I thought the "context of the thought" should be obvious. "Mom" is a perfectly good answer. Maybe those who are looking oddly should be looked at oddly. You seem to imply that all thoughts about women are other than <ahem> platonic. "gf's mom" - now that's funny!

Working in hospitals lends to a new love around every turn. Whoever came up with white unis was brilliant. Almost as good a view at the airports. |

Now that's a weird question... Penny [the mom] is female, and Raistlin and Mister [The Bumbacat] are both male.

On second thought, I think I will close this thread. Below is a message I've been posting to several similar threads that I've closed tonight. Obviously, as this thread points out, I also enjoy participating in these "instant answer" or "what are you doing/thinking/eating/drinking" types of threads from time to time, and have even started some of them myself. But I also think that at some point, they run their course and ought to be cut off. Again, as I've stated below, you may not all agree, but I hope you can at least understand where I'm coming from.
...
I've been watching the member's lounge degenerate into a series of meaningless drivel threads that nobody reads. They just post in them. So I'm closing a bunch of them. Don't worry, you won't lose all of the posts that you've made in these sorts of threads. I wouldn't be that mean right before Christmas.
Please note, as well, that this is just my decision as an individual member/moderator who still likes being a member first and moderator second. It doesn't reflect the collective judgment of all (or any of the other) moderators, nor does it suggest that there will be any sort of "policy" or "rule" about these sorts of threads. It is, instead, just the way I feel about these threads which (of late) have really become noise pollution.
My fear is that if we allow the idle chit chat purposeless threads to proliferate we will be doing a disservice to our membership by dummying down the excellent content that this site has to offer. On the one hand, such threads do no harm, at least not individually. On the other hand, they cause (in my view and in the view of many other members based on the comments I've been reading of late) a general degradation of the overall quality of the site. We really don't want Head-Fi to become all fluff, or at least I don't want that result.
Sue me if you think I'm wrong, and my apologies (sincerely) to those who enjoy posting in these kinds of threads from time to time and find them to be both harmless and entertaining. All I'm trying to do at this precise moment is to sort of rein them in a bit. There is no reason to make more out of this than what I've suggested here. It's an individual decision made by a member/moderator that I hope you'll agree is being done with the interest of the site in mind.
Again, I don't want to be the Grinch, but at the same time I'd like to see the member's lounge start to regain its vigor again and these sorts of threads, in my opinion, are holding it back.
The "What are you listening to now..." thread and others that are more audio related are fine. I just don't think that people really care about what you're eating now, where you spent your last dollar, or when you had your last bowel movement.
