I appreciate your efforts and thank you for your good intentions, sir. I do need some advice on a "rules" issue and on what is/isn't appropriate behavior so I will go first. So basically I "chilled" in bed with my depressed mother and my girlfriend freaked out about this. What do I do?
Here's the story:
I am 22 years old. My mother suffers from major depression. I study and work part-time, so I'm almost never home. Today I had a day off and I spent it around the house, cleaning and doing stuff. As I was doing this, I went to my mother's bedroom and saw her sleeping, with the tv on. I sat on the bed and woke her up, to ask her some stupid stuff I made up. Made some jokes and after that just chilled with her, which doesn't happen very often. We used to do this (my mom, dad and me) when I was a kid and this reminded me a lot of it. This was a chance for me, since we got to talk about how she feels and all that. That helped me understand why she is so depressed and all those things.
Girlfriend calls me. I tell her about this and she freaks out. She thinks it's "sick" that I spent time with my mother "in her room" and "on her bed". I mean, I get that imagining such a thing could be weird, but it actually wasn't. It actually was pretty sweet and it just felt like when I was a kid and she was happy. Now she doesn't want to talk to me. She thinks I have some kind of issue and s***. I explained this to her the way I just did here and I don't see anything wrong with what I did.
On an unrelated note, if I play Talrand, sky summoner when I hit 4 mana, what are the exact odds of him surviving till the next phase? I have calculated them at roughly 0.00001%, but this can't be right, surely. seems to be, but there must be a loophole somewhere that allows him to survive a damn turn.
I'm both orderly and rational. I value control, information, and order. I love structure and hierarchy, and will actively use whatever power or knowledge I have to maintain it. At best, I am lawful and insightful; at worst, I am bureaucratic and tyrannical.

Play Talrand at 6 mana with a disperse in your hand. For just six mana, you get to lose a turn, draw out a removal spell and trade a disperse for a 2/2 token drake.
That is pure profit right there, brah!
Or you could run him with aura servants and a little indestructibility...

Could you help me out with this one?
Your girlfriend is wrong, you're okay here. Let her think about it. I am saying this given the reasonable assumption that you were both fully clothed, however.

It was really hot that day....
No seriously, we were clothed on ON TOP of the covers and on opposite sides of the bed. She has depression so I was just trying to cheer her up.

I usually do, but sometimes I want the guy out early you know. And he has yet to survive his awesome entrance music (sexy boy, of WWE Heartbreak kid fame).

Still arguing with the gf about this via text.
Wait, this is a true story? Wow, I thought we were joking here, that's a tough break man. You know you did nothing wrong, your mother knows you did nothing wrong, even I suspect this is the case. Give her time or use a decent analogy or similie to explain. Say it was like sitting on the couch, except there is no couch in your mothers room...

If your girlfriend isn't going to trust you about this, then how would she trust you in marriage? Everytime you two aren't together, she'll be thinking about you cheating on her, and she's not going to trust your word. Find a better girlfriend, one that does trust you (this is all assuming you're a trustable person, not that I'm saying or suggusting otherwise).

Oh, so completely off-topic posting is acceptable now? Cool, here's my story for the day:
So I'm a manager at a Hot Topic. It's really annoying to deal with teenagers who couldn't tell you Bauhaus from Blink-182, but hey, it pays good. A few months ago, we got in a huge - three dozen, in fact - shipment of vintage Smiths t-shirts. I don't know where they came from, probably some warehouse that our parent company bought for pennies on the dollar, but they're authentic 80s versions of the shirts. It's like a goldmine.
Needless to say, not a single one of them has been sold. Now, we have a policy that stuff that sits on the shelf for that long can be discounted literally as much as the manager feels like, because the only other option is "give them to the Salvation Army". So I could "buy" them all myself for ten dollars. Hell, I could just take them home and not pay anything and there's almost literally zero chance they'd even care. My husband and I are both big fans, but we also do lots of charity work.
Now, one of the things we do is teach English to Latino kids in our neighborhood (we live in the Bay Area). As you probably know, for some reason, Morrissey is really popular with Latino "rocker" teens in LA and the Bay Area. They'd love to have the shirts!
How many should I keep for us, and how many should we give to the kids? They're not poor (I mean, no more poor than us or our friends) so it's not like they need clothes. But neither do we.
I'm thinking keep one of each design for ourselves for personal use and give the rest away. I know I could sell any of them on eBay for $20 or more, but I just can't bring myself to do that, it seems crass.
Is it terrible for me to want to keep any of them? My husband and I both already own modern re-screens of old Smiths shirts, but as far as I've been able to find, these are designs that haven't been reprinted, so they're really unique, and in perfect condition, too.
