Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Steph, you do the Viking funeral, with the little paper boats, right? We have to remember when it comes around to honor Connie.

I really, really appreciate all the little things you do like that, to keep us all connected.

Yes, thank you David. The little things like the costume of the sewing kit make me happy and feel connected.

This is what finally made me cry. I am sitting here crying and cleaning and thinking of Connie and her great capacity for life beyond work.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I do, though I haven't gone in a couple of years now, because it's just gotten too hard, emotionally (between Tim and me, we've lost way too many family members in the past few years, and it just felt overwhelming to commemorate them all).

The event is in September, and I'll go next year to make her a lantern. I included her husband on a lantern one year, so it's sadly appropriate.

I don't want to make you go if it is hard! I just remembered her husband and the send off as a good thing.

I think it would be really fitting. I mean, if I can't do it when September rolls around, I won't. But I'd like to do it.

ETA. It is gone. Today I am planning on steam cleaning the furniture.

I can't even.

So sorry to hear the news about Connie via FB. We had that shared SCA experience we kinda bonded over. Like others, I was glad to see her enjoying life after all the struggles with her hubby's health. Thanks for posting, Java.

Awwww! A little monkey-grooming (as Nutty would say) goes a long way.

You talk to people every day for twenty years and you get to know a thing or two about them.

That is another reason I liked my therapist. I mentioned all you all as a support system and she didn't think I was nutty!

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I am so sad about Connie. I loved her no-bullshit ways and self aware fighting the shackles of her Puritan ancestors. I saw a little of my future self in her, in a world where IDGAF what people thought of me. She was a fighter and a realist and the world is a lessened by her passing. She did love that car, though.
