Saturday, April 19th, 2008Spotted me a sweet mullet this weekend. One of the most exquisite, perfectly coiffed styles I’ve seen in a long while.
Side view: Nice length and shape. Well blended.
Rock on!
Lazy Link Dump
Friday, April 18th, 2008Good Friday!
You know we’re all about organ donation here in the Garden, but some of these ads….well, you decide. Creepy or cute?
Check out the Oritz Funeral Home sign in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Thanks to the Copyranter for the tips. Miss you already.
Earlier, we covered the gallery of “Life Before Death” photos, here’s a lighter and possibly [...]
Tragically Hip
Thursday, April 17th, 2008You know you are getting old when your favorite ’80’s rockers are either soon to show up on the cover of the AARP (Madonna and Prince) or are having hip replacements.
My imaginary 1980’s lover, Eddie. Hip replacement and tongue removal. Gawd!
Steve Perry, hip replacement.
Paul Stanley, hip replacement.
Mick what’s his name from Motley Crue. Hip [...]
Weeping Cherry
Thursday, April 17th, 2008In The Mailbox: One of our clients sent a nice note thanking us for our assistance and the recommendation of a Weeping Cherry for a tree dedication. Honestly, I don’t remember making that suggestion, but the Weeping Cherry is one of my favorite ornamental trees and a stunning centerpiece for a memorial tribute. [...]
Bleeding Hearts
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008A welcome sight in the early Spring garden. Bleeding Hearts are hardy and easy to grow (and toxic). My Bleeding Hearts have taken a lot of abuse over the years and still come back every season. The original plant in my garden has been split and divided several times and moved all about the property, [...]
Memorial Tips from Keith Richards
Tuesday, April 15th, 2008In this month’s Blender magazine Keith Richards answers a fan’s email:
Can you clear up once and for all the thing about snorting your dad’s ashes- I’ve seen you quoted as saying that you did, then that you didn’t and then recently that you did. Which is it?
Richards’ Reply: It’s about halfway in between. [...]
Clear Skies
Monday, April 14th, 2008Maybe one more below freezing night and then, we’re warming up! Very exciting news!
Let’s recap the first quarter of the year: Ice, Ice, Tornado, Snow, Flood, Flood.
We should be talking about memorial stones and benches, but inquiring minds want to know? Do you make your bed?
June-Gonna-Eat-That posed the question and frankly I think it’s [...]
Heal Thyself
Monday, April 14th, 2008So last week I visited the doctor. The Good Doctor knows I don’t come around much; only when needed, and I NEEDED a physical. I pride myself on staying out of the health care system, but I don’t want to be a Melton Medical Mystery either!
A new computer system had been in place for [...]
Hummers
Wednesday, April 9th, 2008No not this kind.
St. Louis hotel 2005.
This Kind:
We’ve been successful attracting the hummingbirds and butterflies the last couple of years. Even with the hunters next door! According to the calender, the hummingbird scouts should be coming in the next week or so. So, why do I feel pressure?
Funeral Directors, depending on where you are…if you [...]
Life Before Death
Wednesday, April 9th, 2008Check out this series of portraits taken of people before and after they died, Life Before Death. The work by German photographer Walter Schels and his partner Beate Lakotta, who recorded interviews with the subjects in their final days.
Thanks to Dooce for the tip. Love her.
