 I'm sorry, Czech.

Over the summer, some birds took up residence in my chimney. We never got around to checking it out and cleaning it out. Which means that right now is the perfect day for a nice fire and I can't build one :(

---

 They are probably gone now.

Well, the birds might be gone.

But their nest is probably still in the chimney.

DG would be smart to wait, until they can clean it out, before she lights a fire.

If anyone is good at finding out where a veteran is buried, please PM me. DH and I have a dear friend who is a veteran and we just found out she died back in April 2015. Her "family" isolated her from her friends and we lost contact.

---

 I believe the Gov't keeps a registry.  Look on the services' website; if she was in the Air Force, look around on their site.

---

 Do you know what section of the site I would go to? I looked on the Air Force's site and didn't see anything related to burial site info but I could've missed it.

---

  I believe  there is a site called  findagrave.Com or something  like that.

 Couldn't find her on it. The mortuary site had her listed LastName FirstName so I searched both FirstName LastName and LastName FirstName. Nothing came up.

 I don't.  How about googling cemeteries in the area her family is?It is public record. Don't be surprised if there isn't a burial site.  Cremation is very popular now.

---

 I found the mortuary they had her funeral service at but no mention of where she's buried or her ashes interred. It's possible her family could've kept her ashes (if they went that route) but I doubt that. They didn't give one rip about her and viewed her as an inconvenience.

---

 Costs money to intern ashes.  If the family is as you say, they probably kept the ashes, maybe spread them.

---

 As a veteran, don't they cover that though?

It's 39 out there. It's supposed to be going all the way down to 26 tonight.

Can we fast forward to Spring?

Clearly you need to have pizza delivered.

 I made homemade mac and cheese, but it was difficult. It's going to take all weekend and I don't want to eat out every night, so I need to make do.

 No, there is a supplement I believe but only for a married member.  Not clear on the details.  They can be buried in Arlington but there would still be a cost to the family for the funeral and casket.

 Did you take the before pics?

 As soon as you posted this I realized that I didn't! But we put our house on the market for a short while last year, so I went to search for those pictures- which I deleted. So I went to google to see if any would still show up- a few did, but none of the kitchen. Then I found the video tour we had done, so I paused that and took screen shots! I will post as soon as we get it done.

 IKWTDS, I don't think she'll look any different, it's just her attitude that's changed.

 Hahahaha!

My poor dad. I introduced him to Sherlock, he asked when the new episodes start :(

You would think they would listen to all of us angry people and make them faster.

 I'm just grateful they're making them at all with how busy and in demand both stars are now.
