Haines His Way

DR Cillaliz.  Did you know David Hicks is now in an Australian jail?

I did read a news report about his trial, and I believe it mentioned he would spend time in an Australian prison.

My hair is in a pony tail....

Is that a kinky coded message?!

Tom consider yourself lucky!

Neigh!!!

DR SWW - No spatchcocking.  Just a few slices of bacon over the breast during the first 45 minutes of cooking.  It acts a "moisturizer", an insulator, and de-browner.  And that bacon is pretty tasty too once it's off the bird.  I crumbled it over the salads.

That's called barding.

Hello, fellow Dear Readers. That is all.

Danise, the funeral director should have a number (like an account number) that you give to the airline for the bereavement fare.

I've just always collected a letter from the funeral director to give to the airline on my return trip.  

Off to see the very talented Lauren Molina's cabaret act.  Really looking forward to it.

Ohhh... Was I supposed to go to that tonight?  

Just 6?

 

 

 

Well, it's a start...

In honor of Grey Garden's I had corn on the cob tonight....Jerry would have liked it

Hi all.  I can't stay for long because I have so much to do to get ready for the "trip".  I don't want to go to Pittsbugh.  It makes things so--final.

I can't thank all of you enough for the caring and support.  I read about VixMom's Sarah.  It really puts me to shame.  Here I go on and on about myself and there is a little girl who really needs all of our vibes and prayers.

Here is the way the "trip" worked out.  Thelma and I are leaving on Tuesday at about 8:20 AM.  We should arrive at approx 10:30 AM.  Thelma will pick up the rental car and we will go directly to the Funeral Home to make the final arrangements.  Then we will go to the hotel.

Now this depends on Thelma being able to get on the same flight as I am.  She is flying on stand by.  The next flight won't get to Pittsburgh until after five.  In that case, I will have to take a cab to the funeral home and hope Thelma gets that next flight up.  She may not even make it until the next day!

Anyway, I am allow the family (should there be any) one last courtesy by waiting to have the funeral on Thursday.  That will allow the announcement to be put in the paper on Wednesday.  If anyone shows up great.  If not, so be it.  I’ve made two phone calls to answering machines where I left a message and sent 2 emails.  My heart is clear because I did try my very best.

Anyway, the funeral itself will be on Thursday, May 24th.  What time is yet to be determined by my meeting with the funeral home.

I’ll go over to Thelma’s house tomorrow night so we can have her husband take us to the airport.  I will be catching a shuttle bus back to Thelma’s house to pick up the car on Friday night.  

And that is that.

I stopped off tonight on the way home from Thelma’s house and bought myself a good steak dinner.  I haven’t had a real meal in about three weeks.  Hospice food was ok but it was hospital food.   I thought I should eat something since I only had the eggs/bacon/toast on Friday night and a TV dinner last night and nothing today until I stopped to eat.

I must say I really enjoyed that steak.  

Oh and I think I got a really good deal from Obitz.  I phoned in my request after looking it up on line.  It would have been about $750.00 but when I explained the reason for the trip, the guy gave me a price of $630.00.  That included roundtrip airfare and the hotel for 3 nights.  Not bad.

Forgive me but I'm playing wussburger.  I have so much to do tomorrow before I head to Thema's house.  

Have a wonderful evening.  I will try to post sometime tomorrow but if I don't, please don't worry.  It's just that I'm trying to do a million and one things.
