Couch 56...Getting Back to our roots

Poison? Yes we have black widows and brown recluses in Texas. Then there is the hair band from the 80's

Hi Jersey!

Mast I have some huge spiders that make huge webs betweeen posts on my porch... I dont kill them since they hide during the day but if they are in my house they are fair game for killing.

((( Healed ))) - I'm thinking of you today.

((( Granite ))) - Yikes, that would've scared me too! A warning would've been nice, geez!!!

((( MKAC ))) - Glad you survived the battle with the spider. I have a spider in my house that I can't quite reach that I believe is the mama of all the teeny baby spiders that have been coming down off my ceiling. I thought to myself, poor thing is just trying to live her life - and here I am, contemplating destroying her. I also have a nasty one on my deck that keeps remaking its web at night - so when I go out there, I walk into strands of it constantly. YUCK!

Hey Jersey!!!! (( HUGS ))

I'm sorry Mast... Is something up?

((( Mastodon ))) - I think I understand, and I hope you're ok.

((( Lola ))) - Good luck at your first session with this new T!

Lola...thinking of you with your new T appt... hoping it feels ok for a first visit

I cannot even see that quote of Mast's. What is going on Mast? Was it the spider discussion?

You do? Could you please enlighten the rest of us?

I don't know exactly what's going on - but I can understand the conflicting feelings that occur from being on PC....the caring I feel towards the couch peeps, wanting to support and learn and grow....butting up against the triggery stuff that makes PC also painful place to be.

Mast, I hope you're okay.

sorry mast

Hi. Sorry. I'm not ok, but that's not because of PC (and definitely not because of spiders). It was really stupid of me to post - I should have learnt by now to just close the browser when I'm triggered that badly. I'll be fine. It's just kind of a difficult time right now so my threshold is too low and I overreact to things. I'm really sorry. Nobody here has done anything wrong in any way - it's simply my stuff, wbich I react badly to.

I do like spiders though.

As an atonement, let me show you what I made today - it's a kind of book known as p iano hin ge. (weird spacing because I don't want this to be googlable) This is just a prototype of something I mean to make for my sister's birthday party in a month's time - I'll make five or six of these books, as guest books, only in nicer paper and with pretty covers (hopefully). I'm nowhere as talented as for instance granite, but I think it might come out pretty nicely.

Back from t appointment.. T made me promise not to isolate myself.. Said infront of my BFF... So she kidnapped me for the night. I kinda want to hide in the corner and cry, but I won't for now. I will write about the session later.

Wow Mast...that is really pretty. I love it...

That's so cool, Mast.

Hey! Just passing through. Hope everyone is coping ok. Glad to see Lola has a T at last. Still getting over the realisation that my T is human.

can i decorate your book covers with my paper marbling

Wow Granite! How do you do that?

Those are lovely, granite!

I used to do paper art (although I was far less talented than you are!) and remember making some marbled papers with ink and shaving cream. I don't remember the details.

I do not think this. I do not think you are sympathy seeking, and I sure as HELL don't think you have a victim mentality. I wrote that those are the things that LEAD to a victim mentality (not saying what you need, then being disappointed you don't get it). I am so sorry Ready, I wasn't meaning to offend you at all. I just was trying to...hellz, I don't know what I was trying...but it wasn't meant the way it sounded. I don't think you are like that at all. Not for a minute. I was more referring to the article. Ugh. I write stupid things. Sorry.

PButton... 89.6514789 novemdecillion points. Every nonhuman life is worth saving. lol.

Cool binding Mast.

Hollah to the rest of yous...specially JerZ 2.0!

Today I rescued a juvenile seagull. It's mom was hit and killed by a car, and the poor little bugger was wailing over her body. Heart-wrenching! So I retrieved him and brought him to the clinic.

Granite...those are so freakin cool!

Dang...even my apologies suck.

i keep hearing about the shaving cream thing .i dont know how to do it that way

Paper marbling looks like something I should look into, thanks granite.
