Condolences. I don't know how old your uncle was. I hope he reached a good age.

My grandfather will probably go as well, somewhere in the not too distant future. He'll turn 90 in January. He's been having many problems als of late. The doctor says nothing can be done; he's dying of old age. At that age, it is to be expected, so everybody (including himself, as far as we can see) is already at peace with that.

He was 77.
Weird part, my father died November 7, 1998. They were roommates when my father died.
My father was 56.

Cinisajoy: My sincere condolences on your loss.

Cinisajoy, my condolences as well.

Wow... that's young. I did have an uncle though, who unexpectedly died at 54. That's a lot harder to accept than someone dying at 90. Good luck.

(hugs) I hope that you have many wonderful memories that make you smile

My deepest condolences, Cinisajoy. I forgot I was supposed to work at a different branch today. I normally work there on Wednesdays but was switched with someone else this week because he is out today.

This could have been bad because I take the bus to work at the usual location but, at this new campus, there isn't a really good bus connection. A co-worker drove me here and I'll have to Uber home.

Rumpelteazer · 11-10-2015, 12:17 PM

My condolences to you and your family Cinisajoy.

covingtoncat73 · 11-10-2015, 03:31 PM

What an atrocious day! People have taken their domestic dramas into the library and security had to be called. Then people bringing small children into an academic library. *Sigh* I. Need. Whiskey.

Cinisajoy · 11-10-2015, 04:23 PM

Handing you a whiskey.
Can I guess these were not Gifted and Talented children?

Thank you. No, no they were not. The two little boys were toddlers/very early school age. The adult women with them were, presumably, students.

Here, let me offer you a glass of Lagavulin. You can't stay stressed with a Lagavulin, it requires you to slow down and sip. No knocking back a quick double.
