Big hugs, Mags... hope the fatigue eases off and with it, the frustration.

STM and "Shit My Dad Says" were two must-reads of mine a few years back. Thanks for the throwback! :D

Not feeling criticized here, either. It's easy for the non-compersive to come across as judgmental as well, I think, so it works both ways. As long as nobody's an asshole about it, it's all good... :)

I'm in Opalescent's camp. I don't "comperse" (hey, if people are going to coin a "-sion" noun, then you get the verb that goes along with it :p ). I'm happy for other people's happiness, but I don't get that immersive, "part of the happiness" feeling that compersion seems to be defined as. Like...

Huh... Only buried down to Page 3 of the Blogs section. Let's dust off the electrons a bit while I wait for some lab equipment, shall we? What has YAH been up to since... um... (looks at previous post) December? Clearly, I've fallen off the planet a bit. For all the good intentions of my...

Jeesh... December already? Let's see... I haven't blogged much (obviously), either here or on my other blog. I had a number of posts for that blog in the hopper, and then... meh. I know part of it is just losing steam at the end of the day. I have to wonder if part of it is due to Xena's...

Yay, nature! Boo, phone! (But yay, Nature! :D )

The smell of freshly-mimeographed paper. Kids these days don't know what they're missing.

I'd be sorely tempted with that 1700s house, too - LOOK AT THOSE WINDOWS! Good luck to you all - I loved house hunting, but it was frustrating at times. What was a godsend was that Chops is a licensed electrician and when I narrowed it down to a few houses I wanted to put offers on, he took a...

This. And they had a likeable candidate and screwed him over. Whether or not he'd have won against Trump (I know people who say that he would have, hands-down, and I know others who say that the "socialist" thing would have taken him down... guess we won't ever know), I think more people would...

Hypothetical example: You live in Kansas and your livelihood depends on the coal mine. You're stuck in a situation in which your income depends upon an unclean fuel, and you see the push for more green alternatives as death to your community. You may be trying to support a family and see this as...

AdultFriendFinder was recently hit with one hell of a data breach. Pay attention to privacy policies and what they do with your data, especially if you're not out as open/poly to everyone: https://www.wired.com/2016/11/hack-brief-412m-accounts-breached-friendfinder-sex-sites/

Here's one story illustrating a town in Maine that flopped from voting for Obama to voting for Trump, and why: http://www.pressherald.com/2016/11/13/why-one-town-turned-to-trump/ Sounds like the Dems have lost touch with a large base of people who used to traditionally vote for them... not just...

They sense more than we realize at the time. Hugs, RP. I do find it weird when Patches licks my ear, but I just kinda go with it for a while. I probably just smell bad and she's trying to clean me up. ;)

Haven't been on the board much lately, but definitely wanted to check in. Big hugs, but I'm glad you have someone to talk to in Ohio Guy. Any guy who sends pics of himself with cats is faboo in my book. :)

Hugs, Spork (if you want 'em). I remember feeling the same way after mine was final. My ex actually walked with me to the cars and asked if I wanted to go get lunch to celebrate. "Uh... no. I have to get back to work." WTF, people... Glad you're having fun with the music and it can give you a...

I kick myself every damned time I comment on a friend whose posts are public, because other friends see my comment and just comment along, without realizing they have no idea who the original poster is. I love it when it leads to political arguments that I never meant to be involved in, much...

Well shit, Mags... Big hugs. <3 Here's hoping you get your doctor's attention with respect to the potential hormonal imbalance and your adrenal gland. It's *so* aggravating to feel like you're not being heard. Once Chops and I get back from our trip, let's work out a time/day for us to come...

Five years here, and pretty much "this" (although I think my first year was forming AND storming - Gah!). It takes time, and it DOES feel like you're rehashing the same material over and over (and over (and over)) sometimes. For me, it was a side-effect of peeling the onion. I'd understand some...

I see a lot of this as well. I wonder if we notice it more because we're sensitive to it, like folks who get a new car suddenly noticing the number of people driving that same car when they never did before. Sometimes, even the folks who are "poly gurus" echo similar sentiments, which gets...
