Wednesday's Digressions








  • "Kavya Shivashankar wins National Spelling Bee after successfully completing the "Fill In your name" portion of the application."
  • Fark headline- 
  • I know someone who was referred to CPS for an injury their child received and which they subsequently sought treatment for but, this is not the point at which hilarity ensued.
  • That started when the social worker came to the house and mom still had  Child Abuser playfully written on her arm by a family member who had been teasing her mercilessly about the ordeal.
  • The great grandmother whose funeral was held recently was posed with her head turned slightly toward the viewer and a faint smile on her face.
  • Different.
  • Love having a couple of old friends who were funeral directors- lots of interesting stories and inside scoop.
  • An old schoolfriend was the funeral director for my mom. Who would have ever guessed when essentially our entire 3rd grade class once got in trouble for having a rock fight on the playground we'd meet again under such circumstances? I think the teacher must have ducked into the lounge for a smoke and the rocks went flying. It's a wonder someone wasn't killed.
  • You're dating yourself I guess- if you remember teachers lounges that smelled worse than any bar.

Whoever loves let him flourish. Whoever knows not love let him perish. Let him perish twice whoever forbids love.
