I hope the colour update means more colours for items like the newer colours. I hate it when I think oh that items perfect...oh it's not in any of the colours I wear :(

@Moi: Nooo, I'm Polish XD And it's mixed up here. We have 1st and 2nd November, they're both holidays, but only the one on the 1st is a work-free day, and that's a "All Saints Day" or something. And the 2nd November is so called "Zaduszki" or "Deceased Day", which is not a work-free day. I suppose it's because Zaduszki is more or less a pagan holiday, even though nowadays it's technically "celebrating the deceased catholics" or something. So instead of going to the graves on the 2nd day, like we should, everybody goes on the 1st, because it's a free effing day, we have the special cemetery bus lines (tho I think they work both days actually), and the next day everybody goes to work again. So people usually go on the 1st and that's it. Those days can be more like bazaars tho, hats, masks, clothes, sweets... But no, it's not really the Dia de Muertos, same idea, different things XD

I still remember my grandpa the night before he died, we were visiting him with my mom and sister, and he was barely speaking, more like whispering, still, and then suddenly he craved peaches. And it was really sad that we only had the canned ones, not fresh ones, because it was January. I remember mom feeding the peaches to him, he was so weak, just laying in the bed...

@jacob: Maybe your mom's one of those people who tend to think "what doesn't kill you..." on everything? XD

That story is pretty strong. But it seems like Ash has someone like that in his family so. Or more like, on a good way to be that person who doesn't make anyone miss them after they will die...

It's sad your mom is still suffering from her mother's actions. But I guess no one really lives down everything that their parents have really fucked up at some point. Or on many points. So that you can draw a line...
But also projecting your own experiences to everybody else is not that good either

I know Now I remembered we didn't even have peaches when he asked, so we offered other fruit to him, but he really wanted peaches and didn't want anything else (so it additionally felt like his last wish, especially all his closest family was there with him, and it felt like the last gathering together), so mom went to the store to get the canned ones.
I can give you even more feels with his death story. The worst part is, he wasn't that old, 68 only. Though that's still older than my paternal grandpa, who never got to know me because he passed away at 55yrs old(!), on the same year my older sister was born. Also lung cancer as far as I know. Apparently both my grandpas were dragons (I call smokers that).
But well, people die young as well. Ash's mom was only 39...

We really need to move away from that dying topic....

We should get our new lounge this week or next week :D I know we pay it off tomorrow. Depends if they can deliver it end of the week or not

That's cool! I want a new one too, a bigger one, because it gets really crowded there with all the cats and dogs, but since our cats destroy everything, there is little point in wasting the money (not that I had any to spend anyway...)
