My T left for vacation today. 12 days until my next appointment. Please tell me my room is ready (and that I'll have lots of company).

Can't my grown up brother do anything without
consulting his Therapy Mommy for permission?

Good grief -- do people every grow up? He's
52 and has all the priviliges in the world.
The rest of the world is struggling with disease,
poverty, malnutrition, violence, lack of medical care and equipment, slavery and abuse.
The New Age therapist takes enough cash to support the medical expenses of a kid with malaria in Uganda for a year, in just 2 hours of soap opera chatting. And if the patient is
flattered enough, will keep taking even when the
problems have disappeared.

There is much inequity in the world.

SH*T.
I'll mebbe crash on the beach under a shrubby bush.
With my dog, who will magically become a perfectly trained wonder while at CC!!!
I'll bring a few POUNDS of prime BC bud.
Ya, we can chill.

> Good grief -- do people every grow up?

While I understand that you are speaking of your brother, many people on this board go to therapy regularly and miss their therapists when they are gone. Please do not post anything that could lead others to feel accused or put down.

If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternative ways of expressing yourself, please see the FAQ:

http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil

Follow-ups regarding these issues should be redirected to Psycho-Babble Administration. They, as well as replies to the above posts, should of course themselves be civil.

Dr. Bob is always free to override deputy decisions. His email is on the bottom of each page. Please feel free to email him if you believe this decision was made in error.

I expected this. OK - I miss X, where X
can be anything left to your imagination.

I will not say what it is for me as it may actually
offend some people in psychiatric hospitals.

**Sorry you been burned somehow squiggles :-(
Not all problems are visible...

*And we all make our own choices...*

and I agree AND disagree w/you.

I felt a little disturbed when I read this post, specially on this particular board, on this particular thread. But I understand that it comes most likely from some pain within yourself, and I'm sorry for that.
Pain is pain is pain is pain is pain.
Just IS.
Maybe if you want to discuss the merits of T squiggles, you can do so by starting a diff thread? As this is meant to be a camp comfort thread. A comforting place to be. A place of peacefulness away from the conflict of our lives... You are welcome to come join us, but please keep it pleasant here.
Thanks.
Take care,
Muffled

Yes, yes!! A well staffed beach house sounds like just the ticket. I'll need to be sure there are colorful umbrellas, though, b/c I'm fair skinned and need plenty of shade. I also think a nice looking pool boy would make the experience more enjoyable. Don't you think?

I'm shocked your T is going to be away so long. It shouldn't be allowed!! I may still hang out with you the whole time, though. I can leave for T appointments and then come back to my lounge chair, which I'm sure you'll have saved for me!

Guests? I'm starting to wonder if I might know these guests. Do I?

Or maybe I'm just completely confused. It's entirely possible.

Muffly, you can come to CC even if you're seeing your T. We have lots of shrubbies, but you can bring your cave if you want to.

I hope your doggie won't be too perfectly trained. I think I like them best when they still have some personality and spunk and can get just a little rowdy.

And thanks for deflecting the other vibes. I needed that.....more than you know.

Hi Jammer,
I wish I could turn my place into camp comfort. instead I will join you in spirit. Can we have a 24 hour oyster bar? I really do like oysters. and king crabs. And watercress soup.

Watermelon smoothies?

massage therapy?

lavender in my pillow?

1000 thread count sheet and a fresh linen nightgown

quiet nights to chat with friends on the beach, bringing down a cozy beach blanky for the cool breeze

no boxes

and a chocolate fountain with bananas and strawberries.

and an opportunity to get a real suntan with no UV damage, no chance of burning

and the smell of salt in the air...

sigh

palm trees?

I'm coming to Camp Comfort, too, if that's okay.

Thanks for starting it. Obviously, many of us desperately need it right now.

Who wants to start the camp fire songs?

You don't need to stay the whole time with me. I just got home from my last visit with my T before she leaves town and then the country! I'm sad and mad at her for doing this right now. I've been crying for the last 2 hours off and on. I think I will check into camp comfort tonight and get out place organized with everything fun and relaxing. I'm all for the pool boy and shade!
I think we will need to have camp comfort open till the end of August? Even though my T will be back by the end of July. I need a long vacation myself and this sounds wonderful.................
Thanks for the thread, it is just what I need tonight. I've had an emotional past few weeks and now I don't have my T to bug.
Hugs
LadyBug

Not only is your room ready, but I'm already there. I like to pretend I'm a celebrity, so I checked in a few days early and kept it hush-hush. :) What does your room look like? Mine has a big sleigh bed in cherry wood with a huge fluffy white down comforter (I need it because of the air conditioning) and fluffy down pillows. I have cozy PJs in my drawers and pretty sundresses for when I'm outside. Also some jeans and T-shirts for when I feel like not getting dressed.

Everyone gets a private bathroom (in case they want different), and mine has a jacuzzi tub and personal maid service that scrubs the whole bathroom every day. There are big fluffy towels and everything is marble and gold plating.

Outside my room is a little patio with my own private garden to sit in. People can visit, but it's mine. There's a pond down in front of the garden with a dock so I can watch the lake and a little beach for swimming. There are lilacs and tigerlilies in the garden, and they're always in bloom.

I have a personal chef who cooks in my kitchen. There's a giant fireplace with lots of cozy chairs so my Babble friends can come curl up by the fire with milk and cookies.

It's so nice...

We can have anything you want, Llurpsie. Even the oyster bar. I won't be partaking, though. Well, maybe if I have enough tequila. Then again, I'm not sure if there IS enough tequila for that.

I like the idea of being able to tan without risking UV damage. Can we eliminate freckling, too? I already have so many. Oh, how I'd love to have a tan.

I think Camp Comfort needs to have at least 2 distinct landscapes. A palm filled beach on one side and mountains on the other. Cold, crisp mountain air would be a nice option, IMO.

Have you checked in yet, muffly? Sorry I haven't been around and don't know. I've had a hard time coming back to this thread for some reason. It helps, but it hurts, too.

I'm just over 1/3 of the way through my T's vacation, so I guess that's good?

Why do all the T's seem to be taking of for the week of the 4th? Are they have a T convention or something??

What does your room look like? I've been trying to imagine mine, but I have little to no imagination, which poses a problem.

I'm afraid I'm not well versed in typical camp fire songs, so I might not be the best person to start. Though, I think Margaritaville might be appropriate for the beach theme that seems to have developed.

How are you doing today? Is it going better or worse than you expected?

Have you caught a glimpse of the pool boy yet? Let me just tell you......HOT!! And he seems pretty open to helping with sunscreen. ;-)

Dang, sunnydays, it sounds like you got the best room in the resort!! Could you concoct one for me? My imagination seems to be broken. I'll wait in front of the fireplace, with the milk and cookies (somehow it's not so hard for me to imagine sweets), while you work on it.

How are you doing with the break?
