She lived down the street when I moved in 30+ years ago. Told me stories about sledding down 8th Ave (major street even 30 year ago) and horses pulling them back up for the next run. Retired art teacher. She LOVED computers and was so excited about the possibilities they presented. She was a firecracker!!!

Anyway... the two songs I remember from her funeral were "Hello Young Lovers" from The King and I and, for the Recessional, Camp Town Races!! We all left the church singing "Doo dah, doo dah!"

Your story reminded me of it If it is offensive, I'll remove it

The local news station was interviewing an 80-year-old lady because she had just gotten married for the fourth time.

The interviewer asked her questions about her life, about what it felt like to be marrying again at 80, and then about her new husband’s occupation. “He’s a funeral director,” she answered. “Interesting,” the newsman thought. He then asked her if she wouldn’t mind telling him a little about her first three husbands and what they did for a living.

She paused for a few moments, needing time to reflect on all those years.

After a short time, a smile came to her face and she answered proudly, explaining that she had first married a banker when she was in her 20’s, then a circus ringmaster when in her 40’s, and a preacher when in her 60’s, and now – in her 80’s – a funeral director The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished, and asked why she had married four men with such diverse careers.

(Wait for it…)

She smiled and explained: “I married

One for the money,

Two for the show,

Three to get ready,

And four to go!”

Other than his physical appearance and the sound of his voice, that hand gesture is the thing I find most annoying about him, and he does it endlessly. It's usually followed by an open palm gesture, sort of a backward wave, which seems to be body language for "Hey, take it or leave it, don't take my word for it, but I'm right."

...and the Bowie purists were all up in arms that Commander Hadfield changed the lyrics? Apparently they missed out on the part where in Bowie's version Major Tom died...and Commander Hadfield wouldn't have wanted to sing about that when he was 200 miles above the surface of the earth.
