People sure seem to avoid using the words "dead" and "died"
this is very true!!!

dad's family always said "fertilizing the flowers"

I only chew my cabbage once! (That has to be my very favorite) I do not repeat myself. Not because I am nasty or anything, but once I say something I forget what I said. So either it wasn't very important to begin with or it wasn't
profound enough to repeat! Edie

Don't feel bad about directions. A friend was taking me to visit a relative and she told me, "See that truck well we make the next left turn." I almost "busted a gut" laughing". That truck is not always there as that was a work truck.
