How to Meet Conventional Loan Home Condition Requirements?

Found your dream home? Congratulations! But before you pop the champagne, there are a few hurdles to clear, especially if you’re financing with a conventional loan. Unlike Government-backed loans, conventional loans don’t have super strict requirements for the house itself.

Like a Stuffed Whore

Joel Miller x StuffedAnimal!Reader x unnamed stepdaughter

Summary: You're one of a million stuffed animals manufactured every year. What happens when you meet the love of your life...and he's Joel Miller?

Ya'll I mentioned it briefly once and here it is: a plushies fic from the perspective of a PLUSHIE who's got a massive crush on Joel Miller. Please note this is NOT the same couple as Plushies!Joel x Reader series. This is a standalone with stepdad Joel x unnamed stepdaughter , and is from her stuffed animal's POV.

Warnings: you are an inanimate stuffed animal. Stepdad x step!daughter (not reader), cheating, unrequited feelings, pisskink (whoops how'd that get in there?), plushie humping, delusional and one sided, dirty talk,

18+ ONLY

Life as a stuffed bunny had no meaning. From the moment your eyeball was stitched on in the factory, to being shipped in a box with a thousand others, put on a shelf, and sat under the bleak florescent light of a department store for weeks, you had no thoughts. No desires. You were nothing.

That is, until he found you.

Plucked from the shelf was a rougher grip than you'd experienced in a while. He inspected you briefly before tossing you into the cart. You stared up at him, his broad shape and gruff look shadowing you as he scanned your tag and took you home.

But you weren't meant to be his. At least, not yet. And not that he knew yet either.

You were a gift: newly presented to his newly acclimated step daughter. Even you knew she was too old for stuffed animals, a grown adult by now and halfway out of college. But her childhood bedroom suggested otherwise. She shrugged, ungrateful, and chucked you to the soft, plush bed of pink and frilly pillows, and the dozen of other cuddly animals that would be your new roommates.

Joel Miller was his name. And you were infatuated with him from the day he first chose you.

He comes in to his step daughter's room, slinking like a prowler at night, and uses you when she's away. All the other plushies shrink away when they hear his burly steps approach the room, but you tingle all over with excitement. You only became more and more obsessed with each love making session.

He loves you. Loves the way you feel, more fluffier and more squishy then the rest. He always presses you to his nose. Your little cotton tail practically twitches in excitement to be held so naughtily, so intimately. It gives you goosebumps when that gorgeously endowed snout of his nudges so close to your crotch as he takes a big inhale of your scent.

What he's really smelling is his step daughters leftover pussy juices from the last time she used you for her masturbation, but you can stand to ignore that part in favor of him smelling just you and your own scent...

She's always so annoying with those high pitched squeals she makes. Chanting "Daddy Daddy Daddy!" into her pillow as she grinds her naked pussy on you, your body smashed under her weight against the mattress.

You'd practically lose your plump lush shape of perfection were it not for Joel. Joel, who comes in every night, always fluffing you back up to your rounded and naturally supple state with such care and delicacy. As if he knew you deserved that precious treatment from him. Knew you deserved better than how she treated you. Knew you were better than her.

The other plushies only wanted to be played with for cuddles and tea parties. But you were different. You wanted to be played with and uses like an adult, with wet pussies and hard cocks, spanked and chained like a slutty whore plushie you were meant to be.

The best was when he'd always crush you against that massive crotch of his. Fuck, a bunny could drool at the sheer size. You'd let him grind your face and misshapen you any day if you could spend forever pressed against that fat, drooling cock.

After the months of his teasing and affair with you, your body had started to tear slightly at the seam between your nubby legs. You know he'll hopefully soon notice. Maybe he'd been prepping you, not wanting to rush your affair so soon. He'd been undoubtedly considering engaging in more intimate time with you aside from his rough ministrations and dry humping. No, he was planning to deflower you.

Don't get me wrong, you loved when he grinds on you. Unlike your abusive girlie, Joel knows how to slowly rolls his hips so that you're under him. Suffocated by his masculine shape, damn near crushed, but in the best way possible as he rocks himself into you. He groans into her pillow carnally. It makes you dizzy when you feel his cock pulse against you, knowing that you're bringing him such unrestricted pleasure.

He doesn't have to hide your relationship anymore.

Sometimes he likes looking at you, laying in her bed with you all set up on his lap as he grinds his cock into your belly. You feel so exposed, so sexy for him to see you on top. He grits his teeth, his errection trying to tear you in half before blowing his massive load all over your tummy and face.

He tries to clean you up best he can, but you like that he does a sloppy job of it. He intentionally leaves some of his sticky mess behind in hopes his daughter might catch on.

You never thought she would. You wanted it to just be you and Joel against the world. That some day he'd rescue you from this shitty room. Take you to his own bed and make sweet love for everyone to know and see that you belong to Joel Miller. The only one for him.

So it shattered your heart when the two of them drunkenly stumble into her room--together-- glued to one another in a mess of hot kisses and tangled limbs undressing. They keep giggling loudly, putting their fingers to their mouths to whisper "shhh!"

They fall on top of the bed, sending your long forgotten and neglected sisters off the side like they're just common pillows. You can't tell If it's worse that you're still here, laid perfectly to watch him almost in slow motion descent on her mound voraciously, or if it'd be better that you can watch the whole thing take place like a dream. You want it to be you that he eats out. You that he kisses like a forbidden fruit. You that he betrays his vows and cheats on his wife for.

You're about to tumble off the bed in defeat when a soft hand grasps you and places you right between them.

"Remember Bunny?" he whispers with a wolfish grin. Your girlie nods, smiling widely.

"I've been fucking her, thinking about you," she admits with a not so innocent hushed voice.

