Hey, All

Wish I knew I could've just connected my upstairs iMac to the DSL down here; I would've avoided all that down time since April. D'oh! Oh well, better late than never I suppose.
Lot's of happenings over the past 3 months including a couple of events at (and new friendships with a few members of) the regional and local BDSM community (should this be under another heading? I'm out of practice ;), and a poly meet-up and get together at one of their homes.
Good to be back and hope all's well!

I guess 'juicy' is in the eye of the beholder. Nothing I would consider very juicy yet. The Power Exchange group meets at a restaurant once a month for dinner, a lifestyle-relevant demonstration, socializing and a raffle. I've gone to two thus far. The first was everything you ever wanted to know about scenes. The most recent was given by a Master who has over 40 years experience as a Dominant (though he started as a sub). He talked about and demonstrated proper communication between a Dom and his or her sub.
There's a 'formal night' (including a specific dress code for Doms and subs) coming up on July 29 that has VERY comprehensive rules/procedures and allows for any sexual behavior that is legal in the state of Connecticut. It sounds like it's going to be a blast! Unfortunately I'll be in Provincetown that week on vacation enjoying the beach with my two gal friends. Well...unfortunate in that I won't be able to go to that particular event.
But others are always happening, and you guys will be the first to know all the juicy details when I attend.
The poly meet-up was just a dinner and then a couple of hours at a member's home talking about everything from the lifestyle to politics.
Sorry to disappoint :(
Thanks, J.
PS: Have the language 'rules' slackened here a bit since I was last on? I've read a couple of very hot things here that I didn't think were permitted by iV's TOS. Or maybe it's just that I've been gone too long.

Hey You!
I was thinking of you the other day.
Hey thanks,
Didn't think you were around these parts anymore.
I've been OK and not OK...long story. But starting to feel a little better now.
What's been happening with you?

Ugh, you don't want to know. Mostly all complaining.
I took a factory job that fell into my lap because the money was so good and HATE it. No, really, HATE it.
I thought I'd get used to it but it's been 3 months and I still carry a feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach all the time thinking of going in. It's on call so I never know when the phone will ring, 24/7. I end up working up to 60 hours a week so I miss my kids terribly. Our home life is in shambles and I feel like I don't know my husband any more. But I have this little stubbourn streak and it refuses to let me quit once I start something.
Other than that things are good. I"ll get off work at 3am on Saturday morning and then hubby and I leave for a night away for our anniversary. Then I have to be back to work at 7pm Sunday. How's that for romantic? I'm sure I'll be at my most lovable.
A sixty-hour work week?!? What exactly do you do? At least that explains your conspicuous absence around here lately.
Having no time and energy for you & your family can definitely put pressure on a relationship. Hopefully at least they appreciate your sacrifice.
I'm glad to hear about your upcoming getaway, though, and I hope you're able to maximize the quality of the time you'll have to celebrate together.
It's unfortunate but so often true that we find ourselves having to give up the latter for the former. But now I sound like someone's father...
Speak soon and enjoy!
Rob
