I was a young car nut during this time so I was watching all the cool cars. Mini Coopers, Austin A35, MG1100 sedan, Morris Minor Woodie Wagon, Fiat 500, Ford Cortina, MG Midget, on and on. Worked on all of them in my first jobs post high school.

It's so funny to see it like this. I really cannot appreciate a painting while peering over the heads of a crowd. Why I don't bother with the Mona Lisa when I go to the Louvre. The photo was surely taken during a recent massively popular Vermeer show in Amsterdam. This painting's home is in the Mauritshuis Museum in Den Hague. I saw it there in 2005 and was the only one in the room. Grateful to have had the opportunity.

Thank you for such a quick and thorough reply about play and pregnancy!

I should've been more specific. I write stories, and my character is pregnant and they engage in quite heavy impact play. The idea is controversial even within the kink community, I heard of miscarriages, I heard of lifelong spankos stopped all play for the duration of the pregnancy.

My question is how acceptable or controversial it is? Assuming it's a healthy pregnancy.

I certainly don’t serve as a spokesperson for pregnant people who could give you a blessing that others respect. If you’ve ever met pregnant people, you’ll know all their experiences vary and they have a LOT of different opinions.

I’ve never engaged in heavy impact and don’t know how you define it. In my own life, spanks and cane marks on my butt and thighs have caused me no issues. Neither has accidentally banging my elbow on the kitchen counter.

Miscarriage is tragic and can happen to anyone for a variety of reasons. I can understand why people would be sensitive to depictions of pregnant people being put in harm’s way for the sake of getting some other readers off. The risk you’re taking, I guess.

Impact play during pregnancy, yay or nay?

@three-red-horns and @properplace I have no real direct expertise in this - it was not my field of nursing - but might have a couple of thoughts to contribute: In my younger years as an athlete I had a number of women friends who were serious endurance athletes - runners, bike racers and triathletes. Obviously not the same as impact play, but things that put heavy demand on the body. When they became pregnant, the advice they generally got was "keep doing what you are used to doing as long as it feels good." And these very commited and motivated athletes generally maintained quite high activity levels pretty far into pregnancy without causing any problems. One bike racer rode to the hospital for delivery. Specific to impact, I can't see that impact on the ass, for example, should have any direct damaging effects. The one area that does concern me is in the endocrine realm. Intense impact play produces a pretty powerful storm of things like adrenaline and cortisol in the system and I would have some concern about subjecting a developing fetus to that heavy dose of stress hormones. I did a tiny bit of looking things up and it seems likely that CHRONIC high stress levels can have negative effects on a fetus, but that occasional, episodic elevations do not. More here: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/05/170529090530.htm

That would point in the direction that an occasional episode might be fine, but one would not want to make too frequent a habit of it. For what it's worth.

Summer Love.

There is so much I love about summer, it's hard to pick out what I love most.

I recently visited the Charles M. Schultz library and museum in Santa Rosa, CA. I saw a biographical film about his life. There was a real-life inspiration for the little red-haired girl. A woman he loved as a young man, who turned him down and married a different guy. She spoke in the film.
