#limousine service based

[mel-et-ses-histoires]

Je discutais avec quelqu'un sur le fait de forcer l'installation des médecins pour lutter contre les déserts médicaux et je pense que les gens ne se rendent pas compte du tout de ce que c'est un désert médical et/ou se font une idée fausse de la population des médecins en France.

Parce qu'un désert médical ce n'est pas que la Creuse, le Limousin ou la Saône et Loire. C'est aussi Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Brest, Toulouse etc... Alors OK moi je veux bien être envoyé à Lyon pour lutter contre les déserts médicaux.

Plus sérieusement, la question de l'installation c'est partir à la base de l'idée qu'il existe des endroits en France avec "trops" de médecins et qu'on pourrait les déplacer là où en manque.

Sauf que la carence médicale est globale. Si à Paris il y a 2 ans d'attente pour avoir un pedopsychiatre c'est qu'ailleurs c'est pas beaucoup mieux.

Surtout (et ça quand on est pas dans le milieu on le sais pas forcément) mais il y a déjà une répartition forcée des medecins: ça s'appelle l'internat. Pendant 4 ans le médecin en formation va faire tourner des services 6 mois à gauche, 6 mois à droite. Et il est envoyé là où il n'y a plus personne pour faire tourner la boutique.

Alors je ne vais pas faire comme si j'avais la solution (enfin si : attendre 15 ans que les médecins qui viennent de commencer la formation la termine et comblent les départs en retraite) mais si il y a encore quelque mois à été voté un texte qui autorise les médecins à travailler à l'hôpital jusqu'à 75 ans (si si, et j'en connais qui le font) c'est vraiment que ça manque de partout.

Bref (pas du tout haha) je voulais partager le soupir que j'ai à chaque fois que j'entends parler de cette proposition concernant les médecins qui est tres symbolique, qui fait genre on va résoudre un problème qui existait déjà il y a 20 ans, et pas basé sur ce qui se passe dans la vraie vie.

Chapter 16

Matt was not one for moderation. Whether it was motorcycles, slot cars, horses, amusement parks, roller skating, sex, or even eating the same dinner day after day, if he enjoyed it, he’d overindulge.

One evening I gave him a little racetrack with remote-control cars. A few weeks later he had an entire room added onto the house with a professional game track. There he played night after night until he had his fill and then he never went back to the room until much later, when the annex was converted into a trophy room filled with his gold records and awards.

As Matt’s fascination with occult and metaphysical phenomena intensified, Larry introduced him to the Self-Realization Fellowship Center on Mount Washington, where he met Daya Mata, the head of the center. She was an attractive woman who looked remarkably like Mary Lou Sturniolo, and he was captivated by her serenity and spiritual presence. She epitomized everything he was striving to be.

He made several trips to Mount Washington, high in the Hollywood Hills, for sessions with Daya Mata in the hope of attaining kriya, which is the highest form of meditation in the self-realization fellowship.

As relaxed and peaceful as he was upon leaving the center’s hushed grounds, one thing he couldn’t pass up was a good fight. We were on our way home from Mount Washington one afternoon when our limousine passed a service station where two attendants were staging a fight.

“Pull over,” Matt ordered the driver. “Someone’s in trouble.”

He jumped out of the car, Jerry and Sonny following him. Going up to one of the men, he said, “Hey, you want to give somebody trouble, give it to me.”

“Hey man,” the guy answered, scarcely able to believe this was Matt. “I don’t have any problem with you. I’m not arguing with you.”

“I’ll show you something, if you want to get into an argument,” Matt said. He shot out a karate kick, and to his surprise—and everyone else’s—he knocked a pack of cigarettes out of the guy’s pocket. Among our group, Matt wasn’t known for his precision in karate.

Long after the service station fracas, we joked about it, saying, “Man, the Lord had to be on M’s side that day. That guy doesn’t know how lucky he was.”

Of course Matt had acted as if he could do this any time he felt like it. After executing that kick he’d walked away with a cocky smile, warning the guy to stay out of trouble or there’d be more where that had come from.

When we got home, the way Matt told it you’d think he’d just wiped out half a battalion. We all supported his fantasy.

