The Couch 119: Come Join The Human Shelf!

Yum indeed! Now you've got me wanting some.

The human shelf title has me feeling like we're all figurines from one of those collectible series.

Not complaining, Ellahmae! I'm taking the opportunity to ask myshelf the deep question "if I were a Precious Moments figurine, what would I be?" I don't know why therapists don't ask that. The answer could be very telling.

My therapist's answer to your question would be -- "Why do you only have to be one type of figurine? Can't you be both or multiple types? And why only Precious Moments? Why can't you be other types of figurines as well? This again seems like judging -- we don't want to judge. It's all-or-nothing / black-and-white thinking again. What does this remind you of? This sounds like what your mother / father did -- it had to be everything or nothing".

P.S. I have no idea about Precious Moments figurines although I did just google them.

Googled 'precious moments figurine death metal' Was not disappointed.

Then this is me (Googled "precious moments swimming"). Mind you, I don't need the floaty ring.

Lol, yes, we are figurines. Here's my figurine representation:

aww how cute atat!! on that note, i think i'll go swimming today. (i don't need the floaty ring either lol)

is this a thread idea? "What Precious Moments Figurine are you?"

We'd have to work therapy in there somehow. Like, if your therapist were a Precious Moments figurine, what would they be, etc.

There are lots of collectible figurines. Doesn't have to be Precious Moments. Hummels are nice.

this would be me

Yikes. I googled Precious Moments and now I cannot un-see it. Gah.

This would be me:

This would be my t if she were a figurine:



Yeah, she scares me.

I'd be a Hummel

Or maybe this haunted Japanese doll

I would be a Jasmine Becket-Griffith figurine:

Speaking of figurines, I was going to order some guinea pigs figurines but never did. I should.

Oh good lord.

I hope this works (I've never tried attaching anything before)
This would be me.

This will make you "Oh good lord" a few more times. It made me "oh good lord."

At first I thought it was a joke, but no, the Precious Moments Chapel the article mentions is real, and is modelled on the Sistine Chapel.

eta: Couch field trip???

Well I decided to go get my hair cut. I wanted a change, y'know, to reflect the internal shift that just came about in the last week or so. I certainly got a change! H likes the style, but he started in on the "I hate the color" again (he can't STAND that I have some gray). I cried when he said that. Because he knows I don't want to color it anymore. It's a pain in the butt, it stinks, it makes my hair feel yucky, etc. He said (and I quote) "Just promise me if the doctor ever tells you I have 3 weeks to live that you'll color it for me then so I can see you with normal hair again." I am 54. What is not "normal" about having some gray? Besides, when I get it cut, they always tell me it looks like highlights.

I do not understand him at all. He gets upset when I am sad but it's so often something HE said or did that I am sad in response to. Like him saying "I hate the color". Anyway, here is me. I'm not crying anymore, and f him.

I'll be the Tsarina of....Ellipses.

My eyes.... my poor eyeballs... my BRAIN!

Your haircut looks really nice! And I don't think there's anything wrong with having some gray hair. Sorry your husband says he doesn't like the color.
