i drive the bus?

Actually, I DID hear it in California. It IS an OLD saying though. I may not even have heard it for the past 25+ years!

I also disagree that she should know by simply reading about AS. Every now and then I have this problem and now, thinking about it, I realize it used to be worse. If I hadn't, I would wonder WHAT is wrong with you guys. I imagine NTs would feel the same. Then again, a danish person once asked me for a can-aabener(sp?), and it took me a LONG time to realize what she was asking for. The English term isn't much different, and doesn't sound much different! can-opener! Sometimes, language is funny.

I don't even know how I learned all this stuff, and I DO try to question phrases that don't make sense. That has gotten harder NOW, due to foreigners. It is like that seen in MIB where the alien says "it is on orions belt"(Meaning it is on the astronomical belt known as orion, in space), but he SHOULD have said "it is on orions collar"(Meaning it is on his CAT's, whose name is orion, collar, around his neck.)

i assume it's not referring to those buses that allow passengers to hit the overhead "break-line" to make the bus stop for their stops.

The word bus really doesn't mean anything. Sometimes they may just say "I'll drive".

Some languages take a LOT of liberties! Some examples?

English
It costs an arm and a leg!(it's expensive)
It's greek to me(I can't understand it)
Spanish
It costs an eye of the face(It's expensive)
German
It sounds like spanish to me(I can't understand it)

she means she dont do noting. u go see her and then sort ur own probs out.

Ok, where is Cockney Rebel? Cockney Rebel is THE expert in this matter!

When i refused anti depresants from my doctor as amongst other reasons they are made by the military industrial complex that is killing Iraqis she asked me what has that got to do with the price of fish.

Regarding thew bus, she is saying that she is just there to advise and help but you are the one in control as it is your body you are driving.

So did you tell her NOTHING, what does that have to do with iraqis getting killed?

But since when does the government make antidepressants?

I really don't like public transport. I avoid it wherever possible.

Well big business and plutocracy cabals are as much behind the slaughter in Iraq and the chemicalization of our food and our air.

It's a common mistake.
Many people think they are in control of their own bus; but in fact it is just an illusion.
I would stop visiting this therapist ( at least i wouldn't give her any money to say such nonsense).

yup

NOT my field.....economic infrastructure? I think your Dr., in this example, is off topic entirely though. Oh, look I'll use an appropriate metaphor to describe my first 2 sentences regarding your Dr.'s statement: Penguins live in Antarctica. Do you like bowling? Non sequitor.

I think a little more context would be helpful on the "bus" comment. From what little I could infer, it sounds like a metaphor for you being in control of your life/situation. I'd have asked for a clarifier from the therapist.

I'd have asked for a refund.

As long as it's not the Short Bus you're driving...

When I saw the title of this thread, first thing that popped into my mind was the phony priest in Johnny Dangerously, making up fake latin phrases. "Dey gas da bus. Me gas da bus. You gas da bus. We missed the bus. They missed the bus. When's the next bus?"
