I just read a knitting blog about knitting techniques, yarns, patterns. It's called Knitting Kitty.

called Fashion Kitty.

It's the 00's version of "gal" for you old fogies out there.

It does not mean vayaya so drop it already. Maybe it did back in the day, but now in the 00s for twenty-somethings it means GAL.

blitz-kitty's Blog. SAHM Bookseller and Entrepreneur ...

I pulled the many references to kitty as gal off the web.

I saw blogs for Fashion Kitty, Knitting Kitty, Gritty Kitty (who likes to Hike), etc. etc. etc.

Search for yourself.

I saw a blog for a great writer who calls herself styrofoam Kitty.

it's all there on the net for anyone to read.

Kitty does mean Gal.

albeit, it's more of a GenX, 30something usage, I was wrong to say twentysomething, sorry mean guy

there's a Halo Kitty tee shirt

these pretzels are making me thirsty

Presumably your employer knows you are/were a therapist. So you simply say "I was Mr. X's therapist, can I have another office?" Most therapists go to therapy themselves (cultural reference Dr. Melfi and Bogdonovitch), so it will be no surprise to your employers that Mr. X was in therapy or that you were his therapist. And since this employer employs therapists (you), they understand the rules of confidentiality and avoiding conflict such as sharing an office with someone you provided therapy with. I see no big issue. Of course, there may not be a spare office and you may have to suck it up and share.

I guess your real conflict is you want to tell people why you dislike this guy. Well, your professional ethics forbid it, so close your mouth and do your work. That is the nature of the profession you chose: that you treat sick people who do unplesant, destructive things. This is no different.

of course, it's plausible. Therapists work in clinics, hospitals, many types of facilities where the staff might share an office.

And thereapists are expected to get therapy themselves, so a therapist being a former patient of another therapist is standard.

Also, people with a personal or family history of psychiatric issues tend to be attracted to therapy as a profession, so it's not at all strange that a former patient becomes a therapist.

I agree with Domini that once the intimate contact is not exclusive, it loses it special qualities.

Also, the simple math of time affects relationships. Frankly, many relationships are suffering because couples do not have time to spend intimate time with each other. spreading that limited time over more people would just have a negative affect of the quality and quantity of time with one's spouse.

How can you be there for me if you're off feeding the dog with one of your other "freinds"?

A woman should have a man who'll listen to her and talk. A woman should have a man who has a basic knowledge of household mechanics and can fix things. A woman should have a man who'll romance her. But most important of all, it's important that these 3 men not meet each other! ha ha

I put that here cuz someone wrote that all hetero men in some way sympatize with polyamory. and I wanted to remind him that anyone, male, female, hetero, gay, can find the appeal of having multiple partners, not just you hetero men, who think you're the only people on earth who like and think about sex.

yes, true. But we do not have to have sex with someone for them to fill an important role in our life, and there is the poly failure, to make every relationship about free unfettered sex sex sex and sex. That is sad.

read any article about modern folk: we're rushed for time, overworked, and feel like we aren't spending enough quality time with our children or mates.

That is totally different from expecting one's spouse to fill all emotional needs. Most of us don't do that, sure there are needy people do that, but they exist in poly world too. That has NOTHING to do with feeling like we don't have enough time in the day to spend quality time with our partners.

I sure haven't read articles implying that most Americans are frustrated because they have too much free time, and spend too much time with their children, partner, and family! that would be great, to have too much free time!

with sticky pads. PUt a little pit of peanut butter in the middle and next morning throw it all away.

doesn't bother me at all; that's nature.

I laugh at all the people who say glue traps are cruel and recommend cats instead. Cats are just as cruel if not more, than glue traps.

Bonus points for making a witty reference to an earlier controversial letter! LOL!

try watching The Nature Channel: animals kill animals for coming into their territory all the time. It's as natural as anything.

I don't and nothing I said indicates such. I'm simply realistic. I merely said that killing animals that invade our territory is natural. It happens every day in nature, it is the true instinct of many animals. Crying that it's some horrible human construct is very misguided. I don't like mice or rats. I don't like hantavirus or other diseases they carry. I find it amusing all these people who claim to love nature but get unrealistic about the true nature of nature.

No. Unfortunately, the mouse IS, so I have to operate in his uncivilized immoral world where he doesn't respect my property lines or ask before he raids my pantry.
