I remember this I was there when you were going to pick up the rings

It is rare and special. Power to you!

First, I have to tell you that I love your photography. That picture is such a great capture of sentiment. I also wanna thank you. Seeing this post made me feel good about relationships. I had just gotten out of a bad triad and felt like it never works. You show that it does. I think it is so great that you have that to share, and I commend you for having it. From as much as I can gather at this moment, I think you are a very good person, and a very loving one at that. Thank you for sharing this with me, and everyone else. It is truly an inspiration on a day that gets mixed emotions. -hugs-

Gosh... urr.. uuhhh... Thank YOu!

your comment is way sweeter than my post... I'm deeply honored that you found my ramblings so inspirational.

Re: joshualore February 15 2004, 08:44:06 UTC

It isn't just the "rambling" of your "not blogging" that had that effect. It is because something like that does work, and sharing that made me see that I might have had some bad luck in relationships, but it isn't because of the idea. It is because of the situation and circumstances I was under. So yeah, it gave me a little more faith back to me. Sorry if that seems odd, but it did. -hug-

3 - It's a Magic Number digibob February 14 2004, 08:59:50 UTC

Sweet! I'll be the first to admit, I am far from a romantic creature. Even so, I do find that I am capable of loving more than person, but I'm intrigued by the concept of three. I'm making a presumption with threesomes that it stops with "3" -- in your case the design of the ring says THREE! I guess the live-in situation could get a little crowded beyond three, but cohabitation aside is 3 the limit? And no, I don't ask this because I'm interested in being 4 (well, at least not a permanent 4th!). Hope my curiosity and ignorance isn't offensive. :)

well - in theory I guess there's no limit... I've spoken with quads (two couples that came together)... and I also heard of a 5-way but that's getting a little commune-ish it seems...

The trick here is that there's not "limits" or "rules" - these things are strictly dictated by the heart.

There's only so much love you can fit in a king sized bed.

Happy Anniversary 3 bears.

*oh yeah - and "3- it's a magic number" was the lead track on the CD we made for Chad. ;-)

You knew I would... xenohomo February 14 2004, 09:17:22 UTC

Let me be the first to extend my congratulations to you, Kevin, and Chad on your anniversary, and wish you many more returns of the day. I hope your 'unconventional' relationship continues to be an example and inspiration of hope and love to those who come in contact with you.
I know we have many differences, being one of the activist-inclined brothers, and that while we harrumph at each other at times, we have more areas where we can connect as friends. I just can help myself, though, but to comment about the line:
I'm thankful we live in a country where we're not taken out the town square and lynched because I'm physiologically wired to be attracted to the same gender.Maybe not in the town square, but never forget Matthew Sheppard and that while not continuously fed to us over the popular media and while not to that extreme, what happened to him, still happens all over this country everyday ( ... )

Re: You knew I would... themonkeybear February 14 2004, 09:25:48 UTC

hehe... I knew you'd craft one of your cool micro-essays...

doh! I didn't think of Sheppard... Actually - I was thinking more like "not taken out to the town square by the government"...

I'ze hear you... and hey - go git em!

We need activists.

Us more-passive socially disobedient are here doin' our part too.
