"Don't worry, I plan to eat a double cone of Graeter's pumpkin ice cream at your funeral."
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

Because books.
Mental health -- including pleasure, like a scoop of unexpected delicious ice cream -- is an important part of overall health. Why doesn't anyone understand that?

"Don't worry, I plan to eat a double cone of Graeter's pumpkin ice cream at your funeral."
Mmmm...tastes like schadenfreude. And a little cinnamon.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
and, as a BTW, I love to talk about what I eat - what Iam planning to eat and why I have dcided to eat what I want to eat But 1) I expect that people think I am crazy ( and boring) and 2) I don't expect anyone to do what I do .

Beth, I'm cool with that. It's only if you said, "I am eating this persimmon today because it will help me to never get sick and never die, and clearly since you are not eating a persimmon, you want to die," that I would roll my eyes forever at you. But you possess tact, unlike this co-worker.
Seriously, the ice cream comment is not even CLOSE to the worst thing she's said.

Even if you were on her eating plan, you might have decided that Graeter's was worth it and be planning to have celery for dinner. You might have a rare condition that requires you to consume cream and sugar. (Maybe they'll decide my anemia requires mass quantities of ice cream. A girl can dream.)

Yup. But instead it's "I can tell everything about your health from this one thing you are eating on this instance out of hundreds of meals and snacks throughout the year."
And then, of course, on a much simpler level, "I think I should be all up in your business!"

Steph, speaking of Graeters--I just found it in my supermarket yesterday!! All chip flavors, but included raspberry chip. I did not buy any though. Cause, y'know, I care about my health.

Man, I wish I cared about MY health! But then...ice cream!
