That is absolutely charming! Way to go, Dad.
That's my girl... That's my good girl.

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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Jilli, that is wonderful. It's making me smile, and I sure need it today.

I used to represent a Funeral Directors Association for workers comp issues and can say that that story doesn't surprise me a bit, Jilli. They are an interesting group of people! That is an awesome story.

Really, yes. It was just one of those days at work. Someone had to be restrained for a half hour or so. While these situations do not produce the same, lasting, emotional effects that witnessing actual abuse does, to pretend it doesn't take some time and effort to process would be foolish. Reading the news does not help; reading Jilli's news did.

One imagines that, like military intelligence personnel, funeral directors must have a very interesting sense of humor.

They have to. Plus, I've been to a couple of their conventions. They throw a kick-ass party. Really.

Anybody else have a sudden urge to crash a funeral directors' convention?

Our wings are not tired.
Way too much of my perception of funeral directors was gleaned from watching Six Feet Under.

The food is always good and the drinks flow freely!
They don't have nearly that many issues.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
A friend of mine (M) is a funeral director and he totally has a warped sense of humor. One of the reasons I like him.
I met him when another friend (R)started dating him. M was still an intern at a funeral home and lived in an apartment over the funeral home. And, because R and M are gay, we totally kidded with them for MONTHS that they were the real life Six Feet Under.
M is no longer an intern and they now live in a beautiful home they bought together.
