Chew the newbie Mmmmmm.......Take that first bite. Oh, the tender, flaky crust. Buttery and luscious, folded over on itself so many times, and lightly golden brown. Delicate and rich, just the way a first time poster should taste. Like a croissant, but not necessarily French. Like an Egg...

Just an addedcomment, if I may-- My initial post was made one week ago, when I had just joined this forum. It was titled "Is this perception accurate?" If I had a time machine and could go back one week to respond to myself I would say, "No, it is not accurate. You're not getting it...read some...

Though my sweet little Pidge is no dummy The same can't be said for her tummy It rejects its fate And what's there on her plate No matter how cheesy and yummy.... Homegrown baby gold potatoes, cooked in chicken stock and butter with fresh leeks, tender florets of cauliflower from the garden, a...

You are so articulate and shit!!!! When you put your mind to it....what's left of your mind, anyway. I think this site could be useful to us, in many ways, in terms of our eventual goal to maybe meet Toilet Seat Guy. But in terms of private conversations, I think we can find better methods. I'm...

There once was a sad little Pidgie 'Cause her tummy was feeling all squidgy She bought some C-4 Taped it right to the door And blew up her now useless fridgie!!!! Here's to food in your future, my dear. I will go cube you up some melon. :-)

Way to go, Pidgie! Um...except for the fact that you posted to your own wall, instead of to mine. :-P I have this image of me having to type your messages for you because your arm is numb, and then I will, in effect, be writing to myself. Heh. You can just curl up and watch tv while I have...

My partner's health condition is one of those frustrating ones that swings between flare-ups, where she is very ill and can lose coping skills due to severe malnutrition causing cloudy thinking, and remissions where she can expect a virtually normal quality of life, with just diet restrictions...

Thank you so much. That is exactly what goes through my mind, and trying to balance the need for communication against their ability to absorb and cope with a stressful issue. Sometimes it seems as though relieving your own stress by adding to someone else's burden is sheer selfishness instead...

I worry my words will cause anxiety for the person listening to me because the stability and support of our relationship are a vital part of her ability to deal with her serious health issues. For her to be told that relationship is in crisis might cause her to feel added stress, anxiety, and...

Sorry to have been unclear. I meant if my words will cause anxiety for the person listening to me. My baggage is all about not upsetting someone else by telling them things they don't want to hear. I was raised to stuff my own feelings/needs as far down as necessary in order to not upset anyone...

Thank you, GalaGirl. I did look online, but had mistakenly thought the business sites would not be of use. I will look again. I have never heard of non-violent communication, but will also spend some time trying to learn about that. It's the reconciling you bring up that I struggle with. I know...

You're absolutely right. Silence was seen as being courteous, but when it's a rage-filled ominous silence, the quiet before the storm, it goes from polite to nerve-wracking. And I believe in a lot of cases, it might turn implosive rather than explosive, leading to depression, and self-numbing...

That phrase, "If you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all." is something I noticed used here for the first time in my reading. It's a rough one for me to read, and it brings up a question or two. I grew up in a family where this phrase was The Law. Don't ever say anything about my...

Hi, I was reading some comments you made on a post today about communication between two women, and I wanted to tell you how helpful I found what you wrote, though it wasn't a thread I was involved in. My gf and I seem to have some similarities to you and your gf, but reversed. She's the first...

Asked and answered I posted my first question today and got some really great answers and two new links to sites I had never heard of. It's clear now that by trying to fit questions based on a standard mindset to a non-monogamous situation, I'm not going to find the answers. I'd never really...

Wow--thank you all very much for your replies. That was wonderful. AnnabelMore--You are totally right. I did completely skip the single people. I think I've been so curious about how couples handle this, I failed to do any reading about the perspective of the singles on here. Thank you for...

Thank you very much Tonberry. You're right, I hadn't taken that into consideration, about people coming here because something isn't quite working. That may very well explain the impression I was getting. Perhaps if I rephrase my question...is there any specific place on this site I should look...

Hi, I just wanted to ask a question, after doing a lot of reading the last few days. I am just starting to learn about this, so please be patient if this has already been addressed, I didn't know what to call the topic to search for old threads. It seems to me that people are arriving here...

Studly Sixpack Or Grizzly Grandpa? People are curious creatures. I've been reading at some other sites and there seems to be this....trend. Married couple decides to try open marriage--hot young girlfriend is located--quickly becomes obvious Young Hotty is much more into the husband than the...
