May 10 2007Faux Repair Plate

This porcelain plate has a gold crack designed right into it, recreating the look of a repaired plate. It's designed in the Japanese tradition of drawing attention to a flaw in the glaze by filling it with gold. Although for $550 you'd think the crack was filled with plutonium. Or cash.

hi, my name is Annie and I have been married for 18 years and have never done anything like I am currently planning. My husband and I spent a fortune on counseling years ago. It seems he gets more pleasure masturbating than making love to me. We have a horrible sex life and he will even say "it was good before we got married". Since I work nights and we are on different schedules he takes care of his own needs. We can go for months without making love. In the past 14 years, I have made love at night only twice and it was because he did not want to go to the both parties, which really hurt my feelings. Since I am a nurse and thought the whole issue was low hormone levels when he pulled that I was really crushed. I am so frustrated and tied of nagging that I have met someone who is very interested in me. The first time I caught him masturbating I cried, but the second I found a psyhcologist who deals with sexual problems, she asked are you fat, do you not like sex? I am in very good shape for my age and love sex. Although, have small breast...offered to have a boob job but given the choice of granite counter tops or boobs went for the wrong one I suppose. If anyone has any words of wisdom they would be greatly appreciated for I am feeling crazy about now. I did get rid of my cyber love yesterday because I think I was crazy in lust and could not think straight to save my soul. Besides, he lives in Texas and it was much to difficult to work out and I felt so guilty when he sent a family picture, just seeing his wife depressed me that I needed to get away from him. If you have taken the time to read this and have an experience you wish to share I would be very grateful.

Annie: get a lover. It will be for the better for both of you. Don't waste your life away not having sex.

I highly doubt that a university-educated nurse would have such poor command of the english language. I'm sure it won't be long before Annie starts posting links to the oh so aaawe-some dating website that fulfilled her sex life. For only 29.99, all you suckers can join too!

like most other females, prior to cheating on your partner you always proclaimed yourself to be "not the type" who would ever cheat. However, also like most other females, after they have cheated, you're shocked and appalled by your behavior, but at the same time you can't stop cheating.

Actually, I think I'd still just like to nail those chicks from that acrobatics/gymnastics video above this.

Now if they filled that crack with crack you better believe I would buy it! You know what they say, "Everyone who is anyone smokes crack!".
