Replacement glass crisper cover for our fridge turned up today!  :)
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in...

I got an invite to my baby shower which my mom and sister are throwing when we go to the states next week.

I've been told to bring an empty tummy (with the obvious exception of the babies)

Getting my cards was the highlight of my day, too.

Received a dvd of DW's BIL funeral. I thought at first it was a bit strange but after viewing it, it made a lot of sense. Although it is very sad, it provided a connection to a family event that she would have otherwise not experienced.

It is quite common in Burma to hire a photographer and have a video made. And they do film everything including the cremation.

It was really eerie, afterwards DW called her niece (BIL's DD) in the US and her niece was looking at the same dvd at the same time.


 
Still tired of coteries and bans. But hanging about anyway.

Wow, that would be odd. My mother took a photograph of my grandfather in his casket for me and even that was a bit too much for me.

But I think it's worth having a record of these sort of things. Even if you never look at them, at least you know you have them and can see it if you want to.

I did think it was odd but then was discussing with a friend and they said ain't much different that these internet funerals viewings. Que? They have these things? Supposedly they do but he thought it was more just viewing the service rather than a few cameras mingling through the mourners and certainly not of the actual furnace entry.

I remember as a kid seeing a photo of gravestone, somewhere in Edinburgh, with my full name carved in the stone.  :o Ain't any other surname as ours so I doubt there any other tombstones out there with my name on it. Turns out it was my uncle that I was named after who had died in infancy. I always thought, as a kid, that was odd.

I got a Nintendo 64 controller in the post today.  Now I'm just waiting on the N64 to USB adapter and then I'll run an emulator of the N64 system on my PC for lots a retro (semi retro anyways) goodness!

It wasn't really good, as much as it was freaky. I got my statement from the Social Security Administration. I wasn't sure how they got my address, but then I realized it was from when I submitted my taxes!  :P
