I may have just ranted about (my love for) the serial comma here: [link] , instead of doing it in here.
Let me guess. We're in a hurry.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
*snif* I feel like one of our pet arguments has grown up and taken over the whole internets! I'm so proud, except when I'm like, "waitaminnit, that's OURS".

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
actually factually flown
I have to quibble just a wee bit. (this was news to me so I figure I'm not the only one who didn't know)
A rectangular variant of the battle flag used by some Confederate Army Units, now called "The Confederate Flag" or "The Confederate Battle Flag", despite its never having historically represented the CSA as a nation, has become a widely recognized symbol of the South...
The self-declared Confederate enclave of Town Line, New York, lacking a genuine Confederate flag, flew a version of this flag prior to its 1945 vote to rejoin the Union.
During World War II some U.S. military units with Southern nicknames, or made up largely of Southerners, made the flag their unofficial emblem.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Vortex, considering personality and recent unwanted and resented changes in her life, is there any possibility she could be having organic mental issues? Would it be worth speaking to her doctor and having it checked out, just to cover your bases? I don't mean to speak out of turn, but when I dealt on a regular basis with a difficult relative, I did miss signs of an actual illness because I attributed behavior to general crankiness when it was something more serious.
I wouldn't be surprised. I have tried to get her to see a medical/mental health professional, but the closest she has come is saying that she was going to check herself into a hospital in New Mexico for a month. And that wasn't because she really needed that level of care she wanted to scare my brother and I into doing what she wanted.
And even if we could get her to see someone, I suspect that the second she heard something that she didn't want to hear, she would simply dismiss it and say "we both have Ph.D.s, we just disagree". Not that I don't keep trying.

This is important. Still, I wish your mom wasn't falling apart all over you.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Dear sweet heavens, a 37 yo guy on OKC just messaged me who in his profile admits that he borrowed "Eclipse" from his niece and it "turned out pretty good." As Tom said last night when I read him something from someone else's profile (creepy free-form "poem"), "Kill it with fire."

Announcement: I have now, twice in a row, opened a can of tuna instead of cat food.
Result: tuna salad for lunch
Analysis: need to store them in separate cabinets

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Even my cat's tuna goes in the cat food cupboard and not the Cass food cupboard. Because of exactly that, smonster.

Better than the other way around.
Vortex, I'm sorry that things with your mother continue to be so difficult.
