How frigging great is THAT? Let’s see, if I was going to have an obituary with a purpose, it might be, “In her memory, please fold your own effing laundry.”

“…that which we call a rose
by any other name would smell as sweet…”
Well, a Rose by any other name, except Republican.
Love it.

Well, if Rose insists, who am I to argue?

Rose is my favorite person ever. Brilliant. Do you think that was really, really her request?

I would’ve anyway, but I’ll also do it for Rose.
