Inspired mightily by NeonK's criticism thread, I will make one of my own as the sneaky, all but silent mod comparatively. It's funny to me the wording of "some", "all", or "other" in reference to mod actions. Think of it as a labor union. Motions must be seconded and are sometimes treated with...

I had an interesting conversation with a man I met today who shares a mutual friend with me. Apparently he has "heard things" about me previous to us meeting and took all day (hanging around while my friend and I did a canning project) to come out with the questions he had for me about these...

I log in here almost every day, but seldom have time to stay long or post. Just wanted to say hello to my friends out there, and say that I enjoy reading your posts, and have not fallen off the face of the earth. :) -R

I know this link is ugly, and if it doesn't work out for you, try Hulu in a couple of days and they should have it posted there. I watched this episode last night and thought it interesting that open marriage was so central to the show. If you are familiar with House, you know that it is a show...

I finally put some images in my metalwork picture album if you care to peruse them. :)

I've been wanting to write to you all about what's been happening w/ Catfish and I for a couple of weeks, but I think I needed to process more with him first before I reached out. The time has come for the the real life test of how I will deal with Catfish having a special relationship with...

What I'm thinking about this week: Nietzche's Overman characteristics in relation to experiences I've had, and people I've known, mainly in the context of writing about my 9 month stint in the French Quarter in New Orleans. I have just started my study of existentialism, so I'm not professing...

Any body know about these awesome guys?! I get to go see them for the second time tonight!! They are coming to play a show in my own little hamlet, Kalamazoo, MI. At least 5 friends I know of will be there to dance the night away with D and I. Yay! If you've not listened to their music, and you...

I had a little personal victory yesterday that I'd like to share. I have a friend that I was going to go see in a few weeks- we met in July while I was on vacation and have shared something very special ever since. We had finally agreed on a plan to re-meet and were both excited and nervous...

Hello anew everyone, I see a lot has been going on as I've been focusing on artwork and getting the semester started. I tried to say hello to all who had joined during the last few weeks, but after a page of new member posts, I just don't have time today so to all who didn't get a greeting-...

Polyamory is wrong t-shirt

This whole past month I've been on a break from school and working tirelessly on creating Precious Metal Clay(PMC) jewelry for a show I have coming up on the 19th of this month. Thus my sitting on the computer all day- I keep up with you all as I create in my studio. (I'm a shameless facebook...

I just want to say how much I appreciate James in this thread, and I thought others might want to as well. James- thank you for all of the time you spend caring about us and our life situations. You are obviously a beautiful person, full of compassion, wisdom, tact and wit. Damncatfish and I...

Ahh- hey everybody, thanks for being out there to listen. Writing on here is a really welcome outlet for the successes, failures, and quandaries alike. Sitting down to write this story, I feel relief already, knowing that I'll receive another perspective, knowing that people care. One of the...

This full-length film looks at marriage, sex, monogamy, open marriage and surprise, surprise, poly. http://www.hulu.com/watch/86867/loving-and-cheating

I have been doing lots of reading about polyamory online- searching for what I can find of all aspects of the lifestyle. One thing I have noticed and seen mentioned is that polys are slow to be political/vocal/public with their views, beliefs and life situations. I wonder why this is. Is it...

I have noticed lots of debate going on in here over terms and their definitions. I also notice we have a lot of visitors who are non-members who are probably coming here to learn what this whole thing is all about. If they happen not to stumble on the threads where the terms are...

After the first blissful year, and the months that followed mine and D's wedding, the real intricacies of our inner selves started to come out. There was passionate fighting, great bubbles burst, harsh realities-- in other words, the honeymoon was over. Now we would have to really know one...

I don't even know where to begin. After years of marital discord, isolation and silence, and half-assed conversations about fuller lives in regards to polyamory and other issues, a short time ago, my husband Catfish and I finally had a ground-breaking conversation, when I felt there was nothing...

I have finally allowed myself to embrace the fact that it is not wrong or unusual to love more than one- Hallelujah. I am married to a man I love who didn't even flinch when I brought this up to him. We are just starting to figure out how this will work for us- it is exciting and frightening all...
