Apigollo- You got it the wrong way!

How it is easy to get you so raged....

Daisy- Ooooooooh

Apigollo -You do not understand what I am saying !

Daisy - I attended an extraordinary vinegar tasting today.

Even on a cold blistery day an eventful evening .At last I was courted

by few interesting gentlemen,while also putting on my horny lips some green Sicilian olives. Wished you were there,but hell,you cannot understand.......

"Qu'il soit farci ou non, le cochon de lait est toujours rôti entier; le point essentiel est de conduire la cuisson de façon à ce qu'elle soit au point lorsque la peau est devenue croustillante et dorée. La durée de la cuisson varie entre une heure et demie et 2 heures pour un cochon de lait de poids moyen. S'il est farci, ce temps est augmenté d'un quart d'heure par livre de farce. Il doit être arrosé de préférence avec de l'huile pendant sa cuisson; cet élément permettant d'obtenir la peau plus croustillante que par l'emploi de tout autre corps gras. En même temps que la pièce, on sert toujours une saucière de bon Jus."

Dreaming American Style: Push!

drawing by marguerita
Americans may be gloomy and afraid, but they still have a clear vision of the good life.
The Pew Research Center just finished a study about where Americans would like to live and what sort of lifestyle they would like to have. The first thing they found is that even in dark times, Americans are still looking over the next horizon.
Nearly half of those surveyed said they would rather live in a different type of community from the one they are living in at present
The time has finally come, some writers are predicting, when Americans will finally repent. .Op-Ed Columnist - I Dream of Denver - NYTimes.com

Sigmund Freud & female eros

collage by marguerita
Chivers has struggled to make sense of her data. She struggled when we first spoke in Toronto, and she struggled, unflagging, as we sat last October in her university office in Kingston, a room she keeps spare to help her mind stay clear to contemplate the intricacies of the erotic.
She has been pondering sexuality, she recalled, since the age of 5 or 6, when she ruminated over a particular kiss, one she still remembers vividly, between her parents. And she has been discussing sex without much restraint, she said, laughing, at least since the age of 15 or 16, when, for a few male classmates who hoped to please their girlfriends, she drew a picture and clarified the location of the clitoris.
And what are known as paraphilias — erotic desires that fall far outside the norm making desire not an emotion to explore but an element to be feared, a source of epidemiological disaster.
The interest has brought scattered sightlines, glimpses from all sorts of angles.About female sexuality as divided between two truly separate, if inscrutably overlapping, systems, the physiological and the subjective.That female desire may be dictated — even more than popular perception would have it — by intimacy, by emotional connection.

The penis is external, its reactions more readily perceived and pressing upon consciousness.

She joked about including, for comparison, a movie of mating chickens in a future study.Magazine Preview - What Do Women Want? - NYTimes.com

Dignitas Personae: Only Adam &Eve and The Holy Ghost

drawing -collage by marguerita- Notes on Technology and Sex
“There is no morally licit way”The Vatican says these techniques violate the principle that every human life — even an embryo — is sacred, and that children should be conceived only through intercourse by a married couple.
The church also objects to freezing embryos, because it exposes them to potential damage and manipulation, and raises the irresolvable problem of what to do with frozen embryos that are not implanted. There are hundreds of thousands of these in the United States alone, a fact that prompted church ethicists to use this document to reiterate the church’s opposition to in vitro fertilization.Vatican Issues Instruction on Bioethics - NYTimes.com
from the Instruction:Human/animal hybrid embryos.
The Instruction rejects attempts to create such hybrids (including the use of animal eggs in attempts at human cloning), noting that "from an ethical standpoint such procedures represent an offense against the dignity of human beings on account of the admixture of human and genetic elements capable of disrupting the specific identity of man.

" The Instruction concludes by explaining the positive vision of human progress that grounds its moral judgments against specific abuses of biotechnology.
. Through modern science and technology, the Instruction says, the human person "participates in the creative power of God and is called to transform creation" in service to "the dignity and wellbeing of all human beings and of the human person in his entirety."
