Is someone trying to tell me something

The local mortuary has contacted me several times, and wants to come in, and get me signed up I get a small pension from my company. Today I got a notification to process a death notification up on my death. I have information from the VA what is available to me when the time comes. I wonder if it's because I am turning 80 July 3rd. I still have some mowing to do. Do they know this? Afraid to go outside now. So if you don't hear from me anymore. That means someone knows something I don't. Stan

Push marketing is almost too bizarre. Live Long and Prosper! Jim

I get mailings from the Neptune Society I think they are called for cremation services. Yikes, we could all go any day but I am not going to give them any info.

I was eighteen when AARP started hounding me.

Maybe you will be the only guy in town that can mow your own grave !

Ignore them for another 30 years.

There's a crematorium across the street from the shop.

I've done some work on their oven in the past. Guess I need to put together a plan to trade some work for the future, reserve me a spot.

Tell them that you plan to live until your over 100.

Read somewhere that statistics show fewer people over 100 need [b:654c4848f0][i:654c4848f0]to process a death notification[/i:654c4848f0][/b:654c4848f0] than any other age group.

The one that really irritates me is classmates.com.I have been getting messages from them that an old friend has been trying to contact me,and they want to know why I haven't been responding.It's mostly because she is DEAD.She passed about 15 years ago.Lately I have been getting some about a girl that grew up with my sister,they were lifelong best friends.She passed two years ago,so I doubt she tried to contact me twice today.

Have a happy birthday, I will have a birthday on the 3rd also, but I will only be 71! I haven't had anyone bothering me about those things yet, I hope I make it to 80.

Happy Birthday. I turn 68 on the 3rd

Tombstone, Arizona (where the gunfight at the OK corral occured) still is running their local newspaper, though more geared for tourists now. Called the Tombstone Epitaph. Their motto is that where you can read your own epitaph.....or something like that.

Happy Birthday Stan.
I turned 83 a few weeks ago and my advice is ignore all that crapola and keep doing what you've been doing.

Happy Birthday Stan.
At 80 the odds are against us living another 80 years..

22 years I bought 2 cemetery plots so I'll be buried next to my late wife. My kids can put me in a cardboard box and cover me up.

I'm 81 in September. I figure I'll continue what I am doing for another 10 years the way I feel right now. My daughter is my executrix and I told her that I really don't care what you do with me after I croak. Cremation is popular in the family, economical, and you don't have to put a lot of folks to a lot of trouble for a guy who doesn't care. I'm finding that you have to work at it to keep a positive attitude.

My wife of 49 1/2 years and subsequent girl friend of 10 years have passed on and I've had a lot of kin and friends pass on and then you look at all the things that can bring you down and look around at the folks more senior and their lifestyle. This crap about the golden years is a bunch of propaganda when you really pull the sheet back and have a look at reality.

Happy birthday Pete and Stan!, Chip

Good gravy, I thought it was bad when they stared hounding me at 40! I sent a lot of their stuff back marked return to sender. That didn't work, so I sent them a nastygram. They left me alone until I was 67-68 and then started in again. I just throw their crap away now. The more money they waste mailing me stuff is less they have to spend on stuff I don't agree with, I guess.

I wake up in the morning check the obits in the local news. If my name isn't there I figure I might as well get up and get to it.

I'm 72 and still running chain saws and splitting wood, and hoping to outlast the point where Pop had to give that stuff up around 74-75. By that age he was pretty much relegated to puttering around and grumbling at how the rest of us did things. Heart-wise I am in better shape than he was. He had a stroke at 72, also, but recovered well from it. Hopefully I can get to your age and still be in fairly good shape. I had a great aunt who made to a few days short of 106, and her daughter made to 102 or 103, can't remember which now.Most of the daughters kids are now in their 80's, with one one the high side of 90. Hopefully some of that rubbed off on me.

Happy 80th two days early. My dad was constantly conniving up ways to save money. He had money, he was not poor but he just didn't want to give out any unwarranted money. When he was about 80 maybe a little younger he was planning for the cheapest funeral possible. He was golfing buddies with the local funeral director so he was sneaking in a lot of questions about funeral costs during their golfing adventures. After much thought he came up with the plan. No visitation the evening before, He would be cremated, he was a religious man but there would be a simple funeral and everyone will meet at his house to socialize after the funeral. There would be no commital service. I would dig the hole for the quart jar with the ashes in it beside my mother's grave at the cemetery drop the jar in the hole and cover it up. Simple as that. I don't know if that would have been allowed but that was his wish. The total bill would be a few hundred dollars 18 or 20 years ago. There was no written directive though so my sis and I had free reign of what to do. When he passed away a little under two years ago at 96 years old my sis and I disobeyed his wishes and had a full blown funeral with a body and casket and visitation the evening before. Out of respect for dad's ways we chose the cheapest no frills casket the funeral home had to offer. One directive from dad we did follow was we invited everyone at the funeral to dad's house for lunch. This was during that unspeakable outbreak so gathering at dad's house was the only choice we had anyway. We had a wonderful time even though it was sad for me because this would be the last gathering of friends and family in a house that had been in the family for close to 90 years. Well I got long winded again. Time to shut up.

Happy Birthday!!! My son will turn 22 on the 3rd.

At least you put him in their most
modestly-priced receptacle. With
cremation, you could have just gone to
Ralph's.
