Update XIX: Melancholy and the Infinite Napping

[Mr. Morden]

I'm sure the Tribe will be able to pay to perform it for him by 2023 at the latest, if they start pooling their resources now.

Bushie told us that Native Americans were rich because of casino money, so money should be no object.

If that were really true, they wouldn't have made him wait like a year and a half for a dental appointment.

Exactly.

[Mr. Morden]

Please no canned veggies. They have no bulk and are loaded with salt. Completely defeats the purpose. Get a fresh broccoli crown. Boil for just about 1 minute.  Put some Mrs. Dash on it for flavor. Easiest thing in the world. Are you allowed to use the stove at grandma's or do the same rules apply as at home? Is she your mother's mother or your father's mother?

He never even used the stove at his apartment in Tulsa.  I doubt he's about to start now.

[Mr. Morden]

Thanksgiving and Christmas are connected and cannot be separated. 

In that case, what are your thoughts on non-Christians who celebrate Thanksgiving?

[Mr. Morden]

I am going to look at my lease contract and see if it says how much it would cost to break the lease early.  If it is reasonable, I will talk to Dad about it Wednesday night and we can come to a decision on this apartment.  The sooner I can break this lease, the sooner I can get my own apartment in Oklahoma City closer to work and regain my independence.

This is what I was suggesting you look into a month ago:

I just looked through the lease paperwork and I couldn't find anything mentioning voluntarily ending the lease early.

Why don't you actually talk to the landlord to see if there are any other options open to you on breaking the lease early?  This is what I suggested last month, and you said "I guess I could call up here next week and ask.  The offices are closed on weekends.", but you apparently never followed through.

Talk to the landlord? That's hilarious. Bushie undoubtedly lives in a large complex, owned by one mega company and managed by another. There will be a leasing agent, who can tell him that they will sue him for the remained of the rent due if he does not pay up.

Leasing agent, landlord, whoever.  If the demand is high, then why wouldn't they be OK with having a tenant pay a penalty to get out of the lease early, and then putting someone else in there immediately?  They'd make more $ that way.

Update XX: 8 bowls of cereal

[Mr. Morden]

15 straight gutterballs.  that is one heck of a metaphor.

Update XX: 15 straight gutterballs

Update XX: 8 bowls of cereal; 9 score at bowling; 15 straight gutter balls

[Mr. Morden]

The weekend is underway!!  He just came to us 5 minutes ago and said "Happy Thanksgiving, get out of here, see you on Monday!"

Jesus stopped by to wish you a happy Thanksgiving?

[Mr. Morden]

I had a very nice Thanksgiving Day.  Our family friend came over about 0915 and we played Skip Bo for a couple hours and then ate at 1230.  We didn't play any games this afternoon, but just sat around and visited and enjoyed each other's company.  Everyone has gone home for the evening and now I'm just enjoying my evening.  I will put up a little Christmas Tree in my room this evening and then put Grandma's up tomorrow.

What are you going to do for the rest of the day?  Watch football?

[Mr. Morden]

I know when I die, I will get the last laugh.

It'll be just like laughing about diabetes.

[Mr. Morden]

He gives us the ability and the grace to know that we know that we know where we will spend eternity.

[Mr. Morden]

I really need to lose weight.  I'm sure if I lost even 25-50 pounds, my back would feel better.  So, I am going to try to behave myself the rest of the year except for Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.  I know I'll feel better if I can get some of this weight off.

I need to eat more vegetables and I will do so.  Maybe not every single meal, but most meals.  As far as exercise, I need to make the time to do it.

You made those comments more than a week ago.  Since then (even leaving aside Thanksgiving as a "free day" from your diet) have your eating habits changed at all?  Are you eating any vegetables?  And have you done any exercise besides bowling?

[Mr. Morden]

So you said you were going to take a "day off" of dieting on Thanksgiving because it's a "holy day" and there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.

What is your excuse for eating a cheeseburger on Saturday, November 29?

He already explained that.  He needed bowling energy.

[Mr. Morden]

The secular Christmas music can wait until October. 

A motto to live by.

[Mr. Morden]

He's not working...

Since when?

[Mr. Morden]

If you're only living at your Tulsa apartment a couple of days a month, why don't you cancel your cable there so you have one less thing to pay for?  There's still plenty of sports on the broadcast networks.

I mean seriously, how much does that cable package cost per month?

[Mr. Morden]

Also, are you suggesting that God speaks to people directly? I'm always the first to condemn religion, but that's less religion than it is schizophrenia. Though those two maladies are, of course, also correlated.

In point of fact, God spoke directly to Bushie back in 2012, and told him to move to Kenya.  Here's Bushie's transcript of the exchange:

BRTD, I asked Bushie this very question back in October:

[Mr. Morden]

how much do the parents bushie pay each month for him:

$700 rent?  just a guess.  maybe more or less.
at least $150 for cable.
at least $200 for him to be able to go  out to eat.
another $200 or so to 'snowball' his bills.
at least another $100 for gas and other 'necessities.

where are they getting this money?  im guessing they took out some major loans to finance his life.

Since Bushie's currently employed, he's presumably covering a decent share of that himself.

[Mr. Morden]

Bushie hasn't given us an Update since Saturday. Any news from the facialbook? RIP Bushie?

Well, he claims to have given up on the thread (for now):

Alright, I've had enough, guys.  I'm done being treated like crap on this forum.

[Mr. Morden]

I doubt he sticks with it. Recording the details of every one of his naps is going to be a lot of work!

He should just post about each nap on Update, and then we could compile the list for him.

[Mr. Morden]

Since it would be untidy to post this question on ODF's facial book, do you ever communicate at all with Allison and has she forgiven you for dumping her twice?

I thought the second breakup was her dumping him?

[Mr. Morden]

I will miss London and the Azores Islands at 1800 and 1900 respectively as I will be en route to Tulsa...

How will you be able to live with yourself?
