Couch 136: Transference Welcome!

Thanks for telling about the poem/lyrics

And lollllll at proposed alternate avatar, though I can't even come up with a basic hypotheses as to what horrible thing made that cat so very upset!

Here's a link to the Modest Mouse song if others are interested! (The JDNA part is all the way at the end):

I go to the website on my laptop, go to my profile , and click the upload button

Ah maybe it's because I'm always on a mobile device.

Same, though when I went to the forum through the browser I was able to set one up.

I hope you enjoy your trip!

Makes me happy... well smile... happy can be a strong word.



I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am

There's a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry
Which stood on rocky shores
And kept the beaches shipwreck-free
Though I respect that a lot
I'd be fired if that were my job
After killing Jason off
And countless screaming Argonauts
Bluebird of friendliness
Like guardian angels it's
Always near

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

@daisy? How was your event yesterday? Sorry if I missed anything

@dna: I hope you don't starve yourself too much...

Aww I'm touched you remembered! It was pretty uneventful honestly. Kids were well behaved. Had a good chat with the superintendent. But for some reason I was in a sour mood most of the day.

How has your day been Demunie?

Hihi. Glad it went well! I'd guess that you just haven't had enough sleep, but don't know where that idea comes from

My day was ok, thx for asking. I'm trying to keep myself occupied right now, in order not to get too stupid ideas.... You know, just coping from one minute to the other

(I'm using too many smiles. It's a wonder stopdog hasn't killed me yet)

Your current avatar is your assistant medical coder the new one has kidney stones

If using smiles is wrong, I don't want to be right.

And I know that struggle all too well, trust me. It's why I keep so busy professionally. Actually very scared about Spring Break.

Hide behind me, youll be safe!

Oh good lord.
Use them if you must. I find them an abomination. I just wish they were blockable. I don't understand the compulsion but there is no need for me to do I suppose

Oh gosh... I'll have one week of that too in a week. Damn. Glad I'm at a university where teachers don't care about the words "free time" and "vacation"

*Hides behind unaluna*

I keep telling you, its astigmatism. Or some other eye cootie. Im not a doctor but i play one on pc.

Blinkies and mandarin. I can't understand anything you say.

I am watching a rather silly but not completely unamusing movie on YouTube called stiff upper lips.

At the supermarket today they had samples of flavored Peeps. I loathe Peeps, but the fruit punch one was okay.

Twitter and Instagram allow emoji-blocking. Why not PC?

There's only one proper way to eat Peeps.

Throw them directly in the garbage.

And Demunie, I hope that you'll be able to enjoy a little bit of down time! I'm going to try not to do much, but we shall see.

I only like peep flavored peeps. I had a strawberry one last year, it was grosssssss!!!!

Peeps......gross

See, I hate the texture, so they could put any flavor in them, and I'd still hate them!

Peeps? Are they are bird shaped lol ly or a human shaped one? I'll go look it up I guess just cute animal shapes but is it a thick marshmallow texture I would hate that. I love pascals marshmallows though

My ex and daughter mowed the lawn at my new house and my ex rang to tell me I have active termites, this was confirmed by the neighbour apparently. Something else to wake me in the middle the night in a panic.

And Peep-jousting!

Microwaved Peep transforms into horta-like creature:

hey couchies! h and I went out to breakfast this morning and then grocery shopping. actually had a pretty fun shopping excursion, because we planned this one to the t, to spend no more than $100 (we picked $100 because we had a coupon for $10 off $100) and a handful of other coupons. We got out of the store for $98 and change all total. And that included a bottle of wine for meeeee!

This morning before we got up, we were laying in bed talking and h suddenly mentioned that whole "I don't have to say (I love you)" thing again. I guess my little spectacle at our friend's house last weekend really made him think. We talked about it a little more, and cleared the air between us some more, so that was good. I'm cautiously optimistic that things are looking better in my marriage again. I told t the other day when we were talking about what happened last weekend at our friend's house, that during that blowup of mine I did realize that I want things to work with h. I told her, we've been together for 20 years (married almost 19 of them) so there must be something there worth holding onto. She said yes, there must be.

I still wish I could have gone to t's today. Work was so stressful this past week, especially yesterday... being in her office has such a calming effect on me. Ah well. H and I had fun this morning, and I'm getting laundry done now and deleting a ton emails that have built up and will do some baking this afternoon. A pretty relaxing day all in all. (Laundry is relaxing to me because the sound of the machines running is like a calming white noise, and I don't even mind folding the clothes... they're nice and warm when they come out and that's relaxing too.)

I don't think I ever said, but whoever created this couch, great title!!
