I've run across quite a few interesting ones myself. By the way, "Pancake" is Pat's pet name for me. I sent him a copy of that headstone. He asked if I was ordering my headstone already (I haven't). I haven't decided what to put on my headstone. One of the names I had considered was "FAG" and in small print "Find a Grave volunteer." But of course in HUGE script the word "FAG". Hey, I'm going to go out being totally OUT.<br />RonRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161930319264523497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660581276521005822.post-78678388533010984782016-04-08T17:19:05.578-05:002016-04-08T17:19:05.578-05:00That's another classic.

I know a lot of people who don't like their name, but wouldn't you hate to have these. Wandering through graveyard and reading the stone, long time favorite activity I haven't done enough of lately.

I suppose it could have been even worse, such as Randy Lynn Stinks.<br /><br />I'm delighted that you still grace my blog with visits - I love comments but they certainly aren't mandatory. I suppose as we grow older we get more depressed. I no longer have a cheery, optimistic attitude. And I'm certainly having more health problems. I love the solitude and privacy here in the wilderness, but it definitely has drawbacks. I'm still not used to all the inconveniences. This place also still needs a lot of work and I don't have the money to do it.<br /><br />It's admittedly not easy to have three cats in a small place. They take up a lot of my time - - but they also always bring a lot of joy and make me laugh. I couldn't exist without their companionship.

Anyway, really am here this time - and I must say I was intensely worried by your little 'prologue' above, most especially re your little furry ones, which shows the measure of just how deep you are. Then I read down the tombstones, and felt better - considerably better - hoping that it reveals your current true state of being able to share jocularity despite all else. I do hope so.<br /><br />I recall many years ago on one of our humour-orientated magazine TV programmes a viewer sent in an American poster for a concert to be given by a young girl pianist, proudly announcing her name - Randy Lynn Bangs.
