Probably life 4 or 5. The closest I've come to actual death was a bad car accident about 12 years ago. Looking at the pictures of what was left of the car, I couldn't tell you how I survived, and wasn't hurt far worse than I was.

I LOVE Undead Day!! It's my own personal holiday. People look at me funny cuz Pambo and Doug greet me with "I'm happy you aren't dead!" Plus I always buy me a really cool present.

Most people who hear about it think it is so morbid. I don't think so. People always remember grim anniversaries and dread them. I didn't want to be that way. I came out of that experience with a stack of phobias, trauma, and some wicked facial scars that remind me every single day to be grateful to be alive. I figure if I celebrate the good to be alive part, the rest of it won't bother me so much.

If you can't celebrate your own weird occasions, then who can? I think it should be perfectly legal to declare your own holiday. Everyone has a birthday, so that is a given... but I mean another day of your own chosing. Granted, I did not get to pick the actual date... just the motivation to celebrate.

Plus, when people hear us talking about Undead Day they think we think we're vampires. Nice little spin to put on things. They walk around saying, "I KNEW it..." Office humor rules!
Do you know that we would be the most interesting people on the planet if everything our co-workers say "I knew it!!" about in regard to us was actually true?

Mema & I both have husbands with "interesting" health issues. Both of them were really sick at the same time. We SWORE we were going to market a whole line of items with the words 'WAITNG TO BE WIDOWED" on them. I swear we would make a fortune.

somewhere in the low teens. ( I got a few from guys who only need 1 , Billy Graham let me have 1 for free , the Pope charged me 4 bucks .) I had a deal in the makings with Jesse but then that ' affair thing ' came out so he had to cancel.
