Dang, now I want sous vide salmon AND chess pie.
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
just my issues.
Yeah, that was disturbing. Not in a gross pig way, but still verydisturbing.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ok, I'm hungry.
Apparently, chess pie overrides man-eating pigs in my suggestible brain.
Also, huh, you know now that I'm on a phone keyboard and there is some sort of non alpha character for every alpha key, I could totally fake symbol cuss, but have it actually be the same symbols every time, like the world's easiest cypher cussing.
So fuck would be [*_ and damn would be ¥€'". And othe droid3 users could read it.

That sous vide salmon recipe actually makes sense to me. I could be in trouble.

FWIW, I've got a will made through LegalZoom, though obviously it hasn't had to stand the actual test of being used by my heirs. I'll get back to you when that happens.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
My mother still resolutely refuses to even consider making a will. She's 87 and seems to think that actually making arrangements will make her die sooner. She also refuses to attend funerals and even opposes my sister and I going; when my uncle died a few years ago she wouldn't tell us until after a funeral. And she got a call about a week ago that we think might have been the news that my aunt died, but between her deafness, deteriorating mental facilities, and death phobia, we can't tell.

I think my sister wrote me out of her will because she wanted to put my name on the deed of her house, and I didn't want her to.

Ann, that's a ferret.
One other thing to add on the discussion of wills: The whole topic is governed by state law. Which means that a will is not a "one size fits all" affair. My will has to satisfy legal requirements in VA, and that may or may not satisfy the requirements of your state. And the laws related to wills have all sorts of complications because they're the result of hundreds of years of legal developments and reflect (to at least some extent) concepts of property that died out hundreds of years ago.
In other words, Connie, I know you were joking -- but DON'T write your will on a McDonald's napkin. Writing a valid will is not a job for amateurs.
Again, disclaimer on Web sites like legalzoom. I've never gone there, so I don't know how good they are.

but DON'T write your will on a McDonald's napkin.
Darn it.
So the days of discovering the hand-written will in the dresser drawer, witnessed only by the servants, and throwing the whole inheritance into a tizzy are over?
