My family never treated birth costs as an issue. Death, on the other hand, is fair game. After insurance paid up for my father's final hospital visit, the bill came to $700 something. My sister put it on his Discover card. And then she cracked a joke about it.
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did I mention today was weird? Well, at least it's going to end soon. Sooner, if I actually stop poking around my referer logs and go to sleep.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You did.
You were right both times.

I poked around, and just bumped into this. What a completely stupid picture. I mean, do people who think she's pretty think that was a picture worth putting in GQ? Just because something might remind you of sex...that doesn't make it sexy.
I shoulda gone to bed instead. Let me fix that.

Our wings are not tired.
That is a stupid picture.
It rained all day yesterday and last night. Rain is a beautiful thing. May it rain all day today too. Still on Phase 3 restrictions though. But the plants are happy and the vehicles less dusty. Whee!

Accident prone people DO exist!
I woke up around 4 AM couldn't get back to sleep. I suppose creating a Flickr account and getting the garbage out (including the yard waste) counts as a good start to the day, yes?

Oh Laura -- that's good! I was beginning to worry about Florida burning up.

My father actually has a membership in a funeral discount club. Like CostCo for dead people.

I was dreaming about walking through the IKEA coffin section last night.
One of those dreams that you have to convince yourself didn't really happen. In retrospect, I'm surprised the real IKEA doesn't have a coffin line....

Well, they might want to look into it, given the recall story I just heard. (Glass in the pickled herring.)
