Washte stops humming _Raven’s Child_, unburies her face from the scruff of the doggie in her lap and stops stroking the tummy of the other… Who you calling a slacker?? Gives **Tygr** a fresh box of aloe vera kleenex - can’t have ya lookin’ like Rudolph - and hands her a critter of choice (they’re good listeners ya know), and hands her a spoon to dig into her stew. Helps **CJ** out of the hot tub and find a comfy place on a beanbag near the fire, wraps her in a fuzzy blankie and a warm lavandar aromatherapy neck wrap. Who else needs owt? ---

No slackin’ here… Yet. Oh no! The movie is at the antelope stampede. **Tyger** can you pass me a few of those klenex? _sniff_ That little voice begging Mufasa to wake up just gets me all wattered up. Ok. Who needs refills? I’m only going to the kitchen once so if you want anything you better let me know right now, 'cause I ain’t going back again. _listens for bombardment_ Come have a seat Tyger, let teh Adult in your head take a break and relax as only a Child can. You know the Disney movie only helps right? I knew you couldn’t resist. Much Better. ---

_sniff_sniff\* I just came from the Fred Rogers thread._sniff_sniff\* It’s _so_ silly to be so broke up about a kids show host. I can’t help but remember taking naps with LittleTel (who’s now 17) while watching his show in the afternoon. Man, talk about you bonding moments _sniff_sniff\* I watched the old documentry PBS ran, and even caught the end of the Nightline rerun lastnight. I am _Bummed_. Truly, I say Mr. Rodgers did the work of the Holy Spirits._sniff_sniff\* Pass the Chocolate, the Earl Grey and the Bunny. ---

Hands **TelcontarStorm** a kilo of Toblerone and a Terry’s chocolate orange, a cuppa, and the purdy bunny. Also offers a temple and shoulder rub to calm down. Checks on **CJ** to make sure her neck is doing better and gives her a cuppa as well. Tea makes everything better doncha know 😉 ---

**evilmthldy** , welcome to the Board! I’ve just got back from the library with a bunch of Terry Pratchett books (I really did in real life), so we’ve got 3 whole weeks to enjoy them. There’s also a fresh batch of real, not microwave popcorn. On the other hand, it’s official, I do have whiplash or, as the doc put it, a neck which went “boi-oi-oi-oi-oing!” So I could do with some comfort. No massages, alack! It’s still tender and swollen. Hmmm. Wonder if I could get my body in a hot tub with an ice pack around my neck . . . . By the way, I told my therapist about this thread, and I think she’s finally starting to understand what I see in this place. :Raises a glass to the finest group of people on the planet: CJ ---

\ Here, **Bodypoet** , here’s an armful of our good red oak firewood. I ran out to sweety’s and filled the pickup truck. I’ll stack the rest right here out side the kitchen door. **DeVena** , if you’re making fried chicken _strips_, I got Granny’s Comeback Sauce right here for dippin’, sistah. Man I love this !!! 😃 ---

**holds fingers close together** I’m this close to crying, cause this thread is so great. k… I’ll pass around footrubs, backrubs, and head massages, as long as I get em back at some point. Also, I have some Ghiradelli Brownies over here… heaven on earth, whether you believe in it or not… mmmmmmmm. **wanders around, gets some chili, pets a cat, snuggles under a chenille blanket… waits for a turn in the hot tub** (And I wonder why I got addicted to the SDMB so easily) ---

Heavens to Besty, do I smell Ghiradelli brownies? Bring 'em on! I’ll just sit over here while you all rest, and have a little munch or three. Honest, I’ll leave some for you. [sub]Maybe.[/sub] I also picked up a bunch of pistachios, some nice salty chips, and two jumbo boxes of those cheddary cracker things that I can never remember the name of. You know, the ones that turn your teeth orange. And hey, while you’re all here, you can help me bring in this amazing old green primitive table I got at auction last night! Is it just the coolest thing EVER? Look, the drawer is handmade, dovetail joints and all. {sighs in appreciation} Hmmm…everyone’s snoozing away. Awww, aren’t they so sweet? I’m not going to bother them, then, I’ll just wait until they start waking up. {Karol goes off in search of wild makeup, shaving cream, and stray bras to stick in the freezer…}[sub]hehehehehe…[/sub] [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/thats-it-lets-have-a-comfort-party/156823.md?page=6) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/thats-it-lets-have-a-comfort-party/156823.md?page=8)
