Welcome to the Couth that Would Not Die - Episode 37: Clean up that Cool Whip!

SAWE, I need some help over here. People that support a diversionary sport(football) need some counseling. After all, women's soccer is the only sport that really matters.

Sorry that you are not feeling well (Lola). I like cushion as I'm a bit plump and cushiony myself lol

Field hockey.
and women's rugby. (I nearly died playing that).

Murray, if he is breaking the law I would turn him in, can you do it anonymously? Will it prevent other victims? Weigh out the pros and cons , but I belive in karma. What the heck is soccer and why is stopdog watching girls playing in a field?

she is out of the office untill monday now. i am not going to e-maol her i want to but i know it would not make her happy. i just don't want to be feeling this way. if i still feel this way monday i will ask you ALL to bully me into calling her . you know i would probibly have a heart attack if i do that and maybe my T would also. i dont know i just don't want her thinking bad of me . i know i should not care but i do. i cant work with her if she is going to be horrified by me

Rugby is brutal. Like kill the person with the football from my youth.

STOP my son feels the same about womens soccer lol

although he is a marine he also eats drinks and poops soccer and loves watching womens soccer. he is also on a team i lithuania. only my son can go to lithuania and find a soccer team to play on lol

Thanks Lola. I don't think that there are any other victims and it is a completely different type of criminal activity than what he did to me...otherwise I'd be taking some serious action to put a stop to that. I am afraid that I would be found out even if I did it anonymously...that's me a great big chicken

Murray.... I think that situation is a great one to talk over with T...

Granite... How about calling your T now so that you don't have to think about doing it all weekend but know that most likely she wouldn't respond till Monday and on the odd chance she checks her messages that you will hear back from her sooner? just an option to consider...

Murray - if it's not something that hurts someone else, and you aren't breaking any laws by not reporting it then I don't think you should feel guilty one way or another. It definitely doesn't make you chicken if you don't report it, and you aren't doing anything bad (regardless of motives) if you do.

Good night couch friends.

Thank goodness my older son said ...don't forget to get brownie mix when I sent shopping Monday night? I was confused...then he said for our valentine brownies you always make...

I forgot that I usually make heart shaped brownies for them on valentine's day... I don't know where my mind is ... but i'm forgetting my own traditions...

Sleep well Healed.

Good nite H84.

thanks ready i am terrified to call her i really am and i dont think her answering machine picks up after hours. anyway i am trying to just be with it . i mean it isn't that big of a deal .at least this is what i am trying to convince myself. if i sit on this the worse that i thnk will happen is i will be so convinced she hates me next wednsday i just wont talk

Goodnight, couch cushions. Sleep well. I hope you all have sweet dreams.

not so far, lol

Granite... it would be hard for me to do to... but once I did call T and ask him to tell me it was okay to have told him something... it was Tree/Nighsky who gave me the courage to call... it's hard to tell someone else what is best...to learn to sit with the feelings or to call and ask for what you need... I think you have to try it both ways in order to know what works best for you...

But we will convince you to call on Monday if you are still feeling bad so hopefully even the worst won't happen. Granite - I think you are showing real growth in how you are dealing with this. I know you are scared and I am sorry, but your scared at least sounds more manageable then it has in the past. I'm sorry if I'm wrong, but that is what I am hearing in your posts. (Also - she doesn't hate you.)

women's soccer is the only futbol that really matters. Everyone knows a round ball is much better.

well not to belabor the obvious, but this is, like, PC after all.... lol

SAWE, a friend of mine called the UNC women's soccer office and guess who answered the phone: Anson Dorrance. Can you imagine Roy answering the phone from an anonymous caller? And Dorrance has 21 NCAA titles.

I love these!! I'm sending one to H tomorrow.

[Note: I almost typed "I love you". Freudian typo?]

I had the consultation / interview with the T from the group I may join. I think that I am going to go through with the group, but as far as the meeting goes - ugh, just ugh. Within the first couple of minutes she stopped to ask if I was okay. At this point I started to pinch myself just so I wouldn't lose control. She asked me several times if I was still there. I said yes, but at the very end, after I divulged a few things, I don't think I really was. I realized this as I was meeting alone with my T. I just felt strange and even more disconnected then I can at times. I was in a daze most of the evening, but now I just feel icky. I will add oogie and acky as well.

I don't think I have ever gone off on anyone responding to my posts. Tone is hard to get in text, I suppose. I am sorry if you feel you cannot respond. Sorry if I caused the couch to feel unsafe for you.

Granite, personally, I think you're pretty great. I've been reading here for over 2 years, and I have seen you go through such an amazing transformation for the better. It seems like the couch has helped you be more confident, so I am glad that you have that. I think I can say that honestly.
