Could be even worse - you could be so darn old that you were thinking "gosh that WAS the song I HAD at my funeral..." :o

My son asks me what it was like in "the olden days", when I was a kid. Thing is I can remember asking my mum the same thing. What goes around comes around. :)

I was in a museum and was showing my son the telephones we used to have. He was amazed that you have to stick your finger in and dial ! I felt all nostalgic and wanted one lol!

When my sprogs complain of being cold - I tell them 'bout when I was a lass we didn't have central heating and in the morning there used to be ice on the inside of my bedroom window!!

What do I sound like...........................my mother...............frightening isn't it...................when exactly did I turn into my mother!!!!!!!!!! ???

Electricity? I used to clean my grandmother's 3 Valor-lamp tin oven for her.

And take a candle to bed. Had to blow out the candle by the door & throw myself into bed because there was always something nasty hiding under it!!

I always fancied Eric Claptons 'Wonderful tonight' at my funeral, one of my faves, but I don't suppose I will be looking all that wonderful!! ;D

One of the great things about being old, and having kids, is playing with them and not having to make excuses! I go on the swings, whiz down the slide, build sandcastles on the beach, eat big ice creams with sprinkles......and boy are the kids embarressed! It is great being old! ;D

Well, Lorna, I used to rub two sticks together, to try and get a spark going and light a fire so that I could see whilst doing my cave paintings and skinning my bunnies to make a tasteful attire...... ;D ;D ;D ;)

ooo, I want my ashes scattered to the wind on Westward Ho! beach in North Devon, whilst the scatterer eats a Hockings ice cream with extra clotted cream! ;D

I would then be able to wander the allotment and help the next lottie owner to have a great harvest. Protect it from harm and scare off any would be vandals, OOOOOOO :o :o

I'm still undecided!! What I'd really like......is a big, scary stone mausoleum thingy........with bats and cobwebs......creepy yet romantic music and lots white roses growing over it......sigh......but will probably end up with ashes being hoovered up... ::)

Joking apart I think that I would like to be buried under a newly planted tree so my spirit could grow with it and watch over the world.

myrtle · « **Reply #59 on:** November 24, 2005, 12:38:52 »

I want 'Always look on the bright side of life' played at my funeral. I have every intention of my spirit sitting on my coffin to make sure everyone cries profusely at my passing. ;D
