Those are SO easy to make. And if you can find a candy shape, you can make sugar cubes! I will hopefully go to the studio again next week (like, where you paint etc) and discuss if they have the equiptment to make molds, if not: I have a friend who does a industrial design study, and she can help me. My mind is overflowing with ideas! Imagine: A PENTACLE SUGAR CUBE for in your teas or something. Oh, if that happens I'll open an etsy shop. -grin- With witchy stuff too the off course But in the meanwhile, I know a lot here love to cook/craft too, and it's sooooo easy ones you get the hang of it and have a proper mold, so shall I make a quick tute on it later?

I have wondered if one could make molds for sugar cubes out of sheet of stainless steel or perhaps polymer clay? After all, they should be quite tiny and finding a cookie cutter that small is quite an effort.

Sure but they'll wont be 3d. But check crafting sections! I have lots of shapes that are meant for clay! If you use clay make sure it's a non-toxic one though Then it's a pretty brilliant idea even! I do have to note you don't 'cut them out' but you really have to press the sugar in, so keep that in mind when checking out cutters

Something cool happened to me yesterday! I had a court case I was called up as a witness. Yesterday, feeling anxious, I took out my mini tarot deck I carry with me all the time, and started shuffling it. It gave me out seven of pentacles and death. One means quarrel, business, the other one sudden end, finishing kick so to say, non-returnable change. I didn't give them much thought, but the cards stuck in my head. Today I went to the court, found the place I was supposed to be empty and closed. I searched the secretary out and she called the procurer. He explained me that the case, which had lasted over a year, would be closed down now quickly, because the men under question had taken guilt in every point. I immidiatly remembered the two cards and they made sense!

Oh, cyv.... I'm so sorry! *big hugs* I wish there was something I could say or do that would comfort you Heartbreak after a long relationship can be absolutely devastating and make you feel like you are falling endlessly into a pit of darkness. You will get through this though, and I believe everything happens for a reason. I know that's not much comfort, but you *are* strong and your heart *will* recover with time! You are never alone... if you need someone to talk to, feel free to give me a shout. You're in my thoughts.

Awww, sorry Cyv. I know you're hurting tremendously right now, but the best advice I can give is just remember that things happen for a reason (as cliche as that may sound). All the heartbreaks I went through over the years I always thought my life would never be the same without them... and I was right, because bigger and better things came along because of that. It must be hard living with him still, but if you guys are meant to be then you will. But I truly believe that someone/thing is waiting for you and this is just part of the process. Good luck sweety, I hope you find inner peace through all this. And if you don't mind me asking... how does the poly thing work? Like how you don't get jealous and such... just curious. Be strong babe. Here if you need anything.

Formosa that is really neat! Cy V, that really... well it sucks. Poor you I don't really know what to say because honestly, I have never even gotten close to having a long term relationship. I think this may be a beginning for you. I am with you though Autumnraiin, I am curious about the poly thing too. I'd be so jealous to be honest.

Thanks all. I guess this just takes time, it just kind off sucks that we live together and get confronted all the time. I do understand a bit of why now - basically the house we live in, housemate doing nothing (and now paying the bills) combined with his busy life and he wanting to help me do everything (as I have quite a few issues, a rheumatic disorder and chronic fatigue most influential) and the kittens costing a lot of time and making messes were just too demanding for him, so he hopes that breaking off the relationship will help him. No idea. I was moving anyway as I can then get help around the house (you can get cleaning/grocery help and aids around the house when handicapped) which I couldn't get before because I have 'housemates' and those are expected to help. There might be hope for the future but I'm not going to sit around waiting, I just have to accept it. First off, I do not mean to say 'I do not believe in monogamy'. A lot of poly do but I know lots of people who are perfectly content with being monogamous and polygamy isn't for them. I get rather annoyed when people say it's 'against' nature. No there are not many monogamous animals, but 1) we are humans and 2) reminds me of people saying this about being gay etc and dismissing people's individual feelings. Polygamy basically means you can feel in love with several (romantically) then one and we've accepted that in us. My bo..ex does not feel jealousy, but I do. I myself have learned that jealousy is no emotion in itself. It is a way of showing fear (insecurity), anger (you just don't want this, or you want more attention/working on your relationship) or any other emotion. So it ís a way of showing something's not right. So if I feel safe in my relationship and have that level of trust with my partner I am just comfortable with it. If I feel unease when he is dating, or I don't feel comfortable for some reason it is either something in me or in a relationship we have to work on. Or in one case, I just didn't trust the girl. We've established our own set of rules (what is ok and what not, I think 'sleeping around' is very nice, as does he, so..We have a 'veto right' (so we can always say 'I'm not ok with this, no discussion possible') But we talk a lot and he really has a thing of one of my friends, and vice versa. (THEY ARE SO CUTE TOGETHER! DAMNIT! ;D) And even though they're poly her boyfriend is sick and feels a bit 'threatened' because he feels he can't give her everything she wants and the 'getting it somewhere else' is a bad point to go from, imho. I felt like that sometimes. Off course you get different things from different people, they ARE different, but if there's something big missing in your relationship which you can work on you shouldn't seek it elsewhere, imho. It should complement your relationship, not replace parts. To me (and a lot of others) that just seems unhealthy for a relationship. So it requires a good established relationship (for us then) with trust and good communication. Just like any relationship really. I do not actively seek out new lovers, I just accept that sometimes you fall in love with several people, and I don't have to choose then! I did used to in my teens, ending up switching back and forth between two because when I was with one I was still in love with the other. I want to point out the difference between polygamy, polygynni and (the rarer) polyandry. Polygamy is just 'loving multiple', and so not what the mormons believe in and is wrongly used in that sense. Polygynni is 1 man, multiple women. Polyandry 1 woman, multiple men. I hope this clears some stuff up, if you have any questions be sure to ask! I still try to create more understanding a bit. To me, finding out something like this was possible, instead of having to be monogamous (because EVERYONE is) was such a relief. I do still believe in a more 'big family' idea and I am not so much into separate relationships (though some, including now ex-boyfriend) are, unless she is/can be like a close friend, that still feels like family. I also noticed that loving friends isn't very much unlike loving partners, I get the same butterflies of excitement when I am going to see them. I think it's just the sexual part not being there, or something.

WHAT A FUCKING FANTASTIC THREAD!!! I feel so horrible because between working until like 7 or 8 at night, studying with Flora, doing our lessons here, and keeping up with the rest of life, I haven't had a chance to pop in in a while! My BFF is poly. I used to be a very jealous person but now that Nathan and I have been together for four years, it's worn off. It wore off after about year 2. I'm super monogamous by nature. But that's not to say that I don't believe one can't love multiple people the same way at the same time. And it also doesn't mean that I believe in possession or ownership of another person ("He's mine"). I think I'd just always think about not being loved "as much" as the other person/people. But that's all fear-driven lifestyle and I try really hard not to live that way. Jenn and CyV, I hope both of you are beginning to do better and feeling more secure/stable. (Not that you're insecure or unstable, but I can't think of another word right now of the state of being when your heart is broken.) The beginning parts of break ups or just having your heart broken.... dude, it SUCKS. BUT. There is so much growth potential during periods of suffering! There's SO MUCH you can learn about yourself and your spirit! And the fact that we can endure such emotional pain and it still doesn't kill us is just absolutely amazing to me. Love to both of you!! And of course, to everyone else. You guys are seriously all so fucking awesome, it's sick. lol Charlie
