Is it creepy to visit gravesites??

[RobBase]

Only if you dig them up and bang them.

That is the most awe inspiring place I've ever visited. 2nd was on the Maid of the Mist getting that close to powerful water at Niagra Falls. 3rd was witnessing my Miners beat BYU once.

You ever do Cave of the Wind at Niagara?

Much cooler than the boat, for me.

But just cremate me and dump my ashes in the river

I want to be cremated and then my ashes spread across the carpet upstairs so my wife can pick up after me one last time.

After the Texas Tech Medical School gets through slicing and dicing my old ass, I'm getting cremated. But I want my ashes put in two urns. And I want them placed on my two daughters fireplace mantles so I can continue to be an old "fuddy duddy"....at least according to them.

No. We had the grandkids with us and they were too young. I've heard it is real awe inspiring.

In Texas, we take people to the cemetery to go snipe hunting.

Yep

The new Faces of Death? I know you're old enough to remember those.

Of course I do. Pretty annoyed they all turned out to be fake.

Hallowed ground. Made the hair on my arms stand up when I was wandering around on the hill behind the visitor's center.

I'm curious to hear your reaction to visiting Arlington National.

It was awe inspiring. I get roughly the same feeling walking around the national cemetery here in dallas. It's where my grandparents are both now buried, and we do a wreath laying ceremony every year for the holidays

Reminds me of F. Scott Fitzgeralds "The Great Gatsby".

"Let us learn to show our friendship for a man when he is alive and not after he is dead. After that my own rule is to let everything alone."

Gatsby Quote

Reminds me of the joke "I don't know who Scott Fitzgerald is but a lot of people hate him"

Even the monkey brains?!

My older cousin brought one home once and all I remember is the little monkey in the table

oh, and the dudes jumping from vines that looked like bungee jumping gone wrong.

What’s wrong with screwing in a graveyard? I mean, they can’t say no if they’re dead, and you have countless options

1 2 3 4 !

One thing I've wanted to do my entire adult life was visit Arlington National Cemetery to honor our fallen soldiers. I'll be there in a couple weeks.

It was one of the most humbling and awestruck moments in my life. We spent an entire day there and, truth be told, it was one of the top 3 favorite things we did on our DC trip.

Like nothing I’ve ever expierienced.

And you get free flip flops.

If you shake my Grandma’s urn, it rattles. The titanium from her hip is still in there.

I’d like to think she’d get a laugh out of it, like I do.

Ive been to the national cemeteries but the USS Arizona memorial and Battleship Missouri really felt different followed by a tour of the preserved bullet ridden buildings and it is surreal. As far as memorials/graves go

That's the one I'd love to visit. Next would be the 9-11 Memorial.

Yea it was different, not only knowing that it is a mass grave but the site of where they died and its significance in history is just like i already said surreal

Id imagine the September 11th memorial would be the same maybe more, i haven't been. I remember watching it happen then flying on September 17th on orders, i had been home stayin with my mom, everything about that week felt crazy like a weird ass dream i cant even begin to imagine it though probably pretty intense.
