I try. I bring light to the world. :laughing:
Flying objects on the highway are very dangerous. Once I had something coming at me so fast I had no time to react on the interstate. Smacked the grill so hard I thought it put a hole in the radiator. Kept watching the temp. gage until I could pull over. Right now there is a circular crack in my windshield from a rock I think. Never saw it. Came off a truck coming from the opposite direction. Another time something from a log truck that passed me as I exited a 4 lane highway hit the windshield right in front of my wife’s face. Luckily it didn’t go through. Kids have been known to drop rocks off overpasses and they have killed many. Driving is like Russian Roulette.
Yeh, that’s one thing that was suggested by HWY, that some idiot kids threw something off the LIRR overpass (which was about where it happened). Not sure how high a rock would bounce depending on the road material, so couldn’t really say.
And there was that time a baby, in a car-seat, in the backseat, and in the middle, got killed dead by a bowling-ball(!) some shiite-for-brains thought would be “funny” to drop onto the highway below. Went right through the windshield between both parents sitting in front.
Too many individual articles to list, so…

(Damn, can’t believe I remembered that incident…)
listening to all the know-it-alls right here on blf
another kind, thoughtful comment brought to you by…
most likely suicide
How many here own a grave site and/or a headstone ready and waiting for you?
I do.
Always with the negative waves…
I don’t have a grave site or headstone, instead I would like to be cremated. That way my relatives and friends could roll me up and smoke me.
Makes me think of this comedian I’ve seen —- In one of his jokes he talks about how people go up to the casket and say how so n so looks good —He said hell no I want to look dead — I want people to come up and gag — say man what’s that smell —— 
“How many here own a grave site and/or a headstone ready and waiting for you?”
well, we have done something like that.
our bodies will be donated and cremated afterwards,
which is already setup and legally binding.
I wasn't thinking negatively. My father bought the lots for his whole family when he was terminal 20+ years ago. Then 10 years ago my best friend passed away and she was put in one of the lots. So I had a double headstone made to match my parents. Also, I had a 1500 pound 4 ft. granite statue custom made for her that was placed between our stone and my parents. Best statue in any cemetery for miles around.
It’s not negative to plan. Having seen an unplanned estate, it’s your responsibility…
Good question. 
I do.
….
+1 Amen to that… an unplanned estate can be a nightmare & disaster rolled into one big mess.
I have seen a couple too, thankfully not in my tamily.
And this applies to far more than what to do with the remains of the recently departed.
Well it’s kinda required of you. I mean it’s your name and all………
Not me, cremate me and just flush me down the toilet. I’m gone already at that point, what do I care?

If I were to die unexpectedly it would probably be due to something smart I shouldn’t have said to an idiot.
It was the first piece of real estate I ever purchased. Three slots over from my Dad, right after he passed. My Mom and sister bought the other two.
I was back home for 19 days earlier this year b/c of a family health emergency. While there, I had a chance to explore the cemetery. I found over 60 direct relatives including all of my Grandfathers going back to the first one that immigrated in 1846. Kinda cool actually.
My parents are from a little town called Hessmer, La.—— At the Catholic Church / Cemetery there’s four generations of my father’s family and 3 generations of my mothers buried there —- all siblings etc ———- I’ll never forget at my dad’s funeral the priest said — He was Baptized in this church — Married in this church and now Buried in this church
Hessmer? Is that around Bunkie? I’ve got family that still lives there and that town name sounds familiar.
Extreme jiggy jiggy maybe? Or would that be Ultra? 
Right up the road about 5 miles — Bunkie talk about a town that rolls the sidewalk up Saturday at noon —- I hadn’t been that way in around 20+ years — when my dad passed away in 07 was my first time back — other than a few big homes built on the highway was just like I remembered
