Couch 91 - Forget the small change

Just checking. I probably would have advised a doctor's visit at that point.

Is it time for my story about how i once pulled an eighteen inch boogie out of my nose / sinuses like a magician pulling out multiple handkerchiefs??

Today is the longest. day. ever. Argh.

You measured it??

I hope you are over the "goo" stage soon, SD. That is a miserable state to be in.

I want this on my headstone - and that i once made a 7-10 split spare.

Ha. It would take more than that to get me to an md. Usually I give things about a month or so to clear up unless some bone part is hanging at an unnatural angle or there is an alarming amount of blood pouring out.

I dont know how you can stand being miserable that long. I would be using your blowtorch as a neti pot.

Is it coming out of your eyes? When my son gets a snotty cold it comes out of his eyes. Not his ears though thankfully enough...

Is this one related to fish stories?

The couch goes quiet, and then it erupts with talks of goo, boogies, and general yuckiness! EEK!

At this point, I've hit my out of pocket maximum for the year. So me? Ha. I'm going to the doc. No co-pay. No co-insurance. Thanks US healthcare system for being so expensive that I get to apply that to this big-@s$ bill from being IP.

Yes - highbrow day here on the couch.

I don't think I have ever hit my out of pocket maximum. If I have to go to an md - I usually go to the box things or the drugstore clinic to pick up antibiotics.

Just got back from a tour of the Coast Guard Vessel Safety branch, including an explanation of what they do. It was interesting.

But they don't moniter ship noise, which affects whales and other marine mammals. I went with the Cetacean Society and nobody knows anybody who does except probably the Navy and that's probably classified.

Is nobody running this store? This is just so, so, so not good. So, so, so not good.

The part about clothing/presentation that is odd for me is that there's shame mixed up in feeling too feminine, which is why I tend to dress more neutrally. And I kind of like some of the positive attention when I'm dressed more feminine, but anything that leans even slightly into objectification makes me sick, and my threshold for feeling even slightly objectified is extremely low.

Re: values, maybe this is a cultural difference. I know there's plenty of stay-at-home fathers out there in the world, and I know that's more prevalent in Europe, but I've never met a stay-at-home father here in the U.S. I have heard stories of men (here in the U.S.) feeling emasculated if the children's mother made more money than them, and in these instances the mother stayed home and put her career on hold to raise the kids. And there's nothing wrong with that arrangement, either. But even if it doesn't make financial sense for the mother to stay home with the kids, it happens quite often from what I understand. But you're right--if the financial incentives are there, people will take advantage of them. I think if the U.S. had more options for paternity leave and other parental support, we'd see a lot more stay-at-home fathers here. And hopefully it would help them feel less emasculated as well.

That was rambling, hope it made some sense!

Heh, whoops, I messed up the vibe!

the couch is flexible, KayDubs. you didn't mess it up

Haha, I know. Just the juxtaposition of my post with the talk of boogies made me chuckle.

Here, have a ridiculous video.

I love the diversity of the couch plus it all seems so natural somehow,sexuality, word definitions and snot.

Snot is one of my personal areas of expertise. Along with barf, drool, poop and pee. I come armed with vinegar, baking soda, Febreeze and plenty of paper towels

I wish to say something on the subject of sexuality, asexuality and fluidity of sexuality, but im not as articulate as mast and kays. I might have to wait for this afternoon when my brain is functioning better

Hope all the sickies are wrapped up with their lemsip or potion of choice.

In spite of my laziness i wrote an essay plan.it is crap and will have to have many edits. At least i started it.

Go for it, BPA! It's all good. There's plenty of people that post here that, when I read their posts, I think "that's so articulate, thank you for saying that!"

Finally out of the house! I think I'm going to tell my boss this Saturday thing is not working out. I don't know who hates being cooped up in the house more - me or the seven year old. Plus I didn't get to take a single call, and my phone rang less than 10 times in total. I hate hanging around doing nothing. It makes me feel ick.
