For those of you who have been attentive to Dotty Fairchild's condition of late, I regret to announce that it has taken a turn for the worse. We were informed earlier that she has unfortunately lapsed into a coma after a steady decline in her condition. It has been recommended that any final visits be paid shortly, though I would implore a modicum ( Read more... )

Regret? Fuck. Makes me wanna drop everything and come back.

I'll think about it.

You think about it all you want.

I'm letting the door-to-door salesmen camp in your room until you're ready.

Is that supposed to be a joke about how sucky John is keeping undesirables away? In that case, you need another room for the Jehovah's Witnesses, too.

Bob. fathergander March 26 2008, 18:07:06 UTC

No. I don't make jokes. It's not my thing.

I imagine by now you miss throwing out people who aren't extremely drunk and deserving.

Damn it. You mentioned 'home', so I'm guessing she hasn't been moved to a hospital.

Do you know visiting hours, off hand?

fathergander March 26 2008, 17:54:19 UTC

No, unfortunately not. With no kin to lobby for assisted living, the best they can do is make her comfortable now.

I do not - I have Delilah looking into it, but Edwina could illuminate you just as easily.

How old is she? 95? She's lived a good, long life.

Thank you. You've seen her recently, have you?

fathergander March 26 2008, 18:08:43 UTC

She would have b She'll be 95 in June.

Define directly.

Let me put it this way: if you do anything which I, in my wisdom, deem to have been a bad idea in any manner, I'll have you tied up in the garden and offered nothing more than a steady diet of tin cans.

Re: Anser-Goats kid_skin March 26 2008, 18:04:26 UTC

What kind of tin cans?

Re: Anser-Goats fathergander March 26 2008, 18:12:11 UTC

The ones that taste awful and go straight to your thighs.

Oh no. I'm so sorry to hear about Dotty; I may drop by and try to pass myself off as a 'former schoolchild who met her when I used to visit the home,' if that's alright? I'd like to see her even if she isn't likely to know that I'm there.

fathergander March 26 2008, 23:18:22 UTC

I'm sure she'd appreciate that.
