I'm willing to share small tidbits of me. Who I am. What I experience. Why I do what I do. Just ramdom thoughts from me. Enjoy!
Who?
Name::Random me From::California, United States
I am a wife and mother of two boys. I work full-time in the electronics industry. It took me 6 years to graduate college (no, I'm not embarrassed-I finished, Dammit!) SJSU class of 1990. I love to cook, because I love good food. I'll pass on sweets, but will eat something with garlic or onion in a minute. I HATE cheese, except Mozzerella on pizza-and that has to be combination pizza. I hate chick flicks, but love a good thriller. My husband and I are real estate investors on the side. View my complete profile
So, I'm on the phone with my great aunt today. I finally moved her to a small, quaint, clean rest home two weeks ago. Most phone calls from her have been her complaining about the food and the carpet in the place. Apparently, she's not enjoying the food and she thinks the carpet stinks. Funny, THISSSSSSS coming from a woman who's carpet in her own home smells of adult pee.
As you may already know, I think my great aunt is strange (I'm being nice here) - I've thought that of her my entire life. She's gready, self-serving and basically unbelievable. SOOooooo, last November when her husband passed away, she elected to creamate him - to save money. Ok, whatever - it's her money and not like she didnt have a small life insurance policy on him.. She has one on everyone in the family. She profits from the deaths of family members and pockets the cash instead of kicking down some funds to cover funeral expenses... See? Told ya! Unbelievable, huh?
Aaaaanywayzzz, she didnt want to pay for an urn or pay to entomb her husband, so incredibily, his remains are still in a cardboard box in her house. See? You thought I was lying... For the record, she didnt spend the entire insurance policy on his funeral, she pocketed "the change"... all while having ample cash in the bank and owning her home outright.
Ok, so back to today. She mentions her husband's remains back at her house. She wanted to make sure when we're cleaning out her house that we dont toss his remains. No problem - I would never do that. So, here's how our conversation goes:
her: we have to put him somewhere, how about we sprinkle him in the ocean??
::: insert "WTF?" here :::
me: did he love the ocean? Did he mention he wants to be burried at sea? her: Oh no, but it's free... me: * blink blink * me: you just dont DUMP people in the ocean because it's FREE. If he requested to have his remains sprinkled at sea or you had some sentimental reason for burying him at sea, then fine, but dont continue to disrepect him 'cause you're cheap! her: oh, ok. me: I have to go. *click*
