What Are You Really Eating?
Longish but recommended watching.
Starts of with shockers like "75% of honey sold in the US actually contains no honey (as per FDA definition)
Just a tip for the new VRers, if you find you have a block and you are sure there no reason for it, try having someone contact the person to see if it was an accident. Recently I accidentally blocked someone and found out because the person had journal about it. I knew I had rated the new person and happened to check if I had by mistake blocked them. I had and it was quickly removed. The location of the block button is not the best and sometimes it happens by accident. So don't always assume it was done on purpose. :)

LOL I have accidentally blocked Slippy a few times as well, it is not a good idea to put "block" by "reply" haha
I have blocked by accident and I have been blocked too. I still think that the button should move away from the add and he reply one. When my site lags it get pressed instead of the other buttons. But you are correct someone should always try to reach the one who got blocked by and see the reason before they thing they got blocked by accident
Yelp Lily you have even blocked me by accident before. Its an easy thing to do.
haha yeah it especially happens alot to people using phones...
just message a friend to ask them, then the friend can tell them "Hey! dont make so and so bust your face, unblock them" LOL
The Penis and You And Zombie Sperm.
Lily and I were having a debate tonight as to how often a guy regenerates sperm. She was surprised when I told her it takes 74 days. I decide to educate my better half on some facts about sperm and the penis. Lily now has graduated with a diploma and is educated about the Penis. Later I plan to educate her about the male orgasm. But that is for another time. I thought I would share the knowledge she has learned here in my journal so that others might also gain knowledge.
The sperm regeneration cycle takes about 74 days. It is generally known that most men produce millions of new sperm every day. However, you might not know that these new sperm take about 2 ½ – 3 months to fully mature or that when sperm are initially formed they lack the ability to swim forward or fertilize an egg.
There’s a difference between 'sperm' and 'semen.' Sperm and semen are mistakenly used interchangeably, but they are not the same substance. Sperm cells are actually a part of the semen, which is the whitish, viscous fluid released from the penis, according to MedlinePlus. Sperm leaves the body through the mix of bodily fluids that makeup semen. This fluid contains fructose and proteolytic enzymes that facilitate the mobility of sperm outside the male reproductive tract.
90% of sperm ejaculated is deformed.
Not all sperm are created equal. Sperm can have a multitude of defects in the head, neck, or tail, such as two heads, two tails, and coiled tails — to name a few. These defects can potentially affect the ability of sperm to reach and fertilize an egg, but it does not mean men are infertile. Normal sperm, says the Mayo Clinic, have an oval head with a long tail.
Sperm is not hot.. it’s actually cold. A man may get caught up in the heat of the moment, but his testicles stay cool. They are about 7 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the rest of the body. This temperature is necessary to help healthy sperm stay chilled compared to the rest of the body. “Radiator-like” veins pull heat away while muscles in the scrotum raise and lower the testicles to bring them either closer to the body’s warmth or further away.
Sperm comes in both genders.
Not all sperm are chromosomally male. Several sperm do carry the X chromosome, while others carry the Y chromosome. However, female sperm is actually stronger than male sperm, according to Harvard Health Publications. This means the likelihood of getting pregnant by a female swimmer is higher than a male one. If a father provides an X chromosome, the baby will be female, whereas if he supplies a Y chromosome, the baby will be male.
It takes 2 months to make sperm.
It may take a second for a man to release 1,500 sperm cells, but it takes months to mature in the testes. This regeneration cycle takes about two-and-a-half to three months to fully mature. Healthy sperm will not be ready to fertilize an egg until a new set of sperm — developed in healthy conditions — matures.
**2 months!!!!**
Zombie sperm!!!!
In vitro fertilization (IVF) makes it possible to use dead sperm to help form a healthy fetus. Typically, IVF technicians manually combine an egg and sperm in a laboratory dish and then transfer the embryo to the uterus, according to the American Pregnancy Association. Sometimes, a single sperm being inserted inside an egg may be “killed” after being beaten with a technologically advanced glass straw used for this process.
