Hah--I feel like the mantel is at least a place of relative honor. "I think she's on a shelf in Aunt Pam's closet" is...not.
We're proud to say that the Class of '99 has the lowest mortality rate of any graduating class in Sunnydale history.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
actually I don't care about the face. You know what they used to say: they used every part of the pig except the curl of the tail and the squeal. As far as I'm concerned, when I'm gone use as much of as will be of value to anyone as is practical. Anything that is useful to treat patients take. Anything useful for medical research take. Anything that is useful for educational purposes take. If my bones are not in good enough shape for anatomy classes, let Buddhist monks convert them into cups and and flutes and so on. (It is part of some (probably not a majority) of Buddhist tradition to craft things out of human bones to remind themselves the life is fleeting and that "everything that is of a nature to arise is of a nature to cease". ) What's left ideally compost, but if that is too expensive then burn or bury at sea - let the scavengers use any part of me that is not of use to humans. I'd be cool with the whole vulture thing too, but vultures are too far away, and transporting my body to an area where they live would not be green.

I am completely up for going to a med school for study. The University of Utah has a program for this. I need to see what formalities are involved with that.

My dad is donating his body to the med school. It was pretty straightforward to set up.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Just for the love of god don't stick my ashes in a closet and leave them there
Seriously. Although I think a lot of families have stories like that. Mine does.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Also, a trust for dealing with financial assets can have nothing to do with a medical directive.
My limited experience is that they are separate things.
sj, FFS. That's just a stupid thing to say to *anyone*.

In my snooping case they were separate documents in one bound set of important papers.

Seriously, who says to someone who is handicapped, "The best blessing in the world is to have a normal child"?
Someone who's about to have his or her reproductive organs ripped out with a button hook?
Also, normal? Who wants that?
