I just have this mental picture of a bunch of Jilli's friends all dressed in long skirts and petticoats. And underneath they've got these bags of cremains that they'll float over the grass next to the Haunted Mansion pulling little strings in their pockets that release a packet of ash onto the ground. It will look like some fancy promenade, but it's really more a New Orleans style salute. Maybe playing some of the songs from Willy Wonka or something.
That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Sad news, Tep, but please don't feel guilty. Even just from your previous post about Chloe I thought it was probably time.
Hec, have you ever considered becoming a librarian/archivist? There are enough quirky collections of things - as you can demonstrated tonight - that I am sure there is one out there with your name on it. You have the right magpie mind for it, for sure.
I have not considered that route. I might could turn my magpie mind to couple with my writing to make something interesting, though. Hmmmm. Ponder ponder ponder.

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?
{{Steph}} I am so sorry. I know you loved Chloe.

Teppy, I'm so sorry about Chloe.

I found Liv's 5th birthday gift.
Hell yeah!
Her roller derby name? Liv Undletdie!

Tep, I'm sorry.
Tomorrow we go to the funeral home to arrange things. Mom's final wishes, which she randomly told Dad a few months ago? No ceremony or funeral; she wants to be cremated, and have us sneak her ashes into the flowerbeds around the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. No, she wasn't kidding.
Dude. That's AWESOME. Possibly cooler than a LifeGem.

You could definitely manage it like the trick in Shawshank Redemption where the guy smuggles out the dirt from his escape tunnel into the yard.

That was the same trick Pete was referring to with "The Great Escape." Same idea.
Though I wonder if the Mouse has special secret agents placed around the Haunted Mansion just to thwart perky goths.

Jesse, I just had one funded last week. I wonder if I could submit another in time before your deadline (January 30, right?). I think I could if I started now.... can you give me a few days?