But as you can see, there's more to men's little swimmers than fertilization.
There now you are sperm educated
YOU CAN DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN, IF YOU'RE LUCKY
For most guys, the typical refractory period—the time between your last orgasm and when you'll be able to get it up again—is anywhere from a few minutes to an hour.
But one recent case study described a 25-year-old German man blessed with the mutant power of being able to continue to have sex within about 3 minutes after his climax.

By taking blood samples right after the man masturbated to some porn, the researchers found that his body produced essentially zero extra prolactin post-orgasm, which they surmised allowed him to achieve his multi-orgasmic feat.

"Place her glasses lookng at the notes she had from earlier noting down anything she missed" It was a nice educational night full of knowlege None the less in educational terms is amazing how our body works. How different males are and how their body reacts and how it works.
Did you say we will have another class about male orgasms? "chuckles making sure her notepad has many empty pages and she has many pens to write down"
"the typical refractory period—the time between your last orgasm and when you'll be able to get it up again—is anywhere from a few minutes to an hour."
I have easily been able to orgasm 7-8 times and that is only on an "meh" day, though more often than not, the orgasm does get weaker with each orgasm if you do not give your body time to tank up on more semen. I rarely get the refractory period. Also always make sure your sexual partner can keep up with you, I hate it when a women goes "I need a rest" lol
I have a appointment today at 11 am and its only 8:10 am so I planned to lazy in bed ,sleep off and own, till about 10 am. My bed is all nice and warm and snugly. So there I am loving just being lazy and can when outside my bedroom window I hear this LOUD *rat-a-tat-a-rat-a-tat* that sounds like its in the room with me. Even my bedroom window shook some from the vibrations..... these assholes next door are having some work done on there driveway and there using frigging jack hammer to break up the concrete cement. I am seriously pondering getting my hunting rifle and committing murder. Why oh why of all mornings they decide THIS morning to do that crap.
That moment when you wake up and get the coffee pot ready and then you go sit down waiting for it to brew....all you can think about is savoring that first cup...you figure its ready... you get up and go to the kitchen fixing to enjoy that first cup...and there is nothing in the pot because only know do you realize you forgot to turn the coffee pot on. :(
COMMENTS
lol......
been there, done that lol
And you wait for the moment you will hold the cup with the fresh made delicious coffee and then you look at the coffee mashine like its from an other planet. Ohh I have done that a few times.
Lately I do that with the washing mashine. put the cloths in and the soap and leave and then wait only to realize after an horu that there is no sound from the soom where the washer to go in and see that I never pressed the button.......
Oh it got worse... so I decided I wanted some toast with the finally made coffee.. I get the butter out and its a hard brick, I grab a knife ( not a butter knife like a normal person would go for) and managed to stick the tip of the sharp knife into the tip of my finger, a small cut but you know one of those tiny cuts that bleeds buckets full of blood. I grab some paper towels and make a Tourniquet to stop the bleeding so the kitchen does not look like a murder scene. /sigh I should have stayed in bed
I usualy Grate my finger when i try to grate the carot for the salat or the chocolate bar for a desert. We should be proud to call our selves cooks. At least cooks used to have these problems too before they learn hehe. You were only tired my love. Im glad it was only a cut though."Hugs you softly" Ill bring you breakfast in bed "giggles winking"
Ok that it is! for both the coffee failure and the wastage of blood, I am sending regional manager Liliancat to....take care of you..
But but Commander she is a boot kicker and will make me get up early every day and make my bed and 'chit.
