The Couch 116: Puns Tsar Terrible...

Have I sung the praises of custard lately. Warm and filling. Mashed potato next.

Hello???

There is an explanation somewhere for the 8 character rule.

Yes, here: http://forums.psychcentral.com/commu...mum-posts.html

Other people were wondering earlier. I read it ages ago. Thanks Crocus. Hows your weekend?

I'm really tired but its too early to go to bed. I think I am coming down with flu. I hate being sick, who will look after the puppy?

Thanks for asking, BY - it's been pretty good. I went out walking yesterday, when H was away; I dissociated a bit but it was rather pleasant all the same. I walked in the forest which is next to our house. Now I'm about to leave for choir practice - we have a concert this evening. I should be cleaning hourse because we're having visitors next week, but I'm feeling a bit listless. Still, it's not fair to let H do all the work.

How has your weekend been? (when I posted this I hadn't seen your post about coming down sick - I hope you'll feel much better soon!!)

Growlycat, kefir is a great probiotic. It tastes like a thin yogurt smoothie on its own but I add frozen fruits or a banana in a blender and it thickens up nicely. As a bonus it has a lot of protein!

I sound like I am on drugs in that thread.

I thought you sounded very coherent!

Junior cat is giving me the silent treatment. When I finally got home at 4 am, he opened one eye halfway, then closed it again. Well, we'll see how he acts when he gets hungry.

I thought they were good for your liver - not necessarily diuretic.

I LOOOOOOVE Owen meaney. The movie is not bad either. I like short stories. Tolstoy had some doodles. A couple of years ago I finally rediscovered my favorite, about the chewing gum who took over the boy. It was by Steinbeck. I was assuming it was ring lardner.

Hi hi hi

Back home from the concert - not our best performance but I hope it went OK. Our recessional was (not quite as beautifully performed) and the guy standing behind me kept stressing "good LORD" which made me think of stopdog.

Am absolutely knckered now. It was a pretty taxing programme, with music from the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th century, as well as a piece written this year. We're going to sing it on tour in Germany next month.

I have no idea.... 😳

That sounds like an enjoyable time. I want to tour Germany singing!

Couch singing tour?

I'll be the manager - I appreciate other people's singing, but enough to know that mine is subpar.

Germany! How exciting! Sounds like a fun tour.

Our next tour is Scandanavia but I doubt I will be going. College payments coming up. Someday . . .

I have the opposite of a therapy hangover. I don't know exactly what it would be called, but the warmth and caring and therapy-love that I felt from t yesterday is still with me today and it feels lovely. Maybe it's also that I've been doing a better job of loving myself lately too, is part of it. I seem to have solidified some good changes and growth just in the past two weeks. I still have my moments of course, but I'm handling them without t - more precisely, without external t - I've got her internalized now and am learning how to access that when I need to and I can even hear her saying what she would say if I told actual her. And reaching out to my couch friends is so valuable too. Thanks for being here, y'all.

Crocus I'm sure your concert went better than you imagine! I bet it's challenging to change centuries /styles like that! ETA: and touring in Germany? That's so exciting! My brother and his wife are preparing to move there very soon, my Army brother's going to be the Command Chaplain of (American) NATO. I'm SO super proud of him!!

BY I hope you feel better quickly!

I'll join the couch singing tour!! I love to sing. Especially in the shower and in the car! Used to sing in church choir back in California but haven't since we moved to Arizona, mostly because I don't go to an actual church anymore.

heard a song I've never heard before in the grocery store this morning, "Almost Lover" and it's just haunting, I love it, I must learn it so it can be my new shower-singing song.

That's a beautiful song.

Blame autocorrect and forget about it - is usually my plan

Good advice in any situation, I think.
