there is a flavor that's common to every protein bar I've ever eaten, and it's starting to come to my awareness that not everyone can taste it.
do you know what I'm talking about?

Many have suggested sugar alcohols or other fake sweeteners. I'm pretty intimately familiar with how those taste, and yeah lots of protein bars have them but that's not the one I'm talking about. it's a kind of gritty/chalky flavor that's has hints of texture but isn't actually

willow got some diabetic peanut butter cups that were high protein.
they were *fine* but they had the protein bar flavor. she had no idea what I was talking about, they just taste like peanut butter cups to her

You're offered $50,000 but if you accept it, the person you hate most in the entire world gets $100,000. Are you taking it?

I have a question, mostly for women.
if a guy you don't know says "I just wanted to tell you that I love your outfit" then goes on with his day, is that a positive interaction for you or would it creep you out?

the way people think about risk is so weird to me.

you have a magic box. 1ft cubed. indestructible
if you place an object inside, a duplicate of that object will fall out of the box every second indefinitely
if you remove an object you'll never be able to put the "same" object in again

so we find out he's been given a "full psych eval" and they sent him that morning to the century center (convention center downtown south bend) to stay warm till the shelter opened. they ask very annoyed why he didn't stay there? he says he doesn't know, he's confused

at the emergency room, they are clearly not happy to be seeing him. "sir, do you need to see a doctor?"
"yes, I'm not feeling well" he responds. he knows the script I guess
as we walk away from the desk I overhear an exasperated "they drove him all the way back here?"

at this point I'm feeling like we got roped up in something way bigger than we intended, but once you take responsibility, you don't ditch it.
Glenda wants to know what happens, so she drives there with us.
he smokes another cigarette on the way

in an old spellbook you find an incantation
when spoken, it conjures a healthy newborn infant who is genetically yours + one other human of your choosing.
do you use it? how many times in your lifetime? do you share it with others?

Glenda is pretty suspicious that he passed a "full eval" and gives the nurse some sass.
while we wait for him to be called back she talks about our baby on the way. says she has 5 kids and 21 (!) grandkids. says she loves her grandkids more than anything
2

199
looking back, I kind of wish we'd have left him there? force them to actually help him? I suspect they figured they could pawn him off on us.
as she walked away Glenda said loudly enough to hear, that the social worker had a "nasty attitude"
3

so we just got out of an ultrasound appointment, about to stop and get some groceries. we see a man with a sign who looks super cold, but were on the wrong side of the street. decide to drive over to him after we shop.

he tells us he's "bipolar schizophrenic" and doesn't have his meds, and keeps mentioning seeing crimes happen around us (that aren't real, for the record)
he forgets where we are going multiple times on the drive

and then Glenda, bless her heart, gives this social worker a piece of her mind.
like, seriously, why is this man out in the street with no clothes?
"oh, he has clothes" says the social worker. and when Glenda finds them in his bag, she mentions "I wouldn't touch them though"
2
1
183
but we couldn't find him
my hope is that Glenda realized the Century Center wouldn't work, and took him back and they let him in a little early. but we eventually gave up.
I have no idea where he is or if he's warm. I hope he didn't wait for us somewhere we didn't see

eventually a social worker comes out. says there is nothing wrong with him, that all he had to do was stay in the convention center and then go two blocks down to the homeless shelter.
first of all, I point out that it's way more than two blocks
2

171
when we get back, he's put the sign away, hands and face super red, barely responsive. he realizes I'm handing him a $5 and willow's driving mittens. thanks me but asks for help getting them on
at this point I notice his hands aren't working, fingers gnarled and stiff

when we get back to him, he's talking to a woman who's pushing his wheelchair. we park in the burger king lot and I hop out to hand them the bag.
the woman, Glenda, doesn't know him, asks if I can help him get to the homeless shelter down the street.
I'd be an ass to say no

so we took him to the bathroom and offered to help him change. he said he could do it.
so Glenda and I talked more while he got dressed. about how she wouldn't sleep tonight thinking about all the people she saw pointing at him but not helping.

so as I'm trying to get these gloves on him he asks if I'd get him some cigarettes. hasn't had one in two days
I don't really want to say yes, but I realize the gloves are too small as well, so okay, I'll run to the gas station and get him some bigger gloves and a pack of cigs

okay... that doesn't really seem right, but the shelter probably knows better than we do, and the hospital is just down the street.
he china in that he's not allowed at that hospital and needs to go to the one in Mishawaka (30 minute drive)
sigh... okay, we'll take him

lots of people criticizing me for this thread for various reasons, and I just...

she points out he's in a hospital gown, and the coat he has over it won't zip up. dangerous in 30 degree weather and freezing rain.
she asks if I'm from around here and if I know where the shelter is. I tell her to tell willow, and she just says to follow her.

his clothes are absolutely rank. he's clearly soiled himself in them. and In the hospital clothes he's wearing.
the *best* she can do for us is a new change of paper gown and hospital briefs. won't be admitting him. we should take him back to the century center
1

Shelter says he should go to the library where it's warm, and Glenda rightly complains that he's in a wheelchair and has no clothes, is it really a good idea for him to travel 10 city blocks in the dark?
okay, then take him back to the hospital, they say.

as we pull up to the shelter he's asking for another one.
I say we're here, let's get you checked in.
he says they won't let him In till 7:30 (it's 4:30 right now)
we are annoyed he's just now telling us this, and Glenda goes and talks to them and they confirm

willow reminded me today that once when baby was like 1mo my mom hid with the crying baby and said "don't cry, you have nothing to cry about because you are going to heaven with me and Papa and not hell like your mom and dad"

I forgot to mention Glenda's granddaughter is in her car and super annoyed about all this.
anyways, the plan is for Glenda to take him to the Century Center, and we will go run an errand and take him to the shelter at 7:30
we make him promise to stay there.

Mom has been watching our dogs, and her phone isn't working, and we are hours late at this point.
so we pop our heads in, tell her briefly what's going on. she gives us one of dad's old coats.
and we rush to the Center

Glenda gives willow a hug and whispers a deeply heartfelt "thank you" in her ear. then she asks willow for permission to give me a hug.
as we drive away we kick ourselves for not getting her contact info in case anything goes wrong.
we grab a sandwich on the way to Mom's

we get there at 7. and the doors are locked. they are closed!
he's not in the lobby of either attached hotel. he's not at the burger king
we drive in a search pattern, and see lots of people making their way down the roads to the shelter (roads, because sidewalks aren't plowed)

so we get him in the car and follow her. he asks about willow's purple hair and our relationship status and asks if it's okay for him to smoke one of the cigarettes, since the shelter won't let him

the weird thing to me is that willow seems to be unable to taste it, which I'm thinking is why she can eat so many of the damn things
i fully believe that "health food" is often deliberately designed to taste worse in dumb ways to make us think it's healthier

so I mentioned this to someone at VC, but one of the weirdest hacks for releasing the cringe from my self-concept has been just tweeting every memory I compulsively cringe over. they almost immediately lose their power
once when I was small I wrote "form Aaron" instead of "from Aaron" on a thank-you card to an aunt
I got yelled at for "wasting" the card. still feel kinda ashamed about that.
