Hah! It's a very good thing I have no trouble sleeping wherever. As long as I am not sitting up. Can't sleep in cars/airplanes, due to the sitting up thing.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Predation risk! Less REM and less deep sleep in novel environments. The theory is that people who get night terrors are extra sensitive to the cues of predation risk.
If we were like dolphins and only half of our brain went to sleep at a time it would be less of a problem.

Yay for dinner plans, omnis.
Is there any way to convince my mom that my vacation will not be ruined if I eat a salad? We keep having this same conversation. She asks me what I can eat at some restaurant. I reply, "Oh, they've got a really good salad." (And they do -- spinach with candied walnuts and onions and tomatoes and lots of other good stuff.) And she replies, "No, I want you to enjoy your vacation."
Honestly? As long as food that I do not have to pay for or clean up after appears in front of me, I will be happy.

Oh, Hil's mom. Salads are enjoyable summertime fare! I wish one of the restaurants in walking distance would reliably serve a good salad.

I'm not a big salad eater -- but that sounds good to me

I think that she thinks of salads as diet food, and therefore impossible to enjoy. I'm pretty sure that she won't think I'm happy until she sees me eating something deep-fried.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Ask the restaurant if they can deep-fry some of the spinach.

Oddly, a vaction where I eat healthy and very tasty -- adds to the experience. Granted sweet potato fries are always good

Go, omnis! You have obviously made a very good impression on GGG, as it should be.

Spinach isn't a food that happy people eat! Neither is, well, pretty much anything that I eat other than sweets and potato chips and fries, according to her.
Hmm. I wonder if "it fills me up and gives me energy to go swimming and kayaking and play frisbee and fly a kite, which does make me happy" will convince her of anything.
