I live in Utah and since Black Butte Porter has more than a 3.2% alcohol to volume ratio (or whatever it is), it is only carried at the state run liquor store and a few bars, so essentially only sold by the bottle here. We have a limited amount of Deschutes other beers here, but I've enjoyed...

I love dark beers. Give me a porter or a stout any day over lighter beers, though I do like some IPAs and I love lemon shanties, especially in the summer. My absolute favorite beer is the Black Butte Porter by Deschutes brewery.

I think this second to last sentence is part of the issue I personally have with the world view of a lot of people who are into poly fidelity (sorry if it seems like I'm picking on you Cardinal, I'm not, you just provided the words that made me think of this). Just because I don't identify as...

Ikea (and Walmart) have little tables with screw on legs for under $10 a piece. They're really simple but if it were a choice of getting those or no bed side tables, I'd get those until you can afford to buy the ones you want. Especially since PunkRock has sleep apnea. It's really annoying to...

The vacation hold for mail can now be done online, instead of only at the post office like it used to be. Just FYI, in case, like me with the vacation we took a few years ago, you hadn’t thought to check. I ran out of energy and time before our vacation last spring to go to the post office, so I...

I had an abnormal pap smear last year and tested positive for HPV. I have two partners, each of whom have other partners. Both of my partners didn't think it was that big of a deal and my one metamore that I heard feedback from just wanted to know which clinic I went to, since I ended up being...

You're welcome. Getting a little tipsy didn't seem to be a problem (like a glass of wine or a bottle of beer), however, if I'd get too close to drunk, I'd start feeling weird mentally, almost like a ringing in my ears, but the effect was a ringing in my brain, if that makes any sense. I never...

I took gabapentin for a while for my fibromyalgia. It helped a lot with the pain. I don't remember being sleepy or mentally fuzzy on it, so if that happened, it didn't last long. The side effect that I had, that made it so I asked my doctor to change to Lyrica, which is a newer version of...

I am so glad that the post isn't about you and Rider. The whole thing presented Sandy in such a cruel way, that I'd hate for it to be anyone I know. I'm glad that things are going better with you and Rider.

Around the time that you first started posting about how you asked Rider to basically have monogamy plus, back in January, a post appeared on Fetlife's Poly & Kinky group asking questions for a friend about a situation that was so similar to yours that I was pretty sure it was a friend of...

I do realize a lot of your posts are you talking through your feelings. I just wanted to point out the trend I saw because a similar habit caused rifts in my marriage and if helping you notice that you are tending towards that helps you avoid a similar situation, I'd be happy. Assuming at least...

I think it's totally normal for him to want to talk to someone who isn't emotionally invested in the situation. He wants to process how he's feeling and explore his emotions without having to take into account someone else's emotions around the situation. That takes someone who isn't involved in...

The Daily Mail is on par with the National Enquirier in terms of the type of newspaper it is. It's tabloid journalism.

My therapist recommended the book Self Compassion by Kristen Neff. I'm a lot like you, really judgmental about myself but kind and compassionate to others. My therapist really likes this book for situations like that and it definitely has helped me be more aware of my patterns of thought and...

My husband is the reason we're poly. He's consistently fell in love with other women through out our marriage but had never taken it past friendship until 8 years ago when he and his girlfriend fell in love after making out at a few parties (we were all in the same friend group and were open to...

Did your doctor specifically tell you that they tested your thyroid levels and you have hyperthyroidism? I ask, not because I doubt what you're saying, but because, normally, routine blood tests measure your thyroid stimulating hormone, not your thyroid level itself, I guess it's easier to...

Ravenscroft wasn't commenting on the part of CTF's response that referred to the original poster. He was commenting on a part of CTF's response that said something along the lines of "poly people will never have the support of gay and lesbain people just because they are all outliers on the...

It definitely read like a learn more about yourself so you can do the things that will help you build the sex life you want to have, instead of the sex life you feel pressured to want, by society, your upbringing, whatever. It's learning to work with the reality of your sex drive and what...

I'm really glad that "Come As You Are" is turning out to be so helpful for you.

I found out when I got my first IUD 4 years ago that I have a tilted uterus (I have had two kids, vaginally, so I'm not sure why I didn't find out then, apparently it didn't affect anything with having them). I loved sex with my ex boyfriend, who was longer than anyone I have had sex with. I...
