Tibby is my draft folder of emails that I write when I’m upset and go back later and delete them.

The fact that Tibby SORTS and FILES the thoughts makes this all the more soothing and loveable!

What else is in that briefcase I wonder…

I really needed this today. Perfect sentiment. I think we need Tibby stickers and magnets.

I sent this to my husband. Letting things go (in my opinion) is not his strong suit. His reply: “Thanks! I need a couple of Tibbys.“

I love the thought that there could be multiple Tibbys!

I like Tibby. I imagine that she's the one who shows up when you press 'Stay calm. Help is on the way' button on the elevator. (On more than one occasion I was tempted to have one of these buttons installed in my living room.) Tibby?

As a addicted youtube watcher, my secondary addiction is reacting. If people have a total different opinion than mine, I love to provoke. It is a bad habbit I know. But what do you do if you see people admiring Trump, or are against abortion without thinking it through? Or hate anyone who has no problem with lgbtqia? I respond get it out of my system so it won't bother me the rest of the day. I try to do it in a way with some humor and it is hard to reply to. But I should put a brake on it or even have a break from it. Tibby could be the answer.

Oh my gosh, I laughed out loud at "my secondary addiction is reacting." So funny. Yes, Tibby could be the answer for this. She is eager to fill that "don't need to react" file, so just picture her standing there, saying, "File it, file it, file it, file it." Engaging with people online is like banging your head against the wall -- better to hand it off to Tibby. (Also, sometimes I WILL write down my reaction -- just in a private Notes document or Word document that I don't send to anyone. It helps me process my thinking, which I find therapeutic.)
