"What next? Adverisements for how-to-get-away-with-adultery clinics during romantic movies?"

Beat me to it.

[liamtreasure]

You spelt advertisements wrong too.

[axver]

Not any more!

[liamtreasure]

What's not any more?

I think it is so sad! I mean, elderly people and well, even middle aged people need to really consider what they'll want when they die to happen. I mean, I have seen first hand what happens when things get really bad after someone dies without a proper will. I just think it is so sad that they have to do the TV thing. I mean, why do that have to always look so cheery? It is like that are having fun talking about themselves dieing! I just think there could be a better way to informing people that they need to think about this stuff...

Heh, it's so bizarre. "My husband died, but we went to a funeral director and they suggested the children do this presentation and everything was great! :D"

You'd think some things don't need to be advertised on TV.

[sblood]

Exactly!

Ah, the wonders of Capitalism. Try this new candy bar from Mars. Good stuff this.

Anyway. I just realized I had to read half of the book.

[axver]

Mmmm, chocolate.

How much have you read?

[screendoor3]

Indeed.

I'm on 170 and I have to read up to 261, in three hours--less than.

[axver]

Well, that doesn't sound too hard. Not as bad as reading the whole thing anyway!

What about #10420? I don't think I heard that one.

[screendoor3]

Or #10419?

[axver]

What if it's the only reason and the number is a randomly generated value?

[purplicious]

Well, that would just be silly. Good thing you didn't do that.
