Couch 90 - nine tee - not nine teen.

It's a real word.

Yup. I may have used the dictionary on this one lol

I didn't know that. I thought you invented it and considered it quite creative.

Oh good lord.

Luckily(for both me and the unknown children) , that ship has sailed. Far, far away.
Never to return.
Probably sunk.
Or dashed on craggy rocks.
Or seized by pirates.

Re: posting how my session went. I still do that. It helps me process my sessions, and apparently a lot people like to read about them even if they don't respond. I wonder how Tree is. Does anyone know who I'm talking about? Yeah, a lot of people moved on. Me, I stick to things like glue.

I miss Treehouse and Zoo and Savanah and several others who left years back.

You know what, your sessions are totally different from my own, but reading about your experiences has been helpful for me. Not because my T takes the same approach as yours, but because it's helped me assert my needs and thoughts about treatment during my sessions. So keep posting--we're not all responding, but we're reading and taking notes! Thanks, rainbow.

I find it interesting to see how some people approach things when they report about their appointments. Some people I just don't understand what they are doing or why -- and I know any number of people wonder that about me even though I don't report about the blow by blow actual appointment much. Actually no one has reported anything that sounds like the way the ones I attend go. I don't know if they are more usual sounding to others or not.

No - not the word I mean. But it is a good word to use in other situations.

Do you think the point of therapy is to cure someone of something?

Yes.

(((Tree))) !!!

In my part ofqueensland there are 2 in each shopping centre and about a doz. 2 nd hand.

Thanks for the thread SD! I made a post, let's see what the fallout might be.

So of course DD2's viri are all over me and I'm miserable and sick too. The fever/pain/congestion aren't the killer, the unproductive cough that scours the inside of my chest like steel wool is killing me. I think we'll both be at the doctor tomorrow.

Hope you all had a great weekend! Goodnight.

Very often, yes. Depression, in my case.

Maybe the Gold Coast is especially bibliophobe.

Bleughhh

I'm in two minds but they think alike.

What's up, 88?

I would like to thank the people who gave me (early) birthday wishes. I survived the celebrational thing with my and H's families. (My actual birthday is later this week but H and I almost always celebrate both our birthdays at some point between them.)

Getting older is good. Having a birthday is not. I have given up hope of regaining my enjoyment of my birthday - I used to enjoy it very much, but that's all dead now. But getting older rules. I can't wait to upgrade the digits.

I agree- I like being old. The body doesnT heal as quick and reading glasses are the two downsides I have found. Otherwise it rocks.

I wish I enjoyed the thought of getting older. I don't. Maybe I will get to that point? I hope so.

Well, the alternative is generally distasteful also.
I always wanted to be the age I am now - it seems to be the one that fits me.

Which alternative?

I liked my twenties. Late twenties.

The only one where you don't get older is to be dead.

I loved being 30
