Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Metamucil and apple sauce sounds like death by a 1000 cuts to me.

And that's a whole separate issue -- he REALLY shouldn't still be living alone

This sounds like the real issue to me, although I admit I don't know your SIL, but her reaction sounds like guilt to me. As you've pointed out, his eating may not be perfect, but it's fine. And whose eating is perfect anyway?

I can't get into Southwest right now. too many people trying for cheap tickets.

My mom loves applesauce, hates Metamucil, so it works!

Connie, carrots, butter, bourbon and brown sugar. Nom!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Connie, carrots, butter, bourbon and brown sugar. Nom!

Bourbon makes everything better.

And that's a whole separate issue -- he REALLY shouldn't still be living alone

This sounds like the real issue to me

Oh, it 100% is. The problem with him being an autonomous adult is that he's resistant to moving to a care facility, so unless he's incapacitated, whether mentally or physically, he's staying put in his house. So we have to work with that, which means frozen dinners.

And I've posted about pancakes so much that now I REALLY want blueberry pancakes. I have both pancake mix AND blueberries...but it's 11 p.m., so I think I'll pass on the pancakes for tonight. But soon, man. SOON.

Virgin America to the rescue! Their price to LA was the same as the lowest price mentioned on Southwest, and the site actually worked.

David, if I get the ScarJo hair, there either will be recriminations or pictures if it actually looks good.

I am willing to live with these terms *and* provide a wide range of photo references that examine that cut with multiple subtle variations.

Like I'm going to say no to photo references.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
