That's right it's Memorial day for you guys! Have a great one everyone! I'll think of your BBQ's while I lecture on binge-eating disorder (actually I AM lecturing on eating disorders tomorrow ).


LL, your posts are spooky to me sometimes. Only that you capture some of my lower undercurrents so vividly. I think the change in attribution you're giving a whirl (the new spin on things) is GREAT.

Now, seeing as how I share the old "sleepin' on the couch" issue (Not anywhere near as bad for the past while)...here are a few things CJ has said about that.

1st, true enough, for quite a while CJ has been sleeping on the couch (combination of reasons...sore back... his snoring...). Every night he falls alseep there with the T.V. on. Thus the very place and situation are primed for him to crash, it's like classical conditioning.

I swear, LL, all I have to do is wake him up (sometimes he gets miffed that he drifts off early like that) and go sit in our back room with the lazy boys and the lad can stay awake for hours!

Anything you can do with that?

How about instead of T.V. some kind of game? We like pictionary (we have our own rules for playing with two), Trivial Pursuit, Millionaire, whatever. We don't do it a lot, but I swear CJ's never fallen asleep during a game!

I can very much relate to the frustration, though, LL. It feels like abandonment. I used to find myself waiting for CJ to crash and then cruise the refrigerator. Oh, hell, I still do that sometimes .
