I have heard of Edward 40 hands because I work at a college, but I have never seen it or actually heard if it being done for real. Theatre kids seem to tend toward drinking games which also involve stripping

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I said tl;dr out loud at work the other day.

I dreamed I was in the senior living center where my maternal grandparents spent their last years. But it had been converted into a mix of senior apartments/student housing. People seemed pretty ok with that. I was looking for Grandma, but couldn't find her. Possibly because she died in 1976.

Aw.
Oh-my mother realized she could wear the cute dress to a wedding in a couple of weeks, and got a black dress for the funeral. Phew!

Am I a freak for not having gotten a dress for my Mom's funeral?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Not if you already had something to wear that you thought was appropriate.
I was 18 when my dad died. I owned a black dress at the time, but it was more "little black dress" than funeral-appropriate. So I went shopping for something else and ended up with a navy suit dress.

not your mom's socks.
Catching up. Jesse, good luck to you and your mom finding a good care solution.
Sox, I read that whole thread and added my mite of opinion at the end. Sounds like the Worldcon is going to cancel the showing entirely, which I think is a shame, because it's clearly what they call a Teachable Moment.
I agree, but I think the delivery was so botched that any lessons would be tremendously hindered. I'm glad you commented.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Teppy, I hope the interview went well! Lots of job-ma.
Teammate needs surgery to essentially re-attach her ankle. She tore all the tendons and ligaments. I would describe that injury as "gruesome." This is the second broken ankle our league has suffered. We all know that it's not a matter of "if" but "when" we get injured--it's just hoped that the injury isn't too severe when it does happen.
Jesse, I hope you can find a good placement for your dad.

It's in an hour. I think I screwed up the time when I posted. Let me go check.
