Five????? Did Nana like wedding cake?? Nana was married and widowed twice. I should have clarified, but I am still laughing over yesterday. I still have to deal with: Mum, Nana, Grand-dad, Nannie and Nannie's second husband's ashes.

I finally dealt with Nana's second husband's ashes yesterday. I've had them for about 12 years; he passed in 1994. A good friend, his wife and I went to BBB's favourite place to scatter the ashes and as I was saying a few words I opened the box only to find the ashes (in a plastic bag) were like a block of concrete. I start laughing so hard they thought I was crying. Being helpful my friend took the box from me, cut the bag open and turned the box over. The ashes fell to the ground and then broke apart. We were all laughing at that point. I intended to be respectful, sometimes it just doesn't work out. If you knew BBB, it was a rather fitting send off. I hope he is happy with his final resting place now that he is no longer stuck in my garage. One down, five to go.

Sending coping vibes your way Willz. You keep taking care of that heart, we need to make 50 this year.

Changed Thank you!

I still have hours to go, but the chat closed out. Happy New Year! Have a terrific and prosperous 2016 everyone!

No I don't. I leave it to the professionals.

Consistency!

At the hard core prompting of LFN and the ruthless teasing by others last New Year, may I change my user name from RandomGuest to RandomCanadian? Many thanks. LFN, I'm leaving my avatar as is for now.

Look, we don't do Mrs Robinson here................ Never do a guy I could parent...my minimum is 35. Shame... Also I'm a few days off 20 - not exactly a child. My daughter turns 20 in February.

I tend to join and then the room clears. Though Deathray and I had a lovely chat before he got bored had to go. My kid needs my full attention now so I'm off to be a parent.

4.9 earthquake at PST23:40 yesterday. My autistic son freaked right out. He's just heading back to bed now.

I think Id rather eat my own testicles. Prairie oyster style or still attached? Just curious, makes for an interesting visual.

Watching Harry Potter marathon on Space Channel. Ah...my happy place.

So, snow in Canadialand, floods in England, bush fires in Oz and California. See? Bears do shit in the woods. I live near a ravine, bears shit in my back yard.

My son woke up around 3:00am this morning. He was unfortunately in a coughing fit after using his rescue inhaler we just happened to look outside. Snow. Almost a white christmas. All too quickly the rain washed it all away.

I knew my grandparents and my great grandmother (I've mentioned her a couple of times). My children and I were very close to Nana who passed earlier this year. January was a tough month for many DL members. My parents passed young. My children never knew either of my parents, but two of them actually knew their great-great grandmother. Nannie and my second daughter were born 100 years apart. I still mourn mum, but I celebrate Nana. Grief is a process and different for each loss.

Director-general: You have strong Eurocrat skills, consider coming over to the Dark Side. 11 out of 12I'm shaking my head. I do love trivia maybe that is the secret to my success?

I searched his name and couldn't find a reference to him specifically my apologies if already posted. Former BC Premier Bill Bennett passed away yesterday from complications of Alzheimers. He was quite controversial. I even wrote a song about one of the scandals for a staff holiday party. CTV Link: http://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/former-b-c-premier-bill-bennett-dies-at-age-83-1.2687580

Another wind storm another power outage. We got our power back at 07:00.

I've had to watch that for quite a few series because the old man likes it, but I have noticed over the years that the bloke in it wears more and more guyliner, which means I can't take him seriously. I heart Crabtree. Coincidentally my son left the house an hour ago with his guyliner proudly applied.

I'm watching a recording of Murdoch Mysteries. I'm almost in my happy place.
