    Hey Evie, I second the idea of looking up the airport beforehand. So some handy info for flying INTO the USA- Do's and Don'ts: Do: - make sure all your visa's are squared away. -Wear easy to take off shoes international flights usually want you to step out of shoes, take off belts, coats...

    Thanks so much Evie, yes I am also praying he turns it around. I'm also VERY excited for your trip. I hope your energy levels stay ok, and you don't burn out and have a fabulous time over there. :) I'm rooting for both of you. Also, I totally related to your recent post, I get so much more done...

    Living Truthfully Within

    Today I've had a minute to write down some thoughts. The last therapy session is playing in my mind. I feel almost ready to pursue a second relationship. The biggest hurdle will be seeing if I get this job full time going forward so that I can manage my own finances. Arbor and I hit a few...

    So the renewal of energy since my traumatic October is lasting! I contacted covid over thanksgiving, cruised through it with mild symptoms. I'm update to date on all my shots and boosters, including my flu shot. I think I really have been cured from M.E. after that incident in October. Since...

    It's been a wild two weeks over here people. First is my grandma died. I got to be there at the end at the hospital. It was..and is very hard for me with that right now. I am glad she's not in pain. The funeral was on the 7th. It was a beautiful viewing, and she was cremated. I spent time with...

    All my ducks are in order. Temporary renters move out on the 1st, new renters move in on the 2nd. They are hopefully going to be long term. Got two possible forgiveness plan options set up for October / December for my default FAFSA (Very small amount of 2k.) But it looks like I will be approved...

    Gosh I have so much to update since that last post. Short version: The house sell fell through and I found out some pretty serious structural issues with the roofing that will need to be repaired. Arborist is moved in. Grandma is in home health care. My bio-mom, step dad, and grandma all moved...

    So just so I dont forget I need to write down what my mother has done the last few weeks, months and years. It's important to me because I'm an over-forgiving person. And if I forgive then I move on and let it go, and I rarely think about it. I like my life to be peaceful. These are in no...

    Living Truthfully Within

    This last week has been tough. The roe vs wade turn around and so many shifts and changes going on. But first the story that happened up till now. Three days before Arbor came out my grandma was admitted into hospital. She had two major infections (e.coli and valley fever) on top of her cancer...

    Living Truthfully Within

    Only a few short days and I have a whole week with Arbor. So freaking excited. I need a break so bad I can't stand it. Life has been caring, work, caring, work, caring, work, sleep, and rinse wash repeat. It will be amazing to do some fun things together and spend time away from normal day to...

    You absolutely could Evie! I have an author friend who went to china for a year, she's in her 60's. She's had incredible support there, its a small town and the company she's with actually helped her get closer to town to be able to not have to commute on a bike long distance. It seems like...

    Get feeling better soon Evie. I'm glad it's not long-covid but I agree with Magdlyn, more research on what it could be is needed because I don't think it can be couched under just "perimenopause".

    GalaGirl: Conversations Already in Progress.

    That's a really good list for the future of deciding close friends and/or lovers, and those who don't make it past your outside circles. :) I hope you're able to find that in the future what you need. I think it will be harder (mostly) to find that in younger people because the whole point of...

    Living Truthfully Within

    Update: I am becoming a virtual leader. All those skills I learned in gaming I'm turning into the work world, its transitioning really well! I now only game with my BF Arbor on a really casual basis on our date nights. We do virtual board games mostly. Or talk. Sometimes he even helps me with...

    Contextual Glossary, focus on closed polyamory

    I'm sorry I didn't touch on the emotional stuff, just the technical stuff. I'm still mulling it over, and by the time I come back you have such fabulous well thought our replies on people far more experienced in long term committed [HEALTHY] relationships than I. So, I stuck with factual. :)

    Contextual Glossary, focus on closed polyamory

    Then maybe you're looking more for Kitchen Table Polyamory, with men willing to date and share you exclusively. However, if you approach men that way from the get go- and are not familiar with polyamory; yeah it would be unfair; they might go "Well how come I can't date too?" But it is...

    Contextual Glossary, focus on closed polyamory

    In the literary world / media it would be a Harem if the man has many women, or a Reverse Harem if the woman has many men. In the poly world context, it would be a "Vee" or "Where you are center and the others (called The Hinges) are not romantically involved." The next type is the word Triad...
