Couch 90 - nine tee - not nine teen.

I am completely regretting the whole experiment.
This is more awful than I imagined it would be.

After the dog walk I may go blowtorch something dangerous just to make me feel better if it explodes.

If you don't have anything else on the horizon to play I would suggest the full trilogy, you wouldn't regret it.

I want some of whatever you blowtorch.

If it involves meat this will be a challenge.

I just came back from dropping in on a community art place and told the owner about a project I started for the meat market theme, a pie with 4 & 20 blackbirds. I was getting frustrated because my crocheted blackbirds weren't anatomically correct and having trouble and getting ready to throw up my hands and quit. She convinced me that what's important is the concept. I'm not trying to fool another blackbird. Really. I needed that reminder. (Scratches head.)

Mother's Day is May 10 here.

CE, I hope you're safe,and stay that way. Anyone else from the area, too. I just tried to google a map of Vanuatu and New Zealand to see how far away they are but a quick search came up empty.

I hope CE's yurt is in good stead.

I have been trying to decide if PC is no longer useful for me. It suited me well when I was in a different mindset. It does makes sense that as I heal and change, my needs will also change.

The problem is that I need to find a new discussion board. Maybe I need to branch back out into some of my other interests. What did I like before I became obsessed with therapy?

I have picked two who are not completely intolerable to me, but the ones I deal with for my clients are something else.

Some people seem to have a negative experience with one therapist and then project that experience on to all therapists, which really bothers me. I also think the use of the word "unethical" is vastly overused re: therapists. Some therapists aren't great at their jobs, but that does not automatically make them unethical.

You're right.. when I first joined lots of people just wrote about how their T sessions went.. and I found that soooo interesting!!

That might be because you don't tend to post positive experiences with therapy so you aren't on the receiving end of it.

...

When people with positive therapy experiences start not sharing their own experience because they know they'll just get received with cynical and negative responses, then there is something wrong here. And trust me, there are many of us who have just chosen not to share as much because we get tired of having to defend our good therapy from those who insist that pretty much all therapy and therapists are unethical swindlers who are preying on the gullible.

Catatonic, is that from spongebob squarepants??

Like Chauncey Gardener - "i like to watch." Storytelling is a human thing from way back. Maybe even nonhuman, cuz what is instinct but passing on storytelling of how to do stuff?

... and that is why you are toddler awesome.

Being There came out a few years before I was born, but I absolutely love that movie. Was it a big deal when it was released? It's so great but I rarely hear people referencing it like I do other movies from that time period. Makes me wonder if it flopped despite how good it is.

I miss bookstores.. we don't have any around me anymore. The closest one is a little over an hour away from us

I find that when I post about how I do it, I get the reaction of others picking my experience apart, telling me
1. I am doing it wrong
2. wondering why I do it.

The sop comes in because I actually don't not mean it. Good lord - I am like a squishly ball of goo today.
What next? Who knows what kind of slippery slope I may be on. Kum-ba-ya and holding hands around a campfire? Letting the woman talk more than once every few months? Hugging?

(Okay - I have now scared myself and am off to walk the dogs)

Good lord. Being compared to full house is worse than kum-ba-ya around a campfire.
It is, in fact, perilously close to getting hugged in the horrification scale.

I think the word you are looking for is horripilation.
