That was probably more a "damnyouautocorrect" issue, yes probably resulting from what I may have mistyped!
(And actually the reason my spouse and I split for a while, was MY problem with my spouse's "orgasm donor Choice"!(cheating on me) (we've resolved differences, spouse finally saw and admitted the error of ways).
BUT, I think I have one to rival this error!
I was texting with someone, and I SWEAR I typed "but my PENSION doesn't go that far', meaning a cost (actually against my SSDI, which I kindly referred to as that).
Literally one second in the middle of my finger hitting send, I saw to my horror that damnyouautocorrect changed PENSION to "Penis"!!
I managed to correct it, but no, I would never admit to a "short package"!!! Even if it were true!
To this day I DON'T know what error I made in typing "pension" that made damnyouautocorrect THINK I meant "penis".?!?!
Thanks for the laugh! After this day, I needed that!
Exactly the reason why we don't "pre buy" anything, especially this. Our friends have pre-bought through the Neptune Society. Thinking that is not a great idea. We are leaving enough funds for our survivors to dump us any place they choose. Or maybe we ride a couple of their mantles for a few years.
At least where I worked, our benefits included a life insurance policy. This was enough to cover a direct cremation (and then some). At least don't pre-plan until you retire and lose that!
I have already posted, but I’ll add that I don’t understand the point of a mausoleum, or a niche for ashes. We all just need to go away, after death. Delay is just delay. We are no more important after death that we were in life.
Cremation for both of us. We had planned to put the ashes in the columbarium at our old church. We’ve since moved and out new church doesn’t have one. We’ve told our kids to do whatever brings them peace with our ashes. Neither of us wants a memorial or a funeral.
The conventional wisdom I've heard is that a funeral helps bring closure to those grieving. They see the body and that helps the mourners accept that it really happened.
All that said, I've lost touch with so many people and the family is scattered all over. I guess if my wife felt compelled to have a viewing or something, ok. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band had that song, Buy for Me the Rain. "Gravestones cheer the living, dear, they're no use to the dead."
I'll be cremated and put into some water. We're all going back to the water table, so I don't care where.
