things to remember

things I need to remember whilst blogging.

1. my own url, for when I'm commenting on or at other bloggers blogs.

2. open microsoft word to use for spell check at other bloggers blogs..

and now for something completely different...

We had to do two wakes today, one for a neighbor from the old neighborhood and the other for my wifes sisters husbands mother. Would that be my bro in laws mother?
The best part, if there is such a thing about wakes and attending them, they were at the same place.
Another good thing, one was from 1pm to 5pm and the other was from 4pm to 8pm, which worked out nicely as I'm working nights. I got to bed around 10isham and got up 3:30ish.
So we hit the tail end of the first one and the begining of the second.

Other things I notice about wakes....

Other than the obvious, it's easier to be on the greeting side of the line than it is being in the " I'm sorry for your lose" side.... I found that at Stephanie's, our daughter when she died.
Ya still don't know everyone, but it's easier to say thanks for coming and pass that person on than it is saying you're very sorry 10 or more times just like the guy or gal who just went in front of you.
Another thing is that the older the person is the lines are way shorter as is the wait. That most come with age, one gets to a point in ones life and most of your friends have passed on.

so, how was your day.
