Fustration! How is this favored?!

[Goosebump]

I'm superstitious sometimes, I knock on wood literally now and again (no double entendre intended). You can get the shivers from things and still be atheist. 

Also with older people they grew up in a very different time. A time rife with allot of religion in the family, community, peer groups etc. Hard to work out all that indoctrination, even today.

I suppose I just really worry over him, and I'm not sure if it's the healthiest way of coping. I'm gonna go find a teddy bear and some apple juice.

It's allot healthier (in a physical sense) then many many many alternatives. Also you never know, a door might crack open and you'll have a good talk with him. Kinda likely since he'll live forever now with his bionic value. 

Enjoy the AJ, I prefer Japanese love pillows myself, but to each his own.