He was eagerly looking forward to one particular film, Harum Scarum, seeing it as a chance to create a genuinely interesting character. He identified his role with Rudolph Valentino’s in The Sheik. At last, he thought, a part he could sink his teeth into. He saw a physical resemblance between himself and Valentino, especially in profile.

During preproduction, he came home darkened with makeup, dressed in white harem pants and a white turban. He looked extremely handsome, much more so than Valentino, I thought. Tilting his head down, with a piercing gaze and flared nostrils, he asked rhetorically, “Frightening, isn’t it, how much I look like him? How does this get to ya?” He took me in his arms Valentino-style and dipped me over à la the famous poster of the Sheik.

Night after night he kept his makeup and the turban on all through dinner and up until bedtime.

Although he was excited about the film when he first started shooting, as each day went by, his morale plummeted. Harum Scarum’s plot was a joke, the character he played, a fool, and the songs he sang, disasters. The film turned out to be yet another disappointment, an embarrassing one at that.

Still committed to the picture but demeaned by its mediocrity, he sought escape on his motorbikes—eleven Triumphs and a Harley—a Triumph for each assistant and a Harley for the boss. Decked out in leather from head to toe and feeling as tough as a pack of Hell’s Angels on a rampage, we roared through the gates of Bel Air, revving our engines at all hours of the night.

Weekends we took trips through the Santa Monica Mountains, stopping off for beer or cola along the way. It was fast, fun, and wild. I liked it so much I wanted my own bike. Despite his concern for my safety, Matt reluctantly bought me a Honda Dream 350.

While he was at the studio I sometimes rode alone, fleeing Bel Air, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, MGM, and all my worries.

During this period when he was still seeking “a higher state of consciousness,” we experimented with mind-expanding drugs. We tried marijuana a few times and neither of us especially liked it. We felt tired and groggy and we’d become ravenously hungry. After a few raids on the refrigerator—and carrying the resulting extra poundage—we decided to stay away from the stuff.

Although he abhorred street drugs he was curious enough to try LSD once. When he initiated our experiment, he made sure Sonny West was on hand at all times to supervise. The night we tried it Steven, Jerry, Larry, Matt, and I took seats around the conference table in Matt’s office upstairs at Graceland.

Matt and I took half a tab. At first, nothing happened. Then we started staring at each other and laughing—our faces were becoming distorted.

I became engrossed in Matt’s multicolored shirt. It started to grow, getting larger and larger until I thought he was going to burst. It was captivating, but I did not like the feeling. I thought: This isn’t real, be careful, you’re losing it. I tried to hang on to sanity.

We all gathered around the large aquarium outside the master bedroom, fascinated by the tropical fish. Funny—there were only two or three, but suddenly I saw an ocean of brightly colored fish. I strolled off and found myself in Matt’s huge walk-in closet, purring like a kitten.

It was early morning when Matt and I went downstairs and walked outside. Dew came down, creating rainbows in the mist, glistening on the trees and the lawn. We studied the leaves, trying to count each dewdrop. The veins in the grass became visible, breathing slowly, rhythmically. We went from tree to tree, observing nature in detail.

It was an extraordinary experience. However, realizing it was too dangerous a drug to fool around with, we never tried LSD again.

By 1966, Matt’s long search for answers to the mystery of life involved us all in the strange games he loved to devise.

In the backyard of our Bel Air home we found him staring up at “planets moving across the sky” for long periods in the darkness of the early-morning hours. He was convinced, and nearly had us convinced, that there were energy waves so powerful they caused the stars to glide through the universe. For hours we all gazed up in wonderment, questioning each other about what we were seeing, afraid to ask ourselves anything but “Could it be possible?”

His imagination peaked later on when we were all standing in the yard, looking over at the Bel Air Country Club, which was being watered by a fanlike automatic sprinkler system.

“Do you see them?” said Matt, looking intently at the course.

“See what?” I asked, ready to hear anything.

“The angels, out there.”

“Angels?” I asked, looking down at the sprinklers. I wanted to believe him, we all did and we went along with it.

As if in a trance, he continued staring at the water for a few minutes. Then he began moving toward them. “I have to go,” he said. “You stay here. They’re trying to tell me something.” He wandered off toward the golf course in pursuit of his vision. Sonny followed, insuring Matt’s safety, and the rest of us were left dumbfounded.

