Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Do lots of kids that age have their own phones?
Emmett did from around the time he was 10. But I needed it to coordinate picking him up in the East Bay and also he stopped going to after care around 4th grade so I wanted a way to keep in touch with him.
Oh, msbelle, I'm sorry.
Mac! Consequences! Yikes.
I'm sad about Ray Bradbury--last of the original Grand Masters--but he had a good run. (But let us ignore what he said about Fahrenheit 451 in his later years...)
Gnargh.
Google is just confusing me. I read recently a quote about you dying three deaths: first when you stop breathing, second something something, third the last time someone says your name. Google isn't helping me find a source, and in fact is introducing a version where it's two deaths. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Is it a "real" quote, or something that just gets bounced around the internet by emo 13 year olds?

Dunno about the veracity of the quote, but from that progression I'd bet that the second one is when the last person who personally knew you passes away.
ETA: Just as well I didn't bet my life...
Okay, that's weird. I did a quick google with his name and some of the words of the quote, and the first two I clicked on have the same typo as your link, flea.
I mean, "graved" is a typo, right? Or are my meds getting the better of me.
And, Matt, I wouldn't be surprised if I'd seen that too. It seems pretty consistently mangled.
I don't think "graved" is a typo. It's a real word.
I don't think you would say "consigned to the graved", though, right?
Oh, I had assumed it was an old quote.
Maybe he was affecting an olde timey vibe?
Yeah, "graved" means to dig or excavate, to carve or shape with a chisel, or "to clean and pay (sic) with pitch". I think in this usage, "graved" is a typo.