Oh they know. They both knew what they did with you separately. They both used you to get this far, this close to one another.

And here you were between it all. Used. like a toy.

He wedges your plush body between their crotches, right above where they're joined in a wet display of cock and pussy. She whines as she rolls her hips, her clit smothered by you at the same time pressing against Joel's happy trail.

He grins above, taking her hips and grinding her down on him until they're both equally humping you.

"Daddy--I'm gonna cum--" she whines desperately.

"Me too, baby. Where do you want it?"

Oh god, this is it! He's going to toss her aside, bring you close, and give you all the hot man seed your little bunny tail could possibly desire, stuff you full until you're leaking his litter of baby rabbits and--

"I gotta do it inside you."

You...you...you.

It echoes in your big ears. You could almost taste it, the way his hips drive into hers, the desperation, the need.

"I love you," she chokes into his mouth. The final ruts of their passionate fucking coming to a high.

"Fuck--I love you too," he growls, greedily sucking her tongue into his mouth. It should be you, he should be saying it to you!

You feel cold, shunned and abandoned as they release in euphoria in one another's tight embrace.

When all is said and done, they fall asleep together. You lay on your side, watching his chest rise and fall with her next to him.

You wonder if either of them will ever play with you again, now that they've found one another.

Joel stirs awake and grabs you. He's groggy, eyes barely lidded, but holding you in those veiny hands. You had missed him so much, had worried he'd never want you again. His calloused lips find your forehead. You can feel your entire body run warm as he plants his delicate kiss on you.

He's always so delicate with you before he gets rough.

Entranced by his touch, you barely notice the way he slowly positions you at his dick like so many times before. He glances at his step daughter, careful not to arouse her from rest.

Just when you'd thought he'd forgotten you, here he is, looking at you. Only you, and ensuring this moment is all between you and him.

You're giddy with inanimate excitement when he finally nudges his tip at your torn entrance below, only this time, he presses upward, splitting you open with a slight rip and plunges his length fully inside you.

If you could let out a sound, you'd scream the happiest noise you could. Finally, finally! Your insides are so filled by the man you love, his cock making way through your cotton fluff, belly denting from his sheer size. Deer god, his girth is the width of your entire body. He practically drills your abdomen, until he starts thrusting. Pushing your cotton aside to make a cavern fit for his dick inside you.

"Fuck--fuck--fuck," he whispers, brows scrunched in pleasured concentration. "That's my Bunnygirl. Gonna take it. Gonna take what I'm givin' ya, cuz ya so grateful f'me. Shit--my little stuffed whore!"

You're too blissed to notice nor care that he says that last part sideways at his sleeping step daughter.

He stops too quickly, and you feel his hips stutter with a guttural sigh.

Then... oh god, you feel it: his tip pulsing deliciously inside you, spreading warmth. Your stomach's cotton gets heavier, rapidly expanding with liquid as your belly inflates, dampening wetter and wetter, spreading until you feel 10 pounds heavier with the weight of his warm juices filling you up. You don't want any of it to seep out of your body. You want to keep it all safe and warm inside you, for him to use and relieve himself again. But you're so overwhelmed from the sheer weight and warmth and wetness of it all, that the next moment you are dropped to the ground, left face down in a puddle of his piss dripping out of you like a discarded toilet rag.

He falls alseep quickly again, wrapped around his stepdaughter. Meanwhile, you're dribbling all over the floor, leaking his love and promise everywhere. His little stuffed whore.

You always knew he wanted you too.

Homelander being obsessed with his sister HC V

Warnings: siblingxsibling implications, Homelander being such a narcissist that he falls in "love" with his own sibling, dubcon, manipulation, stalking, basically all the horrible parts of HL come out to play, MC has blonde hair and blue eyes like HL, different plot than 'All I Ever Wanted, All I Ever Needed', stockholm syndrome, dealing with aftermath, mental trauma

I II III IV

Oh you poor fool, did you really think Homelander would keep to his word? No, this only meant that he had to act under your radar. Stealth was required now to feed his desire to be close to you always.

He let you think that he was taking a step back. Grudgingly let you resume your previous life though you found little comfort in the family you once lived with. Time with HL changed you. Everything you'd known about your life was an utter lie manufactured by Vought. The hero you'd adored was. . . a complicated creature that wasn't like the golden man on the tv.

HL will draft thousands of texts to you but hesitate on sending them to you. He'll break and send you at least a text every other day. Tolerable, you think. You didn't know that he'd be using his enhanced vision to watch you read them and gauge your reaction.

Now is the time that stalker HL comes out to play since he can't be caught or you really would never forgive him. He didn't want another fight. He hated fighting you. It fought against his natural instinct to protect you. Plus you packed a punch that actually bruised his ribcage making it difficult for him to breathe for the next two days.

Often on his patrol breaks (and when he knows you aren't home) he'll fly by your apartment just to make sure nothing was out of the ordinary. You know, checking your drawers just to reassure himself that you were taking care of yourself and doing your own laundry. Particularly your undergarments.

Careful not to leave a trace when he does these inspections. Never staying too long.

You're non the wiser when you return to your apartment although you do notice how you have to buy more underwear lately.

He likes to keep the clothes he's taken from you under his pillow. When he goes to bed he pulls them out from their hiding place and places it next to his face.

your absence in his own apartments is suffocatingly pronounce

he hates how quiet it is, hates how his room is so empty without you there

and grudgingly you miss his familiar presence too

Your bed is suddenly too large without Homelander laying next to you. You hated when he'd pull you close to his chest in the middle of the night, refusing to relinquish you even if you had to pee.

You find yourself actually missing him and fuck does that make you resent him more. He completely uprooted your life. Him and Vought.

