{{{Aimee}}} I hate it when people don't communicate
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Divorce and people dying both bad sucky things.
Pfft. It's been hard enough breaking (10 so far) cigs into tiny little bits.
When I quit I phased out 5 one day, 4 the next, etc. The last day I lit the same one last cigarette maybe 15 times. I am not cold turkey girl. But it worked.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
It's not just the lack of communication. It's the lack of consideration behind it. Ever since my grandfather died and my Uncle Bob got POA, he's been systematic ally going through her house and tossing shit or giving it away. He gave her tatting supplies - including the 19th century sterling silver shuttle from HER grandmother - to the freaking Ladies Aid, without asking ANYONE if they were interested. This is an art form that should be passed own. I never had the patience to learn when I was younger, but dammit, she taught me to embroider and cross-stitch and quilt. I wanted that shuttle. My mom says I should write the church and see if I can get it back, but I don't know that seems like, rude or something. But I don't want that to get lost. I want someone in our family to tat.

{{Aimee}} I'm sorry to hear about your Great-grandma. I will think smiting thoughts at your Uncle Bob. Stoopid head.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Ooooh. Asshattishness blows even more.
Things may need to get gone through, but if there's ever been a place for consideration...

{{{Aimee}}} I'm sorry, sweetie.

I'd write the letter. Nothing rude about it and it's important to you. Your reasons and heart will show in what you write.

What Nicole said, Aimee. I don't think they'd see it as rude at all, just concern for family traditions. I think they'd be happy to oblige with returning it.
