    I guess I shouldn't be too grumpy at Joe. He does blog for his fans every day. And he did send me signed copies of Dark Matter. *starts feeling better*

      That's right You get a daily dose of Joe and can reply to him any time - what makes this kind of thing with Martin so special is that it doesn't happen often, so it's really big when it does. Especially when he makes a point of mentioning us, again

              You've done me it - I had to go raid the chocolate jar. (I don't have a cookie jar on my counter - took a big glass biscotti jar and keep refilling it with good chocolates. I've got Dove darks in there as well as Russell-Stovers...)

                  Just had a listen to that interview. Martin is just awesome

                  Cannot believe just how busy I am at the moment, but I don't seem to be getting anything finished!

                  Quick question...
                  Spoiler:


                  Was informed by Mother last night that my Uncle had passed away after a short battle with cancer, and that as a sign of respect we will all be going to the funeral.

                  To me personally it's not great loss as my Mothers' side of the family treated us terribly after the death of my Grandfather 16 years ago (accusations of stolen money and threats of court etc) and I have had no contact with any of them in over 15 years. My parents marriage almost fell apart in the months after my grandfathers' death because of the way her family were treating us and not one of them came to my sisters' wedding 5 years ago (or even replied to the invites sent!). On a more personal I honestly can't afford to take anymore time off this month (Ellie has had hospital apps) and we are horrendously busy and short staffed anyway so I can't even guarantee they will allow me the time off as it is not immediate family.

                  My question is.
                  Am I a bad person for saying that I can't go?

                    No MR, you are not a bad person for saying you can't go. Attending the funeral as a sign of respect for someone you don't respect wood make you a hypocrite IMO. I didn't go to my mother's funeral for that reason, and I didn't feel like a bad person

                    It's snowing again

                    And yes, he is Awesome

                    I've clipped the relevant part of the interview and put it on my phone..... does that make me obsessive?

                      I agree with Jumble here - don't be a hypocrite by trying to show respect for someone that did not have your respect to begin with. If they cannot honor the living by coming to the wedding, why should you honor the dead by going to a funeral that you really cannot afford to take the time off to do?

                        Er, yes just a bit but it is the Woohoo Way!


                        *huggles* MR. Agree with Jumble and Nola on this one. If they can't even be ars...bothered to RSVP to say they're not coming to a family celebration, then I think you wash your hands of them completely. No loss for you is it.

                        I have yet to listen to the commentary all the way through. Fell asleep with the laptop in bed last night. Woke up an hour later, couldn't get back to sleep, ended up having a Firefly marathon... why oh why did they cancel it.

                          Fourthing what everyone else said, MR, don't go, and don't feel guilty about it.

                            *huggles* Thanks guys.

                            I know that my decision has upset my Mother but unfortunately, even after all this time, I still resent how much damage was done to my family (and my childhood) by the whole situation.

                            Trying get some serious housework done, I have been ignoring it for far too long and it looks like lots of small nuclear bombs have gone off in various corners of my house! The fact I have Ellies' dad coming round tomorrow has not influenced my decision to do it today at all!

                              It is, and I'm sure he'd be disappointed in me if I didn't continue to be a little OTT about him

                              Using your laptop in bed is not conducive to a good night's sleep

                              Exactly

                              Btw, how are you feeling now? Completely over it I hope

                              Only small nuclear bombs? You're supposed to wait until it looks like a BIG one has gone off

                              Actually, I'm about to start doing some of that (insert unmentionable word) because I have a family coming for an interview this afternoon. I don't usually do interviews at the week-end, but they currently live in Oxford and can only make it down today. They're moving into my area in a couple of months, so it makes sense to find care for their children here
