Way to go! [Maybe alkaline hydrolysis]

No coffin for me

I'd rather go up in flames,

Yeah I'll be smokin'

This made me laugh a little.
Sounds similar to something my friend who passed away recently said to me once.
"They going to have to burn me. Smoke me like a blunt and s**t."
It took me back to him saying those words to me not long before he passed. Thanks for this.😊

Me too John. Strong coffee needed to awake my sleeping mind. Good morning John from Michigan.

This reminds me of one of those silly quizzes I took as a teenager. It was "How Will you Die?" and my result was "gunshot" because I was always defending causes. Back then, my primary concern was the environment. It is still very high on my priority list, though I focus on more root causes these days.

Sounds like you got your priorities right Kari. Many thanks.
Ha ha. No burial for me. I don't like the dark or worms. I'm gonna make a nice fire instead too. Happy Friday John.

I echo Jacobs words, the nails of your coffin are not available yet
