Let’s see ——-
She lived her life in such a way that when her feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shuddered and said….
‘Oh s—-she’s awake!!!

oh my. That one really connected with me, betsy, right down to the soul level. Where have I read/heard that before?
My obit headline would read: “Local Woman Who Lived Life on Her Terms, Dies Peacefully in Her Sleep.”
I won’t have a headstone, since I don’t believe in taking up real estate after I’m dead, but if I did, I would love it to say my favorite quote, from Dr. Seuss:
“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those that mind don’t matter, and those that matter don’t mind.”
Wise Ass Woman drops body — Assumes new one as Queen of Somewhere Hot Bright and Happy!
When ever I have the wonderful event of having my children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren in the same house I look around and tell them all, “If not for me, you would not be!” My grandson has heard this so many times that he swears he is putting it on my tombstone. I won’t have a tombstone - so I just want them to remember that.
I feel a need to share this because it is a classic for wow women. My father (the ultimate chauvinist) was an alcoholic that my mother loved very much but would not tolerate. They married and divorced each othe five times. When my father got drunk he would make us promise to spread his ashes on mom’s grave so he could say “Joe ——— on top at last!” I did this late one night, drunk as a skunk with a cocktail waitress that kept the motor running because I told her when dad’s ashes hit mom’s grave the earth was going to move.
Guess mom was right - you can find humor in anything.
What I would like my obit to say is….Joan Brown, Daughter, Sister, Mother, Grandmother and friend to all. She will be truely missed.
Ladies, pul-lease! Can we stop recycling subjects from the past? We may be over 40, dahlings, but our minds haven’t completely gone. Can’t we come up with a new question?
They’re doing some change-over work on WoW, according to a staff message, and it’s going to be a couple days with the old questions being repeated. Cheers,
Jim
