Karma What will you leave to your loved ones when you die?

LL will be recieving my collection of houses replicating the streets of Mackinac Island. :D

I just willed Crank my entire belly button lint collection, and I KNOW the rest of you will be jealous of that.

I hope to leave a safer, kinder internet behind for my grand daughter to play on. :)

I also plan to leave my body to science. I'm SURE that'll be a hoot to my family! LOL LOL

Anyone else have plans?

Robin I was joking about this very subject with someone last night. I said you should be careful telling folks what they will inherit from you. You don't want to give them an excuse to bump you off. :D (Yes I was kidding about this.)

On a serious note, the only specifics I've made is filling out my organ donor card. If I have any usable parts left when I go, they are welcome to use them to help someone else. Besides having it marked on my driver's license I still carry the donor card signed by my Mother when I was about 16 giving me permission to 'donate'.

I'm going to have to presume by this statement that omnicient isn't an YKW supporter.

I can't see the word 'jack-a-lope without giggling. A few years back I had a job assignment in an area where this guy was also hanging out. (I say it that way because he really didn't do much work so hanging out applies) Anyway, to get an idea of this guy's mentality. He had an aunt who didn't like her name. It was Marge. So she changed it to something she thought sounded softer and nicer. 'Morge' Don't ask, I don't know her so I can't answer beyond that lol. Anyway. This guy thought that was a great idea and felt the same about his name. It was Mark. You get the picture right? Yes, I made him show me his drivers' license and yes that's what it said lol.

Anyway, my lead and I used to mess with him big time. Mostly because he had a lousy attitude and made our lives tougher due to his lack of cooperation. One day my lead who is an avid hunter and would often bring in pics of his trophies and such was showing me his new jackalope. 'Mork' asked to see the pic and then asked where such critters roamed. Well, Bob proceeded to tell him all about where and how they originated and why they were so rare. It's tough for a mule deer to find a willing jack rabbit doncha know, let alone catch them. And the logistics of that, well, it's mind-boggling lol. Then he went into detail about how they are actually nocturnal and you have to spot them right at dusk or you don't even get a chance to shoot one, as it's illegal to hunt after dark. Plus size makes it really tough to shoot one and still get a decent critter to mount for your 'dead animal room' Well, I played straight 'man' for all of this and he bought into it hook line and sinker. As far as I know he still is hoping to see one in the wild lol.

Thanks Janie for that giggle this morning. After my New Years Day with a way sick hubby, a disagreement with butthead about who's weekend Nate's birthday falls on (It's Sunday-my weekend)Nate returning home with an earache, and lots of needed deprogramming after a week with 'the other side' and lots of time spent trying to get my computer to even boot up, and getting messages about the impending death of my relatively new hard drive, and making sure I had disc copies of all of my thousands of photos when I did finally get it to boot up. (Can't prove why this happened, but what happened shortly before that 'blue screen of death' appeared was that I decided to visit somewhere I hadn't in quite some time and probably shouldn't have. Though after a system restore to a check point just prior to that visit, and deleting certain 'cookies' it seems okay now---so far. Coincidence I'm sure.)

Now it's off to the malls to spend #1 son's Christmas money.

I'm thinking aromatherapy and my new tub bubbler tonight...

Thanks for the great story, Lori! (story-Lori! HA!)

I certainly hope Ed's feeling better.

As for your hardrive, I highly recommend Norton Systemworks.

It keeps my system nice and clean. Much better than Bill Gate's offering. Disk Doctor is worth the cost alone!

Lunarlady Sorry to hear about your hard-drive, Fan. I'm paranoid about that other place now and just won't visit on MY computer. However when I get the chance on someone ELSE'S computer I check it out from time to time.

After my first meltdown, I was smart enough to install closer restore dates, so the second time I was hit (about a month later) it wasn't so bad. Best of luck with your new software.
