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. 221 - if you get a call from this area code, its definitely spam! |

Hey new couch! It's going to get cold tonight, I'm much more excited about it than the people I live with. If we could harness the power of my hot flashes, I'd never have to turn on the heat! Hope everyone is well, stay safe.

I think I would trust this instructor a lot more if she could pronounce "rubric" correctly. She has said it like 4 times this evening and mispronounced it each time. Research your pronunciation, woman. haha

How does she say it?
I am considering picking a bone with the NYT Sunday crossword people. They put in a clue that should have distinguished between Zeno of Elea and Zeno of Citium, but failed. First world ivory tower problems. |

So I flopped my exam.
The examiners were super nice, but I didn't know my topic and couldn't work out the answer from the clues. Not crying which is surprising. I have two days off this week before we start our second subject. -- I've been watching youtube videos on investing and I've gained an extra £72.48 which I can withdraw now if I want to. __________________ Last edited by Lemoncake; Nov 11, 2020 at 07:23 AM.. |

There's nothing I actually need at the moment. I do want the 2020 Harry potter Lego Advent calendar, but even then I don't think I will buy it for myself. If you generally wait until after Christmas it was down to £6 last year.

By the way, that "platitude" was a hard won life lesson. I worked it out for myself. I'm sorry you didn't find it useful.

Oh, that’s that thing—rhoticity?—where some speakers drop an r if there’s another r in the word, especially if the dropped r isn’t in a stressed syllable.
I searched my old emails to find my family’s email thread on election 2016. I’d forgotten—it happened just a few days after Smaug dumped me for no good reason. I was not a happy person that November. |

Ah... it's kinda funny that earlier in the semester she was pronouncing the 2nd R. Suddenly tonight she's not. I wonder if that rhoticity thing happens when a person is tired, she sounded really tired tonight. Even let us out early. |
