Everybody has been super empathetic about my lack of sleep and leg pain, thank you.
TV Tropes edited out something I wrote again and it wasn't just a rephrasing like they did to my Insistent Terminology entry in Time Bandits. In that scene in Invasion of the Body Snatchers (the 50's one) when Miles and Becky are trying to get away by pretending to be already taken over by the pods and Becky screws up by screaming when a dog almost gets hit by a car, somebody at TV Tropes thought the dog actually did get hit by the car and edited out my "almost". That happens to be one of my favorite horror movies so I rented it from Netflix for Halloween. The 50's were such a weird time, you apparently couldn't even say "divorce" in a movie, the characters just say "Reno" and stare at eachother.
Looking forward to seeing J tomorrow. :)

Yeah - for married couples in film, each of the two had to have one foot on the floor while they were in a shared bed. That certainly wouldn't fly today!

Have fun with J today.

I remember watching I Love Lucy as a kid and thinking it was weird that they slept in different beds when they were married in real life!

Most long-time marries couples I know, including me, sleep in separate places. It's generally more comfortable for everyone concerned, and if the couples operate on different time schedules (DH is often up until midnight, I go to sleep at 9:00 pm. I get up at 3:15 am and he wakes at 7:00 am.) My parents slept in different rooms, and DH's parents also did as they grew older. I think it's really a matter of comfort.
