    Prude…

    Yesterday mom returned home. She still feels pretty puny, but is happy to be home where nothing is beeping, or poking, or screaming for its husband. I’m the full length of the condo away and I can hear her snoring away in her bedroom. A little rest, I’m sure, will go a long way. Still, I’ve extended my stay here - I was to leave tomorrow - for an untold number of days. Delta was pretty darn nice about it and waived the $75 change fee, and if I can find the right class of flight home there will be no extra charge. Of course flights to Florida in March can be hard to come by, but I’ll deal with that when I get to it. Hopefully I’ll be buzzing out of here by the end of next week.

    The ‘Karmic Question’ post fell flat on its face. Most of you centered on the actual item and not the act....I suspect that is because you wanted mom to be comfortable, and I appreciate that. Actually I was trying to figure out how much of a prude I really am. I was flabbergasted when she suggested just taking it, just as I was flabbergasted when D’s boss filled his doggy-bag with ramekins during a holiday dinner out. My first thought when I encounter something that I want is not “take it” its “I wonder where I can find one of those?”. I can see how small things...hospital pads...hotel towels...might be in a gray area for people. Especially as these business surely budget such losses into their expenses. But not for me...I cant hardly take a free mint as I leave a restaurant because I’m sure I’m missing the 5-cent sign. Evidently ‘prude’ should be my middle name - heh.