Other times he’d have us stare for hours at the off-white, nubby-textured ceilings, trying to make out delicately lined faces that he said he was causing to appear.

More likely it was just a game he’d made up out of boredom and depression because he was experiencing such a low point in his career. He took sleeping pills to escape, and while fighting off their effect, he created his “images”—his mystical exercises.

The happiest I ever saw him was when he developed a passion for horses. It all began when I said I wished I had my own horse. I’d loved them since childhood, and Graceland had a beautiful old stable in back, where James used to store old furniture. It was equipped with a tack room, hayloft, and several stalls.

About two weeks later, I was in my dressing room when Matt, who had been out for a few hours, returned and knocked on my door. “Sattnin, I want you to come downstairs for a minute, got something I want to show you.”

He led me down the stairway, his eyes shining. Then he guided me out the back door, his hands over my eyes. When he took them away I saw the most beautiful sight I’d ever laid eyes on—a black quarterhorse with one white stocking.

“His name must be Domino,” I said, petting the spirited four-year-old. “Whose is he?”

“He’s yours.” Matt was grinning. “I saw this kid riding him, asked if he wanted to sell. I could just picture you on him.”

“You mean he’s really mine?” I yelled, jumping up and down, throwing my arms around Matt. I wanted to ride Domino immediately and I mounted him.

“Now, wait a minute,” Matt cautioned. “Don’t go off gettin’ yourself hurt.”

He watched me with a concerned look as I rode out through the pasture and then up to the window of Grandma’s room.

“Dodger! Dodger!” I shouted. “Look what I got, my own horse! Isn’t he beautiful? Matt just bought him for me!”

“Good Lord,” Dodger cried. “Get off that thing, y/n. You’re gonna get yourself killed. I’m gonna whop that young’un for gettin’ you that. You got no business ridin’ that creature.”

“It’s okay, Dodger, I can handle him,” I called out, riding off happily.

He was wild and spirited. When I rode in the late afternoons, I was in my own world. It was a wonderful release. Often Matt would watch me from his upstairs window. I’d call out to him, “Come down and ride with me.

Matt didn’t ride very well at that time. About the only experience he’d had was in a few of his films, where he didn’t feel totally at ease. In fact, he was somewhat intimidated by large animals; nonetheless, he accepted my invitation and tried riding Domino.

He loved it, declaring, “I want a horse of my own, a golden palomino.”

Jerry Schilling found Rising Sun at a nearby stable. He was the handsomest palomino imaginable—big and powerful. He’d been trained for shows, and I’ve never seen an animal that demanded and thrived on as much attention as Rising Sun. There was no doubt that this was the horse for Matt.

He remained skeptical and had Jerry test Sun out. “Hey, it’s beautiful, man,” Matt said.

“A great-looking horse. Jerry, you get on it and ride.” Jerry had little, if any, riding experience and was horrified at the thought. Nonetheless, he gamely mounted Sun, looking as misplaced as Noël Coward on a Clydesdale.

Sun took off like a bullet with Jerry barely holding on, every bit of pride in his boots. The magnificent animal seemed to be studying Matt as much as Matt was studying him. He raced back, heading straight to where Matt was standing. “Hold ’em back,” Matt yelled. “I am, M, I am,” shouted Jerry. Matt was won over.

Now we all developed horse fever. We rode late afternoons and well into the evenings. But this wasn’t enough for Matt. As with anything he enjoyed, he wanted everyone else to join the fun. Thus began our quest for horses for the group, including their wives. We bought horses for Billy and Joe Smith, Nate Doe, Jerry and Sandy Schilling, Steven, Charlie, Red, Sonny, Richard—everyone. We bought the finest saddles, blankets, halters, bits, reins, feeding buckets. Anything that had to do with a horse, we bought.

Every afternoon we’d all mount up and ride, in full view of the two hundred or so local fans lined up along the fences. In western riding gear—chaps included—Matt would turn it into a show. He’d race down the long slope in front of Graceland and then strut back and forth before the fans, demonstrating how well he could ride. He’d have all-out races with the guys as the fans cheered them on.

