Couch 196: Cinnamon Swirls

You have a pool- hey big spender spend a little time with me?!

Unnnnnnnnna I'm from the school of thought that says stuff gets done when it gets done, not a minute sooner or later. You got it done that's what matters.

He screwed up books 4 and 5.

LoTR is FAR better writing than GoT.

My husband has been watching it as says it is quite interesting.

I havent read any of the GOT books and like Lemoncake, I gave up on the first LOTR book.

Thank you sweetie but i am running out of minutes!!

Had my followup appt with surgeon this morning. I'm healing fine from the surgery, all looks well there. She answered my questions. Also told me as far as the pathology goes there was more that she didn't tell me on the phone. i have to go back in a year for another CT scan and possible exploratory surgery.

HUGS @ArtieSwimsOn

Live like you are going to die -because you are (the universal you - not just exhankster).

Avoid sarcasm, yes, but I don't see humour as a problem. Better than surly cynicism, anyway!

I agree.

If one is married, it's always our money. A spouse who doesn't respect that is a thief.

Stephen Donaldson wrote the Thomas Covenant chronicles about a leper whose wife left him and had to lose half his hand is transported to a land where he matches the description of a hero who will end the great wars but he doesn't want to be the hero. He keeps being summoned back against his will

The last time I was involuntarily hospitalised I picked the wrong mental health nurse to joke around with she had no sense of humour in the 8 weeks she was responsible for me when discharged

I dont disagree. But he ACTS like she can like it or lump it, and technically - legally - hes right, isnt he? I dont know what scarlets power is here. All those ER visits? No influence there. Its his inheritance, the state says its his money. The state of the marriage, the partnership, the joint decision-making? Thats an entirely different animal. It doesnt help to mix up the two, IMO. But i will stay out of the discussion from here. This sort of thing terrifies me!

“Hi, thank you for calling. You're through to S and I’m a customer service representative from Monsters Inc. How are you this evening?

I'm sorry to hear about the issue you've had with us today. We would like to offer you a special offer to apologize for your experience. You can take advantage of our 500 extra free minutes a day at no extra cost for the next 365 days. But not only that we will also offer you a cat mug too.

I feel I should clarify I was hospitalised for joking with the nurse

It's 90-something here. You can have some of our extra "degrees." We have plenty to spare.

The cleaning folks are here working. I can't wait to have sparkly clean bathrooms again! Probably the one and only time I will allow myself this luxury!

Well I did not call L today. I guess I really don't want to after all or I would have. I was probably just trying to use the dream as an excuse to see her and subconsciously I knew that all along.

I don’t think Scarlet has any LEGAL right to her husbands inheritance. Honestly, he probably already knows that which is why he pulls that crap. In a community property state (such as CA) in the event of a divorce all marital assets will be divided 50/50 but I don’t think his inheritance is included in it. Where is our couch lawyers?

What bugs the crap out of me is that I know plenty of people who work their butts off countless hours a day and struggle to put food on the table for their kids and there are people who can’t hold a job that go and blow money on crazy a s s **** especially after they had to sell their house because they were running out of money.

But this is none of my business and I’m getting angry so I’ll just apologize and not say another word about it.

Oops! My mistake! I thought you were talking about a job interview.

T totally wore me out even though there was nothing intense about the session. So just need to put it out there that Awesome T is Awesome... oh and he wanted me to thank the Couchies for all the emails you guys spare him from having to read.

As one of the struggling, I find it hard to give advice in this situation. But, coming from 3 abusive relationships, I find many similarities. I can't do anything other than send well wishes to you, Scarlett.

Yeah if L only knew how many y'all saved her from reading over the years...

I'm working on another star afghan now, actually finishing one I had started awhile back and wasn't sure I liked. Decided to finish it anyway. Pic to come once I finish the row I'm on now.

I am feeling better with my increased seroquel. Had a bit of a T related meltdown at the shops and huge one when I got home. They are happening less often but I am still not recognising the fact that I can probably never see him again.
