Poppy count charitable donation grand plan
Each year since returning to Canada full-time in 2007, I have counted the poppies I see people wearing from the day the poppy campaign begins until 11am on November 11th. I'd tally up the count, donate 0.10$ per poppy, and send a cheque to a local veterans organization.
It used to be a sizeable donation.
In recent years, I've noticed my poppy count decreasing. I worry sometimes that people have begun to forget the past. I worry that we will soon relive their horrors in our future.
I don't base my donation on poppy counts anymore. And I no longer wait until Remembrance Day arrives to make them.
I am changing too. Hopefully, for the better.

I was visiting A Spot of T today and came across her obituary. Not to be outdone, I had to find out what my epitaph would say.

This was a good one. I punched in ‘Joy T’ and it came back with….I wish I could take a Spice Girl CD with me. WTF?? Personally I’d rather stick a hot poker in my eye. Where DO they come up with these things.

And mine said, “Gone underground for good”. Actually, thinking about it, that’s not bad *lol*

my obituary reads
“Screamingly in a speeding car, Sklator died a hilarious death. Sklator will be terribly missed by Mr. Potatohead”
