If only a LifeGem could be utilized in some sort of DeathRay and sold to some supervillian....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm getting the pig!
I have my grandparents in a necklace.
No, really. A little bit of both of their ashes (not asses, as originally typed... but I suppose it could be their asses) in a small WELL SEALED metal vial, on a chain. I rarely wear it but I'm glad I have it.
Hey, at least it's not my bf's or dh's blood, right?

Be careful what you wish for Hec. Who knows what else she's got up her sleeve besides soopersekrit deathrays powered by ashes. She might have hands. With nails. Ouch.

Well, according to Hec, I'm a possible Necromancer *and* a possible overlord.
Who needs nails?

I wonder why that sting index doesn't have scorpions on it.
I had multiple yellowjacket stings once and they hurt like a mother.

No real bees, either. I have to believe that some bees are more painful than fire ants!

The LifeGem is surprisingly pretty, but kind of creepy. My aunt's church just created a memorial garden. You can get your ashed ground up (to avoid visible bone bits) and then mixed in with the soil. I think it's kind of neat that my dad's generation wants to do that. But they're also planning on paying thousands of dollars to dig up my grandparents and move them there, and that seems somehow to defeat the purpose.
I went to a Saturday night special event at the Desert Museum, and saw large exotic evening primroses literally popping open while eager, large sphinx moths flittered nearby trying to get first swig of the nectar. There were also owls and bats (wild) swooping over our heads, and all the inhabitants of Cat Canyon were really active.
This sounds so cool. I've been there during the day (if it's the one not far from Tucson,AZ) and it was great then, but this sounds even better.
