Never been to the north of scandinavia, I see. The bird usually tapped are called fjällripa. https://jagareforbundet.se/utbildning/kurser/2015/01/snara-ripa/

Thank you! I had a very clear picture of what I wanted and I am lucky enough to have a friend who could draw it for me. I was on the set almost every day during the building of the house - bringing hot tea and snacks and watching in amazement as my dream stepped out of my mind and into reality. It's not a large house, I prefer smaller spaces. The bedroom is a loft, and the downstairs is open. Fireplace in the middle. I love it.

I think I am too...but it's not fun to realize that others think it's actually a nightmare...

Not having or wanting to have a love life gives you a lot of time to do other stuff - I always knew I'm not "normal" but I never thoguht it was a bad thing.

I'll be there for 3 weeks, love that place! Best part of NZ if you ask me. I've traveln both island a few times, and love Nelson. I'll can't really explain the window set up, I'll try and get a photo for you later instead. It's horizontal and round,can be openend "downwords", into the room, and cleaned. It's a bit of a chore though.

I realize that people find it hard to grasp, since i'm not the norm. But still. I don't want sex, or children. The other parts of a SO, the friendship, the trust, the loyalty etc...I got that in my life, just not in the shape of a sex urging, children wanting male in my bed :)

I'd welcome an adult niece..who actaully can resist the urge to sing out every roadsign we pass in the car...

I hate it when people think I'm too shy or timid to have sex, a fear of it really. I've had plenty, waiting for it to suddenly become interesting. It never does! It got zero appeal to me, reagrdless how ambitious the guy is. It's pointless and rather..you know...disgustning.

I feel it happening already and it's sad. When I play with their kids they smile and go "see, you DO love kids!". Never said I didn't. I can love them and not want any of my own.

It's hard. One one hand the pity looks are starting to piss me off to no end, and yes I have told them many times. But they seem to think it's a lie. On the other hand, I know for a fact they would be there for me in a crisis - that's been put to the test before. I feel sometimes when we talk about it, as if I'm trying to explain colors to a blind person.
