    This woman is out of her mind. I not saying that these things didn’t happen to her, but she needs some serious serious help.

  • Death to funeral

    So very interesting This brought back memories! ! I dated a Resp. Therapy student that moon lighted at a funeral home 11- 7, was a good place to study. I’d take my dinner break from the hospital. We’d visit with the “clients” so they weren’t alone. Sounds silly I know but it was a very peaceful atmosphere. Death is that final journey we all must take .

    The chat with Xavier made me smile the whole episode. I seriously needed that. It was good to hear heartfelt and real conversations. The music by Xavier at the end was a bonus.
