When two world collide

Sometimes I like to talk about the more lighthearted joyous sides of being LG and their are other occasions when while preserving some delicacy, I sometimes feel like talking about more serious matters.  
Today is more like the latter I guess and it's about how two different ways of seeing how people present and why can clash.
I don't have a big issue with how people present in what we call age regression - the point when you go back into the mindset of being younger and  for us as littles it's to be a child and to act in a child-like mindset  being drawn from your own experiences some of which people may have differing views.
What I have an issue with is some not all in the Sissy community and some in Age Play both of which are in part connected to bdsm and kink who you may encounter in shared spaces where we might play or perhaps be on a site together doing everyday child-like and totally 'safe for work' regression activities who start to bring in sexual or more kink activities to the regressed state especially when it disregards the boundaries of others.
They may even try to drag you into it!
For most of us as in actual childhood that sexual side is and was never a part of it and to the extent as an adult you are sexual, then that belongs in your own bedroom or proper bdsm places.

Typically sissies tend to love more frilly presentations  but as I say being one is fine.
I'm more around uniforms and school role playing than frills although I may sometimes done frills and can't say if encouraged to I wouldn't go the whole nine yards.
Some people in age regression may mix in the kinds of punishment that were part of their own childhoods  or that they may of been curious of such as spanking but generally this happens away from 'common spaces' being just between you and whoever is spanking you. 
I'll be quite honest and say spanking is in age regression for me for what I'd of been back then but your age regression is yours and if you don't wish to have it in there there is no need to and nobody can make you.

Pawfect Orchid!


This is the Orchid I was talking about yesterday to several of you about that I grew from a kit I had for Christmas before the cat removed one of the flowers! It's done quite well although I do have to make sure it doesn't dry out being near the radiator .
I've always had a liking for flowers both indoor ones and event the 'wild' ones you see or in some areas more accurately used to be able to see growing by hedges and on wasteground.

Pawley(tm): I'd hate to disappointment anyone not least our dancing bear but I've had ownership of 'Pawley' for over 16 years just gone when what had started off an bit of achy paw thru an industrial injury grew into a debilitating condition that medical science says is progressive and inoperable.
For a period I was completely unable to dress, wash and even do things like read by myself and while I'm a bit better now it doesn't take much before I start to get involuntary shakes that lead into being unable grip coupled with severe pain.
Even now as my works colleagues now, we have to make adjustments like someone may have to do certain parts of a task for me and limit my hours. As well sometimes I may need to go home early and if we're at social functions then they do need to help me with getting and even cutting up food sometimes.
I'm always in some degree of discomfort and as the day gets longer the more I feel it which why some days sadly I have to say I need to rest if I''m on a forum and do leave chat earlier than some of you.

Jumping orf!


Well I mentioned in chat on Tuesday about Thelwell's cartoons, especially the ones featuring Penelope and her oh so reluctant pony Kipper and how much I loved reading them.
Well here's one I as able to find in colour we could share.
I spent a lot time around ponies and horses and had a brother who was involved not just as a competitor but also at one point officiating at Gymkhana's.
Apart from some severe damage to some cd's in a water leak  coming from the ceiling today, one of my teddies got drenched so I'm going to have to wash him and leave to try for several days.

Storytime



I have a confession to make people and it is this: I struggle to read much grown up fiction taking in the images, language employed and so on regardless of what it is about. For instance as great as say The Mayor of Casterbridge is as a novel I really struggle with it even though I can read reasonable well something such as series of technical instructions although because of my dyslexia it needs to be structured  well for me to make sense of it.
It would not surprise me in the slightest if my reading age still was as close as my LG age in reality - maybe  they're interlinked? - and one aspect of this is I read Junior Fiction for it's readability.
There is obviously a LG element in the kinds of stories they are in that they are often based around childhood experiences some of which I shared.
One of the people whose work I really do like is the authoress Jacqueline Wilson, who is British and has won many awards for her stories for children of all ages and is highly respected in literary circles for her way of telling often poignant stories about modern childhood and sadly the society they, like us, live in.
The Tracey Beaker Books that have been made into a BBC tv series, are a good example of this, telling the story of 10 year old girl in care because of how her father treated her and Tracey's mother but spending a lot of that time having no new forever family just a succession of temporary foster parents. Tracey it has to be said exhibits some behavioural issues of her own, such as aggression, being lippy and telling barefaced lies perhaps to compensate for what she lost emotionally.
It also examines how children from other difficult backgrounds relate and touches on the exclusion many feel they are from their school peers.
The Dare Game looks at Dares, something I was a right one for at the time and how a group of children including Tracey often marginalized get on, forming a deep bond emotionally through these games where each as struggled to form relationships with others they've know at school.
Diamond Girls is a story of resourcefulness in the face of adversity as a single parent family of Mom and three girls and a child to be that move from one social housing property to another chosen on a whim by Mom only to find it's a right dump but make it home, learning alot about themselves and to be more grown up ready for the first Diamond Boy to be born pulling together.
I had some vouchers for a well known high street bookseller and recently bought two more books by her.Luckily the staff aren't fazed by me presenting my vouchers for children fiction which is one less battle to fight.
I'm currently reading Lola Rose, the story of Mom and two children who having faced physical abuse by Mom's partner run away to London with the winnings of a Lottery scratch card making a new life but the peace of new life is shattered when it is discovered that Mom has cancer and needs to go to hospital. As well I got Hetty Feather the story of an abandoned baby.
