Honey they were grieving too. They've known dad for at least 25 years and didn't even know he had died. I had to break that news to them as well. I'm upset that word did not get out to all the Masonic organizations. I was assured that it would. It is all made from suck and adds to the list of calls I need to make tomorrow.
Damn you, Bridget! Damn you to Hades! You broke my heart in a million pieces! You made me love you, and then you-- I SHAVED MY BEARD FOR YOU, DEVIL WOMAN!

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[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.

I know they were grieving. I know that it was upsetting. I just...there's no way you could have known that the word didn't get out as the others had promised it would. I'm just angry at the situation and upset that you had to take any flak for it at all.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Yeah, I think immediate family should have at least a 2 week period before someone gives them a "talking to," subtexty or not.
The idea of a memorial is to celebrate a person's life and grive their passing, and to support that person's family. It's too bad they weren't there for the formal memorial, but I would think that this would not supercede (should NOT supercede) their own informal memorial and any support they could wish to give to the fam.
I mean, aren't Masons all about the widow's son, anyway?
(Granted, all my Mason stuff comes from the Illuminatus trilogy, so it's awee bit skewed...or, who knows, maybe right on?)

We're just feeling protective of you, sweetheart. Please don't feel like you have to defend them. I know his words came from a place of grief.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
And now you never will, so there.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
ND, if you want me to go back and edit, I will -- I was piling on Kristin's a bit, and mostly coming from this:
immediate family should have at least a 2 week period before someone gives them a "talking to," subtexty or not.
kind of place. I do feel like you didn't need to catch the brunt of it, especially since I know those clubs have good communication channels that could be helping you rather than landing on you - but if it's hurting more than helping, I'll happily edit to make myself look crazy.

You should have...um, Mason family rollover minutes or something. For a year. Geesh. Like being on a parent's health insurance till you're 18.

It is just a lot of unfortunate. I need to call tomorrow and figure out where the ball got dropped.
