I want to let you guys know that is was me that mentioned it in PM to Dreambirdie. I have no problem with it. I loved the video. In fact, I was pleased to recommend the video for the cause page for our ad campaign. Dreambirdie was very gracious in letting us use it. And it is wonderful that it got so many views on the cause page.

We are also looking at having a video to be aired on T.V., in airports, etc. which would likely be shorter in time. I don't know what the standards are for such venues, so I was discussing that with Dreambirdie. I still don't know.

And yes, there are some prudes. And I live in Southeast US, so I live among them. Maybe that makes my radar too sensitive in that area. But it is not me, just what I perceive might be the view of the public.

Thank you Dreambirdie. I hope your video continues to get much exposure. It is wonderfully done. In fact, I saw it again today. Obviously, you put your heart and soul in it.

And Dreambirdie, you were kind to not announce to everyone that it was me that mentioned the issue.

I am sorry if anything I said is discouraging to any one in reference to the video. Please watch it if you haven't.

Tina

Hey Tina-- thanks for being open about this.

I really needed a reality check from the crew here. I began to think I needed to put a fig leaf over his penis. :confused::Retro smile::Retro smile:

I'm glad to know FOR SURE that you, and everyone who has posted about it here, is okay with it. Thanks.

DB: You said the "P" word!!! How come you can say the "P" word and I can't drop the "F" bomb?

Just because you started this thread doesn't mean you get to keep it on topic. I got some serious relationship issues with my man and that hussy and you keep changing the subject!

(Being Serious: I really love that video. It needs to be OUT in the public as it is. Just so good and professional).

Why Oops, Sorry Tina?

Where I live, as you know, people would freak if they saw the "P" thing. So it was a good point. You have eagle eyes big time. I just didn't see that I only saw the mind thing.

We do have to be careful about every single thing that's written or shown.

I honestly didn't pickup on it since it is not what I consider nudity. But you know what, it may be appropriate since we have been "Stripped of our Dignity". No offense here!

You should make a special version of the video for the CDC - Change the slide to say "I got your XMRV study. And you can replicate this!!!!"

ROTFLMAO

Thank you guys. I am giggling myself silly. I think I have been working so much I have lost touch of reality.

Still laughing.

Will Monday be a long day? I actually want them to postpone it. I have been eager for so long. But I can't take the extra stuff that comes with it.

Going to bed to recover and get ready. See you guys here tomorrow.

That *is* his front.

Poor dummy! He's not really a proper artist's dummy, just a miniature toy version - he really doesn't articulate like the real thing. But he's doing his best!

Thanks DB for the classic art work

I actually got on the ground to photograph Upwards. Since this was art, no one really noticed me on the ground on my back. But, being a pervert, I had intended that my upward shots would be amusing to my girlfriends. The spouse knew what game I was up to though and not pleased - made me get up and off the ground. That man won't let me date either - where in the wedding vows does it say you can't date?

I think that M's David just goes to show that the correlation between the size of one's hands has nothing at all to do with the size of one's "P". Those hands are HUGE, the "P", not so much.

More PORN please!!! I'm tired of CFIDS. Let's turn this forum into a PORN site for women?!?!?! Cort won't mind...Right Cort sweetie? :innocent1:
