one of my good friends swears by meditation, but it doesn't work for me. About the only way I've found to turn my brain off is to go running, but that's not always available - like when feeling anxious and panicky and I am stuck at work for another six hours.... Need to figure that one out...

It's good. I generally recommend watering it down closer to 80 proof, only in that 110+ can be dangerous~ and the water opens up the flavor a lot.

My daughter showed me this song the other day. I am easily amused, but I thought it was both wonderful and painful.

Yup, we're definitely learning. Years of practice and fights and learning how to communicate... And yes, the pandemic has been something entirely else. We just reopened our game night for the first time since March of 2020. Whole new crowd since we moved, but it's been good. (: Favorite...

Wow, it's been about a year since I posted this... and here I am sort of back again. In the year I've been gone, I attempted the "this is just for fun" relationship (which did not work out... it was interesting to try, but... I need more connection) and I've experienced "compersion" with my...

I appreciate the offers, but I'm not really that interested in chess. @CmMrsn No worries. I was attempting to tease, but apparently did a poor job of it.

I played WoW for a *looong* time, I looked at going back, but I just can't get into it. My kids love Among Us, but I haven't tried it yet - my "social deduction" skills generally involve yelling that everyone else is the traitor for no particular reason. I definitely understand your...

What is it with you people and chess.com? I don't know how to chess. I've tried to play. I know vaguely what the pieces do, but I've found that since I don't know the basic strategies, I am pretty much either bound to play against someone else who only vaguely knows what they're doing or get...

Had a couple songs come up on my Pandora today that I wanted to share. Scroobius Pip has some great lyrics about relationships... Broken Promise: "Love at first sight always seemed unconsidered, I'd rather love at first fight, then on to double figures" You Will See Me: "The notes you left in...

I'm looking for new games to play! I used to WoW or FFXIV with my wife, and those were fun ways to find people to talk to. Right now I'm playing some Fortnite and AFK Arena, but neither seem to be conducive to talking to people... My wife and her boyfriend are big into an alliance on State of...

This reminds me of a few conversations I've had.... once a co-worker asked me why I didn't wear a wedding ring, and gave me a perfect lead like "you *are* monogamous, right?" and I responded with "well...." and we had a brief conversation about it. She didn't ask very many questions. Another...

I'm not entirely sure why you're sorry. That seems perfectly reasonable to me, lol. We've got something like 160 board games, so lots to choose from. Too many for me to figure out a favourite, but... Splendor, Merchants and Marauders, and Red Dragon Inn are probably near the top of the list...

Thanks! I figured the Official Greeter would know a thing or two. (= I love Russian Blues - they're one of the few breeds I am occasionally not allergic to.

I'll have to check it out. It certainly doesn't hurt to have more information. (= For the moment, my wife's got an online boyfriend she's interested in meeting (probably after the holidays) and I'm just looking for friends (I'm sure that will change when the opportunity presents itself... I...

Now *that* is a good combination. (= Before the plague times, we ran a game group and did board games and drinks with friends pretty much every Friday. Looking forward to getting back to that someday. For now we have a few select friends we play with, and there's always whiskey. (= I keep...

As a married man who has dated married women... Be honest. A friendship is great, anything more can be icing on the cake if it's based on realistic and honest expectations. Also... run away if he starts talking badly about his wife or his relationship.... If he can't be honest with her, he...

Hey all! I haven't been on the forum in a couple years... partly because I was trying to figure out what poly meant to me and my wife and partly because I think we needed a break to work on ourselves and on each other. We've always considered ourselves poly to one degree or another, and our...

Oh, yeah... US servers, sorry. )= I knew US and EU servers were different, but it did not occur to me when I wrote that out! Typical egocentric American, I suppose. )= - Ben

It's entirely possible, and I was around during that time, but I wasn't serious enough about the game at that point to even know. They've pretty much eliminated most of the ways of griefing people at this point in the game, but there were a lot more back then. At the time, though, I was still...

Well, it looks like I'm back on WoW again... My wife and I are playing on Moon Guard server (Alliance side - yes, I am not a fan of alliance, but it's got, by far, the biggest kink community on WoW, and we wanted to make sure we found an inclusive guild. Look me up if you need any starting...
