 	If she wanted me gone, she has a car and I am famous for not 
noticing cars bearing down on me.

 	I don't have the same health issues her bf did so what was bad for 
him might not be as bad for me and it really have been a pity to toss all 
that food out. Also, grieving people may not necessarily be as logical as 
other people and this happened days after he was found.

 	It was funny though: as I worked my way through the food, it began 
to have undesirable effects on me, from weight gain to bad breath.  I 
can't imagine trying to live on the stuff.
