To wit.

Madame T would never have let me sit that close.

I think I tried using tapatalk a few years ago for a different forum - I found it to be a pain in the ***. I would not bother trying to defeat the feature here. I think the ignore feature is a good thing. I have been baffled once or twice at being on someone's list. Usually though, for me, the feeling is quite mutual.

It is not the same - I need a place to rest my notes.

2) or, and this is the more...interesting...option, make like the sites that clone your pet as a stuffed animal (I did have one make a version of senior cat - which fooled two other cats into thinking it was a cat) and to ensure accuracy require like ten photos of the subject from every possible angle? ("But why, client, do you want a picture of my rear end?")

I also think clothes should be sold separately, to maximize profits.

And I think una should be in charge of same-day delivery. They don't call them zipcars for nothing! She might take pay in the form of moon pies, too.

Surely you can buy Sigmund Freud dolls off the shelf?

I dispute this.

Currently searching Ikea for flat-packed lecterns to enable my pontificating at these idiot wedding people

It makes sense that there is an ignore feature, but this new knowledge makes me concerned about how many people choose to ignore me. I use Tapatalk 99% of the time so I would never know.

Curse you, overstimulated reaction to rejection!

Poor Sigmund, taking all the needles for these completely unrelated therapists

I say let the man rest in peace, and pay us $70 (delivery moon pie surcharge not included) for a personalized therapist voodoo doll

What? Why?

I found out once that I was on someone's ignore list (they are no longer on PC -- at least with the same username) and I took it as a badge of honor (I'd found their posts a trifle idiotic, to say the least and had said so...a few times).

While I fully support pontification, wedding idiots are probably a very unreceptive lot. First there is usually some scary insane wedding planner and second -most of these people, one at least hopes, are not going into it expecting for the occasion to arise again - so they have no reason to pay any attention at all.

The going rate for customized dolls (albeit, for less nefarious purposes) is in the $130-150 range (at least based on my quick survey).

Plus, there are all of ATAT's customizing ideas to be added.

I think we are looking at raking it in, to say the least.

We sometimes take bets on when they'll divorce. Not like we'd ever know. It would be amusing to have a repeat customer.

I've played a few obviously shotgun gigs. One of them- everyone at the ceremony was miserable, bride had her arms crossed during vows, priest gave some zinger-filled sermon about fidelity, and afterward the bride approached us to give us the checks and remarked, "well at least the music was nice"

I do wonder if I annoy people enough to put me on their ignore list.

Also, they've been drinking.

Just imagine, for the cost of a single out-of-network session, your therapist can be yours forever.

Evening couch.

I am home from CVS, fed, caught up on the couch, and procrastinating on completing my assignment as well as on cleaning. Bad Squirrel.

I need to take my evening meds still. I have them out of the vials and beside me on the desk, I just need to put them in my mouth and swallow them.

I checked my email while on lunch break today and had a response from pdoc. He said the lactating is not dangerous and related to the meds effects on dopamine. He said we would talk about it at my next visit though, not to worry, and that everything would be fine. Short and to the point, but a response. What much could he say in email anyways.

stopdog · Jun 03, 2017, 07:40 PM

I don't think it is always that one is personally annoyed by the other person. I think it can happen if someone gets upset over certain issues. Or someone uses a weird font, or any number of reasons.

There was another one where the groom passed out. His mother thought he'd had a heart attack, called 911 then everyone gathered around him and sang Amazing Grace. He woke up because he was just hungover.

It is amazing how washing your hair can make you feel better, at least for an hour or so. i am contemplating an overseas trip.

atisketatasket · Jun 03, 2017, 07:49 PM

I am making mini quiche.

I look forward to the day when I can whisk eggs without hearing future ex's voice in my head, telling me I'm doing it wrong.

Jun 03, 2017, 07:50 PM

I have never travelled anywhere in my country maybe I should do that first.
