brvnkrz 20491 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-19-04, 10:57 PM (EST) 1. "RE: Family Plots" I set my reminder, I think it looks hilarious. if you don't have anything nice to say, come sit next to me.   Top

brvnkrz 20491 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-20-04, 00:17 AM (EST) 2. "RE: Family Plots" I'm only 20 minutes into the show and I am laughing my ass off already. They are hysterical. if you don't have anything nice to say, come sit next to me.   Top

mistofleas 8043 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-20-04, 12:55 PM (EST) 3. "RE: Family Plots" I loved it. Mr.Fleas had to leave the room, even seeing the hands and partial faces and hair of the deceased made him queasy. Chuck was killing me! --feels for Shanna since she has to hold it together all the time   Top

brvnkrz 20491 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-20-04, 02:17 PM (EST) 5. "RE: Family Plots" My GF is way more morbid than I am but even she had to turn her head a couple of times. I have to say the accident woman was a little disturbing for me. I got the biggest kick out of their interactions with one another. I did find it disturbing and amusing as the statement in the begining said might happen. if you don't have anything nice to say, come sit next to me.   Top

SurvivorBlows 15230 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-20-04, 01:09 PM (EST) 4. "RE: Family Plots" I missed the "real" airing, but then was flipping through the channels and caught a rebroadcast of Ep2 at 1:30AM (I guess I missed seeing Ep1 at 1AM) I thought it was pretty good, although I'm continually shocked that "normal" folks -- apparently even in their time of grief -- continue to sign waivers so that their footage can be broadcast. I mean if you aren't willing to set aside your DAWsire even when you're going to bury your mom, when the hell are you??? -SB   Top

brvnkrz 20491 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-20-04, 02:28 PM (EST) 6. "RE: Family Plots" I had the same thought but then wondered if these were people that could not otherwise afford decent burials and were in trade given the services for free. if you don't have anything nice to say, come sit next to me.   Top

mistofleas 8043 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-20-04, 04:20 PM (EST) 7. "RE: Family Plots" I figure there has to be some trade off for the bereaved. Sign the waiver and you can get the dark wood casket as opposed to the cardboard. OR catching them right in the height of their grief means more people will sign the waiver. But then letting the camera in at the viewing...wow...I was a little shocked by that. Of course, I don't understand or agree with funerals anyway so the whole set up kind of shocks me. --has stated very clearly that no one sees her ass after she's dead, she dies, she gets burnt up, she gets turned into a jewel and sold...end of story   Top

Molaholic 9015 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-26-04, 11:03 PM (EST) 15. "RE: Family Plots" I've been wondering about the same thing --- but it also looks like some of the material was filmed before family members would have made contact with the mortuary (like tonight when they picked up the old lady at the retirement home). Must have losts of video they didn't get releases for... The close-up of the dead lady's face was in bad taste, IMHO.   Top

Esbea 7377 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-21-04, 01:53 PM (EST) 8. "RE: Family Plots" that really suprised me too, especially because you could tell that there was a cameraman filming some of it (as opposed to a discreetly hidden camera). I felt so bad when they had to totally reconstruct that ladies face and then her family showed up too early! It also cracked me up that the other sisters wanted her to do their makeup before they went out! "Light a fire for a man, and you keep him warm for the night. Light a man afire, and you keep him warm for the rest of his life.''   Top

Swami 5885 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-21-04, 03:37 PM (EST) 9. "How did I miss this show?" Will tune in next week. I love macabre sh!t, and people being idiots--so this sounds like the best of both worlds. note to self: check Other Shows forum more often.   Top

MollyTV 480 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Daytime Soap Guest Star" 04-24-04, 06:36 AM (EST) 10. "RE: Family Plots" i think it must be true that they get some kind of $$ for allowing their dear departed to be shown on national television. but oh how ironic....she wanted a closed casket for the rest of the family....but showed her dead mother on TV??? cash can be the only explanation??? mollytv   Top

kelli_blue 301 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Cooking Show Host" 04-24-04, 10:08 AM (EST) 11. "RE: Family Plots" Darn it, I missed it! Hopefully they'll reair the first & second episode so I can see it from the beginning. Sounds like it was pretty good!   Top

brvnkrz 20491 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-26-04, 07:01 PM (EST) 12. "RE: Family Plots" Just a friendly bump because it is on tonight. if you don't have anything nice to say, come sit next to me.   Top

Deonna 2425 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Seventeen Magazine Model" 04-26-04, 09:28 PM (EST) 13. "OMG!!" This mortuary is right down the road from me. They handled the last funeral I went to. This is bazaar. Deonna   Top

