My stepmom was saying, when I was there at Christmas, that she still has her mom's number in her phone. I don't know that I do but I have one email from her that inevitably makes me cry but I won't delete. Because it's a tangible thing.
I know I'm a bad poet, but I'm a good man. All I ask is that... is that you try to see me—

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I haven't erased my dad or my friend Paul from my phone/Outlook etc. I just can't.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I've tried to bookmark places that help your survivors deal with your online life afterwards but I always end up forgetting their name. Or they go out of business. Here's a 2009 Mashable article on various tools for various aspects of that: [link]
I was just thinking yesterday that I should give my mom my 1Password master password in a sealed envelope or something.

“Not dead yet!”
Heavens, I've been head down, so I've missed a lot, but wanted to poke my head in and send lots and lots of ~ma to Andi-- oodles even.
Also ~ma for erika's mom and for Laura's Brandy and meara's ear and anything/one else I may have missed.
Also, happy PixDesign day! Can't believe it's been a year, y'all!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I still have StE's number in my phone and his email address in my online address book. I don't have a voice message, though. Sometimes I think it would be nice to have. And sometimes I think I'm just being morbid.

Daniel, I'll be keeping you and Andi in my thoughts. Thanks for checking in. I've been worried about you two all day.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Bev - I don't think it's morbid. My grandmother kept the answering machine message in my grandfather's voice until she died. Sometimes, she would call me and say, "Call the house and I'll pretend I'm not here." so we could both hear his voice again.
I find myself wishing that I had recordings of her voice.

I wish I had the tapes of Gram reading to us when we were little.
When our friend B's dad died unexpectedly last year, we pulled a voicemail from his dad off the machine for him.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Sometimes -- this is embarrassing to admit -- when Tim leaves me a voicemail, especially one in which he says "I love you," I save it. Just in case.
Yeah, I know.
