Lighter topic. Hopefully laughter will help those of you hurting.

My t gave me at least 5lbs of various smoked meats (has stopdog been talking to Kashi??) it was very sweet of him and I will enjoy it but an offbeat gift

What is the strangest thing t has given you?

Wait, isn't Kashi vegan?

5lbs of tofurkey would be...........

[growlycat]

He only seems like he would be vegan. Apparently he is quite the carnivore. He fishes a lot and eats his catches.

He just got a new smoker. And he must have had a monstrous turkey. Turkey enchiladas it is!!

I was going to start by saying that this sees like a bigger deception than his sexuality....harrumph.....but immediately got sidetracked by the endless possibilities for juvenile humor in what you've said above and...uhh....his sexuality.

(I shall now go be a good citizen with PG-13 thoughts and rue the fact that my Ts have been so so so so boring. Sigh)

A play knife that retracts into the shaft when pressed against something.

Or a poster of grumpy cat that says "I had fun once. It was awful"

[DodgersMom]

He and I shared a juvenile joke about my bags of meat on my way out of he door

[ruh roh]

I have shared this before, but I had a therapist give me a small rubber insect that she said was a scarab, and before I could stop myself, I said, "I think it's a cockroach." And then she argued back that she knows a scarab when she sees one and I said well, it sure looked like a cockroach to me. Anyway, it was our parting session and I guess she was trying to be nice and I had to go and ruin it. But it was a cockroach, no question.

T gave me a piece of Palo Santo one time (for smudging)

Holy cow, if a T gave me meat (especially the smoked variety) in session, I might reconsider going back to therapy instead of the grocery store. Perhaps my being a hopeless carnivore is due to childhood trauma or something.

One of mine told me the name and address of a tattoo artist that he liked. I did not seriously consider getting ink done by that guy as I am very picky, but I did go to the salon just to see. What I found was a man and a woman yelling at each-other by the door. Way to find clients?

L has never given me anything

M has given me several things, I guess the silliest would be a clay dinosaur ocarina from Mexico. And maybe that blueberry muffin nude print.

[growlycat]

Trying to imagine a blueberry muffin nude print!

Would probably seem weird to others, but No. 3 gave me this little diamond-shaped piece of bling about half the size of a pinky nail as one of her parting gifts to me last month. She always had it on her table - she'd found it on her floor around the time I first started with her - and we had a running joke about it and how she liked it.

So, yeah, to anyone else it's something that fell off a piece of costume jewelry, but not to us.

[stopdog]

I have never had a therapist give me anything. I don't think I would accept anything even if a therapist offered. It would be way too weird for me. Plus it would give them notions.

[growlycat]

No smoked meats stopdog? (I know I know you are capable of making your own!)

Like sewing notions?

Give them a chance to poison me?

They would think we had bonded or something awful like that

My therapist sometimes gives me a headache.

[brillskep]

My therapist has barely given me a handful of gifts over the years. Something symbolic before an exam, books, articles, pieces of chocolate. Nothing odd, ever.

[Wonderfalls]

My now former therapist would have thought it inappropriate to give me a gift, though he accepted small presents from me. The funny thing he did was that when he gave me free drugs he gave them as a present--as though it was the best he could do. He was especially generous when he felt sorry for me.

X t gave me cream for my bottom once. She said it would relieve the pain because I fell in the pavement.

[rainbow8]

I can't think of anything weird. She's given me little things like stones. Maybe the starfish though she wrote something nice about it. All I can think of is she's given me her love, and that feels a little weird sometimes.

A disposable "bs" bag with instructions printed on the bag to open it, talk bs until it's full, then throw the bag away...
