New verse:

Still round the corner there may wait |

Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Bah!
Funny how when you use a multi window spam, even in order, the TCP delay will sometimes post them out of order.
That was bad. Not sneaky at all. 0 points for style but full marks for actually getting it.
Me?? I wasn't Sneeekin.
Obviously not.
Inevitable, sure... this time, you got lucky. I'll foil you next time.
Keep dreaming traitor!
I sure will, redshirt!
I saw that book mentioned the other day. I'm going to have to get it. What's funny, though, I'd never been to a Dead Spread, or even known that's what they were called, before we moved here to MA. I didn't even go into a funeral home until I was almost a teenager, and a friend's father died. Then I didn't go in again until my Daddy died over 10 yrs. later. We just hadn't had any deaths in the family. I do remember people coming over to our house, and bringing food, but there wasn't any sort of meal at the Church or anything. When Mama died, the Bereavement Committee had a full dinner for our family and friends. It was vey nice.
That's a good sign!
With both my parents being the youngest children in large families and me being the (next to) youngest of our first cousins, I started my funeral-in a long time ago.
When my dad died, I had to fly in from Michigan where I was on tour with a group from college. When I got home, probably around 8-9 at night. Women from the church were there and probably had been most of the day, cooking, cleaning, etc. They made sure no one forgot to eat.
I've seen my mom and aunts perform the same ritual for others.
When we lived in DC, the grandfather of a Korean friend of ours passed away (I think I've mentioned the Korean Catholic funeral). Mrs. baked a cake and they didn't know quite how to receive it.
It was not unlike that scene in MBFGW, but in a Korean kind of way...
Yeah.
Dad and I have been slowly patching things up and we get along pretty good. he emails me pretty frequently and keeps up with what's going on in our lives. It was my dad that gave me the freezer.
Truer words were never spoken when you said he was caught in the middle. But like it says in LOTR, he's in a cleft stick of his own making.
I told him when he left that he could always come back and I'd take care of him till the end of his days.
Oh great. Funeral flower arrangements at a wedding. Kinda sends the wrong message.
Well ok maybe not at my wedding...
It'd work okay if someone there speaks out with a good reason why the couple shouldn't get married.
It could be a shotgun weddin' that didn't go as planned.
Or maybe it did...
Hehehehe....funeral flowers standing by.
I am sure someone around here could loan you a shotgun if'n ya needed one...
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
