that seems like bank to me too, Allyson.
'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Maybe he bought everything the ever wanted, for himself and his loved ones, plus he has 6 mil to pass on to wherever--what the hell do we know?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
There was a piece in Forbes that speculated to some sort of shitty disagreement between he and his wife about who would get guardianship of their daughter if they both died.
But I thought it was pretty neat, and didn't signal anything in particular other than a fair way to deal: If they both passed in an odd numbered year, his parents would have custody with hers as backup. Even numbered year, the reverse would happen.
It just seems that it was equally likely that they are saying, "either of these options are good, we're not playing favorites."
I really should have a will. Who would take care of Ruby?

How many people here also (or only, whichevs) use the word "home" to describe somewhere other than where you sleep most nights, where you pay rent or mortgage, where your bills come, where most of your clothes are, etc?

I'm pretty sure Ruby would be loved and cared for if you died, Allyson. But I still think it's better for everyone if you stay alive for as long as possible.

It is both where I grew up and where I live now, but in my case "home" is overdetermined.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I use "home" pretty cavalierly. Wherever I lay my head sort of thing. But also California in general, and New Orleans under certain circumstances. As well as where I pay my mortgage.

Exclusively, or ever? I use "home" to refer to my actual place of residence, my parents' house where I grew up, and if we're on vacation, wherever our current home base happens to be.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I say "home" all the fucking time, but I am a confused person. I call Indiana, Ohio, Kansas, and Arizona all home, and say I'm "going home" when headed to an of those locations. Of course, I also say "home" when I just mean the hotel or camp or other person's house where I'm staying for just a few days, so I clearly can't be trusted on this.
However, I am now home in my actual home and lying on my actual bed, and very grateful to be here I am indeed. The SO still has two more weeks of tour.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

This. I go home to my apartment after work. I go home (to KC) to visit family.
