Boy, this is rich! A zombie telling a normal person how to dress. I happen to be thrifty and, for the money I pay for my clothes at Walmart, I insist on getting the value out of them.

I don't have to assume anything, Fay. Your posts are always witty, charming, and especially well worth reading.

And damn, I hope your eyes clear up very soon.

Unfortunately, it's back to the broom closet for you.

Double entrendre: I had no idea you speak Italian.

Aren't you sweet, worrying about a sweater for my poor thin bones. Martha once read a magazine article titled something like, "10 ways to tell you're getting old." One of them was, "You always take a sweater 'just in case,' " No truer words were ever spoken.

I don't know, but you've chosen a lot of books to read by April 1st.

Why do I get the feeling that if I had a dozen beautiful dancing girls in the photo you would still notice my monitor?

I took your motherly advice (like I always do) and darn, it was a spider! According to the exterminator I saw, it was a harmless male tarantula. Thanks for caring.

Excrescence. Golly you're smart.

Thank you! Washed-out torn blue is my favorite color. It matches my eyes.

Why have I not read Walters? And why am I asking you? I love psycological
thrillers, so thanks for the tip.

You know, I wonder about the jaundice problem—I mean, I ate an orange a few months ago. [wink, wink]

Thanks, Diane, for noticing my choppers. [blush]

Is there anything I should notice about you, except for your blog?

I was right when I said you're full of heart. Joe was certainly beloved, and he's waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge. I think I'll wait until you bring him to Heaven and you can teach me to ride him.

Hi, Trina! Alas, whilst fooling around with this fool computer, I accidently deleted you in Google reader. Since you weren't a follower, I couldn't find you again.

As far as writing, I'm doing very little I spend minimal time at the computer and maximal time in bed conserving energy.

I'll make note of your email address, and thanks for commenting.

You always say nice things, Hope, and I believe that you've tried your best all your life. Oh, maybe a slip here and there, but who doesn't slip up? We are hardly perfect, cannot attain perfection, so doing our best is the best we can do.

Why do I get the feeling that I'm preaching to the choir?

"The coolest part is that ... there ain't gonna be no pain. We will have no problems breathing or walking or talking and we will KNOW love and peace like never before.

So well said, Fay. It almost sounds like you'll need a list for all the things you'll be busy doing. And knowing you, you've barely begun your dreams.

I don't think Heaven will be a place to make apologies for things we did or did not do here on Earth. The friends and family who have gone before us forgave us a long time ago.

Yes! A religion for zombies! Commandment 1: Thou shalt not eat your friends and families.

Damn good idea there, Mrs. Zombie.

Imagining a personal hereafter is a fine exercise but too much, even for the dying, is a bit too, uh, morbid.

As far as your second paragraph, no comment. My intention of this essay was never to attack or denigrate anyones' beliefs or religion. I do, however, know what you're talking about.

Hi, Syd! I have no idea if my construct of Heaven holds an ounce of water, but my biggest hope is to see my critters, my family without their earthly burdens, and my friends.

And imagination a place where there are no addictions and all the pain and horror they have caused.

This is a hard one to comment on because you're so complex, Kim. I would like to think that we'll meet somewhere in some kind of afterlife, but nobody really knows.

And if we do meet again for the first time, please bring your Celtic bouzouki—what a beautiful sound—and your camera for some face (and group) shots.

I think there's two ways to handle forthcoming death: either mortal fear, or an immortal vision that makes the wait MUCH easier and something to look forward to.

I'm so happy to hear that your mom has constructed her own vision and is happy about it.

No, once I'm gone I'm not coming back to tell all; if I have to wait, then so do all the rest of you. But for you, Linda, I'll have my ghost writer send you an email as soon as I meet Bill Faulkner.

Heaven can use plenty of Shelties, but Irish isn't fond of cantankerous cats.

Fools galore, actually, since I (we) don't really know what a soul is.

Thanks, Stinky. Whatever happened to your pet blog? That's where I learned about the Rainbow Bridge . . .

Lots and lots of places to hike and explore, Jan.

How will I ever miss a kind, classy, intelligent lady with an English accent like you?

May I ride one of your horsies? The only ones I've ever ridden were on carousels.

And you get the award for bringing tears to my eyes—such nice words from a lady full of heart. Thank you, Pam.

And I like yours even better.