They were in for even more of a spectacle when Matt bought his prize black Tennessee Walker, nicknamed Bear, which he rode attired in full show regalia. He and Bear put on a fancy high-stepping show that—if made available to paying customers—would probably have matched his Vegas take.

His other hobbies—go-carts and model cars—were only machines. This was the first hobby that involved a living creature. The horses responded to his love, and it was touching to witness his attachment to them.

It was a close time for all of us, we had something in common. However, after. Matt had delighted in lavishing horses on all of us, Graceland wasn’t quite big enough to handle the herds. We didn’t know it yet, but we were about to become ranchers.

Post 1003

Before trial, the Judge said he would accept a plea bargain and impose a term of 1 1/3 to 4 years in prison--but after loosing at trial the Judge gave a longer sentence.....

Nauman A Hussain, New York inmate 23B2641, born 1990, incarceration intake 06/13/2023 at age 33, parole eligible 05/14/2028, scheduled conditional release 05/14/2033, Full Release 05/14/2038

Manslaughter

Nauman Hussain, the limousine operator convicted earlier of 20 counts of manslaughter for his role in the deadly Oct. 6, 2018 crash, was sentenced to 5 to 15 years in state prison.

The Schoharie County Courthouse is just a few miles from the scene of the wreck. State Supreme Court Justice Peter Lynch handed down the sentence — the maximum allowed under state law.

“I’m familiar with all the facts of this case, and I’m going to render a verdict accordingly,” said Lynch, who last year rejected a plea deal that would have seen Hussain complete community service and receive probation in lieu of prison time for his role in the crash.

Hussain, the operator of Prestige Limousine & Chauffeur Service — the Wilton-based company, owned by his father, which rented the stretched 2001 Ford Excursion SUV, that would later crash after suffering catastrophic brake failure, to a group of 17 friends from the Amsterdam area to attend a birthday celebration in Cooperstown — did not speak during the proceedings.

He sat silently with his head down, handcuffed, wearing bright orange prison garb, as family members spoke for more than an hour.

All 17 passengers, the vehicle’s driver and two bystanders were killed after the vehicle’s brakes failed as it descended a steep hill on state Route 30, before crossing the intersection of Route 30A at speeds in excess of 100 mph, striking a vehicle in the parking lot of the Apple Barrel Country Store and coming to rest in a culvert.

Some raised questions about what role Hussain’s father, Shahed, played in the crash and whether his past ties to the FBI as an informant allowed the family to circumvent state and federal vehicle registration and inspection laws that could have prevented the wreck. Shahed Hussain was not in the country at the time of the crash and has never been charged in connection to the incident.

The FBI provided families of those killed in the crash a briefing about their handling of Shahed Hussain a few days before sengencing, but several have said questions remain about whether he used his connections with the agency to avoid persecution.

The sentencing comes two weeks after a jury convicted Hussain of second-degree manslaughter following a seven-day trial that was initially expected to last up to six weeks, but almost never happened at all.

Hussain, in 2021, accepted a plea deal to 20 counts of criminally negligent homicide that would have seen him escape jail time and instead serve probation and community service.

But Judge Lynch rejected to deal at a sentencing hearing, offering Hussain the option to serve 1 1/3 to 4 years in prison or go to trial.

Lynch, who called the deal “completely disingenuous and unacceptable to this court,” began overseeing the trial after Schoharie County Court Judge George Bartlett III, who approved the plea deal, retired.

The crash was caused by a ruptured rear brake line that rendered the vehicle’s back brakes inoperable and caused the front brakes to overheat and melt. The master brake cylinder was determined to be working at the time of the wreck.

Toyota Yaris Ranking

Because I am definitely not having a Moment about the Yaris I have decided to create a personal ranking from best to worst yaris model. This is just my personal opinion based on my own biases.

For the sake of simplicity, I won't rate the facelifts separately and instead only rank the entire model generation.

1 Yaris P1 1999-2006

The OG. The cuddle bug that graced the world and said "I WILL get you from A to B no matter what you do to me". Change its oil and it's happy.

2 GR Yaris 2020-

The cool little brother. The GR set out to fulfil the question we all wanted to be answered, "What if Yaris but fast as fuck".

