I keep a personal work related journal/diary. Hand written, from 1990-2000. Thats when I got a separate work computer. That journal runs current. That's really personal/ business/life related, so I never mix business with pleasure.(hence separate computers, separate diary). That business/life Journal, does have personal notes about certain people, places or an event for the day. I started this in 1990 from a respected gentlemen who at that time, was 91 years old. We raised (30) Sorrel Belgian Draft horses crossed with a Sorrel mammoth Jack-ass, to get what is known as a Draft Mules..(Animal husbandry) I digress, but thats how it got started for me personally. I asked him how he remembered so much stuff about his life. (he had many stories and recollections) He showed me from going back many years and just touching base with a few thoughts for the day, one could actually recall (the day) It actually works

And just for the record, he told me, "Never write the self incriminating stuff"... Its accountable in a court of law
"Just keep that shit under yer hat". Thats what he said

Smart man.
I have had a look at Live Journal and visit occasionally but I can't seem to keep up, let alone get one going. I started my own blog here. But, most of that personal conversation, gets talked about over breakfast with Mrs.fun.
I do enjoy reading the blogs here. But even so, I get behind and post later or at least feel what I read is from a friend. Its nice to feel like someone can share their personal thoughts.... with me. Thats how I see it...it's personal/private.
As far as our swinging journal. Mrs.fun I have a little (big) BLACK BOOK. We, or I should say, SHE. Keeps a record (hand written) of screen names matched with a little notes about who we meet. Screen names with First Names only. No addresses. But, we like to get a feel for someones first names. Last names are really not important to us when swinging.

I can't think we have ever asked anyone. It does happen in time, but we don't feel the need to keep those names/numbers/addresses, associated in the black book. When we do become close enough to have a last names or numbers. We keep that in our regular address book with no reference.(we know who they are) Plus, we have the swinger hotline with first names and phone numbers stored in that phone. There again, those numbers are logged in the book in case the phone dies.... Along with a few cd's of all the folks who have shared pictures via yahoo. Hey, we like to review a few naked pics. Along with porno.
Without sounding freaky, our adult children know there are certain personal things, in our safe at home. Those things would, upon our death, be viewed and burned. They have no interest in knowing anything more about our swinging, other than, that we do. They cringe at the thought of our sex lives. Its an adult(living will) agreement we have.
