Yay!
In other news, I'm trying to teach my dog NOT to carry food from his bowl onto the carpet and eat it there. He has a perfectly good laundry room with a tile floor and throw rug to eat on. He doesn't have to mess up the carpet.
I gave him a couple of pizza crusts and watched the laundry room door. He appeared almost instantly with a crust held in his mouth like a bone, so I chased him back. He took it on the throw rug and crunched it up.
I kept watching, and he appeared at the door again with nothing in his mouth. But I hadn't heard the other crust being crunched, so I kept an eye on him, suspicious. He walked to the middle of the carpet and sat down. We had a staredown for about half a minute before he kind of gagged and spit out an entire strip of crust. He'd been holding it in his mouth lengthwise down his snoot. I swear he was trying to hide it.
I didn't think he was that smart. Now I'm worried. What else is he up to?

Since you'd mentioned spirit animals and stuffed animals, I did a search of spirit animals (mostly to see what bears stood for, on account of my best friend as a kid, Mr Ted (no, I'm not suing Seth MacFarlane)... anywhoo, turns out my spirit animal is the Crow, and I can probably see dead people.. also, I should probably avoid getting married on Halloween (which will make my wife very happy).

I believe other directions are to "party on the left, party on the right".

I just gave up. :-)
Why do they do the messiest things on the carpet when the easy-to-clean wood or tile floor is mere inches away?
He actually takes his food, piece by piece, across the kitchen just to eat it on carpet.
It's wildly inefficient. :-)

Went out to eat tonight. First time in a while. Someone had given me a gift card from the place back around Veteran's Day for serving. Weird how random these military thank yous can be. It was $100 though, so it covered me, my daughter, and her boyfriend perfectly.
They had award-winning clam chowder. Speaking as a connoisseur of that dish, it was really good.

Sometimes I think I should get back into the dating scene. And then I realize that I can barely take care of myself and my own health, much less devote half my time and energy to another person. And that's why I keep replaying Mass Effect.
I don't have time for dating. Plus at this point in my life I don't have an awful lot of pull. I am more eye broccoli than eye candy. My finances are a shambles, and I am past the age of clubbing/hookups.
I am finding quite a peaceful time with my solitude though. It is nice not to be beholden to another's issues. I don't feel lonely, and with my schedule I don't even have time to play video games, or sometimes even watch TV.

I think it's a stage of life you reach after enough time in relationships. I think perhaps Dave is not there yet.
If I'm not there yet, I'm close. Every so often, I get a nagging feeling that I should get back to it, and then something happens that reminds myself why I stopped in the first place. Maybe once I get my life straightened out, but it's going to be a good long while until that happens.