Makes the old TR and RS variants sweat, and even people who previously scuffed at the Yaris do a double take.

Kind of looks like it has this dentist push-your-lips-away device on. Angry hamster.

3 Yaris XP9 2005-2011

As a reviewer put it, the second gen is an example of "sophisticated blandness". It's a car. It drives you places. The interior features are good enough for people who just want to have a car.

It takes all of this with a friendly face. Its circular body refined with a few chosen body lines to break up the shape make for a car that got a participation trophy at a sports event.

It's just happy to be included.

Fun fact: I have that model

4 Yaris XP21 2020-

Final evolution (for the time being). Lost some of the no-thoughts-head-empty charm of the older Yari. Manta ray inspired front is somewhat unique in today's angry faced car world. Wants to look like the GR, but not that much.

5 Yaris Verso/FunCargo XP10 1999-2005

What SUVs could have been. Toyota themselves called this an MPV- Multi-Purpose-Vehicle. This micro-van can bring your kid to school and then work on a construction site on the same day.

Get yourself a Yaris that can do it all. Looks like a stretched P1. What it basically is.

6 Yaris Sedan/Vios/Belta XP90 2007-2013

Looks neat. A hatchback-limousine based on the original Yaris, and spiritual successor of the Toyota Echo.

Same charm as the XP9. Looks just happy to be of service. That's a lot of names for one car though. Like the Echo, it's not available in Europe :(

Other generations of the Yaris Belta drop the Yaris part, being sold as "just" Toyota Vios/Belta which is why they're not on this list.

7 Yaris XP13 2010-2020

The awkward middle evolution. The XP21 also has a wild design, but this is just... no. I don't like this. All I see is Steve Harvey's block of a moustache but car.

At least the back looks neat.

-100 Yaris Cross

Why the fuck make a small car an SUV. Kill it with fire. Throw it in a ditch. IDK just make it leave. This is an insult to the original Yaris. I want to buy a ticket to Japan and murder whoever is responsible for this piece of shit.

The Yaris Verso was right there. Why not modernise that and release it. Don't tell me the reason I know why they did this I don't like it though.

Honourable Mention: Daihatsu Charade 2011-2013

Hail Mary by Toyota's struggling daughter in the European market. They called this Charade because it's literally just the XP9F pretending that it's not.

Quicksand - ALTERNATIVE

If you haven't read Quicksand up to chapter 5 you're going to be terribly confused.

Fem Reader x Sir Crocodile

CW: Language, violence, blood, moral ambiguity, murder, sexual themes and situations, yandere, angst with a happy ending, a referenced instance of physical abuse. 18+ only

ADDITIONAL CW: Dub-con, kidnapping, imprisonment

The alternative version picks up at Chapter 6- there's a lot of overlap for the first few chapters as the story slowly peels away from the original. The alternative chapters explore Sir Crocodile's yandere tendencies in a setting where the reader rejects him (vs the original where she never ran).

You can read it as it posts to Tumblr, or sate your curiosity on AO3 // Wattpad immediately.

Chapter 8: Feathered

Between Alvida's behavioral report, and the images you had found of him yourself, you had expected Doflamingo's appearance to be, well, ostentatious. Instead, the tall blonde-haired man who stepped out of the sleek limousine was anything but. If not for his rather trademark glasses, you would've had your doubts you were dealing with the right person.

His suit was tailored, an eggshell cream color jacket with a soft pastel pink tie, and a bright white pocket square that was a very subtle contrast to the suit and matched the shirt under the jacket. Pale cherry-brown leather shoes pulled it all together. You weren't sure if he was trying to go under the radar, or if he was trying to throw people off on purpose, though you assumed the latter.

"Mr. Donquixote, my name is Miss (F/N) (L/N), and I've been assigned to act as your guide and liaison over the next two days. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to make your stay a positive one." You say with a professional tone and smile.

There was the slightest pause before an amused grin spread across his face. "It seems I am in your capable hands, my dear, and please call me Doffy."

"Would you like a tour of the casino first, or I can show you to your suite if you prefer. We can even review the auction venue for tomorrow if you'd rather." You offer, glancing at your phone as though you had a list on it. You remember things well enough on your own but referencing something else - an electronic or a clipboard - gives you a natural way to break eye contact.