Molaholic 9015 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-26-04, 10:58 PM (EST) 14. "RE: OMG!!" Cool... what's the actual location then?   Top

Deonna 2425 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Seventeen Magazine Model" 04-27-04, 08:44 AM (EST) 24. "RE: OMG!!" LAST EDITED ON 04-27-04 AT 08:53 AM (EST) They are in the city of Poway, right outside of San Diego. Deonna Edited to add: Rancho Bernardo is on the other side of Poway. I live on the San Diego side of the Poway/San Diego boarder.   Top

muffin143 1 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 04-29-04, 00:59 AM (EST) 25. "RE: OMG!!" I, too, live in Poway (about 5 minutes from the mortuary) and was looking in the local newpaper, where I found this article.

true 9689 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-26-04, 11:32 PM (EST) 16. "RE: Family Plots" I caught the re-runs late last night. Loved it! It did, however, reinforce my desire to be cremated.   Top

brvnkrz 20491 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-26-04, 11:40 PM (EST) 17. "RE: Family Plots" It makes me want to have fun with my funeral. I told my girlfriend tonight that I want my casket in the back of a pick up truck, not a hearse, and I want her to glue the fake Halloween butts to the top of it so that when the procession is driving down the road everyone will just see this big old butt sticking out of a casket. I want to have fun with death because otherwise the whole thought is too depressing to me. I also want my headstone to say "I would rather be at a party" For some reason GF said she will not take care of my requests. That is cool that it is down the street from you and how bizarre that they did the last funeral you attended. if you don't have anything nice to say, come sit next to me.   Top

mistofleas 8043 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-27-04, 00:00 AM (EST) 18. "RE: Family Plots" I also want my headstone to say "I would rather be at a party" I'm still gigglin'! Too funny. --knows funerals are for the family cuz if you're dead you're not going to really care what happens to your body but anyone who gets together and cries, wails, moans or gnashes their teeth over her death, is gonna find themselves haunted for a good long time   Top

brvnkrz 20491 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-27-04, 00:09 AM (EST) 19. "RE: Family Plots" That's what I told GF tonight. I want everyone to laugh and have a great time at my funeral. Exchange the holy water with Tequila and have a great time. I also told her that I want her life to be miserable after I am gone though. I told her I wanted her to be devasted because I am supposed to be her whole world. Of course I was kidding, well, half kidding. I told her that I would haunt her if she "re-married" ,that one, not so much kidding. LOL if you don't have anything nice to say, come sit next to me.   Top

mistofleas 8043 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-27-04, 00:17 AM (EST) 20. "RE: Family Plots" Exhanging tequila for holy water...not a bad idea at all! Then you put the lime wedges on the plate where those cracker things usually go and you're set! --told Mr.Fleas I would approve of him re-marrying after my death as long as it was a platonic marriage   Top

Deonna 2425 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Seventeen Magazine Model" 05-02-04, 08:47 PM (EST) 27. "RE: Family Plots" It is so nice to see how they seem to really care about the people, both living and dead that they work with. Deonna   Top

brvnkrz 20491 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-02-04, 09:06 PM (EST) 28. "RE: Family Plots" That's what we were saying. How they can be so funny and cussing each other out but then the next scene they are being so loving to the grieving family. I suppose one must have a good sense of humor to do what they do. if you don't have anything nice to say, come sit next to me. CASH Wine gopher   Top

MollyTV 480 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Daytime Soap Guest Star" 05-04-04, 06:18 AM (EST) 29.

Mon Cherie 1813 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 05-21-04, 07:55 PM (EST) 30. "Almost too painful to watch..." Reminds me too much of my current job working with my family. Dad: Owner/maintenance/security of apartments that house mentally disabled and formerly homeless people. Also leads Bible studies Sunday mornings for residents, complete with homemade breakfast he cooks. Mom: Co-owner and manager/resident advocate/social planner Sister in Law: Office manager/family mediator Brother: Maintenance/Driving Mom and myself crazy Me: Secretary/case manager/maintenance/black sheep of the family (according to Brother) Skippy the Dog: Security/Entertainment/french fry eater It's great. Really. Just yesterday I called my brother a self-centered, self-righteous insensitive jerk. Back OT, I really do like the show. The dad cracks me up. The dead bodies give me willies though. I had a friend that worked in a funeral home, and she invited me to eat lunch with her there, at a table in the garage area, where dead bodies were being removed from vans (in bags of course). I couldn't eat. Was an interesting experience though.
