Up until this point I thought this was going to be a rant about how Wal-Mart crashed your secret love triangle.

I think you are refering to paid vacation. My gals aren’t taking paid vacation. They just need the time off to go on vacation. This hasn’t been a problem before, and it wasn’t a problem for both of them. It was only a problem for GF#2. Oddly enough, her imeadiate manager didn’t think it was a problem and was about to sign off on it. But the next guy up in the food chain was in the room and decided to pitch a fit about it. When he started throwing out ultimatums, her imeadiate manager looked at the guy as if he were possessed. GF#2 is a very good worker, and would be missed.
Anyway… Again, I don’t work at Wal\*mart. My girlfriends do. I work for a more civilised company that thinks it’s employees should take time off and relax. I don’t realy understand this “only one week off” stuff. How the hell can you go somewhere and relax with only one week off? Planning/Travel/Unwinding from Travel would take up most of the time.
Bleh!

I’m with you, Theios.
Lady Chance and I generally take long weekends (3 and 4 days) and sprinkle them through the year.
But twice we’ve taken more. In 2001 we took Baby Kate down to the Keys and then to Disney. 11 days. It was lovely.
And in 1999 we took a week in August to hit New Orleans.
Of course…that got us Baby Kate. Be warned.

What! You mean you are going to selfishly go off and get hitched in May, probably using up all you PTO, and then not go to the beach house with us in June? I’m crushed! We got one with an extra bedroom, just for you two.

The Panhandle. Also known as the Redneck Riveara.
And, NPavelka…
I too think often of three lesbians and hot oil massages. So far, all I’ve managed is the three lesbian part. Maybe hot oil massages are in my future? Maybe one of them will read this thread and get ideas?
(or maybe she’ll read it and get pissed that she is refered to as GF#2 in this thread, when in fact I started dating her first. :eek: )

So like, are your girlfriends also girlfriends with each other?
😕
And any store that ends in “Mart” sucks. I should know-I worked at Kmart for almost five years.

Really? Wow. I’d call you lucky if I didn’t know you worked at Wal-mart 🙂
Feel like starting a “Ask the Girl in the Menage a Trois” thread? I’ve always wanted one of those. (Except mine would involve guys. Meaning I’m not asking because I want to hear about hot lesbian sex or anything. Although I’m sure someone will. 😃 )

Yes, they are also involved with each other. We all just kind of fell into it, but it’s working out pretty well. We’ve all been dating since June, and living together since September.

Humm… Crossed my mind. But I believe there are more articulate people on the board who could do a better job of it. If you search a bit, you can find some past threads that relate to polyamorous topics (or try polyfidelity). Now, if a thread popped up, I wouldn’t mind contributing. 🙂
