(((((Hilary and mum))))). Deaths on 'special' days always seem to hit people a bit harder. Those on other dates are just as memorable to the close family and friends. It is good that you are able to get there to hold your mum after her long journey with a challenging dad. Be safe.
 
Good decision to go back Hilary. Your family will appreciate it. Safe travels (I assume you know you can ask for a compassionate airfare-usually requires death certificate. Sorry for your loss.
 
Sorry for your loss Hilary. Glad you are making the effort to go to the funeral, to say your good-byes and to support other family members.
 
Hilary, I am sorry I said "like" to your news, There ought to be another button'

Thinking of you and your mum. Blessings to both of you.
 
Thanks, everybody. It's nice to have a place in which I don't have to be careful of others' feelings as I work through my own. And even though I don't post a lot... you're here for me anyway. I love this Room.

I went out to Chapters today after church to pick up my calendar for 2016. Seems like just yesterday we were all in a flap about year 2000! So a task for this afternoon is to transfer over all the birthdays, appointments etc. onto the new calendar. But I will follow my mother's strict admonishment to NEVER hang the new calendar before January 1. I wonder - was that just her own superstition, or have others heard this too?

It was never allowed in my family, either, Carolla. It was considered to bring bad luck for the New Year!

Carolla, Paradox3 - is it still bad luck if you hang the new calendar on the nail behind the old one sometime in December so that when you need to jot ddown an appointment in January it is there, and when January arrives you can simply remove the old one and have the new one ready instead of having to hunt through all the drawers in your livingroom and den, all your closets, all your desk tops, only to find it in the magazine rack the day after you've bought another.
 
Some hard beliefs feel that looking to the future is witchcraft ... thus today is all you have ... well maybe ... but maybe an incarnation! (or thus something not as it appears)

Suppose time will come when we'll know all that is presently in the abstract zoan? Would that be hell for those denying pain in a widespread area ... or psychopathic analgesia ... denial of all pain, even if you caused it?

Could we do that in the nature of living instead of nurturing? Is dead then supernatural if you are unfeeling when dead? What if there is something aus Moor attached to this unknown phenomenon ...

High thoughts for those that have lost loved ones ... keep them in a safe place ... mine is good as a pipe dream when people won't look as they don't believe ID exists! Such losses are wide spread ... severely felt this time of year !

I've heard it said in my family too - although I don't believe in luck. Some calendars are actually published with a page for December of the previous year.
 
If you don't believe in luck what is the chance of meeting your own piece of God? Quanta ... you don't gwanta ... God(s) are extremely un predictable ...

I don't believe in lush be sauce there's been no objective evidence that shush a thin act lush exacts.

I do believe in God.
 
Strange. Heaven knows my mother had her share of superstitions, about ladders, cats, salt, umbrellas open in house, shoes on a table, etc., but I've never heard this one. And I always pin next year's calendar behind this year's when I get it, or I'd never find it again.
