Here’s a couple of new words we learned today:
Seen on a t-shirt: Haji: so I’m thinking Haji, friend of Johnny Quest. Favorite episode: 
Sim Sim Sala Bim.
The t-shirt is another post.
A client in Louisiana used the term Cajun Coonass to refer to herself, not as an ethnic slur, but as a badge of honor. Unfamiliar with the term, I asked her to repeat it, she said she was a registered coonass.
When we started this grim business we were focused on the human aspect and hadn’t planned on pets , the results have been astounding. Analytics indicate pet urns are the number one search.
Reminds me of a visitation of a friend of the family, when I asked how the widow was holding up, a family member mentioned….”oh, we’re so worried about his dog, they were so close.”
And this, thanks to brandspankin

Today’s tip: Don’t argue with a crazy person.

The Air National Guard in Louisiana refers to itself as the “Coonass Militia”. The LA lege wanted them to stop. Lots ‘o luck. I have always thought of it as a friendly term, not a disparaging one.
