"Cue Ringo"... TBR
Actually, TBR, having met the woman in question, I can certify that she is well-above the average age of the zygote-like youngins that Ahoy typically likes to make his "fun" with.
Seems our boy is growing up...

@PG: Hey sexy. Good to see you. Not sure if I'm "back" but I did want to drop in and say hi.
@VA: Yeah, a few times over the last year I'd log in and glance at the forums, notice that the last person to post in many of the threads was the Nutcase, and just slowly back away. Glad the forums aren't polluted so badly now.
@Rabbit n Scamp: good talk.
Look who finally made it back!
If it's who I think it is, it's one of the few people I block so I wouldn't have noticed anyway except for others commenting on his posts.
Well, he who must not be named has mercifully disappeared. That's a good thing.
@Fun
19 hours have passed since you asked what you've missed with nary a reply. Does that answer your question?

HT: in spite of having only 4 days to get it finished, I'm putting the final touches on my medical record review software.
It is a thing of beauty. Angels will weep, and profits will rain from the sky.
Or it's a piece of junk and I'm just wired on caffeine.
Nice to see y'all too. Been away for awhile. What forum fun have I missed?
Nice to see Fun paying us a visit.
And Kibbs.
Fun!!!!
Cue Ringo.
So you got a job teaching middle school?
People have been getting in trouble for stuff like that lately.
Anyone remember what it was like to be in middle school and have a crush? That feeling when you say bye at the end of second period and can't wait until fifth period to see her again? Yeah it's like that.
Well, I would except that if they are calling us with a question like that, they are probably new or prospective clients and not established ones, so I'd like to avoid weirding them out on our initial contacts.
But still... funny to think about. :)
“or put them on hold and immediately return to the call "hello this is the accounting department".
That’s exactly what I would do except I would probably try different accents for each “department” and then get confused and use the wrong accent.
Maybe this should be in the “that time I was an asshole” thread.

It's always amusing when people think we are a much bigger company than we actually are. We are just 3 employees - Mrs VA, myself, and one assistant. We also have 2 contractors who do here and there work. But our house is our only "location".
Once in a while we get a call from someone asking to speak to our legal department, or accounting department, etc. I sometimes want to say "they handle that in our London location, but they are closed for the day" or put them on hold and immediately return to the call "hello this is the accounting department".
Not sure if it's right or wrong, but sure is a lot of fun!
Seriously, reading about your happiness made us happy for you! Keep enjoying each other as much as you can.
@F&H
Y'all must be doing something right ;-)
SOTW, we have been together since we were 19 and greatly support anyone who decides they need to work on them.
One of the couples who quit was due to a serious medical condition. We are happy to call them vanilla friends and talk every week.
The others who split up all had issues other than the lifestyle....doing this just sped up the process for them.
A man in Austin, TX was walking down a street when he saw a man hanging from his 2nd floor gutter, the ladder kicked over beneath him. As was captured on the home security camera, the man immediately ran to his aid and while calling 911 grabbed the ladder to put it to where he could hopefully reach it.
Except that it wasn't what it seemed. It was someone's scene depicting Clark Griswold hanging from his gutter while putting up Christmas lights.
Kudos to the man anyway. You're a hero regardless. Nice to see good stories about good people.
Since the divorce rate is about 50% for first marriages and higher for the second (and beyond), it shouldn’t be surprising that swingers experience the same thing.

@F&H, I can appreciate a couple quitting the LS to focus on their relationship.
@NjNy. I agree with what you said but I don't bother reporting anything short of kids in photos. I've seen lots of couples profiles that say, "Single Male now" "Wife too skittish now, Male playing alone" "Wife busy with work, Male playing alone" The same for SF profiles that are really couples. Nothing ever happened in the past when I reported them. I think as long as they pay SLS dosent care.
Yes, most of the couples we have met over the years are either no longer a couple or have stopped playing altogether.
I have a happy thought. I am on an unsupervised weekend. I'm at our weekend house because Mrs SOTW had to work today, but my happy thought is, my choice in life partner. I have one who I can trust and one that trusts me. I have noticed a sort of trend here lately. More than one Swinging couple in our area, have broken up and started new lives and profiles with former swinging playmates. Some even announced the break up in their Tag Line. Others did not. I for one find this very disturbing to say the least. These are couples we have known and met, thankfully we did not get involved with them.
Has anyone else noticed this trend?
Mrs. TBR starts her new job on Monday.
