Trudy - try a specialty cooking/kitchenware store. Sur La Table would probably have what yuo want, if there's a store in your area. What am I saying? New York! maybe Dean and DeLuca?
Say! look at you! You look just like me! We're very pretty.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
That's the awesome thing with stress eating - if it's working for you, then that's the correct prescription. (Plus more PB for meeee!)
Or chocolate (my drug of choice).
ALWAYS a good answer (as long as it's not white chocolate).

Dark chocolate coffee beans. Crunchy and tasty and caffeine!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Thanks, Todd!

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Sean, does that mean he's moving out?? Hopefully paying SOME (if not all) back rent???

Yeah, that seems to be the case. At least the first part, anyway. We'll see how much of what he owes me winds up in my hands before he's gone.
Somebody please remind me that I am not an asshole for asking him to live up to the obligations he agreed to take on. Also, that I am not, nor did I ever agree to be, parent to a 26 year old.

You wanted a grown-up to act like a grown-up. That is a valid expectation for grown-ups to have.

I basically laid down the law this morning, and said he needs to pay all of rent on the first of the month from now on, and pay me what he owes me, or we need to call it quits. He decided on the "call it quits" option. Apparently this has not been a good morning for him financially. And I apologized for piling on the bad news, but I also told him that I couldn't wait any longer to say what I had to say.

Sean, you are not an asshole. I hope you are able to at least get something from him before he goes.
I feel like I have been running around all day and accomplished nothing. I went to the mall but only found a couple of gifts, made a quick trip to the market but only bought the absolute essentials because I was running late for volunteering at the library. Finally made it to the library, but I was feeling sore by then and don't feel like I did much.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It's rough that your roommate's going through a bad time, but that doesn't obligate you to carry him financially, especially when you're also going through a bad time.
