After a nine month hiatus, The Neverending Story, the granddaddy of daily threads, has returned to Free Republic. Originally begun on March 24, 2001, as a religious discussion thread, the NES evolved over time into a daily thread spanning a wide variety of topics. The new and improved Neverending Story will feature conversation on religion, politics, culture, current events, business, sports, family, hobbies, general fellowship and more. We welcome you to hang your hat in our little corner of FR. We ask you to abide by the FR posting rules and, even in the midst of serious debate, to keep the discussion friendly and respectful. Those who wish to "duke it out" are asked to take it over to the Smoky Backroom. I placed this thread in "General/Chat" for a reason, so play nice and have fun! :o)
Ok, I'm curious. Which cemetary and was there a connection with the guy and his car?
The cemetery is called "Brush Creek." I meant historic not in the sense that it was widely known about the world for something-or-other, but rather that it, and its Presbyterian Church, dates to the 18th Century and was one of the first Churches established out here in the frontier west of the Alleghenies.
The guy, obviously, loved his car.

I guess so! :) People are really personalizing their funerals lately I guess.
I usually just try to personalize the flowers I send by taking items to the florist and having them insert them into the arrangement.
My husband's uncle was a master woodworker so we had a rather masculine floral arrangement of leaves/cat tails, pebbles and a couple of pieces of wood inserted. It was striking and personified his life.
I'm not sure I'd want to walk into a funeral home and have the deceased sitting there in a chair like nothing happened.
Way back when, I posted info on our new church building. Click on the pic below to go to the Saint Jude home page and click on Cam A and Cam B for some live construction shots. It was supposed to be completed by now, but a rainy winter set us back. Looks like it'll be ready this Fall. It will look like the rendering below, but without the bell tower. We'll add that at a later date.
Nice!
Looks like its being built real well. I'd have to say it looks like there's a great chance of one stone being left upon another. :-)
We just finished Claremore High and Jr High Schools and are headed to Squawa Schools tomorrow.

Dang, too bad you have to toil. Could be worse, the pain of childbirth perhaps. :-)
Aren't you glad you're semi-retired?
I have had my childbirth activity and don't plan on any more. :-)
I hear passing kidney stones are akin to childbirth. :-)
The usual mischief. :o)
It's terrible :)
How do you bill? NET 30? It will feel much better when you deposit the cash receipts. ;o)

I saw this bumper sticker yesterday:
Vegetarian - Old Indian word meaning 'bad hunter'.
Should be. The team was 1-8 last year and hired a new coach for this year from a successful program. Now Butkus is going to be their "head coach," while the new real coach tries to turn around the program.
Everybody has consented to having their games filmed except for the season-ender at West Allegheny, whose coach is Pitt QB's dad (and former coach).

Looks like he's eaten a few too many Roethlisburgers to pass himself off as an NFL quarterback! ;o)
