I've done it with my partner twice… first time lasted for only about a year.. the second was off and on for three. It was pretty amazing when everyone was communicating and on the same page...

Cyclical Ketosis Diet.

Jacking off while driving?
For some reason I get really turned on by pulling it out while I'm driving? Do other people do that?

Finally a diet that actually works - Cyclical Ketogenic Diet
A cyclic ketogenic diet (or carb-cycling) is a low-carbohydrate diet with intermittent periods of high or moderate carbohydrate consumption. This is a form of the general Ketogenic diet that is used as a way to maximize fat loss while maintaining the ability to perform high-intensity exercise. A ketogenic diet limits the number of grams of carbohydrate the dieter may eat, which may be anywhere between 0 and 50g per day. The remainder of the caloric intake must come primarily from fat sources, as well as protein sources, in order to maintain ketosis. (Ketosis is the condition in which the body burns fats and ketones instead of glucose for fuel.)
The Cyclical Ketogenic Diet can be complex, as it requires the dieters to closely watch the number of carbohydrate grams they eat during the intermittent period that they are not maintaining a strictly low carb/moderate protein diet.
When following a low carbohydrate diet, for the first few days, there is an adaptation period during which most people report feeling run-down or tired. Some people report feeling irritable, out of sorts, and unable to make decisions. For most people these feelings disappear after the adaptation period, however, and are replaced with feelings of calm and balance, and more consistent energy.
Although most people report a waning of cravings while in ketosis, some people may crave carbohydrates during ketosis for psychological reasons. During a hypocaloric ketogenic diet, the carb cravings may combine with hunger pangs, making matters worse. (However, it is noteworthy that most people report having no hunger pangs on a ketogenic diet, due to its higher fat and protein contents, which help to increase a sense of fullness).
A CKD offers a way to combat this. It offers a cyclical "refeed" (sometimes also called a carb-up). During this phase, the diet consists mostly of complex carbohydrates, with limited fat, sucrose and fructose. Since the glycogen stores in the liver and muscles are depleted, these carbohydrates go straight to refilling them, instead of being added to the body's fat stores. For this reason, the amount of calories consumed during a refeed can be far above an individual's usual dietary intake. While a typical CKD consists of 50g or less carbs per day, the typical refeed consists of 450-600g of carbs. Also a weight gain of 1-2 lbs is usually reported during refeeding. Which would mainly be water and will normally be lost in 2-4 days.
The goals of a refeed are threefold:
to refill depleted glycogen stores
to upregulate hormones and thyroid activity that are surpressed during dieting
to provide a psychological "break" that makes the rest of the diet easier to bearThe refueled glycogen stores can then be used for higher-intensity training to maintain or increase endurance / muscle mass after the refeed. Normally this sort of training would be relatively impossible on a pure ketogenic diet, as glycogen stores in the body are almost constantly depleted.
The refeed process can lead to gaining fat, if more carbs are consumed than needed to replenish glycogen stores. The timing, duration and macronutrient composition of a refeed are crucial to the overall success of the diet

RE: I don't think making gay marriage legal should be so important to us
Marriage in any form is not great for everyone. There are pros and cons.. The fact that gay marriage isn't legal is the exact same as white not being able to marry black. We are all human….
My partner and I will have to pay a lot more taxes when we get married - If Texas gets with the program.
But when he coded on the operating table at Baylor - I was worried they hospital would treat me like I was his "person". They did the exact opposite. They are holding my hand and took me to see him. He's fine btw...
For our on peace of mind... I want to make sure that he is making life or death decisions for me if it comes to that.. NOT MY MOTHER!!! We need to be able to take care of ourselves... we don't have the benefit of dumping our old age on our kids!!
