Hil, you mom needs a better hobby than meddling in your life all the time.
Sorry, I know you love her, and that she overall means well. I just wish you could get some peace and support from her when you need it.
Sex with robots is more common than most people think.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Hil, you should really use your awesomely strong powers for good, and not waste them on family vacations. Tell her you have better places to be? Or ostentatiously eat a vegan protein bar at the seafood restaurant and tell the waiter your mother couldn't handle the thought of eating somewhere else for a single meal, and thereby shame her?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Do you have to have every meal together on vacation? Or can you and your sister go out one night alone?
Not that I should be giving advice at the moment because I just had a screaming match with my own mother.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don't have any coping advice, Hil, but I wish your mom would get over that.
I was sure when I made the appointment this morning that it was for today, but it's actually for next week. Oops. I figured that out after I got to Kaiser but before I tried to check in, so that's something I guess.

I don't think I can take week-long vacations where I don't have real plans anymore. I sit in my house and get lost inside my head and don't eat at regular intervals etc etc. It's not a good thing.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Thanks, everyone.
If I get too frustrated while on vacation, my sister and I (or my dad and I) can go find something to do, and somewhere to eat.

Herding cats for fun
I wonder, does Maine offer vegan Chinese and Indian food? Those could be annoying.

What is even happening?
Where in Maine, Hil?

I was just in the ladies room here at work, listening to someone in another stall fuss with wrappers and throwing things away and grumbling. A state of transcendent joy fell upon me, causing me to bless Menopause and my freedom from such things.
