Thank you so much! I texted him instead of calling this morning because of he’s sleeping, I don’t want to wake him. If I don’t hear from him in a couple hours, I’ll call.

Yeah, I had the same worries. I’m my case, it helped that the local poly group was the one that started the game so I knew I had at least 2 things in common with them. 😆

I’ve been luckily. I met Hubby here and my new partner on a FB poly group. This is lucky because, honestly, I have no idea how to date. 😬

I’ve got the same issue with the new bedroom clock. I love the larger numbers, but I’m also glad I have a sleep mask.

Safe travels, _metal mouse_. Have a good time!

Thank you, _pilot_. It really means a lot to know i hands people behind me. Knowing that my dad doesn’t agree with her helps a lot too.

Don’t do it! Putting on pants is always a trap!

(Ok, ok… kitty litter and the dispo are important. But still… pants. _shudder_)

Well crap. I hope you both kick it to the curb soon- like. I’d hanging around far too long!

Yay for unexpected monies coming at the right time!

CtY is trying to keep panic at bay. Steven Crowder [leaked the manifesto of the Nashville school shooter.](https://www.newsweek.com/nashville-shooter-manifesto-released-steven-crowder-what-we-know-1841207). As CtY is gender-fluid trending more toward female, so the fact that the shooter was part of the trans community is feeding the anti-trans sentiment has them worried more about their safety than they should have to. Hubby and I have been trying to reassure them that right now, this is not something they need to worry about and that we will do everything in our power to protect them. I can’t say I blame them for their fear, as it’s a fear I share. But I’m trying to be strong for them because that’s what moms are for.
