And my weak attempt to take “ebay” off of Paul’s collar.   You can still see some of it.

Realizing that I do in fact have rare-ish photos of the Beatles in my possession (I mean I’ve seen only one of the dozen photos I have out there and that was with the wrong info) and if I post them people will instantly save and repost.

Not to mention the fact that the majority of the info I found was in a completely different language and I myself had to translate what was a three page article. And sometimes the translations made absolutely no fucking sense so I had to sit there thinking for at most an hour and try to figure out what they were trying to say. I spent a literal total of about two months searching for all the info I could find.

So it’s either keep the photos to myself or post and have people (a certain blog in mind) repost without even credit to me in the tags for working my ass off on finding the info.

Or-----you can get involved with the underground Beatle photo traders.   Tons of rare photos are flying around on the down-low with the promise of not sharing them with anyone.    Just sayin’.   Sad that a lot of us photo people had to start trading among ourselves because people keep posting and not crediting.  

I have been there with the translation bit as well.  I feel your pain!

Guess what she did.

Seriously, guess what she did

[swayingdaysies]

She blocked me and told me I know nothing of the Beatles.

For calling out that she might be wrong.

And this is what is wrong with (some) of the Beatles fans today.  Instead of working against each other, we should be working TOGETHER to find the answer the questions.

IT HAPPENED TO ME: I Waited Until My Wedding Night to Lose My Virginity and I Wish I Hadn’t [x]

This is a long read but it’s interesting. Really sad though.

[meetthebeatlesforreal]

I had to double check and make sure this wasn’t written by me.   This is totally my story except for mine ended way differently.

The husband that I had waited for was not understanding.   He was confused.  And my feelings towards sex at that time made him no longer sexually attracted to me.   He first started to hide porn and use it to fulfill his needs instead of me.  Next was a prostitute and then finally a full blown affair.   We were divorced and finally began to really, truly think about my own sexuality.     Being a Christian, I realized that I had been sheltered from sex.    I had never watched porn, read Cosmo magazine, and I turned my head away during love scenes on television.  If I told anyone things that I thought (while married mind you) about sex, it is embarassing.    I was told that you waited until you were married God would bless you and you would just automatically know what to do.    After I was divorced, I began to read more and just educate myself.    I have never turned my back on God and I still love Jesus, but I think sexuality in the church HAS to change.      I know that my  brothers and sisters in Christ would disagree with me and tell me that I am going to Hell.    God made us sexual creatures.   I cannot see how it is was in His will for me to go through the marriage I had.    I do not know if I had lost my virginity before I got married if things would have been different, but I can’t help but think that it would.
