C O U C H 39 -The Renaissance Period

I sent an apology to SAWE .. I was only playing....

Im outtie.... I go home and "talk" to the W as she informed me this morning!

Hi all.

There's a bush fire about 10 minutes from my place, which doesn't often happen in this urban/ suburban area. My mum called me to inform me that she was watching helicopters picking up buckets of water from the ocean.

Have you ever seen Kung Fu? In middle school, it was my favorite show, so I asked my wife for the entire boxed set for an anniversary present. Virtually unwatchable. What do kids know?

Good luck to you CE, i hope it works out.

Eek, Night. That's scary. I hope they get it under control soon and that no one gets hurt.

Chopin, you've inspired me. I'm going to a reunion of sorts this weekend with 30 of my closest friends. I decided I need to do something funky with my hair. I'm chicken, though, so I got purple and teal spray dyes that (theoretically, at least) wash right out. I'm blonde, so they should show up pretty well.

I have read some of your other posts on different threads. What seems to work best for me is if your T is making you upset then it's time to get another one. Cancel your appointment with her and it's done.

I just changed pdoc's I called canceled the appointment to the old pdoc and made an appointment for the new one.

I'm thinking too hard about my problems need to go chill. Thanks all.

therapy is hard even when T says she is sorry but thar there is a method to her madness. that it really isnt madness at all

No, that was me Lola. I especially made a fool out of myself as I never drink and tonight I had a diet Mt. Dew and it made me a little crazy!

Hope you're safe Night. The winds aren't blowing your way are they?

Why are ya cryin' granite? Things will be ok.

What happened Granite? I'd like to hear about your session if you feel like talking about it.

(((granite))) what happened chickie? You okay?

No chance the fire will head anywhere near this way. Too much urban stuff between me and it! They evacuated the houses nearby, but I think they're allowing people to go back now, so hopefully they get in under control before it does any serious damage. Apparently it started at 2am and they're expecting firefighters to be needed there for a couple of days.

How did she steal it? Did you give it to her? I agree in not giving them power over you. You should take that back. I just don't think saying she has to give it back or do anything or you will leave. It is the ultimatum I see the hurdle with.
I don't think power over ME can or should or is a good idea to share.

I think sharing is kind of over-rated and fairly false when it comes to children - the kid has to share his toys, but adults are not expected to share their new ferrari or rolex or macbook air etc just because someone else covets it.

And that is why we each have a room all to ourselves. No sharing required in that space.

i'm ok ill talk about it later i kind of need a nap

It depends. The 3 yr old has a toy, she is entitled to it and another kid can't take it from her. But, she can not scream bloody murder when the other child picks up a different toy to play with.

I totally Joey Ramone'd it today with daughter's skinny jeans and my converse american chucks. I rocked it old skool like a 12 yr. old boy. Somehow that made me feel good. So weird, so freakishly weird. How does a 47 yr old cpa enjoy dressing like a 12 yr old boy? Good thing I have T tomorrow.

ok chickie. Whenever you want to.

Are they all her toys? If I have two cars, does that mean anyone who comes over gets to drive my other car? Sharing spouses and lovers does not work out well usually.
This may be where mkac and I meet in the middle - this idea is running roughshod over children in my opinion. Or maybe I just remember my mother giving my stuff to others without asking me or sometimes without even telling me or her just messing with it. And one of her excuses was sharing.

The only thing about the sprays is that they're powdery. I sprayed mine black before I went back and it flaked.

One of my employees noticed my hair. The other two didn't. It's actually pretty subtle.

I have to admit I probably would not notice if someone changed their hair. If I did notice, I probably would not be able to remember what color it was, just that now it was different.

Hmmm...I look boyish today too. Chucks, skinny jeans, a wife beater, and a hoodie.

Tomorrow I have to dress up for a meeting. Meh.

Hold on there - you have two cars? I fell on the bus today you know!!

Honestly, it would have to be pretty drastic for me to notice. Like when one of my employees went from mouse brown to fire engine red. I noticed that.

Well yea, but you seriously can't have a 3 yr old screaming "MINE, MINE" all the time. They need to be able to play with others. Seriously, I am not asking them to share their blankie or their bottle or anything. (not that 3 yr olds have bottles). Some things you share, some you don't. You do have to teach them to respect other's stuff too. Balance I guess. My kids had to share, but they had their own stuff as well.

I said "if ..."
I don't have two cars.
I have 2 bicycles and two dogs and two cats and two motorcycles. But not cars.

Oh. I already have a bicycle . I hate theoretical questions!

What kind of motorcycles? Want to share?
