Ah! I don't do so well with abbreviations.
I hope she recovers safely! My mom struggled with her diabetes and blood sugar too.
You know me, I can't resist a PCP joke. :-)

but grits taste like flavorless gruel that you'd feed a prisoner of war.I accept that they seem this way to you.
Oh, and if you say "but they're good with...X" it's X you like, not grits. Grits are an abomination onto corn.False.
I do not like to eat butter, yet it's very good with grits.
Similarly, I do not like to eat nothing but liquid cheese, but it's delicious on broccoli.
Some things just taste better with other things, instead of by themselves.
:)
Gotta agree, Tac. Lots of things taste like flavorless...blah, on their own. Pasta, rice, bread, and tofu come to mind. They're base foods, you have to add stuff to make them tasty.

Everyone has their "the holiday season is upon us, ergo I must watch this" film. Or set of films.

Nope, no, I definitely do not. I am robot inside.

All this talk of novels and romance have made me realize...I can't remember the last fantasy novel I read. I think it was the last WoT book.
...That makes me sad. EDIT: Because it's been that long, not because I was disappointed with Sanderson's endcap on the series.
Speaking of romance in fiction, I don't remember any in Joe Abercrombie's excellent and bloody First Law trilogy. It had a single sex scene, and it was the most [intentionally] unsexy sex scene I've ever read or seen on film. Everything is completely consensual, the characters are just...on totally different pages.

Have you considered closing your eyes again, and thinking of something relaxing.
Like Captain Yesterday's wife in this Thomas The Train T-shirt sized for a six year old.
That is an odd statement to see first thing.

Mom will not be getting out until Friday at earliest. They want to examine the area in her lung where the cancer was and do another biopsy. I am going to be spending most of Thursday in the hospital with her.

That was my first thought too. maybe he has some sort of weird sleeping disorder like narcolepsy.. sexolepsy if you will.

Sexolepsy would be a terrible thing to have.

I'm sitting in bed with a beagle laying next to me, a cup of coffee, a thick stack of Pathfinder books within arm's reach, and nowhere I presently have to be.
This is the life.

Man do I hate Thanksgiving Day.family woes?
Not really, just don't want to spend $100+ for food for one day because my ancestors murdered and oppressed the indigenous people.
Edit: Whatever, I'll go out and fight the old people at the 24 hour megagrocery store today for the wife but tomorrow I'm not doing or making anything until I have to work.

My ancestors didn't do s%*@ to the natives. My dad's family came from Canada by way of Ireland about three generations ago, and my mom just got off the boat in the 70s.
I just like turkey, and after eight years of vegetarianism thrown out the window when I got divorced, I'm going to eat me some bird.

I also hate turkey.
Maybe because I had to help dad with butchering the turkeys.

I always get ham on thanksgiving. Not a big turkey fan myself either.

For my family, it's an unbreakable date to be together, eat, and celebrate the fact that we're all still speaking to one another.
And it's the one holiday we ALWAYS get to go to MY mom's house (because my mother-in-law can't cook worth a damn... she thinks turkey bakes for 24 hours at 185... seriously... and you don't EVEN want me to get into the this-is-in-direct-violation-of-the-Geneva-convention tortures she inflicts on her guests under the misleading names of "stuffing" and "pecan pie".)
It's like mini-Christmas, without the stress of shopping for gifts or singing myself hoarse with extra choir rehearsals.

I hate turkey too. That's why I eat them. To punish them for being so turkeyish.

I used to have a student whose parents were the type of urbanites who had backyard chickens because it's a trendy hobby.
She came to school one day in October and said, "We got two turkeys, but one is already Daddy's buddy, so for Thanksgiving we're going to eat the one that's not Daddy's buddy."
The Monday after Thanksgiving...
Me: "So did you eat the turkey that's not Daddy's buddy?"
She looked at me with the despairing-of-adult-hopelessness look that only a four-year-old girl can give, and said, "No, we had to buy one, because Daddy decided they're both Daddy's buddies."

My family has put names to the Black Hereford/Angus cattle they own, on occasion -- and we call them by name even when on the plate. "_______ was a good cow, and a better dinner."

I treasure animals and believe them to be super important - but not more important than humans. Not even equal. It's a weird position for someone who was a vegetarian for so long to have, and even a vegan for a couple years, but...it's like my position on large corporate chains.
If the little store can even come close to Walmart's prices, I'm going to avoid that horrid mega-store (g&$~+!nit I hate walking in that place), but if it's literally twice the savings, well, sorry mom and pop, but I got bills to pay.
Similarly, if I can get nice clothes without leather, I will, but damnit, some jobs require leather. And turkey is without a doubt the most delicious of fowl.
And they're mean f+&!ing bastards if you've ever met one in person. I kind of delight in knowing they're getting their just deserts. Just before I get mine. Pecan motherf#%$ing pie, b%+@@es.

On another subject, I almost named my ferret "Wingman", because he has a 100% swoon rate with women who meet him. Seriously, he's garnered more "awwww"s than an amalgamation of a cute baby, a puppy, and a diamond ring. He is, quite literally, the cutest creature on this planet.
He's an unusual color. He's not sable, he's not red, he's not black, and he's not albino. He's kinda...sable-ish, but with a white undercoat, and red eyes. It looks like someone with white hair dyed it light brown and then it grew out. I think maybe one of his parents was an albino. He's also f#+!ing HUGE. When he stretches out he's 3/4 the size of my entire arm, fingertip to shoulder.
He's super friendly, and enjoys nuzzling in breasts, because he clearly is my pet and learned well from daddy.

I do think animals should live in luxury before we ask them over for dinner. Yes, I think it should be animal version of Logan's Run.

A simple choice it was.
The kids can go with to the megagrocery store.
Or stay home, and Crookshanks gets to babysit, and get paid money, but she can't use her phone, at all.
20 minutes later and she's still undecided.
