*Grins knowingly at Pandora*
Yes, but I've heard that the tax man knoweth no boundries. He'll get you even after your "departed"...
*Queue X-Files music*
Pandora, you seem to have a knack of constantly surprising me. How on Earth did you get this funeral director to suggest his friend video you? Would it be a digital recording that could be sent over the internet?

Pandora Posted Jul 2, 2000
I didn't suggest the video be made...George Eastman, the Funeral Director has been pushing me in that direction! My suggestion was a big party...but George said,"Knowing YOUR friends, we'd all be arrested!!!" HA! I haven't agreed to make a video. I asked if I HAD to wear clothes?!? Then poor George was all sputters & stutters
His brother Don led the way when we put my Mom into the family plot.
Since he was coming back to our Village anyway...I asked if I could ride home w/him in the herse. (You should have seen all my families snobby eyebrows! HA! Everybody else had already driven way out of their way for the funeral...why have them bring me 70 miles out of their way, when the herse would be coming right past my house?!?) The BEST part was when I offered to buy Don lunch at McDonalds drive thru!
We had to pull forward to wait for the fish to be cooked (one of the rare HOT meals I've EVER had from a fast food joint)! So, there we sat
next to the window-place filled w/people and us sitting in a herse filled to the brim with flowers! HA! My Mom would have loved it!!! The
other thing that ticked the realatives off was-I only allowed a few of the flower arrangements to be left at the grave...I had Don take the rest to the nursing home & pass them out to folks that never get any attention. So, my family can't stand me. Funny-cause everyone else seems to like me alright. Of course EVERYone else isn't trying to control me!!! Cheers Dears!!!

I can imagine the scene at MacDonald's with the two of you sitting in a herse!
As for the flowers. You did the right thing there and stuff what people think. (I have a similar problem with my family frowning upon my life-style.)

Pandy, you've got a sister here who loves you. The flowers were a wonderful idea. There are so many forgotten souls in nursing homes.
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TO ALL THE WONDERFUL AMERICANS IN MY LIFE. You know who you are. CHEERS FOR A THOUSAND MORE YEARS.
The Friendship Festival was wonderful. I went to the free concert last night and also enjoyed the fireworks from the American side. The really big stuff is tonight, of course. I think a round of balloons is called for. And several toasts.

Didn't anyone ever tell you that it's unhealthy to hold your breath for too long?

LOL Ummmm. I think I'll mix up a pitcher of rum punch. It's nice now that the weather has caught up to summer. If only we could get rid of these mosquitoes. Ooops, caught myself whining. Bad alicat. Gwennie, would you like a game of horseshoes? There aren't enough of us for volleyball. Where does cloughie keep the shoes?

you'll be alright Pandora, just keep thinking 'theres no place like home, there's no place like home'. After all, home isn't where it would be if it wasn't where it is.

LOL cloughie, the lawn looks great. Nice grass. (Thanks for the chat at Willow Farm. We'll certainly have to make a habit of that. ) I think Pan could use a little gas while she sleeps. Let me just take a whiff to be sure it still works. A toast to the host with the most...beautiful women. I'm sure Gwennie and Pandy will drink to that one.

Boy, I wish I was up earlier! But I'm here now. Thanks for the lawn compliment, but I still have to do the backyard. Nice to see you all keep coming back, you are beautiful. A toast! *raises glass*
I had a GREAT dinner last night! It was my girlfriend and my 3rd year anniversary - of domestic partnership! I took her to the Cambridge Hotel(most expensive place in town) and we had filet mignon with fried oysters. Awesome it was. Then we got home and made mad passionate love, what an evening!
I look forward to chatting again alicat, do you think we can get Pandora and Gwennie over there? I'll try to send Pandy an invite, but I don't have Gwennie's address. See you all soon!
