Hello Family!

I thought it might be fun if we had a "Calgon" thread. What's a Calgon thread? It's a thread that takes you away! For those who don't get this reference, Calgon was a bath powder sold in the '70's whose tagline was, "Calgon! Take me away!" The commercial, if memory serves, portrayed a woman with lots of stressors happening at once... .baby crying, water boiling over, that kind of thing. She cries out, "Calgon! Take me away!" The commercial ends with the woman enjoying a luxurious bath, totally relaxed, rejuvenated for whatever comes her way next. At least that's how it is in my memory.

We all need a break from the stressors in our lives and loving a person with BPD traits is sometimes very consuming. So, let's have some fun! We deserve it!

We are writing a story together, three words at a time. The "rules" are:

 Bullet: important point (click to insert in post) Before you add your words, copy and paste the story as it appears in the thread above yours.

 Bullet: important point (click to insert in post) You may only add three words each time you post.

 Bullet: important point (click to insert in post) You may not post twice in a row.*

 Bullet: important point (click to insert in post) Have fun!

*The person whose three words "ends" the story may begin the next story with three words.

There are some creative people here, the clever usernames all over the boards are proof of that. So whaddya say, family? Ready to be taken away?

To get us started, I'll name a location and post the first three words. Since Calgon gave me the idea, the first story will take place in a large hardware store, in the bathtub section. When the story is finished, maybe we could think of a fun title for it. Here we go!

Hi Family!

I'll be out and about with my GS4 today, so I won't be around much. I look forward to reading this story every time I come here and can't wait to see where it goes while I'm away.

Thanks so much for your contributions! - A wise member once said, "fun is fun and we all need more of it in our lives!"
