    Lets assume you died a month ago, what are family and friends saying about you today?

    Many would have mixed feelings about my passing for sure. I'm sure there would be some flowers on my grave from time to time along with some urine.

    I'd hate the waste of attention on me... I'm content with what people are thinking now. I'm sure I'd be missed and that I would miss but, life goes on.........

    I need someone to cook for me, my neighbors are in Florida so they don't use me for a guinea pig anymore to try new recipes, and my wife stays down south during most of the week. I'm to lazy to drive to a diner, and to stupid to cook. I'm currently in food h*ll.

    It is cold and wet outside, a perfect day for making chili. And I'll bet you're far away.....

    An old fart has finally gone into the wind!

    Romeos, Wherever ye be, let yer winds blow free !

    Wow, what a shocker! She was a real health nut about food and exercise and apparently, she just dropped dead! What time shall we meet for our pot luck? We're having hot dogs, potato chips, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, beer, wine, ice cream, cheese cake, pizza, cream pie, French fries, southern fried chicken and deep fried steak with cream sauce! After that, we'll rest!         lol

    Thought so. I'll write it in my funeral arrangements..."Beer and cheesecake for ROMOS". :)

    Ducky - I don't eat much but sounds good to me - I so wish I had someone to cook for me. If I had someone to cook for - I would - then we could both eat and enjoy. yummy. It always amazes me all these people with food fads - cannot tell you how many just drop dead - yes people all do - regardless.

    I only wish that mine were food "fads". I have allergies to certain foods (gluten intolerance and dairy intolerance) and if I eat them, I get very sick. I have to be very careful and do a lot of research about foods. I cook for myself every single day and rather enjoy experimenting.
    Poppy3

    Ducky - I am so sorry for this - your allergies - must be miserable. But why do you get sick you know about food? You also must have had allergy testing done - which would help you - although I do know what we read - what we see is not necessarily what we get. Good that you cook for yourself and good to experiment - makes the food tasty and interesting if able to do this.

    don't forget the tacos and burritos.

    Not so bad...it's something that I can control...some with other "illnesses" are not so fortunate. :(

    It's not an "illness" you're just intolerant!

    Bob/PKB - great answer - oh so funny!! Hope all is well. You sound good to me.
    Bob/PKB

    Hi Poppy3! Oddly, I just got home and wrote my obituary...not that I plan to need it soon, just decided not to put anyone out. Life is good, as long as I don't expect anyone to enhance it! :D
    Hope you are well!

    They would say I had the most infectious smile and I could always laugh at myself.

    If someone in my family were to make a comment, it would be along the lines of who they were going to pick on now the big patsy target is gone.

    They may say that I was always a good guy, all who knew me very well loved me.  Some who I had work for me may not see it that way, I was too hard on the slackers...  I had little tolerance for those who did not work for their wages, and was not approachable to them.  When I befriend someone, they would say, they had a friend for life.  And all would say that I was very helpful if I could be, and sometimes gave advise even when it wasn't actually requested...  Most would bring a flower, a few poison ivy! 

    ed shank - as usual such an extremely interesting question. "Oh the gift that God could give us, to see ourselves as others see others" Robert Burns. I always thought this quote ended "to see ourselves as others see us". It's in there somewhere? ROMOS will know and he would also know how to say this and even write this the Scottish way. Amazing question - I will have to read everyone's answers. To be honest with you I do not mind what they say about me - I know I have done more than my bit on this earth - Oh dear, - somewhat arrogant and a touch of sanctimonious but not meant to be. No flowers for me - flowers are for the living I feel and their place is really in the earth.   I think however - it is more important what they say and think about you when you are alive - although I am not at all worried about that either unless it is reciprocal hurt. 

    ROMOS

    Ha! whaur ye gaun, ye crowlin ferlie?
    Your impudence protects you sairly;
    I canna say but ye strunt rarely,
    Owre gauze and lace;
    Tho', faith! I fear ye dine but sparely
    On sic a place.

    Ye ugly, creepin, blastit wonner,
    Detested, shunn'd by saunt an' sinner,
    How daur ye set your fit upon her-
    Sae fine a lady?
    Gae somewhere else and seek your dinner
    On some poor body.

    Swith! in some beggar's haffet squattle;
    There ye may creep, and sprawl, and sprattle,
    Wi' ither kindred, jumping cattle,
    In shoals and nations;
    Whaur horn nor bane ne'er daur unsettle
    Your thick plantations.

    Now haud you there, ye're out o' sight,
    Below the fatt'rels, snug and tight;
    Na, faith ye yet! ye'll no be right,
    Till ye've got on it-
    The verra tapmost, tow'rin height
    O' Miss' bonnet.

    My sooth! right bauld ye set your nose out,
    As plump an' grey as ony groset:
    O for some rank, mercurial rozet,
    Or fell, red smeddum,
    I'd gie you sic a hearty dose o't,
    Wad dress your droddum.

    I wad na been surpris'd to spy
    You on an auld wife's flainen toy;
    Or aiblins some bit dubbie boy,
    On's wyliecoat;
    But Miss' fine Lunardi! fye!
    How daur ye do't?

    O Jeany, dinna toss your head,
    An' set your beauties a' abread!
    Ye little ken what cursed speed
    The blastie's makin:
    Thae winks an' finger-ends, I dread,
    Are notice takin.

    O wad some Power the giftie gie us
    To see oursels as ithers see us!
    It wad frae mony a blunder free us,
    An' foolish notion:
    What airs in dress an' gait wad lea'e us,
    An' ev'n devotion!
    Poppy3

    ROMOS - Oh my - I will have to read this over and over to understand it!!! Thanks ROMOS so much this and last bit "O wad some Power the giftie gie us To see oursels as others see us!

    You must be kidding! He has been dead for years. Maybe it is someone else. There are many people with a name like his. Did you come here for money or something? Go away.

    "How is he posting this answer?"

    Tommyh

    That's a good point!

    they would be very sad and happy too, looking back.  we had so much fun growing up and i helped most of them with their wishes and goals.  They would say i lived a good and happy life and that i died because i spent too much time helping others and being too generous to people.  which is true. my sister tells me today, stop helping so many people. i mostly follow the biblical principles. thanks for asking this question.

    Poppy3

    tabber - such an honest answer - seems people usually like more of the down side i.e. "I who am no-one" Yes in the greater scheme of things we are nobodies but some do leave their mark.
    tabber

    you know Poppy3 i think almost everybody has been some type of hero to somebody. whether it was a grand mom to a grandchild, a solider to a fellow solider, someone who saved a drowning person (somebody saved me in a swimming pool when i was younger) etc. so i guess we humans do the best we can toward others when the opportunity presents itself. have a great day!
    Poppy3

    tabber - hope you have a great day - nightfall here. You are so right - thankyou.

    people say a lot of bad things about other people when they are alive,,and they say some good things, which they may or may not mean,,but when i am dead,, people will be very free to say what they like,be it good or bad,,either way,why should i care then,,,,,,always nice talking,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
