So, after 5 years, the Tribe is Tribe no more. Diva, Gryff and I have split. They took the dogs, the cats, the hamster (all 3 legs of her) and their Miracle. I took the Trailer of Woe. On the upside, the landlord was kind enough to lower the rent to fit the diminished occupancy. Thanks Pat.So we are a Tribe no more, but it was a civil, friendly split. I still talk to them. Me and Diva shuffle

I almost took this to twitter, but 140 characters just won't allow me decent scope with this one.Paisley and I used to be phone whores. We had the most amazing pimp. Boss could pimp to blind clergy and make sick money. I don't say this to upset the christians, not at all. It's of a level where she could sell sand at the beach, shoes to fish and cat hair remover to people who only have hamsters.

Now, this is a little bit of a stretch when it comes to "what this has to do with being poly", which is of course, the reason for this blog's existence.I look at this video and my blood boils. There's no audio so we have no idea what the girl may have said to drive the deputy and his companion to attack this girl so brutally.The point is moot however. They are cops. She was in their custody. She

It amuses me to watch all this love and happiness on a day that legend tells us a man was martyred for defying the Emperor's decree against young men marrying. Another idea of Valentine's Day origin is base don the Roman Feast of Lupercal, which began the Spring seasons with young men running through the streets of Rome slapping women and crops with blood-soaked strips of goat hide to bring forth

So I entered a giveaway at Christina Jade Jewelry. The lovely lady's sweet little girl pulled my name out a fish bowl a week ago and WOOHOO I won!I found the website thru Twitter, which appears to be the new craze in micro-blogging. You get 140 characters to speak your mind. I love it.Anyway I was at work and cj_jewelry announced I won. Understand; it was about 2-3 am and things were quiet at

So I've been tagged by a groovy twit-chick, RoguePuppet. She won one of HP's Magic Giveaways and I started following her blog because, as mentioned, she's groovy.So she got tagged to share 7 weird & possibly unknown things about herself via blog. After doing such, she tagged me and six other blogging souls. Like dear Rogue, I don't make a habit of keeping my quirks on the down low. This entire

Back in April a tree fell on our house. I was at work but the rest of the Tribe was home –animals too- and spent several hours trying to sort it out. I felt like a sideliner because I didn’t even know until I rolled in around 4 am.In our time of need, our neighbor gave us roof. She’s an elderly lady with a small trailer but she made room for us.We got back in our house a little over a month later

I admit, I am indeed a bad Blogstress. It's been way way too long, but…as before, life and other stuff (work, illness, oh crap the car broke down on the freeway @ 3am...) gets in the way.Oddly enough, I'm at work right now. Things are slow so I have time to ramble.Last post I mentioned my 2 promotions. I am now a sub-sup, or as our daughter said "The supervisor that supervises when the supervisor

Well.It's been awhile, yes, I'm a bad Blogstress. Life got in the way.And about that life...it's not any less interesting than it's ever been.We are back down to a Triad. R chose to exit, which is OK with us. We parted on peaceful terms, which is the best one can do in any relationship. I think he's called once since he left in October. Anyway, we're moving along.The kids are growing up fast and

Been too long since our last post on the blog.The tribe is still together. The whole 4 adults and 5 kids of us.Domesticity has had her hooks deep into my skin and time to blog had gone away. I've been petitioning for the last few years to have more hours added to the day, alas to no avail. I think there may be more time in the near future, since I can't have it made for me, I may have to put out

Yes, once again, I’ve failed in my capacity as a dedicated Blog-stress.Once again, life happens.Update..here we go.Diva does her best to get us out of the house at least some of the time. She’s amazingly good at it, really. She knows the town and the surrounding areas, and scopes out cool stuff that’s kid friendly. And cheap. Our tight budget won’t allow for extravagance, and we’re usually more

Our previously large tribe of 3 adults and 5 children is now swollen to 4 adults and 8 children. Let's hope the kids never do the math because I'm sure they're smart enough to notice that they outnumber us 2 to 1. With the new addition of R, we have accepted his children and family into our homes and hearts. Including his ex-shrew. We all have to pay special attention to our house dynamic which

So.I know I’ve been a Bad Bad Blogger. I haven’t been in here to write for like.. 2 weeks. My bad. Been going thru some stuff, but here’s the down-low/update.Ray’s kids showed up and we met them that 1st weekend. They left for one day and came back. The reason? Ray had no babysitter. So him & the li’l folk have been hanging here since. We 3 decided it was stoopit to keep him up in the air about

What I haven't mentioned here yet is the fact that we have, for the last few weeks, been considering adding another to our Tribe.I knew R from work about 2 years ago. We hit it off, and kept in touch after I left the job. We lost contact because I lost internet access. I got it back earlier this year and R found me again.He was married when we spoke before, but now, he was out of that

There's an interesting string on the Yahoo! Group -Polyfamilies, that I just joined. The conversation deals with balancing partners in a V configuration.A V, as I mentioned in an earlier post, is a Poly family with three people. One person in the middle, digging the other two, but the other two, the "arms" aren't digging each other.I don't mean on the emotional side. In any Tribe, it's impossible

No, it's not surgery.It's a concept that's leading more and more couples into polyA.The Open-Heart policy is very simple. As I stated in a previous entry, I can love all four of my kids. All my siblings, and both parent. Why is it considered immoral and illegal for me to love more than one Life-Partner?When the Mayflower came sailing across the Atlantic, those people were seeking freedom. They

We have a full and busy household. I brought 4 kids into the Tribe. Diva & Gryffin added our 5th just over a year ago.Diva is a modern-day Dr. Dolittle. She speaks Cat...no really. Her goddess is Baste. For those that dunno, Baste is the Egyptian cat goddess. We had a bird, that was given to my bio-daughter, but she got out one day (the bird, not the kid) and we haven't seen her since.Anyway, we

Why yes, we are :D.As stated before, Diva & I were both pagan before we were poly. Actually I think she's always been poly. I had to grow consciously into it. Anyway, she's Solitary. All that means is that she's most comfortable Practicing alone. She takes part in our Circles, but lets me lead. Although she is older, and by default should be Priestess of our Circle, she steps aside for me,

Whatever they want, really.I love mentioning my girlfriend & my boyfriend in the same breath. I get raised eyebrows, shock, surprise, even envy and admiration.At my old job, a lot of the chicks I worked with would sit around and bemoan the foibles of the men in their lives. The strife, the fights, the mind-games, sex issues and of course jealousy.I can't help but laugh, really, and I try not to.

Swinging. Wife-swapping. Group-sex.In fact, alot of the time it isn't even sexually oriented.Honestly, Diva and I were together a while before we realized we just flat out adored each other. I love her so much it brings tears to my eyes sometimes, and I am far from the sentimental type. Imagine our surprise when our Gryffin fell as hard for us as we had for him!Also, I'd like to go on about

Actually, it's short for polyamory, not to be confused with polygamy. Both words come from the same root POLY-, meaning "many". -AMORY means "loves". I haven't made a study of-GAMY, because it doesn't interest me. So, if you have the definition, feel free to let me know.Or, you can look it up at http://www.wikipedia.com.I do, however know the difference between the two. Polyamory allows all kinds

There was Raven and there was Diva. We met working for an online phonesex company. I lived in Texas, she lived in Florida. We got close, double-teamed a few callers, spoke on the phone, traded pix (a funny story on that later) and eventually spoke via webcam.Well, we started making plans to meet, and then the plans to meet became plans to be together. She proposed to me in an open chat one night
