There's a simmering conflict brewing in our household.

See, Diane and I each enjoy snacking occasionally at night. She's got some sort of chex mix thing and I keep a can of peanuts handy.

Lately, it seems, she's not satisfied with her snacks. They're not good enough. I've caught her several times sneaking and helping herself to my stash.

I'm trying to be understanding but I'm getting tired of dancing around the real issue here. This is obviously a classic case of peanuts envy.

ooh!!!

putalockonthecabintet!

That's what I would do. [Razz]

Y'know, Chex Mix does come in a variety with peanuts already included.

rivka,

Thanks for the oedipying remark.

The thing that gets me is that this is the kind of thing I'd expect from a junger woman than Diane.

My, such language.

I wonder if the nuts feel equally a-salt-ed.

Trevor,

I'm not sure we need to subject things to that kind of analysis.

Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :

Stephen, you are such a goober.

Posted by Alucard... (Member # 4924) on :

I have this feeling that if I kept nuts in the house, my wife couldn't keep her hands off them either.

[Runs to aisle 2]

Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :

Bob, that id a terrible thing to say!

Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :

Find out what your wife's motivations are for handling your nuts.

Getting her to open up might be pure shell, but then she could qualify as a court reporter.

Trevor,

She already has a job. I don't think she'd want to undergo the transference.

Posted by Phanto (Member # 5897) on :

I have to take the chance to go off topic and say I can't stand Freud, nor can I believe in his "theories." [Wink]

Posted by Alucard... (Member # 4924) on :

This would only make sense if your Psychology 101 professor made you watch the same videos but here it goes:

"I'm Philip Zimbardo." We used to walk all over campus screaming louder and louder who was the real Philip Zimbardo...

"I'm Philip Zimbardo".

"No, I'm Philip Zimbardo".

[louder this time] "No, I'm PHILIP ZIMBARDO!!!"

(repressing reply to off-topic non-pun)

Obviously, these are all complex issues.

Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :

(Has met Philip Zimbardo, who was annoyed with me and my comrades at the time. Memories...)

Posted by Alucard... (Member # 4924) on :

I would love to meet him, because I would be compelled to go up to him and say, "I'm Philip Zimbardo" and then laugh hysterically.

It could be an interesting career change -> but can she type? Apparently the last one could only hunt and pecker.

Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :

I think this thread is regressing...

Don't mind me, though. I'm just pulling your legumes.

Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :

I did talk to Diane about this.

She said I was just being nutpicky and I shouldn't pecan her.

Posted by punwit (Member # 6388) on :

I can only say to All, Mon Dieu!

Posted by punwit (Member # 6388) on :

Perhaps I should have ceschewed replying at all.

Posted by punwit (Member # 6388) on :

Mon dieu! I've balled up this entire series.

Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :

Stop! Cashew see this is a real problem?

It's driving me nuts.

Posted by weezer (Member # 6643) on :

Methinks you need Dr. Phil.

Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :

Well, stop pecan at it.

Someone brazilnut! Get it?! [Big Grin]

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

No.

Posted by weezer (Member # 6643) on :

Don't go there! [No No]

Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :

You guys are pun-nuts. [Razz]

Posted by weezer (Member # 6643) on :

"Al-mond" we are! [Razz]

Wait- you're playing off of "pine nuts," right?

Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :

Oh my god! I know who Philip Zimbardo is!!!

[Eek!]

that's hilarious!

My friends and I used to run around campus yelling "MELLOW" at the top of our lungs.

Um...guess you had to be there.

Ah, the irony.

Posted by weezer (Member # 6643) on :

Isn't it ironic?
doncha think

Don't you mean "Dr. Philbert"?

Posted by weezer (Member # 6643) on :

I said what I meant, and I meant what I said. [Big Grin]

Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :

OK, I am forced to admit that I don't have a clue as to the context of why the "MELLOW" or "I'm Phil Zimbardo" stuff is funny.

I remember his film on the Stanford experiment.

When I talked to him, he was wanting to know why we weren't protesting the deplorable accessibility at the conference hotel (the Amer. Psych. Accoc., which he was president of at the time, had chosen it) instead of protesting one of the presenters at his conference.

(I think I was supposed to be impressed with how knowledgable and sympathetic he was in regard to disability access issues. Instead, I was totally unimpressed with the somewhat transparent and totally ineffective way he tried to approach us.)

Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :

Ya know, I thought about seeing a therapist, but I blanched when I saw how much I would have to shell out.

I say nuts to that. With the money I save I can go to Brazil.

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

Those therapists probably laugh whenever they cashew those checks.

Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :

Well, this time the laugh would be on them. There's almost nutting in my checking account.

Nuts!

Posted by weezer (Member # 6643) on :

I hate therapists! Especially ones that say "and how did that make you feel?" You know when they say that and their pen moves rapidly they're just playing tic-tac-toe. [Roll Eyes]

Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :

"I hear you saying you hate therapists, weezer."

[Wink]

Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :

I knew a therapist once who was terrified of patients. They really got him adlered.

He was a real Freudy-cat.

Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :

Some people like to use therapy to explore the collective unconscious represenations of archetypes in their dreams.

But that approach really only appeals to the Jung at heart.

Posted by weezer (Member # 6643) on :

not to an old fogie like me, eh?

Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :

You have to admire therapists in general:

It is quite ironic that one can convince a nut to shell out chashews.
