G'day Vicki,


 VC> GG> It was a lovely funeral.
 VC>
 VC> I thought so too. Only the BBQ was missing. There were also
 VC> comments that there should have been a couple of fishing rods and
 VC> an outboard on the coffin to make Ray feel right at home. 

BTW, we sure have strange ways to have sysops meetings and Yaks.  I
trust the next one WILL include the barbie.


 VC> GG> When I die, I shall have to thank Ray for providing Rod with an
 VC> GG> excuse to take me out on Valentines Day.
 VC>
 VC> And the florist was NOT pleased when I
 VC> rang and told her what day the
 VC> funeral was.

Oh yes, and I got to SEE flowers on Valentines day too. Didn't get any,
but got to see lots.  ;-)


 VC> GG> Hmm, dunno why, but one of the Lazurus Long quotes (Robert
 VC> GG> Heinlein) just came to mind:
 VC>
 VC> GG> "There's only one way to console a widow.  But beware of the
 VC> GG> consequences."  - Lazurus Long

 VC> I had to write the word widow on a form on Monday and it jumped
 VC> out and caught me by surprise and made me burst into tears. Sigh.

Lots of >

I *hope* that this happened when and where it could be beneficial for
you.   A couple months after my Mom died, a bank statement seemed way
out of wack and I called to talk to the manager.  Luckily she knew me,
and had known of the circumstances a couple months before, with my
niece being killed the same day as my mothers funeral. Anyway, the
offending dollar amount turned out to be from an ATM withdrawal made
that weekend - but not entered into my books.  When I started to tell
her what it was from and the time frame - I too broke down. It's the
only time I've ever had tears "help" a circumstance, in that the
manager forgave the bank fee from it and gave time to get the balance
back to normal.


 VC> Actually double sigh.

A shared one, at that.


Cheers,
Gaelyne
