Couch 171: Scams R Us

Wikipedia also tells me that while Bolivia has lots of official languages, Bolivian isn’t one of them

ETA: I am so grateful to the Church of Unaluna for keeping us abreast of the rather wicked happenings when it comes to breastfeeding.

(((Lemon)))
Good luck on your exam.

The booby pulpit?

LOL - yabbut bolivian is funny! I wasnt even trying!

'Article 171 of the Penal code of Brazil, defines the crime of estelionato (defrauding the unwary, i.e. a "scam" or "confidence trick"). Because of it, in Brazilian Portuguese, um-sete-um (literally, one-seven-one) became a synonym for "scam", and also "swindler" or "compulsive liar".'

I'm getting the urge to contact T1 and unleash all my anger on him. The anger is still there. I'm not sure why I can't just let it go.

The cup of joy runneth over indeed.

In that case can Info be a priestess in the Church of Unaluna?

Thank you for the hugs. It really does mean a lot just to know you guys are here too.

I caved and emailed R- just telling him that I loved him and thanking him for being my T.

Type it all up in a Word doc or something (instead of e-mail, so it's not easy to send). Or write it on paper. Get it all out. Then maybe take it to session.

I might be off the mark, but perhaps anger at your brother is triggering these feelings? As all of this has been unexpressed too. Did you have a termination session to go over things with ex-T?

Oh that's a point. Perhaps. Though this tends to come in phases anyway. I was just googling T1. I get a bit fixated on the idea he might be practising again.
I did have a termination session with him but it was before all the anger came, and it was before he sent me unsolicited unethical messages (which I never responded to, but unsettled me a lot).

My phone is broken and I feel like I'm gonna lose it. Must find old phone...

Something to make everyone smile, but RR I can picture your cat doing something like this:

I hope you find the old phone.

If he's not practicing anymore, I would suggest writing a letter to him that you don't necessarily have to send, but also a "reply" back from him addressing the points you've highlighted.

And you wonder why I find you completely incomprehensible 99% of the time (with the other 1% merely opaque)

I wonder if it would have killed the woman had I ever done that. It would have been such a shock - she simply would have dropped over.
Or (as would have been more an accurate, she would have decided I had some sort of brain tumor or stroke)
Probably I would have refrained because of the off chance (although with her high opinion of how lovable she was perhaps not so off) she thought her special brand of obfuscation, lying, and habit of stating the obvious and irrelevant - had won me over and that I was being serious.

That's something to think about. What could he possibly say? Hmm. I guess I need to reflect on that because I just want him to know what an idiot he is. A response from him would probably make things worse.

And actually I think some of this is due to the fact this is my T's one weak area in my therapy. He always struggles with working with my feelings about T1.

You dont fool me - youre madly in lurve with me.

My T's cat died. I got her a card. I hope that's ok. She got me one when my dog died, so I think it is.

Oh SD I really do love you too!

Una — I should say your extreme romantic popularity even in the absence of any and all use of apostrophes, gives me great hope.

I feel like I should set up profiles on Okcupid etc and send messages sans all apostrophes (vs those with proper grammar) and test the theory that perhaps you’re on to an emerging wave of grammar non-use being the new aphrodisiac or something?

If i could figure out how to put an apostrophe onto my keyboard like the comma or period, i would do it so fast!

I have been obsessed with the thought of trying weetabix for several days now. I blame your profile picture, una. It's like subliminal advertising or something.

Jesus, why are they so big??? Also, what is the best flavor?
