The Couch 149 : Boby Lives On!

I don't think you are being a baby. I do think you are unnecessarily torturing yourself and I wish there was something that could help with that.

I had a dream that Shirley Temple died the day before she died. I woke up and was like "huh, I wonder if she's still around..." checked wiki and had no death date listed. Then she died!

((Artemis))

I don't think you're whining. I just think when we are anxious it is hard to see alternative options to our worst-case scenarios. Or at least, it is for me. I did not intend to come off as brusque or dismissive of you.

Oh no you weren't at all! I just start to feel guilty for whining overall.

I'm soooooo glad T is safe n sound back home

The little one is barking at me for dinner. She knows they have 40 minutes left until then

Here's a therapeutic riddle for you all. Info was hunting through her drawers looking for post it notes today (there are a lot of drawers). One drawer she opened had three - three! - boxes of latex gloves in it. I have never seen so many outside a doctor's office.

Now she's not an ME or a gyno, so...what gives?

Germophobe?

......side hustle as a medical examiner?

Eta just figured out what ME likely stands for

OCD? Maybe assistance dogs leave their mark? Maybe there is a cleaning roster?

Maybe every Thanksgiving she blows them up into big hand turkeys

This year she went overboard with the supplies

Or it's possible that she uses them as props for cow-milking demonstrations

She could be part of some subculture that's into dressing up as roosters

I've got plenty of perfectly reasonable explanations on hand so just tell me if you want me to stop

(Maybe this should be under a trigger but) I automatically assume latex = kink.

When you started by saying it's a riddle and mentioned multiple drawers, I was super excited thinking that this will be a therapist version of the Monty Hall three door problem and was just about to bow down (yet again) to your astute choice in therapists

Maybe she has a therapy moose and when he comes in to session she uses them as antler guards

Or she wears them to avoid cross-contamination when preparing the dry rub for her grilldren

Well this is a weird time to walk into this conversation.

She probably wears them when she's finger painting guys.

Speaking of the grilldren would an appropriate side dish be filet o gummy bears?

Artie pictures nude models lining up to have clothes painted on them

Cute ones of course.

I was thinking more fava beans and a nice chianti

That's exactly what I pictured

The birdies are mad at me cuz I haven't fed them yet this evening I'm about to have a mutiny on my hands

Wing mutiny

And I think we have a winner...(sorry Anais, but I stand in awe of your incredibly fertile imagination).

AY, I am sure Info will do something strange soon enough. After, I didn't see what was in the other drawers.

We'll see about that atat, we'll see.
