Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

(Also, even if you cannot eat coffeecake you could very well be making it to serve to others.)

I think my post was that it was tasty, so he cleverly Sherlocked that I must have eaten some and therefore don't have IBS. Or something.

But yeah, it's annoying as shit, and I've mostly just tried to ignore his weird food-policing comments, but I think the next time it happens I need to push back. I seriously don't think he's doing it maliciously; I think he just has this idea in his head that he knows what's best (for...everyone, I guess?) and spouts off his opinion where it's not solicited.

Maybe I'll go have some coffee cake right NOW!

So, if you make coffee cake you are not allowed to have IBS?

From what you say, it sounds like he is generally anti-baked goods. Which I cannot condone, baked goods are our friends. And food.

I think so. Or at least he is of the opinion that *I* should not eat baked goods. And he is allowed to have that opinion, but I definitely didn't solicit it, nor do I want to hear it.

I think he's just jealous of my coffee cake.

That is what makes the most sense.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I feel like coffee cake is bland enough that it might help IBS?

Because books.

Clearly, the coffee cake should be sent to ME.

Nice try, Amy. The answer is still: Tim will shank a person before he'll let a coffee cake leave our house.

FINE.

The sun is coming out! Which is lovely after yesterday's relentless rain.
