, all of the things that a mommy or daddy are. What this slave doesn’t understand is why is it necessary for these folks to tag a biological connection to it with the specific term “Mommy” or “Daddy”. Even more weird, why is it accepted by vanilla society to call a man “Daddy”, or have a man say “Who is your Daddy?” during a sexual encounter?
This slave has been mentored, protected, nurtured, loved and guided by a wonderful man, but has never had the inclination to call anyone who she was having sex with Daddy or Mommy. It brings up an incestual overtone that this slave can’t reconcile in her mind as anything sexually stimulating.
This slave has come to the conclusion that tagging a relationship with biological names gives it a level of commitment—blood relation---that couldn’t theoretically be broken through separation, divorce, release, etc. that it comforts the participants to think of themselves as being blood related, more so than if the other person they have given their all to wasn’t. kind of a---you can never separate from me, as long as we are alive.
Cutters that are into Knife play
What is up with that? If they are doing it to themselves, everyone suggests they need therapy, but if someone else is doing it to them, it is part of the accepted kink of knife-play at someone elses discretion and they are ok…does that not seem like a contradiction? Still getting the high, only with the stipulation being that it is at someone else’s hand.
Rare=somehow more special
What is up with that? Folks who are submissive only to one person and dominant to everyone else they are in contact with gloating that the rarity and infrequence of not just their submission, but of submission in a general sense, makes it more special. Same with folks who think saying “I love you” all the time makes it less special than if you only say it once in a while. Should this slave think that everyone that lays eyes on her should be in awe of her beautiful red hair, it must be MORE special than any other color---all because red hair is so RAREly seen? Rarity makes something MORE valuable than what is commonly available, regardless of what it is????
Healthy/Unhealthy relationship
What is up with that? Folks who insist that one must have ____________ to be in a healthy relationship with another individual—who ARE these people who think they know folks better than they know themselves? Identities in cyberspace who think they are the be all end all of psychological health?
Beating the Crap out of each other
Kicking, Punching---What is up with that? Like as in scene-ing that way…it would be damn hard for this slave to be kicked or punched by Master and not end up with something broken. He is verrrrrrrrrrrrry strong and powerful, and not even into martial arts…but even so, isn’t martial arts self-defense? Aren’t the kicks and punches designed to hurt as in to break bones or disable or kill the opponent?
Part-Time BDSM=the One True Socially Acceptable Way
What is up with that? People who think that as long as one compartmentalizes the BDSM, D/s and confine it to weekends or certain nights have a healthy balanced life---one must work, interact with blood relatives, attend vanilla social functions, etc. or one is not “healthy”.
Keeping Your proclivities in the closet
What’s up with that? buying into the old “first rule of fight club…” mantra, don’t talk about it with anyone, especially blood relatives, and don’t display it in public either, just blend in with the rest of the vanillas, cuz you don’t want their kids asking questions, or them feeling uncomfortable, that would be dragging them into your kink and just rude. What about the Victorian kink this puritanical vanilla society thrusts on everyone? Or expecting everyone to parent your kid in public, isn’t THAT rude?
BDSM being vilified
What’s up with that? As long as we have puritanical laws on the books that define our relationships and how we can interact with another based on those relationships, we, that don’t agree with them, will have to suck it up or face prosecution/persecution.
Specifically, poly relationships, M/s relationships, same sex relationships, consensual battery…all of these things we have laws specifically preventing them from being practiced or accepted by society.
Freedom a la’ feminism
What’s up with that? This slave might be free to do things she wouldn’t be free to do elsewhere, but elsewhere she would be free to do things deemed unacceptable here. Public exposure of female breasts---as long as one pays to see it, it is depicted as “art”, or shows all but the nipple, one can get away with it, but better be careful where you breastfeed or go topless without charging for it, cuz that’s “just wrong”…marrying a lesbian partner…consenting to be owned property, none of that is legally allowable, but does that make it right?In the spirit of one of Master’s favorite shows---Seinfeld---this slave has been musing

