Don't know why all y'all are so worried about this. If all y'all died in Nova Scotia they just feed your decaying corpse to the sharks that like to vacation off our coast.

So was mine, Billy. We wouldn't feed The John or one of his biggest turds to the sharks. The sharks haven't done anything to us. They just come and vacation here. This summer it was a Great White the locals and media named Hilton.

That story was all over the local news yesterday.
When Mom dies about 6 years ago, they insisted that we have a viewing prior to cremation to avoid a mix up like the one out west at that time. Of course this meant paying the makeup artist and renting a coffin so I could go view and confirm that it was her.

That's what they insisted on. Wife worked with the wife of one of the funeral directors where her mother went. He said he'd identify her mother for her ...no need for viewing etc. Saved almost $2K.

This is all symbolic anyway. I agree the whole funeral business is a

Corpses are the ultimate biodegradable item. It is only when we go out
of out way to preserve them that they last more than a few weeks.
It is a good thing or we would be up to our ass in dead things.

I always thought the whole concept was pretty morbid. When the doctor
told my mom was dead, I believed him. I didn't need to see for myself.


When the funeral home tried to sell me a casket for my mother, I asked, "Why, she's going to be
cremated. Why buy a casket that will be burnt?


The VA conveyed my dad's remains in a cardboard box along with a flag.
It actually worked out fine. It was the same with my mom, sans flag.
We chartered a 6 pack and buried my dad in the gulf with his flag
flying from the tuna tower. My mom went off the dock behind her home.

My sister was sort of amazed that I had her ashes in some antique
cookie jar when she got down here. Evidently I was supposed to know it
was some kind of special family heirloom. I told her, what is more
special than mom?
I planned on burying the whole thing but she took the cookie jar home.
I think the whole secret about the jar went to the grave with my
sister because there were cookies in the jar the last time I was up
there. I just smiled.

Don't know why all y'all are so worried about this. If all y'all died in
Nova Scotia they just feed your decaying corpse to the sharks that like
to vacation off our coast.


Lighten up. Was a funny comment. You and Harry need to see the wizard
for a humor gene.

So was mine, Billy. We wouldn't feed The John or one of his biggest
turds to the sharks. The sharks haven't done anything to us. They just
come and vacation here. This summer it was a Great White the locals and
media named Hilton.


Your comment was nasty, not funny. You need to see the Wizard


Oh no...did I upset you, or hurt your feelings?
Have another drink...it'll pass.


Both wrong on the drinking and hurt my feelings. Your comment was just
nasty. No humor included.

This is all symbolic anyway. I agree the whole funeral business is a

can be cremated remains conveyed in a zip lock bag or just hire a guy
with a back hoe and dump me in the hole.

Was interesting when we went to the town of Bodio Switzerland where my
wife’s great grandmother emigrated from. Oldest grave in a very old
graveyard was only about 1875. When we went to Salzburg the local guide
said was oldest continuously used graveyard in Europe. From about 1 AD.
But gravestones only went back to about 1850. She said only the last 5
people buried in the grave get a marker. Repurposed to the max.

Surely you got a chuckle out of the story.

That story was all over the local news yesterday.
When Mom dies about 6 years ago, they insisted that we have a viewing prior to cremation to avoid a mix up like the one out west at that time. Of course this meant paying the makeup artist and renting a coffin so I could go view and confirm that it was her.

Why a makeup artist and coffin rental, if the whole purpose is just to ensure the body is the
correct one?


It's BS.

That's what they insisted on. Wife worked with the wife of one of the funeral directors where her mother went. He said he'd identify her mother for her ...no need for viewing etc. Saved almost $2K.

The idea was to make sure the right body was going to
cremation...and hopefully to get the correct ashes back. Plus of
course to gouge as much as they can while they can.

More like dusty.
22 semi auto rifle with 10 shot clip and 6x scope.
Also have 20 gauge single shot shotgun that the wife gave me when we were going out together.
Neither have been fired in at least 30 years...maybe closer to 40.
Just yesterday I was looking at the two little boxes of 22 long rifle high velocity shells that are stored away from the rifle.
Paid $2.09 for a box of 50 made in Mexico Anguella? brand.

were going out together.
Neither have been fired in at least 30 years...maybe closer to 40.
Just yesterday I was looking at the two little boxes of 22 long rifle
high velocity shells that are stored away from the rifle.
Paid $2.09 for a box of 50 made in Mexico Anguella? brand.








Clip? I've never seen .22's on clips.


Might be a magazine. Referring to it as,a clip.


Bingo!
With over 70 guns in his collection you'd think Ditzy Dan Kruger could figure that out.


Would that single shot be an H&R Topper?
