Below is the text of the eulogy, given by The Most Reverend C. Willy.

Friends, neighbours, lurkers, we come together on this most lacrimose of occasions to bury our beloved Chill Blaine, the Snowbeing. As I look upon this gathering I am reminded of the words of St. Reversus of Sublimatus, the patron saint of all Snowbeings and other Canadians. This too shall melt, wait and see. Snowbeing, Snobey to his many friends was beloved by all. He was the confidant of those from many stations and most recently served as advisor to Ontario's one-time Minister of Transportation John Snobelen, who learned how to snow the general public from Snobey. Snobey was taken from us much too soon, struck down in the prime of life by the same forces who struck down our own St. Reversus, the Vandals. Now as I intern our fallen brother may I ask his three ex-wives (Glacia, Hoarmione and Shoshana), and his two babies' mommas (Laquesha and Bridget Moynihan) to come forward.

From blizzard to blizzard, snowflake to snowflake.

That's so cool Emancipation, thanks! star_smile.gif
I will check it out.

Enjoy your journey CarlaWarla.
My sweetie and I are heading South on the 22nd for 2 weeks and a bit.
I am counting the minutes! cool.gif

Your new name Krikit, err, Crikey is bizarre. huh.gif
That's what I needed...more adjustments. Bahahaha!

As for all the comments about SnowBeing (s/he was so young didn't even have a chance to name it), I have to say that I was breaking out in spontaneous giggles all night long and gain this morning upon waking up.
"playing with his snowballs"..."eating Sno-Balls" ...the RIP and flower...the wake..the eulogy...all the tears...all the love

I am truly going to have to plan to get all of us together in the same geographical spot and throw a 2-3 day party.
This VJ family ROCKS!


Just one more photo of SnowBeing and I will stop.
It is just too, snif snif, painful.
I am going to put a sign out that says, "Crime Scene" and see if I catch anyone going by...their expressions.




Please hug me
~SnowBeing

Good morning! We stayed up kind of late playing wow, today we have to go get groceries - however! We have a chinook coming in, should be minus 1 later today, in theory - however it is -22 right now and I'm not going anywhere until it warms up a bit.


Krikit
Ohhh, nice one Trailmix! I'm in for continental breffrus! That looks yummy.

Just back from church and Walfart. I need to find a church where the minister doesn't make me fall into a coma. Or, even worse.... totally absconds!!!! I kid you not. I showed up at the door one day and they were gone! It was the only church in town that was related to my religion (Anglican). And they all up and left. I was gobsmacked. blink.gif Only in America. *sigh*

ohmy.gif your church absconded - ok that's just kind of...weird!!

There was just the silliest commercial on the radio for Tim Hortons 'rechargable' payment card.

'Hey honey, what are you getting at Tim Horton's tomorrow for lunch'

Blah Blah, he is refilling the card - online - so depending on what his wife is going to eat, he will either put more money on it - if she is going to be really hungry - or less etc etc.

Can you imagine having that conversation? Can you imagine that some advertising person got paid for coming up with that? blink.gif

Crazy huh? The Episcopal church is the US version of the Anglican church, so I went there a few times while I've been "shopping" for a new church. I didn't feel that comfortable there but let's just say I was less uncomfortable there than at any of the other churches I've been to around here. So it's not as if I'm going to be following them to wherever they've gone.... for many reasons. One being.... how in the world do you trust a vigilante minister and his followers? Are they going to have me move to Guyana and drink Kool-aid next? blink.gif I also do not care to be associated with any congregation who turns their back on any member of society, let alone homosexuals. Sheesh.

So we went to Sobeys. They had a nice sale on, for instance the grain bread, which is normally $2.49 was $1 a loaf, a bunch of celery was $1. nice!

As we are driving down the road to the store there is a young boy waving our car down - by an alley - turns out they need a boost for their pickup - so we do that.

So we are standing in a (long) line, waiting to pay and my Husband hadn't had anything to eat (I grabbed a peanut butter and jam sandwich that I ate in the car) so I go off to the deli to get him a slice of pizza. On the way I pass Wayne Cao (MLA for Calgary-Fort). When I get back with the pizza my Husband mentions he just say Wayne Cao - who was walking back the other way just then.

So I say to my Husband, you don't think he is here just to be seen amongst the people? He is thinking the same thing. Wayne didn't buy anything, he just did a walk through the store.

Anyhoo, it's a little warmer than this mornings -22 - it's -15, still nippy.
