That, too. Like I said, not gonna happen without an act of God or some other natural disaster, so I don't worry about it too much. You know, except for when he's inexplicably home late from work and I'm certain that a bus *has* run him over and I will be alone forever... Gotta love catastrophic thinking.
Yep. Right there with you, down to the "Ohmigod, he's late coming home from the D&D game! He's never late! Something Has Happened!" thinking. which I went through last night, and yes I know, I'm a big doofus.
yeah, I need to get Tom a cell phone so I can stop imagining horrible accidents on 128 and even if he's OK, he couldn't get in touch with me... I am a Doofus.
Bored now. At the Burbank airport with shitbaggy business people.

I really want Teacup Guy to get a cellphone. He has a meeting tonight, and then he is coming to my place. I have no idea when the meeting will end, and if it runs later than I expect I will likely become worried that he got into a car accident or something equally as horrible. Add me to the Doofus club.
I'm the President of the Big Doofus Club, not that there was any doubt.
At least I know I am in very good company.
Does anybody else, on being told by someone that they don't watch TV, or don't have a TV in their house, go into an automatic defensive mode? (not even completely conscious I'm doing it a lot of the time). Just me?
It really depends on the tone, for me. I know people (my sister used to be one of them) who felt it made them special, and it shows in the voice. Others just don't care about TV one way or another, or don't have the time, or are scared of the addiction.
As long as I'm not getting value judgment vibes, I don't bristle.
I do that too, ET. Teacup Guy doesn't have a TV.
