Last night I found out that my grandfather once had mercury poisoning so bad that he had to be careful not to pull his teeth out by accident. He was a miner and a smoker for most of his (notably short) life.
My mom and dad are moving to Seattle. Dad got a job on the north end, so he'll be sleeping in Tiny's room for a week or so until they find a house to rent here. Last night as we were going to sleep (my mom slept with me and my dad slept in the other room. ) my mom said "It's so funny. Your father and I got engaged and started our life together in Seattle, and now all our children are grown and gone and we're coming back here again."

B of all: will they still just show up on your doorstep?
Posted by: ida at July 7, 2004 08:13 PMTurns out I've married into a family full of cousins that have migrated to Seattle. Aside from the traffic I hear it's great. When I'm out there someday I'll look for Imploding Heart in the phone book and I'll show up at your doorstep!
(don't freak out I'm just kidding)
Hope you enjoy having your parents nearby!
That is so cool.
