c o u c h 38 - The dark ages....

uuuuummmmmm. I may, in fact, have been chopping vegetables with a wicked sharp knife at the time.

Ok, your gonna need a game plan now... Perhaps the knife caused you to say that... Like if you had been golfing at the time, it would have been bludgeon to death.

I want to quadruple hug the SD now, because I feel moved.

I could have sworn I joined a well established couch. And I do remember MKAC heroically saving the seizing woman. And soon after Hankster saved a drowning man. Wow...heroes from the get go. And me wanting to quit t, which I didn't do until August. Listen to me whine about him for months...sheesh. What a freakshow I am.

You are NOT a freak show, Wikid! You have been through some intense stuff in the last year.

Wiki.... I agree with MKAC, you have had your fair share and then some of SH IT this past year!

I don't think there is reincarnation, really, but can I call you Pearl?

Here's a true story...
A guy I was dating was in the service, came home on leave, went to my parents' house but I wasn't at home

so he went to the Janis Joplin concert that was going on that night (I wasn't there either)

He looked and looked for me - and not finding me anwhere, ....... he left.

Now that's true love!! So eventually I married the guy.

hey Fleeing Bellocq, why are you fleeing Bellocq?

would you like (Hilaire) Belloc instead? I do

I had a Great Aunt Pearl, she collected ceramics and married a man who she discovered was a cross dresser. So she divorced him shortly after the marriage and lived alone all her life, well into her 90's.

It was fun to read the first couch.... I just clicked on a page and there was a discussion on Kale chips... nutrion was a topic from the very beginning...

might be why I didn't post for like forever... devoted reader of the couch though...

Afternoon Ready, glad to see you here...

what stories people have. One woman I used to work with said her GF died and when they went to sort out his things, they found a suitcase in the bottom of the closet with.... a.... a.... white robe and a hood... yikes.... !!

lola - My DH had a Great Aunt Pearl too, who lived to be about 100 and was a lovely feisty lady right to the end. She was terrific.

Ok...I've got a story too...

Woman, on bus going to nun class at the nunnery where she will take her vows in one month, meets tall dark handsome naval dude in uniform. They marry and have seven kids, which he beats and she neglects (among other things). She should have stayed on the bus, but then I wouldn't have been born.

Your mom was gonna be a nun?? Crazy....

My dad was a Junior in High school, my mom a Senior... a few dates into it..BAM Mom's prego and Roe vs. Wade was decided a few months after conception!

SD on Couch 1:


oh my, good times.

Hi, couch... In the waiting room at my doc's office. We are gonna talk about asthma and I will also admit to her that stopped my celexa... Shhhh, that is that a secret nobody knows.

Right - Elin was playing golf when she went after Tiger at 10:30 at night... lawyers love precedence, right? (Just tryin to help!)

I'm glad granite sent Lola on that chase. It's been bumping on my mind over and over that we owe Lola for the couch. She really doesn't get enough credit for it. Especially for all the fighting she (and we) had to do to get it. So I'm glad the anniversary didn't pass yet.

And not that I want to argue about it, but I liked having Janis on board. But I'm a little bummed to hear that she was gone before Lola even got here. How ancient am I??!! That's worth an ack or two!

Hey, I fell on the bus today. It was so weird. I had just put my phone away, I think maybe we turned a corner? I was listening to the little kids in the back of the bus making noise, they were so musical. So there were 2 big butted girls in our seat, next thing I know I just slide out and I'm on the floor!! 3 or 4 people helped me up, everybody was very nice, the bus rider asked me twice if I was okay. I didn't hurt myself. It was just startling. I was well padded what with my long underwear and long winter coat. I can't believe how sweet people were.

Thanks! You are all being so kind.

I got a story...

My Grandmother was an Irish Protestant and my Grandfather was Irish Catholic... to my surprise the catholic family was more accepting than the protestant one but not the catholic church (GF was excommunicated)...they had to elope because of the families...anyway fast forward 60 years later after they had passed away my mom found their marriage license...it was from the state of California and not NJ like they always told my mom...

guess back in the day it wasn't proper for them to travel together unmarried... imagine lying to your kid for years over something like that...

oh... and my great aunt was a runner for a bookie back in the day...

There seems to be a consensus that I think power is more important than healing.

No, I'm not happy now I've won. But I'm less unhappy than if I had lost.

Wow, you all have some stories!!

Tomorrow I have T...seems like forever...going every other week...not in a sad I'm missing you kind of way but in a I've packed everything back up and do I want to trudge all of that mess out again sort of way.

Ugh... The amount of weight that I have gained since fall is disgusting. I am truly disgusted with myself!

healed its ok, you had a rough winter.... I'm in the same boat!
