For those pressed for time:
I will say this: despite all of the
sturm und drang of diabeticman's life, his problems pretty much boil down to one thing:
his wife wants a kitty cat. I have to admit that there is a certain simpleminded charm to that, although I suspect that the woman's life won't be
complete with a cat; a cat would simply allow her to move on to the next grave injustice or latent desire on her list. As for diabeticman, by now it seems clear that he feels powerless against the world and its pressures, which would explain the hangdog bearing of his posts. It probably doesn't help that the pressures of the world are personified, if not anthropomorphized, by his rotund wife. Not only does she actually exist, but she has subsumed HIS existence. In this manner, she is Galactus, consumer of worlds, and diabeticman is kind of her herald. Like Silver Surfer. Ginger Surfer.
Ginger Surfer: "My wife is coming. She will consume the energy of your existence. Plus whatever baked goods you have laying around."
