That's for you; in general, that would also be my
response. But for other people, let them do
whatever they want, just so it doesn't damage
anyone else. When I feel like a liberal, I'd add
"or oneself"; when a libertarian, [shrug].
That does tend to be the kicker, since damaging yourself tends to
directly affect friends and family.
There are those who are so tortured that
friends and family may be allowable collateral
damage, and there are those who
... had no friends, he seldom spoke
And no one in turn ever spoke to him,
'Cause he wasn't friendly and he didn't care
And he wasn't like them.
Oh, no! he was a most peculiar man.

We all have such issues, don't think
you're special because of it.
I have friends who are worse off. They however do not envy me the squirrels.
I have a brother who is likely worse off,
but it's hard to tell, because I'm not in
close touch with him. He says he got a
promotion at work, though.

Sanity is overrated.
Insanity is also overrated.
But I suppose fending someone off is different
from bumping them off.
Also somewhat more legal, depending on how you do it.
Not knowingly, but it does happen by accident.
Perhaps you don't have enough bumpers and fenders.
Physically I have plenty thanks. Mentally ... yeah well.
Ah, well.

Vegetarian Crustless Quiche
I'm trying to remember the last time I used a recipe for quiche. I
generally just start with a pile of shredded cheese, four eggs, and
some milk and work from there.
Heh, I reread that as "vegetarian clueless cuisine."
