Couch 129: The Semiprime Couch

Mine hides them in my purse until I start to totally panic, thinking I've lost my keys, than, oh, hey, there they are!

The gnome in my house steals my work badge and puts it in stupid places that I would never have left it myself! ha!

The gnome in my house took my sanity-if anyone sees said gnome please tell him I said I'm offering an reward for my minds safe return. No questions asked. Oh, and yes..he also takes my car keys and cell phone on the daily and puts them in other spots.

Ya need a landing strip by your main door. A chair for your purse / backpack, a small shelf or table for keys, ids, bus pass / tokens, the mail. Im not organized, but i always know where my keys are. But then again, i only have one door. That might be the difference? Plus otherwise id never find an umbrella. Or my hiking stick.

sock gnomes. Don't get me started on the sock gnomes

I've got gnomes moving things I've sold on eBay that I have to ship.

no kidding elio! and what i want to know is why they don't take the partners of the ones they've already stolen, instead of one from another pair?! i have a running stack of mismatched socks sitting on my drier collecting dust. i don't know why i don't just toss them and buy new ones all exactly the same.

Sheesh, the Couch is just a hotbed of gnom-ism!

Everyone knows that goblins are really responsible and pinning it all on the gnomes.

Absolutely Art... why not take the remaining singlet... well maybe it's cuz we don't wear them therefore they don't go through the laundry again.

Darn goblins.

The minute you toss them the sock gnomes return the other ones and you are back with mismatched socks and wondering if maybe you waited longer....

In this stupidly addictive game I need to activate a werewolf so it can activate the werewolf I need with the prize at the moment when I ask to search for the activating key they just refer back to each other. Frustrating a werewolf needs to be activated to give you the key or I can spend hours or days searching the whole game

I tend to buy sets that are the same so no one know which was the original mate.. they are all polygamous socks.

It seems as though the "what a shrink thinks" blogger is having a rough go.
I mean I despised her blog and her job and thought she sounded like a horrible therapist, but I am sorry to hear she has cancer. Her reaction to the oral chemo is very similar to what my person experienced. Right down to the dismissive responses of the medical people.

Wow that is a shock about the what a shrink thinks lady. Her blog is less annoying to me than others

Hugs! That kind of tone he took with you , I would find it getting under my skin too.
Hugs!

I think my GP stopped my extra seroquel too soon. I want to see another pdoc to see if there is anything else.

I like the cheese. Squeak! Squeak!

Yeah, I started subscribing to her blog shortly before she was diagnosed. Sounds really awful what she's going through. Surprised she's being so open about her feelings about medical professionals. And I'm sorry your person had a similar reaction to chemo.

She writes really well. It's refreshing. I like her description of how she runs her practice (or, ran it prior to the diagnosis) with an explanation of fees and policies. I haven't read any of her entries prior to dx, but I will now.

I missed this the other night. Forgive me.

Colored pencils is what I like to color with. The shading is fun to play with and they blend really well. I love glitter pens too!

Her posts on what she's going through broke my heart. When she mentions how she asks god or the universe to take anything away, she just wants to be able to mother her kids, I cried. And tears were not triggered from my past experiences. I cried because how she describes her pain (both physical and mental) is so real, it made me just want to reach through the screen and hug her.

She is the only female therapist whose writings I can stand to read. I have read all of her blog entries, some of them multiple times to try to get to the point where a female therapist doesn't make me feel panicky and sick. So far it has not worked but I don't dislike her as a person. I have actually contributed a couple of times to the fund she has going for readers to contribute to.

I knew she was fairly popular. I don't dislike her as much as I do that guy Howes. I doubt I would ever dislike a woman blogger as much as I despise the men, but I did not like the persona she put forth on the blog.
And there is always the fact that I am just rather hard-hearted.

I do, however, recognize some of her cancer response. It was freaky for me to have bags of drugs with hazmat warning all over them and the creepy gasmask/skull picture on all of the containers - and I was not the one who had to swallow it. We did laugh a bit over the do not touch but you must swallow instructions. The oral chemo was not pleasant or even just okay to endure nor effective for my person. But as she goes along, her response to the different chemo regines have gotten worse and worse as her body weakens from the constant barrage.

oh that is sad. i read her blog for a little while, but her ramblings got to be too much for me.
you absolutely do not need to answer this question, of course (and i know you dont need my permission), but i often wonder why so many people suffer the horrors of chemo. is it because there is absolutely a certainty it will kill the cancer, so you suffer now to live a better life? I guess I get that. But it seems like your person has been suffering for a long time now Cancer scares the ever-loving shite out of me.
