Teppy, how are you and Tim doing today?
You're right. He's evil. But you should see him naked. I mean really!

[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.

Always Anti-fascist!
Maybe they are awkward. Still impolite, but they seem like the sort of people who wouldn't know what to say because she wasn't "actually" your MIL. But how hard is it to say "I'm sorry for your loss...that must be painful." I could do that. And believe me, with my sick sense of humor, I'm not really the first person you think of for funeral wisdom. Because it's heavy, and emotional, so, bang...Instant Wiseass. If not that I'm a lightweight drinking, I could be a long-lost Gavin.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Teppy, how are you and Tim doing today?
Not bad. I'm tired, but I don't have to get up for work tomorrow, so I can make it through today being tired. I'm sad; I feel like I lost my mother-in-law, even if she wasn't my official MiL.
Tim is doing okay. He's going in to work for half a day today, since this afternoon his dad and the boys need to meet with the parish bereavement committee to plan the funeral. The company he works for is owned by family, so they know what's going on, and wouldn't have any problem with him not coming to work today. But I think he wants the distraction. He gets weepy -- I asked him if I could take a picture of his mom to work today to show everyone, and he said, "That's a great idea," and then burst into tears. I figure that's par for the course. As far as grieving goes, it's a good, clean grief.

“Not dead yet!”
Jeebus, Tep, what utter tools your cow-irkers are.
And yeah, the tears they're good ones. He's a good one, your Tim.

Aims, she's gorgeous! She hardly looks like a newborn.

Believe me it is better that he is able to cry. Because my father's illness was so extensive I took care of him for so long, it took a week after he died before I could cry.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
um, remind us when it's closer?
Really. I mean, how else do you think I'll plan the route?
I'm excited that I'll see you people. And Halloween. But mostly you people.
