Since this thread has reached 100 pages (over and over), it has to be started again in order to keep it going.

This can be a place to just drop by... ask a question, chat, find a friend, share your wisdom, etc. Although most people here are in therapy or have had therapy, there are lots of people who haven't. Everyone is welcome!

P.s. If no one's here, leave a message and someone'll get back to ya! OTOH, not all posts here get seen or responded to - if you want a response on an issue, it's best to start a regular thread - this is a fast moving thread and sometimes comments get overlooked, it's nothing personal.

Chop will decorate later!

Hey TTGB...think we can burn down this couch tonight? You're trying to get to 2000 and I'm trying to get to 3000.

Chop lets do it. One for one. You post I post.

[Chopin99]

I'll try...but right now, my minds going: "wannapaintwannapaintwannapaint". So I'm going to paint for a little while and come back in 30-45 min.

Okay-H just walked in anyway. See you back here a little later.

I'm still at work....Ill holler at yall later, month end is a *****!

Lola OUT!

TTGB is a POST *****! There I said it . Way too funny, i had to read 5 pages of TTGB. lol. Cracked me up.

So here's how things are going for me:
H: let's take my mom out to eat, what does everyone want?
MIL: Clam Chowdah (well, she said chowder...but anyways)
Son: Fried Scallops
Daughter: Clam Strips
H: Fish and Chips
Wiki: um??? Spinach...tofu...artichokes?

So we end up at a clam shack that didn't even have bottled water. I sat there watching while everyone ate. They had steamed broccoli, but it had butter on it already.

So now I am home, and I am baking an artichoke with garlic.

That sounded snooty. I wasn't pushy or anything, I get that they like the local cuisine. I'm just really hungry. Sometimes I feel stupid being vegan.

so...686 posts until I hit 5000...maybe I can burn thru the couch in one night?

It's miserable to watch other people eat. Actually, that chowdah sounds mighty good right now!

Let's do it.

Wiki-it's not stupid being Vegan. You didn't sound snooty at all. Your hungry. Hey-when I'm hungry I'm down right mean. Artichoke and garlic sound yummy.

[Chopin99]

Where is my H? He is 30 minutes late. That is not usual for him. He normally calls.

I think we can get thru this couch in one night, but I'm gonna have to join in at 10pm cause I'm doing stuff right now.

So I know some my fellow couchkateers are painters. How I wish I could paint with any accuracy - I would so LOVE to be able to paint what I see in Active Imaginations, or to even be able to paint what I create in t's sand tray. I've never actually tried to paint, maybe I just assume I can't, cuz I can't draw at all. I HAVE tried to sketch these things. I have no idea how to show perspective. I need to hire one of you painters to paint from my descriptions. I would imagine one would need to know how to draw before one could attempt to paint something. Any good videos or books you painters can recommend that might get me going in the right direction? T says I don't need to be able to draw or paint them because I can write them so well in my poetry, but I still want to be able to. Stubborn me.

Chop did you try to call him yet?

[healed84]

I spent a summer making speciality pizzas w/o a lot of artichoke hearts.. So, can't go near them anymore.. You didn't sound snotty at all.

Chop- hope you husband is home soon.

I found a new daycare provider.. woot, woot! And she is $20 cheaper than my previous! H and I are currently brainstorming fun family things to do this weekend before school starts.

[WikidPissah]

I do enjoy painting, and sketching. I am not very good though. My mom was an incredible artist, she used oils and pastels, and she had a pottery wheel. My daughter is awesome, she draws anime pinup girls mostly, but she sculpts quite well too.

Home from the gym. Zumba-ed and yoga-ed and all relaxed and happy right now.

All you have to do is try. I never had any lessons or anything, I just tried... Besides, I wish I wasnt such a perfectionist, I mean some famous artist paint all sorts of skewed images. You should just try...start with acrylics...they are easier... I also enjoy chalk pastels

Pin up girls? You have my attention.
