Aims, your MIL sounds like my grandmother. There wasn't a rainbow she couldn't piss on. She could find something negative to say about anything. Anything that OTHER people liked, that is.
Zen, my fondness for you is boundless...but I never realize that we were related! My grandmother was clearly your grandmother.
Thankfully, even as a teen, I was ultimately able to not take her seriously. When everything deserves pissing on, perhaps that means nothing deserves to be pissed on, right?
I want ice cream and I don't have any. I'm gonna start a specialty delivery service that only delivers ice cream, chocolate, and mac-and-cheese. Comfort Food on Wheels. 24/7, we're there for you. No frozen yogurt, no 100-calorie snacks, no organic pasta. Straight-up no-excuses comfort food. No surcharge. Tip your driver.
I'm with smonster on this.
I just wish Kozmo hadn't collapsed under its own weight. If they'd stuck to Zen's model, perhaps they'd have survived. Still, while it lasted, I loved being able to have a nice dinner and Farscape dvds delivered in an hour.
Will you deliver to Utah?
Who needs comfort more, really? I will have arrangements with convenience stores all over the US. Also, emergency response helicopters, for people in remote areas.

I'm a quarter mile from a freeway offramp. Let me know you're coming, and you can do a flying loop past the house, fling it out to me, and be back on the freeway in two minutes.
Zen, you should hook up with the people delivering tacos by drone.

This is an actual thing? Brilliant.
Connie, comfort food doesn't get flung at you from a speeding vehicle! It gets handed to you gently, in a temperature-controlled box with a ribbon on it, by an attractive person with a calm and understanding demeanor. Premium Members get a warm fuzzy blankie.
We take our comfort where we can, here in the rugged, wild west. Warmth and understanding may just be too much for us to stand.
zenkitty,
you might want to tweak your business idea. someone comes to me with comfort food and the right kind of demeanor, they might have to sit in my home for 4 hours and listen to ALL the problems.
Aims, I am sorry your mother-in-law is driving you crazy. FWIW, I often boggle at the comments she leaves on your posts.
Things I want to accomplish today:
1. Go to the farmers' market.
2. Sweep kitchen and bathroom, and sniffer the stairs, living room and dining room.
3. Actually read some fanfic and review it. (since taking a pledge to leave a comment on every fic I read, I have not read any because I didn't feel I had the energy.)
4. Nap.
5. Maybe try out the Italian restaurant around the block that has been there for a year.
