&lt;strong&gt;Too Tight &amp;amp;
Caught&lt;/strong&gt;
by Ellie&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I shouldn&amp;rsquo;t have skipped those extra links in the chain.  The pull
on my balls was just too much!  Had to get free and release the load
they held.  Maybe I should explain why I did this to myself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The biggest employer in my home town had been bought out by a big conglomerate
and they had pretty well shut things down while they figured out what to
do with it.  That put me and a lot of other guys out of work. 
I was lucky to get a job in a large city about 400 miles from home. 
Unfortunately, selling the house back there was impossible. There were
100&amp;rsquo;s of homes on the market, and no one was buying.  That meant the
family stayed there and I looked for a cheap place to live here. 
At least I could get home every couple of weeks.  The new job meant
a lot of travel so I was either on the road or home for the weekend.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
