If your grandpa loved John Wayne movies, never turned down a game of cribbage, took the utmost pride in his vegetable garden, and lived to go fishing then we probably are.
I agree that it's sad to see people act like this when someone they disagree with dies. Whatever Margaret Thatcher was she's dead now, she can no longer defend herself from attacks and it just feels wrong to see people take cheap shots at her. Personally while I don't exactly agree with all her politics I still think she was a very admirable and strong woman and I'm sorry she is gone.
I've been feeling nostalgic so this weekend I watched some of the really hold movies I used to watch with my grandpa, Darby O'Gill and the Little People, Trouble with Angels, The Quiet Man, McLintock, and Operation Petticoat. I love those old films.
I can say for me I was in no way ready in my early 20s to get married and looking back at myself I am so glad I didn't. I wasn't in any way to mature enough and with the combination of health issues, faith crises, and family issues that cropped up these last few years it would have put significant strain on a marriage. So I agree with Godless, it really does depend on when you are ready.
I'm torn between amusing thoughts of Jesus reaching out like elastigirl from The Incredibles to catch her if she doesn't make it and thinking that if she does reach Him, she's gonna knock them both off that pillar, looks really unstable there.
Odd, usually utilities aren't immediately shut off for just one missed payment. The article said they had money in savings to pay the utilities when they got back, why didn't they just use the money in savings to pay for their vacation and then replace the money when they got their refund. That way they would have had money in their account when their automatic payments came out. Either way I don't blame H&R for this at all, it's inconvenient that they had a systems issue but it's your job to make sure you have money in your account to cover your bills.
