I think I cross boundaries often. Is it okay for me to cross them? Dr. Bob maintains his boundaries so it shouldn't be much of a problem if I cross them right?

He said he doesn't think we are just drops in a bucket. (or pens in your case)
>I have so many of those little blue pens all over the place and if I gave them all a name in addition to remembering all my in real life stuff I would never remember which pen was which.
I think I post here often enough that he would remember me...
> And maybe he thinks of us more as pens with a name rather then just ball point pens, I don't know. But this is my take on it.
I think he thinks we are much more than just names.