When exactly did you starting hating him less to actual start contact with him? You hate that you cracked after three days of being away from Homelander. Three days and you missed him like you hadn't seen him in a week. Hell, you'd been stuck with him for close to two months before enough was enough. That time spent together, all that trauma bonding, was bound to leave it's mark on you.

Loathing the idea that you may have developed a degree of Stockholm Syndrome. You'd read about it in books and seen it played out hundreds of times on tv.

You're annoyed when you close your laptop after spending hours of research. Especially after encountering this little passage: "An alternative explanation suggests that being in a captive or abusive situation generates intense emotional dynamics. Over time, individuals may adapt their emotions and develop feelings of compassion towards their abuser, particularly when subjected to kindness."

For the most part, Homelander had been kind to you (except, ya'know the whole fucking kidnapping thing). There were definitely moments where he made you uncomfortable but overall his intentions weren't necessarily malicious.

You recall a few times when Homelander leaned in too close to you and you thought. . . well you thought he was going to kiss you. But wouldn't that be messed up? Why would he do that? You didn't quite understand those odd moments where it sounded- it sounded like he was in love with you. There was nothing familial about the way he'd eye you.

In a short amount of time Homelander had done so much damage to your mental health. You found yourself unable to be without him. Perhaps that was the cruelest thing he's done to you.

Naomi's Auto Clinic #1: The importance of inspecting your automobile. And spark plug and wire replacement.

Hello my friends this is going to be the first in a series of posts about DIY auto repair and maintenance. Today we have two topics! Why you should regularly inspect your vehicle and replacing spark plugs and wires.

So.... Why should you inspect your vehicle regularly?

well, so you dont end up like this:

Last weekend I was driving home from my parents house when my Miata stopped idling and died at a traffic signal, I started her again and she immediately wanted to die unless I had my foot on the throttle, I went and quickly pulled off onto a side road and opened my hood. I looked around the engine bay until I found the culprit.

The bundle of wires for the Mass Airflow Meter (MAF) had abraded through and caused a short, I spliced and wrapped it in electrical tape and she runs fine once again.

But while I was looking for the problem I found a different unrelated one, which we will get too later!

Alright so what should you inspect?

First you should pop open you hood, the hood release is usually on the underside of the dashboard on the drivers side in most cars.

Now that you have it open I would just do cursory glace over everything. Does anything seem super out of place?

Open the radiator cap and check the fluid level and color, in my case I can see the fluid and it looks nice and green as it supposed too. Word of caution only check this with the vehicle is cold and hasn't been ran for ~30 min or so.

Check your engine oil. Most cars have a pretty obvious dipstick. In my case it has a yellow handle with a loop on it. With a paper towel pull out the dipstick and wipe off the oil, then put it back in all the way and pull it out again. it should be somewhere between full and empty. Take note of the color, if it is very dark you should change your oil!

Check your brake fluid reservoir. As you brake fluid gets older and used it absorbs more water from the humidity in the air. The fluid gets darker as it gets more water content in it. This reservoir is usually in a translucent container near the firewall at the drivers side of the car. As you can see mine is bit dark, so I should replace it soon. I have a future part in this series planned for this already so we will go over it then.

Outside the engine bay take a quick look at your tires. How deep is the tread depth? is there any cracks.

Look for this DOT code, this tells you the month and year that the tire was manufactured, I personally would not drive on any tire older than 10 years old. So if they are I would replace them. The first two digits are the month, and the second two are the year. So my tires were manufactured in the 28th week of 2023.

Back to the engine bay! Take a quick look at your belts to see if you see any cracks or fraying.

Take a look at the wires and rubber hoses. Do you see any cracks if so they need to be replaced, and UH OH. look at what we have here. The spark plug wires are falling apart! lets replace them.

So, I've decide to replace the spark plugs at the same time, simply because I do not know how old they are. And here are the new parts! Along with the tools needed to install them!

First off remove the wires from the plugs, I leave the rear hooked up to the coils so I know where they go.

using the wrench and socket is loosen all the of the spark plugs all the way, then retrieve them using my magnet.

Here are the new plugs! These are pre-gapped so I don't have to set it myself.

I put some anti-seize on the threads to the plugs so they wont corrode into the engine. That would be a pain to extract if they were.

Then I lower the new plugs into the hole with the magnet making sure not to drop them hard.

I always like to start them in the threads by hand so I can make sure the threads are not cross threaded before snugging them the rest of the way down with the wrench.

Alright lets move onto the wires! I like to replace these one at a time to make sure I put the right wire in the coil, its easy to find out what plug each wire is for as they all have different lengths

And they are all in!

Finally take it for a test drive to make sure everything is working properly!

I came back and she ran great! :)

I hope I was able to relay some good information for y'all! I plan on making more of these as I come across more things to do on this Miata. Up next is the brakes or replacing the AC compressor as it is bad.

Stay safe my friends!

I've been dreaming of the Plotting Serpent.

A Sorcerer in the Sands seeks something far bigger than himself. Freedom, sweet freedom.

How does a moment last forever? How can a story never die?

Bundled up in several layers, Jamil makes his way down a twisting path and into an open market.

The ground crunches softly under his boots. His breath is chilled, turning into a fleeting fog as he exhales. He retreats to the comfort and safety that his bulky coat provides, watching bales of white lazily drift down around him.

Snow instead of sand—imagine that.

The market operates straight out of the town square. From a vantage point--his temporary housing upon a hill--he can see the entirety of it, all the stalls forming a circle. The market is, by no means, large—but it has the spirit of something grander. The banter, the bartering.

Not so different from the bazaars at home.

Jamil ducks in, taking his time to pace around to each vendor. He’s agile and bright, like a child first viewing the moon and rushing to catch it in his palms.

Most sellers—and most customers—are elderly, gnarled like the roots of a tree. The cold colors their rounded cheeks the same red as many of the apples on display.

