My Life on a Plate

Epitaphs

Dan's frustration at not having the opportunity to do all he wanted at the weekend reminded me of a comment he left in one of my entries regarding the number of journals I read. He described me as 'amazing' and a 'faithful and dear blogger.' The truth is that despite not going out to work I still find it impossible to achieve everything I want to do, particularly on this site.

My inner feeling is that throughout my life I have always tried to do too much, the price paid for being born a perfectionist. Obviously I fail in every aspect of life because nothing and no one is perfect. Basically, it's difficult to change your nature but I often wish I was less concerned about how much I can achieve in each day. However, I DO consider it a pleasure and a MUST to read all my favourite journals, even if it means other tasks on 'the list' get neglected.

I sometimes joke that if I'd chosen burial I'd have 'In life she pushed herself too hard; now she's just pushing up the daisies.' as my epitaph.

That led me to remember when I did some research for a story on funny epitaphs. Here's a few that amused me...

1. Looked up the elevator shaft to see if it was on the way down. It was.

2. She always said her feet were killing her. Now we believe her.

3. I'd rather be here than in Texas. Now don't go getting upset -the lady was buried in Colorado Springs - her ex husband in Texas.

4. I told you I was sick.

5. Here lies an athiest. All dressed up and nowhere to go.

Now have I got time to run round my favourites before the cooker demands my attention? You bet! Who needs dinner early anyway?

P.S. Mrs Tor - For the meaning of 'Pimply Sissing', just reverse the two starting letters. It's one way of getting round this altering the rating business and translated it means it's pouring with rain.
