"What do therapists talk about with each other?"
OMG!!!! I'm going to ask my therapist that the next session...Forget working on my other problems, I WANT TO KNOW!!! I'd call him and ask him now, except I don't have his home number. Well, actually I do, but he doesn't know I do. Does that make me bad? It's under his wife's maiden name in the telephone book....Oopsie daisy! I'm entirely too darn nosey!
I always wonder in my therapist sits around the house in his underpants. Does anyone else wonder that, or am I the only one? I feel weird for asking...Tell me I'm not the only one, PLEASE!!

> "What do therapists talk about with each other?"
Well, I haven't wondered if he lounges around the house in his underpants, until now, but I'm putting that throught out of my head. I do wonder what he does in his spare time, does he have hobbies? I imagine him sitting in front of a fireplace, sitting in a sophisticated chair reading the latest issue of The American Journal of Psychiatry. He can't be a golfer because I don't like golf. He might play tennis (cause I like tennis). Other than that, I'm guessing he plays non-stop with palm piolets and such. :) Also, I want him to like to garden! Cause I love gardening! Come on, me and him have to have something in common, aside from the fact that I'm crazy and he agrees.
>It's under his wife's maiden name in the telephone book....Oopsie daisy!
Dare I even ask how you found out what his wife's maiden name is??? :)

You dare ask! Well Elle, it was under the picture I found of her on the net. And that's it! I'm coming clean next week! I decided in the shower (of all places??). I going in, sitting down, asking him to switch chairs with me so I don't have to face him. I'm also going to ask him to hold all questions until the end. And also, I'm going to ask him to please not sigh or breath loud as I may take that as a sign of digsust or concempt. BTW, his wife goes by her maiden name. Interesting thing is that I told him long ago that when I get married, I'd keep my name. Maybe add to it, but most certainly keep it.
There is one thing that I failed to mention (OH, the shame...) OMG, Elle this is horrible....I tried to email the pic to my sister to reassure me that I was better looking than his wife and I crashed the site.... Now, the site is not maintained by her, so I'm pretty sure he doesn't know. And it it were traced back, it would go to my boyfriend. So, I'm fairly certain, he wouldn't catch me. Now, this part I'm not giving out to ANYONE except my fellow Babblers. SHHH!! Please don't tell. Oh, the site was up and running the next day...I'm humiliated....See, I can be fairly dumb when I want to be and I have a knack for getting myself into situations....

Now Miss Honey, do we REALLY want to draw attention to ourselves? Why don't you take a look back at our posts....I'd say not!!! And besides, by breaking the tie, he'd be incriminating himself. Is he a breast man, does he lean more towards personality, does he like the 80's? Hmmmm.... maybe we should keep him out of this mess. Could someone else lend us their prized therapist?
BTW, I still know he likes me BEST! So eat that!

OK, now this calls for some immediate intervention/action as I am FEELING very accused and put down at this very moment! Now Elle, why do you say such things when you know for a fact that everyone likes me better than you? You know this is true. Why, I was talking to your mum just the other day and she told me how she wished I was her daughter. I'm sorry I had to be the one to tell you that, but someone has to. :) And even Miss Honey was saying she was thinking of dropping you from the pageant all together because she can't stand 80's music. Just ask All Done, she told her too! Now, All Done isn't always as honest as I am, but I think she'll tell you the truth on this one. I'm everyone's favorite! Just ask. And I'm not delusional! My Pdoc said so once, before he put me back on blasted antipsychotics. So there you have it. Who's delusional hun?

>Now Elle, why do you say such things when you know for a fact that everyone likes me better than you?
It's easy, they are only trying to make you feel like you are liked...but they really like me the best.
>Why, I was talking to your mum just the other day and she told me how she wished I was her daughter.
Yes, she mentioned your call. Said she could barely understand you, something about wishing you were more like me...
>And I'm not delusional! My Pdoc said so once, before he put me back on blasted antipsychotics. So there you have it. Who's delusional hun?
I'm not sure just who's delusional, maybe it's time you get a check-up.
:) Hehe!

