For those of who remember, last August my aunt Shari died suddenly from ... well, just about everything. Her rheumatoid arthritis was cutting off circulation to her limbs, her kidneys were failing and she was diagnosed with lung cancer while in the hospital for something else.

Any who, today is her birthday. The first one we have without her in my lifetime. And, on a whim, I watched Jersey Boys. The song Sherry was prominent in the film.

I don't know, sometimes the universe just arranges things.

Sometimes we may have a handle on our grief, but then we are diverted off track by a particularly poignant memory. After the tears clear, I look for the happiness in the memory, to celebrate life. It helps somehow.

Happy Birthday to your Auntie Jason ON​​.

There are no tears, Melissa Beagle​. Shari was sick. The universe gave her a bad batch of DNA. Her death was expected.

This post was more about the randomness of things and they sometimes relate to each other.

It's amazing how much makes sense the older one becomes. I spent so many years missing my Dad, feeling so cheated, until I realized he left me with everything I needed. 
I realize it was his life, his time, and his journey. Once I could let go and accept, so many things made so much sense. 
That's when I could step into my own journey.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
