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.

Minuscule 197 is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment

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 usually have to look it up, but thanks to Wiki, it was right there.

I started to come down with something yesterday and I still have it today. My throat is super sore and and I have that crappy tingle through my nose and a headache. I really hope I can kick it before my interview on Tuesday morning. I don’t really know if I have to tell her I don’t feel well-if I’m still sick Tuesday. I know I had what the twins had all week, but the woman I’m going to see has a 5 month old in addition to her toddler. I’m more concerned about me bringing germs to the the 5 month old than the toddler though.

I think it would be best to cancel the interview, and rearrange or maybe ask if you can do it on the phone. Little babies don't have very good immune systems.

When I text her to confirm tomorrow I’ll probably tell her I’m fighting a bug and then leave the ball in her court on if she still wants to meet. We can arrange the meeting outside her home if she is concerned about germs. She is a doctor though in a major hospital so she may be fine with keeping the meeting in her home.

The live action Aladdin movie was about what I expected—the singing was just soooo bad! The pretty AiRBnB room makes up for it, though. Tonight we’re going to see the Avengers at a drive-in theater (not really my kind of movie but I’m charmed by drive-ins).

You need to see Disney on ice! I took my sister to the princess one with the
princess one called dreams come true I think.

Oooo that looks lovely, I'd love to stay somewhere like that.

The drive in seems pretty cool.Didn't know they still had them?

Feh. I have two boxes full of old electronics or software and I’m going through them, factory resetting and then tossing/recycling/donating as appropriate. I found my old voice recorder (which I thought 2ex had), hit play, and whose voice do I hear but his? I now remember I got the recorder eight years ago or so to record his increasingly crazy voicemails to me. I listened only to a few words, but it’s a bit discombulating. Especially since it seems unable to erase (enter button not responsive).

Would it help to smash the recording machine with a hammer?
It is probably what I would do.

I had to have my whole a/c system replaced this past week. Expensive, but I love my new thermostat that is connected to my phone.