It also gives the impression that you aren't only available for him and his whims, and that you have enough going on that you need references and reminders to keep track of things. These actions came very naturally, since you've used them repeatedly during your job, and not just because of today.

"I would prefer something to eat," he says, and you can feel his eyes on you even if you can't see them through the lenses. "I've heard there's quite the restaurant within the casino."

"Indeed, there is," you reply, internally twitching. He was one of those sorts, trying to throw things off by requesting an option not provided. You glance at your phone again, this time with the legit need to check the time. "Lunch is ending in a few minutes, but they'll be changing over for the dinner menu shortly. If we go to your suite and then head to the restaurant, they'll be changed over entirely, and your dining experience will be more pleasant. Is this acceptable?"

"It is, Miss (L/N)." His words are even, but there's a flicker of a frown on his face you barely catch.

You escort him to his suite, giving a brief explanation of where things are located based on his needs. Such as which direction would take him to the auction area, where the restaurant was, and a basic breakdown of the casino's layout. You even offer that you would be happy to provide a more guided tour of any of the locations if he requested.

Once he walked through his suite and seemed satisfied you took him to the restaurant.

"This is Catherina, she'll be your server this evening." You introduce a young lady to him and turn toward her. "Please be sure to provide our guest with priority service, Mr. Donquixote Doflamingo is a VIP and is the benefactor of tomorrow's auction."

"Yes Miss (Y/N)," Catherina replies promptly.

"I'll return when your meal is finished," you begin.

"I would like for you to join me, Miss (Y/N)." His interruption is surprisingly smooth, and the change from your last name to your preferred name doesn't go unnoticed. You suspect he would like to drop the 'Miss' entirely, but he seems to be trying to match your pace while trying to pull you into his.

It's a far more subtle strategy than you had anticipated, and some part of it tugs at you. You should be deflecting it, you should be walking away with a smile and a promise to return, timing things so you come up just in time for dessert, softening your earlier departure even more.

Instead you sit across from him, only the barest hint of frustration upon your face. “I cannot promise I will be adequate company, Mister-.”

“Doffy, please.” He says, sliding into your sentence again.

“… Doffy, but I will accept.”

The hardest part of dinner with Doflamingo was in only pretending to enjoy it. The man’s control of a conversation was comforting, and he wasn’t nearly as egotistical as you had expected. He managed to not only get you to speak about yourself but seemed to take a valid interest in you. If not for the write up from Alvida and your own instincts, you would’ve fallen for every subtly sweet word. It was very easy to imagine waking up in the man’s bed to the sound of the shower running, with no clear recollection of how you ended up in his room, let alone his bed.

You had no desire to repeat the escape of last weekend, especially not from another Warlord, and that was enough to help you keep your feet right where you wanted them. You enjoyed the meal for what it was, and even allowed yourself to enjoy Doflamingo’s company – for what it was as well. Little more than a game and a diversion.

You were tempted to allow some kind of valid connection form, but it would be for you to use the Warlord in leaving the metro. The price of using a man such as Doflamingo felt entirely too hefty for your liking however, so you dismissed the entire idea completely.

After the meal – no dessert thank you, you were full enough - you took him on a tour through the casino, and then to inspect the auction venue. You even came across Buggy, and were surprised to see no introduction was needed. Buggy said that Doflamingo was one of his business contact's contact. They didn't know each other directly, but through the same shared contact they had come to know of each other.

You were delighted to know this connection is why Buggy worked to have the auction take place at the West Branch, instead of the originally decided upon Southern location. You made a mental note to put salt in Buggy's coffee for every hour you had spent having to work with Dandy to get ready for the event. He might even have salty coffee for some weeks after he starts his own business because of it.

And that didn’t even touch whatever cost you felt necessary to charge with Sir Crocodile’s arrival tomorrow.

At the end of the evening, you provided Doflamingo with your direct work cell, in case he found himself in need of anything, and then politely excused yourself. You could feel those eyes on you as you walked away, and you did absolutely nothing to tempt him. No hip wiggle, no backward glance – there was no way you were going to let even the slightest thing slip after hours of bantering with him.

