lame

is when you only have face to face human interaction with only one person over the course of a day. and it's superficial type of interaction at that. and that person is extremely irritating most of the time. and you just want them to leave.

is when you talk to your dog more than is socially acceptable.

is when you eat crackers and spoonfuls of chocolate goo (fudge that didn't set properly) for supper because it's just too much work to make something decent for just yourself.
