#KnowledgeBomb: Tree frogs and their babies

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @JenSquard

There are millions of amazing tree frog images out there, because they are one of the most brilliantly colored species on the planet.  There are tons and tons of different species, all with unique behaviors and morphology, but the one thing they have in common is their life in the trees.  

Tree frogs spend the majority of their life up in trees, and generally only come down to land to mate and spawn.  They all have big pads on their phalanges (fingers and toes) that help them stick to the tree and leaves.  This allows them to climb upside down, go down a tree head first, and cling to leaves through wind and rain.  

They have a wide variety of predators, like snakes and birds, but some are toxic (hence the wild colors).  They eat bugs and blend into their surroundings.  

Okay, enough of the boring stuff, here is my favorite part of tree frogs.  This doesn’t apply to all of them, but some of the species will climb down to the forest floor to mate and spawn, then once their cute little babies turn into tiny tadpoles, they attach them to their back (some species it is the male that does this, in others its the female) and carry them up to have them develop in the canopy.  

Some species do it one at a time, but others attach them all and carry them up together.   They take their precious cargo up to plants called bromeliads - they are plants that catch water in pools and live up in the canopy - they grow off of other trees.  Imagine the top of a pineapple, but filled with water.  They take the babies and drop them in there for them to have shelter, food and a wet place to grow.  Some tadpoles are cannibals so they put one baby per pool, but some plop them all in there together.  It’s also thought to help increase the survival rate of the babies since they don’t have to make the journey up to the top of the trees when they are ready.  I totes magotes got to see this firsthand when we were in Ecuador, and it BLEW MY MIND.

#TMI: My husband wants to have a three-way

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @JenSquard

I don’t know about this.  And I’m sure this is entirely too much info, but who else am I going to talk to about?  So you are stuck with it!  Bwaaahahahaha!

We have talked about this before, but he dropped it when I reminded him that he would have to watch another guy (um, yeah, cause that’s the ONLY way it would even be remotely possible) pleasuring me.  I gave him all sorts of visuals, and didn’t hear anything about it for a while....but lately...we talk about it A LOT. 

Here’s the weird thing - he is okay with just about anything as long as he is there for it.  He considers oral sex to be similar to kissing - so not a big deal.  Um, wrong.  So basically as long as he is there and I want to makeout or blow or get blown, it’s okay.  He just wants to be able to see and approve of it and have the option of joining. 

I’m not convinced about all of this.  Maybe it’s because I’m a chick.  Maybe it’s because of our history (get the rundown here).  Either way, threesomes and groupies sound fun until you are in love with someone, then not so much.  He says its because its naughty...and that watching me be pleasured turns him on.  I just know it makes our sex life feel a little inadequate.  I get the whole naughty thing....but I also get the aftermath, the insecurities and the major issues it would most likely create.

I would really appreciate some feedback on this one.  Have you had a groupy?  How do you feel about it?  Any advice or input?  Am I just being a sensitive boob or is it actually a lot to take in?

#NaughtyMommy Happenings: Kids can be fun!

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @JenSquard

Sometimes having kids is a bummer.  They can be a major pain in the buns, and it is the most time consuming, stressful and thankless job on the planet.  Butttttttt, sometimes it is AWESOME!  Anika and I just had a little makeup session, and she did a pretty good job!  She's three...girls are fun!

#DigitalShort: Do The Creep

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @JenSquard

If you are constantly seeing "do the creep" posts and comments, or hearing people mentioning "the creep" but have no idea what they are talking about....well here you go.  The Creep:

@NormMacDonald still has it going on - and #rocked my world!

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @JenSquard

The town I live in doesn’t usually get good shows in any medium or genre.  We have two giant concert series every year that get major headliners, but outside of country and rock we get a lot of nothing.  But last night.....Norm MacDonald.  Yeah, that just happened.

The show was GREAT.  So soooo good, he totally delivered and lived up to expectations.  He is a dirty man!  And I loved every single second of his nastiness.  My favorite thing about Norm is he is massively scattered - he starts a joke, wanders off to a different story, goes back to it, and then remembers what he was talking about ten minutes later, but it’s all seamless.  Not even kidding, I just wanted to pinch his face right off the entire time.  He's just like the crotchety nasty old man that says wild things and endlessly talks about cheese sandwiches and cocks, but you can't stop listening.  And we got a treat - he went waaayyyyy over schedule, it was amazing.  His opening act was pretty frickin funny, too.  

My favorite bit by Norm was this super long joke about masterbating on women’s feet and that weird fetish.  There was a lot of masterbation talk, but the foot thing just killed me.  I totally dated a guy that had a foot thing.  Yikes.

But yeah, Norm still has it.  He is funny as hell and had my hubby giggling like a school girl the entire night.  I mostly skipped giggling and went straight to crying.  Good good stuff.  And now I feel like I'm one step closer to My Adam.  *sigh*
