Sorry to hear that work is rough for SB. It seems to me that when the government tries to rush things (and often when they don't), it's the people on the actual front lines of implementation that have to iron out the wrinkles. (On a positive note - I checked my bank account and we actually...

Right?!? The hospital system that I work for announced that they are going to offer "in-house" haircuts to employees. You must bring (and wear) your own mask/face covering. Now, to be fair they have been trying to help employees out in a number of ways (more in my blog) - but I really don't...

Perfectly fine place for this! (As a woman who lives with two men "sharing and caring" for me, I can tell you that such situations are not out of the question - for the right combination of people!:D)

I like "Bad Orange Man" - even kids know who you are talking about.:cool:

Hello and welcome to the Forums! Glad to have you with us and to hear your story when you are ready to share it (A lot of us use the blogs section for that purpose.) Feel free to browse, read, post, question - I hope you find what you seek.:) JaneQ

I've been reading about how people are coping with the pandemic, but I don't have a lot to add. In truth, our lives at home don't look terribly different - so it is easy to forget, home in my little nest, how shaken up the rest of the world is. My sister set up a Zoom meeting for the family...

Oh, Jeesh! WTF is wrong with people! It's like people want to throw themselves into a panic and then don't follow through and actually do the things that could mitigate what they fear. :cool:

I am going to take this out of context to ask - Why does it sound like you are asking that like it is a bad thing? "a relationship that is going nowhere" - where, exactly, does it need to go? Why is stepping off the relationship escalator right here a bad thing? What destination are you...

Just to give a different perspective, this is how I would respond to your sexual preferences as they would or would not intersect with my own. (Personally, in no way speaking for other women!) Congratulations on learning something that is great for you! It's the "extended period of time"...

Question. You posted on Bluebird's blog: It seems to me that you have commented several times about how Bluebird "doesn't work" in her thread and it leads me to believe that you may think that "having an income" is the only material way to contribute to a relationship/family/household? In my...

Just a footnote to this: it does vary from state to state. In the state that I live in, for example, any baby born to a married woman is automatically the husband's child unless she chooses to name a biological father on the birth certificate. Just to be on the safe side, our plan was for Dude...

That was pretty much our deal when Dude and I got together, except, at the time, I really did want to have a child, which led to some very interesting conversations about the rights of individuals to their own genetic background (family medical history, etc.). But people do use sperm donors...

There are currently no cases in our part of the state - although we know that there will be eventually. We already are pretty isolated and well-stocked up anyway - but Dude did a big Walmart run and all the cupboards and pantries are full (I'd hate to have to break open the 5 gal buckets of...

Just to point out - this does not have to be the aim of every poly relationship if that is not how the participants choose to practice poly. "Swinging back and forth" is a form of parallel poly that suits some relationships much better than others. Even people who participate in...

I am always open to the possibility of another relationship but the fact is that I only rarely meet people that I am interested in pursuing even a friendship with. When I do, then I make time for them in my life. That being said, I consciously keep my outside obligations to an absolute...

Reading Al99s posts may be a good place for you to start - he was able to objectively evaluate his partner's request and ended up seeking poly relationships for himself. You are on a poly board - so most of use are going to be of the mindset that CMN (consensual non-monogamy) beats cheating...

Quoting GG: "I am sorry you struggle." My "messy list" (as GG calls it) is much shorter than most peoples' (from what I have gathered here) - I don't mind dating people that my partners also date but I draw the line at blood relations. For me - I would chalk this up to "opportunity lost"...

I don't know anything about the Ascent but we always have a Subaru in rotation - it was MrS's "condition" if I insist on staying in PA (which I do!:rolleyes:). My current beater is a 2002 Subaru Forester (which is the only car that I have ever bought new) with studded snow-tires (I live off the...

I am sorry that this is so distressing to you :(. From my perspective (an internet stranger who only has the vaguest idea of your situation) it sounds, here, as though you have an expectation of what sex should be like with your hubs based on what you know that it could be like. And that if it...
