Work was crazy… cause I miss yesterday so I spent all day today – doing yesterdays things and trying to catch back up 🤨
They wanna know what I thought of the training – oh I will let you know don’t worry – I will write that up tmrw 👍
And then lol … I told my staff I getting you new chairs (I’m not really) but I said – these are them:
Lol … but fitting right? Lol ❤️👏
Totally wish!! Was only teasing them lol – they didn’t like them anyway 😄😄✌️
Also… omg 😳… I was looking for something else and look what I find 😱…
😱😱😱😳😳😳
Ok now… I don’t know I even wanna work in a funeral home after seeing this!! 😳😱 it’s in Spanish, so I didn’t understand the words in the trailer – but doesn’t really need words 😳😱
Completely creeped out without understand language 😳😱
This is not how is… but will set your imagination for scary 😧 😳😱
Who makes that kinda movie?! 😳😱 … I have to work there!!
So… my day was scary and crazy at same time! But I stayed alive so far – knock on wood!
Thank god for now 😮😳🙏🙏
Learning Life 
I would have laughed at the chairs!!
Horror movies are stupid to me. The few words on the trailer are captioned in English. Paraphrased: How can we not have a demon when we have a funeral parlor in the house? I have seen the demon, it likes to play with its victims. Tonight is ots last chance.

Lol… I’ve watched captioned films for decades and now have captions on nearly all the time. It’s definitely a learned skill!!
I understand some Spanish and get annoyed when the captions are not exact. Sometimes using a common English word misses the nuance of the specific word.
Back in the 70s, watching Kentucky Fried Movie, there’s a sequence called Fist Full Of Yen that parodies kung fu movies with bad dubbing and obviuosly incorrect captions. Out of the blue, my friend started laughing hysterically. She’s Korean and that’s the language the actors were really speaking. In a fight scene, which is translated as commands from the master to the trainees to attack, he’s actually saying things like Cabbage! Eggplant! Noodles!!

It’s funny, but the terminology is in fact present in the UK. But like you have just said – the elders still use old terminology – Britain uses older terminology also.
I grew up with the terms Undertakers and Undertaking services and l used to live next door to an Undertakers in the mid 90’s.
But closer inspections have revealed more funeral directors and funeral homes.
This country is mid change 🙂
Caskets is still not a thing used here that much – when l buried my dad four years ago, l was showed an array of ‘delightful coffins’ so caskets is still young 🙂

No matter how say is same thing –
Just our words more professional sounding because they are professionals ❤️ We have a trade
And the other words just seem softer to take away the edge of death
Casket is just nicer than coffin … with coffin I think of Dracula 🧛♂️ 😮
Undertaker makes me think of some really skinny man standing in a graveyard with this starving mangie dog… while holding a shovel – makes me think of creepy!!
That is not us
Funeral Director sounds important – which they are ❤️ and you have no idea the things we see and do 😮😳
And funeral home … makes it softer than mortuary … we a home for you to come say good bye and pay last respects. You going home…
Mortuary sounds cold.
So we just warm it up so is better all around
I didn’t realize how old school England is? Lol omg Americans must drive them nuts lol
We are not old school … so for me…

Well, Britain is still very ancient in many ways. Suze and l were discussing that the other day regarding Cannabis oils and how despite growing the stuff in this country, they’ll not legalise it but will grow and export and profit from it.
Britain needs a massive wake-up to the millennium call but is always dragging its heels.
I think many people are more modernistic than traditions are. But conventional thinking combined with these traditions makes this country lose out on so much.

Well… ok I am in America … so I know both sides …
We have states that it’s legal – is legal in California… you can just go in a dispensary store or even just have delivered to your house if you wish – welcome to California
Is very umm … not old school here
Progressive
But then you have states like texas where is illegal
So 🤷♀️ … but Texas too tough on everything though … is republican
I am Californian
So I am probably not good to ask – I am Californian
I do not care – it is not a thing… you wanna smoke – smoke or eat or whatever else
I use a cream on my breasts that helps the pain
Also I am an advocate because of cancer
And if you want to dive into medical conditions we can… such as epilepsy and glaucoma … also anxiety
I do believe there are benefits. I do not do … but during cancer yes.
And again – I use a cream. Is only one to take pain away.
The revenue alone that England could take in 😮 … didn’t we fight you guys because of your taxes ? Boston Tea Party?
Why they not want this plant ?? They just fighting it because they think is bad due to stigma.
Unfortunately not look at big picture for helping people and also making revenue
So … hmm 🤔 England 👀 sup?
They also have tea just fyi ✌️remember what you taxed us on? Lol – I totally only tease because was eons ago but then why you not aid your country? In many ways?
I can see cons in some areas… because lack of drive if abuse… is like alcohol – is mind/body substance
But they at least happy
I would rather have prohibition and outlaw alcohol – keep pot ✌️
Pot doesn’t destroy families
Also they found marijuana in ancient caves in Israel ?? Pretty sure was Israel?
Is natural plant just like tobacco but with healing helping properties
Ancients not dumb
Only modern society adds stigma and fear 🙄 you have seen world right?
But English is definitely way more proper old school
We are not that way lol
We went the other way – plus we mix so many cultures
Not to mention – is America… we capitalist … so the almighty dollar 💵
Hello 🇬🇧 UK
Medical benefits plus you allow alcohol – what is difference??? Is worse!!!
So 🤷♀️
But again – remember I had cancer AND I am Californian – I know the benefits and help it can provide
I do not see help and benefits with alcohol yet England sells that?? 🤷♀️
Ahhh double standard ??
But whatever up to each individual place
They do lose out though
I would be in so much pain without that cream ❤️ so … you can’t ask me… I am Californian ✌️
We liberal and pretty free ❤️✌️
Although I am not totally liberal ✌️

This is basically what Suze and l were discussing, make pot legal and ban alcohol, way less hassles.
I was even wondering if l could grow it on the allotment and pretend it was a tomato plant hahaha, but Suze was like, no we would get caught and we probably would! We are too honest at times.

