Thursday is my Uncle's mini-viewing / service. I'm hoping to not spend more than an hour at the Funeral Parlor. I've always found that rather morbid, sitting through a memorial service in front of an open casket. Some people have this really odd belief they need to get one last look at their loved ones before internment... even if they look about as real as either Ken or Barbie. Sorry, but memories should be based on our younger years, before age begins to slowly take toll, before there are wrinkles, and grey hair, and bald spots. I do that a lot at work, look at older people and wonder what they were like in their youth, when they could dance the night away. Not that I have any problem with aging. I'm going to blow through my senior years with as much excitement and energy as possible. This is what life is supposed to be about, not worrying about your cholesterol, or blood pressure.
I just read through some interesting reports about stents and by-pass surgery and how they really don't do anything to extend your life. They do make doctors and surgeons a lot of money though. Oh... sorry for the bad news Bernie.
And I thought I'd model another pair of socks for you. These are my Bigfoot socks.
Snazzy, huh? I'll be wearing these in about 10 hours on my evening ride. And doesn't my leg look awfully fat? It isn't.
And I saw the Idiot Jerk's administration has decided to go against International Law by giving a big 'thumbs up' to settlements by Israel. This is once again something geared towards his minority Conservative base. There's some sort of prophecy which states that the 2nd Coming will happen after all Jews have returned home. That's never going to happen. If you look at the emigration stats of Israel it's fairly obvious that while new kids are moving into their block, even more are moving out. The Conservative religious grip is growing tenuous. People don't want to raise their kids in a war zone, neither to they really like the mandatory military service. Of course, you try telling that to the Crazy Christians in this country and their eyes just go blank. Those words don't even register because they don't jive with their personal beliefs.
Oh, you know that from now on it's going to be all dog whistles and pandering from Cheeto to his racist, xenophobic and ignorant base. We cannot expect less from him.
ReplyDeleteLove the socks! Aren't you all stylish and shit?
And I cannot take viewings. I just can't. I have not been to one in the last ten years.
XOXO
If they whistled for my dogs, they'd get a big bite taken out of their asses.
Deleteviewings/funerals suck ass. spouse has 2 stents. love the sox; no, your leg is NOT fat. and the dump and his dumplings do everything opposite everybody else.
ReplyDeleteHopefully this thing will only suck the life out of an hour of my day.
DeleteThanks for the compliment about my legs.
_____. He's seriously losing it with women WOMEN coming after him.
ReplyDeleteHe's beginning to lose it with more and more, and faster and faster.
DeleteI never went to see either of my parents when they died. Nor my brother. I don't want to see them like that. I want to remember them as they were. And I'm still happy with that decision. After going to a viewing for a neighbour that died of cancer, my friend did make me laugh though, as she said she never wanted a viewing when she dies, but then changed her mind as "that's the only time people will see me skinny"!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. And people lie. They say things like "he looks so real." No they don't.
DeleteI needed to thank you for this very good read!!
ReplyDeleteI certainly loved every bit of it. I've got you bookmarked to check out new stuff you post…