FIRST CONTACT
Today, February 23, four years ago I made first contact with the woman who would become my wife, my slave. We met in person six days later on March 1st. What magic words did I say to beth that intrigued her to respond? Well fortunately they are saved.
Neither of us were looking for anything like what we found. We hadn't given up on life, but both of us doubted that we would find anyone we would want to live with, let alone marry. But here we are.
When reading this I was happy to realize that everything I said to her in that first message is still accurate. Well, I may not be as 'athletic' as I was 4 years ago, but who is? It is amazing to think back 4 years and remember that beth had absolutely no 'lifestyle' experience. One of the most enjoyable aspects of our initial meetings was seeing things through her 'new' eyes. Watching her reaction to her fist visit to a BDSM club, buying her first collar, hearing the nervous excitement in her voice as she asked me questions about a demonstration we had just seen together. We are so happy together.
Here are the words that made beth respond to me and started us on the journey were we find ourselves today:
Being new, and I will assume curious, regarding the submissive lifestyle is a thrilling experience isn’t it? I’m sure your mind has created exciting worlds and experiences which you have probably used to please yourself. And now you feel it is time for your body to truly experience what your mind has envisioned. Congratulations on making that decision. Regardless if we meet, your decision to realize who you are is the first step to nirvana.
I have but one question. Are you submissive or do you get off thinking about being a submissive? I will start our relationship corresponding by email, but only if there is a potential to someday meet. I live the lifestyle and will only correspond if you are serious and there is the potential for a r/t meeting. I am a virile, athletic, Italian man. I am an active member of lifestyle groups in the LA area and attend munches and play parties regularly where your expressed interest in exhibitionism can be satiated. If you have an interest, I would love to bring you as a guest. My experience in the activities you express an interest in will fulfill your fantasies, and perhaps exceed them. I can be a gentle as need be, as demanding as you need me to be, and as cruel as I have to be. I can be your mentor, your play partner, or if you determine after your experiences this life is your destiny, your 24/7 Master.
I’ve come to California after living, working, and playing in NYC. I’ve survived my business being blown up on 9/11 and since then have appreciated the value of time and will not tolerate those who try to waste mine. I live and work about 1/2 block from the beach in South Bay and stop what I'm doing every chance I get to watch the sunset. If you check my profile you’ll see exactly what I am. But beware, I take being a Dom seriously and will not tolerate a “want-a-be” or pseudo sub who gets off pretending while having me amuse her. I respect limits but will expand them to push your desire to be submissive; if that is truly your desire. It begins with an e-mail reply. My picture is available at my profile, if you are truly sincere I hope to have one of you soon. I am everything my profile documents - Real - Honest - Exciting.
It is now time for you to use your will one last time and respond. I hope to hear from you soon.FIRST CONTACT

How great is it to live in SoCal! Today's 'Wind Chill' was a chilly 68. How sadistic is it to point that out to all you poor bastards on the east coast? I hear it got to a balmy 9 in New York City. Have fun with that guys! The weekend is upon us! beth's home from her east coast sojourn. Looking forward to spending some time together having an adult beverage or two while lounging in the hot tub.

We are apart. We will be apart for the longest period of time since we met. Eight nights of sleeping alone will have passed until we are able to touch again. There are easier methods of counting. Days, hours, minutes, seconds are all passing at glacier speed. All must be exhausted until we touch physically again. All cause pain. Just waking up from night two of eight I'm now positive that the nights and waking from sleep are by far the most painful.It is one thing not to satisfy the conscience mind. The day's distractions can serve to pass the time. The unconscious mind is less likely to be distracted and is far less understanding. The conscience mind may be able to count the missed touches, the shared smiles and looks, and rationalize that the situation is temporary. Who knows how many times we touch subconsciously during the night? Sleep is a basic and primitive human function serving the Freudian 'Id' parts of the brain. It doesn't rationalize well, it just gets hostile.It will take a conscience effort to suppress the subconscious hostility I feel. Its no ones fault and but I guarantee I am going to be a difficult person to be around. Whether it is the slow waitress or the slow employee or the slow driver in the left lane of traffic; there is good chance that some poor bastard or bastards will get the brunt of this. Its a good time for me to stay out of the message threads because I doubt I could be as understanding of naiveté and ignorance as I usually am.Let this be a lesson to all. AVOID LOVE! It brings pain and suffering to your life. For the first 45 years of mine encompassing both formal and casual relationships, I'd actually look forward to the opportunities presented by being alone. I never felt alone. I never felt lonely. I never needed to share the same air with another person to be content. I should hate beth and hate the day I met her. Without her and that day I'd never know this pain. But that is as impossible as it is to feel good about the next six nights alone in our bed. We are apart. We will be apart for the longest period of time since we met. Eight nights of sl

