    Something More

    I wasn't really updating much on my blog. It seems like there's nothing going on on the poly front, but its just that that the "goings on" are more about personal growth, rather than an outward happening. I've been trying to come to terms with where I am with poly. Am I poly? Am I monogamous...

    Building Self Esteem - What Works?

    Building self-esteem is as simple as changing the way you talk to yourself. Its also as hard as the way you talk to yourself. A friend once said, "Positive thinking is powerful, but negative thinking is 1000X more powerful" Its a matter of retraining your brain as to how you think. A...

    The "How Are You Doing" Thread (redux)

    Today is an awesome day... beautiful sunshine out, have new fabric to make jammies with and its in the washer for pre-shrinking... going to pick blackberries, go to the library and hang out with my oldest kid for a bit before he heads home. Nothing exciting on the poly side of life right now...

    Bisexual, Pansexual, Polysexual...is it all semantics?

    I don't play with absolutes... "always" "never" those words don't work for me. I have a feeling if I continue to try to explain myself, it will just get less clear. I will leave this conversation with these points: - I have had a reaction to a male who identifies as bi on a dating site; I...

    Bisexual, Pansexual, Polysexual...is it all semantics?

    Yeah, that was difficult to post. Because it IS a bias. I don't think of submissive/bi as weak. Its interesting that you took my bias (tee hee, now I'm going to giggle about that) of bi men as a position that I think bi = weak. I don't think bi = weak anymore than I think submissive = weak...

    The "How Are You Doing" Thread (redux)

    Feeling pretty fucking stupid right now. Van wouldn't start. My pretty, brand new van that I just borrowed an obscene (to me) amount of money to buy. Because I had to borrow said money, there's no money to fix my pretty new van with. Sent my commuter lady off to work with some money (I...

    Bisexual, Pansexual, Polysexual...is it all semantics?

    I understand this. I try to look past it because it would be somewhat hypocritical of me, being bi, but I don't find the *idea* of bi men attractive. On dating sites, I sorta "gloss over" bi men and go to the the straight men. Its a bit of a circular issue for me. What it comes down to...

    How did I get here & Where am I going?

    This stands out for me. I'm very rarely at a loss for words, unable to express what I want to... I'll blame it on the lack of coffee for now... :p It takes a rare person of character to take the higher road and not get involved in an emotional mudfight. Its unfortunate that K...

    Weight loss support

    Hey thanks for that! It's stupid, I know, but crossovers and going fast scare me. I'm waiting for that to go away and the fun to kick in. I am now up to 2 crossovers in a row, sometimes 3 if I'm feeling brave. I am not a jammer.... yet... LOL

    How did I get here & Where am I going?

    I'm going to send you (((HUGS))) too. I enjoy reading about you and your tribe... I don't get to hear enough from you. I've heard it said before... never make someone a priority who treats you like an option. Everything I read (and I know its one sided, but like you said, actions speak...

    He says he does it by turning the oval into a circle. Or something like that. He was working with one of the other freshies and I wasn't paying much attention. :P

    Weight loss support

    Going to start posting here more often. I have 130-ish pounds to lose. I am not happy about this, but it is what it is, and I will break it into small incremental goals. I am going to re-start weight watchers. It's worked for me in the past. Plus I'm exercising regularly now. Roller derby...
