Ooh! That's an image that will stay with me

I'm saying nothing!

Just had a nice massage... K's sister's in town this week because she had a massage therapy seminar this weekend. The seminar's out near O'Hare, and it's a 30 minute drive to our place as opposed to 1 1/2 hours to the in-laws' place in Tinley Park, so she crashed here last night. She tried out some of her new moves on me this morning, including some involving tendons in the rib cage. I haven't been able to breathe this deeply in weeks.

We went to the Borders bookstore yesterday- one of my coworkers gave me a 20% off DVD coupon, so I grabbed a copy of "Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter", which I've been wanting for several months. I also found a really great bargain cookbook with Middle Eastern and African cuisine. I'm hoping to discover more tagine ideas and some cool things to do with tropical fruit.

Oooh i do SO love these smutty threads!!!

Ed, just sent you an email, hope i have the right address; no, i positively refuse to pose for a photo standing naked in the litter tray eating currants.

PC, if those jeans fit you like a glove, but maybe you need more room to wriggle after; might i suggest jeans that fit like mittens instead?

Don't say "slacks"please; it's yuk. I think of crimplene & that's not good. Thank you. The opposite of that is "tights" which makes me think of nylon & also has a bad effect. I am a bit funny like that.

Talking of "funny" just squoke to Hootoo's favourite locked up loopy frog. He is bored to distraction & pathetically grateful for phone calls, te he; me be getting appreciated at last! He wants out & i agree with him.

"they are all loopy in here, even the & "

"that's to be expected dear, it's a psychiatric clinic"

"But i'm NOT crazy!"
pause
pause
pause
"Am I?"

"Er....maybe you should ask the shrink?"

"I'm not!!! I'm just sorta different! YOU understand me!"

"Yes, but i am crazy, i wouldn't believe anything i say if i were you"

at both ends

"Stop, they think i am giggling hysterically, they will say i am crazy"

"So have they done anything more useful than chuck you in the jacuzzi yet?"

"Nope, they claim they are observing me for the first week. And then they wonder why i look paranoid?"

"Try walking round following the taking notes, they really get very upset about this & resort to hostile behaviour"

(all this of course done in our own franglais, poor bugger is no doubt going to be accused of squeaking in tongues!)

But seriously, he isn't crazy; he is mildly depressed & a spoilt brat & mummy's boy at times & definitely rather odd as far as social stuff is concerned & has great difficulty leaving past stuff behind & moving on. Possibly he has Aspergers if he needs a label; oh Ok then viking, we will chuck in Obsessive Compulsive if it makes you feel happier, bloody odd though how it doesn't apply at my place!*sweeps up the crumbs*

I think the main therapeutic benefits he is getting from this are a greater appreciation of the joys of NOT being in there & a realisation that other people may have much worse problems than him & maybe he himself can offer support.

Oh, and possibly that Terri is actually quite a good mate.
