Saffron ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Thanks, folks.
Much love and many hugs to you and your DH, Laura, and please tell him that I support him slowing down a little bit so we can all enjoy his presence in our lives for as long as possible.
Love and hugs to you too, JenP.
Trudy, I wish I could just wrap my arms around you for a while; I wrote obits for both my folks (and posted them here, actually) and yeah, there really aren't any words for it. Please let the people who love you take care of you for a little, eh?
I couldn’t speak at my mom’s memorial service. And she pre-wrote her obituary (she and Dad were very proactive with end of life stuff). My sister spoke, though.
Happy birthday, Karl!
There are few things more viscerally satisfying than turning off a couple of dozen job alerts. Farewell, Glassdoor! May I never darken your virtual doorway again.
Happy birthday to, probably my best audience. Among all the other great things that you are, Karl. Calli, here's hoping... My mom tells me that she expects to die after getting run over by a carload of clowns or something else funny/ ironic. "You can laugh if you want--I would, except I'd be dead."
For the first and probably last time in my life speaking in public was inconceivable.
This is absolutely no way I would have been able to make it through speaking at my Dad's memorial. I didn't even make it through my wedding vows without getting all choked up.
Happy birthday, Karl!
Trudy, I wish I could just wrap my arms around you for a while;IIRC, that's some world-class huggin'. Thank you, Karl.
what Trudy said. Trudy, I've told him I think he should host clinics...so many people kind of want to hug, but they are *so bad* at it--I watched the sisters from "Fleabag" try again last night and kind of had bad memories of my extended family from that. maybe it's supposed to be natural and instinctive, but it doesn't feel that way for everyone.
He could lead some sort of seminar.
totally.
Thanks again everyone. I went to work today because I am just in waiting mode until I pick up the death certificate tomorrow, but it was hard and I am tired! I saw my old boss Sue and when she hugged me it was the first time I cried. It makes sense because she was so much of a mentor to me professionally and personally and she is safe but it sucked to cry at work!
