I'm sorry for the email, but I don't have your phone number. Are you with Lorna right now? She seems to have some kind of background with Manuel, and she's making cryptic comments about lack of appetite. I thought I'd mention it to you because when she gets in moods like this I become completely lacking in a sense of fair play.

Hey no it's okay. Yeah, I'm with her and well, I haven't looked at her comments so I don't know what she's said but yeah...she and Manuel's history isn't the happiest of subjects. And she's overusing coping mechanisms, if you know what mean.

Thanks man. I think I got it.

Thanks, I feel better knowing someone's there to spot her while she "copes". And if necessary hide the bottle. Think you could you give getting something in her stomach before she goes to bed a shot? You probably have the best chance of succeeding without losing a limb.

I'm on it, trying to make something simple and bland. Of course I'm only getting her to eat because she wants to drink and I've hidden the bottle until she does. Considering the situation, I can't say no to her wanting it back.

Believe me, it's not me with the success. The only person in the house she's not angry at is Lili and I'm using it to my advantage.

There's an idea. I wonder if there's a way to teach Lili to feed Lorna, or at least look at her pathetically until she breaks down and eats something.

But not the "spoon is an airplane" method. She really doesn't respond well to that one.

Have you met this little dog? She can make you do anything. Add the fact she's got Crush's big brown eyes behind her now and Lorna's got some guilt trip going on.

...I'm so afraid to ask dude.

Um. Let's just say that in the course of figuring out how to get Lorna to eat I did a lot of trial and error. Some moments weren't quite as proud as others.

Unfortunately not all of us have dogs.
