Who does not think of debt & death?

Life in general is a pain in the ass, Life certainly is a pain as it does pass, Some can understand its beauty, Though personally I see that beauty never lasts… Borrowing from one to pay the other, Not paying anyone at all I cannot tolerate, But at times I haven’t got the ability, Guess I will be in debt till I pass through the pearly gate… Debt I think in the end will kill me, As well credit or the lack there of, There is no hitting the lottery if we don’t of it play, I look forward with not worries of my death day. © -ed- 10/22/19

"Life in general is a pain in the ass," I don't think I can agree with this Ed. Life (in this body) is a beautiful challenging experience threaded with the unforeseen and suffering. Hope you're maintaining. The holidays are almost upon us. Richard

We all should live within our means. But there are certainly those who have trouble with that for various reasons, sometimes beyond their ability to control. When I see all the waste that people do, it seems like some of it should go to those in need.

Back to your dilemma. As far as I know, if one has a lot of debt at the time of death, unless there are relatives with some liability, there's no way in hell those trying to get money out of a dead man, like getting blood out of stone, will succeed.

The Saggy, Baggy Boobs Blues,

Growing up alone is not so bad...

Alone in life...

Memories I am Unable to Forget...

To wish for death...

I find it interesting that only in the wee hours of the morning is when I find myself able to write anymore... <br>

Rain, thunder & lightning, oh my...

Hey, I think I might have found a little humor...?
