Natter 59: Dominate Your Face!
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Next week I'll discuss merging! (Subtitled, "If letting one car in front of you will make you late to work, maybe you should just get up 2 minutes earlier.")
I wax rhapsodical about people in Portland knowing how to MERGE. It's not a difficult concept and makes traffic flow so much easier. People, we are not asking you to do math or actually care about people other than yourself, this makes *your* life better if you'd just do it.
To make up for this brilliance, no one here knows how to use a four way stop if someone is turning left.
The traffic gods give with one hand and annoy the hell out of me with the other.
Yes, ita. It was filmed on the Universal lot where the premiere afterparty was. I'm not sure how you recognized it though. I was at the party and I never put two and two together.
I remember walking around the Mall with meara & co (Vortex, were you there?) at night and they kept breaking into song. It was rather hilarious. Couldn't be stopped.
Hah! I do not remember this, but it definitely sounds like something I would do. Um, what songs were we singing? Was this during the F2F, or some other event?
Oh, ND, I'm so sorry for your loss.
If I followed your "Beep Me" posts properly, it seemed like he wanted his passing away to happen at home, surrounded by you, his loved ones. It's good to know that at least he got that. And that you managed to be there.
Peace and love to you, and all the rest of your family.
I'm sorry to hear that, ND. I hope there was as least pain as possible and glad you got to see him.
Peace to you and your family.
Yes. It was very quick. He was miserable in the hospital and just wanted to come home. I really believe that he hung on until he could come home, and then he had the day with us all around his bed. He drifted in and out all day and knew we were all there. When he knew we were all ready to let him go, that's when he went.
So it does seem as if - considering how difficult the situation was in the first place - it was the most peaceful, living way to go. At home, with you (all of you, right?), knowing that he was with you. And in a way, on his own terms, the way he wanted it.
How is your mother doing? Are you all busy with running errands and the like, into the night, or will you be able to at least try to get some rest?
(If you don't have any energy for answering questions, please ignore me, OK?)
He died at just about 11 PM so it's pretty much the middle of the night. Everyone is up here. Mom is hanging in there, we'll see how she does over the next few weeks. On one level she's ready to go with him. They've been married for 49 years. Kristin should be pulling up shortly, she flew back in to LAX and then has been driving down here to San Diego.
49 years. Wow. I can't even imagine knowing somebody for that long, let alone be married to them.
It's good to read that Kristin will be there with you soon, middle of the night or not.
Will everybody stay there for the night? Do you already work out details of what-happens-now and what-has-to-be-done?
I'm not sure what's appropriate to ask and what's nosy and not-in-place and annoying. I'm sorry.
