    You are a plugger if the folks in the obituaries were born after you were.

    First you’re looking in the paper to see who you know is getting married; then who you babysat for; then whose children are getting married. Then you start reading the obits.

    Went back to the city I grew up in some years back. Started trying to look up people I used to hang with. After finding most were no longer around, I quit. No sense ruining a good vacation.

    It’s even worse if you clearly remember what you were doing the year they were born.

    I’ve an old KFC tub that will suffice to contain my remains for my already prepped ‘hole in the ground’ at the Family Lot.I waz ‘home delivered’ and plan to be ‘somewhat similar’ on the way out. It’s not my plan to enrich Lawyers, Back-hoe operators and preachers who never knew me.

    They charge you just as much to bury an urn as a casket. And they charge double if there’s already an urn there. I speak from experience

    Friend of mine is on his way into the heartland to bury his brother, who died last night. Friend is three to six months older than I; brother was a year or so younger than friend. And I’m at the age where a new hip joint isn’t the latest place to jam, it’s my next surgery.

    I don’t like open caskets, either, and even less when people say "S/he looks so good! Sometimes it is a comfort when the departed has been in a great deal of pain and now looks relaxed, but generally, no. I ike when people tell all the funny stories about the person’s life. Nothing better than remembering someone with a smile.

    I’m going down the Mississippi River when I die. I will float for a while; but sooner or later, I’ll “bottom out”! Literally…
