A death in the family

[TheSlyMoogle]

So earlier today my Great uncle died.

Blech.

So now my dad has gone super jerk.

I barely knew the man.

So dad was all like "We'll you have to go to the viewing, and you have to go to the funeral."

I don't want to go to either. So I made a compromise and said I would go to the funeral if I didn't have to go to the viewing. So they finally agreed.

So then I came over to Josh's house. Before I came over though my uncle's daughter asked me to be a Pall bearer. I barely knew the man, so I politely declined the offer, and she gave me one of those "Uh, what a jerk looks."

So I told her it would remind me too much of being one when my friend died. That seemed to satisfy her.

On the bright side of things my dad is probably going to move the second phone line from his garage to the house so I can use it as an internet line. Cool...

Then he jerked out again and told me I couldn't take my computer to college, because "They have computers there for me to use." Screw that. I'll get it there one way or another!

YES! Fight the power. If its your computer, you deserve to take it with you.

And condolences to the death. I had one recently with my great-grandpa but couldn't be a pallbearer because my dad wasn't sure how well my back would hold up to holding the casket (had back surgery back '02)

Deaths arn't cool, but i've been in the same boat wher you barely know them , and your parents spazz out.

And the computer is yours.....your computer, your decision.

I also had a death in the Family, this past December. Twas my grandma, it was quite a shock, even though she was 90 years old, she was doing very well, still able to walk pretty decent, clean the house, do normal stuff, ect. I was a pall bearer at the funeral...trust me, its not a difficult thing to do. They had 6 people carrying the casket, with my and my brother in the middle so we didnt have the heaviest weight to carry. Only had to carry it maybe 20-30 feet in total.

Sorry to hear of your loss. I hope something good happens to you tomorrow to compensate for it.

And, from what I can tell, it sounds like it would be pretty easy to outsmart your dad, just trick him or something, or take the computer when he's not looking.

Never said it was difficult Just that my dad didn't want to trust me holding it with others since he wasnt sure on weight of casket and how much pressure would be on my back.
