    Thank you. It has really taken the winds out of my sails this morning. I knew it was coming and managed to compartmentalize it for most of the week but my poor Dad undid that. He was a wreck on the phone and could barely talk other than to deliver the news. I kept asking him how he was doing and there was just silence. I have to go with the wife to take a kid to the doctor and will be going over to see him after that.

    It's rough, no doubt, but it is good that you are close enough to them that you can be there for your dad.

    I'm sorry for your loss ani. From what you said before about him I think that at least he is at peace now.

    I cancelled Comcast cable this morning. (Kept internet though...) Raised my bill by $80 without notifying me.

    Yeowch!!! We haven't had cable for 6 years and use the antenna (and roku-netflix, hulu) and my husband never has any trouble finding stuff to watch :)
    Yep, already had the antenna as I knew this was going to happen eventually. I have netflix and the internet, which will be enough... Until football season atleast. Then I might need to reconsider..

    I got a thing in the mail from comcast today (24 hours since I canceled) about being a loyal customer and asking to upgrade to the X1 bs... I can't figure out if this was already in the mail, or if they overnighted it to me. It's different and alot more substantive than usual :think:

    I had a great time with relatives visiting from Ireland this past weekend....now i'm pretty sure i won't be able to say the word 'lovely' again without an accent

    what part of Ireland are your relatives from?
    close to Carlow

    Cool, I play badminton in Carlow :) Good people down there! What's their surname? (I know I'm only encouraging the stereotype that we all know each other, but just in case!)
    what'd you mean you don't all know each other? and here i taught everyone in Ireland's related ;)

    i'm not putting any surnames out on the interwebs...my lovely Nana would return from her grave to scold me for having bad manners :p

    i sent you a pm

Lol cause I don't know your name, and God kmows who I'm talking about).

    Thank you. Life is moving on. I have enjoyed having random memories of my grandfather and things we did. Things I have not thought about since being a child. Grandpa is being cremated so hopefully that means memorial will be over the weekend. More time to see family than it being during the week when I would fly in one day and out the next.

    sad to hear about Ani's loss...lots of love to you and your family.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