You went to a room that had been reserved for you for the next couple nights and grabbed a quick shower before grabbing a breakfast bar for dinner. You had to maintain your professionalism for the next 24 hours, so you laid out fresh clothes and turned the ringer up on your work cell before making a comfortable pile of pillows that you could nap against for the night.

. . . . .

Before you knew it you were up to your neck in sand. It was warm and rough, shifting against your body and denying you any capacity to move. You weren’t sinking, but panic was gripping you for how deeply you were buried in it, you only had to slip a little further down and you’d be completely submerged in sand.

Hot and dry it seems to caress your body, pressing against your legs and trailing down your back, neither pulling you down, nor pushing you up. The actions are almost tender and the pleasurable jolts it sends through your panicked body are impossible to ignore. Soft, desperate, needy, and concerned moans slipped past your lips.

The pleasure begins to build, outpacing the panic as the sand holds you firmly in place. You weren’t going to sink any further, he wasn’t going to let you, but you weren’t going to be released either. Held captive, encased in sand and warmth and desire, unable and nearly unwilling to escape.

Sand slipped under your clothes, caressing the sensitive parts of your body with a soft gentleness that belied the rough texture of it all. Soft gasps turn to deeper, heavier moans, your body begins shivering in pleasure against your immobility.

Darkness fills your sight, a warmth over your eyes, the soft click of heavy rings as hot and demanding lips capture your own. Pleasure pushes into your body with more force as you return the demanding kiss. It was his kiss, deep in your dreams, deep in your body, and even deeper in your need.

“More,” you murmur in the breathless dark haze of pleasure that was taking you. “More… please.”

If your mind wanted you to sink into the pleasure of him you would indulge it. Anything for a moment of release from the ache in your heart, the sorrow of two months of joy, the insurmountable fear of being pulled into his world. So in this dream you would indulge.

The sands of Rain Dinner take you, shaped like its founder, and you let them. Beg them. Cry into them. Apologize to them. Sink deeper and deeper into the pleasure until you’re exhausted from your toes to your fingers, laid out gently on soft clouds and prompted to rest by the soft, warm sand.

Sand that smells painfully of citrus and smoke.

Timmy!

I'm on a quest to ask people the story/reason behind their tumblr username and this was especially because of a friend who has a username that reads like a poem. Now I'm just asking people with usernames that sound lovely and intriguing.

Is it okay if i ask the story behind yours 👀. If it's too private of a question, I'm sorry for the ask and please feel free to ignore 🥺.

Aw, that's cute :D

It all started when I was circa 16, sitting on a doorstep in December at about 2 AM because my sister was still at the party and I've forgotten to ask her for the keys. And instead of walking the 2 blocks to fetch the keys like a normal person, the introverted little me decided she'd rather stay out in the snow in a short dress and a big coat.

I was into manga and yaoi at the time, and have been playing with the idea of doing fan translations (from english to my native, because I've read fan translations of the Shaman King and could clock the translating errors as well as how they came to be and I knew I could do better), so I've decided to look up fan groups and offer my services. I did find a site, haar.cz, and they were recruiting translators and editors. So I made up a random nick - Limetka - submitted the application form and then read yaoi mangas until my sis came with the keys and let us in.

Limetka means lime, so that's where that part of my nick comes from. It became the base of many of my following nicknames: Limousine on a rp forum (Limetka and Lime both were taken), and LimeOfMagicLimo on Ao3.

the "timo" part came randomly, as I don't like havnig numbers in my users, but needed something uniqe that wasn't taken already.

oh and my icon comes form my haar era too,

the little ghost kreachure was a fan favourite lol

Millions of business and leisure travelers visit the U.S. every year, and navigating through cities like New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania can be a daunting task, especially for first-time visitors. One of the most challenging aspects of traveling is getting from point A to point B safely and on time.

Booking a Manhattan limousine lets you bypass those long lines entirely, making your trip more efficient and stress-free.

Enhancing the Party Experience

Transportation can significantly impact the overall experience of your celebration. To elevate the party atmosphere even further, consider incorporating the following elements into your transportation plans.

Themed Decor

If you’re using a party bus or limousine, consider adding themed decorations to enhance the visual appeal of the ride.
