I just want to be in the ground and rotting. I want my nitrogen to go back into the soil.

Yeah, I can see the appeal to that.

I wonder if there's a colony of feral cats I could be fed to....

I don't like the idea of being all alone in the ground. Not that I'd know it, but still. And as much as I like cemeteries, I think they're sort of troublesome -- once we move away from here, for instance, the chances of us visiting my MiL's grave are slim to none. Which seems wrong.

I like the idea of being cremated and my ashes spread somewhere I like, but I think it makes more sense to donate your body to science. You know, if they want it.

I told you not to look!

I couldn't help myself! It was like ita's links!

My father in law once expressed his desire to "remain whole" after he dies. My mother in law informed him that he had better die first because her brother's life was saved by a liver transplant.

DH and I are pretty much, "gut us like a fish and donate whatever you can. Cremate the rest and throw a party with the money you save by not having a big funeral."

I think my mom once said to me, "If you can't say anything nice about a man who may have just had a heart attack, don't say anything at all."

Rush Limbaugh Hospitalized: Taken To Hospital In Hawaii After Reported Chest Pains

Rush Limbaugh was rushed to a hospital in Hawaii on Wednesday after reportedly suffering from chest pains, according to KITV in Honolulu.

Paramedics reportedly responded to the call involving the talk show host at 2:41 p.m. at the Kahala Hotel and Resort, treated him, and transferred him to Queen's Medical Center.

Limbaugh apparently arrived at the hospital in "serious condition."

I think it makes more sense to donate your body to science. You know, if they want it.

HA! I don't think anyone wants my organs. I dunno how I feel about donating it to science though. But I can't articulate why. It might have something to do with Advanced Bio and the pickled fetal pigs.

My parents both donated their bodies the the University med school. then they were cremated after the school was done with them. they are now in a cardboard box in my brothers office. I'm lobbying to have them sent into space. I think they'd like that.

Med schools need lots of cadavers. My high school English teacher once said her daughter's med school class got a kick out of finding tatoos on their class corpses.

Why did I dick around tonight? I have to go to the grocery store tonight and I waited until late. I won't have time tomorrow because I'm getting the van's window replaced and then I'd have to take the kids to the store (which is the LAST thing I want to do).

HA! I don't think anyone wants my organs.

Between diabetes and smoking, I bet my organs aren't real attractive either, sadly. But med school students could learn something from them, I suppose.

I'm lobbying to have them sent into space.

AWESOME.

*bites tongue*

Can I poke fun at Karl Rove's divorce? 'Cause I'm really hoping he fits in with the Neocon pattern of screwing around on your spouse and then screaming about preserving the sanctity of marriage.

Me? I don't really care. Use me for science, do with the rest whatever floats your boat. I'd prefer cremation but not strongly. Just don't waste emotional cycles on it. Likely, it'll be up to my brother, the unsentimental bastard, so science will dispose of me into a biohazard bag. I like cemetaries, I like reading headstones. But I don't need one. I hope I can leave an equivalent mark in my lifetime.
