Guilty! I started reading obits on-line for my mom when she quit taking the daily paper, and she wanted to know if any of her friends had died. Now that she’s gone, I’m still reading them, to find out if my friends have died. And yes, I’ve gone to a few funerals I wouldn’t have known about if I didn’t read the obits every day.

Pluggers are obsessed with death as they feel it coming towards them.

It’s a reminder that you still have time to share, so share with family and community.
But then, a plugger does both naturally.

The weird part is, they often run the person’s high school grad picture, decades later.

That is seriously creepy.

Not all that disheartening to learn those who bullied me in school are no longer around. I WIN!!!

That’s pretty morbid.

Living well is the best revenge, it’s said. Living long has it’s own set of values, some quite attractive. Glad wrinkles don’t hurt.
