Have you set a date for the funeral yet?
No, I think we're deciding this afternoon.
eta: I'm driving up today, then probably back to Chicago and then back up before the funeral.
Angel: Will you just shut up for once?! Illyria: What? Angel: My God, the speechifying. Has it ever occurred to you that now might not be the best time for when-we-were-muck stories?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'd lean away from anything that involves tooth-pulling, because teeth are not replaceable, so if you lost one or two naturally, you'd still have some to fill the gaps
Yeah, I don't think she was seriously recommending it. Anyway, I like my overbite. Invisalign or GTFO!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Jesse, FWIW, my dentist said I'd have to have a tooth pulled to get my teeth straight. The Invisalign orthodontist said, pfft, no problem. All my teeth remain in my jaws and they are straight now. I was absolutely opposed to pulling healthy teeth. So if you haven't seen a dedicated Invisalign orthodontist yet, I'd suggest doing that before you make up your mind.
tommy, nobody in our old-fashioned town came to my mom's funeral in black, not even us. I think you're fine in a dark jacket.
I had never heard of Party Girl. I knew of Funny Girl, but I've never seen it. Princess Bride forms a certain amount of my vocabulary.

Our wings are not tired.
Also, I think if you have a nicer pair of trousers, you could get away with just buying a dark blazer to put over a dress shirt and tie.
Absolutely. I wouldn't get something you wouldn't wear again. I went shopping for something to wear for my dad's funeral and ended up with a yellow and gray dress. He would have liked it.

Oh yeah, she said they would be straight and all there, just not directly on top of each other. And I have to decide today if I'm putting a crapload of money into my FSA, hence all of the dithering. Without a timeline, I just wait until the decision pops into my head, which it usually does, eventually.

I have to stop watching/reading stuff about Michael Brown.
But I'll make this observation: I think Chief Wiggum is more competent than Ferguson's police chief.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm very sorry for your loss, Tommyrot.

Yeah, my twitter feed is full of angry skepticism.
I am going to pack, and then spend 3 hours driving, during which I will listen to podcasts about ancient history, which is less depressing than current events.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Agreed, Teppy. Wiggum looks like Commissioner Gordon by comparison.

It's just...5 days, and suddenly they pull a rabbit out of their hat and say he was a suspect in a robbery? (In different shoes, according to the photos from the convenience store.) Seriously, 1: why couldn't they have said this right away [not that shooting an unarmed suspect is how you deal with shoplifting], and 2: after 5 days, that was the best story they could come up with?
