Ryane, so sorry for your loss but I do know what you mean about feeling good that at least she’s no longer suffering. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Ugh on a lot of levels…sorry for all the bold and I hit post too soon. It’s definitely Friday the 13th and I definitely shouldn’t post using my phone…
I meant to include that as much as I’m fighting the Christmas creep, I did break down and buy a cute sheet of Peanuts Christmas magnets from the dollar spot at Target today. They also had a Christmas coloring book featuring Peanuts. Wish I had known before 3:30pm that my 6 months and counting temp assignment was over today or I would have picked that up to lift my spirits while I wait for another assignment. Sigh.

How right you are Cameron!
Just lucked out with two hours of Man vs Food tonight. I don’t know why but I love that show so much. Maybe it’s because it makes me feel better about my own eating habits?
Ah! And I finally saw F13 the Final Chapter today. McFly’s dance won me over and I think for that alone, it has replaced F13 2 for a favorite. “The computer never lies.”
Once again, thanks everyone. I appreciate all of your thoughts.

Ryane, I am so sorry to hear about you mom’s passing. I hope it makes you feel better that she is no longer in pain, no longer has to suffer, and can finally be free. It’s rough on a family, I know. Your family will be in my thoughts. Once again, I am so sorry that your mother died…
Bill, I watched “The Final Chapter” for the very first time 2 weeks ago during my dusk ’til dawn Halloween movie night. Between Crispin Glover’s dance, the machete to the eye and a bald possessed Corey Feldman, This easily became one of my favorites in the series….from the ones I’d actually seen anyway.
drew do, I’ll watch Christmas Vacation anytime I stumble across it, no matter what time of year. But it is required yuletide watching, along with A Christma Story, It’s a Wonderful Life, and Elf. And the new Christmas Carol will be added to that.
Ryane, like someone else said, not a pity party, but my heart goes out to you and you AND your family will be in my prayers.

Nicole, you have my- Ahem…. You have my sympathies in particular. I was at a job recently for over a year as a temp where, for various reasons, they couldn’t hire me full time. Then the job was moving to a different department and they had to hire somebody. I had three successful interviews and was led to believe the position was mine. I even helped write the manual for the position. I was far and away the best candidate. So after a few weeks I finally find out that they decided to go with someone else. (Someone already in-company, it was stressed to me, as if that will make me feel better.) At the end of that week I was basically told thanks for your time, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
Suffice to say I understand and it’s plain awful when these companies can’t even have the common courtesy to give some advance warning when they are letting you go.
So sorry Ryane…it is tough to lose a parent. My grandma was a second mom to me, and it was such a relief for Jesus to take her home, where she could have an eternity with all her brothers and sisters and my pop pop and her parents and friends…I like to think that we go to a big welcoming party in heaven where all the guests are our departed loved ones and pets. And we get to live out eternity with such a warm happiness, that we are truly home and pain free forever.
on another subject…just sitting here waiting for Greys Anatomy from Thursday to buffer on Hulu. Using dial up while net zero fixes their goof up of disconnecting my dsl.

Yeah, I’d prefer to just die and be thrown into a hole. None of this welcoming party or anything for me . . .
ashes to ashes and dust to dust.

Yeah, kind of gathered that based on your, “I won’t pray for you” post before. I’m more of a “You’ll be in my thoughts” kind of guy.

Yes, please just a blessed release of consciousness, for me, tyvm.

Ryane+ I’m sorry for your loss, and you have my condolences.
Friday the 13th came and went. Nothing happened. We had a good Veteran’s Day. Despite a little scrae involving my
nephew. They found water on the Moon. I wonder what Moon Water tastes like.

Whoa, X-E is getting philosophical. Who knew?
Anyway, here’s hoping for a SNT. Bust it out, Matt!
My mom died the day before thanksgiving 4 years ago. Personally, I hate(d) it when people said/say that I’ll see her again in heaven or that I can take comfort in the thought of her looking down on me from heaven and watching over me and smiling. I don’t believe that and I don’t think people should assume that others do. You can console someone without mentioning your personal religious beliefs. So, in closing, I understand how you feel, Ryane, and I’m sorry that this has happened to you. Losing a parent leaves you with an empty feeling. Hugs to you during this difficult time.

Rhino I lol’ed at your bold-ness (HAHAGETITHAHA). And yeah, I knew that this was just a summer temp thing and they had kept me far longer than anyone anticipated, but telling me at 3:30pm on a Friday that I’m done just plain sucks. But the office manager is the bitch to end all bitches, so I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised. That situation you had is even worse, though…it’s just such total bullshit the way companies are allowed to treat their employees, temps or not. Sigh. I need to win the lottery
I saw The Fourth Kind today and I thought it was pretty cool even though it professes to be based on truth and is 100% fake. Going to see 2012 tomorrow; I’m just really excited for the effects on that one. I hope they show Long Island falling into the ocean! I’ve been hoping that would happen for YEARS.
Yeah I’ve never been a religious type of person at all. My Dad wanted me and my brother to grow up and decide for ourselves what we wanted to do regarding all of that – so I like to think that there’s a little good in each religion, but I don’t feel that any certain one is 100% correct. But, I still appreciate your thoughts, prayers, condolences, etc., etc.
I do like to think that there is something after we die, though. The thought of just ceasing to exist all together scares the shit outta me, so, I do hope that there is *something* after all of this. But then again, the thought of having your relatives able to watch you whenever they want kinda freaks me out, too. Maybe there is some sort of existence on another plane all together. *sigh* I don’t know, but I do know that thinking about all of it too long makes me want to go have a panic attack, so I better stop while I’m ahead.
The viewing is tomorrow night, Funeral the next day, so after that, I’ll be able to breath a little easier and not have so much outside stress. You know, I almost think that dealing with everyone else is the most stressful part about someone dying. I’m the loner type and always have been, so I process things a TON better when I can retreat into my little hole and not have so many other people to share it with in so many ways. I dunno, I’m not saying it’s not a difficult thing to get through, it’s just, an added stress dealing with the other side of it all. But, I’m just rolling with it, for now. No use in going against the grain.
On a random note – I wish I could find a leprechaun that agreed to grant me a wish… and my wish would be that X-E would have no more pop-up-when-you-click-anywhere ads. Those really eat at me! lol

Whoa whoa whoa, how did I not know of xematt on the twitters? That looks legit and everything!
So sorry for your loss, Ryane. My thoughts are with you <3
Happy SNT! Gotta run, going to see New York, I Love You, finally. Hope it’s worth the wait (as if it’s not, Natalie Portman plus Shia in business casual, hello!). Have a good one everybody!
