I think one of the first things Chris said was "PBS dot com".
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Ooof. 8:00am. Was your grandfather Catholic? I tell Scott all the time, I think Roman Catholicism has it all over most of Protestantism, when it comes to ceremony (particularly funerals), but their funerals are too damned early.
Yeah, he was Catholic. The funeral Mass is actually at 11:00, which is a reasonable hour; it's just that the visitation/eulogy is immediately beforehand (9:00) -- and there's a private visitation for the family that's even before *that,* hence the 8:00 a.m. Grumble.
Do you know what scripture passage(s) you'll be reading, Tep?
Not yet. Caretaker!Aunt called me and we had the world's shortest funeral-planning conversation, as follows:
C!A: "Can you do a reading at Mass?"
Me: "Absolutely."
C!A: "Can you do more than one, if no one else is willing to do it?"
Me: "Yeah, no problem. What will --"
C!A: "Good! Okay, bye!"

For Dad, we had a piper play Amazing Grace as we left the church, and Danny Boy at the end of the internment at the grave. There were no dry eyes.
Just thinking about "Danny Boy" makes me tear up.
{{{Tep}}} and positive vibes headed your way

More vibes for {{{{{{{{{{Teppy}}}}}}}}}} funerals are so emotionally exhausting. Much ~ma to you.
I need to finish up some school work tonight. First class is almost done. Probably shouldn't have had wine with dinner.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
{{Teppy}} All the peace and coping~ma you need. Also? 8am is horribly, horribly wrong.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Peace~ma to you and your family, Steph.
Congrats on the apartment, P.-C.! I was going to say go for it!, but then it was too late and you already had.
Buffistas lead interesting lives.

It's way too early.
Not yet. Caretaker!Aunt called me and we had the world's shortest funeral-planning conversation, as follows:Heh. Well, that's good. No time for fighting. The priest may pick the passage you're reading.

Once again, glad I'm not Catholic.
I think I've told this story before, but my mom's funeral home (okay, that sounds weird, but I'm not sure how to say it) has an arrangement with a nature conservancy, and they plant a tree for each person during the year, then each year they have a memorial ceremony there. My sister and I drove seven or eight hours to go.
It was in September, misty and drizzling, and they had a piper on a pier on the other side of this small lake from where the ceremony was. It about broke us.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Family sure is tiring.
Yeah. And death is exhausting.
My dad will have Taps played at his funeral. That'll be tough on me. I learned how to play it on the harmonica when my Mom died and wore her dogtags.. (She was a WAF).