Upon serious reflection, I've come to the conclusion that I would not like Dr Bob to be a judge. It's so funny but I wanted to find out when I first started posting. So, I went back and saw the very first post I made got me A PBC! (I wasn't so nice back then) Can you believe it? Me?? I can include a link if you like... >) I guess I just needed someone to get me piping mad before I actually registered and began posting. I'm surprised it wasn't you! So, now we need to find a new judge, with a B name. Preferably one who likes spunky women...Any takers reading this far?

I'm quite certain he would be impartial. Try to look independent and confident. He doesn't like dependent women.

I am away for one day (in part trying to have a successful therapy appointment) and you ladies lose any grip on even the smallest tidbits of reality that you *may* have had in the past! Not to mention calling Dr. Bob's attention to this thread! We just may, with the mud slinging insults we have thrown around, be asking for it. But I have wondered if Dr. Bob reads everything and, if so, do we amuse him? I'm hoping we have at least given him a few chuckles...
Now, I need you all to understand that Beefcake would *never* vote for anyone but me. I mean, just yesterday, he practically told me he is in love with me! (Well, he said I didn't bore him, does that count?) And, as I live in close proximity to Dr. Bob, I fully intend to pay him a visit prior to the competition. Once he meets me, he too will fall in love. There, his vote will be secured. Finally, I will win over Bubba's heart when he realizes I have just as much charm as Elle, breasts just as voluptuous as Miss Honey's, and I am no where near as clumsy as Karen. Three votes secured for All Done. Case closed.
I have often wondered what Beefcake's life is like at home. I just have to assume that he spends most of him free time (in between the visits to the 80s dance clubs) thinking of yours truly. And yes, he does this while in his underwear ; ). I think at my next session I will ask him the million dollar question - boxers or briefs?

I think we need to add a contest to this already somewhat unconventional pageant. Perhaps, we can have a cooking competition. I know I can bake Karen and her therapist cookies under the table!
That way, too, when we're done, we'll have stuff to eat at the sleepover :).

Well I NEVER.....
First of all, I merely stated that Dr Bob would make a good judge. Miss Honey is the one that began drawing attention to the post, by asking him to be a judge. I sometimes wonder if we are giving him chuckles or hives? Does he realize that we really dislike each other or does he think we are joking? Hmmmm. I wonder? (And of course All Done, you are my favorite :)
I vote that we disqualify Miss Honey from this pageant completely. She obviously lacks the skills needed to compete. Those skills being humor, charm, manipulativeness, and charisma. The only obvious asset she talks about is her rack, and those who brag usually lack. Wouldn't you agree Elle? Not to mention the fact that Miss Honey never portays herself in a realistic manner. Why doesn't she ever trip and fall? Why doesn't she ever throw up on stage?
Lucy, you have some 'xplainin to do.....
As for your therapist "being in love with you," hun, are you on any medications? I mean, it's pretty safe to assume that my therapist fantasizes about me. So, one could say that he's also in love with me, that's not a far leap to take. But, just because you don't bore him doesn't mean he's in love with you. Beafcake has some serious issues of his own to deal with. I know that he wears pennyloafers and bluejeans with a bowtie. Now girl, that spells trouble. When I get up on stage, I assure you Beafcake will be putty in my hands. I will ruin your images of disillusionment. He's going to be so busy drooling over me, he couldn't tell you the time of day, or the name of your song, even if it is "Jennifer 8675309eiiiiinn"..Help, I'm running out of 80's songs here..... And the only reason he told you that you weren't boring is probably because you are! (Well, I guess even I can't say that without laughing. I'm quite certain you aren't boring in the least. It's great when they say that, isn't it :) That's my good deed for the day so smile knowing I'm not all bad...
As for Beefcake spending most of his time thinking about you...Well, YEAH! But, I'd spend most of my time thinking of my most unruly client as well. The one that I can't figure out. The client that I can't seem to understand. The one client that can't tie her own shoes. The client who doesn't brush her hair (wait, that's me :). The client who doesn't socialize well. The client who thinks "bad" thoughts about me. The client who fantasizes about odd beauty pageants and sitting on my lap. The client who thinks that I sit around in my underwear. The client who thinks she can seduce me....Uh oh girls, we're in trouble now!!!!

