Or not.

Today we ripped this meme off a blogger named CV Rick blog named Ninja Writer. It’s 50 questions so we will do it in two parts. He stated that he grabbed it from Wry Catcher. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft’s thieves might take some time. Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!

Cheers to all of us thieves!

2. What are you reading now? Esquire just came in the mail. I scanned AARP magazine last night.

3. Do you own a gun? No, and I have never shot a pistol. I’ve only shot a small rifle a couple times. I’d like to shoot a pistol just to see what it’s like.

Dying Can Be Fun! Hosparus? Really?

Smallburg has a new business: Hosparus.

Really? Hospice R Us?

Where people go to blow bubbles before they die.

Their website says if you get admitted to Hospice R Us early enough, you can have a great time! Shucks, sounds like a good deal…

If they begin hospice care early, many patients with life-limiting illnesses can still enjoy their favorite pastimes. Hosparus helps people face end-of-life issues with as much care and thought as any other milestone in life – so they can enjoy quality of life as much as possible.

I’m ready to move in today. There are five quality of life indicators that would qualify me to move into a nursing home:

  • ability to toilet myself independently
  • ability to feed myself
  • ability to get out of the recliner
  • ability to balance
  • I forget the last one

Hells bells, I can fake all of those and do quite regularly just to get out of chores.

Hospice R Us? Really? Really?

That’s not too cute a name?

Hosparus has just one hitch: you have to be dying of an incurable illness.

Drat.

One of my favorite poets, Lord Byron was the subject of a painting of life before Hosparus came on the scene.

I think I want to die like Lord Byron. Wonder if Hospice R Us would give me a wreath of cigar leaves to wear? And a sword, I want a sword near my death-bed.

The harp? Not so much.  I’ve spent my whole live harping.
