Cemetery can't find dad's grave

That's so upsetting--I can't even imagine. They put the wrong headstone on my father's grave. We knew precisely where it was, because it was on a corner, in the newest section of the cemetery, so it couldn't be anywhere else, but it was an awful feeling, and it seemed like forever until they corrected it.

Yeah, that would be awful.

My grandfather died in the mid 70s. He was buried right adfacent to one of his good friends, and going to the cemetery with my Nana and "Aunt" Ruby was a ritual when we visited. She died in the early 80s, but we still went through the town all the time on the way to Toronto and later Montreal, so we always stopped. It's a really special place to me. And then my mom died, and by some bizarre fluke that I still can't quite believe is real there was an open space right next to her parents.

When I go through Sarnia, which is not as often as I'd like these days, I usually try to go pick up lunch and go sit on a blanket or in the car and read a book for a few hours.

I'm disappointed that I only scored 69% Punk/Rebel (though my inner Punk/Rebel is apparently twelve). I'm also a little surprised that I scored almost 40% Prep/Jock/Cheerleader.

I didn't copy it, I came up 79% Punk/Rebel, with over 60 in goth and loner. Which is about right for high school me, if not anymore.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I've been stung I think 5 times by scorpions, once as a small child by a puss caterpillar, and then the aforementioned multiple yellowjackst. All awful, but the caterpillar sting resulted in a shot into it (which was on my neck) so that remains the worst.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

My worst sting was a bull-ant. Not a horror story, really, I've generally been pretty lucky in these matters.

Heh. ita, they just busted a guy on L&O because he pronounced the letter t like a t, instead of a d.

I've had a spider bite that was pretty bad (on the face, no less), but all I can remember being stung by are wasps. Those didn't hurt all that much, not really worse than a minor burn or stubbed toe. It did get a reaction other than my dad's usual "stop being a baby and whining about it" since it was something that could have put him in the ground, though.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

My worst sting was a regular bee. What made it the worst was where I was stung- under the eyebrow. Yep, my eye puffed up something fierce, and my mom tried to get me to wear an eye patch.(Which i did for a few dys, but decided it looked dumb and stopped. Hey, I was in 5th grade at the time...)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

and my mom tried to get me to wear an eye patch

Arrr!
