Couch 95: No title required

Hey everyone we lost another pet today, my DD1's 13 year old "big girl." Starting to feel like a pall is on our house. Sorry been absent just very angry today.

SM, so sorry for your loss.

I was already a nurse and a bit likeSD it seemed a little too woo woo even for me.

I agree, js said o much better than me.

You remembered! gotta admit, the resemblance is remarkable!

ETA - finally baking the frozen then thawed then marinated tofu: it certainly does hold its shape better! Not a single crumble! No slices were lost. Hope the sloppy joe sauce is yummy. Next time, maybe peanut thai sauce. Whole Foods used to make a great tofu salad with that and red and green peppers (fresh sliced). :

Today I cried in session. I though i was going to die, ifelt this huge pressure coming down on me i also felt stupid and great shame. My T was most undrstanding, i dont know why this surpries me so much. So after 5 years in T i have finally cried and i lived to tell the tale.

I still dont know what T means by honouring the tears.

Could be different for your T. For mine, it's respecting the trust and vulnerability displayed by the client. Because it takes trust and feelings of safety to be able to be vulnerable and shed tears.

So I just found out that I don't have to report to Jury Duty tomorrow, which I guess is good even though I had the day set aside on my calendar.

Stressed - sorry to hear about your pet. I hope things get better soon.

I have no idea what they mean when they say honouring anything. The first one I see used the phrase once - I was completely clueless.

This sounds very plausible.

What arrogant prat told you that?

There is another option: that person doesn't deserve as much respect as you are giving them.

(I really really hope it wasn't me!)

My impression is, letting them live; allowing them to exist. You dont stifle something you would honour - you let them express themselves. Like in basketball - when someone is taking a foul shot free throw - the people in the stands from the opposing team usually are NOT honoring that player! They are trying to mess him up.

Oh no!

It was a pun on the dual meaning of alien.

Well done!

Don Quixote was a Castilian from La Mancha (Central Spain south of Madrid). Not a Catalan.

What was that about the appearance of knowledge? Thanks!! I will have to improve my word matching program!

Not quite what I meant Mast! You have every right to write about your experiences. (I don't know about you, but I often find it helpful...) I was trying to point out that people may disagree, but that's okay because they are not you, living your life and will never understand fully. I often find there's plenty to be learned from disagreement though...


Of course, you have every right to not write too, but you should make that decision for yourself, not base it on some random internet person's opinion...
Did you see that, I just discounted my own opinion... I think I got too much sun today

Well, as long as you're not telling me you're curing cancer by packing your abdominal cavity with baking soda or somesuch I'll let you away with it

I'm sorry Stressed

Can i say im curing cancer by packing it with fat? At least id be half right

That makes sense. For 5 years i haveput him through just about every test i can thnk of. I mut be able to trust him.
