Annunciation?


Wasn't that part of the joke?


No joke, I really am that awkward. I'm just going to smoke herb in the metaphysical corner if that's cool with everyone. I have no clear idea what's going on in my life in the absence of people who can interpret me before I can.

My uncle (dad's brother in law) is v sick

he is among the top best men alive (I mentioned him here before- I said something like, he is a better, more intelligent, more educated, more cheerful and sweetly funny version of Atticus Finch).

My second son's middle name is after him.

(I couldn't make it the first name because that's after my cousin who is also a v good man, although in a totally different way.(

He is a PhD professor of physics and he came from a village and he worked his way to that with his incredible mind.
He is the best husband possible to his wife

(who met him in the village called Tandojam and he was the neighbour of my dad's family. And she is not intelligent at all, in fact she is very pretty and cute but unintelligent, but she is good at decorating and designing clothes. Apparently they never directly spoke to each other once, but they knew they liked each other, so he sent the proposal to her family.
But my grandfather, her dad, told her she could only marry him if first she completed a Degree. So my uncle's best friend helped her cheat on everything so she could graduate and get married. :roll: )

He is a very humane man, very amazing to everyone, very gracious, very loving, very noble.

Also v intelligent, genius level. Stephen Hawking level. He's actually written a book about some theory related to physics and connecting it to philosophy but I don't know what it's called.

Also he became paralyzed from a stroke and my dad helped him do rehabilitation because my dad says he thinks of him as Pip thought of Joe Gargery, in 'Great Expectations.'

If anyone here has read that book they would have some idea of how pure my uncle's heart is, for him to be compared to Joe Gargery. Not education-wise, but the generous and pure soul.

He is also graceful, tall, and handsome despite being rigid in walking due to his health problems. I think if anyone met him, the words 'angel' and 'pure class' would pop in their mind first.

He is such a good person right now he is in ICU because his CO2 level is too high and he is in pain, because his lungs stopped working.

I'm sad that he's in pain but when I mentioned it to my dad he said, 'but you know for people like that, death will lead them to a better world.'

Like that's how good he is. Even my XH had recognized how good of a man he is, and let me name my son after him, and that cousin of mine.

So I'm v sad but I'm trying to think positive and imagine his soul entering a better world where he will never be in pain.

Not awkward, it managed to smoothly sound like a joke. I actually had to look the word up so you're ahead of me.

The joke implied was the pronouncing of the word enunciate as annunciate - i.e. irony

It's raining but no snow- the snow comes and melts every couple of days. The weather seems like March or April, not December.
I took out the trash and my recycling bin was a mini swimming pool.

I heard garbage men make a lot of money, just like plumbers. I want to do a stint as a garbage woman. I need the cash and I'm sure I can endure anything. I just don't want the coworkers to be rough and bullying types, which I'm guessing might happen in that job.

Actually I remember being surprised when a lawyer-in-training told me and my sister that he liked the workplace environment, and that everyone was very easygoing. You would never guess them to be easygoing as they are so frightening to non-lawyers. So maybe I'm wrong about the garbage men too.

If there's a solitary job that requires menial labour, and solitary, that would be ideal.

Actually garbage men are very nice here e.g. they wave to the little kids like my son when we went on a walk. So maybe that's not even a concern and I'm just making excuses for not applying
