Also, ((((Matt and family)))). Because I didn't see the post until after I posted the above.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm so sorry, {{{Matt}}}. What an awful thing.

ARGH. My mother has, after many different ditherings and hour long phone calls on the pros and cons, that she wants to cook for Thanksgiving instead of going out as we decided WEEKS AGO. I know this sounds shitty, but I am sick of making decisions, going over and over and listening to her go back and forth, and then have her change her mind. It's getting on my fucking nerves. What's the point of wasting my time with this bullshit if you're just going to change your mind. Plus, more often than not, she's changing her mind because someone complained or had some other idea or whatever. I realize that she's in a wierd place emotionally, and she has this fear that her friends will get upset and abandon her or something if she upsets them, so she does this shit. It doesn't piss me off any less.

Just fyi, turns out there's a religion founded in Salt Lake City that makes the Mormons sound reasonable. Really.

I got a giggle out of Dahlia Lithwick's comment on that case, Todd. [link]
Let's stipulate: Summum is weird. First off, having been founded in 1975, it violates my own base-line spiritual rule: "Never believe in any faith younger than you are." With its pyramids, and mummification, and nectars, and hairless blue aliens, Summum is an existential stew of transcendental Gnosticism and particle physics: Isaac Luria meets Star Trek Voyager. But, as my husband would be quick to point out, yours truly has been known to fly into a panic when a meat fork touches her milk sink, shrieking and driving the offending utensil deep into the dirt of the kitchen avocado plant and then waiting the ritual interval until its kosherness is mystically restored. All of which merely illuminates the First Aphorism of Religion Cases: Only the religious convictions of other people are weird. Yours are perfectly rational.
