Personal Gratification


If you were expecting a dissertation on the finer points of masturbation you are in for a disappointment.

There are other ways to experience personal gratification that has nothing to do with sex at all. Matter of fact I was soaring so high on it my feet havn't touched the ground yet.

Last saturday at the local veterans hospital here in my city, they held their yearly veterans carnival. Whoaaa you ask, what kind of carnival can they have at a hospital, well allow me to tell you one hell of a blast!! thats what. This was my first time, and I can't wait for next year!!

All the local groups, like Order of the Purple Heart, Marine Corp. Aux. and my own group BLue Star Mothers to name a few were present. Each had one or more 8ft. long tables to set up what they are going to ultimately distribute to the patients from the hospital. Mine was socks and teeshirts.

As I was standing setting things up, I could hear a very loud roar, wondering where it was coming from I turned to see the glorious sight of about 20 motorcycles riding down the roadway and turning into the hospital driveway. In less than 2 minutes, they had those beautiful big bikes, stopped, and backed up, and parked in a lovely row side by side.

They were the LeatherNecks a veteran biker group of marines from the Nam and Korean war, and probably some from Desert Storm. They were there to help with the patients so everyone could come out and have fun.

At the designated time, patients were wheeled out to go thru the long horseshoe line, with goodie bags at the ready,sorta like trick or treat at halloween. They stopped and had a few words, and got their gift at each table, and every one of them wore a smile as wide as the Mississippi!!.

There was a 3 piece band that was there playing and damn if they weren't just totally awesome!!!

The patients, not on dialysis also got a nice big fat hot with condiments, a bag of chips, ice cream, popcorn, smoothies and a whole lot of hugs and smiles.

For those Patients, that were unable to come out for the day, bags were carried thru the line, one for each patient, and then the bag was delivered to their bedside, by these lovely bikers.

The day flew, time wasn't even measured, and I can't wait for next year to do this all over, because the personal gratification I got, seeing those smiles, and giving out a generous amount of hugs is overwhelming.

God bless our veterans!! for their sacrifice, their service to our country, for without them we would be nowhere.

VERY happy Lady

I think what you did is absolutely fantastic. Why is it that so many people don't understand the meaning of satisfacition unless it is all about themselves? To give a smile to all of those people and to know that for some of them this is the highlight of a whole year must have been so personally gratifing. What a true sight it must have been to see the expressions of all those involved.
