Yeah...just started here. Lotsa rain and I need to get off the computer! Thunder and lightening...not good for modems.

My mother-in-law died.
She gets a 21-gun salute later in the month.
I will miss her.

21635. Ulgine Barrows - 4/18/2007 8:28:29 AM

A lot.

21636. Magoseph - 4/18/2007 11:19:20 AM

I'm very sorry for your loss, Ulgine.

21637. thoughtful - 4/18/2007 1:33:09 PM

Ulgine, my condolences for your loss.

21638. judithathome - 4/18/2007 4:00:24 PM

Add mine, Ulgine.

21639. wabbit - 4/18/2007 5:46:07 PM

And mine, Ulgine, I'm very sorry to hear about your mother-in-law's passing.

21640. Magoseph - 4/18/2007 6:12:53 PM

What I have understood and correct me if I'm wrong, Ulgine, your MIL was very supportive of you in your marriage. That's a rare gift to have from a MIL, in my opinion. I'm thinking of you.

I'm sorry about your mother-in-law, Ulgine.

21642. wonkers2 - 4/18/2007 11:26:43 PM

What did she do to get a 21-gun salute?

21643. prolph - 4/19/2007 1:10:41 AM

ulgine, i will be thinking of you in yoour loss, patsy

21644. alistairconnor - 4/19/2007 8:56:35 AM

A big hug, Ulgine.

21645. Ulgine Barrows - 4/19/2007 11:08:24 AM

Thank you all for the condolences.

This probably sounds sick, but I am looking forward to the ceremony. She is getting buried in a veteran's graveyard.

She was in the army in WW2. That's where she met my hubbie's dad. Hence, the 21 gun salute.

She was very special to me, especially after my own mom died.

She was a really neat lady. The mother-in-law jokes never applied to her. She was smart as a fox. I'll miss her.

21646. Ulgine Barrows - 4/19/2007 11:17:43 AM

She died at home, just as she planned. No hospital or tubes.

21647. Magoseph - 4/19/2007 12:05:25 PM

This probably sounds sick, but I am looking forward to the ceremony.

It is not sick to feel good about honoring a person who has meant so much to you.

21648. thoughtful - 4/19/2007 2:53:09 PM

Sounds to me like she was fortunate to have a DIL like you who appreciated and respected her.

21649. Magoseph - 4/20/2007 7:01:25 AM

Hi, Wiz.

21650. Ms. No - 4/20/2007 6:40:04 PM

Oh, man, Ulgine, I'm so sorry to hear about your MIL. Definitely enjoy the ceremony, that's what it's for. To honor her and to comfort those left behind.

21651. Ulgine Barrows - 4/21/2007 9:46:18 AM

Y'all are great. I think my MIL was smart as a fox.

Now, may I talk trash about the brother-in-law I've never liked?

21652. Ulgine Barrows - 4/21/2007 10:02:10 AM

That knucklehead got up and said his mom wasn't clever.

I think they elected him cuz he is the only one with a college degree. O, mistake.
He came off as a Jethro, to me.

That lady was smart as a fox.

In his defense, his voice broke several times. Boo hoo, all around.

I didn't do so well when I buried my mom or dad, either, but I don't think I called them unclever.

Hah, I am here tonight to fight the forces of evil.
It was a lovely service.

It was a lovely service. My husband is going to change his morning routine to go into work 15 minutes later, to catch a cuppa for his dad so the dad won't feel so alone.

/off bitter than his mom wasn't worth that effort/
