@ThanksCancer I’m writing this on behalf of my wife. Sam passed away Saturday morning, a couple of weeks after being in the hospice. I’d like to thank the community for being there for her - it means so much to her.
@CleverclogsNina@sigourneybeaver I’ve been to 4 funerals with celebrants &. they’ve all been poor. 1 messed up a funny story because she didn’t want to swear. 1 took the opportunity to push their own “you’re all going to hell for a non-religious service”. All 4 delivered the eulogy like a Q4 finance update.
@sigourneybeaver Expensive but worth every penny as Archie & Bertie will confirm. Insurance most expensive thing and rises every year without fail even though never claimed. This is apparently because they’re more likely to have issues. Suspect lobbing money in savings account would be better
@thatdunleavy Totally understandable. She thought everything is hunky dory with the bill because the rules would work in her family. Totally ignored fvckers who will happily guilt ill members of their family into an early grave to protect the inheritance.
@disappoptimism As a woman I’d say self respect is what’s stopping me. Also I understand KFC’s position on this fully. Don’t want anything putting the punters of their food!
@sigourneybeaver@TomasCorax@BradfemlyWalsh@lucy_la_la Just incorporate the pet names in a song with a really catchy tune that others can pick up quickly & join in a singalong & you’re good to go. Level 2 parenting achieved. Level one is, of course, spitting on a hanky to clean their face on the first day at uni/first proper job 😁
@sigourneybeaver They’re getting close to leaving home. It’s natural to feel this way, you’ve invested so much in them. You’re torn between sending them out into the big bad world/wanting them to stay close. Means you’re a very good, loving mum. It’s a bit like grief that suddenly whomps you
@sigourneybeaver@scrapegroat I used to regularly do the tree. Husband and I have neither the energy or desire to do it. Kids complained, we said “then you do it”. That last a full 1 year. Didn’t have one for 7-8 years. Only really start again because started doing mass family Christmas which includes 3 & 6yo
