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.

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.

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

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.

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!!!"

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.

I did talk to Diane about this.

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

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.

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.)

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.

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

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]

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

He was a real Freudy-cat.

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.

You have to admire therapists in general:

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