The New Isolated Blurt BDSM Thread

Christmas card etiquette question:

Three adults live in one house. Two of them are married to each other. The third is not related. They're all friends, and you're friends with all of them.

When you send out Christmas cards, do you a.) address one card to all three people, or b.) send two cards, one addressed to the married couple and another to the single roommate, or c.) something else entirely?

To me, a.) seems tacky, but b.) seems like overkill.

Help, please?

That's tricky. Perhaps sending two separate cards would be best? I'm thinking about this in terms of what I do with cards. Each year I display them when I receive them, and then I pack them away. If they hold on to cards like that, who holds on to it?

I could be totally wrong or overthinking the situation. While I was writing out my cards I looked at a lot of site with very traditional standards, the roommate thing was never addressed. ;;

I'm leaning towards sending two, too. I guess I just wasn't sure which was less weird. Thank you!

B. Married couple and live in friend separately, unless they're related.

Thank you! Since everyone is saying this is the right answer, this is what I'm going to do.

Thanks, Lit.

Yup. That's the rule.

I feel very much like an oddity in the world lately.
I know I can't be the only one like me but I'm sure having trouble finding the rest of my... erm, tribe.

I know what you mean!
Not so much an oddity but my tribal support and input/simulation/teaching/learning retinue are definitely missing.
Leaves me out of sorts.

 

[pensivepoet]

I've been saying that since my first breath.

My friend and I don't hold the same values for property and things in general. I lend her a book, it comes back without a dust cover, sticky with suntan lotion, pages torn, etc. CDs get scratched, she even gave away something that was mine, only lent (lended?) to her. I am prepared for that when I hand stuff over.

Now, however, she wants to borrow my beautiful piece of Samsonite luggage, and I just don't want to do it. And I don't know how to say.. "No, you don't take care of stuff and I don't want this back with the lining ripped, god knows what spilled inside of it", etc. She has, after all, LOST the two suitcases I gave her previously. How the fuck do you lose suitcases? She's acting pissy because I just said I don't have one to lend her, and didn't give her an explanation. I guess I will just ignore her pissiness, because I don't know what to say.

I know, slightly more than a blurt

I think you were perfectly justified and handled it well.
Maybe give her a suitcase for the Holiday? "Here, now you have (another) one of your own."

Hmmmm... Good idea
Or maybe I'll give her a giant box

One day I WiLL disconnect my phone and retreat a stage further into a hermit 's lifestyle

I'm getting closer to that all the time.
And Collar, why not go to goodwill and get her one for 5 bucks? Tell her it was an extra and she can keep it.
Otherwise, drag yours down a gravel road and lend it to her. Just say, "here. I prewrecked it for you"

Yes, I already thought of a thrift shop purchase.
Because I think you know I will not be wrecking my beautiful suitcase..

My bike ride today was all well and good. When I reached home I was perfectly fine. The new bike is smaller (yay I can reach the ground!) so it's easier for me to carry up and down the stairs. I was perfectly fine, then I carried the bike up the stairs. As soon as I was in the door I was so dizzy I had to lay down right on the floor. I think maybe carrying the bike up was a little too much too soon. Mister said that I could leave it in the hall and he'd carry it up when he got home, but I feel like I should be able to do it by myself. Next time I'll wait for a bit before I bring it up.

Looking forward to getting my nipple bars put to the shorter version, or rings; the starter bars are catching on everything which really isn't helping them heal.

Might nudge Master again to see about the scenes involving some of our kink-aware/kinkster friends; we discussed it months ago but then life happened.

 

[MeekMe]

Maybe Mister wants to be helpful and caring and supporting for you in this way? Its the sort of thing G would do as part of 'nurture and protect' and caring for 'what is his'. I don't know because I don't know your Mister, but you have mentioned other sort of things of care he does that make me smile and I wondered if it might be something that would give him pleasure til you feel able to meet your goal?

I'm sure that he'd rather I not take a tumble down the stairs (especially holding a bike), but I'd rather he not have to bring it up after work. I just have to work out the right way to do it.

(￣^￣)ゞ <---the serious face.

 

[Primalex]

I don't get why you would carry around a bike in the first place.

BIG changes are happening on several fronts, and I'm scared but hopeful.