You will never be able to ban alcohol unfortunately … we already tried to do prohibition – didn’t work – went bad… they just made alcohol anyway … still don’t see it working – I wish … but don’t see it happening realistically
Especially in England – pubs are big there aren’t they?
But yes would be less hassles if could do
Do NOT risk that allotment you wait and want for so badly – I would not do that on the allotment – don’t get banned for life!
Maybe privately at your home – but otherwise not worth it to chance it. You work too hard for what you want
Do they allow you to grow plants?
Too bad you not here cause that could be business for you too
There is a weed for you to showcase lol
Not only can you tell of the plant – but the history of the plant – how can help some people and the present day views on the plant ✌️
But I would not do anything that would risk allotment
Do privately at home 😊
If you want that – get a light kit
Also… it does not LOOK or SMELL like tomatoes lol 😄

I do understand England’s hesitation though – you don’t just want a country of lazy bums … and it is a altering substance so… just like some abuse alcohol, this too can be abused.
And given state of world, mental health wise – while does help some with anxiety?? People should still be careful
And does England want to do that to its people ? Is it a debate there?
And also a thing to take into consideration is … is England able to currently control it? If not, then why not make money for England’s people or schools or health care with it?! Even military !
Also if England supplies it to others and profits that way – then what is difference ?

Well it’s death so we have to be respectful… but yes we open always
We do coffee and donuts or things like that – not biscuits lol that’s dinner thing
But we always open to anyone who want more info on anything… current or planning
We do “at need” – meaning when you need us – when someone dies
And we do “preneed” or prearrangements – to plan your death
So if you want info on either one – we happy to give to someone without any pressure – just info.
No tshirts with quirky slogans – is corporation… and funerals … utmost respect always!!
And it is US who put the Fun in Funeral… but not with grieving families
We just make it so not completely devastating and we help people through the grief – I would not say that is fun! Usually – although I have seen a lot of stuff!!!
People do die to come see us ✌️
Aprons – no… anything we offer or give is in good taste – cause again is funerals – not something people wanna be funny with usually – and aprons would have a really bad meaning since we do embalmings and cremations
Is not normal business so we always have to be aware of families mind set and show compassion during their time of need.
Our funniness and humor is amongst ourselves – however sometimes a small bit of laughter during tears can help 😊❤️
We deal with a profession that devastates people so we very aware of that. ✌️
Is not your average business. Must be respectful always and have compassion with those we help.
Some humor is ok, but just depends on family. Sometimes is good for a small laugh on a memory or something?
But some families absolutely devastated!! I have one like that right now. They can not function, which we understand completely, so we ok going at their pace. But they are beyond devastated
I imagine that is way “I” will be – when my mother passes
So yeah we are careful with our humor. Is not always appropriate and is a business that needs to be respectful at ALL times.
😊✌️
But with just us, like my chairs 😄❤️ – is ok … just with families we are more delicate and the family takes lead with how we proceed
We deal with people in their most devastating and vulnerable moments. So is way more delicate than a normal business.

It’s been everything queen here also – we also love you guys lol ❤️😘✌️ plus “we have Harry” ❤️❤️
I remember my mother just GLUED to TV when Diana married Charles and then every time she see them lol
She loved the royal family lol … my mom loved the fairy tale aspect of it ❤️ was “dreamy” to her
She LOVED Diana ❤️ we ALL did!!
William – my mother thought was such a well mannered nice looking young man – taking after his mother ❤️
Harry was the little one with twinkle in his eye ❤️ she loved his red hair!
We were never really fans of Charles 🤷♀️ I do not know what is? He is not very much a people person and then that whole thing with Camilla ugh 😑 bad bad bad and then Andrew and all that!!
People be people but you in spotlight – watch your step. Control self for how you wish to be seen. Yes we all young and dumb once and is hard in public eye – but cmon! Know what you have!! And what were given!
So that is a thing little bit?? For me lol ✌️
Speaking honestly
And for the Queen – my utmost respect
That woman has been through incredible things and did handle herself and responses with poise and honor – given her generation.
Utmost respect ✊
Can not be easy to have your family scrutinized through life!! Every word – every action! I can imagine we all have our crosses to bear
That is theirs – they born to it – can not just escape
And British are prim and proper lol – that is your traditions of that country.
Is quite historical ❤️ we are living through history moments
This is definitely mark of sadness for country because of the fact that everyone pretty much grew up with her … even us! 😮
She is your countries one constant that always there… always poised
Nothing wrong with that or your pomp and circumstance
You could say she was Queen of the world because EVERYONE knows who Queen of England was!! Is there any other as big? So has momentum
Her life is pretty incredible ya know?
But I understand the constant death in face and only thing they speaking of!! Like nothing else is happening anywhere in the world
Who is England’s Queen now? 🤨 I’m not gonna like this … but who is it? Ugh
Not my circus but throwing my 2cents ✌️
The Kennedy’s were the closest to royalty that we used to have
We don’t have your Royal stuff

I can not even imagine to know an England without royalty? 😮
Would only happen if they fuck it up so badly now after queen dies … so we see how Charles do.
So if Charles dies it immediately passes to William right? NOT Camilla ?
