Subject: [Puptcrit] Creepy puppets and mental health


Hi all,

I have an interesting perspective on the creepy puppet thing. My husband
is a 'psychotherapeutic social worker' here at Indiana University.  My
avocation has sparked a lot of commentary there.  It seems that a good
number of these shamen and shawomen of sanity are wigged out by puppets.
The support staff likes puppets. I always get into interesting
conversations with the psychologists/psychiatrists etc. at office
get-togethers.  I keep getting invited back and I never get a bill, so I
guess that is going okay.  

They are particularly creeped out by my 120 drawer library card catalog
that I use for storage of puppets/puppet stuff which we call the puppet
morgue.  I don't really mind... but I have to admit I do enjoy one
little personal quirk when I have to go to these things.  I kinda count
therapists and psychs and multiply by $50 to $80 an hour for the time I
spend at the party.  I figure these are some of the most expensive dates
my husband will ever take me on:)! 

Best wishes!
