[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Barb, I forgot to offer brackets and backup smiting. Glad Plei was there to back you up.
WindSparrow, I know you said you had CBT skills, but do you know observe and describe? I can review it if not.
Man, I was up coughing a lot of the night. Stupid post-nasal drip. Slept past noon.
An amusing CBT thing I do is when I catch myself caught in a loop is mentally shout "STOP! HAMMER TIME!" and then I have a visual/earworm of MC Hammer doing the Hammer dance all over my neg thoughts.
I can't help it; it always makes me snicker, which is kind of the purpose. You can download it and cue the song for extra help.
Of course, the resulting earworm could send you into a desperate spiral of doom, but you have to take these chances in life, no?
Chicken Soup- yay, D is going to the store for me so I don't have to get out of bed.
Poor sick Laga!
Erin, I love your MC Hammer method. Love.
Woo I have Dayquil. Maybe I can get out of bed when this kicks in. I think it's Anne Lamott who says to imagine the negative thoughts as little squeaky mice, pick each one up by the tail and put it in a jar. Then put the lid on the jar. But I think both MC Hammer and Sweepy Man seem much more effective.
yeah, bottling it up leads to things escaping. In my mind at least. gottta make em GONE
Wow dayquil + chicken soup with cayenne pepper in are making me feel sooo much better. I can cough and my head doesn't hurt and all the congestion is coming out.
Barb, you may have all the hugs you want. Those people are so wrong about you, their wrong-headed wrongness blazes like torches made of flaming wrong, lining a cave of such deep idiocy, no light can escape it.
Stares in rapt admiration. Nods approvingly.
Goooood one, Andi. GOOD one!
I love erin's MC Hammer thought replacement too. That one actually rocks!
Whoa. I felt like I had enough energy to wash some dishes and I went in the kitchen and D is cleaning it from top to bottom. I tried to make some tea and he wouldn't even let me do that. Being sick ain't so bad.
