I’ve already told my hubby & family that I’ll do cremation as my parents did. We had awake for my Dad & a small ceremony for my Mom with a Salvation Army Minister. She wanted Amazing Grace sung so we accomodated her. I’ve instructed my hubby & my family that I want ABSOLUTELTY NOTHING – not even an obit. Just cremate me & throw my ashes in the sea. But, I’d like, if possible, for my hubby to recoop all the gold in my mouth – I’ve lots of it & I’m not kidding. Not sure if it’s possible – but why should the crematorium gain.

Amen! Like Yogurt said ‘Merchandising! That’s the secret!’

I can see it now ‘Greater Fool: The Lunchbox’; ‘Greater Fool: The Backpack’; ‘Greater Fool: The Running Shoe’; ‘Greater Fool: The Condom’; ‘Greater Fool: The Mortgage Calculator’.

Garth you can send my royalty cheques via email, eh? LOL

Wow, that is DEAD ON for price, eh? Personally, I will either handcraft a nice pine casket or just have my ashes scattered so I can haunt those who pissed me off during my time here in this dimension! LOL

All that ruffles and flourishes are for the people who haven’t passed through the portal. The occupant could not care less at that point. I especially liked the ‘4 inches wider’ one so there is room to roll over and provide elbow room’ Yeah, there is a reality alright!

Funny how multi-billion dollar industries come about for death events like marriage and funerals, eh?

Just kidding about marriage being a ‘death event’, it is actually a Three Ring Circus: Engagement Ring; Wedding Ring; and Suffering, or so my father-in-law said at our reception. We all cracked up. (My wife and I have a great and loving marriage, so do not think I am am anti-marriage.)

How the heck people can spend $20K+ on a wedding, then buy a house, and new car, have kids, and luxury vacations including a honeymoon is beyond my rational thinking. It seems to be some form of Last Meal before reality sets in?

Of well, the Madison Avenue Marketeers have trained them well since birth. ‘Gotta have!’, ‘I want!’, ‘But, Johnny has one!’, ‘You don’t love me!’ Oh, and the most pressuring ‘You are not someone unless….fill in the blank!’

This society make lab rats and trained seals look like geniuses.

Good! The MSM has become nothing but a big infomercial for their sponsors. They haven’t been telling us the “news” for years! I’m surprised anyone still watches/reads them.

If there is a global war in 2011 the global economy in 2012 will be hunter-gatherer. It doesn’t matter how you run the scenarios nuclear Armageddon is almost certain once the big boys square off with each other. Both sides have “pre-emptive” strike rules now, both have tactical devices meant to be used if they are loosing a conventional war (to take out the other sides conventional armies), and both sides will be tempted to launch a “decapitation” strike. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.

The good news is neither side has the money to start a major war any more. Typically wars are started at low levels of debt and lead to high levels, whereas we already have high levels now so I don’t know how much more could be borrowed.

More likely we get a limited war in the middle east that leaves all the oil fields under 6 inches of radioactive dust.

Ford is next, because Ford doesn’t like to pay it’s invoices either….

Ford has a total of 41,000 workers represented by the UAW in the United States.

Workers at two more United Auto Workers locals overwhelmingly rejected changes to their contract with Ford Motor Co. on Thursday, casting further doubt on whether the deal will be approved.
Workers at a parts-making plant in Saline, Mich., west of Detroit, voted 75 percent against the deal, while research and engineering employees in Dearborn, Mich., voted roughly 90 percent against the deal.

Ford is the only Detroit-area automaker to avoid bankruptcy protection and not take aid from the U.S. government. But it has a far higher debt load than Chrysler and GM, and higher labor costs could hurt efforts to make a comeback.

So about of timing of the stock market crash and RE crash in Canada again you are wrong. Would be in Feb/2010 after that Global War in 2011 and collapse of world economies in 2012.

“They will find a way to take your money… by legislation, crashes, or theft…”

My thoughts exactly, and history has proven that time and time again.

Hey, don’t forget about the line up of family and friends you’ll also need to lend a helping hand to during the hard times…

The RE boom continues…