There’s pink and yellow and green too, and other fresh produce. The majority of it, he is told, is grown in Harveston. Others are foraged from Mt. Moln—nuts, plants, berries, and mushrooms.

Other stalls offer already manufactured goods. Scarves and gloves to protect against the winter, steaming apple drinks and sweetly spiced snacks, toiletries lovingly handcrafted with botanical oils.

His eyes light up with interest. He stops to inspect a row of shampoo and conditioner bars.

Feel free to touch and smell! says a sign at the stall.

He does, testing the weight of a bar in his hand. It is light and has an easy slip to it, and gives off the faint aroma of apples. Slightly tart and juicy.

It'll be good to have on hand, especially when it weighs less than liquid variants. The sign says these bars are made with apple seed oil, an ingredient that treats split ends and dryness while restoring a shine...

He absentmindedly feels the ends of his hair. The locks are normally dark and glossy, but the cold has not treated them well, leaving them slightly dry and brittle.

That's the cost of travel. It can be difficult to predict how my skin and hair react to different climates.

“Excuse me,” Jamil calls out to the stall owner, “I’d like to buy one of these shampoo bars, please. One in the conditioner bars as well."

“Sure thing!!” The owner wraps up the bars and slides them over. As Jamil hands him a few bills, he pipes up. “Say, yer not from ‘round here, are ya, sonny?”

“Yes. I am but a traveler.”

“Traveler!” The owner’s eyebrows shoot up. “Real fancy livin’ ya must have."

“No, not at all. I try to live humbly and travel light.” Jamil indicates his backpack, the one piece of luggage that follows him wherever he goes.

"That so? Not many young folk visit these parts." The owner strokes his rounded chin in contemplation. "I figured ya must be on yer way to the city. A lot more for youngins to see 'n do there."

“I beg to differ. The village has shown me incredible hospitality during my stay. Delicious foods, friendliness... I can enjoy Harveston's natural sights without worry. I'm content with just that."

With each word that leaves his lips, he feels the weight that has been on his shoulders lifting.

Jamil, you're free, the wind seems to whisper. The realization is intoxicatingly sweet and crisp, the first bite taken from a forbidden fruit.

"Aww, that warms mah heart ta hear ya say," the owner beams. "Yer a good kid, yer parents would be proud of ya."

"My... parents?" Jamil falters at the mention of them.

His parents are back home. His sister, too. Najma had texted not long ago, pestering him about bringing her a souvenir and asking when he’d be back.

His family is waiting for him. And... who else is there?

Jamil's brows furrow. Suddenly, he feels as though someone should be beside him, and he, trailing after them. A hopeless person buying up all the stalls, shoveling new dish after new dish at him.

"Here, try this, Jamil! Oooh, and this! That looks super tasty, have some too! And this cracker!"

"Where did you get all this food from?! There's no way we'll be able to feasibly finish this before it goes bad. Why do you never listen to me, Ka..."

A growl rips from his stomach. Jamil's eyes widen, and his face heats.

The stall owner's laugh cuts through his confusion. "Gahahah! Ya hungry there, son? Here, lemme grab ya somethin' on the house."

"Oh no, sir, I can't accept that."

"I insist!! Won't be long 'fore ya mosey on outta here and move on ta the next place. Eat yer fill while yer here, there ain't nothin' like a homegrown Harveston meal or snack anywhere else in Twisted Wonderland!"

The owner rustles with utensils behind the stall, He fills a container with a generous slice of pie--oozing with apple filling--and fluffy pancakes, plus a few potstickers. Then he pours hot tea, apple cubes bobbing in the spiced brown liquid, into a paper cup.

Jamil gets a whiff of it from where he stands and--against his better judgment, his mouth waters. When the owner hands him the container, cup, and a wooden fork, he doesn't refuse them.

"Remember us ‘n all the fun times ya spent here."

"Thank you, sir." Jamil bows his head. "I will. I'll never forget your kindness."

"Don't 'cha mention it. Go on 'n git now, ya got plenty more of the village to visit!""

Jamil departs with his purchase and his gifts, which he immediately settles into.

Lifting the paper cup to his lips, he sips his tea. It's deep and tangy from the cinnamon and apples it has been brewed with. He pleasantly warms from head to toe.

It isn't long before he downs the rest of the drink, apple cubes and all. They're not fresh, but dried--so when his teeth slices them into halves, they're springy and chewy, with a strong flavor.

Jamil lowers the cup, dragging out a satisfied sigh.

It's then that he realizes he's walking directly into a black wall. He veers sharply to the right, but still brushes his arm against that of the incoming person.

“Pardon me. I wasn't watching where I was going...” Jamil looks back, but is startled to find no one where his shoulder has made contact.

Hm? Was I imagining things?

Jamil glances around the marketplace. The crowd is too sparse for him to miss anyone. There are grandmothers and grandfathers, mothers and fathers, each dressed in thick coats and boots, some wrapped in scarves and others sporting fuzzy hats or earmuffs.

But no one is wearing all black.

He shakes his head.

It was probably nothing then.

Jamil returns to browsing the square, his every stride as light as a feather. He feels as though he is dancing atop the snow.

The cold no longer bothers him.

The wind, carrying a new message that resonates with his heart. It seems stronger now, rumbling like a deadly avalanche.

"Be free, Viper. Be free."

While I'm posting about my pathologic transcription, I'll make shorter posts about my takeaways. About the literal health of the environment around town, we get a couple people on day one to give context. The most obvious is Aspity, but to get an idea as to why things are as she says, you have to talk to a drunkard, called a Carouser, and a Tot.

The Tot mentions a "Rotten Field," and when asked what that is, he says:

"It’s where they bury the bulls’ bones. The place is covered with fur instead of grass, and it’s all bones bones bones underground. Bones and horns. Yeah."

