Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.
The Book = Midnight in the Garden of OMGWTFY'all?
Funerals are just odd. You are hanging in an interestig place
Yay, Scola hug!
Amych, yep.
At the funeral home, my grandpa was cracking jokes about winking at Pie and her too shy to wink back. Wee cousins were running around, keeping the mood from being too somber. Stoopid preacher kept calling her Marjorie - nobody called her that. Back at the house Grandpa put on Nat King Cole and started crying.
Ahh. Anyway. Enough vignettes. She loved and was loved and she will be missed.
I really appreciate all of your support.
i eta here's a representative pic of the cemetary. [link]
{{{smonster}}} it sounds like she had quite a sendoff, preacher aside. My love to you all.
Stoopid preacher kept calling her Marjorie - nobody called her that.
Stoopid priest called my Aunt Jean "Eugenia" fifteen years ago and its still vivid. For everyone.
The everyone, of course, is the important part. I'm glad you have your everyone.
Trudy is right, 'everyone' is the important part. Glad so many could get together.
That's a whole lot of Spanish moss, smonster. I haven't seen that much since my last visit to my grandmother's farm in Florida (more than 20 years ago). I'm glad you are doing ok. It's amazing how the little ones make things better, just by running around the way kids do. Many hugs for you.
At my dad's funeral, his mother's maiden name, Wang, was pronounced not like the Norwegian "vung" but like the way it looks. Despite the preacher being coached.
It, too is remembered.
Today's special edition of Wake Up With Hugh Laurie is actually Write Papers and/or Melt Your Brain With Stephen Fry
Genius! Loved it. Good accompaniment to paper-writing.
Calli, that sucks - I hope your ankle improves.
Still, I get what ND is saying, and I know that finding the registry is always important for me when I'm going to a wedding. What do you all think?
We're going to tell people exactly where they can find our gift list (which is a website-based thing we're doing ourselves, rather than a registry as such) - we think not mentioning where you can find them is just annoying! I think it's worth telling people where they can find these things, to save them stress.
smonster, sorry to hear about the name mix-up at the funeral, but it's good to hear it went OK otherwise.
