Couch 200: The Bicentennial Couch.

Lemoncake · Jul 07, 2019 at 10:12 AM

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!

Name from @@ & CE.

Back from my walk. 1.09 miles woohoo! Every day I'm adding back in a little more distance. Getting my mojo back.

That's awesome! I really need to walk more. I usually get less than 3000 steps a day.

She’s great and still with me - I’ve had 2 dogs die over the last 2 years and inherited 2 more .. so I’m at 3 for the record 😂

Granite drops a post every once in awhile but I haven’t seen her in a few months now. Wiki- I haven’t seen in awhile.

Granite was in FB for awhile .. but haven’t seen her in some time ... Wiki was sick again the last time she posted and then never heard from her again. I wish I knew what happened to her

Thanks for your legacy, Lola. It's awesome 200k+ posts in 7 years.

LonesomeTonight · Jul 07, 2019 at 03:15 PM

Yes, thanks for creating this! It's been a great place for support (and laughs) for me, too.

LonesomeTonight · Jul 07, 2019 at 03:17 PM

Did another painting event this afternoon to get my mind off of T stuff and other stress.

LonesomeTonight · Jul 07, 2019 at 03:19 PM

Hm, can't get it to post not sideways, even when pic is oriented differently. The colorful part is the top, supposed to be sort of an Impressionist sunset over the ocean.

To me it shows upright. I thought it was a volcano, but I might have affected by reading that it was done to destress.
