As promised -

Here is my story I have been meaning to tell for a few weeks. I had to go to STL for work a few weeks ago. I met a co-worker in Kingdom City and rode with her. When we got back to my car later that afternoon, my battery was dead. I guess I left my lights on. Like any good boy scout, neither one of us had jumper cables. I went into the McDonald's to ask the workers. I asked the first lady I saw - she was cleaning up the dinning room. She told me she had some and then grilled if I was a customer. I told her I was not planning to eat that day, but if it was deal breaker, I would buy something. I assured her I had a 3 year old and we frequented McDonald's. To move on, she got the cables, we jumped my car, and I took them in to her. I thanked her and was ready to walk away when she asked of she could share something with me. Not being rude, I agreed. She proceeded to tell me that cremation was bad - it hurt and I should in no way, ever consider it. Human bodies were not meant for cremation and it was painful. Please don't do it. I just smiled, thanked her again and walked away. Obviously there are religious view behind this, but seriously! Why would she not be worried about my soul and just the vessel? I am not too hip on cremation, but I am not sure it matters what happens to my body once I am dead. I mean I am no longer there! Anyway, I know some religions have very strong views on this. Just an interesting story!!

I saw Twilight last night. While it was lacking in places, I am totally smitten with Edward!! Too bad stuff like that does not exist in real life!!
