This is going to have to be a \u201cdown-and-dirty\u201d one because this morning is my annual HVAC maintenance day \u2013 and like the cable people, you have to be available for them all morning long.\u00a0 (\u201cWe\u2019ll be there sometime between October and December.\u201d)<\/em><\/p>\n

(They do the AC in the spring and furnace in the fall.\u00a0 It\u2019s $165 for both, which may be a bit pricey \u2013 BUT if anything happens that you need emergency service, you go to the top of the list.\u00a0 And one year the AC went out when we were in a 100 degree stretch.\u00a0 It was a lifesaver!)<\/em><\/p>\n

So this is one that I hold back for those time-crunch occasions \u2013 like today.\u00a0 (You don\u2019t actually think I work on this all week long, do you?\u00a0 It\u2019s like those old school days of cramming for a test \u2026 the morning OF the test.)<\/em><\/p>\n

So in the spirit<\/em> of closing out the Halloween holiday, let\u2019s enjoy some funny \u2013 and a few thoughtful \u2013 headstones.\u00a0 We\u2019ll begin with that classic clich\u00e9 \u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some reflect people realizing their inevitable mortality …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Surprising (at least to me) there were quite a few with recipes on them<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some made me chuckle …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some were by folks who enjoy a good pun with a play on their surnames \u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And some famous folks who joked about their taglines from the great beyond \u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Do you think we could get braggadocio \u201cbusiness tycoon\u201d <\/span><\/span>Donald<\/strong><\/em> to put this one into action \u2026 like, RIGHT NOW<\/span>???<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here\u2019s a pair that happened to be paired right across from each other.\u00a0 McDonald\u2019s would love it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here\u2019s a gal who would have felt right at home in our group \u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

And we\u2019ll close with one that will keep you thinking for a bit \u2026<\/p>\n
