I've done lots of volunteer work for Find A Grave, photographing thousands of headstones and creating interments, as well as adding photographs to pre-existing interments and writing about 75 biographies for famous individuals. My favorite headstones are the really old ones, from the early 19th century on back. I love the deep engravings, the typography, the curlicues on top of the stones, the skulls, the shape, the type of stone. These old stones have held up remarkably well, while a lot of the later 19th century stones I've seen are tragically weather-beaten and very hard to read.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167030264910213419.post-14426442127850597062014-12-17T07:04:20.936-08:002014-12-17T07:04:20.936-08:00I love to look at the dates, too, to see when they...I love to look at the dates, too, to see when they lived.

I'm afraid my obsession with Marilyn Manson is escalating to wanting to go to his concert when he goes on tour in Jan. Only problem? No one but maybe my brother will consider going...

I read about the Obits of dead stars and how they died. Right now i am compiling a list of the many ways they have died. Heart Attack is #1 followed by cancer. A number of different illnesses are also in the running (from pneumonia to TB). There are quite a few overdoses and actually many that had heart attacks or ailments caused by their drug use.
