Do you like walking through cemeteries?

I don't exactly enjoy it, bit I don't go out of my way to avoid it, if the situation arises.

Yes,yes,yes! Seriously, walking through a cemetery makes me feel happy,relaxed and elated.

About as much I like falling asleep with clothespins on my ears. I get impossibly blue, not because of the death thing but because there's always some grave that you can tell hasn't been visited or taken care of in a long time. It's kind of dilapidated and dusty, and the flowers look like they've been there for years, wilted and brown.

Yes, in the day time.

Walking and driving.

I think they're pretty interesting.I love looking at all the names & dates.

Yep.. I've even done two photoshoots in a cemetery.

Yes, I've taken double exposure ghost looking photos there. Also my mom and an art teacher I'm about to take again are fond of grave-stone rubbing outings.
I also had a partner that was fond of doing our rehearsals for nightingale out in the cemetary.

I love walking through cemeteries.

Yes, I do.

Yes, I love it! Great survey!!

Photoshoots for what?

Yes, for the same reason as I enjoy sitting by myself in cathedrals and churches. There is a very rare form of tranquility in cemetaries that is hard to find in other places.

I find them fascinating and romantic places but I don't make a point of going to visit them.

I love it! But I doubt I'd enjoy it at night or if I was at a funeral - but neither of those are experiences I've ever had.

It depends on the cemetery. Some are more interesting than others.

I have no problem with them during the day. I like to ride my bike on the trails in the one in my neighborhood. If it's night though, I can't even go visit my nephews grave.

I've only ever visited cemeteries as a tourist. To see the gravestones of local people of importance, that sort of thing. Our people don't bury their dead. We cremate.

there is a cemetary in my home town with a whole family of people buried there...they are named the...
Blood family..no bullcrap..a whole family..tombstones and all..and there is a petrified tree next to the burial site with a book on top that says Blood on it...very freaky
so yes i like walking through cemetaries

I once saw a tombstone in France with the name Leopold Fudgeer on it. (hee hee!)

One of the credits on Buffy the Vampire Slayer is to a Thomas Wanker!!! I always wonder why he doesn't chnage his name! lol

LOL I've never noticed that! These days the credits after TV shows get squeezed over to the side of the screen so they can run an ad, usually promoting the upcoming show. It makes it pretty hard to read the credits. Do your stations do that?

I have been watching Buffy regularly lately, and I sure enjoy it. Lots of laughs!

Sometimes they do it. Especially in the kids tv slots. There are presenters in between the shows, and the titles get queezed to the side so that they can talk. Drives me mad sometimes!!!

Especially the Supervillian nerds!

In general I do, but there are certain (usually old) ones here in Maine that REALLY give me the willies when I walk or drive by, and I tend not to go wandering in them alone.

I have enjoyed many a peaceful outing in cemetaries though. Some have nice feelings to them, and some give me the creeps. Sometimes one that feels nice during the day scares me at night.

I'd like to sell coffins.

The Trio? They are pretty funny. Do you remember when they were harassing Buffy and she found the "evil lint" on her back? I laughed so hard! I'll never look at lint the same way again!

I know what you mean. How pathetic is it to have your car horn play the Star Wars theme (that episode was on Tuesday night)?

Maybe we should go into business together.

You'd like that?

Actually I've always been fascinted by the funeral business. Maybe I'm just morbid.

Me too! I have no idea how one, get one's foot in the door(Hush romkey!), so to speak. They all seem like family run enterprises and there seems to be such a shroud(hehe)around death and anything to do with it. I saw an add for a "special individual" to help out a funeral director "in a quandary" by selling certain items. I assumed coffins, markers maybe even urns.

I got a phone call from a telemarketer last night who tried to sell me a funeral plot at a local cemetery. I already have a funeral plot as does my sister, so I told them no and don't call again. I know all the local ones are family run, so I couldn't give you a clue how to get your foot in the door either (BE QUIET romkey). My dad worked at a funeral home back in the late 30's washing and dressing the bodies and putting them in their coffins in preparation for the funeral, but quit after a body groaned.

I'd like to wash the bodies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*jumps up and down*

Even if they groaned?

Especially!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you want to know why that body groaned? > Or don't you care?

Escaping gases?

Somewhat. As I said my father prepared the bodies by washing and dressing them and putting them in their respective coffins. The funeral home used a regular garden hose type of system to rinse the body and after my father had soaped up this body, he was running the hose over the body to rinse off the soap and when he got to the chest, the water pressure causes trapped air to come out of the lungs across the vocal cords. My father told me he almost crapped his pants when that happened. He quit and NEVER went back.

Well, my week just got so much BETTER! (I say this with the utmost sarcasm). My glasses broke about an hour ago, right on the bridge. My son and I managed to jury-rig tape the two halves together with electrical tape, but now I look like Groucho Marx (we had to put tape on the upper part of the frame as a brace). All I need now is a cigar, a mustache and 3 brothers.

*tries to look sympathetic*
*busts up*
(((hugs you)))

Thanks, I needed that! Are you watching 20/20 Downtown? They are doing an interview with John List the man who murdered his family in 1971 and was on the lam for 18 years.

Not really

I like doing drugs in cemeteries. I'v candy-fliped in one. That's one hell of a trip.

yes and im always hoping a ghost will come home with me
