Dear Bones,
I hope you're getting out and being blown away by some flowers.

Bones in the Flowers.

Flowerbones.

Thanks, Hops.

I did manage to get out and about when the weather warmed up.  Then the landscapers came through, doing a massive amount of work, kicking up pollen and stuff like nobody's business, and now I'm dealing with a bout of asthma.  NUTS!!!!!!

The letter about the service dog really bugged me.  There seems to be a lack of privacy where disability is concerned.  I can understand that a person can be curious about something that is in some way unusual for them to see.  But surely they should also have the sense and good manners to know that their curiosity shouldn't take priority over the other person's privacy and their right to get on with their day as they see fit.

I agree!  There have been times where I've encountered idiots who did not respect boundaries.  One day, I was riding the subway  with a fellow classmate, who happens to be Deaf-blind and we were conversing in Sign Language.  Without warning, some total strangers invaded our space, stuck their fingers in our ears and started praying at the top of their lungs.  I went off!  They tried to justify their actions by quoting Bible verses at me and I quoted a Bible verse back at them about they NEED TO ASK PERMISSION FIRST!  If I had REALLY lost my temper, I could have done some physical damage!  GRRRRRR!!!!!

Wow, Bonesie, that is truly shocking behaviour.  What is it with some people??!!  It takes so little effort to just be polite (or to just keep your mouth shut if that's easier!).

I hope you're sleeping better now  ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Bones)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Thanks, Tupp.

I wish I could understand why some people act so stupid.  It just FROSTS me when they attempt to quote the Bible as an excuse for outrageous behavior.  *Shaking my head*

Just got word this morning that a friend of mine is dealing with loss.  I've been aware, for years, that her birth-unit was an N, and a vicious one at that.  I won't go into the crap that the N had pulled over the years.  As of 1:10 AM, this morning, the N has died.  My friend won't have to deal with her  N-crap anymore.  Dealing with the death is another matter, as I know all too painfully well.

My guess is that smiley was because of your wit, Miz B ("birth-unit" is a good one!).

Lotta ups and downs in that post and I guess that's natural.

Sorry for her loss, glad for your insight, and sorry you also know the confusing
grief + relief that's possible about Ns' deaths (and legacies).
