Observatorium

1. Laundromats are dirty places. Which is funny, since you go there to clean your clothes. Which is made even more ironic by the fact that the one I went to last night is called "Squeaky Clean Coin Laundry." It was not squeaky clean.
2. Particle board, if you over-pound it with a hammer, will return to its particular state. The particles will then stick to your butt if you happen to be putting your tv stand together in your underwear because you can't figure out how to turn off your 1970's heater.
3. The secret to selling things on craigslist it to make them very cheap. People don't want your couch for $150. But they do want it for $50. The price must be right. It's like a yard sale on-line.
4. I've gone to this therapist a couple of times now. She tells me things about herself and her prior and current relationships. Maybe it's because I've never been in therapy before, and I know that she's trying to build a rapport with me, but every time she tells me about her ex-husband, I can't help but feel like she's cutting in on my time. I have a lot to say. I'm a talker. I'm paying for this hour, let's not wasting it by talking about you, I want to say. Let's get back to me, I want to say. I can't decide if this says something bad about me as a person. Dr. Melfi never tells Tony Soprano about her ex-husband. So I'm torn.
5. I miss my dog when he goes to see his dad.

I'm totally with you on laundry. Before we bought the house, I used the one on Murphy Rd, across from McCabe's Pub. It's not too bad...

some therapists do use the 'i've been there too' technique...some people feel more comfortable if they have background info from there therapist....but it certainly doesn't make you a bad person if you don't like that. if you feel comfortable you should say something (because it is your hour and you're paying for it) or look for another therapist.
