That's what I figured.

Bob Costas just made an anti-handgun commentary on the outro of the halftime report on an NFL broadcast. Wow.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have a spice grinder like this one that I use mostly for cloves and cumin. I used to have an electric blade coffee grinder but the motor died and I replaced it with the manual one.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Is that the one where Loehmann's used to be?
Yes? North-East corner.

For those who may not know, an NFL player shot himself to death yesterday outside the Chiefs stadium (after shooting his girlfriend at home).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Wow.
ION I have joined a health club. It's only a block away so really convenient.

Convenient is awesome!
The empanada I ate for dinner is stabbing me in the stomach. I get them every week, no idea why it hates me tonight? But then, even my swim hated me, so maybe that's just that.

Vent ahead...warning.
K-Bug, when I agreed that you bf could stay with us it was because it cut down his commute by a ton. And he was going home, sometimes taking you, on the weekends. Well, now he is unemployed. Doesn't go anywhere without you. Doesn't like you to do anything without him. Is cutting you off from your friends. And you both were extremely rude and antisocial today when we had a mutual friend over to make cookies.
But I never get one on one time with you anymore so I never have the chance to say any of this. But I think you know all this cause you avoid talking with me during the few moments available.
Yes, he cleaned the fridge and helped organize the garage. But he hasn't paid his share of the food in two weeks. I'm also not looking forward to him being home next week while I'm working. I may have to work from the office and I hate that.
In short. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
and my folks have clearly not been sharing a table with anyone. They eat alone at a small table in the corner, which makes me sad. How will they meet people if they don't make an effort?
While I can see where them meeting people and being social would be excellent and best for them long-term, possibly just for brief moments accepting this is home now might be Good Enough? As much as I absolutely see this is the right place for them, I can see where it is hard and then, on top of that, change itself being hard. If they eat alone at a small table for a bit, at least they are eating in the communal space and maybe slowly both adapting. Unless you think that meeting others and feeling a part of a communal group will help them in the actual acts of accepting and settling, in which case, push.
