    No, he thought that just 'chatting' about whatever is suppose to help.
    So I am just as confused as you are.
    But on the bright side, it is entertaining at what she just openly throws
    into these strange therapy calls.

    She is 5ft tall, and her temper has a shorter fuse.
    Also we haven't been together since late november 2013,
    and the current year is 2019, so we haven't been together for
    over 5 years, so why the sudden need to talk to me about anything
    even if some derp with psych degree said it was a good idea.
    I still have a way of pissing her off, but now I don't really have
    to care.

    Again, no context, but from another derp with psych papers, it sounds like she regrets the way things ended between the two of you and feels guilt over some possible wrongs she may have committed and now to alleviate these negative feelings is possibly calling to admit she was wrong, apologize, and ask for forgiveness. And one of the reasons she's throwing literally everything and the kitchen sink into these conversations is because the awkwardness of discussing her love life is far less painful and awkward than admitting she was wrong, apologizing, and asking for forgiveness. But then again, I don't really know the story so I might be completely wrong.

    I told my psycho-ex I was leaving her, it was the only time she stopped raving. We met a few weeks later and she asked me why I left. I said she wasn't taking the counciling seriously, and she laughed. At that point, I told her we were done and I wouldn't see or speak to her again. I had nightmares of seeing her face for months, til the anxiety damped down. It's been 25 blissful years since. When it's done, it's done. Thank Gohd there were no cell phones then. If there's anyone in her life, it shouldn't be you. Color me biased to my peeps, but I'd rather see you happy with FP, and not deal with shite. :D

    He needs to tidy the house, fumigate the mattress, shave, find a hairband, wash some jeans, discard the jars of bodily fluids at bedside, and remove the lady, tiger and motorbike poster.

    Ok. I am gonna suggest something really radical here. How about changing your fucking number, so she can't call you and piss you off/confuse you/wind you up etc? To say I am unhappy about this turn of events is putting it mildly. If she has guilt, tough shit. She made her choice, she did what she did. There is no rewind button, for her or any of us. Here's hoping that I never meet her, cos I don't wanna know how that might turn out!

    :fight:

    That poem 'The Female Of The Species' by Rudyard Kipling springs to mind here.

    I think I am going to jump on the ignore the call thing, and hope
    she gets the hint.
    As for meeting her, well that isn't something that is going to happen,
    cause there is 1300 miles between us, so don't get your hopes up.

    I don't know anything about sailing, but I have heard and read that Nautor makes ok sailing boats and that Swan's have a good name.

    I don't know if they still make them in Finland or somewhere else. If they do, it must be good boat.

    I don't drink (anymore) so I might not be the right person to suggest any alcohol, but still...

    If the quality of gin is important, I would suggest Finnish booze...

    http://www.goodnewsfinland.com/finnish-gin-selected-as-best-in-world-2/

    Swan + Napue... and someone else to do the sailing?

    And of course there must be a sauna...

    Certainly wasn't getting my hopes up for that one. I don't like becoming the She-Hulk.

    Hi Alan,

    Swan or Swann (?) build some of the most expensive sailing yachts, or they did last time I looked in a sailing magazine. 60'/100' boats -and that's why my 'Swan 18' joke was so very very brilliant. The advertisements always end, err, from memory:

    'For sailing pleasure and design requirements call Greta to book the exclusive home visits and consultationing. Our provision for you of the very best in exquisite luxury and refinements: your dreams really do come true.' I used to read them in the bathroom when I was a kid.

    Gin Palace - and thanks for the gin, buddy - however in sailing parlance any vessel without a mast, and not a fishing boat, and with a fat guy at the wheel and 400 'bikini babes' [apologies] is a gin palace, or all motor boats. Boats must have masts, unless they are battleships or British or American or French or some other country's, maybe Panama's merchant vessels/fleet. Essentially people on motor boats are a lower or lesser breed of person than the man on his sailing yacht. It's a rule of water.

    Can't you just make a nice avatar of you being all excited to visit @CT? In an appropriate way. I see him enough, y'know?

    He's TOO photogenic. Overwhelming, I'd also be planing toward Arizodo in no time at all...
    ...
    I'd click up my own selfie - just I took one at Xmas wearing a Santa hat and I looked like derelict Scrooge.

    Like I said: I don't know anything about sailing. I suppose it is a bit like Budweiser beer - f*cking close to water.

    But as a Finn I know Finns.

    If a Finnish rubber company thinks that they should make telephones without wires, they make worlds first mobile phones - and also best ones until Apple comes to markets.

    If Finns want to make ammo, they make them well. (Lapua)

    If Finns make riffles, they make good ones. (Tikka, Sako)

    If we make sailing boats, they are good. (Swan by Nautor)

    If we make military communication systems, they will be the best in the world. (Bittium)

    If Finns make gin or whiskey, it'll be best in the world. (Kyro)

    If we make ice breakers, ferry boats, cruisers... They'll be the best ones.

    If we drive cars, shoot enemies... we do it well.

    I don't know anything about sailing. But I know us. We are like 5 000 000 autistic persons focusing all attention to what we do.

    But... If you like puddling at sea, I hope you'll eventually buy yourself a Swan.

    Maybe some 40 years old, small and humble...

    You don't need a best seller book for that. A good seller is enough.

    I hope this motivates writing.

    Finns are funny. So different to Swedes - in a crowd you can distinguish from the colours...bright Swedes/black Finns.

    If you find that the phone just keeps ringing, and it bugs you too much, pick it up and say this to her.

    In a crowd? More than two people? In a touching distance? Without sex or violence?

    AAAAAARRRRGGHHHH!!!

    (Not our thing!)

    I stand away from everyone else at the bus stop. Maybe I'm a Finn in disguise? o_O

    Promising, but not enough. Sounds Swedish to me.

    If a bus stop keeps distance to you and looks a bit scared... then you are a Finn.

    And Finns don't use disguise if we are not in a war, a rock festival or in school or otherwise drunk.
