Ginger, I'm just glad it wasn't a tumah making your head hurt.
Man, I bet sometimes the only fun an Oncologist has is saying "It's not a TUMAH" and having everybody cheer.
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh. I thought only the LOLCat Oncologists said that.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I think I'm the only vegan in the world who wants my family to be less acommadating. My mom is trying to decide on a restaurant to go to for her birthday dinner, and is trying to find one with vegan options. I've told her that I can find something anywhere -- a salad, pasta, a few side dishes, whatever. But no, she says that she wants me to have something that I like, so for her birthday dinner, she's considering a bunch of places that she doesn't like as much, so that I'll have something I'll like. She's not listening when I say, "Just pick wherever you want to go, I'll be able to find something to eat."
And I know there will be a major guilt trip if I don't think that whatever I do end up eating is the greatest thing I've ever tasted. Because she put some much work into finding someplace that I'd like!

Do you know the name of someplace she likes? Get the name of a vegan dish x you can get there and tell her you hope she picks that place because you love their x so much!

Suggest places you know she'd like, but you could get something you'd like. And be darn enthusiastic and specific about them.

I don't really know the places that she likes. She usually picks somewhere different each year, someplace new that she wants to try.
She's also seriously overestimating how difficult it is to get vegan food. Just about everywhere, if there's not something actually vegan on the menu, then there's something where I can say "I'll have this, without the cheese" or whatever, and at pretty much all restaurants other than fast food, if there's actually nothing on the menu, I can ask the waiter, who will usually say "Oh, yeah, the chef has this dish he makes when vegans come in, it's not on the menu," or the waiter will talk to the chef and I'll get some pasta or something. I know that I'm not going to get something I love at every meal. I'm willing to have a plate of pasta with tomato sauce, or a big salad, or something like that. My mom just doesn't seem willing to watch me eat that.

Bleh. I'm feeling the beginnings of a panic attack. I thought I'd gotten these under control.
