Title: your obituary
Post by: JB88 on June 02, 2005, 11:41:21 AM: i came across the following in yesterdays local mainstream paper.

(true. not from spam...lol)

Don Chase, geologist, August 7th, 1927 - May 29, 2005

I died of cancer at my home in Bluewater Bay. That's OK, I was 77. It's not OK when kids and young adults die of it. Could $312 billion find a cure?

My son James died three days before me. I did not know. I do now.

At a later date, my family; wife of 56 years, Betty; James' wife of seven years Marine Col. Catherine; daughters and sister Carol Hilton and husband Philip will scatter our ashes from kayaks.

In lieu of condolences, get your colonoscopies, mammograms, PSA and Pap tests, and support Covenant Hospice.

Arrangements are entrusted to Heritage Gardens Funeral Home, Niceville, Florida

what would your obituary say?

Nah. Been there. Sucked. Prefer to be insulted in my native language.

A closed mind if ever I saw one.

Look, don't wanna start a flame fest.. it's pointless. But I'll tell yah this, I traveled extensively in western europe, great experiences with folks from Germany, Denmark, England, Scotland, Ireland, Luxemourg, Belgium, Holland and Italy.

In France, it sucked. Amerihaters. Yah see, that's how France GOT it's rotten reputation with regards to Americans.. your Parisian countrymens arrogant, haughty and uncivilized treatment of American Tourists. It's not just 'me'.. it's many THOUSANDS of 'me'.. we come home, we say, "The french are arrogant *******es; don't spend yer money there; they'll rob you, spit in your food, give you the lousiest flea bag rooms, abuse you in french to their friends right in front of you... vist Luxembourg or Holland instead. Nice folks there, glad to have us as guests."

Of course, there are other political consdierations that have since hardened my personal opinion of france as a Nation.. allow me to say, not much of redeeming nature comes out on that end either.

Closed minds? Not really. Just payback, that's all.

Post by: Skydancer on June 03, 2005, 11:38:12 AM: Sounds like you got a rough deal. Yeah I've met a few arrogent Frenchmen. Quite a few. But I've also met some great people. Like the Two guys who fed and watered both my (now ) wife and I, and celebrated my Birthday with us by opening some prized champagne and a bottle of single malt despite only having met us in a bar that night and knowing nothing about us other than that I rode a Triumph like them. So you get all sorts, in any country. Not great to write a nation off just because of a few bad pennies.

Reputations are earned... no misdeed ever goes unnoticed.

In the words of my ol granpa..."one aw-crap undoes 10 atta-boys".
