Aren't there predators in Tennesee, USA ?? Mountain lions, or cougars, or such ??

Alas, wish it were still true. My mom heard them in the Smoky Mountains where she lived in her youth. She could hear their screams when she walked home from school. A few may still exist in those mountains, but maybe not. It is believed that they are possibly all gone from Tennessee.

Otherwise, here kitty, kitty ! !!

When I lived in the Syskiyous Mountians (just west about 15 miles of the town where I live now,) you could hear the cougars in the summer nights, just screaming for the hell of it. The coyotes sound like they are quibbling loudly among theirselves as they scramble across the valley just in the dusk , telling you to let your own kitties inside for they are crunchy and taste good even with out ketchup/vegimite.

I'll be dead so what does it matter? I'm more concerned with what happens to my body while I'm alive!

I want to be cremated. They couldn't use my organs because of the medication I take.

Anything left after the spare parts are donated, and science is done with me, is to be cremated and buried under a rose bush

Pitched sounds easiest, but
I wouldn't mind being auctioned off either.

You could easily have both--first pitched, then show up on ebay

My esteemed employer, Mister Scrooge, came up with a good one.
He wants his body dumped in a cat food factory. He says that way his crazy ex-wives will be having him on a cracker, which would be quite appropiate ! !!

EAT ME ! !! !

I think that cremation is the cheapest and most ecologically responsible way to go, but I can't really stomach the thought of being cremated. So, I voted buried - but maybe I'll come around by the time I am ready to go. I suppose that it doesn't really matter.. As long as my organs are harvested - that's the one thing that I have strong feelings about needing to be done.
