Wait, there's a "don't close the eyes" discount? :shock:
They got a 2000 dollar discount because they hadn't closed the eyes of the person in the coffin by the time the viewing started. The family members were offended, and they seemed to think the discount would help ease the pain or something.

Really, they should have done their job correctly.

Indeed, reuse my organs or send me off for a medical student to cut and learn so I help other people.

I'm on the fence as far as donating my body to med school students, but all for giving living people my insides. With my organs out, I don't need college students looking at my naked corpse using me as a specimen.

Use my living parts, scrap the rest, and please don't put me in a pickle jar (kids listen to Brak right?).

Oh, I thought the family was given an option of choices/services, and that "close eyes" was one they didn't choose to save some cash. Kept thinking...

Yeah, dsh, its a case of 'we screwed up bad, have 1/3 of your money back'.



Just something to throw up- do you guys get more excited about Nintend releases? It doesn't matter for me, if it comes from Nintendo, I get exponentianally more excited. Even if its a multiplatform release, the Nintendo version makes me gidddy like a Japanese schoolgirl...

Does anyone know of a good up-to-date paypal fees calculator or know the exact percentage they take out when sending a regular payment? When making bigger purchases from people on sites like GameTZ I don't want to send gifted payments, but I don't know the exact amount to send so they won't lose money to fees.

Random thought: A toilet brush does wonders on cleaning automobile wheels. Just don't use it to clean the toilet again.

lol I just caught some guy trying to steal cans from my trash outside my house. The joke's on him though as I don't drink soda or canned beer.
