AFter seeing all this stuff, I'm thinking the CIA should stop trying to find Bin Laden and turn the job over to us.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
There's nowhere else we could have a community-wide discussion, and I think it needs to be a community-wide discussion. Look how quickly ten or fifteen different people have provided different kinds of information. No one wants this to be fake, but if it is, I think the greatest benefit is in finding out what we can as quickly as possible.

I don't think that family members would think to click on a thread whose slug is "Administrative discussions." Because if this is a real death, why would a non-Buffista think that there would be anything "administrative" about that?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
"Dad really loved it here. They really seem to love him. Let's poke around." seems a FAR FAR FAR more likely scenario than someone setting up a dummy address and a dummy checking account to do work for Brenda's company.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I agree with Teppy. I think I was delurked and posting for well over six months or more before I ever thought to look in Bureaucracy. I figured it was more for the stompies and such. Why I even started reading it I can't remember any more. So, yeah, I did start reading it, but it wasn't an intuitive "oh, this is something I should do" kind of thing.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
well, there are all different types of grieving, but I, for one, cannot imagine that poking around an internet site my relative/good friend frequented would be high on my list after they died. YGMV