You were the one taging my arm to wake up at 6 am my time "chuckles" To tell you the truth I would prefer to dozz off in the bed with him and play sick too
I want to make something clear that I think in my journal post below I did not make clear. I love all races. They fascinate me. I am a History Buff to the extreme that I have been called a History Addict. I love learning about all cultures; good and bad. However what bothers me is when a profile shows up here talking about an ancient race and at the very top of the profile is a picture of a Nazi Solider in full uniform. So much pain was had by the millions of innocent people by that group that seeing a Picture of a Nazi Solider in FULL uniform here on a Vampire Site that makes me sad. It was again not the ancient race his profile is about, its the graphics, the picture of the Nazi Solider that I then found the whole profile horrible. And yes, he has the right to post 50 pictures of Nazi Soldiers on his profile; he is within the ToS of VR. I too have the right to post in my journal the distaste I have for that profile. The 'oh just ignore it' attitude I do have with 98% of the things that go on here. As an outspoken person and passionate about all life I post here in my journal to start a debate if one is started. I too am 'expressing' myself. Yes, profiles like his have been here before and even worse this his and 99.9% of the time I only spoken in messages to others here about the profile. Today I decide to post in my journal about it. Here is my 1% of the time. And also my right to do so and I too am staying within the ToS of VR.
A Nazi profile? You Sir are horrible.
COMMENTS
What's that saying? "No one likes a Nazi"
I am all for self expression but there should be a limit. Racism should not be allowed. I have Jewish friends here.
"sighs" Its sad...
What shocks me even more is some here have rated the profile a 10
I am not here thou djust but I had grnparents and greatgrandparents that felt the fear of them. My granpa was raise in the fear of them
I don't know which profile you're referring to, but yes, bigotry is inexcusable.
Yeah i saw that profile ... was shocked. I didn't even rate the profile.
But then again , there are other profiles with themes based on horrible people both real and fictional ...
As long as the user doesn't say or do anything to hurt anyone. I'll just ignore the profile.
This is the ONE thing I wish Cancer had zero tolerance for in allowing here.
While it may be distasteful, it's not breaking ToS. It's a themed account, nothing more. And while you and I and others may dislike that theme, there's no stopping them from popping up. The user in question isn't spouting hate, and the profile in question isn't all that over the top about the whole "master race" nonsense. So, you know, just ignore it or rate it a one and move on. It lacks class and decorum, but some people are simply tactless or looking to get a rise out of others.
I can respect all races except when a person makes a profile to honor an ancient race and at the very top of the profile the person uses a avatar of a Nazi Solider. I found that very offensive.The Nazi's had nothing to do with they ancient race yet the owner of the profile puts up a picture of a Nazi Solider that served under Hilter whom was responsible for the mass extermination of Millions of people in gas chambers. if the creator of the profile had NOT used the picture of the Nazi Solider I personally would have no issue with the profile. Thus with the use of the picture of a Nazi Solider I called it a Nazi profile.

LOL very droll.
Haha!
I so love the fantasy the small kids have
You got to love pedantic humor, those who take details too seriously haha
To be fair, the question asked "show", not "tell". LMAO
RIP Chuck Berry
A true legend whose music has been stolen and adapted by white mfers from the first riff he played. His influence cannot be overstated. I listened to a lot of Chuck through my parents (My Dingaling was a campfire favorite), but I got to know Chuck when I got co-opted into our high school production of Grease.
I had no clue how to play 50s rock-n-roll, so I got a couple of Chuck Berry records and began learning the hallowed riffs. I still hear echoes of that tutelage in my playing to this day. Most stock riffs guitarists learn are Chuck Berry riffs, he codified the rock blues shuffle and pentatonic box licks that Keith Richard slavishly copied and filter through to such an unlikely player as Zakk Wylde, with his piston pentatonic riffage of doom.
http://www.ksdk.com/mb/news/rock-n-roll-legend-chuck-berry-has-died-at-90/423646802
I had no idea he was 90. Music lost a legend. And he apparently just completed a new album to be released later this year... Wow.
For my Lily, because you like this song. For what all VR is the good, the bad, I will always be glad that the best thing ever about VR is it is where I found you. I love you.
