Ahahhaha true dat AV!!!
Thanks to all for the kind words on my FIL's passing. The funeral was done well and we went out after and enjoyed time with fun and laughter, hugs and hand shakes. Carl (my FIL) would have loved to have been there and indeed he was.

That's the way to do it. In fact, in my family, we don't have funerals. Just wakes. I once read a great quote that said that people live on for as long as one person remembers their name. Cheers Carl.

That’s absolutely brilliant and sounds like a great send off.
We had a huge party for my 23yo niece who passed a while back ~ we laughed, shed a few tears, shared hilarious stories ~ it was a genuine celebration of her precious, fun-packed & amazing life.
Good send offs are good for the heart and the soul

Well, finally started unpacking my books, and I'm a bit depressed over the fact that I do not have enough shelf space for all of them...Not even close to all of them in fact. For a place so much bigger than my last one, it has an annoying lack of actual wall space, mostly due to huge windows / sliding doors taking up far too much wall.
Am having to drastically edit what can be displayed, and soon will be doing the whole "Keep this but in boxes / Get rid of this."
To be fair, I still own every book I've ever had since I was a child, so I can probably stand to be donating a bunch of them, but I don't like it.

Absolutely true Sky. Having a funeral and then walking away makes someones life seem so empty. Much better for all to get together and remember that person, sharing those times with others that you spent with the person that died. Have a big party, eat good food, have good times.
AV, you need a new house already! LOL I purged some books years ago. It hurt to get rid of them but I have moved a number of times since then and am glad I didnt lug those around every time. I kept just a box or two that had books that I felt I would read over and over again.

Problem is, I read almost all of my books over and over again. Kinda have to when you read at the pace I do. Still, those are the ones I've mostly managed to shelve, with most of the rest being more obscure once-offs. Still there are some that I want available regardless, so I'm really agonising over these last few shelf-spaces.

I am feeling intrigued mostly by the possibility of reengaging here. I've recently read The Killing God, and spent much of the last few years writing a ton of music, and would love to have a place to discuss. Maybe it's time to spend more of my time here.

Well today Ive flown down to Melbourne to spend a few weeks with my grandchildren Ive mentioned before that my granddaughter was diagnosed with Ushers Syndrome ~ well her genetic screening has identified a more refined diagnosis and they now know she has Zellweger Spectrum Syndrome ~ it’s a Peroxisomal Disorder and it’s horrific … Riley is amazing ~ she’s in first grade at a school for deaf/blind so she’s thriving. She such a smart little cookie.
She’s not completely blind yet and hopefully the cochlear implants will help her gain hearing but she has to be closely managed (regular blood tests) to stay on top of issues like organ failure.
Taking this proactive approach aims to intervene before physical signs are evident (which can take obviously longer). Liver failure is common but if they had to wait for the appearance of jaundice it would be too late ~ to reverse at that point.
She’s happily unaware of all this ugliness and is just diving into life as any 5yo would , she’s a complete delight

I don't think you're using enough rabbits. At this point, we need enough to fill an Olympic swimming pool.
