Just saying hi Hey, I was just wanting to drop by and say hello and ask how things are going for you. Do you have plans coming together for your party? How is life treating you this week?:)

Thank you, Phy! Phy, I so appreciate your taking the time to comment on my blog. I know from reading yours that you really have your hands full right now, and it means a lot that you spoke to me. I know you can relate to watching someone you love so much struggle for their health, and I...

Square One Today the Pidge and I had another long, hard talk. I'm not sure there have ever been two people more awkward and floundery when it comes to conversations about feelings and perceptions. We talked about events from 2010, and it was horrifying to realize that one event we both...

Thanks, Loving Radiance I wanted to thank you for taking the time to read, and for your kind words and for sharing your thoughts. This kind of feedback is incredibly helpful.:)

Thank you I just wanted to say a specific thank you to Boring Guy. I don't know you, and can't speak to your intentions, but you have been incredibly helpful to my learning process since I joined this site, and I just wanted you to know that I appreciate it!:)

A bright light Recently on another thread, in response to my comment about the seemingly somewhat negative tone of the average post, Autumnal Tone wrote: (Quote) "And the folks who have years of happiness where it doesn't fall apart--you think they're going to be posting about all of their...

Hi Hi Robot, I'm new here also, for what it's worth. I'm not geographically helpful, nor a person who would be relationship material for you, but if just having someone to chat with here would be nice for you, feel free to drop me a note. I'm sorry your first poly attempt went so sour. I've...

Hi amk, I'm new here also. This is only my opinion. It may not be much help. I just wanted to say you're not alone in finding the level of communication needed, and the intimidation factor of the topics daunting. To me, being on this forum feels like someone who has taken a beginner's tumbling...

Great job Hi, I just wanted to say you've written a great blog and I really enjoyed reading it. It sounds like you are doing a great balancing act--and YAY!! Chickens!!!! Is it way too far off topic to ask what breeds you are considering having?:D

Up to date So that pretty much brings this blog into current time. In the next couple of months, I'll be moving two hours away to our little farm. The Pidge has let my daughter and son-in-law become her housemates, so she'll have people here who love and support her health challenges. I finally...

18 months in hell Then in the fall of 2011 the Pidge started to get very very sick. We spent the next 3 months fighting with doctors to try and get a diagnosis. She was wasting away in front of me, slowly starving to death, and in constant pain. Nothing else really mattered as much as keeping...

One step forward onto the banana peel Looking back, I think the Pidgie said and did everything she could to try to help me get over the lies. It was a lot of old baggage I was toting around, having been lied to and cheated on in the past. It was also the realization that as close as I thought...

Fits & Starts, Snits & Farts In the course of the conversations The Pidge and I had recently, I found myself thinking a lot about how we got to where we are now. It turned out that a lot of the things I had seen as negative at the time were actually mixed blessings. The Pidge and I met in...

Thank you for checking in with me, that's kind of you. Our conversations went extremely well. There were some tears at first, and concerns, but we stuck with it, and after several long talks, everything is really good. The fact that she is moving into remission really does help, as well. "If I...

Hi, I just wanted to say thanks for your kind comment on my initial post. I'm glad if it was of any use to you.

Some progress A really good conversation with the Pidge yesterday. It's nice to see how much we are on the same page. We both agree we don't want drama, and endless stress. We agree we'd both rather pull the plug on the whole thing if it seems to be heading that direction. We both agree that we...

Oh my sweet lord....I got some good links today we should read over, when we have a chance. Then we need to talk about timelines, cause I kid you not, some of this experience is getting on my last nerve. I will go find you and yak in your actual ear instead of your virtual one!

Thank you Gala Girl I just wanted to say thanks for your response. Your comments and suggestions have been uniformly kind and helpful, and you always come across with the links, too! The Pidge and I had a really good talk about all of this yesterday, and I think we have reasons to be reassured...

My partner and I are farmers. Given the rural area we live in, we look perfectly normal in jeans with dirt-encrusted knees and baggy sweatshirts with pouches full of tools. We wouldn't know fashion if it hit us over the head with a rolled up Vogue magazine. Your question makes me wonder if you...