Why are so many bones and horns and hides being thrown into a field instead of being used in some way? Either for jewelry, clothes, or for tradesmen's tools, these things have a variety of uses.

The Carouser, when asked about the Abattoir, says:

"Hundreds of bulls are being slaughtered there- what else is there to know? It is our humble town that provides the whole Northeastern region with beef! Or even the whole country mayhap."

It's because of the massive scale of the Bull Project that so much excess material is being produced and then thrown into the fields and rivers as waste products. Nothing is in higher demand than meat, nothing is needed as regularly, and perhaps the people in the Capital and in other towns are less interested in buying blood or bone. It's not profitable, the Olgimskys don't view it as anything but by products of more lucrative things.

Aspity says:

"All that water comes from the Steppe and it isn’t exactly clean. Yesterday I inspected all the springs in the area; there seems to be no more clean water around. That salty taste is everywhere, it’s reddish in colour, and there are disgusting clots in it."

And when Bachelor asks for more information, she says:

"The towsnfolk store water in home-made reservoirs. This modest supply should be enough to help us last a little while, but afterwards we’ll have to drink that bloody mixture."

Bachelor reacts to this with disgust, and can even insist she is lying, perhaps because he had been benefitting from this disgusting reality in his life in the Capital.

Aspity's whole point in starting this conversation is to make blatantly clear some of the side effects of the Steppe's occupation, which is that the waste material of the Abattoir is dumped into the river and land. This problem would be lessened in severity if the community was manufacturing meat not for the sake of providing for the entire country, but just for the local population and what's necessary to export in exchange for other essential imports. Obviously, this would be less lucrative for the Olgimskys (who don't care as long as they don't suffer any loss) but it would mean that the people who live here would better be able to care for themselves and the land with no need to think of supporting an entire country off the backs of one small community. The occupation of the Steppe, the running of the Bull Project, will not only destroy the Kin and lower classes, but will also eventually kill the town, the higher classes and even the Olgimskys as well. When the water runs out, it will run out for the lower classes first, but it will eventually run out for everyone.

More on Fat Vlad trying to talk about this all as if it were an inescapable, natural reality (and the Bachelor's fighting against this notion) later. Sort of how some people think that the way the world works, capitalism and such, are natural laws instead of constructed ideas (horrible fallacy).

Having to work on-site at the Statesman branch in New York was probably Jack’s top 1 nightmare. Yes, he hated those stupid online meets either, but even that was better than being in that city. He didn’t have anything personal against the city itself, but the whole metropolis thing was a pain in the ass for him: unending traffic, constant noise, everything was so similar and gray, and even on the spacious houses with well-sized backyards he had the feeling of being inside a cage.

The only thing that made him less miserable was having your company during the whole torturous process, pulling his CEO privileges to take you to work with him, or authorizing your entry into the building at any time.

That afternoon wasn’t an exception. Jack had various meetings in a row by the morning, when everything was solved, he ran back home, gladder than ever for having chosen a condo on Rose Hill that was just 10 minutes walking away from Statesman. After having lunch, complaining even about the grammage of the papers used for the company papers, and a 20 minutes nap, he was back at his office on the 39th floor, but fortunately, he had your company to make what was left of his shift more bearable, his stress magically disappearing every time he squeezed any part of you or when you moved to settle better on his lap, making his cock awake inside you once more.

Yes, the oldest and most effective way to make his day better. There was no soothing medicine or breath control technique that would make his day better so effectively as being buried into your warm core while reading all that boring paperwork, and, to be fair, you liked that; being all cozy on Jack’s lap while nonchalantly scrolling your phone, or being nosy on the Statesman papers, or simply snuggling against Jack’s chest.

“Are these made of gold or something?” you questioned while inspecting some random budget lists on his desk, one of which listed the price of a single sparkling wine bottle.

“What is it, darlin’?” Jack asked with a chuckle at your adorably shocked manner and looked at the paper “Well, it comes with a single diamond and some handmaid details in gold.” Jack smiled widely as you seemed even more shocked.

“I didn’t even know Statesman had such expensive ass things.” You said with a frown.

“If it makes you less shocked, we just manufacture it for another brand.”

“Well, it surely makes me less upset because you never gave me one to try.” You joked with a playful pout, smiling when Jack hugged you tight and kissed the curve of your neck.

“I’ll get you one before we go home.” He said calmly and kissed your cheek “You see why I need you around to work better?”

“Why do I have the feeling it ain’t only because of my dubious humor?” you wiggled your eyebrows softly while shifting a bit on his lap, feeling him tensing slightly.

“One thing complements the other.” Jack shrugged and pulled you slightly closer, resting your back against his chest.

“We can’t really interrupt your shift to have some fun?” you looked at him pouting once again, starting to get impatient with having such a limited taste of him.

“No, no, darlin’. I need to get these done today to finally fly back to Kentucky tonight if I have the chance.” He answered calmly, despite being serious “And you’ll keep pretty sat on my lap while sneaking into my paperwork.” He leaned slightly, pressing a soft kiss on your lips.

“Fine.” You agreed despite still wanting to move it further. When Jack got distracted again with his work, you took your chances, slowly grinding your hips back and forward on his lap, sighing with the feeling of his softened cock starting to grow hard inside you, but your fun was quickly cut by his arm wrapping around your hips and stopping you.

“Did you hear what I said?” he asked with a chuckle and kissed your temple, still looking at what he was reading.

“You can’t blame me for trying.” You laughed and grabbed the budget list back to resume your reading “I’ll judge Statesman’s expenses in the meantime.”

