Can you get the chick with one eye aimed one way and one eye aimed the other way to ride the escort motorcycle with training wheels? And, can I be the next one in line behind the chick with hot pants and a tube-top, ya know, the one with the BIG rolls of CELLULITE FAT, and she can try to use that credit card that expired in 1992, and I'll have to wait to order Grammy's pine box?

If i was a funeral home director, I would charge more for the use of the facilities for those who buy their caskets elsewhere. And judging by the website peopleofwlamart.com they could probably just use refrigerator crates.

Oh who cares! Dead is dead. Do you really think the dead person is going to care if they fall out the bottom? Besides how do we know that that doesn't happen already?

This is just the beginning people. But who can blame them? With the way humans are killing off each other, who cares? I'm surprised it took this long to happen. I'm more worried about the crook who wants to kill me over MY OWN BELONGINGS, then getting buried in a Wally's World casket!!!

I assume none of you have ever had to buy a casket or urn. If you had, you've know what a rip off the whole industry is. I see no problem with getting a good deal on your purchase, if you can save money, why not? The dead don't care, their dead!!

Before my Mom died, she requested to be cremated. When I spoke with a local funeral home, they quoted $599 for a small varnished oak box. My priest told me he could do better and got the exact same box for $99. Come on Walmart and cut those thieves prices and show them the true meaning of price gouging.

Mamm forgive me if I sound morbid, but we bought our plots and paid for our service ahead of time to save our kids the problem. Nothing funny about this at al,have a good and safe night.

Daily Horoscope for December 29

Libra

An emotional situation is as clear as mud today. You aren't sure about your feelings for a certain someone, nor are you convinced that you know what they're playing at. They may be saying one thing and doing another, and you might even suspect that they're playing games with you or trying to get what they can out of the relationship. Or maybe you're imagining the whole thing? Admit it - at this stage you simply don't know.
