A sad, constant bid for attention

Uber-wierd. My mom used to live right down the block from his grandfather, Arnie Morton, who founded Morton's steak house.

when Penske had me over for dinner he served Mouton Cadet- $7 a bottle- it really foreshadowed the quality of food he served too.

Six degrees of separation! My SIL went to school with his step-sister, Domino Harvey.

That was his father's first marriage, I think. He then married Harry's mother (with an uber-WASP name) from CT. (oy!) I think they're divorced now, too.

I don't mind Mouton-Cadet. It's not exactly a wine to brag about, but it's perfectly serviceable. Perhaps he was saying something about the company?

Much as I can't stand Owens, I find this incredibly sad.

What do you find sad?

That he tried to kill himself? Or that I hope that it keeps him from playing?

I find it sad. I find it sad that he's so fucked up.

No food or drink will be consumed after midnight though, in preparation for the surgery tomorrow.

FWIW, I find this incredibly sad.

Golly, I interpreted your post to mean that you hoped he wouldn't try to play because it's much more important that he take care of himself, and because no job is worth endangering his health.

I find it sad when people want to be dead. Generally. Unless, like, they are in incredible pain with cancer or something that is going to kill them pretty soon anyway, and they just want that pain to end. But really, I think more in that situation, they might not want to be dead per se, but might prefer to trade off a shorter life for more painkillers. And not that everyone in such a situation does or even should want to be dead.

So, I think in this Terrell guy's case, it's very sad. Because it does not appear that he has some problem that will kill him unless he or someone else helps with the killing part.

What was not sad was your recommendation of the Eatery for mac and cheese. I did not allow myself to be tempted by the "awesome" drink specials or the "awesome" dinner specials and went straight for the mac and jack. It did not disappoint. It was awesome!

I am finding it hard to stop eating. I'm hungry all the time. I'm going to balloon into that fat kid on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Yay!! I am very pleased.

Of course I now want to eat some.

The former. The latter is perfectly understandable.

If you're lucky, though, you could work from home and wear a muumuu.

And bathe yourself with a rag on a stick.
