More interesting than plate techtonics is the reversal of the magnetic pole(s).

Over the course of a few hundred year (I think) our magnetic pole will split up into five poles which will slowly drift down and combine back into one magnetic pole with a reversed polarity.

Anything within a certain radius will be exposed with a hightened solar radiation and there will be auroras around as the solar particle collide with the atmosphere. Of course, it won't be inhospitable to us, as we will still have the atmosphere for protection.


Too bad I'll be dead. I like auroras. Sucks to be me right now.

Honestly, I don't mind the questions - I was just amused that that's considered to be the most interesting thing about me. I mean, from my POV, it's been - wow, five years already? Where does the time go? Anyway, aside from some hurt feelings caused when she had a miscarriage while he was at sea in the Navy (had to change services last year), and his email reply to the situation inadvertently left out a VERY important comma, one that changed the entire meaning of a central sentence in his email, things have gone so swimmingly it's just normal life around here. (Thank heavens, I was able to logically interpolate the comma and smooth things out, as without the comma the statement would have been ridiculously out of character for him - J's a really nice guy, not given to hardhearted phrases like that.)


Oh but you are missing the point. We have to examine the strangest things and we will do so for a few pages then forget about it completely. Besides, we all had to think about how that would work especially since so many of us are people phobic to begin with.

Just had to look up polyandry in Wiki. Sorry, DeaconBlues. But we are a bit on the nosey side, aren't we, gang? I mean, we sit here in the Cafe and discuss whatever topic comes up, often with quite the gusto, and as topics go, this one's almost irresistible to us ! ! We have problems in one to one relationships, and you have a triad ! ! Anyway, as Zanne said, we'll forget about it in 5 or 6 pages, and then it won't come up again due to our collective faulty memory circuits.
So bear with all the attention ...

I'm still upset that I can't do polyandry characters because I can't visualize how that would work. I know I'm going to drive dh nuts with this while I try to visualize it. This always happens.

Prof, how are you doing on the latest. Are you banging your head yet?

"in a triad arrangement, with one wife and a cohusband


I have been in two, well, now that I think about it, three polyamorous arrangements. My mom had two husbands in the same house for 27 years ( in WICHITA, KS! no less) and I grew up with two dads. My first marriage was a dual and then later in my life I was a third with two other women (who had his kids) with our guy. I like the arrangement, much easier on all concerned.

the kids used to call it 'polylaundry' because we all did our wash together!

I can speak Spanish, but even if I couldn't the idea of living somewhere where I can't understand anything has a certain appeal. Dh might not be so thrilled.

actually it is gender specific
polygamy is more than one wife
polyandry is more than one husband
polyamorous is more than one love

I always thought about it like, people have more than one child and love them all, what's the difference from loving all your spouses?

Pretty much the way we feel about it, yeah... :)

Gosh. Tiring weekend (I only exploded once), but nice.

Got hit by a bat this morning. They're pretty good at avoiding people, except when you stand in the middle of them during their first meal of the day... definite feeding frenzy. Two even collided with each other, with the lights on.


Oh, you got hit by a MAMMAL (not a stick). I'm relieved.

Hell no I didn't mean tits, I ment balls and that should be spelled Balls. I can't get close enough to spelling of the spanish which actually might get by the censor.

You had it right the first time. You haven't lived till you're sitting there all comfy and in slow motion the door comes crashing in, downwards like there where no hinges at all. It wasn't the door doing it, that struck me so much , as was the dust that seemed to make an arura around the the door casing. Funny what sometimes what I notice, it's like it was ok for the door to do that, but my, what would cause that wonderful highlight to it. Search warrent? What search warrent. Then one asked if they minded if they looked around, I mean what ya gonna say. They didn't find s**t, but they where to stupid to understand things that can be hid in plain sight. Most of the time they knocked and asked to look around, I mean we had long hair and dressed funny, that's a good reason to look around. One time someone was doing a painting, it sat in the middle of the living room, it was of city hall. The detectives were in doing what they did best and he asked what was in one of the windows of the paintings, he was told it was a hippie being lynched. He seemed slightly amused, least I think that's what that look ment. The very first thing they did when you got caught for j walking (of course I thought the term Jay Walking rather funny.) or what ever else they could think of, was cut your hair, it was unsanitary according to them. Oh damn here I go again getting all worked up again. Well seemed to have lived through it all, still have a carry over attitude and only ended up getting seriously busted once, for possession. Ah yes my childern, there was a little war going on, right here at home. Funny, when Patty and I moved in with Greg, the uninvited visits seemed to stop, somehow I think Greg being fresh home from Nam made them think twice.

... don't let me interrupt, and not that I want to encourage spamming up this topic, but the Dino Aspie cafe has over 1900 posts. The whole of the kids crater (which has been going much longer) has 2500 posts.

Once it overtakes the kids crater, we should all PM alex to ask for the Cafe to become a forum, not just a topic. :D

Keep posting .....
