Meaning of the Polyamory ribbon

I've had a few people ask what the blue,red, and black ribbon with the PI symbol represents. So I googled it for an in-depth explanation:

The Poly Ribbon displayed on a website indicates that the owner of that site supports the acceptance of polyamory as a socially accepted lifestyle. It does not necessarily mean that the owner of the site is practicing such a lifestyle, merely that s/he is in support of it. A link to this page serves to promote general awareness of the lifestyle and of this campaign.


The ribbon itself is based on a flag originally created by Jim Evans. A small version of the flag is shown in the border at left. As Jim states, the colors are significant: "blue, representing the openness and honesty among all partners with which we conduct our multiple relationships; red, representing love and passion; and black, representing solidarity with those who, though they are open and honest with all participants of their relationships, must hide those relationships from the outside world due to societal pressures. The symbol in the center of the flag is a gold Greek lowercase letter 'pi,' as the first letter of 'polyamory.' The letter's gold color represents the value that we place on the emotional attachment to others, be the relationship friendly or romantic in nature, as opposed to merely primarily physical relationships."

New Home

Well sort of. We bought this camper.

Doing a little work on it. It needs new tires, a good cleaning and testing of appliances. Helen and I have been cleaning.. lots of mice bodies and poop.. yech!!


Took me about a day to get the tail/turn lights working. Now I'm working on the dc fuse box. The plug was cut on the trailer. And I had to rewire the plug on the truck.. but thats another story.

We got the fridge semi running. It runs but it's not getting super cold. May need cleaned. Its gas/electric. haven't tried it on gas yet.


it has a stove and heater that are gas as well.. haven't tried those yet either. ah I see a pattern here.

maybe I'm just paranoid but I don't like messing with gas until I'm sure what I'm doing.. ie how the hell to light it.

there is a water leak to deal with.. broken pipe(s) dunno yet. I've also got to do some maintenance on the roof.

Ok so it sounds like piece of work but its really nice. It's a place to start.. stay dry/warm. Plus it's small enough it should motivate us to get started on a house sooner rather than later :)

Long time Eh!

Ok I know it's been a LONG time since I posted. Been busy with tomatoes and peppers and the like. Not much else to post currently But thought I'd drop a note to let everyone (if anyone is reading this) know We're still alive and well and hadn't forgotten the blog.. maybe just neglected it it for a while.
