Cool!
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Thanks, Cass. I'm not used to deaths on this side of the family--it's been 20 years since the last one. This side does funerals and memorials. On Dad's side, well, we kind of had a wake for Gram, but it's all very haphazard and less than formal. Malcolm (stepgrandfather) was shoved in a closet until Gram died, at which point my parents dumped them both in a river, and lord knows where Dad's dad's cremains are. (They never picked them up. That was 50 years ago.)

Eh, I will see how it goes. I have episodes of House and a movie on my iPhone.
I need an iPhone. What type of service contract does one involve?(Good luck on sleep man)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm also sorry to hear about your aunt, Plei.

I was already on AT&T so I just added a data plan to my existing plan. I think it was $20 for the unlimited data and another $10 for 1500 SMS messages.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
"Neither unexpected, nor unwelcome." I've had to use that phrase myself, more than once. It doesn't make the loss any less. I'm sorry, Plei.
At his expressed wish, we've scattered StE's ashes in various places. Some still await their destinations. He never got to travel as much as he'd wanted to. It would make him happy to know he finally made it to more places in the world.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

That's awesome. My parents' friend Steve had a Viking-esque send off for his Dad, because that's what his Dad would have wanted.
I'm not nice or considerate like that. Also, the Atheist Canadian Wolves don't actually care what happens to their remains. After all, they'll be dead, so why should they care? (Their reasoning, not mine.)
ANYHOW.
My mother HATES diamonds. Can't stand them.
You guys don't want to know how inappropriately tempting LifeGem is a hundred years from now when it becomes necessary. It'd be like a posthumous punking!
Thankfully, I can just save the money and tell her that's what we should do.
