Is your self-published book on the downsides of sexual addiction an appropriate thank you gift?
Is your answer different if I tell you the giver is a man and the recipient is a woman?
Does it sweeten the pot if I tell you there’s an accompanying workbook too?
Also: I have a book on the downsides of sexual addiction with an accompanying workbook if anyone is interested. Just email me. Okay, you’ll have to white out all my answers and margin doodles in the workbook, obviously, but, you know, email me.
Because nothing says “Thank you for all you did” like a book that says “I’m assuming you have a serious problem.”
No DVD companion set? Rip-off.
I think a facepalm in proportion to the badness of this “gift” would knock one’s nose out of the back of one’s head and stick it into the wall like a crossbow bolt.
Is it from the computer guy???
Katie, you beat me to it.
My second guess was the creepy pastor from Facebook…
Question 1: Only if it is autographed. And personalized.
Question 2: Nah. We’re living in post women’s lib times.
Question 3: Workbooks are sweet, but coloring books are the icing on the cake.
Maybe it’s a preventative measure???
Oh, and are there particular upsides…to sexual addiction?
THANK YOU FOR WHAT??? We wanna know. 😛
Brian — Hahahahaha. Yes. I need a DVD, please. I mean, if I can’t see the mechanics of sexual addiction, how will I know if I have it??
Katie — Nah. But maybe I should give it to him. And “downsides” was just tongue in cheek.
roo — Not him either. Too bad I only have one copy.
Kate P — Preventative measure? Well, on the spectrum of sexual addiction, I suppose I am more addicted than many withered crones and less addicted that most rabbits. Back to the workbook!
HEM — Not what you think! Hahahaha. It was more along the lines of “Thank you for praying for me and my family (and other hands-on stuff you did, blahdie blah),” which makes it even WEIRDER. A card or just the verbal thank you would have more than sufficed, you know?
Before you engage in prayer, pippa, please understand the risks ……..
What?????
Seriously????????
Tracey – why are people so repeatedly crazy right to your face? Is it something astrological? I mean, this story is NUTS.
Sheila — You suffer from the same problem!! As well you know!! Are we putting out some pheromone? Is there some medication we can take? What??
hahaha Totally
I think it goes back to the fact that people seem to assume (wrongly) that we are open and soft and accepting – and they completely miss our cranky-pants side. Maybe it’s how our faces are structured? We look soft and girlie. People ASSUME I am accepting and tolerant, maybe because I am pale with freckles, so I LOOK sweet – when really I am a walking prison camp surrounded by barbed wire. Then they’re all shocked like, “Wow … you have boundaries??”
YES. I AM CRANKY.
Maybe it’s like when your cat leaves a headless field rat on the hood of your car- in their opinion, it’s the best they have to offer.
Because it’s their own work, I’m guessing.
sheila — //I am a walking prison camp surrounded by barbed wire.//
Hahahahahahahaha!! Howling!!
Exactly. I think there’s truth in what you say. We look soft or approachable. I look rather like your basic bimbo. But things are not as they appear, are they?
Sal — That could be. Good point. It’s his version of the headless field rat. Hahahaha.
