Stainless is not super easy to find. I was lucky to come across mine at CC's right away, I have not seen many others like it since.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My coworker's elderly mom is in the hospital and it's looking like this might be the end. I would really like to do something nice for this coworker, but I don't live anywhere near her and I wouldn't feel right going to see her at the hospital -- we're not that close. Does anyone have any good ideas? Is this an appropriate time to send flowers or a card, or would that be weird (or better saved for the funeral)?

Kate, can you send a food type gift to the house? Either from a local company or from some place like Harry and David.

Because books.
Or send her a Starbucks or Dunkin giftcard and a note asking if there's anything you can do to help out while she's away from school, since you don't leave near her?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Coffee or easy food gift cards are good. And, really, everyone wants to help around the funeral but the hardest time to remember to take care of yourself and eat or even just take ten minutes away and survive on coffee is before that, in my experience.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
What Consuela said, plus it was awesome to see Consuela.

She will also need support in the weeks after the funeral and memorial. There is some much activity around death but the really hard part for me came in the weeks and months after when things return to normal.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The train I'm on (a big double-decker diesel train) has been stopped for 20 minutes because someone is on top of it.
Seriously. We even heard the person running over the top of our car.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
tommy, are you sure you're not in an action movie? Maybe take cover!
I am back at work, and ugh! I would like more vacation.
