  i use to think that going door to door had its hazardous moments, but the time i was bitten by a dog wow.

  that was scary.

  i still can't figure out why the mutt bit me as i love animals.

  When I was about four or five, my mother and I were walking pass this junkyard. We were on the side walk and I remember this HUGE (well to me it was) German Shepard charging us. His teeth barred and coming at me. My mother pushed me out of the way and the dog bit her instead of me. When he sunk his teeth into her thigh, I was screaming.

  Mom, stabbed him with the comb she had in her hand. The owner was yelling about his dog. I remember the police came and took the dog. Mom went to the doctor to have the bite cleaned. I was terrified of big dogs until I got older.

  if you click on the link below what you'll see is an aerial view of the llano cemetery, located in amarillo, texas -- the place where i'll probably be buried.

  the gravestones can actually be seen.

  they are the white specks, all layed out in rows.

  Okay I am going to chime in here, because I have spent two years of my life dealing with a cemetery that is over 150 years old.. that is still active. In the research we have done, there are many reasons people bury facing directions, east, west, north, south, etc. It has to to with beliefs, personal feelings, whim, etc. I have seen burials in a circle, semi circle,etc.

  Some early burials (depending on religion) were buried facing east, the rising sun = rising of the dead. The symbolism on the headstones really says it all. Wreaths, pointing hands, clasping hands, roses, palm leaves, etc. all have meaning and tells a story about the person who is laid to rest.

  Now days, there are so many ways to be buried. Some people are cremated and mixed into mortar to form a coral reef, some are shot off into space, some are condensed into gems, some even just are tossed into the wind.

  There is no "right" or "wrong" way to be memorialized, buried, etc. It is a personal decision.

  Which Ones Got To YOU?

  rather than hijacking lostreality's "question" topic, and frannie's post---i began to think of movies that were particularly moving to me...... there have been many throughout the years, but right off the top of my head i'd have to say "imitation of life" (lana turner), "love is a many splendored thing" (william holden), "the way we were" (barbra streisand) and "evergreen" (barbra streisand) that really made me lose it in the theater.. what movies struck *you* the hardest?.

  annie....who should have invested in the kleenex corp)

  LittleToe's Travels - Dec 2004

  sorry if i'm boring you once more, but it seemed like a good way to finish off the year.... so i'm sitting here listening to "wilderness of mirrors" by fish, wracking my brains to recount the events of the last two weeks.. it started by knocking off early to catch a flight to glasgow, on the 17th.

  i normally catch a boat and drive down, but i managed to get a flight that was cheaper, so i went for the comfort instead.

  mistake number one was forgetting to print off a map for the carhire place, though.

  Little Toe,

  I am glad to hear of your travels and how much fun you have. Yes, Guy is a terrific person. The conversations we have had and laughter. Tamar couldn't have made a better choice.

  Mulan and everyone sounds like wonderful people. I cannot wait to meet them myself.

  The Guilt, The PANIC Attacks, the fear.. all of it was HORRIBLE and confusing. Some understood, others didn't and some still can't in some aspects. Yet you go on. Even now, when I think I am going on fine.. I get smacked with something and it comes flooding back.

  Sis,

  You had the wildest imagination as a child. When you sleep you put yourself deep. Watch out for flying limbs! So it is not hard to think you dream hard too.
