Couch 180:

Welcome to the couch, old and new! A place to hang out - sometimes you get immediate feedback, sometimes you don't.

Shouting, "Cool Whip" tends to bring others out from between the cushions if you're feeling lonely.

This is a chatty thread. All are welcome. We're kind of psychologically oriented, sometimes. We try to be supportive. At times we discuss what that means.

It’s a place to plop down on the couch when you come home from work or wherever, or wake up in the middle of the night, or check in at lunch, rant a bit or not, and be among friends.

We advise you not to drink or drug and text your therapist ("T") - we speak from experience.

Sometimes the thread moves fast and you might get overlooked; sometimes it moves slowly and all you hear are crickets. Sometimes you get hugged or thanked pages later. So if it's a bigger question, you might want to start a new thread.

Grab a cushion, a spot on the floor, or an armchair in the corner and make yourselves comfy!

I've never seen an unnamed couch before. There's a novelty!

to be named

Something to do with darts perhaps?

Hi Ya'll. Takes a spot on the new couch.

Please do the honours of coming up with something, I've only got harry potter references floating around in my head.

My creative block is stopping me from coming up with a name for the new couch. As soon as I saw that there was a 'blank space' where the name should have been, I immediately thought of the Taylor Swift song with the same title.

We could work with that!

Yep that's what I think when I hear "blank space". That's me explained in a song:

Magic, madness heaven sin.

Same, but I believe that, for me, the best line that describes me is 'Darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream'. LOL

I'm sorry so lost! I just saw your post now. You have the honor of picking the name.

"It's going to last forever or go down in flamessssssss. "

I found this on Youtube- it has a medical twist but it's the best parody I've seen.

The name is fine with just a number. There is no need for more.

Does it not break tradition though!?!?

That's a good thing every now and again eh?

I think we once had The Couch That Must Not Be Named.

Art, I smell laziness on your professor’s part—not grading homework except for credit for doing it and not going over it. Maybe she’s faking it.

There have been couches with only numbers. Out of all the things to stress about - this is not one of them.

I don't necessarily go over assignments - I am happy to talk to students about them, but I hand out sample answers and go on - I don't spend class time talking about them.

It's good you are willing to talk to students about the homework. In my second stats class, the prof would look quickly over the homework that was turned in and then would go over any problems that the majority of students missed. In one of my accounting classes we went over every single problem and it was so boring. I think there is a lot of latitude for what is helpful and some of that depends on where the class is at. In that particular accounting class it was week 8 and there were students who still didn't know how to use their accounting calculator even though the instructor told us which calculator to get (which came with a manual) and spent time in class instructing us on how to use it. We did the problems on the board in that accounting class too but the prof always got mad at me because I skipped steps. I got the right answer but I didn't draw it out each little step. He kept telling me not to skip steps because the class didn't get it, and I thought loudly but did not tell him, that's not my problem.

Pity party ahead please feel free to ignore.

I am feeling so down on myself right now. Like, I suck so bad. All the way around in every which way. All I can see and feel today are my faults. I want to curl up in a ball and just cry and roll off into a dark cave. I don't even want t.

Pity party over at least the public one.

Sorry I missed your message, Cake! I hereby christen The Practical Couch.

((((((hugs)))))) I hope you feel better soon.
