My sister is a professional hypnotherapist! (True)

I call her my hypno- sis. (Also true)

Well played padawan.
They wouldn't let me train to be a hypnotherapist. I think they knew exactly how I would abuse my powers

Convertible of course...

I knew it
Well let’s plan a day trip

Been there, done that...I think. I've been a chicken, a cow & a carnival barker

I know. I can’t take it too seriously.

I know it helps some people and she helps people with depression, anxiety, smoking cessation, and stuff.

Fun fact: back in the 90s, I worked for a high-tech company. We all got laid off together and went to a comedy club a few days later, smoked a joint… it was a hypnotist comedian. My friends all urged me to do it so I said what the fuck.

I REMEMBERED EVERYTHING!!! And was conscious thru all of it. I danced on a table like a Chippendale dancer, gave birth to a rubber chicken, and there was this one part about how they conditioned us to say something really nasty about a really touching story. Whenever they mentioned the kids, we were told to save the most horrible things we could.

I remember everything and was very conscious the whole time, I just couldn’t help myself… it was horrible.

So guess what, no more Jedi mind tricks for me!!!

Good morning all. Still fighting this bug, but I’m back to work. Two days with a fever, a trip to the ER and all I got was some Tylenol and some nausea meds. I don’t seem to have all my energy back so I’ll be laying low for the weekend. Hope everyone has a great weekend, be safe out there.

Hypnosis - one of those "Use your power for good or evil" kind of deals
I'd love to experience it for clinical reasons - but the level of trust needed not to have any of the carnival experiences snuck in, too? Yeah - not happening

ERs in my area are all overloaded with what the news is calling the Quademic (4 viruses making the rounds).
Unless there's an antiviral for your bug and a supply in stock, anti-nausea and Tylenol is all there is. Fluids, bed rest, and sleep. Be kind to yourself. Don't push it! And if you need to, go home early. I'll write you a note.

My Tip: Bone broth contains protein. Broth is just a flavored delivery-system for salt.

Hope you feel better soon!!

My mom died from a stroke around 1963 and my dad died the next year of a broken heart and respiratory issues.
I was traumatized and spent time in a psychiatric hospital. They removed two years of my memory to keep me from terminating myself.

Thanks! It was a fruit smoothie with peanut butter for breakfast and some sliced fruit and smoked turkey is up for lunch. Luckily it’s a Friday and there aren’t many in the office so I can take it easy. I may stop by the store and get some bone broth because I know I don’t have anything to simmer for hours to make my own.

OMG. My fourth grade teacher had this same car, and the same off white color.

That brings back some memories! She used to drive it from her house every day to the Califon school, which was 1/8 of a mile away.

A- freaking- men
I just sent an email to my bff. Bemoning the fact that one of my coworkers deletes my messages without reading them. She doesn't know I have read receipt on everything that I send, and I'm not going to tell her. Another one patted me on the head (virtually) and treats me like I'm stupid when I ask where a document is stored. So now I respond with why I can't find it in the team's site that we are forced to use that sucks. My response today was, well, if it is labeled 2024 and it is for 2025 information, I am likely not to look there. And if you send something as a draft with that term used in the title, I'm likely not going to expect it to be the final iteration of a document. These mfers need to not try me because I will destroy them if they push me too far.

Your definition of f*** around and find out.

And we already discussed the eye poking and biting

I kinda miss whitewall tires on elegantly designed cars.

I know, I know, today’s cars are more secure and modern, but, I really enjoy the look of this car. It makes a statement and it stands out!

I don’t mean to be a pain, but, the send receipt is an option; as a recipient of many emails that have a read receipt, I often refuse to send out the read receipt (it’s an option in Outlook).

Not that I want to be a pain, let’s face it, I can be a sarcastic little fuck, I know that the sender will be submerged with email receipts and that he has no clue that he sent out an email copied the world and has both a send and read receipt flags turned on!

Rest and liquids are on your prime agenda.

I have the additional benefit of being one of very few people actually in the building. Blissfully quiet and calm for the end of the first week back post-holiday.

I am so sorry, @Missk_2022 Don't know how you deal with this all day long.
Also, the number of options when searching "level of stupid meme funny" is overwhelming. Afforded me the chance to play Eenie Meenie Miney Mo though... So there's that.

Nice!
And... welcome... haven't seen you here before...

Here's the standard welcome for all café newcomers:
Welcome to the café.

We conduct ourselves a bit differently here than most of the rest of Lit.

Post #1 introduces the joint... and glancing back over the last 10-20 pages provides additional context.

To be clear:
1. No religion 2. No politics 3. No drama 4. This isn't a hook up thread. Take it to the DMs or go somewhere else.

Everyone is welcome but we are protective of the vibe

This applies to all who visit this thread.
If this feels like a good match, welcome...

If not then please keep looking on Lit -
There's so many threads to choose from. You're sure to find a few to your liking.

Many thanks. I am brand new to this thread, relatively off-the-lurker-bench for the forum, and a long-time reader of the Lit stories.

I did read the first post, appreciate your guidance, and will do my best to observe and fit in (one of my superpowers).
