ugh, I am sitting here giving my self a gel polish manicure and I need another story to read. I have lots on my favs list and on the TBR list, but the problem is, I don't know what I feel like reading. Anyone else ever have that happen? What do you do to remedy it?

I browse.  Sometimes I brows recs here, sometimes story searches and answers from the 152 thread, sometimes it's the completed fic list on ffn or my favorites list on one of the sites which is really a mix of favorites and TBR and WIPs I'm following.  Something usually catches my eye fairly quickly.

I usually pick a category on my Kindle and start reading the first thing that grabs my attention. Usually I read a few pages, if it doesn't grab me? On to the next story. Eventually something clicks. Otherwise I look for stuff by favorite authors or reread a favorite.

I should say things on my Kindle have usually been rec'd here or on Facebook. 

I mentioned before circumcision is a rite of passage for catholics. my 11 yr old son was circumcized last April. so i have seen an uncircd one up close. prior to determining if he was 'ready', his pedia would instruct him to retract and clean it while he is taking a bath. hopefully, he didnt enjoy that too much at his young age 

but he really is still such a 'baby'. i had to clean up his peen wounds the first few days. he has no malice in showing it to me or his dad to see if it was healing. i do know that 'cottage cheese' that Loopy mentioned bec my son had some mucus from the ointment on the wound. since it was still swollen, he didnt want to clean it vigorously the first week. now, that should not be an issue for him anymore  which reminds me, maybe i should take a look at his peen tonight to see the end result.  As i was warned by the doc and male relatives who went through it, it really swells like a tomato the first week or so from getting cut. My husband got a bit freaked out when he first saw it bec he couldnt remember his own circumcision anymore ( well, he is the worrier and panicker in the family). Good thing he got my glare so he didnt cause my son to worry. as long as he wasnt in pain (thank god for antibiotics and pain relievers) and a trusty cup to cover it, my son was none the worse for wear. 

Being neither Jewish nor Catholic, I'm relieved to say we didn't have to wait for any particular ceremonial time.  So both my boys were snipped about two days after birth and there was very little trauma involved for anyone. Whew!

i don't know why we didn't decide to have it done when he was born. there was no real 'ritual or ceremony'. It's just done when they are around 11 yrs old, supposed to signify he is moving toward manhood. but the way kids are acting at that age here, they really are still babies. guess in the cities, the ritual is lost as it is done by doctors. in the provinces, a local medicine man does the chop chop and several kids line up to have it done then they each take a running jump in a pond or lake, that being the ritual there. 

My husband insisted that our son be cut, because his little brother got some kind of infection when he was a kid, because their mom didn't keep his skin clean or something.

My dad was accidentally circumcised as an adult, due to a welding accident. I don't know the details, just that a spark went awry, and he goes commando, and got burnt.

Unfortunately, my dad liked to wear either really ratty jeans, or cut off jean shorts in summer. I learned he went commando before I even knew what it meant. Talk about scarred for life, seeing your dad's peen peeking out at you, ewww!

Kimkimkim right about Archer's voice it's such a great read - I think I might have to re-read it now I'm thinking about it.

You lucky biatch not only do you have a hot hubby (and Mr PA on the side  ) you've watched X-Men and I really wanna see it but the hubby keeps refusing to go as he wants to see 3 Days To Kill instead. 
So I think I'm gonna have to *cough*d/l it*cough*

3 Days to kill was actually a pretty good movie 

Really? Because the BBC's Mark Kermode ( film critic) says its a piece of crap...
