My friend has told her mom, just in case, that she wants to be buried in a sweatshirt and turned over on her stomach because that’s how she slept when she was alive.

Ha! I really never thought of the mafia as being eco-friendly. I guess everyone is going green these days.

[...] Noelle mentioned green burials in a post the yesterday, so I thought I’d piggy back on that idea and talk about green burial arrangements. From GreenBurials.org: A green burial is a cremation alternative, and a viable alternative to “traditional” burial practices in the United States. It is an earth friendly option when considering burial vs cremation. Many families choose cremation because it’s seen as more environmentally friendly than traditional burial. Embalming, expensive sealed caskets and burial vaults are not required by law. Though traditional memorial parks may require them, a green cemetery or memorial nature preserve does not. The simplicity of a green burial is in tune with nature and need not be expensive. [...]

LOL~ I’m for the green burial thing too.

Friends… busy friends. I know all too well this dilemma, because I am one of those “too busy friends”, perhaps not one that you speak of, but when it comes to blogging you can count me as one. All I can say about your friends is this, you are in their thoughts and they do love you. I’m a positive thinker.

I’m too busy sometimes, too. I like to think that they think of me, and I guess they think I’m pretty happy and don’t need them, but that is the farthest thing from the truth.

I love that “nowadays [you're] into” any type of burial. I’m into carrot sticks with hummus lately. You’re into mafia burials. Eh. We all have our thing. Do you really have a file on your desktop titled “Read this if I die”? If so, I am weirdly impressed.

That’s true, it is a weird trend to be into. And now I want carrot sticks with hummus, so much better than death!

I spent years not calling people I loved because I didn’t want to bother them with all my shit. Apparently the habit stuck on both sides of the fence. Oops.

I also had an “if I die” paper in my top dresser drawer from 8th grade on. Looking back, it was kind of creepy then. Oh well.

Yeah, I’d rather hear from people than not at all. Because before you know it, loss of a friendship is another shitty thing (for the record, it wasn’t you or anyone who lives in your state that I was referring to.)

Mafia burial – too funny! Is a “green” burial legal???

It’s becoming legal, but in very limited ways.

I’d return your call!

I’m donating my body to science when I die. I even have a spiffy donor’s card. How awesome am I?!

That is awesome! My new license says “Organ Donor” in big red letters. I hope it works.
