Good evening everyone.. I have been up and running since 5:30 am, it feels good to be home in sweat pants with my laptop on my lap. H made stromboli for dinner can't wait to eat it!! I also got my hair done (finally) a cut and highlights, I needed it badly.

Looks like as always everyone has been busy crafting and being all artistic. Looks like a good friday for most people. I hope the weekend contiues that way. Miss you all!!

Sconnie, yum, Chinese food is my favorite! Enjoy!!

this thread is kind of a buddhist exercise, have no expectations, just chant when you feel like chanting, there's no right or wrong, that's how I see it, ommmmm...

You mean people don't feel hurt if no one comments on their post? That's a new concept for me to learn. A useful concept, I might add!!

Hi, Wiki

oops, and good-bye, all. Time to go.

Sep 21, 2012, 06:01 PM

Hi Wiki-I'm glad you checked in. We care about you.

I'll be on later tonight to play with you guys. I'm out with hubby at a Pub. It's wild in here. There may be dancing on bars.

See you all in a couple hours. Hugs to all.

healed84 · Sep 21, 2012, 06:09 PM

Hi Wiki!!

TTGB- take pics if you end up on a bar

Rainbow feel free to come back in anytime!

Hi all. I hope everyone is having a good night! I've caught up an am sending good thoughts to all those that need it. I would reply more individually, but I'm tired, and I burned myself at work, and I just want to space out for a bit. I've seen a few people post that they are going to watch some movies. Does anyone have recommendations? If not I will probably continue with my Doctor Who marathon. I do love the good Doctor.

I'm observing, using a DBT skill. This post will disappear soon, which proves that nothing is permanent. I've got to get off soon; RL is imminent! I'm trying to distract from my therapy woes. I see T Monday and then not for 2 or 3 weeks.

OOPS! I DID MEAN THE THREAD! That's a Freudian slip. It SEEMS like a forum to me, not a thread. I'm not sure why it's allowed as a thread. It's kind of a "chat room" for the psych forum people; it's its own thing. That's cool!

the thread takes some getting used to... as far as it being allowed, well its a jackable thread about therapy and we all know MOST dont like their threads jacked.

Hey all, i feel fast asleep as soon as i got home and just woke up.

so it shall be a long night... lol

Sep 21, 2012, 07:50 PM

TTGB pics would be great, also Pics of your new do would be cool Healed.

I want to relax on the couch here but it's stressful. I guess that's it. Hmm. This is something for me to be aware of.

Maybe we need a slow couch.

I don't entirely fit in either.
1. This thread can be oppressively female.
2. The time zone difference means that most of the fun happens when I am asleep.

I'm not blaming anyone! Just having a wee rant.

I suspect that most patients worldwide are American women, and that is going to show up in any international forum.

There is a men-only section on PC but nothing specifically for yurt-dwellers.

It seems that I'm hooked on the show Sons of Anarchy. Just finished watching the first season on netflix and it is pretty intense. Highly recommend it for people who don't have a problem with a very TV MA show- very violent, strong language, sexual content. eek kind of intense, like I said.

About to start season 2 now. good tv, some gelato and a quilt to curl up with...what more could a girl want? lol

Just admit you love hanging with the women.

Sep 21, 2012, 08:20 PM

Lola-I wish I had pics. Maybe next time.

I need a little nap to. H just went to bed. I wanna go buy some cargo pants but can't find them in stores and never order clothes online.

trdleblue · Sep 21, 2012, 08:25 PM

Murray - I'm going to give it a try. I've heard of it before, but didn't realize that it was on instant.

CE - When I go through my next bout of insomnia, I will be on your time.

Sep 21, 2012, 08:26 PM

I don't deny it. I feel particularly at home with the lesbians. But I'll never be one of them.

Thanks, Blue!

Hi guys!
I've been a little busy lately, so I haven't been around... I am NOT ready for all of these teenager problems I'm having.

CantExplain · Sep 21, 2012, 08:44 PM

Hi Socks!

monkeysocks · Sep 21, 2012, 08:51 PM

Hello!

sconnie892 · Sep 21, 2012, 09:06 PM

Hi all -
I am watching "Anonymous" and cannot get into it. But I am one of those people who feels the need to watch movies to the end even if they are horrid.
