I've been reading blogs this morning, and found some fun posts to share.
Water Conservation and Femdom by Emma
Emma talks about the importance she places on water conservation given that she now lives in an arid climate, and her boy scott's lack of concern for the issue. She of course also mentions how she will address that given the female dominant basis of their marriage.
I found the post interesting on many levels because like Emma I am very concerned about water conservation. While I don't live in an arid climate, I do live in a place of spectacular natural beauty, and I feel that conserving water helps the environment populated by the myriad of living beings that make it so. I also am without government provided water, so my water is my responsibility. When one is personally responsible for something I think it causes one to exercise greater care and judgement. No 'tragedy of the commons here.'
That said, it was also a fun post because it's always great to read about husbands being properly disciplined by their superior wives!
XM's male slave Stable by saratoga
Recently I made some comments on saratoga's blog about the possibility for, and proper management of good relationships with multiple slaves. saratoga has kindly highlighted those comments of mine in this post. I hope you follow the link, and enjoy the little thoughts I gave there.
More On Bloggers New Warning Screen On This Blog by saratoga
Without explanation or recourse Blogger has placed a warning screen that one must go through before being able to read saratoga's blog. As a result, he has lost 25 % of his readership. Incidents like this one seem to be happening more and more with Blogger, hence my recent post on the topic which can be found here.
I greatly appreciate what blogger has done for me personally and what they have done for the femdom community as a whole. They provide a wonderful tool for communication, and pay all the costs associated with the use of that tool. In return, they of course have the right to set limits on the use of that tool. That said, to me anyway, the tool looses it's value when it becomes unclear exactly what those limits are, and exactly what process will be followed if those limits are broken. As I mentioned before, incidents such as this are making me concerned about blogger, and I am looking at other options. I continue to experiment with Movable Type, I do not know if that is what I will ultimately end up with though as it does seem a good deal less user friendly than blogger.
I hope that you will visit saratoga's blog today, let's get those 25% of lost visitors back to him.
Another Blogger's View of The Warning Screen by saratoga
This follow-up post presents what I imagine is a very valid thought about the perceived changes in Bloggers procedures.

I wanted to let you know I came across your blog googling a few weeks ago for something can't remember what really...and can't stop reading...I love your blog. I love to see other Dominate women who can speak...LOL. Seems like an odd statement perhaps but I truly enjoy intelligent conversations and writings. Keep up the awesome blogs!!!
MadameM.
Allow me to suggest wordpress.com I have a temp site on there I use for my prodomination purposes. They know and they informed me that they will mark is as adult however they do not have the content warning page prior to seeing the site like blogger does. Perhaps this would be a better solution in the long run. You do have the option of completely blocking out people unless they have passwords for each post, and even take it to the extent of allowing only certain registered (you create a list of acceptable users) members to view. I've dealt with them for awhile now and love it. Nothing against blogger but I understand how the warning can cause problems. Hope that helps on your search.
I included my wordpress link this time so you can see there is not blockage to my knowledge.
Milliscent-
Thanks for the kind words, mention, and help rebuilding readership on my blog.
And for the very insightful and helpful comments on recent posts. You know I always welcome your views, even when divergent from my own.
With your unique (hehe....couldn't resist that, you know?) background in Pro Domination, you provide some wonderful observations and experienced viewpoints.
You're a good friend. :)
*hugs*

divinemadamem,
Thank you for your very kind compliments. I'm thrilled that you are enjoying my little blog!
madame m,
Thank you for your suggestion of Word Press. I have been thinking that if I end up not liking Movable Type, I would try Word Press next.
saratoga,
I find many of your posts thought provoking and enjoy having the opportunity to join the discussion from time to time.
I do think you are right about one point you have been trying to stress:
Successful pro's can, like me, find more freedom to explore things such as stables than the average person. Our immersion into bdsm as a vocation simply allows us more freedom to explore some things which would be impossible for others due to time constraints &c.
Milliscent-
Thanks for your compliment.
Yes, I can see how being your vocation, rather than merely an avocation, provides you with much more latitude regarding slave stables.
Plus, it's likely that males in contact with you have different, more amenable expectations which allow a successful Pro to have multiple male submissives, even in close proximity, with rather less jealousy, problems, etc.
-saratoga
saratoga,
Yes. It offers me amazing freedom, and wonderful opportunities. That is exactly why I sold my vanilla business and turned my avocation into my vocation.
As for your second point. I don't think that I can agree with it. I don't believe that jealousy or expectations are any different at all. It is extremely difficult to find ones perfect match, pro or non pro. The search though, oh how fun the search can be!
Milliscent-
Interesting, re: my point #2 and your reply.
I thought, with an explicit stable situation, your males would be less prone to jealousy.
Especially if there is not sex routinely involved.
You always provide such interesting, helpful observations on these sorts of points.
-saratoga
saratoga,
I have found that jealousy can rear it's ugly head no matter what the structure of the relationship. I think that large percentages of poly people struggle with it, at least from time to time.
The trick I think is managing it. Not letting it devolve into this hugely negative emotional influence upon the relationship, and oneself.
