This may not be universal, maybe it's climate related or hydrology. Anyhow, around here, you have to put the casket inside a concrete "vault". The guy that produces and sells septic tanks also produces and sells the vaults, which in and of itself tells you a lot. It's all bad. And you have to have flat grave stones now so Mexicans can drive over your final resting place in lawnmowers without having to weed whack.

.....all the sudden my skull idea doesn't sound so bad, huh?



NOTE: For my information and posterities sake: This is what I do at 4:30 am when I run out of weed - you know, instead of like sleeping.

Wow! Another beautiful, peaceful day ... No nagging, no biitching, no drama, no bioengineered worries...

The one behind the guy with an arm band looks like he's too young to be there.

You think Trump will arrive at game 3 at MSG? This Monday , tomorrowish

There is a cemetery in Cinnaminson NJ with no grave stones that is a coveted location for wedding pictures. That seems to be an appropriate location for wedding pictures.

Wow man. You out of reefer too?

".... a healthy 60‑year‑old woman today has more than a 50% chance of living to 90 and roughly a one‑in‑three chance of reaching 95; men aren't far behind...."   

I was guessing 83. That was/is my plan. I don't know where or when I arrived at that number.


Our system was designed for shorter lives.  Young people can't afford to buy houses, old people can't afford to sell houses.

If I'm ever faced with an enormously expensive medical crisis, I'm going to have to solve it with a bullet. That's better than letting the state take everything we have because hospital stays are 100k a week.

I had to call Florida paramedics from my house in Michigan and get on a plane. When I got there, there was a bootprint on the door where the cop kicked it open because my dad was refusing medical treatment after having a stroke. 8 grand for a medical plane to bring him back to Michigan so he could take his last breath in his own bed.  That wasn't too bad..... My mom outlived him by 25 years....THAT was expensive....assisted living and then the "memory unit" - which is a house of horrors.  That's not for me.

I set-up my life when I was in my late twenties to be able to live like a stable Middle Class life on no more than 2 g's a month.. Most of my life I could have lived on half that. My wife and kid are big consumers of resources. They have skewed my paradigm. Man. When I was single, I didn't give a fck about anything. I had a dog, a pistol and a duffel bag full of dirty clothes. Man...that was living. Back then if I didn't like what was happening, I'd just leave... Walking out on your own life is a fabulous option to have if you can swing it. Unfortunately it no longer works.

Direct creamation - like a grand. They send you home in a coffee can. No weeping, no flowers.


"Direct cremation: Typically $1,800 – $3,000 total (sometimes as low as $1,300–$2,000 if you shop around).
This includes pickup of the body, paperwork, the cremation itself, and return of the ashes in a basic container.

The body is placed in a basic cardboard cremation container (sometimes called an alternative container). This is required by the crematory, but it is very cheap (usually included in the package or costs $50–$150)."

My mother wanted to be cremated. It gave me the creeps. You're holding a jar and your mother is in it.
