Exactly this. It can absolutely be a fulfilling relationship, but it takes significantly more work than being a pair does.

It also isn't a good fit for everyone. You have to be not only extremely confident in the existing relationship, but also secure enough in yourself to understand that your partners are going to have independent relationships with each other just like you have an independent relationship with each of them. A lot of people just struggle with that.

Personally I find it to be a very rewarding experience, but I full expect that to not be the case for most.

If it is something OP decides to engage with I would definitely recommend lots of reading on poly relationships, seeing a relationship counselor who specializes in open \ poly relationships, and visiting poly forums to talk about the potential pitfalls \rewards.

Unfortunately, I had the opposite day today. A 5 minute check-in in turned into a 96-minute meeting.

This is exactly how I used to do it. Roast a whole chicken and make multiple different meals out of it.

Guess I am not a real fan then.

I couldn't quite put it into words, but this was exactly it. Thank you.

He is. Found a few more as we made our way back, and he was definitely the biggest.

I literally almost stumbled over him. I stopped for a breather, looked down at my foot, and he was right beside it.

When I lived in an apartment, we did balcony heirloom tomatoes. Once you get some of the tomatoes you can't buy in the store, even a few plants are well worth it.

We have strawberry and blackberry from planting a few years ago, and it look slike this may be my first year actually getting grapes as well.

It is always rewarding seeing the literal fruits of your labour.

Checked there and searched online for any demo modes/ testing codes that would allow me to mute it. Evidently, a lot of folks online absolutely hate my microwave as well, because no one can mute it. That said, the community of microwave haters has provided me with instructions to rip out the speaker if I choose to silence the wailing banshee for good.

My microwave has an un-interuptable 6 shrill beeps, that then repeat if the door is not opened in 10 seconds. There is no mute option, and it can be heard everywhere in the house. I have seriously considered just ripping the speaker out of it. It is, without a doubt, the appliance I hate most in my house.