FOLSOM STREET FAIR PICTURES We added a few pictures taken at the Folsom Street Fair. Another great time! It was a good idea to stay at a hotel nearby. We were able to see the festivities from start to finish. We know now that the least crowded time is when it opens. From noon to closing it's packed! If anyone who attended would like to share pictures, we have about 150 that we took and also a video. Would be happy to share and trade.The Folsom Fringe was also awesome. What a party! Congrats to the organizers! See you next year! Officially now Mr. & Mrs FOLSOM STREET FAIR PICTURES We added a few pictures taken at the Folsom Street Fair. Another g

FOLSOM FRINGE & FOLSOM STREET FAIRSeptember 23-25, 2005It's time to set your sites on Folsom. Can we get another CM Group together for a party like we had in Vegas?

Vegas was GREAT! Great people - great time - wish more of you could have joined us. We are grateful for this site providing us with the opportunity to meet so many new and wonderful people. Next trip ~ FOLSOM September 23-25, 2005 ~ ! Hope to meet more of you there. Move is FINALLY OVER! Unpacking seems to be taking forever. It was a LOT easier moving from a one bedroom apartment, but now we are up in the hills with a fantastic view, a very private pool area, and have a lockable dungeon room! The former owners called it a 'tool room' HA! When beth & I saw it for the first time we shared a knowing smile.We're planning an lifestyle house warming soon. A 'BYOP' party.

Folsom Fair ReportThere is nothing that prepares you for what you will feel, see, and hear when you attend the Folsom Street Fair. What a powerful experience. Best was being able to walk around the streets dressed as you wanted to. beth at the end of my leash was one of the tamer images that you could see. We were intoxicated with being able to be so open, and feel 'hung-over' from having to come back to reality. We took a ton of pictures, and had just as many taken of us. If anyone's interested, mail us and we'll send you some. There's a great one of beth and a group of about 6 gay men, ALL looking like they could be Mr. Universe. They were dressed in their harnesses and beth in her black mesh pants and top. One guy attached her leash to his cock piercing. We can't wait for next year!!!

'CARNIVAL TIME!'Our LA Group 'Threshold' is having a 'Carnal Carnival' this Sunday September 19th. beth will be doing face and body painting. So bring your face and other body parts and come and support the lifestyle.For all you shy and nervous newbies, the Carnival is NOT a play party and is a great opportunity to stick your 'toe in the water' in a non-threating environment. Lots of great Carnival Events with a lifestyle bent. Mud Wresting, Life Target Dart Game, Kinky Ring Toss, Dunk Tank, prizes, raffle, flea market tables, are just a few of the scheduled activities. Details are in the 'Events' section of the Message Board.

We aren't cyber players, and chatroom frequenters so if that's what it takes, it may explain it. We enjoy meeting real people - real time socially first and then....who knows? If anyone has an answer please drop us a note - for that matter, if anyone really looks at our post say hi! We don't bite! (At least beth doesn't.)Merc & bethPS - Or if we are disgustingly ugly and the thought of hanging out or being with us is offensive I guess that explains it - and we know to know that too!Just Wondering.....We love the concept of this group, and obviously the 'fee' arrangement is w
