So, I made my grocery run to Wal-Mart today. They did not have caskets, by the way. From this trip, I'd like to leave myself a note for when I become old and gray.
Please stay agile all through the years. If this is an impossible task, I do not fault you. However, everyone else will and if you don't want to get run over with carts, do it!
While I understand that as you age, your body does not function like it used to in many ways. Not only do I sympathize with that, but I've already felt those effects. But it is insanely frustrating to navigate through aisles barely meant for two carts to fit through and then come to a stand still because the aisle slows to turtle speed. Actually, turtles may just be offended by that.
If you are unable to move quickly, at least try to pay attention.
On top of that, I dislike running into people that I went to high school with.

Death at a Discount
"Excuse me, where would I be able to find a casket?"
"Oh, sorry! We don't carry them in store. You can check them out online at www.walmart.com. We have multiple selections for less than $900!"
Never before today did I think that was a conversation that I could possibly ever have at Wal-Mart. However, my hopes have been answered. Or something. Before the next person I know passes away, I can suggest that they include in their will to go to Wal-Mart for their classy price-rolled-back casket. Nothing says honoring death like a cheaply made box for you to rot away in.
I shop at Wal-Mart on a regular basis. However, I don't feel that a casket would be a staple item that I would want to purchase there. They all look quite lovely and the descriptions make them seem so comfortable, but I am not picking out a sleeping bed. It's a death bed. And while I may be cheap, I never thought "Gee, I hope they skimp on what I will forever lay in when I'm gone."
Then again, I'm pretty sure I want to get cremated so I'll probably end up in some stainless steel container that costs about 20 bucks. Hmm. Maybe that casket isn't so bad after all?