They Built This City: Some Early Women Contractors Made Their Mark In Cincinnati

On Marburg Avenue in Oakley today there stands a house built in 1907. The house, like others in that neighborhood, appears to be well kept and still in very good condition after more than a century. There is nothing obvious to distinguish the house from any other along that stretch of Marburg Avenue. There is no clue that this house was built entirely by a woman.

Her name was Sarah Pollock and she was around 40 when she single-handedly built the house on what was then called McCormick Road. She was inspired to build her own house by herself because she had survived the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Sarah told the Cincinnati Post [10 January 1907]:

“Since passing through that terrible ordeal you could never get me to live in a house that I did not know was properly built. My house is put up to stay. I wouldn’t be afraid to live in it during the heaviest earthquake.”

Sarah was married to Hiram Pollock, who was an engineer at a company that manufactured industrial scales. He helped out somewhat during construction, but readily conceded to the Post that Sarah was the boss.

“Mrs. Pollock . . . managed the purchase of the half-acre lot where their home will stand; she drew the plans for the house, and submitted them to the Building Inspector for his approval; she purchased the cement for the concrete foundation and helped to lay the foundation; she selected the lumber, and is now putting it into place, and she is going to put the paint on the house, too. The only things she will not do will be to put on the plastering and to fit the plumbing.”

And, Sarah built this house while wearing an ankle-length skirt. The Post reporter suggested that perhaps bloomers might have been more appropriate attire for a construction site, but Sarah would have none of it:

“A good old skirt and waist are good enough for me.”

Although the Post called Sarah “the only woman carpenter and house builder in Ohio,” that was certainly not the case. Just a few months after checking in with Sarah Pollock, the Post profiled Carrie Wiley. Although not as hands-on as Mrs. Pollock, Mrs. Wiley managed the construction company she inherited when her husband died in the spring of 1907. At Joseph R. Wiley’s demise, he was under contract to build seven houses in the Hyde Park vicinity and those houses were in various stages of completion. His widow had to go to probate court to get permission to allow her to finish the jobs. She told the Post that she had completed those projects and now had ten buildings under construction, including a couple of apartment units.

Carolyn Levina McGowen Wiley, known as Carrie, was described by the Post as:

“ . . . a little woman, who fairly bristles with business-like activity. She talks rapidly, but only when necessary. Apparently she is one of the very few persons who actually think twice before they speak.”

Throughout her husband’s illness, Carrie Wiley oversaw some of the construction projects he had started. Consequently, she had some experience managing gangs of workmen. She was on-site frequently and did not have to remind her workers that she was the boss.

“She not only manages the business affairs of her calling, but goes out on the job and personally inspects the work. If a workman is doing a bad job, she tells him so. If things are not running smoothly, she finds out why. If she thinks it advisable she adds a word of praise and cheer now and then, for she believes it pays to show appreciation of loyalty and honest service.”

Carrie found nothing at all unusual about a woman managing a construction company. She described her role as a necessary occupation to provide for her four children.

“Why shouldn’t there be woman contractors? Women have entered many other fields of industry. There are even women engineers. In the professions, women are quite numerous. So when it fell to my lot to take up the work my dead husband left off, I resolved not only to do it as best I could, but to learn a little more each day. I have got to the point now where I have actually been turning down work.”

Another Cincinnati woman who took on the job of general contractor after her husband’s funeral was Elizabeth Moser. Born in Germany, Mrs. Moser emigrated to the United States and married Joseph Moser in 1880. With him, she had seven children. When Joseph died in 1910, Mrs. Moser inherited his construction company and ran it until her death in 1928. It appears that business was good. Mrs. Moser and her daughter indulged in an extensive tour of Germany in 1923.

When Berl R. Davis celebrated a successful first year in business as a building contractor in 1930, the Cincinnati Post declared her to be “Cincinnati’s only woman building contractor.” By then Sarah Pollock, Carrie Wiley and Elizabeth Moser were either retired or dead, so the field was open for Mrs. Davis.

The 33-year-old contractor had quite a career before opening her own business in 1929. Born in Kentucky, she was widowed at 23 with an infant son. She made headlines in 1923 when she became the first woman to apply for a Cincinnati taxicab license.

When Mary Emery decided to create the brand-new town of Mariemont, Mrs. Davis opened a field kitchen for the construction crews engaged in building the city. One of her customers was the project manager, Colonel Leo Townsend. He taught Mrs. Davis to read blueprints and discussed the details of the project with her. Once the new city was built and inhabited, Mrs. Davis opened a tearoom that quickly failed, so she decided to go into housebuilding.

She formed a partnership with an existing contractor and the company successfully built and sold 40 homes. Dissolving the partnership and striking out on her own, Mrs. Davis constructed a dozen homes during her first year in business and had three more in progress when she celebrated her first anniversary.

By the 1960s, houses designed or built by woman contractors boasted a strong selling point, and that fact was trumpeted in the real estate advertisements.

Yesterday I had a great time in Wisconsin.

Early in the morning I cooked a traditional eggs and sausage breakfast. When I finished eating I walked around the campground, talking to people. I crossed paths with a lot of nice people this weekend. During my walk a group of campers were cooking eggs and bacon outside. Despite having just eaten a similar big breakfast the smell made me feel hungry again.

Eventually I drove to town to re-fill the propane tank. When I buy propane at home I pay a cashier first then show an attendant my receipt before he fills the tank. At the place in Wisconsin the owner (I think he was) came outside. I asked if I should pay before he filled or while he filled the tank.

"You can pay now if you want. Or you can talk with me while I fill the tank," he replied.

Being who I am, asked all sorts of questions about his experiences filling propane tanks while he filled mine. He seemed to genuinely appreciate my interest. There were no horror stories. He explained how he inspects the tank's date of manufacture and makes sure it's safe to re-fill. Back home I've never noticed the attendant pay much attention to the tank, nor is he into small talk either.

