No worries, vw.

Who knew Kevin Costner had a band? It looks like he's coming to Dallas. I like his movies. They are playing a song of his. It's a bit country, but not bad. Who knew? [link]

Question: is it insanely slow timing that the memorial service for my uncle (with no casket or ashes) is on Wednesday the 10th? He died on Tuesday night. So it's a week, basically. Throw a holiday in there as well.
Everyone I'm talking to is like, OMG, why so long????
Any thoughts?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
(((Norah)))
So, I wasn't here, because I'm still in Scotland. Hoping that none of my friends are among the dead or injured. Which sounds - hell, IS - terribly selfish.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
That seems like a long time to me, Nora, but coming from a Jewish family my perspective may be a little skewed.

From a Catholic perspective that seems insanely long to me, Nora. I'm used to a wake maybe two days later and a funeral the day after that.

But a memorial service is a bit different. When my Aunt passed away, they waited over a month for it. So the folks they wanted to attend could attend.

“Not dead yet!”
So, I wasn't here, because I'm still in Scotland.
I thought of you immediately when I read the story earlier, Fay, and I'm beyond grateful you weren't there. And my second thought was with yours as well, in hoping that none of your friends were among the victims. Regardless, however, it's terrible.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Oh Fay, good to know. Actually, I never heard about the nightclub hit - almost nothing pass through the "more rockets/bombings" media cover.
You know, I think that what really scares me about this, more than everything, is that my failing leadership has no strategy. They basically have a big meeting every morning )or more) and they decide what to do according to what happened the day/few hours before, coming from their POV of "they will surrender".
No, dummies. You can kill and destroy people and buildings, but you can never do that to an idea. And I still didn't hear about one demonstration to end violence on both sides, which really makes me sad. Everyone takes a stand. They're basically saying violence is necessary. And I can take a hell lot of bombing - if I knew there was no other way. But you can't have a routine without a fucking long term strategy. Otherwise, it's just survival, and my country then takes not only a double standard, but a kaleidoscopic standard.
< /uselessly crying out loud>
Anyway, glad you're safe, Fay.
Nora - for a funeral, yes. For a memorial service - not necessarily. I think I know about 3-4 Christian/atheist families who also waited a month to have the memorial.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I need a catharsis or two. TV, here I come.
