By the way, this was a number of years ago. My mother recently celebrated her 86th birthday.
Not nearly as lurid as you were imagining, right?
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

OMG!
your poor mother. the poor house. I had no idea that varicose veins could burst.
I just saw a movie about crime scene cleaners, called "Cleaner" with Samuel L. Jackson. The movie is not very good, but now I'm picturing Samuel L. Jackson cleaning your mother's house.

Varicose veins can burst. I was with my mother when the vascular surgeon came by to tell her what she SHOULD have done (sit down, elevate the place it's bleeding, put pressure on, call 911). We told him what she HAD done and he got this funny look on his face.

I learned there was such a thing as crime scene cleaners AFTER I cleaned up my FIL's house post his suicide. I swear, coroners should clue people in when they know there has been a bloody suicide. Geesh.

Suzi,
apparently the cops are supposed to clue you in.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Picked up some more socks and underwear at Target so I'll have more than enough to cover the 11 days of our trip.

I can imagine the blood, Todd, since after a few of my unfortunate incidents I found blood everywhere, and I'm talking about much less blood.
I didn't realize their were crime scene cleaners until I read an article about a local firm a few years ago. I thought that would be a great idea for a mystery, and now there are a couple of series featuring crime scene cleaners. I spend my life thinking, "Why didn't I write that?" The article included a graphic description of a clean up of a house the owner had just walked away from. Neighbors had called police because of the overwhelming odor, which turned out to be the food in the freezer in the garage. Anaerobic bacteria don't care how they smell.
