As @sewzinski Sarah would say, those parents are batsh*t crazy. Period. That is the most bizarre story. Gors to prove that truth is stranger than fiction. You are a bigger person than me. I would have had a freakout on that mom.

They STILL talk about the while thing. Personally, I think that the funeral home staff were either withering a little bit inside…or they were running upstairs, locking themselves in a room and laughing. I left out the parts at the meal afterwards. What bugged me is that it wasn’t a case of a tantrum or uncharacteristic behavior. The mother announced when approached about her daughter trying to carry a floral arrangement that she “wants to do it” so should be allowed. Strangely enough, I still want kids after seeing all this. But if someone wanted to scare a teenager into keeping their pants zipped, they should come babysit.

This is really mean of me to gossip and rant, but its all anonymous. Sort of. The people involved will probably never read this and a girl has to let it out somewhere, huh?

Oh for crying out loud “Expressing her grief”?? I think the only grief a three year old experiences is if her sippy cup is empty. My God. Can you imagine how many people at the service talked about that crime all night long and into the next day?

Kathy,
I hope when he has to post that, blogging has gone the way of the dodo bird, as you will be 120 years old when you die. I don’t think that’s weird to want your readers to know. If a famous author died, there would certainly be a press release about it. It sort of makes me look at abandoned blogs in a different way. There are a few of them where someone wrote voraciously and then stopped and fell off the face of the earth. It makes me wondered if they lost interest..or passed away.

I can’t imagine finding out about someone’s death on Facebook before I heard it anywhere else. What a strange new world this is, huh? On a related note, I plan to write a final post for a friend to post on my blog should I unexpectedly die. My husband will have instructions to send the post to my friend in the event of my death (he wouldn’t be able to handle the posting, technically or emotionally). People say that’s a weird thing to do, but I would want my readers to know where I went instead of just dropping out.

Been there. Hopefully Twitter will actually respond this time. I would follow your other twitter account…but I can’t. I need more followers before twitter will let me. Yep, Grandma is a hoot. You should have met her mom, Tricky Edna, who is no longer with us.

Sad that you lost your friend, sending my thoughts to you and her family and to her, of course. Your grandmother’s hilarious. I know my grandma (91) would say the same thing. On a similar note, my cousin passed away late last year. It was horrible. Every once in awhile Facebook reminds me to reconnect with her. At first, I think about the digtal you living on long after you’re gone, but them I’m just happy to see her again.

You should contact Twitter. I just started @shopdomestica and I’m following all kinds/people with no prob. Something’s up. Maybe something’s not verified - I had some issues when I first got on her with an unverified email account. Anyway…

Well, as far as the sign, I think the Ellen/Mike/Harold/Penelope format makes just as much sense as the varying font sizes and neon of reality. Ruth clearly did not hire a marketing consultant and just “went with it” back in the day, so I would say the sign follows in that tradition. She must have been a cool gal to have known. She threw spaghetti against the wall..but it stuck.

I drive past a Ruth’s Chris every day and always marvel at how awkward both the name and their sign is- have you ever seen their sign? It’s like the most random shape of neon surrounding the letters. I guess the food must be good if people can overlook things like that-! Thanks for getting to the bottom of this, for those of us who also can’t be bothered to read the company histories!
