That sign about the liquor sales reminded me of my community. Currently there is huge discussion at the county board meetings about finally allowing liquor sales on Sunday after 12pm. Yet there are STILL members of the community that are upset about the possibility of it and keep writing into the newspaper about the sins of alcohol. Oy!

Hey, I actually like the idea of PJ's and lying on my side. It's like the eternal cozy nappy time. :)

The hard part for me would be deciding which side to lie on for all eternity. I'm thinking my right side since everytime I lay on my left side, I burp more.

Weird, I know.

As for funerals...it's the same thing around here. "She looks

So funny and right on the money!
My husband had a second cousin so many times removed we lost count, who was an actual full blooded Cherokee and was buried in full Cherokee Chief regalia. Now THAT was something to see!

This was too funny.

2010-02-08T10:10:07.318-05:00

That. Is. Fantastic...I always thought that was weird too. My grandmother died from lymphoma, had no hair and was 30 pounds lighter than normal, and everyone said "oh, she looks so good!" No. No she did not.

LOLOL! Bring it. I happen to have a real fondness for ghosts... we go way back.

And I agree with you on this slightly disturbing, yet comical post. Who cares how someone is buried anyway? I don't get it.

Oh my.... what a thought, buried in clown make up.

That is hilarious! I say do it!

2010-02-07T19:01:08.181-05:00

I think we'd get along great if we ever met :-) You think it's a southern thing, our warped sense of humor? Or maybe a better word is 'eccentric'.

We had to decide what would happen if we die in Argentina and we chose cremation. Mainly because we're cheap and it's way too expensive to ship a dead body back to the U.S. just to plant 'em in the ground.

2010-02-07T17:55:15.116-05:00

I have heard..."I have never seen him look more at peace" and "He looks so trim"(He lost 85 lbs with cancer, I think I know why he lost weight before he died)

I find it interesting how we always end up going to a party after the funeral.

Yep. It's a suhthan thing. And I remember famili...

2010-02-07T17:35:48.500-05:00

Yep. It's a suhthan thing.

And I remember families bringing the loved one's body home to lie in state for a few days before the funeral.

Not a funeral home. Their home.

Sweet dreams.

2010-02-07T17:26:55.900-05:00

Yeah, I'm not feeling the new Dear Abby either.
As for the things people say at funerals - I don't get them either.
I LOVE your idea of the clown make-up. The other idea is being butt naked and mooning everyone! WooHoo!

2010-02-07T16:07:45.475-05:00

I think I want to get cremated. My poor husband will have to fight tooth and nail against my parents, but I'll be gone, so that's his battle to win I guess! :o) Morbid, but truthful you are...

2010-02-07T13:50:29.945-05:00

That is a hoot. I find that the uncomfortableness of funeral talk is what seems to make stories like this so funny. Those "she looked just like herself" comments are a a hoot to me. It is like...who else is she supposed to look like?

I have always wanted to plan a funny party type funeral that makes everybody get on with the laughing...I love to laugh...and it would be the

2010-02-07T09:34:44.865-05:00

Clown suit? Things would definitely be less morose. It would lighten up the mood a bit at the funeral....or people would think your hubby was nuts! I totally support it!

2010-02-07T09:00:39.629-05:00

I was wondering if those columns are even real anymore. Do ppl actually sit there and write a letter with their problems and mail it in? I thought everyone had a therapist these days! :-)

2010-02-07T00:11:45.743-05:00

I already have a "plan" written out -music, bits about me to give to the pastor, etc. I also want at the funeral dinner a time when my kids can speak about me, when friends and family can say what they will remember, etc. and hopefully, no one will be totally ticked off at me at the time. I have a bad habit -smoking -and I have often said too that when I die, I would like a carton of my

2010-02-06T23:58:59.301-05:00

I am changing my will.I never even though about being buried in my pajamas. I spend so much time in them that it's only natural.
Good call on the clown costume

Come by I have something for you
