Couch 199: The Unennennium Couch

unaluna · 03:40 PM

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!

Possible trigger:

so I've gained 5 lbs over my lowest point since I lost weight last year.

Everything about me is just wrong.
wrong, wrong, wrong.
at least i'll be off work in a little more than 3 hours. maybe i'll go swim again.
ignore my little pitty party.

"Women are allowed to take up space" in the world. Your weight doesn't have to define you. Weight goes up and down for everyone. You're doing your best and that's all that matters right now.

It went over my head the first time you guys explained it.

But google says $25.87. 2486.8% inflation.

I used this:

Ah. That explains my heightened emotional state...

Huh. I took it literally and got you a 1913 nickel.

Just looked ahead to next week's assignment. We are writing a poem alternating between mundane and extraordinary experiences. I can probably manage to not be overly emotional with that.

Maybe.

Oh i would not. Mundane has a tendency to become extraordinary under such circumstances.

I should probably confine myself to the hoarding forum. As i make progress on the place, i think im flipping out!!!!!!!!!!!

Geese, I go check another thread and come back to miss the switching out of couches (T has been warned that he best not switch out my green couch without prior notice and approval)... and I missed out on halve of the punnies! Geez... guess I better go get some caffeine and catch up!

I don't know why the heck these poetry prompts are doing such a number on me. I don't want to begrudge L time off, sheesh. She deserves it. But I am so hugely emotional and every stupid little thing is making me cry. Everything. Oops, dropped a glass on the floor and it broke? Cry. Son upset that gf got upset? Sob incoherently. Emotional poetry prompts? Yeah, Artie, great idea to go over the top and rip your heart out while writing your poems yeah that really ****ing helps everything.

Does anyone have a cave I can hole up in for awhile?

My door is always open if your in Seattle :

1901
Elliot Bay towers

One thing adds to another and it can feel like a tidal wave.But It's okay to cry and to feel the way you do right now. You'll get through this.

Is it the 1913-S mint? That’s like $500.