Again I feel like "Mom's reading my journal!" Why do you have this effect on me Dinah? It's rather humorous. Maybe you should marry my therapist and we could be one big happy family with lots and lots of puppies? He's very cute! (But I must warn you, he does have something that your therapist does not. I think you know what I mean here.... :)
Thanks for offerring up your therapist. Does his name begin with a B? If not, we must arrange it to fit our needs. Now, I know that he dresses very well, so I should be able to win him over in that department. Beating Elle should be NO contest, or the others for that matter.
Now, we must work on a better agenda. Future installments to come. This is making my brain hurt. All of these less than perfect agendas are cramping my creativity and hindering my style. While I appreciate the thoughts, they just can't compete with the supreme talents that I have to offer. Maybe Elle should have spiders crawl out of her hair? Now, would that be too nasty? That's debatable....But, it would also cause me to have a panic attack in the process. We could always have Dinah be a judge. A female judge would be nice, as sex appeal wouldn't play a deciding factor. But then it wouldn't be nearly as fun either :(

I just cut and pasted, so I'm not sure if I did it right. And don't tell me to check FAQ. I'm lazy! If it doesn't work, then cut and paste it into your address box. I know you're lazy too! It was on September 25 Psychobabble Psychology under some post about therapists referring out their clients due to sexual inappropriateness (go figure!) and transference. I forgot the fact that I asked my therapist if I could sit on his lap when he talked about reparenting! Oh, I'm too much sometimes!
And I did register first, I just didn't post. I just needed something to give me that extra "push"!!! I suppose that did it. And Dr Bob gently slapped my hand. I must admit, I deserved it.
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/psycho/20030925/msgs/267491.htmlBy spunky, I meant just that. Though I am both spunky and classy. Thanks for noting both. I appreciate it :)

I like the idea of Dinah's Therapist being the tie breaker judge. Dinah, what is his name? Bowie? Brock? Bambi? SOmething good, I'm sure.
As for me, I hate to tell everyone, I have no foibles whatsoever. As IF I would ever trip on the catwalk! Please! I am the epitome of grace, talent, poise, and smarts, all rolled up into the perfect package.
So once and for all, I have it all wrapped up. Bean of course would pick me, that is not debatable. Beefcake seems like sort of a superficial guy and I'm sure he would pick me for obvious reasons. Burt is the wildcard. However, one glance at my lustrous hair, perky bosoms, and sparkling conversation skills, and he would choose me. Bubba would also choose me since I have a bone or two to pick with him and I hear he likes feisty women.
So I guess no tie breaker judge is really needed, but we still need an MC. Dr. Bob never responded to wanting to be in the actual pageant, so DInah's T is a viable option.
Dinah, does your therapist like women with low self esteem, anxiety problems, extreme sarcasm, and need for attention? If so, I've go this thing wrapped up!

In reply to New tie breaker judge, posted by Miss Honeychurch on January 18, 2004, at 17:21:35
You have a bone to pick with Bubba? Now I realize that he's FAR better looking and more highly skilled than Bean could ever aspire to become, but what's your dill pickle? What bone could you possibly have to pick with my darling therapist? I reallly couldn't imagine..... Maybe the fact that he's young. Or handsome. Or HONEST! (BLING BLING BLING!!!!) Just because I plan on taking home the gold doesn't mean you should assault my therapist. Now, let's not throw stones in a glass house.... I'm certain your therapist is far from perfect. Need I remind you of the fact that he tucks his sweater in and wears top sliders? Well, I won't remind you this time, but next time I just may be tempted to... :)
Now, I was pretending that I had faults so as to not make Elle feel bad, but from here on out I'm dropping the act. I too am perfect. But, unlike you, I don't suffer from anxiety or self esteem issues. In fact, I'm only in therapy because I have nothing better to do with my time or money. So, ha! I am completely perfect! And if you don't believe me, I'll give you Bubba's number, office or home (just DON'T tell him where you got his home number!!!) and ask him! He'll tell you the truth EVERY TIME! I promise!

Hmmm... I suspect he prefers independent women with pretty good self esteem who look good with his shiny shoes and car. But that might be jumping to conclusions. If you have lint or poor personal hygiene, you probably don't want him as a judge. Of course I'm sure none of you do, so you'll be fine.
You could call him Big I guess. He looks the teensiest bit like Mr. Big on Sex and the City (but without the sexiness of course).
