Greetings brother eunuchs! Finally joined EA

[Brycenosak (imported)]

Time to introduce myself! I'm 56years old, single, divorced, self employed eunuch/male. I live in the bay of plenty, New Zealand. I have perused the EA for years and decided, due to my experience, I must join. I hope I can have a positive contributions to our community. I guess I have always had an interest in testicles, growing up on a farm and enjoying their contribution to my evolution as a man and a father. In '98, with two lovely children, I and my wife, decided we wanted freedom from contraception. The vasectomy worked, but started a 4 year battle with severe orchalgia. From 'we can remove these bits' to 'its all in your mind' Long story. August 2002, radical bilateral orchidectomy. New Zealand my be innovative in alot of things, but male health is not one them? Any way, I'm still here. Lots of water under the bridge, etc. Ask me anything. For me, I wonder if there are any EA members who live in NZ. Cheers, Bryce

Anything? okay, two things. Peter Jackson filmed The Lord of the Rings in your country. That does not mean you are anywhere near where he did the filming. I certainly do not wish to pry, only so far as "Do you live near where they filmed?" My other question is also Geographical, as I once saw a picture of something called Champagne Lake. Several rings of colors on the shore, and the lake itself was pure sulfuric acid. (I had heard Battery acid, but I have my doubts on whether you could dump the stuff right into your battery without consequences.)

Hi there Eunuchorn, Most of the lord of the rings was filmed in the south island. More than 1000km from here. There is Hobbiton, which is a purpose built tourist attraction, Matamata is about 100km away. Yes there is the Champagne pool. I live on the volcanic plateau, not far from Rotorua. There is volcanic activity everywhere. I dont think the Champagne pool is 'pure' sulfuric acid. It is certainly stunning. There are other evil pools, which are so acid or alkali that a body would dissolve in hours!! Check out some films directed by Taika Waiteti. He's very good. recently is Thor, Ragnarok, brilliant! (like your picture)

Hi there! Welcome to the forum. I have a question of my own: are the livestock practices for New Zealand cows as exemplary as claimed on the internet?

[Brycenosak (imported)]

Thanks, NZ is a stunning place, you'l love it

[Brycenosak (imported)]

Thanks from across the tasman. What part of Aus are you from?

[Brycenosak (imported)]

Hey, yep, we love our animals. Cows are grass or grass product fed. Our butter is yellow. My brother lives in the states, says his butter is white. The dairy industry is run by the giant Fonterra. There is a problem with farming practice affecting our waterways, and apparently their farts contribute to the 'green house gases' There is always the odd lowlife that gets done for cruelty, though very rare and they get thrown in jail. cheers
