Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Well crap. We can do the Chinese Chicken Salad without chicken if need be, then.

I think we need to stage an ita intervention. YOU MUST EAT.

On the plus side, she can always use the excuse that she was temporarily insane when she made the family boo boo, due to illness and LACK OF EATING.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

YOU MUST EAT.

Not until I'm fairly sure it's not coming right back up, dude.

Okay, then, IV fluids at least. Are you drinking? Anything?

A lunch salad? Around 9 bucks, I think. If I have a lunch salad out at a restaurant with iced tea and a cup of coffee afterwards, it's about $14. Add dessert and it's like $18, before tax/tip.

However, we do have a speaker, and it's an awards luncheon. I might be able to bring the price down to $22.

Our wings are not tired.

That should be a nice lunch, yeah? Or too expensive?

It sounds good to me. Not out of line in price from my experience.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Banana bag, STAT!

Allyson, I think that sounds like a $25 luncheon. Edit: If someone was like "hey, want to grab lunch? It's $25." I'd be like WTF? But if someone was selling even tickets for $25, it sounds like a bargain. IMO.

Our wings are not tired.

But I've called the implicated person, and they're confident that the denial will stay well entrenched.

That does sound encouraging. Now go eat something light.
