The BF and I have talked about how fun it would be to open our own gym. We even have a location in mind near our place. It's an old run down movie theater that has been declared a historical buidling so it can't be torn down. It would be a great place for a climbing wall. Now if we could just open it and transport it to Tahoe we would be in heaven.

Not up for the cremation thing tho'.

way OT tangent here but I am all for cremation. Even tho I may be dead and my body just an object, I really don't relish the worms and funk that would inhibit it........ scatter me from the Portland Head Light..... yup.

off topic and worse, while my xh worked in a crematory/funeral home, we had the agreement that he wouldn't run my ashes through the 'vibrator' (the thing that vibrates the still-whole chunks into dust) and he'd just put me in a photoshopped Jiff or Skippy jar labeled "Here lies Aryn- Chunky Style" etc, so it (the label) looked real, with all the 'fine print' being things about me and my life. If I die before 40, I still want that... after that, I might want more respectable disposal of my mortal coil, but I want it to reflect my dry, icky sense of humor in life.

I figure that creation takes your mortal organic carbon and turns it into CO2, contributing to global warming.

A typical cemetary burial uses up land and keeps that useful carbon locked in a sealed vault for decades.

I want my mortal carbon recycled into the biosphere, to do good for another creature. So I'd like to be buried in the woods in a pine box. Or left for the scavengers and recyclers of the invertebrate world to do their thing with. That's my wish, but there are probably laws against it in the US.

laws, schmaws. When you think you're ready to die, go out into the woods and take matters into your own hands. That way, no one can be procecuted for your being laid to rest the way you wanted to be, and you'll have your way. I'm just thinking that after an entire life time, the little CO2 that I create will be a small matter. Like someone's bbq, but hopefully with a smaller grease fire. Oh, the stories XH can tell.

Well Deb, there's always Soylent Green...

Comment deleted because Xrayted would pick on me for being "dark".

...no pun intended, either.
People, the other, other, other white meat.

Oh Aryn (love that name. Why'd ya hide it?) I mean KIT - ya had to go and say it. Now there will be religious upheaval about how its a sin and the person who does this will go to hades........ no passing go, no $200..... straight to hades....

*sigh* (got my popcorn ready!)

Pff. Why sweat the small stuff? Oddly, the idea comes from my dad, one of the more religious (and also coolest) guys I know. He's UCC, though, so kind of 'liberal' as far as religions go... He said that the way he wanted to go was as a little old man up in his deer stand one thanksgiving, to fall asleep up there in the cold and not wake up. Knowing him, I have to agree. His childhood was there, he raised his kids there, and he'd want to die there. Heck, if I ever managed to go back (though life in WI makes me wonder...) that's where I'd want to die, too.
