We're almost exactly the same age, right? Maybe 52 is just the age for bad teeth to completely collapse.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

We are!

Sounds right to me. Dang teeth.

I think I friended someone accidentally who was pretending to be my great-aunt. I mean, it would take her a while to get down to me, because of her age and where I stand in the family. But I'm pretty sure DHS isn't handing out money, either,

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Teeth, man. I saw a new dentist recently who said what I really needed was a two-part deep cleaning because my gums etc are so bad, so I've just finished that and now need to go back in three months. Annoying.
So I was like, wtf, and is this a scam, but then I remembered how both of my grandfathers had dentures in their 50s, and a recent conversation where a lot of people I know have periodontists and etc., so I guess this is the modern alternative?

It might get better. I went to the dentist last spring after mumble mumble years pre-pandemic. Cleaned. X-Ray. No issues and appointment in 6 months. Age 69. I was so relieved.

Thank you for the info on the service, David. Good to hear it will be available to watch. I really enjoyed what I have seen of this pastor. We will plan on being with you in the Spring for the memorial. Love you.

If I were there, I'd go. Even though I'd fit in better if she were laid out on the felt. Glad I got to say goodbye, though. Even if it was wrenching in that moment.

That's very sweet, and would be lovely to see you in the spring.

We could play The Pogues at her Memorial.

Oy. Matilda being Matilda sent me a flurry of emergency texts this afternoon. Two girls at her school who lived with their grandmother had lost their housing and would have no place to sleep tonight.
The shelter they looked at would separate them.
So...now they're staying in the garden apartment downstairs tonight. It is understood that this is a short term solution and something else will need to be done. But I certainly won't let teenagers sleep in the park. Jacqueline wouldn't either.

You're good people, David. No wonder an amazing gal like Jacqueline was so fond of you.
Hope that your local services will come up with something for those girls and their g'ma very soon.
