That's so scary, Lisa. Glad things aren't worse, I guess.
Spike: Ladies. Come on in. Plenty of blood in the fridge, don't be shy. Dawn: You mean like, real blood? Spike: What do you think? Dawn: Mostly I think, 'Eew!'

Punishingly Intricate
Yeah, definitely. I know it's hard to give up the independence but they have options. And, while they aren't in a bustling urban center, they aren't isolated by any means. There's a grocery store across the street and a bus line that runs nearby. They can take the train down here. They can get cabs. He just feels like he's letting people down by not being able to do everything he used to.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
It's gotta be hard to give up that sense of independence, but he needs to be safe. I'm so glad he's okay!

I'm glad he's ok & uncle is doing better. Ack.
So many random road closures today. I'm not getting in my car again today!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Robots are very persistent.

Apparently! I should just block him, but I'm morbidly curious.

Lisah, good news for your uncle. I'm glad you Dad made it through the accident ok and I feel you on kinda hoping they take his license. I don't want to be one of "those" drivers when I am older but I also treasure my independence and can't currently imagine making that choice for myself.
Jesse, why discriminate against a robot. Talk him up big time and see what happens.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
(((lisah))) That's a tough nut to crack.
Weirdly fascinated by the date-bot. Any signs of self-awareness in the monologue?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So, Emmett is 21 today.
I'm a little anxious because I know his friends are taking him out on a debauch tonight and that didn't work out so well for him at his HS Junior Prom.
In the last year and a half both Emmett and Matilda have both snapped into focus in a new way. Emmett is definitely becoming his adult self (instead of teenager).
And Matilda's pre-teen post-grade-school has come to the fore. Showing more strength and confidence in herself.
I always tell my kids that I'm lucky to be their father and I feel that way. Really love them. Really proud of them. Really enjoy their company.
