Hi all,

Finally decided it was time to create an account here. I've been lurking for some months now while learning about polyamory.
My wife and I have been discussing polyamory for half a year or so. We both seem to feel it will work for us, but of course it also seems scary (change always is I suppose). Anyways, I suppose we'll just go slowly, read lots, and try not to mess things up.

A little about us.. We've been together since university, now 20+ years. So we're in our early 40s.
We both enjoy computer games (although rarely the same ones), and we're very much in to self-sufficiency (growing our own food, producing our own electricity, stuff like that).

So ya..
Cheers!

Thanks Halo! I've already been reading through a bunch of that stuff already (seen Kevin's replies to other Intro posts).
