Oh dear, this is good stuff. (stomping of muffled feet, finger snapping, nodding of the head with affirmative action, cheering of a quite type and the passing of the notes which read "More More Please")

Hey!! I know you could post the R rated stuff and I'll bury it with multipal posts of me singing the spam song. SPAM, SPAm, SPam, Spam, spam,......... I only remember the chords to Nowhere Man and then only part of those anymore, so I'll have to do it in a monotone.

Simple enough in concept, really - one wife, two husbands. I included my orientation because a lot of people, when they hear about our family, assume J and I must be sleeping together, because why else would we be in the same marriage? In reality, it's because I love her, and he loves her, and she loves us both, and we like each other, so hey, why not? Economically, it makes sense too - she can't work (depression, anxiety, a little OCD, and two kids), so we can still be a two-income household. Right now it's a little stressful, because J's in Iraq, but we've also given him strict orders to keep his fracking head down and leave the heroism to the meat shields (or "bullet sponges", as the Army calls them). (After all, as I pointed out before he left, if he doesn't come back, how can he catch up with Battlestar Galactica when it starts again in January?)

We've got two kids - I sired the elder, our daughter, and am (largely, anyway) responsible for her autism. (It doesn't run in my family - it saunters.) He sired our son, and we're hoping right now that J's ADD is indeed due to intrauterine influences, as his father claims, and not genetics - our son Iain might well be ADD, although that can't really be diagnosed at 18 months. (How many 18-month-olds have an attention span at all?)

The only complication we've experienced is that we can't tell her parents (born-again, they think any departure from 1950s-Georgia morality is wrong), or any of his coworkers (for fear they'll cause trouble with his unit). By extension, of course, we can't tell my mother, because she'd tell my sister-in-law, who would then go on to tell half the Western Hemisphere (with especial attention to my in-laws - she's like that).

Sounds wonderful. Not too pleased about the Iraq part or the Moral Majority, but I'm workin on them in my own way.

I do the VA thing here in the states, got more then a few tips for doing the VA road if it ever needs to be tread and hopefully doesn't need to. That sh** is a real mind F^^k. You don't have to catch a bullet to be scarred form it. Dispite what you hear about the VA, on the ground level, they're great people. My generation of vets won't forget, they're still messing over my brothers and sisters, but we don't forget. I'm not speaking of the war pig VFW or the American Legion, facist b*st*rds. Err, umm, sorry, I have issues.

Speaking of tiffs. Put Madiline Albright in with them. Condi would take a photo op while she tried to slither under the door. Hillary would have to wait for her advisors to tell her what to do next, while Mad Madiline would tear both of em a new one. I admire that woman so much. I mean what man on earth would dare do what she did. During a mideast peace discussion one of them got up in a mad state and started out of the room. She got up and locked the door and made him sit dwon. What nerve, what a set that woman has, damn we need her again and need her bad.

Heartbroken? Someone needs to get a life.

Frankly, I'm more concerned about geology. We are precariously sitting on a thin crust with molten rock underneath us at tremendous pressure while the plates are playing shift-a-roo underneath our very feet. Do people sit around and think about earthquake faults and plate tectonics? Nooooooooooo. It is not popular. God save the planet if it kills us all! The sun will go nova one day and create extreme global warning. Bye-bye.

The answer, of course, is to simply disperse. If we don't leave the planet some day, we will become extinct. That is irrefutable logic. Why doesn't Al Gore make a movie about it?

I loathe politics.....and politicians.....emotional claptrap......... specious rhetoric....blogspots......herbal tea.......drum beating.......religious nutjobs of any persuasion........feel-good ideology.

Is everone having a happy, happy day?

Seriously. His is an odd arrangment. *gets pad and pencil*

Tell us more, DeaconBlues.....

I must anthropologically disagree that polyandry is common.

ZanneMarie, just think of the coffee dude as the cabana boy, like a male latte babe.

Sorry for the muffled noises and choked sobs, but Karl MUST be kept in plain site.

He thrives on shadows and the lack of light. If we put him in the base/dung(eon)/ment he might slither out some crack.

Karl. Karl. KARL! Be a good boy, and DO SHUT UP!! !

If you behave, coffee boy will make you short chai.

Yeah, it's a Monday and we're sitting on molten lava. But...if we can last until Friday, I've heard that MacDaddy D and Kipper will be piping again at the DCaf.

Don't we all have issues? I think my marriage only works because we both have issues, they just fit well together. We have complimentary issues! How is that?

Wow, Deacon, I already feel crowded and I don't even live there. All those people! We could never do that. He's too jealous and I'd be in some serious sensory overload and would probably hide in the shower until he made the other person leave. I remember when we were still in college and not married yet, we went to a cabin with some friends. Of course we spent the weekend in the bedroom. LOL My best friend became angry because she felt he was always hogging all my attention and she wanted to see me. So she just walked into the bedroom and climbed into bed with us! LOL You would have thought someone stuck a fire cracker under him and he had a fit. He went storming out because I just started talking to her like there was nothing unusual about that.

I think we both have too many issues. He always said I never learned the S word (share) and I don't think he did either. LOL

*smacks head* Your coffee cabana boy is the answer to the poor sex starved wretches on FAAAS who aren't getting any! He can move in. How many cups can he make, btw?

Yup, I am, so far. The Wife is having a bad one, but nothing I can do about it.

Somedays you just have to kick the sh*$ out of a furry woodland creature to feel better. Try it, it really works. Cept I do it with online playing. I'm one bad Orc and I kill bunnys and tell silly orc jokes and don't smell to good and it's all as it should be, sort of like here. You can find me on the Lothar server, in the land of WoW. I'm the one the Alliance fears, we are the Horde, for I am Kickaxe the Mighty, hunter of all things good, with my trusty side kick Peaches. She's a mean lean fighting machine and we made friends in the jungles of Stranglethorn Vale. The allies used to laugh at Peaches, they don't anymore. She eats gnomes for breakfast, for they are filled with pie and are fun to punt.

Pardon, was using the term very loosly.

Hmmmm I don't want it getting too political, I just like good character fodder and some of them are good characters in my fiction. This is not the real world!


Speaking of cabana boys...

I always tell myself I can cash out now, go to South America and live with a grass hut and a cabana boy. Because what do you really need in life besides that? So yes, he can be cabana boy.


And speaking of coffee dude, he did something very funny today. The admin and I went down to get our afternoon coffee (which our boss buys for us so we will get her one) and he starts making all these strange faces and gestures. I said, "What are you doing?" He did it again and I told him, "I don't have any clue what you are trying to say, you just have to say it." He tried again and the admin said, "He's trying to flirt with you again. He wants to know if you want a latte or a javalanche." I said, "You just have to say it because I don't understand you." He looks at me and says, "What? You don't understand body language?" (insert very New York accent here) I said, "Apparently not."

Of course, this did nothing to discourage him. Thus he is wearing that stupid apron and will do so until he learns to speak and not try to use body language to convey his meanings.

I think he's over 1 million served so far.

There ya go! If only they knew about coffee dudes.

Hmmm. I have problems with imaginative play.