After that I went down the road to the place our friends own for a bloody Mary and a small pizza. I like the garnish in a separate glass and the chaser. I looked over several side-by-sides in the parking lot, including one flying two large American flags (the pictures at the top).

After lunch I returned to the campground -- and took a two hour nap. Why not. It felt like vacation. When I got up I met more people at the campground. It's been only two weekends but I'm very happy Sheila chose this place for a year.

Then I went on a bicycle ride. Because I was on some 45-55 MPH roads I wore a hi-viz jacket and had all my blinky lights going.

Almost everyone who drove towards me waived. Drivers who passed me gave wide berth. Two farmers on tractors subtly waved and nodded their heads my way. That made me smile. Approaching an Amish buggy, I figured the woman and boy in it might not appreciate my bright, flashy garb and blinking lights. But they smiled brightly and waved. That really made me grin.

In the evening I went to a different small town, the one I had been to the previous night. I was keen on having a beer at the bar that shares my first name.

First picture below is a sign on the way into town that I found amusing. Second picture is inside Mr. Bob's bar.

I should have taken a selfie, to show EXACTLY how many customers were in there at 6 PM. Later someone told me Mr. Bob's doesn't get busy until late at night. The bartender was a decent woman, but I felt she looked at me like "Why the heck are you here so early? Now I have to stop what I'm doing to serve you." It's not like I woke up the owner to serve me beer at 7 AM. I should have asked why they don't simply unlock the doors at 10 PM.

Since there was no one to chat with at Mr. Bob's I went around the corner to a taproom I had on my list of places to try. I was not disappointed.

There are 20 beers on tap. Not one of them has Light in the name. I chose a flight of four.

Next summer, sometime when Sheila drives, I plan to order the Dirty Knapp. It's served in that large, Swiss-cheese-looking circle below. For $48 you get a four-ounce beer from each of the 20 taps. That's five pints. I'm not a college student any more, but I think I can pull it off if I skip lunch and dinner :)

At the bar I sat with two other guys my age and a younger woman. The bartender was funny. The five of us laughed pretty hard while telling stories.

Because I had to drive back in the dark, along deer-infested county roads, I didn't drink any more beer after that flight. I was having so much fun talking to the others I didn't want to leave. So I tried some non-alcoholic drinks. I've seen hop water before, just never tried it. I liked it. It reminded me of some odd flavor of La Croix. I also had a non-alcoholic IPA. It tasted like real beer without making me buzzed.

To complete my night, some neighbors invited me to join them and their friends around a camp fire. More laughter and stories.

Fun times. I'm looking forward to going back a few more times before we have to winterize the trailer.

Starsy’s Film911 Fantasies: Louis Tomlinson

(Loose Script) On Recall —

SCENE ONE:

   Louis is lounging in his back yard, enjoying a bottle of beer under the bright summer sun, when he starts to feel an odd throbbing in the pit of his stomach. It's almost like another heartbeat... not painful, but pulsing in his gut. Caught off guard by the strange sensation, he examines the bottle for any clues as to what's going on, only to find that the drink was manufactured by a brand that was recently recalled for causing unusual gastric distress. In an effort to combat the heat, he'd already downed a few bottles of the stuff. Fearing the worst, he goes into the house and throws the rest of the bottles away... but, as he chucks the half-empty case into the trash, the first symptoms of his impending stomach trouble begin to show up. He feels a little queasy... let's out a few burps, and a couple of small farts... but it's nothing too extreme yet. Hoping that things won't get too bad for him, leaves the kitchen, and retires to his bedroom.

SCENT TWO:

   Louis wakes up a few hours later with a horrible stomach ache. In total agony, he looks down at his belly, only to find that it's blown up to about three times its normal size. He's so backed up and full of gas, it looks like he's pregnant with triplets, and ripe enough to give birth at any moment! Writhing around underneath the hefty weight of his beer-gut, he manages to reach over and grab his cell phone from the nearby nightstand, dialing the number of an in-home doctor. Cradling his sloshing belly, as if to calm it, he grinds his teeth and tells the doctor, Dr.Starr, everything that's happening. Dr.Starr tells Louis that he's on his way, and assures him that he won't be long.

SCENE THREE:

   Dr.Starr comes into Louis's bedroom, carrying nothing but a bundle of bananas, and urgently breaks one off from the rest of the bunch, giving him one. He says that he's encountered dozens of cases like this recently, and that eating a few bananas is one of the most effective treatments to relieve the gas and bloating that the recalled drink causes — presumably due to the high levels of potassium. In his urgency, Louis doesn't ask for further clarity.

   As Louis begins to nibble on the yellow fruit, Dr.Starr examines his abdomen, palpating around it in search of any weak spots, where the tension and bloating may be starting to release. He doesn't feel any such areas and continues with his procedure, encouraging Louis to let him know if any changes in the way that he feels arise.

   During this close inspection, Dr.Starr takes up a particular interest in Louis's unusually large belly button, questioning him about it. He asks him if he knows that his navel is strangely wide, if it's always been so open, if it's sensitive, and if he's ever had anyone show any attention to it — all questions that go unexplained, presumably having nothing to do with the situation at hand. Though Louis finds the sudden inquiries about the size and sensitivity of his navel to be odd, he believes that the doctor knows best, and answers each of his questions honestly, taking another banana from the bushel as they make casual conversation.

   Seemingly out of nowhere, Dr.Starr plunges his tongue into Louis's navel, and begins to lick it, insisting that this unorthodox treatment will aid in Louis's relief, and that he has the perfect navel for such treatment. He says that a belly button like Louis's will be highly receptive, and make the alleviation of his symptoms easier. Louis goes along with it, allowing the doctor to work. Though he tries to maintain a professional demeanor while Dr.Starr works, Louis can't deny that the warm wet sensation arouses him. He's swelling in his pants, and his erection doesn't go unnoticed by Dr.Starr.

