Breakfast and lunch and dinner? That's a lot of TV to endure.
Not to mention what the bedroom looks like. In 50 years the only time
I've eaten in bed was when I was in the hospital. If Louise is
feeling ill she may bring a glass of water for her nightstand, but
other than that, there is no food or drink in our bedroom. That's
just disgusting.
Why???? I put my dinner on a tray and take it to the
bedroom and sit in bed and eat and watch tv. Then I take
the tray back to the kitchen. There is no sign that there
has ever been any food in the bedroom. Maybe you're judging
this practice on what would happen if you did it. Perhaps
you're a slob and can't keep the food on the tray or in you
mouth and slop it all over the place. That is not the
case for me.

Exactly, Kate. When I lived alone, this is almost precisely what I did
every night during the week. Weekends I often went out to dinner.
At the time I had a formal dining room which I preferred not to eat in
alone, but only a very tiny dropleaf kitchen table which wasn't
particularly comfortable, and I sat at it, I was staring at the wall.
That as pre-PC, however, so now if I were living alone, I'd probably eat in
front of the computer. :-)
