Planning

This is going to sound like a weird post .....

So, I am finally recovered enough for me to get back to my planning for my end.
The new lawyer is less than quick, getting my paperwork complete however.
And yet, maybe none of this is necessary - should I get a transplant .....

Given my druthers, in the event of death, I would just as soon be thrown out with the trash.
So meeting with a funeral parlor, today, to find out what the laws are.

Yeah, God ran a set of spurs across my backside - a less than subtle reminder over the weekend -  that I had already died of suffocation once this year!
Darn lungs pulled another shutdown on me!
Such an undesirable way to die!!!!!!
To drown in your own fluids - retch!

I met with the funeral lady.
I could not help but notice the striking resemblance to the Banshee of Gaelic lore.

She nervously commented, that in all of her years, she had never had a talking customer!
So, I switched into funny Kris mode, to put her at ease.
It worked and she was laughing so hard, she was having to take breaks to catch her wind!
Yeah, I can be hysterical,if I want to be ....
Which ain't often, that is for sure.

So thought you might like a comparison number here:
$2,727.50

That is for the stripped down minimum.  You are cremated in a cardboard box, they cover all paperwork and transportation. Luckily, as my life was failing at the beginning of this year, I started saving money and already have more than enough - with a taco festival to follow the inevitable memorial service ..... probably at the church I have buzzed in and out of since 1992 (for many years I worked in and out of Cork, Ireland and home).

Well, since I just bought a new car, I am thankful for those moneys I had set aside!

Now, to get the car paid off for GG, if life last enough I will try and pay her mortgage off too.  Best way to avoid this state's greed in death taxes!