Louis holds Dr.Starr's head to his stomach, breathing steadily as he takes the pleasure, and Dr.Starr allows it. Neither man says it out loud, but it's clear that this treatment has become something more intimate as Louis writhes and squirms in bliss, unable to contain himself.

The treatment goes on for a long while, until Louis eventually passes his bloat, letting out an incredible amount of gas.

SCENE FOUR:

   After Dr.Starr leaves, Louis can't help but to continue playing with his belly button — still filled with the doctor's saliva. Standing in the hallway, his back against the wall, he fingers his navel, moaning with pleasure. As he touches himself, he thinks about digging the pack of beer out from the trash and drinking some more of the contaminated beverage, hoping to see the doctor again soon.

What are the Benefits of Choosing Metal Roofing for Residential Properties?

If you’re considering a home improvement project, you might be thinking about your roof. After all, it’s not just about aesthetics; it plays a vital role in protecting your home. Have you thought about the benefits of residential metal roofing? This option is gaining popularity, and for good reason. Let’s explore the numerous advantages of choosing metal roofing for your residential property.

Why Choose Residential Metal Roofing?

When it comes to roofing materials, many homeowners are opting for metal. But what makes it such a popular choice? Here are several compelling reasons to consider:

Durability and Longevity

Residential metal roofing is known for its long lifespan. While traditional roofing materials like asphalt shingles may wear out in 15 to 20 years, metal roofs can last 40 years or more with proper maintenance. They are engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions, including heavy rain, snow, high winds, and even hail. This durability translates to fewer repairs and replacements over time, making it a wise investment.

Energy Efficiency

One of the standout benefits of residential metal roofing is its energy efficiency. Metal roofs reflect solar heat, helping to keep your home cooler in the summer. This can lead to lower energy bills, as your air conditioning won’t have to work as hard. Many metal roofs are also ENERGY STAR® certified, meaning they meet specific criteria for energy efficiency. Plus, they can qualify you for tax credits and rebates, adding more value to your investment.

Reduced Maintenance

Metal roofs require less maintenance than traditional roofing options. They don’t rot, crack, or warp, minimizing the need for repairs. Regular inspections, ideally every 2 to 5 years, can help keep your roof in shape. During these inspections, professionals will check for damage to the coatings or paint, ensuring that your roof remains aesthetically pleasing and functional.

Environmental Sustainability

If you’re environmentally conscious, residential metal roofing is a sustainable choice. Many metal roofs are made from recycled materials and are fully recyclable at the end of their life. Additionally, metal roofing helps reduce the urban heat island effect by reflecting sunlight rather than absorbing it, contributing to a cooler environment.

Enhanced Property Value

Investing in a metal roof can enhance your home’s resale value. Prospective buyers often appreciate its low maintenance and energy-efficient qualities, which make it an attractive feature. When choosing residential metal roofing, you’re not just improving your home now but investing in its future.

Aesthetics and Variety

Metal roofing is available in a wide range of colors and styles. Whether you prefer the luxurious look of copper patina, the boldness of matte black, or something more traditional, there are options to suit every taste and architectural style. This versatility allows you to enhance your home’s curb appeal while enjoying the other benefits that come with it.

Noise Reduction

Contrary to popular belief, metal roofing can help reduce noise from rain and hail. With the right insulation and installation techniques, you can enjoy a quieter home while reaping the benefits of a metal roof. This means you won't have to sacrifice comfort for durability.

How to Choose the Right Color for Your Residential Metal Roofing

Selecting the right color for your metal roof is an important decision. While aesthetics play a role, certain colors can also impact the efficiency and durability of your roof.

Standard and Premium Color Options

Metal roofing comes in standard colors like black, gray, and white, and premium options include unique hues. Consider how these colors complement your home’s exterior and landscape. Lighter colors may reflect heat better, while darker colors can absorb heat, making them ideal for cooler climates.

Custom Colors

Many manufacturers offer custom color options if you’re looking for something specific. This allows you to match your roofing to your home’s design perfectly. A roof consultant can help you explore samples to find the ideal shade for your residential metal roofing.

Factors to Consider

Consider your home’s architecture, climate, and homeowners association homeowners when choosing a color. Also, consider your personal preferences, as you want to love the look of your roof for years to come.

Tips for Maintaining Your Residential Metal Roofing

To ensure your metal roof remains in excellent condition, follow these maintenance tips:

Regular Cleaning and Inspection

Cleaning your metal roof periodically will help maintain its appearance and function. Remove debris like leaves, branches, and dirt. Regular inspections, ideally once a year, can catch any issues early on and prevent costly repairs later.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals

When cleaning your metal roof, avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Instead, use mild detergents and soft brushes to prevent damaging the protective coatings.

Keep an Eye on the Paint Condition

During inspections, pay attention to the paint condition of your metal roof. Over time, exposure to the elements can cause paint to fade or chip. If you notice any damage, consider repainting to maintain your roof's appearance and effectiveness.

Enhance Your Home’s Value and Efficiency

Choosing residential metal roofing for your home has various benefits, from durability and energy efficiency to environmental sustainability and aesthetic appeal. It’s a long-term investment that can enhance the value of your property while providing you with peace of mind.

Maintenance Practices: Regular inspections and maintenance can greatly extend the lifespan of your roof. Keeping gutters clean and ensuring no debris accumulates can help mitigate potential issues.

Benefits of Aluminum Residential Metal Roofing

Aluminum roofs come in various colors and styles, allowing homeowners to choose a look that complements their home’s exterior. Whether you prefer a traditional or modern appearance, there are options to match your vision.
