I think I'll pass. Just make sure my Life Membership pin and my Pearls are with my body.

Whoa! Taking school sprit a little too far?

Y'all, I am not surprised that this article focuses on the Lexington, KY area. I went to college out there and Lexington is FANATICAL (borderline crazy) about UK (Univ. of KY). Its nausiating if you ask me. Everything has a sign in blue and white or the name Wildcat in it (Wildcat Laundry, Wildcat cleaners, Wildcat Funeral Home...ok, I just playing on the that one, but I wouldn't be surprised).

Ok, I am definitely going to have to take a ZERO on this one.

What about that Dr. that is being sued for marking a woman's uterus with "UK". According to him he was "marking" it so he would know which direction it was in. WTF????

And got flamed, but here goes. Warning: this story is graphic, IT SHOWS THE PICTURE:

OH MY!

Why ya'll? Why?

I say just cremate me and skip the box.

That Dr. ought to be shot.

Sorors and friends,

a Soror from my chapter passed away last week and her casket had pink flowers on the outside and stitched to the satin on the inside. plus, she had other AKA items in with her. it was really nice and quite tasteful.

The guy who taught my Series 7 class was an U of MI alum, and he was decked out. Michigan leather jacket, watch, navy car with a license plate with the U of M symbol on it, even his cell played the fight song when it rang, and he made sure to bring U of M into his lesson at least once a day. I would not be surprised if the got a casket like this when he passed on...does anyone else know someone who would do that? I got love for my school, but it ain' that serious.

Lord knows, I love Spelman. But, I would NEVER want a Spelman themed casket. IT'S TACKY! It's seem more like a "clear people" thing to me.

Also, the doctor and the alma mater markings is disgusting. However, why were two of his patients on Good Morning America defending him. "When you get good doctors, we should support them" CRAZY!

I can't really see anyone of my generation buyingone of those things.

Well now that I think about it I can't think of the old blue generation getting that either. Those old Yalies are far too "well bred" for something as commercial as that. Muffy and Babs (the 60 year old second wives who used to be trophies) would be horrified.

I couldn't picture anyone from Southern getting a casket, but I bet the LSU ones would sell like hotcakes.

I visited the website of the casket company a few months ago, and they make caskets for HBCUs as well (I remember seeing a Morehouse and Spelman one).

College was one of the best times of my life but DANG, I don't think I want to take it that far.

Uhhhhhh, I don' t think you know the peeps from Baton Rouge too well, do you? I bet they would, then when you read their obituary you will NOT find that they received ANY degree from SU-BR, SUNO, or SU-S/B.



LMAO!
